Chapter 2 – Quote the Raven, Nevermore

Harry sat there and wrote his next letter to Severus. He thought long and hard about what he wanted to say and who he wanted to discuss.

Raven,

There are a few students inside of Hogwarts that I want to rescue from the clutches of both mad men and the war. I will be on my way soon to pick up a few more muggles that need to be saved. I have my relatives with me and Gob and King have assisted D and W with golems to act as dead bodies. I want to make sure when we have these people that accidents happen that causes their traces to be obliterated. I don't want any trace of these people to be seen once they are here in Oceana. What I need for you to do for now is keep an eye on Draco, Hermione, Neville, Blaise, Susan, Hannah, Daphne, Astoria, and Luna. They are my main goal for students inside of Hogwarts. While I know that some of these teens are questionable in your eyes, they are NOT questionable in mine. Please note that when I'm ready for them, I will make a small statement to Old Coot and Hades that I have arrived and will make it known that I'm going to bring them down.

Firebird is on the lookout for certain things. Any information that you can send to me that will let me know what Hades and Old Coot are doing would be helpful. Have the other Heads of House assist you in this manner. We need to make sure that I get as many people going and acting as possible before I can actually do anything. My first goal is to get Hermione to safety along with her parents. Her code name will be Athena. While you work with her, I will work on her parents. We can get them here and start our plans for ensuring that all will be taken care of.

Phoenix

With that, Harry handed the letter to Dobby who popped away with it. Even in Hogwarts, Dumbledore couldn't keep up with all of the elves going back and forth. Harry went in search of his relatives. He found them sitting with Kreacher talking to one another.

"I'm going to the surface to see about rescuing some more non magical people," he told them. "What I want you to do is to start searching in the library for ways to make things go BOOM. Even though you don't have magic doesn't mean that you can't read the books. I will be heading to Gringotts also to have Gob and King make sure that all of your money is taken care of and sent here to Oceana. We want you all to be comfortable after all. Your money will be added to as you are helping. Grunnings is owned by me so I have them selling that already. Privet Drive is being given a claim for insurance as the poor building never stood a chance with the explosion. I'll add that to your vault. Gob is sending his brother here to work with us in that department."

"Is it safe for you to go to the surface?" asked Petunia. "From what you told us last night, you have a high price on your head. We don't want anything bad to happen to you. We are your family and we care about your wellbeing."

"I am more powerful in magic than people think," assured Harry smiling at her. "I won't be seen by anyone that I don't want to see me. This will ensure that those that I do want to see me either are being escorted here, or meeting their maker. I think that the time for us being nice and letting bygones be bygones is a thing of the past. Already the surface is changing and people are dying due to one master manipulator and one megalomaniac. It's time to start making a statement. Aunt you will be in charge of making sure everything gets put in their proper rooms and so forth. D and K will assist you in any way you need it. Ripper, I need you and Cuz to start working on information about potions and such that can help us in battle. Uncle, I need you to oversee the comfort of our soon to be guests. Put them in the black wing."

Everyone nodded as Harry focused for a moment and headed out to Hermione's parent's home. When he got there, he knocked and waited as Emma Granger came to the door. She was a bit surprised to see him standing there, but she quickly let him in.

"Hermione told me you were in hiding," she said. "What are you doing here? If they find you, you will be killed on sight. We don't want anything bad to happen to you. If anything were to happen to you, it would crush Hermione."

"I'm here to ask if you want to come to Oceana," said Harry. "I have already rescued my relatives and I have the group of them researching ways of making a point come across to those that need it. If you had seen the news, their poor bodies were hurt too much for them to live. Don't you just hate when that happens?"

"What about Hermione?" Emma asked smiling at Harry's mirth. "Will she be safe where she is?"

"She will be too heartbroken to remain at Hogwarts," said Harry winking at her. "She will commit suicide. The thought that her parents were a target because of her will be too much for her mind to handle. She will end her life as she will blame herself for their deaths."

"Shit," exclaimed Emma laughing out loud this time. "I hate when that happens. When do you need us ready? We are more than willing to go with you to help when and where we can. Where is this Oceana that you mentioned?"

"It's on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean," stated Harry. "My code name is Phoenix. You will be known as Em and Dan will be known as Dad. Nothing more needs to be said from here on out. D and W will come here and make sure that your entire house is packed up. From there, we will cause it to have an accident as your home and your business will be destroyed burning your bodies with it. Where is Dad?"

