Chapter 3 – The Wisdom of Athena

Hermione joined Oceana and with her usual efficiency, she created charts regarding how to do things for certain people. Emma and Petunia worked with her on details while the guys worked out the destructive parts of the equation. Marge worked where she was needed, but mostly, she worked one on one with Harry to help oversee the preparations for Oceana.

"What we need to do for Draco and his parents is simple," explained Hermione showing the small group her ideas. "We just need to use Harry's original idea and have the golems somewhere where they will be able to cause problems."

"Athena, you have been here for a week and you have hardly left the library," exclaimed Harry. "What have you found that will make what I do better? I know you better than most. You have something going on in that clever mind of yours. I also want to add in the fact that you do need to take a break and enjoy yourself every now and then. This project will be ongoing. There is no reason for you to burn yourself out all at once. Take is slow and easy."

"My idea is that the golems can be given more life with a bit more magic," stated Hermione with a blush. "With the magic, we can still have you disillusioned in the area while we have the golems attack people from the Order. By them attacking the Order members, it will cause them to fight back and the golems will be killed if certain spells are used. If we make it so that the Bombarda Spell is used, there won't be enough left of the bodies to know that it isn't the real Ice King and Queen. Thus Lucius and Narcissa will be able to get out of Britain and help us here in Oceana with rescuing more people. King stated that he would help me with the magical portion of the project. We just need the help of Raven and Dragon to pull this off."

"What are we going to do about Dragon?" asked Harry. "What will be his ultimate desire or demise? Have you gotten around to making a plan for him as well? I can carry out the plan if I know what I'm doing."

"That part will be relatively simple," chimed in Petunia instead of Hermione. "We feel that once Dumbledore's people kill the Malfoy parents that young Draco will go off the deep end and leave the safety of the castle. Once he does that, he will be abducted by dark minions and brought forth to the new Lord he will serve."

"How does that help Draco if he goes to the Dark Lord?" asked Harry a little confused. "We want him here and not in the clutches of Voldemort."

"Think about it Phoenix," stated Marge with kindness. "We said new Lord. We didn't say Dark Lord. We will kidnap him and bring him to the safety of this city. Once he is here, he can work with Athena on the potions that Raven suggests for us to use to assist us in the war. What Athena is trying to say is that we can manipulate the way we deal with the disappearance of the Malfoys. When we say dark minions, we don't mean evil ones. They just aren't seen; therefore we are classifying them as dark. As in they are in the dark!"

"Excellent work ladies," said Harry with a grin when he caught on to what they were talking about. "The dark minions aren't Death Eaters. They are members of our group that are working in the dark. I love it. You girls are brilliant. I need to get to Raven so that we can inform him and the other Heads of House what we are doing so that none of them are left floundering without information. I think that Athena should join me as we head to Raven's quarters. I can flash both of us directly to his rooms and we won't be spotted."

"When we get there, we can talk with Dragon and let him know what we're planning," stated Hermione. "From there, he can tell his mother and father. With the help of Raven, we can have most of the people on this list taken care of in a matter of weeks if not sooner. We may want to move towards Bulgaria and France for allies as well. The more people we have, the better it will be for us to be able to grow and become a powerful fighting force. I know that Fleur and Viktor would be more than willing to help out."

"We'll have to send word to France and Bulgaria and see if they would be willing," acquiesced Harry. "If they are willing to work with us, then we may have an advantage of pockets of resistance in other countries. Now that Dumbledore and Voldemort have taken over the European continent, we need all the allies we can get. I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. If we can convince them, the better it will be for us. Let's work on getting those in our own country to work with us first. We can move to other countries from there."

"We can start drafting the letters for you," offered Petunia. "This way, there are more people working on this project. You just leave us a list of who isn't in this country and what they do and we can make sure that we get some kind of letter written up for you while you work on what you are doing for the Malfoys."

"Thanks Aunt Petunia," said Harry. "I'm glad that you all are here. I like that we are finally the family that we should have been all this time had certain unmentionable people hadn't interfered in it. I'll gladly accept your offer to write the letters. I have my ring in the top drawer of my desk. If you all agree on the wording of the letters, just press the ring onto the paper and it will show our crest. Once that's done, have one of the elves take the letter for you."

