NEW STORY!
Harry glance up from his desk, seeing his co-worker Daphne Greengrass wander into the room. "Hey Harry, any activity on this end?" She asked. She jerked her thumb at the arch behind her, as Harry shook his head. "No Daphne, although shouldn't you be up directing the DMLE?" The Director of the Department of Mysteries asked the Director of the DMLE. Daphne groaned, then muttered something about workaholic men, and left the room. He yelled a quick "See you later." out the door, as she yelled a few insults back. He grinned as the fiery slytherin left, always happy when he managed to get a rise out of her. He was about to continue with his work, when he felt a vibration in pocket.
He grabbed the mirror from his pocket, and saw Luna staring at him from the sonfines of the mirror. He was about to make a comment, when he saw the worried look on her face. "What is it? What's happened?" He asked, all humor leaving his voice. She seemed relieved he answered, before launching into an explanation. "Neville was found dead in the middle of Diagon 20 minutes ago, and Ron was impaled on the gates of Hogwarts. The rest of the DA have not responded to any calls, so I assumed the worst!" She said, as she glanced behind her. Harry heard a crash, as she dropped the mirror, when he heard her yell the passcode for the secret portkey he had given her that bypassed ministry wards, and she landed in his arms. She quickly grabbed his mirror, and called Hermione on it. The Headmistress of Hogwarts answered, her voice in full administrative mode, as Harry called it, when Luna yelled into the mirror, "HERMIONE ACTIVATE YOUR DAMNED PORTKEY TO HARRY RIGHT NOW!" Hermione stared dumbly at the blonde for a second, before rushing into action, and grabbing a necklace around her neck. Sh ecast a quick spell, as her entire office flew into a trunk under her desk prepared for stuff like this, as her stuff flew out of her quarters. The padlock had just shut on the trunk when there was an explosion. Hermione grabbed the trunk, and appeared beside them a few seconds later, as the last thing they saw was fire wash over where Hermione was.
Harry helped her up, as she shot an aguamenti at the edges of her robes. She saw the terrified face of Luna and the confused face of Harry. She was about to speak, when Luna cut her off, delivering the same explanation to her that she gave Harry. Harry touched her arm, whispering in her ear, before apparating away. He reappeared at his house, and ran inside, activating pre-placed runes. Every item in the house immediately began to pack into a multi-compartment and expanded trunk that slid out of the wall. Two minutes later, Harry disapparated from his house and back to Luna and Hermione. He placed his stuff near Hermione's, and the trio took a quick portkey to Luna's house.
Harry immediately rushed forward, the girls right behind him. The male of the group ran to the door of the Rookery, Luna's childhood home, and ran threw the destroyed door. He saw 4 wizards searching for something, and quickly fired off 4 stunners. He activated the runes in Luna's house, her stuff packing itself at an exponential rate. He levitated the men outside, and bound them with rope and a petrificus totalus. He ennervate'd one of them, as he began to sputter when he saw his captors. Harry threw off his hood, noticing with barely disguised malice that it was Draco Malfoy, and quickly removed the hoods of the other three. He frowned when he saw Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, and Pansy Parkinson. He quickly cast a blood-boiling curse on the other three, terrifying Draco. He then whirled onto the snobbish pureblood, his wand appearing under his chin. Harry evenly said, "Now Malfoy, now that your associates have been occupied, care to tell me what you were doing here, or would you prefer to join them? I hear it's quite painful."
Draco glanced fearfully at the three now awake prisoners who didn't move an inch but their eyes said it all. They looked hopeless, tears streaming down their faces, before Draco turning back to Harry. "The Dark Lord has ordered your execution!" He said, attempting to adopt a snobbish tone, but failing horribly. Harry sighed, before glancing at Draco, and delving deep into the idiot's mind. Normally, Harry ould be careful not to cause too much pain, but Harry was angry. He ripped Draco's pitiful occlumency shields to shreds, leaving them in ruins. He saw Draco vowing before some new and powerful Dark Lord that called himself Lord Ignis Domini. He delved further, discovering he was a powerful fire elementalist, and claimed to of found the darkest of magics in the tomb of Morgana Le Fay, the first Dark Lady. H had made his first order known, however. To eliminate the defeater of Voldemort, from who Ignis Domini had learned much of his dark arts knowledge.
Harry sighed, leaving the ferret's mind, before firing another blood-boiling curse at him. he quickly apparated to the ministry, Hermione and Luna following after he informed them of where he was going, and arrived at his office. The two girls arrived in a heap on the floor, with Hermione muttering about defective portkeys. Harry took his necklace off, tapping the charm on it, then dropping it. It expanded into a massive chest, where he dropped all of their stuff into it. He was of the opinion, as of now, that whoever invented espansion charsm should be givena medal. He hit the runes in his office, as all of his personal effects threw themselves into his trunk. he also hit another rune he had sworn never to use unless the need was dire, and heard an alarm go off.
