A/N Chapter 3 of A Wizards Judgement


Chapter 3-Destruction of Potter Manor 2.0

Hadrian's P.O.V

I rushed through the flames of the floo network,not knowing what to expect. First those Death eater scum invaded Draco's manor and then they dared to attack Longbottom manor! Then they had the guts to start attacking my home, I don't think that they will get that far in their attack.

I arrived through at the other side, only to see the living rooms wall that faced outside blown up, the glass from the windows was scattered across the floor, Draco was standing where the massive hole was, looking past the destroyed wall at the several shadowy figures walking towards the manor, all of them at their wands raised, ready at attack at a second.

Even though they were still quite far away, I could still hear what Ronald said, "Harry Potter is mine! Malfoy Jr is Lucius's! The rest are open season!" There were laughs of agreement across the crown of death eaters. I pressed My hand to a silver charm on my wrist and brought it up to my face and said "Code Red: level black! I repeat, Code Red: Level Black"

The charm was charmed to send messages between the different charms, I had made them for my team to be used in emergencies only such as this, this was actually the first time that we had to use them since I became the leader of my team. I said to Draco "Let's go cause them some hell Draco! We can't let them reach the kids, Tracy or Astoria!"

He grinned and said as my team arrived around the death eaters, "Give them hell Boys!" I immediately sent a 'Expelliarmus' at Ronald who put up a protego, blocking my attack, He growled at me and cast a Sonorus on himself, he yelled "Come on Hadrian, you can do better than that!"

I yelled "Incendio!" sending a wave of fire at him that he just rolled out of the of. He laughed and yelled "what were you telling Mr Tramp yesterday, Hadrian? that he should aim better?" who do you think that Auror was that approached you and malfoy was? we both know that you assign unspeakables to alert you about your friends manor being invaded."

Blaise rolled over to me and said, "Harry, we won't be able to last long like this, even the idiots are powerful!" He rolled out of the way and yelled 'Incendio Consumtum maximam' making a large flame come out of his wand towards Lucius who moved it out of the way with his weird cane/wand and sent towards one of my unspeakables, burning him alive, He was called Shaun and he was one of our newest member, he was only 23.

Ronald summoned a broomstick to him and Lucius and they took off for the other side of the manor, I was about to run after them when I was stopped by a 'Bombarda' at my feet by Goyal Sr? both look so similar and both were idiotic as each other, Father like son.

I sent a 'Sectumsempra' at his chest causing him to scream out in pain as hundreds of cuts appeared across his body one after another at a extremely fast rate, Blaise looked at me shocked so I just said, "Protecting my Family will always be by number 1 priority and if I have to use spells that I swore never to use again to, see them again."

I heard a scream from the upper floor of the manor and a shout of 'Advera Kedavra' I heard Tracy scream and shout "Astoria!", then a "Kids gets into the room Now!" Blaise yelled to me and Draco "Go, we will handle these Cronies, go and protect your children."

I looked at Blaise and said, "Are you sure, Do you think that you will be able to hold them off?" He rolled out of the way and said, "We should be able to, just go Harry, save your family!" He yelled "Bombarda" hitting one of the death Eaters.

We ran over to the staircase where I heard Ronald say "Open the door to the room where the children are, you whore!" Tracy was standing at the top of the staircase with her wand ready. She screamed at him and said "You will never get to my kids! you won't harm them or the Malfoy kids." Lucisus malfoy laughed and said "Poor Girl, you think you stand a chance against two Purebloods! Ha, your just a pathetic Half-blood!"

Ronald yelled "If you won't open the door to the children then I will just have to kill you now!" The next words terrified me as he uttered the one spell that I never expected him to use 'Advra Kedavra!' I saw the light of the green spell reflect off the wall before hitting Tracy, she fell backwards and fell down the stairs, going between me and Draco stopping right at the bottom of the stairs, her neck broken from the fall, even if it hadn't been the killing curse that had hit, she would have still died from the fall.