When everyone was finished, Harry grabbed Hermione in his arms and flashed them directly to Severus' quarter in Hogwarts. Once there, the trio sat. It wasn't but a few moments later that a knock sounded on the door. When opened, Minerva, Filius, Poppy, Pomona, and Draco stood there waiting for entrance.

"Harry and Hermione!" exclaimed Minerva happily rushing in and wrapping her arms around the pair. "I'm glad that we get to see you again Mr. Potter. I have missed you and your cheeky answers. What brings the two of you here today? I hope that you are going to pass on some of the plans that you are working on so that we can put a stop to this ridiculous war going on inside of the British Isles and Europe. We don't want the war to spread to other continents."

"We have some ideas," stated Harry. "I'm going to execute most of them, but Athena here is the one that is making some of the plans. She has been working with Aunt Petunia and Aunt Marge to get some ideas going. I'm going to let her give you the rundown of what's going on and what part I'm going to play in all of this."

"Basically, we are going to expand our group and territory," she said pulling out her charts and showing the others. "We will start bringing in people from other countries as well. Once we have a small army, we will start liberating certain areas. If we can knock out the strong holds of the two opposing forces, we can ensure that we have what we need to take back what belongs to the TRUE people of the light. We can't have people claiming they are the leaders of the light when they are just as bad as those that are the leaders of the dark."

"Ok," stated Filius. "So far we are with you. What are some of the ideas that you are posing? The more that we know, the better we will be able to help you all when you need it. We need to be able to get to those that are in immediate danger."

"We are already working on a plan to get the Ice King and Queen of Slytherin out of the country and the clutches of the Dark Lord," stated Harry. "Once that happens, we are going to kidnap the Dragon. The Malfoys may be arrogant at times, but in their defense, I would be too if I had to walk on the edge of the knife like they are. They are highly intelligent and they will be able to assist us with further plans."

"We will take all three to safety and let them work with us behind the scenes," explained Hermione. "The more magical people we have working with us, the more areas we can hit at the same time. The sooner we get into some of these areas, the sooner we can start a rescue mission for the European continent. We want us free from both Hades and Coot. From there, we can make sure that we bring the light back where it's supposed to be and not to those that claim they are light."

"While we are here, we will be talking in codes to one another," said Harry. "Minerva, your code name will be Lioness. Filius, your code name will be Eagle. Pomona, your code name will be Mandrake. Poppy, your code name will be Healer. Once we start communicating back and forth not in person, we use those codes so that no one knows who we are talking about. This way, we stay under the radar so to speak. We want to keep our ambiguity for as long as possible before the other two idiots catch on to who is behind the unusual attacks and so forth. Once we are in Oceana, we can use our given names, but outside, we must speak in code for safety reasons."

"Very clever Phoenix," acknowledged Severus with a smile. "Now that we understand some of that, what are you going to do about the Ice King and Queen? I can have them ready to act at a moment's notice. The sooner we get them to safety, the sooner we can get Dragon to safety as well."

Hermione quickly outlined the plan that she came up with. Twenty minutes later, the group all knew what they had to do.

"So basically, you are going to blow up Malfoy Manor after mother and father get their most prized possessions out of it and safely into Oceana," remarked Draco with glee on his face. "From there, they will appear to attack people that are certain to kill them. It will ensure that they die and are taken out of the war. I LOVE IT!"

"Don't forget Dragon," admonished Harry. "As soon as you hear that your mother and father have died, you are to leave the castle and turn your back on the light. You are to be the best actor you can be. You will be so heartbroken that members from Coot's army killed your parents and Hades did nothing for them that you will forsake everyone. From there, I will have you kidnapped. We will have more plans from there. Between you and your mother, we will have most of the potions that we need. Hermione is working on some new transfiguration stuff that we need. Once we get the rest of the people that we want to work with us together, we can arrange for us to make our presence known and felt."

