Chapter Seven - More Reveals and Coffee 

NOVA sighed as she pulled a bit of fluff from her robes, the chain across her chest jingled as she moved.  She gave another sigh before bracing herself, her hands clasped together in front of her as she eyed the entering witches and wizards. It wasn't the first time she was called to a meeting like this and it certainly wouldn't be the last, but in all honesty, she preferred working from home. The office or rather it was a large banquet hall, they had gathered in. Had yet to see better days, Dust had gathered in the corners and cobwebs had decorated the large high ceiling; there were also a few cracked pave stones on the floor. The only clean thing was the long table and several high-backed chairs surrounding it. Nova took her place as did the others, each assigned a chair. The president of MACUSA Madam President Danny Greystone took the head of the table, She looked at everyone in turn. Seven pairs of eyes stared at her.

"Thank you so much for coming in Miss Malfoy" She replied with a nod. "We are here because there have been rumours of dark magic being practised in the south."

"The South?" Urma Dracon questioned if it was news to her as head of the Protection of Secrecy then it was certainly news to them all. 

"But we've just cleared the South" Lily White questioned, Her eyes zeroing in on her twin brother who sat opposite her "My department came back with the reports" Lily was head of the safety of Magical creatures and her twin was heading up the department of Dangerous creatures. 

"I know" replied Madam President, she shifted in her seat, clearly uncomfortable. 

We have received the reports after your own" The President looked to Margery Plant, the department head of misuse of No-Maj artifices. "We have been sent an object with a note" Danny reached into her robes, similar style to Nova's but whereas Nova's was dragon hide for both comfort and protection the President's was made of pure silk. She pulled out a scroll of parchment, which Theo Thorns, second secretary to the President unravelled with his wand, the parchment's writing began to write in the air, so everyone at the table could read. It only had six words but it sent shivers down Nova's spine.

The Dark Lord shall rise again

"The dark lord? is that what the British called Voldemort all those years ago" Lily commented with a gasp. Seven pairs of eyes looked at Nova and she sighed straightening up. 

"Tom Riddle died almost Thirteen years ago. The United Kingdom don't have a dark witch or Wizard. We don't want another war" She explained "Harry Potter monitors those in Azkaban and so far only one has gone missing" 

"Who?" Demanded the first secretary of the president, Steven Porter, He and Nova never saw eye to eye. He judged her for her last name; He fully believed her to be evil like her parents. 

"My father" Nova replied after a single breath. 

"How convenient" Steven stated harshly, his dark eyes narrowing he pointed a dark finger at her spinning in his seat to look at the President "Ma'am She and the Potter boy have been nothing but trouble"

"If it wasn't for Nova and Harry" Lily hissed her dark hair falling across her shoulders as she leaned forward to stare down Steven "We wouldn't even be aware of anything. We would be blind" 

"How convenient for them" Steven sneered at Lilly "We would be yes but we would manage after all this is America's problem" Steven glared over at Nova, her eyes darting to his as she too allowed her temper to flare 

"America didn't even help in the war against Tom Riddle, I believe you, yourself voted against housing our orphans and vulnerable how convenient to get that Potter Boy you so affectionately call him, on board you changed your vote at the last minute" Nova was hissing her words, her grey eyes storming like a storm cloud as anger seemed to fill her. Steven even shuddered under her glare but he held his glare.
