Mya and Draco went home and from there Mya floo'd back to work. She knew her escapades took longer than she'd hoped but was thankful she remembered to take precautions. Deciding to actually have some lunch, she and Draco sat down for a quick meal.
Back in her office after she had her fill, she opened a mind link between her and the clone. She could now see and hear everything it was doing. It appeared to have been ringing up a couple at the register. After the couple left, and there weren't any more patrons ready for check out, she sent a signal to the clone for it to come into the office. It was a little disconcerting to see oneself staring back at you and not through a mirror. Mya and her clone clasped hands and her creation started to fade from existence. Once the clone was completely gone, she exited her office and continued with her daily duties as if she had never left.
Picking up her post at the register, she was just in time to see a group of customers heading towards the counter. "Will that be all for you today?" Mya asked.
"Yes, ma'am," a teenager replied.
"Seven galleons is your total, here's your bag," Mya said taking the money and completing the transaction.
"Thank you," the girl said.
"Of course. Have a lovely day."
Mya continued with her work and began to make out a conversation two ladies were having further down the line as one of them picked up a newspaper. Apparently, the press had been ripping Dumbledore apart for losing track of a student according to the article. Continuing to listen, she gleaned much from the gossiping broads who read from the newspaper.
"Parents have been complaining and it looks like his reputation has been forever tarnished by his negligence," one of the ladies said.
"Rightfully so!" The other exclaimed.
"It also says that the ministry is questioning his ability to continue on as headmaster of Hogwarts, but who else is there for the job? That ole bat, McGonagall?" Both ladies broke out into a fit of giggles, causing Mya to smirk.
"'A hearing will be held to determine the fate of Albus Dumbledore's position with the school.'" One woman kept reading. "Wow, so glad I didn't send my children there."
"Me too, my little one isn't here yet but she will follow her brothers to a different country altogether for school." The taller one said as she approached the counter. "I mean, you can't really expect for everything to remain unchanged after what that old fool has allowed to happen..."
"I learned a lot during my time at work today, have you all seen the Daily Prophet? Dumbledore's reputation will never recover," Mya said.
"Not at all, especially with how the press has been portraying him," Draco said.
"How will you lure him out on the night of the full moon?" Narcissa asked smoothly guiding the conversation back to the task at hand.
"Well, I think it would be best for him to be alive for a little while longer. Just so he can feel the effects of everything we've done," Mya answered. "Besides, he'll want to be present to help Harry in the coming times. He won't be of much assistance but since those two are the only ones that know of what truly happened all those years ago, the fallout that will occur will rock the Order to its core."
"Looks like you're going to use two random people in the spell then," Lucius said with a smirk. "I know plenty of people who could be used."
Mya smiled. "Choose whomever you wish, Lucius. Other than that, everything we need for the spell has been accounted for. James' blood, the bones of Harry's parents and my essence, which will be available after two deaths. I did some more reading--
Draco cut her off with an exaggerated sigh.
"Hey!" She exclaimed with a laugh. "My bookish ways are not to be made fun of. Anyway, after some research, I found that the spell will be even more powerful if my blood is used in addition to the pieces of my soul."
"That's actually a great idea, Mya. The power of the full moon will add to the spell's potency as well," Severus added.
"The spell actually should take place at first light. But yes, the moon will still be visible therefore everything will run smoothly," she said with glee. "Will all of you be coming?"
"Yes, of course. We didn't come all this way for nothing," Narcissa said with a smile, which she returned.
"We must be ready then," Mya said. "I have a feeling that we need to expect the unexpected."