"We can start sending as many books on the different subjects that we have," offered Filius. "This way we can ensure that we have all of the information that we need. By casting a Gemino spell on the books, the Old Coot will never know the books are gone. King and Gob have already sent us medallions that help prevent us from being under the influence of a Legilimency attack."

"I don't think we will need them," said Harry offering him a smile. "I had the goblins get me a copy of just about every book on the shelves at the bookstores. I even had them go down Knockturn Alley and get some of the darker books as well. Also we have the Potter and Black libraries to work with also. However, we may be missing some of your more personal stuff. Just call for Dobby and we can ensure that you aren't wasting your time creating books we already have."

"I have some books from the Prince library that I can send," said Severus. "I'll have a few house elves go to Prince Manor and pack them up. From there, I'll send them with Fawkes. There are many potions journals in that library that will help. We will need that type of experience if we are going to take people with us to Oceana."

"Pomona, we will need as many clippings as you can get us for plants," stated Harry. "We will need both magical and edible plants. The more we have with us, the better we will be. This way, we won't have to come to the surface as much to get supplies. I'm not all that worried about the two old fools as I am a match for them one on one, but the less we are seen the better. We also need to see if we can get some livestock as well. The more variety of animals we have, the better it will be. There is amply space for pens and such for food in Oceana. Hermione and Marge made a list of things we will need."

Harry handed the list to the professors. As they were reading the list, they all made notations of what parts of it they could acquire for the group. When it was all said and done, they made duplicates of the list and everyone had a copy.

"I think it's time to contact the Ice King and Queen," said Harry. "They can assist us with some of this stuff as well. Just be cautious. Hermione and I will head back to Oceana and begin the golems for Lucius and Narcissa. If you can get them here, Fawkes can send them to Oceana and we can get the finer details of the golems to them. Make sure they understand that this is for their safety and I won't tolerate anyone usurping my decisions. I'm totally in charge. While I don't mind the help and advice, I won't even listen to it if it isn't presented with respect and intelligence."

"You won't have to worry about that," assured Draco. "Mother and Father are intelligent people. When it all boils down to things, we can make sure that many of the people we want work with us in our strongest capacities. We may be hard in public, but behind the scenes, we are just as loving and close as everyone else. We will make sure that everyone understands that you are working hard to protect us all. Now that we know some of the people that you are going to save, we can work with you to come up with different ideas as to how to save them all."

"Perfect," exclaimed Harry. "Have them get ready. We are heading home now and we need to get started. The amount of magic I'm going to use will make me tired after. I will need to be put to bed and get some rest after that. If you have any further questions, send them to Hermione. She will be the one with the most answers."

Everyone nodded to Harry and the groups all split off to begin their preparations. There was one thing that was nagging Severus, but they didn't have the time to act upon it at the moment. He knew that there was one small detail they were forgetting, but it was of no consequence at the moment. He summoned his personal elves and had them go to Prince Manor to pack all of his books. There was no reason for him to just send copies as when it was all said and done, most of the British Isles would be completely destroyed. People would be fleeing from them as Harry and his growing group would start causing destruction and havoc in their wake.

Pomona went to the greenhouses and with the assistance of Neville and a few chosen students that were trustworthy, began to get clippings, seeds, pods, and anything else that could be grown. Those that needed to be planted strait away were placed in pots where they would not die. Once they had some of it done, they sent it with elves to Oceana with instructions to assist in their planting in the soils.

Minerva and Filius went to the library where they worked for a few hours by starting to make copies of the books there. When they had twenty at a time, they would call for Dobby to bring them to Oceana with the instruction to bring back all duplicates. As they were doing this, they were caught by Albus.

"Minerva," he stated as he watched them work. "What are you doing and why are you doing it. Is there really a cause for duplicating the books?"

"We felt that some of the students were not getting as much of the information as they required due to having only one copy of the books on the shelves," explained Filius. "Therefore, Minerva and I decided to aid the students by making a copy of the books so that there are more of them for the use of by the students. We didn't want to waste your time by disturbing you with this."

