“You know, I’m impressed,” Sakura informed the rather large, toad-like woman in the horrendous pink dress as they waited for Potter and the Pharaoh to come through the floo so they could head to England, “Considering your Ministry’s stance on magical creatures, I didn’t think a toad demon would make it so far up the ranks.”
“I beg your pardon?” Umbridge demanded of the Japanese woman, scowling. She didn’t want to be here and she hadn’t really been paying attention to what the Speaker’s bodyguard had been saying, but she had heard something about a toad demon.
“I was just congratulating you,” The half kitsune replied, un-phased by the scowl. “I mean your Ministry is ridiculously strict about magical creatures, I mean my mum and Akane can’t even go over there. So it’s really impressive that a toad demon like you has... how did you go that shade of red?”
Umbridge didn’t really care what shade of red she was turning. The little half breed waste of space had dared to accuse her of being a toad demon!
“I am not a demon!” The woman drew her wand, causing the hanyo to backup slightly, even as she mentally smirked at getting a reaction. “I am a pureblood witch! Not some disgusting abomination!”
“What did you say?” Sakura bristled. If she had been in fox form, her fur would have been up on end.
“Half breeds like yourself aren’t fit for Ministry work.” The pureblood English witch continued threatening, not noticing the wary look on the Minister of Magic’s face and the frustrated one on the Speaker’s. “You should stay where you belong.”
“Oh?” Lotus’s daughter snarled, will-o-wisps beginning to form in the air in her rage, “And where’s that?”
“In the...” Delores was cut off by Amanda in midsentence, the higher ranked secretary stepping between the hanyo and the witch before there could be any more of an international incident than there was.
“Delores, that’s enough.” The younger, but more respected, secretary told the elder. “It was a simple mistake.”
Umbridge just glowered at her. She wouldn’t think it was a ‘simple mistake’ if it had been her. Not that the mudblood could understand what an insult she had just received.
“No, I want to hear exactly where I ‘belong’.” The hanyo continued to growl and glare. “That jumped up toad was about to tell me.”
“Sakura.” The Speaker for Magical Japan tried, not very hard though. As much as he wanted to avoid an international incident, he also didn’t want to the half kitsune’s wrath to turn on him. Sakura had already proved that her curses were just as potent as her mother’s, it was part of the reason she was his bodyguard.
“You belong,” Umbridge shoved Amanda aside, looking furious, “In the gutter with the rest of the trash, or better yet, put down, like the vermin you are.”
“How dare you?” Sakura lost control of her form and shifted into her true one, a huge white fox with three tails, “How dare you suggest that all hanyos should be put down!?”
“A...” Delores didn’t get to finish her spell before not only Amanda cast a stunner at her, but the huge blonde male, who had come through the floo first had drawn his wand and cast one too.
“Are we interrupting something?” The Pharaoh didn’t look pleased at the scene they had come through to.
“No.” The Speaker shook his head, frustrated. He had expected something to go wrong, but he hadn’t thought it would happen this early.
