What Lies Below
A/N: I want to thank Mirloc for all his wonderful help and support. If it wasn't for him arguing with me over my writing, this story would cease to exist. Thanks for giving me the push to get going, and for being my beta.
Prologue
"Harry please, don't let him do this to us!" screamed Ginny.
Harry stared in the cold, red slits that were Voldemorts eyes 'I will never let you or your kind hurt us again' he repeated over and over in his head.
"Tap, Tap, Tap"
"Take your final breath you coward!" Harry yelled across the dingy stone room.
"Tap, Tap, Tap"
With a blinding gold light and an agonizing scream, and Harry Potter was startled awake.
With his heart pounding he jumped out of bed. "Bloody Hell!" exclaimed Harry in a totally Ron like fashion as he walked to the bathroom.
He splashed some cool water on his face and he heard something.
"Tap, Tap, Tap"
"Ahh, blast it! What is it now? Its 3 Am." grumped Harry as he walked towards the window. He slide the window open and an official looking owl flew inside.
"So much for being a lazy arse." he opened the parchment and immediately recognized the familiar handwriting.
H,
The Ministry is in complete chaos, we need your help immediately.
I will explain everything upon your arrival, in case this is intercepted.
P.W.
"I wonder what in the name of Merlin has the Ministry in such an uproar at this time in the morning." Harry wondered out loud as he was getting dressed.
Little did he know that what in the name of Merlin was exactly right.
And with a loud "Crack!" he was gone.
In a dark dungeon, a deep raspy voice asked "Did you succeed?"
"Everything went perfectly, just as you asked" replied a very large dark complexioned man.
"You serve the Knights well, stay in touch, and I will give you further directions."
The large man bowed and backed out of the room.
Harry finally made it through the media to the hall way to the Ministers office, where he spotted the love of his life. Her fiery red hair pulled up in a messy ponytail, little strips of hair falling in her face. She looked concerned, and frustrated.
He rushed to her side "Gin, what's wrong? Are you ok?"
"I am fine, but the ministry is going to crumble. I can't tell you anymore here, we need to find Percy." she replied.
She grabbed his had and pulled him down the hall way, which at this point might as well be called the hell way. After struggling through the crowd she finally shot off sparks and yell "Move it! Harry Potter coming through, now get out of the way!"
Harry chuckled softly, he usually hated it when people did things like that, but with Ginny it was different. He did think there was anything in the world she could do to upset him.
They finally reached the end of the hall way. He was surprised to see not only the entire Weasley family, but also most of the remaining Order of the Phoenix.
He knew this could not possibly be good, but his worse fears were relieved when he saw everyone he cared for was unharmed.
"So Percy, what is going on? There are more reporters from more newspapers and magazine than I even knew existed. From the Daily Prophet to Teen Witch." said Harry.
He gave Harry a grim look "The Minister is dead; we have a new threat on our hands. Or I should say an old threat. Have you heard of The Emrys Knights?"
Harry's jaw hit the floor.
