Hey guys! This is my first HP fanfic, and I hope you all enjoy it. I am very excited about it. I plan to update two-three times a week, and would love your input. Please R/R! I definitely own Harry Potter. *sarcastic eye roll* Only a few original characters, and those will probably be the names you don't recognize.
Bloody bodies littered the floor of the elevator in the muggle hotel. There were five men, all Death Eaters, which lay unmoving. Their throats had been cut with a sharp blade, spilling both blood and life. Their wands lay snapped in half beside them. Any muggle that saw them would have been severely confused and horrified, which is why the only living human in the elevator stopped at the seventh floor, and then took out her wand to start a fire. She glanced upwards at the elevator cables, and with a flick of her wrist, she cut them all. The elevator promptly fell and crashed, and the girl could hear the panicked cries of the muggles in the lobby. She smirked, walking to the hallway window. Like a shadow, she disappeared into the night, satisfied. For now.
Dumbledore sighed, setting his hands in head. The wizarding world was already in turmoil, the brutal murders of Death Eaters would only increase tensions. Within the past month, there had been 20 murders, all in the same way. Witnesses would retell the same story- a woman would come in and try and seduce and entice the said Death Eaters, and then both would disappear, only the men would be found with their throats slit. The description of the woman changed every time- white, black, Chinese, redhead, blonde, and brunette. Nothing was consistent, which was incredibly frustrating to the Ministry. Only did Dumbledore know who could possibly be behind this. And although he didn't particularly care for the dead, he knew he had to put a handle on it. On her. He sighed once more before grabbing his cloak and apparating outside of Grimmauld Place.
"Albus," Molly Weasley busied herself with fixing him a cup of tea, as the youth of the house began creeping into the stairway. "Any plans?''
"What would life be with a good plan, Molly?" He remarked, looking much older than he normally did. "I have one, yes. But if it will be successful, that is life's true trial."
Harry stuck his head into the room at the mention of trial.
"Professor, I wanted to talk to you about the trial-"
"Professor," Hermione jumped in. "What are you going to do about the mur-"
"Is it true that it's a band of vengeful vampires?" Ron added.
"Was it you?" Fred asked.
"Nah, signs point to Snapey-Wapey," Added George.
"Seems a bit… Rapey," Fred added, eyes flashing.
"I cannot answer any of your questions, as I do not know the answers. Please continue to ignore the newspaper and it's news of the murdeSr. They are, how you say, a load of bollocks." Dumbledore remarked. They guffawed. "Molly, there will be a guest joining us. Two actually, if tonight goes well. I believe you are friends with one of them? A Mr. Oliver Wood?"
The group buzzed with excitement.
"Wood was a hard captain, but I didn't peg him for a murderer," George said.
"I heard it was a knife, not a bloody broom bludgeoning." Fred added.
"I'm afraid Mr. Wood is not behind the deaths," Albus said. The group quieted, eagerly waiting for news. "He has joined the Order after the murder of his parents, and is need of a safe house for a few months. Although you all return to Hogwarts within the week, I trust that you will make him welcome."
The group nodded, but Molly still wrung her hands. They exited, but did not realize that Fred and George were using the Expendable Ear to catch the end of the conversation.
"Albus," Molly whispered. The twins gathered around the Ear. "Have you really found the culprit?"
He nodded silently.
"Who is he? Where is he?"
"I can't release any information. But, I will be retrieving her shortly. I must go," He started out the door. "Thank you for the tea. Please pass on to the rest of the others that we will have two guests. Remus is to bring Wood tomorrow."
Fred and George slowly retracted the Expendable Ear. They looked at each other in excitement. They knew one thing- the Death Eater Destroyer was a girl.
