The vampire Nundu gave the folded newspaper to his partner. Kai unfurled the paper and peered at the many small headlines on it and started to read it. He was reading at the pace of a quick human as he was still adapting to his newly awoken body.

There were only a few headlines that caught the vampire lord's attention, the first was one that announced the results of Harry's trial. The second was related to the supposed appearance of a Lethifold- a dangerous A class dark creature that was said to rival and, in some cases, trump the Dementors. It was written that Harry Potter said that he was attacked by a Leithold during one of his visits to London.

The third and final subject that caught Kai's attention was a small announcement at the very bottom of the front page. The announcement revealed that there was a new care of magical beasts professor needed to teach for the first half of the year.

Originally Grubly-Plank was meant to teach during Hagrid's visit to the Giants in mountains, but as he was approaching one of the Court's more secretive settlements full of B class magical beasts that included Giants he was unable to teach that year. Bob had told Kai that the half-giant was on his way to make sure that the Court's branch didn't join the fake blood lord.

The fake had disclosed the fact that he was going to get the magical beasts help and the order of the Phoenix had heard of it. The fake blood lord had chosen this specific branch as they had announced that they were loyal to the Blood Lord. While most of the wizarding world assumed they were talking about the fake, the high ranking members knew that they were talking about the true Blood Lord- Kai.

Kai remembered that that specific branch was given a runic circle created by him when he was practising magic. It appeared that it had protected them from the memory changes the rest of the world had experienced. Hagrid had nominated himself to go to persuade the Court's magical beasts to join Dumbledore's side or at least stay neutral. At least that was what Mundungus Fletcher had reported, he was the Court's spy in the Order of the Phoenix.

The job had sparked Kai's interest as it had caused him to have an alternate way to get close to Harry, without alarming him. He could get close to Harry in many ways as a teacher such as giving him detention or giving him private lessons. He decided to do attempt to go to the interview immediately and would take the job interview with the board of governors.

He couldn't risk going to Dumbledore as there was a high chance that he wouldn't allow Kai to take the job and perhaps even attack him. This would automatically cause him to lose a good chance to earn Harry's trust or even lose it completely as currently, he was Dumbledore's puppet.

Kai was sure that the Headmaster of Hogwarts wouldn't‎ allow him to step through the doors of the school. This was because he was a vampire and automatically considered a "dark" creature. However, the main reason was that he would be able to show Harry that not all vampires were evil as the heralded greatest wizard in wizarding history would like him to believe.

Kai would get Tom to give him an identity that was stored in the court just for these types of occasions. All that would be required would be a few changes such as names species etc. The main part would be that he was a 10-star member and that he had fought during the two wars the court had faced.

The vampire lord assumed that he knew more about magical creatures than any other wizard in the world due to his vast "experience" with them.

Although this "experience" was mainly killing them and fighting them, it allowed him to know all of their weaknesses and soft spots. He would also be able to teach them the curriculum that could actually help them instead of the rather unique things that Hagrid taught.

He would use his experience on the battlefield, as well as his new identity to convince the governors to let him into the school as a professor and if that didn't work then he would use some other more interesting means to help convince them.

This identity would give him the right tools as well as a way for the students to worship or at least admire him. He turned to the pages where the trial of Harry Potter was located and started reading.

Harry Potter accused of underaged magic?

Rita Skeeter

At the hour 8:00 AM in the morning young Harry Potter's trial for his underaged magic usage began. However the boy who lived only arrived 5 minutes after its start, according to him minister Fudge sent a letter to his residence a mere few hours before the hearing and therefore didn't reach him on time. The only reason he arrived according to him was because of sheer luck.

He was bombarded with questions by the senior undersecretary to the minister of magic Mrs Delores Umbridge alongside the minister of magic Cornelius Fudge for the next few minutes, without receiving a chance to defend himself.

It was only after his defendant Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore who serves as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot and the Headmaster of Hogwarts school of witchcraft of wizardry, arrived did the Minister and his undersecretary stop questioning Mr Potter.

The headmaster of Hogwarts was fuming at the fact that the trial had started without Harry's defendant who incidentally was the headmaster himself. After he arrived, he managed to defend the claims and serious accusations that were thrown at the boy who lived.

The main claim that the minister used against the defendant was the use of magic in front of a muggle, the other major accusation was the use of underage magic. Minister Fudge pushed for Mr. Potter's wand to be snapped, along with Undersecretary Umbridge.

The defendant stated that young Harry was merely defending himself against a Lethifold, which had attacked both him and his cousin when they were returning from London. The minister denied these claims but after the headmaster of Hogwarts brought in a witness in the form of a squib named Arabella Figg. She had by coincidence come to London to visit her granddaughter and when she was returning home she saw the two boys.

The witness described that while couldn't exactly see what was going on, she did see I quote "a big, smoky, black cloth that was releasing a terrible and terrifying feeling." Then the defendant said that Mr Potter released a Patronus, (for our readers that are unaware of what the spell is, the Patronus is a conjured spirit animal created from positive memories that stop Dementors and Leitholds) in the form of a stag that caused the Lethifold to escape.

Minister Fudge tried to have young Harry's wand taken on the grounds of exposing magic to a muggle but Headmaster Dumbledore stopped the Minister with Clause Seven of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery, which was judged by the Wizengamot and was decreed reasonable enough for young Harry to defend himself and his cousin.

Then Undersecretary Umbridge used the accusation of underage magic against the hero of the wizarding world on the basis of the use of the engorgement charm against his muggle aunt Marge 3 years ago.

But much to her dismay the accusation was stopped once again by headmaster Dumbledore who defended young Harry by saying that the ministry had already proven that the user of said charm was an unrelated house elf.

Thus, Harry Potter was proven innocent. This reporter believes that the boy who lived deserves respect for all he has done for the wizarding world and not the biased accusations of our minister. Once again this reporter is doing her job to report the truth and only the truth.

Once Kai read Rita's report he was fuming, as he knew that while there were some untruthful parts in it most of it was true. After all, there was more juicy material to write about the ministry as a whole instead of one boy and therefore she should give the truth as that meant that the ministry came out in a bad light.

But a Lethifold, he wondered how the fake managed to control a Lethifold as they were said to be uncontrollable. This was because they were mindless beings that sought to devour humans. There still wasn't a known reason for this occurrence but some theorized that the Lethifolds were once human souls that experienced some dark ritual.

But it would seem that Kai needed to push in a meeting with the vampire that was assuming his identity. He had to get rid of the trash and interrogate him about the ally who is manipulating these events.