Personally, Harry judged hundreds, if not thousands of wizards on their way to kill him as an emergency. Harry hit the corresponding rune, locking all of the doors and wondows in the entire ministry for 10 minutes. He had done that as a failsafe so he could do what he was doing now. Every door now had enough defense to withstand a small bomb, and enough locking runes, spells, and wards to stop Dumbledore at the height of his power. Harry soon saw the 3 dozen legal timeturners in the whole of Britain fly into his trunk, followed swiftly by dozens of Dark artifacts he had found, confiscated, or other ministry employees confiscated. Harry grabbed one timeturner, grabbing Hermione and Luna, and went back 3 hours, when he knew he wasn't in his office, and apparated all three of them to Diagon alley.
Hermione was still gaping at him from his show in the ministry, as Luna took it all in stride. Harry quickly rushed them to Gringotts, and the three of them went down to all of their vaults. Hermione emptied hers completely first, as the goblin in the cart gaped as she told him to close her vault when she left the bank. He cringed in horror when Luna did the same thing, even removing various priceless artifacts from ancient seers in Luna's family. The goblin gulped, before nearly having a heart attack when Harry went to the Gryffindor, Slytherin, Potter, Hufflepuff, Riddle, Ravenclaw, Black, Dumbledore, and Gaunt vaults. When his superiors found out about this, they would behead him on the spot.
Harry had been left the Black and Dumbledore vaults by their last owners, Albus and Sirius, while he had gained the Slytherin, Riddle, and Gaunt vaults through rite of conquest. He had acquired the Hufflepuff vaults when he was left it by the last surviving member of the hufflepuff bloodline, Hannah Abbot. Who had died in their first year of working in the department of mysteries when a dark wizard attacked them on a mission. They had been dating for a while, and he had taken her aside, their shift almost over, and just given her the ring that brought their relationship to the next level. Then a dark wizard had popped up out of nowhere, a reducto ending Hannah's life. Harry had sat there, her blood on him, before rage took over. The rest of the department never found the other half of the man. As it is, they barely found the first bit. Harry had been on probation for 6 months because of that brutal altercation.
They had both named each other in their wills once they realized how dangerous their new occupation was when Susan Bones had died on a mission to retrieve a level 7 dark artifact from knockturn alley. He had discovered, when he claimed his inheritance at Gringotts, that the son of Rowena Ravenclaw, and the daughter of Godric Gryffindor had settled down, and to avoid their parents enemies, had taken up the name 'Potter'. They had settled down and began a village they had named 'Godric's Hollow', and they had been the Potter family every since.
Harry took the other two into Knockturn Alley, further than either of them had been before, until they came across an innocent looking book store. Harry led them inside, where the two girls saw the towering piles of books. Harry reached up, hitting a rune on the inner part of the door frame that was painted over. It glowed, revealing itself, before every book in the store flew off the shelves and into a space behind the counter. The wall behind the counter seemd to stretch, before disappearing as more books, along with many dark artifacts and random things such as timeturners and pensives, fly into the space. Harry quickly explained that in one hour he would recieve a report that his employees would find that rune lit up on the door of this store, the owner tied up on the wall, a bunch of muggle girls unconscious but obviously kidnapped in the back room, another rune lit on the center of the ceiling in the back room, and everything gone. Harry rushed into the secret compartment, finding the owner holding his wand to a bunch of crying young girls. Harry threw a stunner at the man, before tying him up with a good incarcerous and stunning the girls, who were obviously the muggles mentioned in the report. He stuck the man to the wall with a sticking charm, and hit the une on the center of the ceiling. More things flew from this room into the now revealed trunk out in the main store. There were things like flying carpets, invisibility cloaks, and more flying out.
Harry grabbed the trunk, and apparated the girls and himself back to the ministry, right into a secret chamber next to his office. He cast a quick tempus and saw they had 30 seconds until their pastselves left. As soon as they were gone, Harry threw the trunk of illegal goods into his trunk, and the minute that the doors in the ministry opened again, Harry and the girls were headed to the most heavily guarded part of the ministry, the heart of the Department of Mysteries. The three landed 10 feet from the veil, as Hermione and Luna finally managed to snap out of the shock-induced stupor they were in. Hermione was about to say something, when the wards on the ministry were lit up like a christmas tree. Harry cast acharm known only to the department heads, and saw a three-dimensional map of the ministry. There were red dots swarming into the lobby, as green dots signifying civilians and non-DMLE and non-Department of Mysteries ministry staff were disappearing. The three magic users began to cast wards, build barriers, and the like immediately, when Harry gasped. Some of the green dots in the Department of Mysteries area shifted to red, before green dots began to disappear rapidly.