He's upstairs right now," said Emma. "I'll be ready to go in about ten minutes. Will you need me to do anything at all?"

"Make sure that D and W pack everything that you have here," replied Harry. "Once they are done, they will impersonate you and clean out all of your accounts. They won't find a trace of the two of you from here on out. You will have disappeared or been found dead. Let us worry about the details. All you need to know is that before long, you will be reunited with your daughter. For now, she will meet with Raven and be told what's going on. From there, she will end her life."

"I got it," said Emma. "I'll be right back with Dad. We'll be ready to leave soon. That way, you can tend to the business that you need to while the elves are taking care of our house. Thanks goodness that Hermione let us know of beings such as house elves."

"Right now there are three of them," said Harry. "As we get more magical families with us, there will be more. For now, we will do what we can with what we have. We will make an impact on what's going on as we can."

Emma nodded her head and headed upstairs to get Dan. Together they came downstairs as Harry was giving the last bit of instruction to the two elves. Upon seeing them nod, they made their presence known. Harry beckoned them forward and placed Disillusionment Charms on them to hide them from view.

"Won't they trace your magic?" asked Dan. "I thought that Ministry place was watching for underage magic."

"They are watching for wand usage," corrected Harry. "I'm using wandless magic and it can't be traced. I'm only casting the spell on you as I will let you watch yourselves die. Poor you. You didn't get out before the fire consumed you. I hate when that happens."

Both Granger parents laughed with Harry. It wasn't long before they were standing outside of the house and waiting for the signal from Dobby. When Harry saw it, he threw his hand out and hit the house with a huge fireball. The house exploded in flames. The Grangers winced slightly at seeing their residence go up in smoke. It wasn't long before pops of apparition could be heard and wizards from both factions of the war appeared.

"This is the work of a wizard," said Albus before he started trading spells with some of the Death Eaters. "We will make you all pay for what you did. All members of Voldemort's faction will be imprisoned and I will make sure that their punishments are extreme. From there, I will bring down Harry Potter."

"Please old man," snapped Bellatrix right back. "You are washed up. You are a has been. We are the new world and what we say goes. We will do what we want and there is NOTHING that you can do to stop us. We are more powerful than you are. You are no more able to do anything to Harry Potter than you are to our Master. He will be destroyed, but you won't be the one to do it. Our master will kill Harry Potter."

Harry watched the scene before him for a few more minutes before he grabbed hold of both Grangers and with a flash of fire, he flamed them to their new home. When he got there, Petunia and Vernon immediately took the Granger parents off his hands.

"Raven sent you a chest and a letter," said Aunt before she ushered the Grangers to their quarters. "It's in your room. We shall take care of Em and Dad. Not to worry about anything."

With that, she led the Granger parents to their suite. Dobby and Kreacher were already putting their things away while the women chatted easily with one another. Harry smiled as he headed to his room to see what Severus sent him.

Opening the box, he saw the Sword of Gryffindor nestled amongst other artifacts of both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. He buckled the sword to his side. From there, he opened the letter and pulled out a sheet of parchment.

Phoenix,

Athena is ready to make the move. We have set up for her to jump off the Astronomy Tower tonight at midnight. I have my house elf making the arrangements. Mittens is loyal to me and not to Hogwarts. When I send Miss Granger to you, she will go with you so that she can help set everything up. Inside of the trunk are all of the items of both Ravenclaw and Gryffindor that I could find. The elves helped me replace everything in the castle with fakes like you asked. If we come across any more, we will send them to you as we can.

On a separate note, Minerva, Filius, and Pomona want to assist you. Joyful as it is, Poppy and Hagrid have also asked to assist you. They are tired of what Old Coot is trying to do. Hades is making life a living hell for all people not living inside of this castle. He is even starting to turn his eyes to other countries. We need a plan to stop him from getting too far. I suggest that you send a message to Madam Maxime. She is more than willing to assist in this project.

Poppy will make sure that she is the one to classify Athena as dead. This way, we can bury the golem instead of the actual person. We shall do what we can to make sure that Old Coot and Hades doesn't learn what we are doing.

I have a favor to ask of you. I would like to get Draco out of this mess. He is working with me behind the scene to assist me with what we are doing. I want to get him to safety as soon as possible. I think it will be easier to get him out as Dumbledore will think he defected to Hades. Please let me know what you think as soon as you can. Naturally this will include Lucius and Narcissa.

