cloudy with a Chance of freedom

chapter 37

This is a hint of a possible pairing for Skull, but he is BI, not gay.

"I thought you were joking about this!" hissed Blaise irate.

"Why would I joke about chaos?" asked Skull baffled.

"This is both hilarious and enlightening," said Renato, grinning.

"Hey, you're the one who mentioned what I was planning to her of all people!" said Skull.

The trio watched as the two ladies of 'distinguished' age bonded over pictures of grandchildren and blowing something up that belonged to a bunch of idiots.

Introducing Daniela Vongola and the Queen of England was a complete accident, but damn if it wasn't hilarious to watch the two mature women gleefully aim their bombardment at what used to be the mansion belonging to one Cornelius Fudge.

The man was currently trapped in a Wizangamot meeting and the aurors were a bit busy with the Dark Mark that Skull had cheerfully shot over the house of Delores Umbridge.

Which meant that the response time for the attack was likely to be a complete joke.

"How did you even kidnap the queen anyway?" asked Renato curious.

"I walked into the room she was in without much warning and said I have an enchanted tank and the location of several Death Eater homes or their sympathizers and I was wondering if she'd like to help blow a few up as a way to express her royal displeasure to their behavior back when they were active for harming her citizens. Once she got over her shock and found out I wasn't kidding, she was all for it. I even sweetened the deal by telling her she could have free reign to blow up the current Minister's mansion for being an incompetent politician who would happily look the other way if paid enough, especially if the victim was a 'muggle' or 'muggleborn'. She didn't even mind the kidnapping since she found the whole thing rather amusing. Daniela's presence is all Renato's fault though."

Blaise looked sorely tempted to hex his Sky and best friend. Or strangle him, fifty-fifty.

Renato...was too busy laughing at the chaos Skull was creating.

"That was entirely too much fun!" said Daniela happily. "I wish my son was as amusing as you."

"Agreed," said Elizabeth, grinning wildly.

Being the queen was bloody boring, never mind the fact she rarely got to cut loose and do something like this. She couldn't complain about it, but this was the most fun she had had in years.

"Now about these bases you want to release for private buyers... may I ask what you plan to do with them?" asked the Queen.

"Build villages and give a discreet out, mostly. There are an untold number of 'new bloods' who don't have anywhere to go because the idiots in the current administration don't like the fact their blood isn't pure enough for them. Never mind the werewolves and other 'creatures'."

The Queen was apparently satisfied with that answer, because it sounded like her 'kidnapper' was planning to solve quite a few issues with the homeless and jobless magicals cast out because they weren't the "right sort".

"At the most we'll be doing farms to produce food and other things, but that's about it. The issue is the land needed and the ability to become 'legitimate' villages and towns for bureaucracy's sake."

"We shall see about giving you full access to the bases no longer in use. However the inhabitants will have to submit to the Crown's law, not the Ministry's."

"We're planning a hostile takeover of that place anyway, and hopefully we'll have an acceptable replacement before things get out of hand. At the very least they'll learn to respect the new 'law keepers'," said Skull with a straight face. "Now milady, would you like a lift back to your residence?"
