Chapter Two: Army of Justice
The Poll needs to be voted on! Voting will end on by Mid October if not sooner.
"Dumbledore, you gotta know this, Harry just reactivated the Army of Justice!"
"This could prove to be good. Very well, Alastor, keep an eye on him. Don't let him make his move just yet."
"I'm afraid I can't do that. I might owe you Albus, but before I'd ever known you outside of Hogwarts, I was a member of the Army of Justice. The leader, no matter whom, or what age, has my loyalty first and foremost."
"Very well. I can see that their is no changing your mind. Good luck Alastor."
"i'll make contact when I can."
Five people made their way into the Conference Room at the Citadel, the Headquarters for the Army of Justice. They sat, staring at the others, all of them wearing the Rank of General. The door opened and a house elf shouted out, "High General Potter on deck!"
The five stood. "As you were. Now that we are here, I'm going to provide some memories. Please save your comments until the end." Harry placed the memories of his first year, second year, third year, and his fifth year encounters with Voldemort in a pensieve, tapped it with his wand, and waited for the people in the room to finish them. Once they had he held a hand up preventing them from saying anything. "Here is how this is going to work. I'm going to point to you, you are going to tell me your name, rank, specialty and what you do, and what you think should be done." He pointed to the man closest to him.
"My name is Ryan Smith, and I'm the General of Logistical Command. I handle the logistics, recruitment, troop division, pay, etc. I think that we're going to need a very big army and quickly. I also think that you should get R&D on that memory from your Second Year." he sat down.
"My name is John Jones, a muggleborn, and I'm head of the Department of Research and Development. I'll get into looking into how that diary did what it did, and what that shade was. I'll also see if we can't figure out how he survived that killing curse."
"My name is General Alastor Moody, and I'm your ground commander. I'm in charge of all combat troops, and to some extent, the Logistical Command Division. I agree with General Smith, we need to recruit and fast. We need some front liners, we need some people who aren't afraid of getting their hands wet with the blood of the Death Eaters. We also need some new blood in the R&D."
"My name is Alexander James. I'm the head of Internal Security. I handle your protective detail, and dealing with all traitors, and other matters not exactly important at this point in time. This is really out of my league, but before we can do anything we have to get the information that You-Know-Who is back, out to the public. We have the capabilities of producing the Usual War Magazine, updating readers on the War, when we're involved. If you could do an interview, then I could send it to all the old subscribers."
"My name is General Hailey Langworth, and I'm the CIC for all Ariel units. My unit is typically charged by Logistics to get the combat troops to and from the front lines, evacs, search and Rescue, search and recover, etc. If it has to do with the Air, we can do it. Since you reactivated all members of the Army of Justice, we should be good on the Ariel side for a bit. But I'd suggest securing the most obvious of places first. Putting some of the I.S. in the Ministers office. Both. Thanks to the Original Ministry Charter, written by Merlin himself, the Potter families Army of Justice cannot be charged with Vigilantism, but that doesn't mean we can't be charged with other crimes, we will need to be extremely careful."
"My name is Charles Moon, and I'm the head of the Public Relations Division. That includes the Solicitors needed to get our men out of tight spots. They say all is fair in love and war, but they don't say anything about after. I'm going to work with I.S. as we really are just an off-branch that falls loosely under them. But we need to get the word out, secure hotspots, and warn the rest of the Wizarding World."
"Sounds like a plan to me. You know what needs to be done, so get it done. If you have to come to me to get me to approve of every little detail, then you won't stay for long. Now, I suppose that the first person I'm going to need to talk to is Director James, and Moon. Once that is done, I will meet with General Smith, Moody, and Langworth. Director Jones, you will be last."
"Milord, you are a the last Potter, and the leader of the Army, as well as a leader of the light, as such, I must inform you that on the matter of a protective detail, you frankly do not have a choice. We work much like the American Muggle Secret Service. We protect you, and your heir, the Lady Elizabeth, and the top Generals, and their families. When we were at our peak, we could protect the entire top staff, but we'll make do with what we have for now." James said. He'd been trying for the last half-hour to get his boss to except it.
"Lord Potter, if I may. I simply need your permission to begin recruiting in Diagon Alley, If i know Alastor, Ryan and Hailey, they'll already be halfway through a training program for your army. I've got enough recruiters, I just need you to sign off saying we are officially able to recruit. It's to protect us from Fudge."
"Very well. To both of you. Make sure that Mandy gets the paperwork, I will sign it this afternoon when I can get back into the office. Send the others in."
"You three would have a better idea than me on who if what we have the manpower for at the moment."
"Sir, we need fresh blood, and bad. A good majority is past the fighting age, and would be best be used in training, recruitment, Public Relations- somewhere out of combat. Where they'd only see a little action, but enough to seem important." Moody said.
"Do we or do we not, currently have the manpower to secure Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade?"
"No. Not if you want to reliably secure them."
"Very well, I want reports on your troops, combat capabilities, and needed supplies on my desk within the week. I want you three to get a training program together. With Cedric's death having been so recent, a lot of angry recent graduates are going to be looking for revenge, and will take the first opportunity given to them. We shall be that opportunity. I want recruitment to rise, and quickly. I fear that this will be a long drawn out war. Now, it seems that these guards I must have, are here to get me too my Uncle's and then to meet with Baron Davenport. The Potters are an old family, and even in the Muggle World we are respected on a level usual only seen for those of royal blood. I will use that to my advantage should the revelation of magic happen due to this war. I will also try and see about securing some muggle weapons of war for R&D to improve."
"Sounds like a good plan to me. Sir." Moody said.
Harry got into the muggle car, and waited. What would normally take several hours, only took one, but in that time, Harry did a lot of thinking, and knew, that he'd only offer shelter once, relocation once, and that'd be the end of his help for the relatives who hated him so much.
"Sir, we're approaching Private Drive now."
"Very well Tristan. Very well." Harry took a breath and prepared to give his relatives their final out.
