I Know Your Secret

Victory is never a Secret

Dumbledore called to arms again as he noticed nothing changed. However, again no fight broke out and he looked around to see aurors were around the hall turning on each other, some now sporting commonwealth auror uniforms with the new commonwealth badge over their right chest of gold and silver entwined on a green world.

Not just that but members of the wizengamot and audience turned on each other, a lot of which wore the new commonwealth symbol of unity.

"Looks like you've lost Albus Dumbledore!" Ginny commented as she had switched out her camera for her wand, standing at the ready to fight side by side with her girlfriend and love, Luna Lovegood, and yes, she did love more than good.

"YOU BITCH TRAITOR!"

She turned, surprised to see her brother's Ronald and Percy at commonwealth wand point, hands above their heads in the audience section of the hall looking down into the pit as if she had ever had any loyalty to anyone but her dear friend Kairi.

"Albus Dumbledore is a great wizard, and we will beat you!" Ron roared down angrily. "Good always triumphs over evil like you! Hanging out with filthy Slytherins, and now, look, a Dark Lord, two of them!"

Hope and Tabitha looked at themselves before checking each other with quick scans, frowning.

"I took the mental illusion off ages ago and everyone just accepted it," Hope commented with a frown.

"Well, I can't detect any traces, and mine aren't up either!" Tabitha said with a shrug.

"I pick up nothing!" Hope agreed with a nod.

Hermione chose to scan them both. "Nope, no illusions, at all," she agreed with them. "But I have heard of some psychosis' where people like Ronald just can't handle the raw truth, and believing Albus Dumbledore is always right is likely messing with his mind so he had been told Hope and Tabitha were male by Albus Dumbledore, so he just believes it on such blind, unconditional faith, even with proof to the contrary – I don't think that's healthy believing in the old man like he is a god."

"Professor Dumbledore is a god among normal men!" Ron shouted out in pride.

"So... where do I get one of those lovely commonwealth patches?" Lucius Malfoy asked as he stepped away from where he had been supporting the ministry and Dumbledore, mainly to get in the way of Potter, because he had nothing better to do, but now he knew crazy when he saw it. "M-Master," he said looking down at Tabitha. "You'll vouch for me won't you? I can do things right from now one, please for the love of the goddess save me from them!"

"You ran away hiding while I had to hide away as less than a GHOST!" she said coolly. "At least that idiot Pettigrew came and found me, but then I did kill him! I have to prove myself, so too would you!" she shrugged non-committing.

"H-he just admitted he was a Death Eater!" the minister Fudge cried out in anguish as if he didn't already know that.

Lucius snorted. "Honestly, I didn't want to be a Death Eater!" he retorted, turning his nose up at the idea. "I wanted to be a healer, but I never had that kind of talent, so I tried something else. My mother was an excellent cook, and I had her talent so I wanted to open a bakery. But my father never allowed me to learn, and go to as he put it: 'a filthy muggle school'.

"The magical world didn't have bakery schools!" he continued looking depressed. "I wanted to make pastries when I left Hogwarts. But the magical world doesn't have bakery school as I said. I had to hide my real desire at school to protect myself from people in my house who were likely doing the same, ironically. Then we had to deal with the rep that we never earned for being evil, and getting bullied for it.