"You are always telling us to use our own initiative when trying to assist the students," reminded Minerva. "Therefore, we felt this was a brilliant idea. Not only will it help the students, but it may assist said students in helping us defeat the Dark Lord if they ALL have more access to the information present."

"What a brilliant idea," stated Albus pulling out his own wand and assisting with the project. "We can make sure there is at least five of every book on the shelves. That will give all of our students and followers ample ability to use the books. That's very clever thinking Minerva."

For the better part of four hours, the trio worked on the books. Other professors came in and when told what they were doing, assisted in the project. When it was all said and done, the entire library grew in size. Unknowingly, Albus had assisted the duo in aiding Harry in taking back his status and rightful place as Leader of the Light. He also didn't know that he provided Harry with load more books for their fight. Everyone and their uncle knew that Harry Potter owned Hogwarts, but many didn't say that in front of Albus due to the anger the old man got when it WAS said. Eventually, Harry would be able to get him OUT of Hogwarts permanently.

"That was very Slytherin of you Minerva and Filius," stated Severus as he assisted with the packing of the books. "You just tricked one of the stupidest people on the plant into assisting his enemy. Well done indeed."

The other two just grinned and went on with their work. Dobby enlisted the help of Kreacher in working with the books. It took two days for them to be finished moving all copies of the books that Harry didn't have into the library of Oceana. Winky and the other inhabitants of Oceana worked together to make room for all of the books coming in.

During that time, Harry worked with the golems. He was guided by Hermione as she told him what he needed to do. It made for great teamwork as the two of them created lifelike statues of Lucius and Narcissa. True to Harry's word, he was exhausted. In the meantime, Lucius and Narcissa were safely sent to Oceana. While Harry was sleeping, Hermione and the rest filled them in on the plan that they were working on. Lucius and Narcissa worked with Hermione to finish detailing the golems.

"All they need now is Harry to bring them to life with as much magic as possible," said Hermione. "We don't want him to drain his core while doing so, but we want your look a likes to cause as much destruction as they can. Now, if you summon your elves, they can start bringing your stuff here. Ripper will show you the suite that will be used by the Malfoy family. Phoenix and the goblins worked serious magic on Oceana and it will give us the space we need, but not the items."

"Not to worry Athena," said Narcissa with a smile. "We are happy that Harry thought enough of us to assist us in getting out of the forefront of the war. We are happy to do what we can. We need to work on getting rid of our Dark Marks. The Dark Lord can use them to punish us through the mark."

"The magic surrounding Oceana will stop that," said Harry walking into the room. Petunia handed him a cup of tea. "Once we work with some more research, we can ensure that we get rid of it all the way around. I have much knowledge and many books. Athena is VERY gifted in research. With my Aunts helping, we can find a way to get rid of those nasty marks permanently."

"So what type of destruction are you going to have our golems cause?" asked Lucius with interest. We have finished them, but they need to be brought to life. We are also going to have our elves come here to work in Oceana. You will need more of them with the growing numbers we have here."

"I'm so glad that you asked that," grinned Harry mischievously. "You are going to blow up your house. The destruction will be so vast that it will be felt for a few miles all around the Manor. Once that happens, then Hades will no longer have access to what rightfully belongs to you. This is why we want you to get your elves to bring what is most valuable to you both personally and monetary wise. This will ensure that you can stay living in the comfort that you are accustomed to while we take away the hiding spots from one of our enemies."

Lucius called all of the Malfoy elves. With close to ten pops, the elves appeared in Oceana and bowed to their masters. Lucius then bade then to stand with more kindness than anyone had ever heard him talk with before.

"Times are changing," he told the elves softly. "We are going to change with them. I need you all to bring me the Malfoy Family library as well as all of our clothes and jewelry. Leave enough clothes and such so that it doesn't look like we left. We are moving here to Oceana. When you are done with that, you will join the staff here to help us. I would offer to free you, but we know that you all need to be bonded to live. So we are going to alter the way we do things. You will be a part of our family from now on. I know this is different than how we do things, but we want to make a positive impact on the world."

