Ok once again Thanks to my Beta Blacktag189 (Thanks Jen) I reference a few incidents involving Neville that happen in the prequel to this story, Ghost of You which was written by Blacktag189. So I recommend reading her story first. Even though our stories are different genres it's in the same canon.

Chapter 8- The Curse Breaker and the Bomb Maker

After Harry and Hermione parted ways with Rolf and Luna they decided to call it a day and head home to 3 Tower Street. Ginny was sitting on the couch flipping through the latest Quidditch Quarterly. Ginny was wearing a pair of short shorts and one of Harry's old Hogwarts T-Shirts. She had her hair pulled back into a ponytail. She looked up when she heard the familiar roar of the Floo. She jumped up and threw the magazine on the center sitting room table.

"Harry, your home!" Ginny said as she greeted him with a hug and a kiss and started to wipe the soot away from Harry's robes with her hand. Harry pulled her closer and kissed her back.

"Hmmm I was thinking about that all day," Harry said as he licked his lips and gave her that emerald stare that always makes her weak in the knees. "You look incredibly sexy, Gin."

Ginny gave him a smirk and pressed herself closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Where's Her…" Ginny asked at the same time Hermione stepped out of the Floo.

"And there she is." Ginny said having to mask her disappointment and unwrapped her arms from Harry.

"Hello Ginny, how was your day?" Hermione asked as she used a cleansing spell to banish the soot from her robes.

Ginny shrugged and blew out a breath. "Pretty boring actually. Went for a run and then spent the morning with Mum at the Burrow, helped her with the garden. She made us lunch and then I came back here. Just puttering around cleaning here and there. No excitement. I would have went to the shop if Ron and George were not in Spain setting up the new shop there. When they getting back Hermione?"

"Erm in the morning early I believe." Hermione walked towards the kitchen and removed her robes and hung them from one of the dining room chairs. "Tea?"

Harry nodded and Ginny said, "Sure, you need any help?" Hermione waved her off.

"I think a spot of tea will do to calm my nerves after that excitement this afternoon." Hermione explained as she started to fill the kettle with water.

Ginny wrapped her arms around Harry again and looked up at him and then realized what Hermione said. "Wait what excitement? What happened?"

"I should have known Harry hasn't told you yet?" Hermione answered and then silently cursed herself. She just realized what she let slip.

Ginny let go from Harry and then rounded on him. "Told me what?! Harry? Told me what?!"

"Thanks a lot 'Mione!" Harry looked at Hermione.

"My name is Her-Mi-one, not 'Mione. You know I hate that nickname." Hermione scolded Harry as she slammed the kettle on the stove.

"Why do you think I just used it, 'Mione" Harry answered not backing down from Hermione's wrath.

Hermione pulled her wand out and pointed it at Harry. "Just so you know Harry Potter, Ginny has been teaching me to perfect the Bat-Bogey Hex and I'm getting quite adequate using it!"

"Alright HERMIONE, I apologize." Harry put both of his hands in front of him. Hermione returned her wand to her back pocket.

"Um, hello, back to the question at hand. What happened Harry?" Ginny grabbed Harry's face and moved it to look at her. "You weren't involved with that business in Diagon Alley today?"

"No, we were not involved with that. We met with Rolf and Luna today in Wales." Harry hesitated. "W-We kind of had a run in with a river troll." Harry then looked down at his shoes. Ginny's face turned red and she let out an exasperated breath.

"What?" Ginny asked sharply as her stare would burn holes into Harry if they could.

"We were in Wales recruiting Rolf and Luna, and they accepted by the way, and we were attacked by a river troll. We also saw a Hornicus!" Harry said trying to change the subject.

Ginny didn't say anything for a few moments. She looked at Harry then Hermione. "Are you ok, did either of you get hurt?" she asked quietly but to the point.

"No we're fine Ginny." Harry answered and Hermione shook her head no. "We were able subdue and incapacitate it."