Harry cursed, realizing they had some traitors intheir midst, while a similiar scene played out in the DMLE. Harry saw there were only three green dots left after a few minutes, and they suddenly disappeared, reappearing right in front of the room they were in. Harry quickly apparated outside the door, wand at them, when he quickly saw Daphne Greengrass, Amelia Bones, and Nymphadora Tonks in front of him. He grabbed them, apparating them into the Veil room, where he immediately launched into questioned that would verify their identities. After checking them all out, and they all were who they said they were, Harry lowered his wand. "Everyone, their almost here, get ready!" He said, as he cast the map charm again, showing all the red dots converging on them, all green dots long gone, bar them. He began to hear shouts and screams outside, the defences of the department taking their toll on their attackers, as Harry and the girls all got into combat stances.
The doors began to contort and stretch, before Harry cast an overpowered reducto at the door, sending metal shrapnel at their attackers. he heard several curse words, before wizards began to swarm into the room. They all began to exchange curses, the first two waves going down swiftly. Tonks quickly fell to a killing curse, as Amelia began to throw more and more curses. Harry could of sworn that she just had a solid curse going, they were flying from her wand so fast. He threw a borderline dark explosive hex at them, causing anything it hit to explode. Seeing as how the spell came out as a lance that you could aim for a few seconds before the spell ended, it was like a magical machine gun. Harry immediately aimed at the ground and their legs, sending shrapnel into their faces and taking out many of them as their bones shattered and their legs became a bloody pulp. He heard a scream, and saw Daphne go down to a blood-boiling curse, and snarled as his friend died, He began to throw exlosive hexes into the group like they were candy, forcing them back to the doors, where he conjured a 5 foot thick iron slab.
It blocked the attackers, as his surviving companions stared at him. Harry tapped the trunk on the ground, grabbing the handle on top as the scorch marks from the battle faded and the handle becam a chain. It shrank until it was a necklace with the Hogwarts emblem on it. He placed it around his neck, before turning to Daphne and Tonks, a few tears slipping down his face as his old friends left this world. He levitated their bodies, placing them away from the battle, and turning to the 3 remaining women. Amelia had a crazed look in her eyes, while Luna and Hermione had looks of shock, horror, and grief on their faces. He was about to comfort them, when the Iron slab began to glow orange. Harry cursed, levitating the three girls away, and turned toward the doors. He vaished the Iron, sending a blast of fire down the hall. He heard several screams of pain, anda cruel laugh. A man calmly walked through the inferno, holding a staff covered in motifs representing fire.
He grinned at Harry, before saying "Did you really think you could defeat me with MY weapon?" Lord Ignis Domini said with a harsh voice. He stuck out his hand, a massive cone of flames rushing at Harry, who just barely managed to throw a shield up. The Dark Tosser stopped, and threw fire to the side, where Amelia had thrown a curse at him. She cast a quick shield, as Harry attacked their foe. it continued like this, with Luna and Hermione joining in, before the men had had enough. He managed to knock Amelia over, and roasted her alive, as she screamed. He laughed, as Harry let more tears stream down his face, before he threw a shouted sectumsempra at him, catching him off guard. He hissed in pain, clutching his side, as his robes began to turn red. Harry began to conjure massive snakes to hold down the arms of the man, but frowned when the fire elementalist gestured with his hand, sending out a wave of fire. Harry cast an explosive hex, throwing the wizard across the room, and followed that up with two sectumsempras.
Harry threw a conjured dagger, severing the nerves in the man's left arm, and doing the same thing with the right arm. The man managed to sit up, fear clear on his face. Harry approached, when the man headbutted Harry when Harry went to haul him up. The man began to channel fire through his mouth, breathing fire, and managed to knock a vial out of his pocket in the ensuing confusion. Harry went to stop him, when the man stomped on the vial. He threw himself onto the potion, as the nerves stitched themselves back together. Harry cursed his rookie mistake, and dodged as the spot he wsa just in became a scorch mark. Harry managed to conjure a venemous black widow, throwing it at the man when Luna shot a cutting curse at him. The man didn't notice as he went to attack Luna, when Harry conjured a python that wrapped itself around the elementalist. Ignis looked at it, before smoke began to arise from the python's coils. The snake hissed in pain, and fell, it's scales scorched from where it had gripped Ignis. The man sent fire at it's head when he was free, killing it.
Harry saw his modified black widow bite Ignis on the shoulder, and he subtly cast a charm to activate the potion it injected, not poison. Ignis' entire shoulder exploded in aspray of blood, as He yelled in pain. Fragments of bone fell to the floor, his entire shoulder missing. Harry repeated the process with the other shoulder, finally crippling the dark lord. Harry limped up to him, shards of rock in his knee and burns all over his shins. Harry put his wand between the eyes of Ignis, and muttered reducto, ending the fight. He glanced around, before hearing a ticking noise. He cursed, seeing a bomb near Luna that the dark tosser must have brought, and summoned the two girls to him. They crashed into his side, when there was an explosion. Harry and the girls went through a period of weightlessness, then nothing, as the world went black.
