What Case Does He Make???
Besides Poor Parenting???
Marvolo Had Stood On The Ministry Floor Before The Newly Reformed Wizengamot, Chaired By Kingsley Shacklebolt, Current Minister For Magic, and Marvolo's Adoptive Father. Yelling In Righteous Fury At The Attack On His Wedding. When He Felt His Rant Had Been Felt Enough, He Turned The Tables Slightly, Arguing That Aside From Poor Parenting Letting Darkness Enter A Young Mind Was The True Crime. He Demanded Students Be Given Better Preparation For Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. When Kingsley Asked What He Suggested They Do, Marvolo Had His Opportunity.
Calling For A School To Give Students Of All Forms Of Blood Status The Chance At Becoming Better Students For Themselves and Their Future Schools, He Demanded A Place For Younger Minds To Be Prepared For Their Wizarding Education At Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang. He Argued It Would Cultivate Students Before Their Education At Any Of The Three Schools, It Would Improve The Reputation Of The Schools and By Extension The Ministry. When He Finished, He Reminded Them They Owed Him and The Students They Had Prosecuted Unjustly, Because They Sat On Their ***** While Students Fought and Died For Injustice Caused Because Of Their Inaction. With That, He Had Left The Wizengamot Chamber, Purpose In His Steps.
Marvolo Was In The Middle Of Enjoying A Breakfast With His New Wives When An Owl Of A Previously Predicted Regal Nature Arrived. Taking Its Letter, He Was Pleased To See The Ministry For Magic's Symbolism On The Wax Seal. Opening It, He Found Great Satisfaction In What He Read.
Dear Marvolo Gaunt
Your Claims On Our and The Educational Institutions Of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang's Failures Have Been Noted and Discussed By The Wizengamot At Length. In Our Discussion We Find Your Claims Valid and Well-Merited. As Such, We Find Your Solution The Most Promising and Implore You To Show Us The Full Extent Of Your Vision. This Letter Signifies That The Wizengamot and Ministry Of Magic In Great Britain, France, and Sweden Pass Our Trust, Funding, and Faith In You.
We Eagerly Await Word From You As Soon As You Receive This Letter.
Yours Always In Faith
Kingsley Shacklebolt
Minister Of Magic Of Great Britain.
Closing The Letter, He Hands It To Daphne, Before Finishing His Breakfast and Tea. These Done, Marvolo Conjured His Thunderbird Feather Quill and His Parchment, and Begins Writing. Daphne Has At This Point Finished, Before She Hands It To Tracey. Daphne Was Already Employed At Gringotts Wizarding Bank As A Junior Curse-Breaker, She Was Unaware That Marvolo's Secret Gift To Her Was Her Hiring. Not Many People Were Aware, But The Gringotts's Goblins Had Such A Wand Up Their Butts About Hiring Wizards Or Witches With Cursed Bloodlines Or Any Thing Cursed Really. This Only Applied To Their Curse-Breakers Of Course, But Marvolo Had Promised That When He Had Gained Sufficient Influence, He Would Use That Precious Wizarding Political Capital To Attempt To Loosen Restrictions On Goblins. He Did However Sign A Contract With The Most Important Goblins, As A Means To Bind Him and His Actions To An Extent In Their Favour.
Marvolo Had Finished His Letter, and Read It Out In His Head.
Dear Minister Shacklebolt,
Thank You For Swiftly Answering My Calls For Changes, and My Proposition For A New School. I Have Long Aspired To Attain The Defence Against The Dark Arts, Head Of Slytherin House and Eventually Headmaster Positions At Hogwarts, As Your Well Aware. But Given Recent Times, I Sought A Means To Improve The Students General Composition. As A Result, I Feel No Better Person To Name This School After, Than Late Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. As A School, The Albus Dumbledore School Of Higher Learning In Witchcraft and Wizarding Will Not Be Headed By Me, Instead I Would Like To Propose Miss Ginervra Weasley As The Schools Inaugural Headmistress.
I Also Propose That After A Monumental Redesign and General Improvement, That Nurmengard Be The Site Of The New School. Aside From Being Already Built, The Castle Is Of Known Significance To Albus Dumbledore, Therefore, A Prime Site For The School. I Also Have Several Teachers Already In Mind For Schooling Positions. I Suggest Newton Scamander For The Role Of Care Of Magical Creatures Professor, Viktor Krum For Duelling Professor, Miss Fleur Delacour-Weasley For The Position Of Professor Of Charms, and Theodore Nott For The Post Of Transfiguration Professor. I Look Forward To Discussing This Further At Greater Length With You.
Yours,
Marvolo Corvus Cygnus Gaunt
Auror and Lord Of House Gaunt
Satisfied With His Letter He Seals It With His Own Seal, Which Was A Regal G With A Snake Emblazoned Beneath It. The Wax Seal Was Set, and Marvolo Placed It In The Ministry Owls Bag Before Letting It Return Back To The Ministry Marvolo Was Immeasurably Pleased, His Quest To Improve The Crop Of Students At Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts Was As Of Now A Minor If Not Major Success. He Had But One Final Matter To Attend To, Before His Quest Was Complete.
