Disclaimer: I don't own H.P. I own my plot spells and characters.

AN: First of all I'd like to apologize for the long wait. I would also like to ask for a brief moment of silence for Kurogane, my previous laptop who died on June 23rd after flying out a third floor window in my house when my dog tripped me. Earlier today I received the final parts to construct my new laptop, Támashiihá. May she serve me long and well. As for my story 'The Duel' it will be some time before I post it as I will have to rewrite it, as I do not yet know if Kurogane's hard drive can be saved and haven't had a chance to check.

Albus Dumbledore was sitting in the head table at the great hall of Hogwarts looking every day of his 186 years of age. Hogwarts had become the meeting place of the Order of the Phoenix since the destruction of London, which caused the destruction of the Ministry of Magic and the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix in Twelve Grimmauld Place. Out of all the workers in the Ministry of Magic only six had survived, Arthur Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks, and Kingsley Shacklebolt as they had all been in Order Bussiness at the time. The other three had been Amelia Bones and two junior clerks. Apart from them the entire group of Unspeakables had survived having left the ministry upon feeling the great surge of energy. Of course no one knew they had escaped as they informed no one and had not reappeared since. At the same time half the Order had been destroyed having had no warning of the attack.

"Professor! Professor Dumbledore! I have news of Lon…." The young witch with the neon green hair started to say but was interrupted when she tripped and fell face first on the floor.

"Ah, Nymphadora, please I've told you many times, call me Albus. And what news do you bring?" Asked Dumbledore with a slight twinkle back in his blue eyes.

"Pro-Albus don't call me that. And we've obtained a few muggle satellite pictures of the Ruins of London." She started saying but was interrupted by a cold uncaring voice that had just come in through a side door. "What is this muggle salilite?" Looking to the side they saw Snape, Mcgonagal, Mr. Weasley and a few others make their way in.

"Well, Snivellus, a satellite is a big metal muggle thing that takes pictures from where it floats in space.and as I was saying the smoke covering London in thin enough for them to be able to see through it. The whole of London is destroyed. Only one building is standing and it's not one the muggles have seen before, it appeared after the destruction of the city." Tonks said giving the pictures in her hand to Dumbledore.

After a few minutes of looking at the pictures he said just one word, "Gringotts."

"Severus, has Voldemort said what spell he used to destroy the city? For I must admit that I have never heard of magic with such a destruction capability." Dumbledore asked while losing the twinkle in his eyes once more.

"It wasn't a spell, Albus." Tonks said and once everyone looked at her she continued, "it was a muggle atomic bomb. And it wasn't the only one."

"Stupid girl! Of course it was the Dark Lord, muggles don't have any magic to do such destruction." Snape said with obvious loathing aimed at the young auror.

"Severus please. Nymphadora explain, what is this atomic bomb?" Dumbledore asked with great curiosity and trepidation.

"It's muggle technology, it creates a big explosion destroying everything in its path in a very large area. and if anything survives the initial blast they will not survive long because once it explodes it releases an energy that muggles call radiation that kills very slowly but painfully. This energy is said to remain in the area for thousands of years. At least that's how they worked 50 years ago when they first invented them, they are most likely far more powerful now."

"You want me to believe that muggles have had this sort of destructive power for half a century and they still have not blown each other up?" Snape asked in a disbelieving voice.

"ALBUS! Wasn't it 50 years ago that the Daily Prophet had that article about the two Japanese cities that blew up , and that experts all over the world didn't know what magic had been used?" Minerva asked.

"Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we learned about it in muggle school. But that isn't the worst part, London wasn't the only place attacked. According to the muggles 58 major cities around the world got destroyed, no one knows who attacked who but it's pandemonium in the whole world.

AN: I'm sorry about the short chapter but I just really wanted to get something out before I am killed. This chapter was originally longer but it's lost in Kurogane's hdd. I will answer any questions in the reviews of last chapter when I repost this chapter in a few days without all the errors that I am sure it has, and quite a bit longer. I once more apologize for the long wait. My next update will be after I finish reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Which should be either the day it arrives or the day after, depending at what time I receive it as it is pre-ordered and coming through mail.

Please review.
