Here we go.
"SILENCE!"
The news of the Azkaban being broken open sent the room into a panic, people were moving around trying to get things done.
"There is nothing that can be done now," Harry continued to speak as he wrote. "Voldemort did this today to ruin our Christmas. As I understand it, the break out wasn't planned till after the new year?" here he looked at Snape. "Right Severus?"
"Correct Lord...Harry, I have none of the potions ready for their recovery, and he knows this." The potion master replied. The room was shocked, more about how calmly Snape and Harry used each other's names, then they were about the breakout or what Ginny had just done.
"How long before you are called?" Harry asked. He finished writing on one parchment and handed it to the Goblin that had been doing a lot of his running who quickly took it to the hanging form of Sirius. He held out the form, then remembered to turn it upside down to allow the Dogfather to sign whatever it was.
"He knew I was needed for a meeting with Dumbledore today, so a few more hours," Snape replied.
"Ok everyone, grab a chair and listen, I don't have time for the details, just some quick notes."
Everyone moved to get closer, Arthur stayed next to the couch and took his wife's hand she was still in shock over Ginny.
"When I go to sleep, here is what I want you to do: Neville you need to get a wand that works for you, your Father's doesn't,"
"No problem," Neville replied.
"You too Ginny, your grandmother's wand only works about sixty percent for you."
"Yes, Master," she replied.
"Going to be hard getting used to that," Harry said shaking his head.
"Don't worry, Ginny will help you," Luna replied as she giggled.
"Tonks, Remus, Sirius when he is finally allowed down, and Alastor, I need you to get with Ron and Hermione to plan the DA training including physical and non-magic combat training."
"Harry," Snape started. "I have a Slytherin that could help with that. He plans to join the ICW Battle Mages after he graduates, so he has a hatred for Dark Wizards and has been wanting into your group."
"But he is Slytherin?" Ron argued.
"Ron, don't be prejudice just because they are Slytherin, that was Sirius's mistake," Harry growled as he pointed to his silenced Dogfather. "Slytherin was an Auror, the Auror that wrote the original codex that later became the Auror manual. When can we meet with him?"
"After Christmas," Snape nodded as he replied.
Ron was silent, Luna just gave him a one arm hug, "We learn new things every day, it's part of growing up."
"Ok, now time for the brass tacks," Harry started. "Tom Riddle made multiple Horcruxes. For details about what they are, ask Albus later. In short, he tore his soul apart, putting the pieces in a form of soul container. As long as one of them is still around, he can't die."
Harry started speaking faster and in clear pain, slowly he reached for the small vial on the desk.
"Harry is it wise? That stuff is deadly, and I don't know how much you've already had." Snape voiced as he reached to stop Harry's hand.
"Four doses and you're right...back to the topic," Harry said as he pulled his hand back.
"The diary from the chamber was one, we know that the snake," here he motioned to Arthur. "Is a second...and I am a third."
Naturally, everyone gasped.
"Murder is required to make these things, it is believed that he planned to use my death to make one. Our guess is he planned to make seven."
Harry was starting to pant now; his right hand had started to swell up more.
"Which means we have to find the others. My connection is based on the Horcrux he doesn't know about. The one in me was not complete, so with the help of the Goblins, we have modified it. Ask...them...about...that...later."
As he spoke about the objects, Kreature had gone stiff with a look of recognition. "Master Harry?" the Black family elf spoke.
"Yes...Kreature?"
"I believe I have one of these containers," the Elf spoke causing the room to go silent.
"Can you get it now?" Harry asked. The magic radiated off his form as the Elf nodded.
"Take my son with you and bring it," Ragnok spoke for the first time since Albus's oath.
A Goblin ran forward with a rune-covered box and the two vanished in a blink.
"If it is one," Albus spoke finally. "We will need the sword of Gryffindor, it was impregnated with the venom of the Basilisk."
The elf and the Goblin returned holding the box.
"Now Kreature, how did you get this?" Harry asked as Fawkes flamed away.
Kreature told the story of Master Reggie, "But Kreature failed. Kreature could not destroy it, so Kreature set it in the Black manor with defenses. Believe it must be opened in order to destroy it." Kreature finished.
"You have done well Kreature," Harry replied. Just then Fawkes returned with the Sorting Hat, "Are you ready to complete your master's request?"
The elf nodded and gave a squeak as Harry put the Sorting Hat on the elf's head. A few minutes later the elf removed the hat and reached in, what he pulled out was not the ruby encrusted sword of Godric Gryffindor, but a single-handed, curved blade with emeralds in the hilt and a serpent engraved with runes along the blade.
"Hexen-bane," Ragnok spoke in awe. "Forged in the depths of Kazema for Salazar Slytherin, tempered in the venom of Estrella, Slytherin's familiar, destroyer of more dark wizards, creatures, and objects then all others combined."
