It took me some time, for writing 13,000 words is not done in a single day (at least I've yet to hear of a single fanfic writer who manages the feat, I think) but the chapter 112's writing is officially over.

This will be the monthly update for this November of The odds were never in my favour.

There's a lot of politics...and violence, because let's be honest, the turmoil was never going to end peacefully, not in the Wizarding world, and not after recent events.

Anyway, the title is Victorious, for reasons which will be very evident once you will have read the chapter (evil grin).

Enjoy!

Odd, despite being a member, this was locked until I selected membership again. Very strange.

I think this is only the second Harry Potter fanfic that I remember making use of Oliver Cromwell. And Her Mother's Love (the other fic) is at least semi-dead at the moment and becoming the Lady Protector was more of Lily's ambition rather than Hazel's (Fem Harry).

Awesome chapter, thanks! I don’t think Alexandra should have killed those two council members just for interrupting her though. Seems like something a tyrant would do. She should have just placed a silencing curse on them or something. Killing them outside of self defense should weaken her position and give ammunition to the Light. Also I’m curious as to what happened to the Dutch Aurors!

Yeah, killing the two Wizemgot members seems short-sighted. While the need to make an example of them to make her position clear, it seems...counter to the rest of her careful maneuvering. A silencing spell might have been to lenient, after all if there are no consequences, nobody is going to fear her, but killing them was to much the other way. I'm unsure what she could have done to give the required message, though. That said, it was a great chapter, and Alex is now basically in charge of a micro-nation. It's a start. Hmm, and now she has the power and clout to talk to the Dragon in Hogwarts...which is going to piss Dumbledore of even more, but he should have thought about that before sticking his head into a noose. Yay for Alex not killing Tonks though.

I remember when she was asking herself when the blood on her hands would stop bothering her, unfortunately I think we finally got there or is there more to the story ? Because if it's the former, even if I don't like it, that's pretty understandable because there's a lot of shit dumping on her and I guess even her can break right ? I mean when you look at it from the beginning, the Dursley episode don't break her like canon Harry (because yeah no matter how I look at it Harry is a submissive, love deprived and suicidal boy from beginning to end and some people say Dumbledore is a good man ...) she just learn how to survive and how to be strong. That's what help her when she arrived at Hogwarts and I really don't want to imagine what would have happened to her if it was not the case. After that she was just striving to become more and more stronger to take on anything that could arrive to her and everybody here know that the odds were never in her favor ^^. And with that power more and more responsability too and more and more killing because that's that or die. Now she is 14 yo and she has to be lady protector of the isles. In short she didn't have any real break from the beginning and now maybe that's too much ? No matter how I look at it these 2 kills were too much and with what's going on now is not the time to how a breakdown. But somehow it is also precisely the best moment to break and overcome it in order to not become what she feared to become all this time and become stronger. She really need her mother and her friends and a reality check before it's too late. What do you think about it ?

The 2 guys Alexandra killed, they wouldn't happen to be, purely coincidentially, Dumbledores people in the Hogwarts board of Gouverneurs? That would make her actions perfectly reasonable, because it means Dumbledore can now be dismissed as Headmaster, which will remove him from his seat of power.

Question for the author, now that Alexandra cornered Dumbledore to stay at Hogwarts, when is she going to "RELEASE THE DRAGON" to explode and give him heart attack further?

So I really enjoyed the chapter and seeing Alexandria take over as Lady Protector and am looking forward to seeing more ramifications from the fall of the Statute. Also, I did just see that this chapter existed and could not view it until I adjusted my tier, so I do not know what is going on with that at all.

I find it hilarious that people are trying to argue that killing the opposition is wrong lmao, esp when in all of Antony's stories it the tales of those times are all about killing your enemies and esp in IRL history. As far as I am concerned, Alexandra has been extremely gentle. She really could have slaughtered the entirety of her opposition, all the dumbledore aligned light houses, all the houses that served Voldemort short lived 2nd wind, etc to the very last man woman and child. For the Empress of Mankind, death to her foes. Unification Wars 2.0 Dumbledore must have gone completely senile to have tried this most recent intervention. You'd think that after having been given defeat after defeat it would be time to retreat. But nope, full frontal assault instead of an ambush. Makes complete sense for an Orc though. Waaagh! The Order of the Phoenix seems to heading toward extinction. They are so few in number I wonder how the hell Voldemort failed so hard to kill them all when they are such fools, at their max prob only numbered at max like 100-200. He really should have gone into exile and built either a very hidden bunker or a fortress to make his last stand and go out in style like Saruman before all the enemies he made, esp those in the exchequer like his dear sis come for his ass since RA #1 most wanted dead has been slayed. It is time for #2.