"To do that, we are going to need the help of those that care for us," chimed in Narcissa. "We will need you just as much as you need us in the upcoming war. We can make sure that as a family, we can protect those that are in our care. If this is not something that you can deal with, let me know and we can free you to let you go somewhere else."

"We is liking to be a part of the family of Oceana," said the head elf. "We is all going to get to work now to get your belongings here. Please stay safe until we return."

"Just make sure that none of the guests see you removing the items we requested," pressed Lucius. "We want you all to promise to stay safe and come back to us in one piece. As members of our family, we worry about you as much as you worry about us."

"If for any reason you can't get all the items asked for, then leave them," stated Harry emphatically. "Your lives are more important than belongings. Items can be replaced. You can't! We will need one of you to stay behind to send word to the goblins that the Malfoy vaults will need to be moved to Oceana. We have vaults here specifically for that reason. This way, the property that is in the vaults doesn't get lost when the Malfoy family dies in the real world."

"Dobby is doing it," exclaimed the named elf. "Dobby is being known by the goblins and he is taking the letter for you. All Master Malfoy has to do is write the letter for Dobby to give. King and Gob can be having the vaults moved with no one knowing."

Harry directed Lucius to the desk with the writing implements and watched as the head of the Malfoy clan wrote his letter. Once he pressed his seal into it, he smiled at Dobby as he handed the letter to him. With a happy grin, Dobby popped away.

"Once we get you killed, we will work on getting to Draco," said Hermione to the Malfoys. "Harry will start adding life to your golems now. We just need you to give ten minutes so that YOUR magical signature is in the golems. It won't harm you at all and when the golems cast the spells, it will seem like you have done it. Harry is going to use some of the Ancient Magic to ensure this. From there, Lucius will need to go to Borgan and Burkes under a disguise to wait for Draco to put in an appearance. This way, he will be brought here and out of the view of the two bumbling fools that we are fighting."

"Thank you Phoenix," said Narcissa quietly. "You have no idea as to how much we appreciate what you are doing for our family. We will work with you in every aspect that you need us to end this once and for all. We would not have survived this. Whatever you need us to do, all you have to do is ask. We are going to be a family now. Family works together."

"We have many supplies that are coming in," said Harry. "Your assistance in getting them in their proper places would be immensely gratifying. We have books, plants, animals, and any number of other things being sent to us by the four Heads of House of Hogwarts. Raven is walking a dangerous game being in Dumbledore's team while passing information back and forth between the two. Tomorrow, once I recover from this, I will write some of my own ideas down and see if we can implement them into the war effort that will aid us in recovering some of our soon to be allies."

With that, Harry began to pour his magic into the golems with earnest. He knew he would be tired after, but this was a necessary job to do to pull off the cleverest kidnapping of the century. For the better part of an hour, Harry poured his magic into the two statues. There was enough of Lucius and Narcissa's magic in them to be realistic when they began to cast magic.

"When Harry is done, they will be able to do wandless magic," said Hermione quietly so as not to disturb Harry. "All we need to do is create a duplicate of your wands and give them to the golems. It'll look like they are using said wands that way. I found a spell in the Potter portion of the library that will make it look like your wands are actually casting spells. Apparently the Potter family was well versed in wandless magic."

"I'll go speak with Ollivander about some dummy wands as well as a supply of wands in case we lose ours for whatever reason," offered Narcissa. "This way, we have spares in case of an accident. I'm sure that he will be willing to help us. He is one of the few that neither the Dark Lord nor Dumbledore have recruited as both need his services."

"Good thinking," stated Lucius. "While you are doing that, I can meet our son at the rendezvous point and bring him here to safety. While we are doing that, Harry can cause whatever destruction he is planning. I'll keep an eye on Harry if you ladies want to start helping put our belongings away. The elves are over there and are ready for instruction."

With that, the Malfoys became part of the team to help out in Oceana. When Harry was done, Lucius picked him up and was led to his chambers by Petunia. They placed Harry in his bed and called for a house elf to sit with him until he was awake. They also instructed the elf to make sure Harry had food to eat when he woke.

