Chapter Text

Lionus motioned for Mr. Weasley to follow him, and led the three people into the spare classroom across the hall. Twice along the way, the Ranger that had brought Lucius had to restrain Mr. Weasley from pummeling every inch of Malfoy he could reach.

"Well, this is will serve our purposes just fine. " said Lionus. "Now Mr. Lucius, I believe that you have some retribution coming back to you."

"Don't know what you are talking about." said Lucius stiffly, trying to sound aloof, but failing miserably.

"Do we have his wand, Darkhunt?" asked Lionus.

"Yes, sir. I have it." said Darkhunt, twirling the wand around his fingers.

"Good, and," he snapped his fingers and suddenly another wand came shooting out of the folds of Mr. Weasley's robes and landed gently into Lionus' hands. "There now the odds are evened. Mr. Weasley, if you wish?"

"What do you mean?" asked Mr. Weasley, he was too busy snarling at Lucius to even pay attention to the fact that his wand was gone.

"Have at him; pummel him to your heart's content. I'll give you ten minutes, but no more." said Lionus with a smile. Mr. Weasley smiled viciously; he didn't need to be told twice.

"What for?" said Lucius quickly. He didn't like the way Weasley was smiling and cracking his knuckles and advancing on him slowly.

"Subjecting his daughter to unspeakable terror and pain in her first year of school, to start with." said Lionus.

"You can't do this!" said Lucius backing away from Arthur, he hated pain, he loved dealing it out, but being on the receiving end of it?

"You'll find that I can, and I'm going to, fists and kicks, Arthur. I don't want to have to cover up his murder." said Lionus leaving the room. "Darkhunter, make sure they play nice. I'm going to go back to the Great Hall, there's someone I need to talk to."

"Yes sir." said Darkhunter saluting and smiling at the first uppercut that was delivered to Lucius.

Lionus went back to the Great Hall and smiled as all the eyes of the students, teachers and guests were staring up at him. Then a whirl of yellow came up to meet him, but a quick shove sent the yellow blur back flying.

"Let me go!" said young Mr. Malfoy angrily.

"Now why would you want to go in there?" said Lionus with a smirk.

"

That's my father

!" said Draco angrily.

"Well aware of it. Your father is getting his due, and he should consider himself lucky that I'm not going to kill him or imprison him." said Lionus.

"Why the hell aren't you going to arrest him?" shouted Bill.

"I think life without magical abilities is punishment enough, don't you?" said Lionus to Bill with a broad smile.

"Wait..What?" said Malfoy weakly.

"Your father is no more powerful than a Squib now." said Lionus. "The Ranger that's with him now has a very peculiar ability. If he gets ahold of your wand, your magic is done for. Until he releases the magic from his body. Deal with it, unless he does something in these books or beyond, he isn't getting his powers back. Besides, if you go in there, you'll only see your dad get the shit beaten out of him."