If you have a need to come to Hogwarts for any reason, flashing directly into my quarters is the safest place to do it in. I can have Athena ready soon. We are mainly waiting for Old Coot to tell her the bad news.

Raven

Harry sat there in thought for a few moments. He knew that he needed as much help as he could get. Having the Malfoys working with him would make both sides of the war take a serious turn. Harry pulled out pen and paper and wrote a reply.

Raven,

Dobby will be back in Hogwarts this evening. When Athena meets her maker, have Dobby bring her here immediately. Her intelligence is needed. The Dragon can help, but we need him to find more Slytherins. The Ice King and Queen are more than welcome provided they understand that I am in charge here. Once we have our faction completely stocked, we can have the other two factions begin to feel our might and power. The help of more witches and wizards will go a long way in making sure that Oceana survives the wars with both the Neutrals and the Dark.

For your colleagues, tell the Lioness that she is more than welcome to assist us. She will need to keep an eye on Dead Man Walking and the Slut for now. We don't want either red head to get suspicious. They may be pretending to work with Old Coot, but intelligence tells me that they are branded with the dark mark. Have Mandrake keep an eye out for any Hufflepuffs that might be worthy. The same can be said for Eagle with the Ravenclaws. See if he can get some sort of magical protections for the students heading my way from mental intrusions. He is the Charms Master. He can do it.

I need to find a way to speak with both Grim and Wolf. My godfather and unofficial uncle will need help even if they are protected in Grimmauld Place. K is going back and forth between here and there assisting where he can, but I know they are getting stir crazy in that house. Also being under the watchful eye of Old Coot is making them nervous. They have been sending supplies via K here to Oceana. Any information or ideas you have will be most appreciated.

Phoenix

Harry smiled as he summoned Dobby. He knew that Sirius needed to get away from England at all costs. With a sigh he sat back and began to think of what he could do. Petunia and Vernon found him like that two hours later.

"Phoenix," called Vernon softly. "Is there a problem? If so, I'm sure we can work with you and help you out. We are family after all. If we put all of our minds to it, we can do something to alleviate the stress of you having to figure out how to do it all alone."

"There are so many people I want to help and so little time to do it with," responded Harry with a sigh. "I know that Dumbledore has Hogwarts firmly in his grasp. However, if Voldemort has his way, it won't be there for long. Then again, Dumbledore is just as twisted and sick as Voldemort is. It would have been so much easier had the two just wiped each other out and saved me a whole lot of grief."

"Voldemort is French for 'Flight from death'," said an amused Petunia. "Why would he name himself something like that?"

"Because he is a coward," answered Harry with a shrug. "He is after me because he thinks that once he finishes me off, then he will have free reign on the world. Britain is the first of his stops should we not figure out a way to stop him once and for all. He made soul anchors. I know that the Old Coot is after those anchors. Little does he know that, I already have a few of them and have summarily destroyed them. Of the seven that were made, there is only three left. They think that because I'm only sixteen that I don't know what I'm doing"

"Then they are fools," stated Petunia with conviction. "You are a VERY intelligent young man. If you give us a list of names and a little information about each person, we can help with trying to get them out of Britain and here so that we can start devising their downfall and bring our lands back to what they are supposed to be."

Harry smiled and pulled out a list. He handed it to his relatives and sat back. This was something that he had been already working on. With knowing that Vernon and Petunia would assist in ideas to help get some of these people out of Britain, Harry could relax just a little bit.

"I made that list last night," he explained. "Each person on that list is someone that is special to me. Not only do we need to save them, but their deaths must accompany their removal from the land. Hermione will be here soon and she is even more intelligent than I am. She will be able to work with you all while I see about causing problems on the surface for our foes."

"I'll get D and W to get us some bulletin boards and things and we can create some charts and such," promised Petunia scanning the list. "There aren't that many names on this list, but those that are there, we can save and we will save. Is there a contact on the surface we need to meet and such?"

"Severus Snape," stated Harry and saw Petunia raise an eyebrow. "His code name is Raven and he is the one that is helping us with some of this. Now from what I know, there are still two Horcruxes left on the surface. Sirius has one, and Bellatrix has the other. Once I get ahold of Sirius, I can see about acquiring the one that he has. The very last one is ALWAYS with Voldemort. It's his snake Nagini. She can be stolen and brought here with ease. The hardest one will be the one that's in the bank. While King and Gob are working with us, there are others who are working with the other factions."