I also wonder about Alexandra's decision to openly murder a couple of the Lords of the Wizemgot. It makes a point yes, but one of the points it makes is that she is abandoning the Rule of Law, even if her allies have given advance approval for it (and from their lack of reaction they seem to have) I still expect it to cause a lot of long-term problems. My best explanation is they were members of the Light she could never work with and since she is planning on creating an entirely new government and law for Magical Britain respecting the existing one doesn't give the usual benefits. It will be interesting to see what effects this has going forward. It would also be interesting to know what happened back in 1945-46 when Dumbledore was just starting as Supreme Mugwump and someone pulled a wand in the Wizemgot, it was mentioned once that no one had dared do that since then.

Nicholas

On further reflection I think Alexandra murdering those two Lords is the right move for the story. It brings several threads to a climax, makes a couple of points that need to be made very explicitly, and sets up a number of conflicts to come. Of the noteworthy threads: others have already mentioned Alexandra's gradual acceptance of her role as Morrigan's killer. We have repeatedly seen that Magical Britian did not have the rule of law but instead the powerful (mostly Dumbledore and the Light in the past) could do what they will now the Dark is powerful and acting as we would expect based on the culture we have seen. We have also repeatedly seen that the Wizingmot is not constrained by law but makes law, everything else is just using the Wizingmot's rulings as precedents, this is why law is such a mess, the Wizingmot's rulings aren't consistent. It is perfectly in line with this for the Wizingmot installing a dictator under threat to be fine. Of the important points: the largest is that Alexandra's coming to power is a coup, not an act of law. The readers need to know this and since she is keeping forms (and the attack on Dumbledore feels justified even though it is not) hitting the readers over the head with the violence is necessary. Of the conflicts to come: this is blatantly incompatible with the way the non-magical world works and this is going to play out once the non-magical world gets its feet under it enough to figure out roughly what the power balance is. Because whatever the balance is the non-magical world will try and use the power it has to push things the way it wants. All of these points are better made explicitly here then left implicit.

It's not a coup but rather a relatively peaceful transition of power from the light/Dumbledore Tyranny faction who lost all control over the keys to power or rather the old keys have become nearly useless and ineffective to Alexandra who have the backing support of the new keys to power (terms from Rules for rulers on Youtube). And the attacks on Dumbledore is completely justified, who in this chapter tried a terrorist assassination plot in basically the senate (Yoda style against Sidious trying to achieve something like the assassination on Julius Caesar) except he didn't have the support of the "senators" except the few remaining useless bootlickers. Magical Britain has not been nation of laws for a very long time, but rather a crumbling patchwork of corruption with rules for the peasants but not for the ruling class. They are lucky they aren't a conventional country otherwise they would have long had their shit pushed in by a stronger nation without these problems and the "peasants" would welcome them as liberators. Honestly, Magical Britain is very lucky that Alexandra cares enough to try to fix it. She really could have abandoned the rotten sinking ship, take all of her stuff and join Exchequer with a strong likelihood of rising to the top/King, and hand Britain over to this organization who would use a far firmer hand so she could focus all of her time on training to prevent the apocalypse. Besides her friends and her stuff there's not a lot of attachment holding Alexandra to Britain besides the fact she was kinda stuck there in her youth and only recently could move to places that had people who shared more of her values. Also I think that this so called Queen of Britain and the minister is far too arrogant when speaking to the Champion of Death Incarnate on exactly who should be kneeling to who here. In the wise words of Percy Kairos Jackson, "Why, you begin a pleasant conversation with the exquisite politeness due to a being that is above you in the food chain." Against the common weak British wizard and witch, a conventional military can slay them with some difficulty but completely useless against someone of Alexandra's might who might as well be superman in how little time it would take to kill them all herself, at most a week with extreme generosity, the long and difficult part would be to create a functional new government, something dear Saint Taylor can relate too. If only Antony was even bolder in the Odds, assuming Alex defeats Apophis, the entire political landscape would be very foreign to the readers instead of bothering on keeping the common current countries. It is time to unleash the Unification Wars, Conquer Earth, become the Empress of Mankind and lead the humans and the magical races to the stars as a space faring magical nation. We only need Custodes and an army of Space Marines and we are golden. I suppose the Champions of Magic are kind of like Primarchs as Demigods. XD

The thing is Dumbledore did not try an assassination. If he was trying to kill Alexandra he would have approached things very differently. This looks more like an effort to exert power by his presence. It failed because Alexandra had prepared to ambush his supporters if he showed up. If Dumbledore had been trying an assassination he would have come in alone and ready to duel.

I didn't get the initial email notice for this update, but I did get your most recent one, so hopefully things are fixed. :) Very good chapter, though Alexandra has only just started dealing with the various problems and fallout of what happened. Hopefully she'll be able to manage. Take care, good luck, stay safe, and stay healthy.

Matt.Silver

An excellent chapter. Thank you for writing Minor nitpick though, couldn't Madeye's eye see through invisibility cloaks? specifically the Potter cloak? Or was Bellatrix using Alexandra's newly upgraded cloak?