I ran upstairs and yelled "You Bastard! You killed Tracy! You killed the women that I loved" with tears pouring down my eyes. Ronald and Lucius were both just standing there, Astoria slumped against the wall.

Before anyone could do anything, Draco ran up behind me and aimed his wand at his father and yelled "This is for my wife!" In a couple of seconds he muttered 'diffindo' it went straight towards Lucius and hit him diagonally through the chest. The two halves of him fell to the floor, a look of shock frozen on his face forever.

As soon as the three of us recovered from the shock, Ronald yelled 'Incendio' so I countered him with a 'Aguamenti' the water put out the flames, I then quickly moved and shot a 'stupefy, Reducto' combo at him, The two spells hit him directly in the chest, he was knocked out before being blasted out of the manor Via The Master bedroom.

I walked over to it and looked through the door, only to see a gaping hole as the entire room was destroyed. The room that I had slept in with my wife for 12 years was gone...just like she was.

I looked down and the room below was gone too, the floor in pieces in the basement below that, the outer wall destroyed just like the old master bedroom, I turned to face Draco who was kneeling down next to Astoria's body crying, I went over to the top of the stairs, seeing Tracy's dead body lying at the bottom limply, I walked back downstairs only too see that is was a complete mess as the battle moved inside.

Several members of my team were dead on the floor while the Death Eaters seemed to have only lost a few members, at the moment I felt my heart start to get heavy as I started to think that it was my fault that most of my team was dead, one of my team even had a large wooden spike through him, from the table.

However, I knew now was not the time to let any guilt get to me, I had to stop these death eaters before anyone else could die, I helped out one of my team by sending a Sectumsempra his way, unfortunately, the member of my team was hit by the killing curse a few seconds later, The guilt rising up inside of me, I pushed it away, while I continued to help my team.

From downstairs I heard an explosion from upstairs and outside, I ran up stairs worried for my children. I ran to the door that Draco was trying to bang open which led into the twins room. The Oak of the door glowing a slightly different colour to the other doors in the house indicating that there was a charm on it.

I started banging on the door, begging for one of my children to let me in, I heard what I thought was the killing spell be uttered. Just as I was about to make the door turn to dust, one of the twins Dana twisted the door handle, opening the door slightly, I then felt door get heavy as I tried to open it more as Dana slumped forwards against it.

Perseus was lying on one of the beds, eyes wide open, dead. The second Twin Dana was lying slumped against the door, missing an arm and a foot. Draco's middle son, Scorpious was Dead against a wall, while Leo the youngest was bleeding heavily. Ronald was standing by the burst open wall, one hand holding Jason by his neck and his other hand had his wand aimed at Jason's neck.

I put my hands up and said "I'l do whatever you want, just don't hurt Jason" He grinned madly like the Psychopath that he was, his red hair flowing freely as the wind came through the open wall, He said "really! The great Hadrian Potter bowing down to me for once, Ha what ever did I do to deserve this Honor!" I gritted my teeth as he mocked me.

I said "What do you want Ronald!" while gritting me teeth, he looked at me and said "Marry Ginny, she loves you so much, and she has always wanted a family. Then Give me your eldest daughter wherever she is." I growled at what he said, But I knew it was the best chance of my youngest son surviving so I said "Fine, I agree to your terms Ronald"

He looked at me Gleefully and said, "Good, I thought you would see it my way" He then quickly said 'Diffindo' the spell went right through Jason's neck, killing him in a instant. His head falling to the floor, His body falling limp. I cried out, tears pouring down my face "You Bastard!"I yelled 'Sectumsempra' he cried out in pain and fell several feet to the ground as he stumbled backwards in pain, breaking his neck. I cried out "That was for my Wife and my children you bitch!"

Draco ran into the room and saw Scorpious dead and Leo bleeding out, he ran over to Leo and said "Son, don't go towards the light yet, please stay with me, I can heal you" Leo coughed up blood as his father spoke, Leo whispered "Daddy. please don't leave me." Draco hushed his son, his hand holding his head, "Don't worry son, you will soon be with your mum and brother, just rest"

Leo eyes slowly closed for the last time, not opening again. Draco had tears streaming down his face, he said "Harry, we are going to make sure the rest of those death eaters pay!" I nodded and said "We will make the rest of them wish that they had never been born." I put a hand on his shoulder before going over to both of the twins and closing their eyes.

