THE ALLIANCE

"Are you sure this will work?" Ron asked, as he looked around the darkened room they managed to put together very quickly.

"Well that," Alex said, pointing at Ron, "Is not the sort of attitude we need here."

"Do you know what you're going to say?" Harry asked Gwen, as he looked around to Astoria and Malfoy, who had joined in to help them; shock on both of their faces.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to rally everyone to kick out everyone who doesn't agree with me" Gwen said, as she grabbed the floo powder and hiked it up to the counter.

Harry flinched, "That's not what--"

"I know...I'm sorry" Gwen said, as she took a deep breath and looked around to all of them. "We're just taking a big risk here."

"And when has that stopped us before?" Alex grinned dangerously.

Gwen bit her lip as she placed the last of the Floo powder down. They were to use the Floo network through a wide-net; using her resources and Department; they were going to project their message to every household in the Wizarding network. And with their connections to MACUSA, hopefully cast a wider net there.

They were adding their own twist to the Floo Network; they would combine it with their memories- their own Pensieves. Everyone watching would not just see them, but feel their memories while they spoke to them.

Gwen remembered how the Cullens were so enamored when she shared her memories with them. They felt what she felt, saw what she saw...And by them not just sharing their testimonies, but their memories and their emotions- she was hopeful the magical republic could see the truth. With Astoria's help, they were to program it to stay on a loop- with Ron's confession, then Malfoy's, and her reveal in the end. They would should they were alive. They were united.

"Let's do it" Gwen nodded. "Ron, you're up first."

Gwen remembered Ron's stage fright, especially during their fifth year when he came in front of a crowd. She didn't remember until then...But to her surprise, Ron didn't stutter one word. He weaved a tapestry of love and hate; of his love for Hermione and hate for Gwen; his mistakes and betrayal in between and ultimately, his hate for the war of who it has turned him into.

Gwen listened to Ron's tale as she pictured how the general public would take his words, his confession. She listened to his story once again, of his love affair with Daphne Greengrass--feeling the emotion of conflict and lust; and ultimately of grief. Ron continued with their plot to discredit Gwen. Of their plot to discredit the Republic of Magic and becoming the betrayer of the everything he was privy to. And then how they started to plot, attaining Irina's trust and blood. Then Ron named those within the Republic of Magic who had betrayed them, including Tiberius McLaggen- as the fire showed Ron's memory of seeing him in those plotting gatherings and the Italian Ministries aid.

Ron then confessed to the plotting of Gwen's death, as the scene then changed to Volterra and speaking to the Volturi about the new truce they made with them in order to keep the two magical worlds from joining. Ron continued to his role in Gwen's death--and the fire soon flashed to the battle and when he injected her and the chaos that ensued after.

Gwen paused as she stepped away, shaking as the memories engulfed her once more. She didn't need to experience Ron's memories because she could see moments in her head, she could hear the screams... She heard Gaia's screams, she heard Eleazar's last words calling out before he disappeared, she saw the blood, she heard the screams of pain--and her mind was flooded with flashes of what she witnessed.