"Will either of the two old fools be able to access Oceana?" asked Vernon. "We are only asking as we don't want to leave one scenario and enter into a different and worse one. We do enjoy being alive you know."

"I know," laughed Harry. "No they won't be able to access this place. I used the ancient magic to create it. Only those that I approve will be able to come to Oceana. There is a taboo on Voldemort's name. Every time you say it, they can disapparate to the location to apprehend the offender. I'm sure right about now, he is going crazy knowing that someone is saying Voldemort over and over and he can't get to them. Hogwarts is just like this place for now. The sole exception is that I can get into it due to my lineage. When you pretty much own the castle, you can do whatever you want. My other advantage is that I can flash like a phoenix to wherever I want. No wards were built that can stop a phoenix. For whatever reason, I have that ability and I can get just about anywhere I want to go."

"Well you better let Raven know when you need him to do what you want," suggested Vernon. "The sooner we get some of these people on the list out of there, the sooner we can start planning our revenge on the bastards that caused all of this to begin with."

"I'm going to head to Hogwarts now," murmured Harry. "We need to get Athena here and out of the way. I can get around Hogwarts without Old Coot knowing. The sooner I get there, the sooner I can talk to Raven in person and be done with some of this. I'll take my dad's cloak and no one will see me if I choose to not be seen."

The Dursleys smiled and wished Harry luck before they took their leave to get a meeting room set up with the different factions and such. Vernon had experience in this sort of thing being a top ranking official at Grunnings. Harry smiled for a moment before he concentrated on Severus' rooms and flashed away. When he got to Hogwarts, there was a group of people waiting for him.

"Hello everyone," he said with a smile. "I'm so glad that you are all here. I would like to step up the game just a bit. Today, we are going to remove Athena and Dragon. From there, we will work on getting everyone else out."

"He mentioned that my parents are dead," said Hermione with a steely glint in her eyes. "He is acting like they aren't really worth mentioning. Suffice to say, I want his balls served to him on a silver platter. I know they are safe and sound with you, but the fact that he is acting like it isn't a big deal pisses me off. The sooner we take care of some of this, the better it will be."

Everyone around could see the fury on the young woman's face. She was a force to be reckoned with and everyone knew it. She was intelligent to the point that many older witches and wizards were nowhere near her category with what she knew. She was equally skilled with her wand as she was with her knowledge.

"Here is what we have so far," said Harry. "Grim and Wolf have sent all of the potions ingredients that were in Grimmauld Place to Oceana. From there, I had D, W, and K take what was in stasis out of the Chamber of Secrets. Gob and King have gone and bought us enough supplies to last us for some time. We want to ensure that we are able to heal our wounded and make other things that will assist us in the war effort."

"Do you have a list of names of people we want to get out of England?" asked Minerva. "We can't get them if we don't know who they are. The more knowledge we have, the better it will be. Filius has made us charms that we wear that stops the mental intrusion of the old fool. What you tell us, stays with us."

Harry grinned at this news. He showed them a list of names and the code names he invented to go with each person. He explained how each person would be able to handle certain aspects of things while he went under cover and worked behind the scenes.

"Oceana is a very safe place," assured Harry. "I have every charm that the old magic could create on it. Gob and King have also added some goblin charms and wards on it as well. Now on the second sheet is a list of the neutrals. While I'm not happy with Old Coot, doesn't mean that I want many of the others hurt. We will work with some of the neutrals to get things done. Some may be neutral, but they are loyal to the light. They are classified as neutral due to where and who they are."

"Who are the major threats in the neutral category that we need to be weary of?" asked Hermione. "The more information we know, the better it will be for us. We can make a chart of things when I get to Oceana. If Dragon wants to help, we can begin making potions for our community."

"If you look on the list, there is a star near certain names," explained Harry while showing them. "These are the neutrals that we need to keep an eye on as they are solely assisting Dumbledore in his schemes. These will include Molly Weasley, Rufus Scrimgeour, Rita Skeeter, Cornelius Fudge, Marietta Edgecombe, Horace Slughorn, Sybil Trelawney, and just to be safe, Aberforth Dumbledore. While many are not actively seeking me, any of these names will give me up for the reward and not think twice about it."