Once Draco has stopped crying, we both stood up and left the room, the last of my unspeakables were slowly coming up the staircase defending against the Death Eater cronies who obviously didn't know their leaders were dead because back when Voldemoret was still about, these guys couldn't do anything without somebody telling them to do.

I took one last good look at the death eaters and saw two snatchers, one of the Goyale's left and one of the crabble's , the elder one, which really was a surprise. Unfortunately there was no Nott, but I will hunt him down and make him pay. I yelled at my team "Get behind me now! Eclipse, Echo, put up a shield in front of me and Draco!" the remaining members of my team ran up the last remain stairs and Eclipse and Echo did what I asked.

I said to Draco "We said we would show them hell, let' give them a little teaser first." For the first time in 15 years I saw a dark grin appear on his face, "Friendifire? I nodded and at the exact same time, we started to wave our wands, and yelled 'Fiendfyre' Two massive fiery creatures came out of our wands, the cursed fire shaping into magical beasts in front of us.

My cursed fire shaped into a Thunderbird, it was the same as my patronus and it was my main Anmangius form, while being an magical Animangus was rare, it wasn't unheard of, just very rare. I Hadn't discovered my animangus form yet when my Patronus changed in my 8th year at Hogwarts, there I discovered that Tracy had the same Patronus although she ended up not being able to turn in a animagius.

Using the memories of my wife and children along with the pure will to get back to Cassandra, My Cursed fire got larger, At the bottom of the stairs, the death eaters were shaking, they knew that they couldn't run. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Draco shape his Cursed fire into a Large Basilisk, similar to the one that I fought 21 years ago.

I turned my head to face him and said over the blaze of the cursed fire "Ready?!" He nodded his head so i counted down "3...2...1...Release!" The cursed fire stopped coming out of our wands and we jabbed it towards the death eaters. A couple of seconds later there were several screams as the Death Eaters were burnt alive by the cursed fire. The flames kept on going and went all the way to the woods a few miles away before stopping.

Luckily I had placed anti-muggle wards around that forest because it where I get all of the Potter family animals, like a herd of Thestrals, Thunderbirds and Hippogriffs but thankfully I had moved them to Marauder manor recently so I could open that forest to the muggles.

A few seconds later, Prime Minister Granger looked around the damaged manor and called for some medics. Within a couple of minutes, there were about 25 medics on scene rushing around the manor, trying to heal as many as possible, unfortunately for them, both sides used spells that we knew would kill the other.


25 Minutes later

As soon as the medics had finished healing my team, myself and Draco they left, getting back to St Mungos which was apparently very busy tonight as several low-lives had caused distractions which delayed the Auror's from getting here immediately and that many bystanders were hit by spells during these distractions.

Headmistress McGonagal conjured up several couches for myself, Draco, Prime Minister Granger, herself, and my boss to sit down on, I said to my team "Head home guys, take as much time off as you guys need." I got a lot of nods and thank you, and withing a few minutes there were 7 pops as the remainder of my team apperated away.

I called for Winky, who appeared and I hugged her saying "Thank god your alive, Winky! Can you go and get us some coffee and Tea Winky from Marauder Manor and let Cassandra Alexandria know that myself and Draco are safe" She nodded her head up and down and said "Right away sir!"

Headmistress McGonagal summoned a large table and within a few minutes, Winky brought out a few cups of tea and to cups of coffee for myself and Draco. We were silent for a few minutes before Minister Granger started, "Although the outcome of what happened here is quite obvious, I need to what happened during this...unfortunate incident."

I started with the raid a few days ago and how we found that a red headed man had alerted Nott that we were coming and that Nott bolted, we then went on to talk about the meeting with the minister and how we learned that Ronald, Lucius and some death eaters had escaped, then how we were told that Malfoy Manors Wards had fallen, then us going home getting drunk and myself seeing a man with red hair outside before passing out.

