Plotting

Jess sighed, sick of this idiotic argument. "What you don't seem to understand Mariana," he said, an annoyed look on his face, "Is that she is in control. Sure, Dae is technically minister, but when he returns from his holidays, he wont get his job back. She is in full control as it is now. You guys are treating her as asome sort of saint, but she's put 1000 dementors into Hogwarts. That's a ratio of 3 dementors for every one student, which is both dangerous, and unstable. She will be lucky to be allowed to stay in the ministry after what she's done." He said strongly, looking at the people who were trying to start arguments. "Yes, the order was founded to defend teh magical community, and that is what we will be doing. The ministry is clearly unstable, and is using its resources to endanger the way of life you people enjoy. Mari, arthur, will you enjoy going back to hogwarts, and having Dementors looming around all the time? Will anyone enjoy the dementors which will be infesting london?" He asked them, before turning to his final point. "And i never said we were destroying the ministry, i have already said the plan is to take over, and restore balance, A.K.A. conquering," He said

''No Jess, I do have an idea. Let us slaughter the whole lot. Gabrielle, Diggory, everyone. That way, we would be sure that the Ministry is... so to say, purified. I do agree, we should slaughter them all.'', Wilson said with an innocent voice, although his sarcasm was more than apparent. ''And do remember, there are two of us in Hogwarts, which gives the students some protection, don't you think?'', he added.

Mariana looked rather annoyed. "I agree with Wilson for the first time.Half of the ministry is corrupted so let's kill the entire ministry staff!They didn't choose a side and prefered being neutral so that makes them guilty!" she said with a grin between sarcastic and furious tone. "And let's get this streight.Gabrielle doesn't have everything under control.If she had she would demote Majere who was breaking her authority since the beggining.She CAN'T do anything major without autorization of my cousin and no one knows where he is." she said as she got back to her more civilized tone. "She put dementors only at entrances of Hogwarts and at Hogsmeade.It's the only way she could control a bit more Hogwarts now when she left her Professor position.I agree she is not a saint,but neither of us is better then her in that matter.And besides she is expirienced Auror since who knows how many years ago.And i am sorry if i am mistaken,but the only ones who actually agree on removing her from the office are you,Matt and Ne'Os." she finished.At least no one could accuse her she was working for personal reasons since in that case she would have been defending her cousin and not Gabrielle.

"James forgive me but you bieng there with 1000 dementors offers no protection at all two order member teachers is nothing in the grand scale." he said "and Mari why are you defending this so much we cant allow this corruption to continue."

Mariana looked as Ne'Os spoke up. "Because my cousin is a corrupted one not Gabrielle.If she called for dementors was because she needs to regain authority over Majere.And besides we are working with the same objecitve only Gabrielle and some other ministry officals are not on anyone's side so they don't either help us or death eaters.And this is not a crime.Correct me if i am mistaken." she replied with a perfectly examined each word she was going to say.

"And why are you so for demoting her?What do you get from it?Have you considered what will the press and the magical community say on this?Order was made for deffencive purposes not for taking the control." she replied not dropping this.

Jess looked at Mari and shook his head, god she was annoying him. "Mariana," he said, "This is happening, with or without your cooperation." He told her. "The ministry was made to lead the world, they aren't doing their job, so we'll do it for them. No, i do not want to slaughter the ministry, don't be stupid, however, if they oppose us, they are our enemies, and need to be killed, or captured, preferably the latter. You say that she only has them at the gates, but as Ne'os pointed out, 1000 dementors is way, way too many for just the gates, they will feed on the stray student, they are a danger, and it will have outstanding psychological damage on the students," he told Mariana. "Are you sure that you want to live with 1000; dementors surrounding you constantly?" He asked her, looking at her with surprise

Mariana looked even more annoyed at Jess though she was good at covering it up. "Don't get me wrong.I will cooperate even if i don't like it.But i am in my full right to question you if i don't agree on some things with you.And i am trully sorry i am trying to distinguish us from the Death Eaters.That's their ways.Either you are with me or you are my enemy am i right?" she asked observing Jess. "And if i didn't know you any better i would say that either someone put imperius curse over you or that you lost your common sense along with your memory." she said dropping Gabrielle topic for a couple of golden moments.

"If she did what she did she surely had a reason.And instead of judging her you should have at least give her a chance to speak before you do.I would put you on her place for one week and see how would you handle the situation.Majere breaking your authority and you not having power to do anything about it.Jeez that would be a show..." she said as she rooled her eyes hoping that some order member would give her reason.

"You mean like you are?" he asked, looking at mari with a steely look. "The Ministry cannot be trusted, they are our enemies, all things aside, surely you can see that. Surely it afects you in some way at school?" he asked, shaking his head a bit. "If you were a half breed, chances are you'd be dead by now," he said, hoping she understood. "Look at Ne'Os here, his wife child, and himself had attempts made on their lives. You should stop looking at it as a matter of 'There is one good person in the ministry, the whole thing must be perfect, lets just leave it.' And realise it's more of a 'One pinpoint of light in darkness is still called darkness." he told her

Khaat came back downstairs to refill her cup and found everyone still arguing in the kitchen. Mari seemed to be the last holdout and they were still trying to win her over. "Oh for goodness sake," Khaat sighed, "Are we still stuck here? Mari, let me ask you something, I can see you perhaps standing up for what's right, and feeling sorry for Gabrielle, but I thought we already agreed we didn't have harming her on our agenda. So, what then is your real investment in this? Why are you fighting so hard against a whole roomful of seasoned, experienced wizards in this? We seem to all agree except you. What's your real invenstment in this whole situation?

Mariana looked rather annoyed though she decided to drop it. "Actually the only person i am arguing with is Jess.And there is a lot of ways to "harm" someone.You don't have to harm her phisiclly to destroy her career you know?Actually you won't harm her career since she was a law enforcers before i was even born and she still has support in other countries.Ofcourse in Britain is different because we have Order of the Phoenix who wants to overthrow the ministry without thinking of consequences.And no dementors don't disturb me.I prefer to look at them then see how Majere takes over the school without doing anything to stop it.And i see that Wilson agrees with me though he sees it as an attempt of inmature child that lived in the clouds her whole life." she said not directly mentioning Gabrielle anymore though it was clear she was the one she spoke about. "Regarding to me i am done here.So when do we slay every single ministry offical?I hope it's going to soon before my concience stops me.." she said using the most sarcastic tone she ever used not sure how is she capable of it.