Ginny exhaled slightly and looked up at Harry and then rested her head on Harry's chest and Harry wrapped his arms around her. "I don't know how you seem to always be in the thick of it all the time Harry."

"Well, it wouldn't be me if I didn't try and find trouble." Harry said. There was a long pause and then Hermione snorted. Her face was turning red from her holding her laughter in.

Ginny then punched Harry in the arm. "It's not funny Harry, I'm serious!" Ginny said still trying to act upset. Hermione's task of trying not to laugh caused Ginny to chuckle and then Hermione lost it. Which in turn caused Harry to laugh as well. Suddenly, there was a tapping at the sitting room window. Harry looked up and saw there was a ministry owl at the window sill. Ginny walked over and open the window to let the owl in. The owl flew over and dropped a letter in Harry's hands.

"Who's it from Harry?" Ginny asked as she closed the window after the owl flew away.

Harry turned the envelope over and read the name. He looked at Hermione and then Ginny. "It's from Gabe McFarland." Harry said as he raised his right eyebrow.

"Who is Gabe McFarland? His name sounds familiar." Ginny asked playing with a couple of strands of her hair.

"He's the American Auror that we recruited for the Division." Harry responded as he took a seat at the kitchen table.

Ginny nodded to show she remembered and took a seat next to Harry. "Ahh yes now I remember, but in my defense Harry the beach excursion erased all other memories of that trip." Ginny then waggled her eyebrows at Harry. Hermione just turned red and shook her head. Hermione then used her wand to pour three cups of tea and then levitated them to the kitchen table.

Harry laughed and opened the letter and began reading. His eyes opened wider when he finished the letter. He then turned to Hermione who took the seat across from Harry and Ginny. "Gabe wanted to inform us the suspect he brought in today was murdered in one of the interrogation rooms!"

"What?!" Ginny and Hermione asked at the same time.

"Yeah he was, so far he was the only connection they had to the weapons and according to Gabe, he was also a suspect in the murdered witches case." Harry said as he took a sip of tea.

"Harry the fact that someone risked killing the suspect while in custody inside the Ministry, tells me he knew what was going on." Hermione said as she took Gabe's letter and read it herself.

"I agree, that's why we need to get our team together as quickly as possible. Events are moving faster than expected. The faster we get this team together and trained. The faster we can throw ourselves into this investigation. I just hope the Auror's can stem the tide until then. I need to speak with Bill." Harry said as he stood up and walked towards the fireplace.

"Why Bill?" Ginny asked.

"I want to let him know I want to speak to Dean. I don't want step on his toes, since Dean works for your brother." Harry answered as he grabbed a handful of Floo Powder.

"So you decided on Dean then?" Ginny asked as she looked at Harry.

"Is that ok? I know Bill raves about him." Harry said.

"No, I'm sure Bill will be fine with Dean joining, I mean he's brilliant." Ginny retorted and rolled her eyes. "I just hope he accepts. You too have always got along even after we broke up and I started dating you. So no awkwardness at all."

"Yea I don't expect their to be. It's not like I was trying to recruit Neville." Harry said quietly.

If he was being honest with himself his lingering anger about everything that had happened with Neville was starting to turn into guilt. Trying to sabotage his and Ginny's relationship during her last year of Hogwarts was inexcusable. But Neville had played such a big role in the downfall of Voldemort, first with the DA and then killing Nagini. As more time passed from their final blowout at the Yule Ball Harry felt more and more guilty about how he'd handled the situation. But then he'd seem some Jello and get angry all over again.

Harry was starting to feel a little guilty about Neville. Granted what Neville did was inexcusable, it still didn't help the fact Neville was a friend who stood by Harry against Voldemort. Neville definitely played a big role in the downfall of the Dark Lord. He kept up with the DA along side Ginny and Luna and he did kill Nagini, the final Horcrux. Harry was jealous of how Ginny only responded to Neville at first while she was at St. Mungo's and then the whole goddamn Jello thing. Harry in a way understood Neville's feelings for Ginny. Harry wasn't madly in love with her for no reason. It all surprised Harry that he missed Neville as a friend to a extant. Harry then decided to push that away for now and concentrate on the upcoming task at hand.