We then quickly detailed the battle, how Ronald and Lucius ended up killing our wives and children apart from Cassandra and Alexandria who were out of the country at the moment at Marauder manor. Throughout the entire retelling, my boss Cranson was writing everything down in full written form, not missing a word that we said out.

Once we finished, headmistress McGonagal said "Wait you said you got drunk? If I remember correctly, even after the battle of Hogwarts did you get drunk, the two of you drank lots of butterbreer but never got drunk" Minister Granger nodded, I shook my head and said "I don't actually know why we would have alchol, I mean maybe if Longbottom Manor had been destroyed but it was only Malfoy Manor that had been invaded."

I then said "Hang on a moment, I got the urge to have a drink just before we entered the floo! Just before that, I thought I saw Charlie with his long hair BUT that wouldn't make any sense because at this time of year, he is in Romania! Not only that but when we saw Ronald tonight, he actually looked a lot like Charlie!"

Minister Granger's face then lit up "Of Course! If you felt a sudden need for a drink then it might have been a compulsion charm and Ronald in all of his Idiotic tendencies got quite good at charms before he was sent to Azkabang 11 years ago! That would mean that the compulsion charm would urge you to drink until you were drunk and that you wouldn't notice him and Lucius when they were spying on your house!"

Cranson then raised his voice and said, "One problem with that, why would a charm placed on Harry and Draco, affect Tracy and Astoria as well?" That was when professor McGonagal intervened "It would affect them if it had instead been placed on a item and had an area of effect!" My eyes widened and I said, well it could have been any of the items that were destroyed by our Fiendfyre, I mean it left a large trail of destruction and turned the death eaters to dust and bones,"

Cranson then disappeared and Hermione said some spell to change her clothes from her robes, into some muggle clothes and all the stress dropped from her shoulders, she said "I'm speaking as Hermione Granger here Harry, Not the Prime Minister or as you say Minister Granger. I know I have no right to say this after the way I have treated you in the last 12/13 years but I'm so sorry, I know that the one thing that you have always wanted is family and Ronald has just gone and torn away the family that you made for yourself."

A tear went down her face, "I don't know whether it was my feelings that made me get so angry with you all those years ago about marring Tracy or whether I was angry because Ginny was right there for you and that she has had a crush on you for years, but I'm sorry and on this night in particular, I have really no right to ask you what i'm about to ask you, but could you find it within yourself to forgive me?"

I stood up and said calmly "No you don't have any right to ask for forgiveness tonight, but I accept you apology...and...At the moment I could do with as many friends as I can, so Hermione of course I forgive you."

I opened my arms and she ran into them, I wrapped my arms around her, he bushy hair was back for the first time in years and I just held onto her, allowed her to start crying into me as she apologized over and over again. Headmistress McGonagal ended up letting Draco hug her, which was honestly something that I never expected to see, but tonight was always something.

I suddenly felt the caffeine in my system wear off and said "Actually Draco, do you know where Daphne is? Draco shrugged his shoulders when Headmistress McGonagal said "She came to Hogwarts, she is currently sleeping in one of the guest bedrooms."

Hermione then asked "Where do you planning on staying tonight Harry, Draco?" I looked at Draco and said "We will probably stay at marauder Manor in Greece for a while, it's where Cassandra and Alexandria are at the moment."

Hermione then went and asked "Do you mind if I stay there? my home was destroyed by one of those low lives and I would rather not go to the Weasly household and have to tell Molly that you killed her little 'Ronnykins' I nodded my head and said "Sure, it is a manor!"

She then said "Is that just something that has happened, that all pure-bloods and half-bloods own multiple manors?"she said with a small laugh. I told her and Draco to hold on and apperated away with them to Marauder manor.


5 Minutes later -Marauder Manor

The three of us were halfway up the path to the Manor when Hermione finally commented on something that I had honestly thought that she would ask much earlier, "Wow it really looks well Greek" I laughed and said "Yeah well we are on a Greek island!" The doors then suddenly bolted open and out came Cassie and Alex.

