Chapter 11

The dragon's wrath

Hogwarts School

4 days before the tournament

The residence of the castle noticed the Imperial Military had become far more unfriendly to anyone that wasn't one of their own.

The DLME and the Minister had been summoned to the castle by request of the Emperor himself who was not yet present however a large group of his troops around the edge of the hall however his cousin the Lady Susan was here.

Minister Fudge made his way over to her only to stop when her two guards reached for their blades, "Lady Susan do you know why the Emperor has requested us at the castle." Susan gave the Minister a political smile.

"Minister the Emperor has summoned you for answers and I pray to the Nine that you have good answers for him he is not very happy with your government." It took all of Susan's self-control not to burst out in laughter at the Ministers face at this revelation. Afterall and angry Emperor was never a good thing for a Minister of magic.

Just then the great hall doors opened showing Penitus Oculatus agents dragging Professor Moody in chains followed by the Emperor himself in full Armour his sword drawn, Albus stormed forward completely shocked that one of his professors was being treated like a criminal.

"Hadrian what is the meaning of this you have no right to arrest one of my professors release him immediately." Albus was completely ignored as Hadrian's troops pushed passed him placing the bound professor Infront of the headmaster's chair of which the Emperor sat down his still drawn Silver Sword in his hand.

Looking down at the so-called professor he smirked as the hour was nearly up the changing had already started before the entire hall to the shock of Albus Dumbledore and the Ministry staff kneeled before the Throne was Barty Crouch jr a known Death eater who was said to have died years ago in prison.

The man was clearly insane as he began laughing like an absolute madman before turning to the Emperor. "Well done your majesty I can honestly say I didn't see this happing, but it matters not my master will return to full strength."

"is that so Death-Eater well then maybe some time in an Imperial Prison my Interrogator's will enjoy making you talk." that got people's attention the Emperor was openly admitting to allowing torture and that got under the Skin of a certain anti Imperial.

"That's barbaric! You can't torture people he's not one of your citizens he deserves a". Hermione yelled before being interrupted by the Empress Elisif

"Shut your mouth Outrelmer! I will not have some lowlife peasant question my Husband." Elisif had not been in a good mood she despised the Outrelms but she also din not want to be here especially in her current condition…..yes that's right the Empress was with child an heir to the Septim Dynasty.

Barty Crouch jr had enough of the arguing he knew his time was limited his master had no need of him now he had a powerful ally a being of godlike strength he stood up causing the Legionaries and DLME to draw their weapons.

"I am afraid your majesty that will not happen my master has no use for me anymore not now that he has a new ally who has the power to bring your Empire down, Long live the Dark-Lord and long live Lord Stone-Fire." With that said the Death eater burst into flames.

That name made the Emperor and his advisors freeze that name how was it possible how could Voldemort gain the alliance of him of all beings.

Later that Night the entire castle was on lockdown Imperial Troops patrolled the halls and were now far more aggressive any student or staff member who was stupid enough to get in there way or disobey the rules were punished harshly.

The Goblet was surrounded by Nordic Battle-Mages and the Emperor himself his eyes once again in full Draconic form Albus watched in wonder of what they were doing and why had the Emperor become so angry over that name.

Hadrian rose his hand into the air sparks of lightning spurting from his fingertips hitting the goblet the same thing was happing with the Battle-Mages the Emperor then spoke in a language not known to the people except for some such as the high chancellor.

"Naal faal fen se Rahhe, naal faal right do dii sus gifted wa dii line naal bormah Bormahu zu'u sever faal ties do daar goblet do yol wa its muz bonds ful says faal Dovahkiin ful say faal Rahhe."

To the shock of the Imperials the Emperor had just spoken in the Dragon language it had caused the castle to shake at the sheer power of his Thu'um the goblet of fire let out a burst of green flames that Shot at the other free champions bathing them in a warmth they had never experienced.

When it was over the Emperor turned to the gathered students to speak. "the Tournament is cancelled the champions are no longer bound to the Goblet due to the disgusting display of treason I have ever seen."

Hadrian was not done yet he declared the other 2 schools no longer welcome in his property and they were given a day to leave. By the end of that week the Imperial army had withdrawn from Hogwarts back to Potter Castle.

The Emperor sent word to the mages Guild for all available resources to be diverted to figure-out how a Daedric Prince could influence the Outrelms for you see the being known as Stone-Fire was more commonly known as Lord Molag Bal the Prince of Domination.

The Emperor should have been happy he was going to be a father however that was shrouded by the threat of another possible invasion from oblivion, you see while the Dragon-fires protected Tamriel from the forces of Oblivion the Outrelms had no such protection as long as magic from Aetherius seeped from Tamriel into the Outrelm the Princes of Oblivion could exploit it.

This left Hadrian with a very difficult choice to make he could scour the magical world for Voldemort and end him however that could take time, time they may not have or he could do the unthinkable he could close the Portal however if he did it could cause a great cataclysm that could Wipeout the majority of the people that called earth their home.

That and all magical species would die a very quick but painful death and despite there hatred for the Outrelms no one would quickly jump at the chance to commit mass genocide. So Hadrian sat there on his Throne in the Imperial City pondering his choice what would he do risk his Empire or sacrifice the Outrelms.

(Authors note: hey people I hope you like it also the Spell Hadrian used was in the dragon Language and translates as. "By the will of the Gods, By the right of my Blood gifted to my Line by father Akatosh I sever the ties of this Goblet of Fire to its Human Bonds so says the Dragonborn so say the Gods."

Until next time.