Harry finally stopped writing as the last piece of parchment was removed. He tried to stand, but almost fell till Ron and Neville caught him, his hand was now so swollen the skin was splitting and blood started to leak out.
"Perfect, Kreature take it to the center I will open it."
Kreature obeyed and put the box down and slowly pulled the locket out, putting it on a stone pedestal that formed. Everyone started to move closer till they were stopped by what looked to be fifty Goblins all carrying tall tower shields.
"It will fight Kreature, I can feel it's hatred and malice from here. When I open it, do not hear anything it says, do not see anything it shows, strike." Harry ordered
Kreature stood ready as Harry spoke in parseltongue 'open', the locket clicked open. The witnesses were protected from its eyes, so a foul mist started to rise out of the object. The hate, anger, and malice that radiated off the thing caused everyone to cringe in fear.
"BURN IN THE BLACK FIRES OF HELL! Kreature shouted as he brought the blade down.
The explosion knocked everyone down except the Goblins with the shields, though they were shaken. Kreature had been blown back the twenty feet between the pedestal and the shield wall. Once everyone could feel the malice of the locket vanish, they knew it was dead. Kreature didn't move at first. When a few Goblins moved towards him, he finally stood up and marched with purpose back to the locket.
"For Master Reggie, the honor of the Black family, and for Salazar Slytherin," Kreature then spoke in elf, no one knew what he said but all could feel it was a curse word that could make most blush.
"Good Kreature, rest for the night, and if you feel up to it, begin your mission," Harry spoke in pure exhaustion. "Everyone, I will see you in five days. I will be at Potter Manor till then. Mistress Grenol, I am all yours," and with that Harry passed out.
A female Goblin hurried out of the shadows and took Harry from the boys and vanished with him.
"Ok people," Ginny shouted. "We have things to do and no time to do them in. Kreature rest for as long as you need, and only start your other mission when you are ready," the elf just nodded. "Sirius, you will hang there till you reach twenty-four hours straight, see you tomorrow. Neville meet me at the wand shop. Dad you will need to return to St. Mungo's, if for appearances only." here she stopped as she looked at her mother.
"Petal, Blossom," Neville called out and two female elves showed up. "Take Mrs. Weasley to Longbottom Manor, make her comfortable, and prepare other rooms. I am having the Weasley family for Christmas."
"Aberforth, we will need to speak with you soon, Harry has a plan that's so crazy it has to work. Twins...NO PRANKING THE DURSLEYS! by order of Lord Harry James Potter. He has his own plans for them."
As she spoke, people were moving. The twins looked upset but even they knew crossing a Lord was a bad idea. They just hoped he let them help.
"Nothing revealed here is to be spoken to anyone else and don't speak about it in public, not even the Patil's Hermione,"
Hermione paused blushed and turned, "How do-"
"You talk in your sleep," all the Weasleys spoke as one except Molly who had just been taken by the two Longbottom elves, Hermione's blush was even deeper.
Ginny looked at the Order members, "Get back to the school, play dumb. Umbridge is probably freaking out. Remus, Tonks, Alastor find the rest of the Order. Keep the guard on the Hall of Prophecies going but tell them to stay safe. Yes, we know about it. Harry will give all the info when he wakes." they nodded, and Ginny saw Albus looking defeated again.
"Albus, you have years of experience, wisdom, and knowledge. You just let it get away from you. Harry will see you in five days, go rest."
The headmaster gave a weak smile and stood to leave.
"And send Madam Pomfrey to Potter Manor if she finds out about this. After we return, she will keep Harry in the hospital wing for a month 'for observation. Might as well let her start her treatment now." she smiled as she saw Albus give a small chuckle.
Soon everyone was gone and only Ginny, Snape, Luna, and Ragnok stood in the room.
"Can you handle taking orders?" Ginny asked as she looked at the potion master.
"For my treatment of Harry, I should take that oath."
"Your choice Severus, but if Harry required it, he would have already gotten it. He does have a punishment planned for your actions." Ginny replied "Ready?"
Snape nodded.
"When called, go. Do everything in your power to heal them up quickly, do not half-ass it. You will see Kreature there, he is there on Harry's order. Our enemy right now is the ministry. Whatever Tom is planning won't happen until May or June, and his trap is already broken. So now we deal with Fudge and Umbridge. Now your punishment starts when classes return...and that is you will begin TEACHING potions at Hogwarts."
Snape stood up straight and gave a nod, his hand moved to his left arm and he just turned and left.
Ragnok nodded and smiled as Luna quietly came to Ginny gave her a hug and then linked her arm with her redheaded friend.
"Told you plan B was not so bad." the blonde giggled.
"True, not mad, are you?"
"No, Harry and I were only going to be great friends but nothing romantic or intimate. Now let's go get you your wand and then you and I will sneak off to Madam Malkin's backroom. Get you ready for when our dragon wakes up." Luna smiled as Ginny blushed and just chuckled.
"You, my lovely moon, are an evil tease."