They were running at full speed and crashed into myself and Draco respectively, Cassie asked, "Dad, wheres mum, The twins or..." A tear rolled down my face as I said, "They...didn't make it, the death eaters were much stronger than we expected"

Cassie started crying into me, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Alex break down as Draco told her the fate of their family. I just held onto her, brushing her hair with my hand, I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around me and I started walking further up the path, wanting to get inside.

When we got in, I walked straight up to her room and tucked her in to the bed, something that I hadn't had to do in about 6 years, during the walk up she had fallen asleep so trying to get her in was slightly difficult.

Draco also put Alexandria into a bed in the room across from Cassie, I then headed downstairs where Hermione had her head in a book like she always did when we were at Hogwarts, and just like those times, she was reading 'A Hogwarts History'. I walked over to the couch that I had been on earlier this day when I was playing with Cassie, Draco and Alex.

Charlus was looking down at me from his portrait, Doera was fast asleep next to him. He asked me, "I'm assuming that the rest of your family didn't make it son" I shook my head at him and said "No, barley anybody survived the encounter granddad, Myself, Draco and about 7 members of my team survived and we were all pretty beat up from the fight"

Charlus shook his head in disappointment, if he could I'm pretty sure he would be crying right now, He stared right at me, "Hadrian, son, your primary job now should be raising the last member of family that you have left, Cassandra is the last family you have left, you can not lose her" I nodded my head and replied "Don't worry Granfather, she is my world now"

He nodded and closed his portrait eyes, falling asleep. When I looked back at Hermione, she had put the book down and said "You've changed, The way that you sit, they way that you act around people, you've really changed" I smiled and said, "I had Tracy who was able to tell me things about this world that we live in that I would have never known without her, did you know that Ronald kept more than we thought?"

She nodded her head and said "Like the fact that Muggleborns couldn't get in as minister of magic until ex-minister Shacklebolt changed the laws, yep" I smiled at her through her a book about politics, "This was written by a friend of mines in America, It's based on how a No-Maj-born can join politics and help change things, without insulting pure-bloods, it would have been useful for you before you started making changes in the ministry that pissed off the pure-bloods and many half-bloods. But I guess we are a tad to late for that."

She laughed and said "I guess in my anger at you and Neville stopped me from thinking things out" Then from the top of the manor's staircase came laugh from Draco "You think, You really mucked up with those changes, Granger! Harry Daphne said that she would be arriving any minute"

I gave him a very confused look and said "Wait how the hell will she know where to go!" In a flash of green light I got my Answer "Because I'm the Ice Queen Harry deer, I know everything." She paused and then said "That and I was best friends with Tracy and you know that she could never keep anything from me"

Draco, Daphne and myself started to laugh and Hermione looked around confused, I said to her "Tracy is famous for leaking almost everything to Daphne, the only thing that she didn't leak was the fact that she was pregnant with Cassandra and that is because she swore that she wouldn't tell anyone but me for about 3 months of her pregnancy"

Hermione grinned and said, "Where should I sleep for the night" I raised my hand and did a follow me signal, I got up and led her up the stairs and showed her the room that she would be stay, it was near mine and Tracy room when we stayed here.

Daphne went up to her room while me and Draco ended up sleeping on the couches because neither of us wanted to sleep in the beds that we had previously that our now dead wives shared with us.


The next morning I woke up at 7, I knew this because Charlus always woke up at 5 minutes past 7. A couple minutes later Cassie and Alex came down, both wearing dressing gowns and yawning, both of them looked knackered but then again I don't think any of us apart from Hermione who didn't lose any family last night.

Once we were all down, Winky served us all breakfast but I didn't enjoy it as much as I used to, I went and got changed before arriving back down at the living room, Cassie and Alex were cuddling into each other, Daphne was sunbathing outside while Draco and Hermione were reading, I sat down in a chair and started reading the last fiction book that Tracy had put out which was released last year.