"We will keep an eye on those you want protected for now," assured Severus. "Who do you have so far in Oceana? I know you have the Granger parents, three house elves, and the two goblins going back and forth, but who else do you have?"

"So far that's it other than the Dursleys," said Harry. "Right now, they are working on research to see what kind of accidents we can create for you all when it's your time to die and move to the city on the ocean floor. From there, you all will assist in coming up with battle plans and research to improve our faction in this war. We want to win, and to do that, we will need to use all of the bravery of Gryffindor, the intelligence of Ravenclaw, the loyalty of Hufflepuff, and the cunning of Slytherin. Just because you are in one house here, doesn't mean you don't have traits of the other houses. We can do this if we work as a team. Dragon, for now I need you to search for loyal students in Slytherin. Make sure they can be trusted. We will get their parents out first and then the students will shortly follow. For all of you, once we have the parents, we can work on getting the students out as well. If you think you are in danger of discovery, abort and send for me. I will get you out of here and we will take you to safety."

"I know of a couple that would follow me in a heartbeat," assured Draco. "Not to worry Phoenix. I'll be fine for a bit. Raven and I have been working on a few things that we are going to send with D. I want to make sure MY mother and father get to safety first. Right now, the Headmaster thinks I can be saved. The more I let him think he can keep me from the "dark" the better it will be. When the time is right and the plan is made, I'll give you the signal that it's time for me to leave and we can make our plans from there."

"Is there anything that we need to get to you from the surface?" asked Pomona. "Is there anything that will help you put a stop to the Hades and the Old Coot?"

"I need the locket of Slytherin from Grim and the cup of Hufflepuff from the vault of Bellatrix," said Harry. "Gob and King are working to get the latter of the two. I need one of you to get that locket from Grim for me and send it to me. We can destroy it when I get it. From there, I need the Ice King and Queen to work on getting Nagini. Once she is dead, Hades will be mortal like the rest of us. We can start bringing down the dark and the darker neutrals from there. We need the two opposing factions to start fighting amongst each other. If we can weaken the dark, we have a better chance of bringing in the problems from the neutrals and start living again."

"We will start thinking of ways to bring in certain people," promised Filius. "I was a dueling champion. We will need to start using lethal ways of bringing some of these people down. For now, the only reason Hades isn't taking over Hogwarts is because we are able to stop him at every turn. Thus far, he hasn't made a move in Scotland yet. It won't be too much longer before he tries though."

"OK," said Harry with a sigh. "Come on Athena. It's time for you to commit suicide. The sooner that Healer says you are officially dead, the sooner we can have you working with Em and Dad to come up with some ingenious plans. Sirius and Remus made duplicates of all the books in the Black Family library. I already have all of the books from the Potter, Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw libraries. D, K, and W, are working nonstop to make copies of every book here in Hogwarts. The library of Oceana is filling up nicely."

"You'll never be able to keep her out of there now," stated Draco with a snicker. "Whenever you will be looking for Hermione, she will be in the library. You might as well just put a bed and stuff in there for her now and save yourself some time."

"Be quiet you," said Hermione grinning with the rest of them. "You are just as bad as I am with being in the library all the time. Don't think that I don't see you hiding behind the bookcases from time to time observing which books I'm getting my information from. You are equal to me in grades here. Not that it matters anymore with the war."

That last statement drew everyone out of the merriment. They knew they had a war to fight. That Hermione was ready to take her place and help make a difference was evident. With her and Draco assisting Harry, the new leaders were emerging and the war would quite possibly change for the better. If they could bring down the two most stupid men in the wizarding world, the better it would be for all humanity.

"Then I guess it's time for us to stage your suicide," said Harry softly. "We will make it look like you jumped off the Astronomy Tower in your grief. We need you to write your letter and such stating that you can't go on without your parents and that you have had enough. While you are doing that, I'm going to get started on the scene."

Everyone nodded and they got to work. An hour later, Poppy was explaining to Dumbledore that Hermione had died in the fall from the top of the tower. Minerva presented the suicide letter and the members grieved for the loss of an intelligent young woman. Albus tried to scan the minds of some of his colleagues and met with walls. He knew people like Severus and Filius were proficient in Occlumency, but it surprised him that others were able to keep him out as well. He would have to get to the bottom of this soon.

AUTHOR'S NOTE = This is as good a place as any to stop.