It Was A Simple Matter, Traveling To Nurmengard, Marvolo Had Recently Purchased The Castle and Most Of The Surrounding Area, By Muggle Standards He Was In Effect The Local Regions Governor. Accompanying Him Were Professor's Flitwick and Slughorn, Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk. He'd Tamed The Basilisk By Usurping Voldemort's Position As The Heir Salazar Slytherin. The Basilisks Bloodlust Was Curbed Only By Marvolo's Superior Willpower. The Basilisk Had Recently Laid A Clutch Of Eggs, Since It Was Nearing ****. Marvolo Spoke To All Twelve Eggs In Parseltongue, Using It To Impress An Unbreaking Loyalty To Marvolo Upon The Unborn Basilisks. But These Were Not The Only Dangerous Creatures He Had Managed To Tame, During The Tri-Wizard Tournament, Marvolo Had Managed To Tame The Hungarian Horntail He Faced In The Tournament. Naturally Ron's (Potentially) Dragon Fucker Brother Charlie Weasley Was Constantly Writing Him, Asking For Details and Advice On How To Tame The Dragons He Had Dedicated His Life To Studying Ever Since His Obsession Started. He hoped To Also Have The Basilisks Serve As The Schools Secret Defenders. The Serpent Of Slytherin Was Blinded, But No Less Deadly To Marvolo's Enemies.
"This Place Will Need A Major Overhaul, The Place Needs To Be Made More Habitable, The Castle Walls Need To Be Reinforced, and Additions Will Need To Be Made For Our New Purpose For The School I Seek To Establish. I Want To Thank You Both For Joining Me Here Professors." Says Marvolo Think Nothing Of It Marvolo, It's My Pleasure To Ensure The Legacy Of Albus Endures The Span Of Time." Says Slughorn. "Like Hogwarts This Place Will Have Houses, Houses I Have Already Chosen. Students Who Are Sent Here Will Be Given A Place In The Following Houses: House Snape is A Place Where Cunning, Intuition and Individuality is Prominent, House Slughorn is Where Brilliance, Ingenuity and and Passion Run Strong. House Aberforth and House McGonagall Are Where The Brave, Altruistic and Fearless Reside, and House Hagrid is Where the Kind, The Warm, and The Fierce Protectors Come into their Own. House Flitwick is For Those With Some Hidden Talent, and A Hidden Obstacle that Many see as a Hold Back. House Lupin is those Have A Crippling Weakness or Fear, But Face any obstacle Sent Their Way Irregardless. House Sirius Houses Those Who Have The Tenacity and Will to Endure Any and All Crucibles, All in The Attempt to Right Wrongs Done to Them and Others. But Greatest Of All, House Granger, Where The Truly Great and Talented Will Find Their Place." Says Marvolo Summing Up His Vision In Terms Of Sorting. "What Of The House Symbols?" Asks Slughorn. "Yes, I'm Wondering That Myself." Says Flitwick.
"House Snape Will Be Symbolised By A Doe, Befitting Professor Snape's Patronus and Love For Lily Potter-Evans. House Slughorn Will Be Heralded By Three Serpents, Befitting The Head Of Slytherin House. House Aberforth Will Be Symbolised By A Goat, and House McGonagall A Cat Since Aberforth Dumbledore Has A Goat Patronus, and Headmistress McGonagall Has The Animagus Form Of A Cat. House Hagrid Will Be Symbolised By A Giant, Since Hagrid Is A Half-Giant Himself, While Your Honored House Professor Flitwick Will Be A Goblin. House Lupin Will Be Heralded By A Werewolf, Since Professor Lupin Was Struck With Lycanthropy As A Child. House Sirius Will Be Represented By A Black Dog, and House Granger The Otter." Says Marvolo. "You've Put A Lot Of Detailed Thought Into This." Notes A Proud Professor Flitwick. "Of Course I Have, I Have Long Aspired To Hold The DADA Post, and Eventually Slytherin House Head and Headmaster, But Before That, I Hope To Improve The School's Foundations." Now Then Let Us Survey The Remaining Castle." Says Marvolo.
Marvolo Felt Fully Prepared To Face His Future, Now That The First Phase Of Plans Endgame Was In Effect. The Albus Dumbledore School Of Higher Learning In Witchcraft and Wizardry Was The Key Piece Of Phase One. All That Was Left Was To Draw Up A List Of Pure-Blood, Half-Blood, and Muggle-Born Children Below The Age Of Eleven With Magical Potential In France, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine, and England and Ireland. With That In Hand, They Could Acquire Students and Potential Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons Enrollments. He Selected Viktor Krum and Fleur Delacour-Weasley On More Than Just Favoritism, Both Were Quite Skilled, and Both Were Graduated Students Of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang Respectively. He Knew That It'd Take A Bit Of Convincing In Getting Ginny Agreeing To Be The School's First Headmistress, But He Had His Means Of Persuasion.
He Also Began The Long and Involved Process of Chronicling His Experiences As The Heir To The Single Greatest Opponent Of Muggles and Muggle-Borns, Being Sorted Into His Ancestral House, and Finding His Own Legacy To Leave Behind. He Had A Journal From His Schooling Days, He Knew Daphne Would Give Much To Read It's Contents, But She'd Have To Wait Until He Published The Book In It's Entirety. Marvolo Was Currently Seated In What Would Come To Be His Office With Any Luck. Marvolo Had Already Furnished The Office With Furniture and Other Luxuries Of His. A Great Red Oak Table, A Slytherin Banner, Portraits Of Snape, Dumbledore, Slughorn Kingsley, and Daphne and Tracey. He Also Had A Perch For His Thunderbird...............