Everyone met in the library that seemed to grow with magic to accommodate the books from the library of Malfoy Manor. It was apparent that the elves were very good at what they did. Not only did they get the Malfoy family books copied and brought the originals to Oceana, but they also was able to get Voldemort's books copied and the originals were also now waiting to adorn the shelves of the library of Oceana.

"They need serious rewards for this," said Hermione is an awed voice. "They have gone above and beyond the call of duty on this one. We now have access to all of Voldemort's spells and shenanigans. We have all of Slytherin's journals, books, and potions. We even have spells that can be used to aid us in the defeat of the two old fools who think that we are nothing but fodder."

"Would Dobby be willing to take me to Diagon Alley?" asked Narcissa. "The sooner that I get there, the sooner I can get the wands and return to the safety of Oceana. From there, I can work with you to come up with some plans to get the rest of the people on this list to the city. While I'm doing that, everyone else can begin working on some of the potions that Harry has on this list. They are not that difficult to make. Arabella Figg is a Potions Mistress even if she is a squib. She is skilled in many of these potions and can make them with her eyes closed."

"Kreacher can take you to Diagon Alley, Mistress Black," said elf stated. "This way, Dobby can take Master Malfoy to Mistress Figg's house to get her before he has to recover Master Dragon."

"Good idea," responded Lucius with a smile. "I can make sure that something bad happens to her residence. This way, it will look like I'm getting rid of some of the opposition for the Dark Lord. While I'm at it, I can cause a little destruction to the surrounding area. We want to make this look good all the way around."

"I can cause a few problems while I'm in Diagon Alley as well," remarked Narcissa. "This way, we have more than one problem on the forefront of the two idiotic fools. We want to make sure that we can get as much done as possible with as little time as we have. We want to make sure that both sides of that war feel OUR wrath."

"With Phoenix doing most of the Ancient Magic for us, he will be the one to work behind the scenes," said Hermione. "I have no problem being one of the warriors that goes out and causes a little problem here and there for the two opposing forces. The more we can make them fight amongst themselves, the better it will be for us. We want to ensure that many of these people that are on our list get out of Britain safely. Europe will eventually fall, but we want to make sure that Britain gets wiped out as it is the seat of power for both morons. As it is, the muggle population has already been seriously decimated in the British Isles. The Dark Lord slaughters them like cattle."

"Everything will happen as it's supposed to happen," stated Vernon. "We can get things like muggle weapons to assist us in defending our personal areas that we start to take over. The more we defend, the more they fall. Even a witch and wizard will fall if a bullet is put through their head. I know what I'm looking for if someone wants to take me to the locations to get the weapons that we non-magical folks need for our part."

"I was a marksman in the service of the Queen's army," said Dan. "I can shoot just as well as Athena can cast a spell. We can start working on taking down some of the opposing forces. All you have to do is make a list of those that need to be put down for good and we can come up with a plan for wiping out their very existence."

"I know that some of the people on this list mean the world to Harry," said Petunia. "However, from what Athena says, some of them are better protected than others. We have to work on the weakest ones first and get the stronger ones after. Once we have them all, then we can let it known that hell has come to earth. By all of us working together, we can accomplish anything."

"Then let's get started," said Harry from the doorway. "The sooner we put some of these plans in motion, the sooner we can have OUR army. "Let's move out. Ice King and Ice Queen grab an elf of your choice and let's get to work. Firebird will send a message to Severus that Dragon is to be ready at all times to move out. Don't worry about paying Ollivander. King and Gob will take care of that for us. They want us to succeed. Ollivander will eventually follow us. The more we can use the Ancient Magic and the Elemental Magic, the better chance we will have of succeeding. I want Coot and Hades destroyed. First I want to wipe out THEIR armies. Some of our so called friends are nothing but wolves in sheep's clothing. Let's make them suffer for their atrocities."

With a nod, everyone got on the move and made their way to their sections. Each person had their jobs to do and they were going to make sure that they did it efficiently and quietly. It was time for them to take back their lives. No more were they pawns for the opposing forces to use. They were their own person and they followed the Phoenix all the way.