After about half an hour, there was a large flash of red as fawkes appeared in the living room. "fawkes, what are you doing here, you haven't been seen by anyone since Dubledore died!" Fawkes cried out and handed me a letter with handwriting that I recognized from one of my old school books as newt Screwmanders.

It read:

Dear Mr Potter, Mr Malfoy, Mrs Longbottom, Miss potter and Miss Malfoy

Last night Fawkes felt you pain at the loss of those closest to you, My Wives and I deepest Apology. Fawkes was sent to live with me after Dumbledore's death, Dumbledore trusted me enough because of my help in the defeat of Grindelwald , that and the fact that I look after Magical creatures that is. The feather that rests in your Holly wand was actually one of three given to me by Fawkes after Grindelwald's defeat. I took one to replace my wand and a egg to raise a phoenix of my own. Anyway I ended up giving the other two feathers to Ollivander.

But the reason I really wrote this letter for was to tell you that it is not to late to safe your family, do you know the magical properties of a Phoenix Mr Potter?

You probably know the normal ones, rebirth, tears that can heal injuries, teleportation, fantastic Strength and his song. But there is one special ability that barley anyone knows about, an ability that even Dumbledore didn't know about. The reason that Phoenix's live forever is, that they can tap into the time-stream, they then manipulate the time-stream and return them to being a young phoenix with all their old memories.

That is what I want to tell youse about, you see I recently made a discovery, Phoenix's can take other beings into the time-stream and drop them of whenever they want, for example, Our dear Fawkes took me and Tina from the 24th of December 5 years ago and took us into the time-stream to the 1st of December.

With the lose of those ones closet to youse and the shit that this world has had to go through since Voldermort rose again (even after his permanent death) I have asked Fawkes to drop you off sometime in your early Hogwarts years, so you can change the world for the better.

Fawkes has agreed to it as long as youse agree to it too, if you agree, youse will have 10 minutes to pack everything that you want to take with you, Good luck!

After I finished reading it out, I looked around the room, Cassandra and Alex were grinning while Hermione looked annoyed, Draco and Daphne were both in deep thought, I said "What do ya say guys, go back in time and save the wizarding world before it become the thing that we know it as today?"

Cassie and Alex were grinning like mad "Time Travel! You can guess our response dad!" Of course those two would want to time travel, the chance to save their family and do something barley anyone had done before, Cassie would probably want to write some sort of time travel story if we did.

Hermione said "I wish I had know about this...but going back in time might be good, you could stop he-who-must-not-be-named from ever rising again!"

Daphne groaned and said "Granger, call him by his real name or his pseudo name, but stop with the fear, he's been dead for years now."

Draco then continued "But I do agree, it could be a good idea to go back in time, I might be able to save my little sister who was killed by my father when she was 10 and I was 14."

I nodded and said "So it's agreed, we all go back in time with Fawkes?" There was nods all around and I turned to face Fawkes, I nodded at him and said "Fawkes, we accept your offer" he sung and I called for Winky to get some Bacon for Fawkes while we all packed.

Within 9 minutes we were all back down at the hall and Winky was feeding Fawkes lots of Bacon and I said "Careful Winky, we don't need Fawkes dropping us of at some random place in the time-stream."

Fawkes sung out and I said "Alright Fawkes were ready!" We all placed one hand on each other and held on tightly, with the other on the stuff that we were bringing with us, Fawkes then grabbed my Shoulders and in a flash of red we were sent spiraling into the time-stream.

As we went through it, we saw key moments in all of our lives, then we reached us grownups years at Hogwarts, Fawkes then slowed down and dropped us just before we would have reached the Basilisk moment in the time-stream. We landed, face-front in the ground, I got up groaning and noticed that we were in the exact same place as we were when we left, with one noticeable difference, Marauder Manor was gone.


A/N There was chapter 4, hope you enjoyed. Longest chapter Yet! Please review and tell me what you think.

I didn't want to make Hermione a villain, so I showed that she was misguided and that a great tragedy to one of her oldest friends snapped her out of it.

Till next time, byee!
