How I ended up (Forgotten Mistake by BtsPeace)

Chapter 9 - His Butler, Mycroft

Modern Era, Phantomhive Manor

Ciel met the Order of the Phoenix and their children for brunch two hours from then; Ciel made sure to give Dumbledore a dirty look, which definitely deterred the headmaster from looking at him. Many could sense that something had gone on between them but no one decided to bring it up in the conversation. He had to admit that Black and his partner Lupin were nothing but respectful, even though his family had a long-standing relationship with the black family. But from what 'experience,' he had had with the former Black lord, his son Sirius had been a major screw-up, a Gryffindor that had run away at fifteen to live with his best friend. But this man, who he believed was the same Sirius that Orion Black always complained about was nothing like what his father had made him out to be. He was respectful of pureblood relations and his werewolf partner was the exact same. If anything, he grew to like the couple. Sebastian had also informed him that on Harry Potter's birth certificate, Sirius Black and Severus Snape were his Godfathers. But that didn't matter.

Lily Potter, Harry Potter's mother was still red and puffy-eyed. He almost felt sorry for the woman, she had believed that her child had been missing and to just be hit with the fact that her son had died when he was 4 and none of them knew about it until 10 years later. James sat beside his wife, though he didn't pay her any attention to the fact that she was silently crying, he was paying attention to his brat of a son who was complaining about the food, and the fact that it wasn't pancakes and waffles like he always had for breakfast at home.

Mad-eye Moody was busy eating while listening to James talking to his son. Though his magical eye studied their young host, who was eating his specially prepared breakfast. Moody was impressed by the child, he was incredibly skilled, either that or his butler was, one of the two. He still couldn't get over how the boy had only had the assignment for a week and had already found out just as much, if not more than they already knew. Moody had to begrudgingly admit that the Earl was fitter for this task than any of the rest of them, and he had even started to like the way this boy handled things. Without children, who shouldn't ever be involved in a war, even if he was a child himself. He would have to talk to the Earl sometime soon, he had noticed how Albus was acting towards him, and it was quite provocative. He knew that Albus wasn't happy from the start but the way he was acting was completely childish and unnecessary.

Ciel had noticed Mad-eye Moody's eye staring at him for quite some time now, he found the idea of the eye weird when Sebastian had first told him about it, luckily he had managed to enchant his eyepatch against magical objects like those, but it was still slightly creepy. Ciel was curious to find out how the Order of the Phoenix would have normally acted in a setting that they were most comfortable with and with more of the group, but he knew that he could get Moody to talk about it, he seemed like the type of person that lived for the drama and action of the events; and talk about it to anyone that would listen and agree with what he said. Something that Ciel could do perfectly, without mistake.

Dumbledore abruptly set down his glass, knife and fork on the plate which startled most people into silence and their eyes on him, including the narrowed one of Ciel Phantomhive. "are we going to discuss how you're going to take down Voldemort or not, because quite frankly Ciel, I have a school to run," he turned to stare directly at him, not once breaking eye contact.

Ciel gently placed his glass down on the table and breathed in silently and out, the whole table was deadly quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Ciel looked up at Dumbledore like he was staring harshly into his soul. "Dumbledore, you of all people should know that great genius takes time to deliver. I am only cleaning up a mess that you failed to resolve fifteen years ago. Your school, while I understand is very important to you and the upbringing of magical children and their protection is at the forefront of your mind. You are required to give me all your information on Tom Riddle first before I can dismiss you." Ciel could see that his words angered the old man, but why should he care, Dumbledore had been the one to leave his precious prophecy child for dead.