Harry walked over to the fireplace. He then threw the Floo Powder in and said. "Bill Weasley, Shell Cottage."

As Harry's head materialized in the fireplace in the sitting room at Shell Cottage he searched to see if Bill or Fleur was home.

"Bill?" Harry asked loudly.

"'Arry?" Fleur's voice rang out as she walked into the sitting room.

"Hey Fleur, sorry to disturb, I was hoping to speak with Bill for a moment?" Harry asked.

"Of course, ee's changing zee bébé." Fleur answered.

Then as if on cue Bill cried out from the back changing room. "How can all of this come out of one so small?!"

Fleur turned her head towards the back room and giggled.

"AHH! Fleur! Help! She wasn't done and she just redecorated my shirt! Oh! Oh! It's in my mouth, it's in my mouth!" Bill yelled in between dry heaving.

Fleur said something in French under breath. "Arry I'll be right back. Why don't you just come through and 'ave a zeet." She then turned and ran to help her husband. "Coming darling."

Harry busted out in laughter as he entered the sitting room from the a few minutes he saw Bill walk into the sitting room. He sat down next to Harry on the couch. He looked worse for wear.

"Give me Dementors, I'll even take thousand year old Egyptian curses over getting baby shite in my mouth." Harry then lost it. Bill smirked and giggled. "So Harry what can I do for you?'

"Well, I wanted to ask your permission to talk to Dean. I'm putting together a team…"

"Phoenix Division?" Bill asked.

Harry's eyes widened a bit. "How did you...your Dad?"

Bill nodded his head. "So you want to ask Dean to join?"

"Yes if that's ok?" Harry asked as he looked at the floor.

Bill put a hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry looked up at him. Having been around the Weasley's for about half of his life he understood the look Bill was giving him. He recognized it because it was the same look Arthur would give all of his children including Harry - instilling some comfort and understanding.

"Look Harry your family, so of course you can talk to Dean. He's my best trainee so far and I think he can do a lot to help you, but there's a catch." Bill said.

Harry looked at Bill and raised his eyebrows. "Ok what's the catch?"

"You need to meet with the Goblins and go over your finances. I can't keep them at bay any longer. You have to go through it and decide what you want to do. Now with the Black estate out of all the red tape after Bellatrix died. There are no other legal claims to it except Andromeda, but from what she says she has no interest in fighting Sirius's wishes. The goblins are chomping at the bit to help you invest it. I can only guess from the name and how persistent the goblins are it's a substantial sum." Bill let out a breath after his explanation.

Harry then stood up and started pacing in front of Bill. "I-I'm so sorry Bill, I had no idea they were burdening you with this."

Bill stood up and placed both hands in his pockets. "It's quite alright Harry, it's not been stressful at all just they have been annoying about it. I just don't know I can keep them from you much longer. I just didn't want to burden you any further with all that happened with Ginny, then your injury and now all this and also losing your partner. I was trying to find the right time and realized there really ever isn't any." Bill said with a shrug.

Harry stuck out his hand and Bill accepted it. "Alright Bill, first thing in the morning I'll meet with the goblins and then I'll speak with Dean."

Bill pulled Harry into a one armed hug and clapped his back. "Sounds like a plan."

Just then Fleur walked in with the baby. "Oh 'Arry would you like to hold her?"

Harry having had ample experience with Teddy, shrugged and held out his arms. Fleur transferred Victorie to Harry's waiting arms. "Go now leetle one to your Uncle 'Arry."

Harry pulled Victorie to his chest. "Hello Vic, I don't get to hold you as much especially when your Aunt Ginny is around." Harry chuckled.

"I always tell her when she stares at her magically painted walls, that her Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny painted it just for her." Bill said as he put an arm around his wife's waist. Harry then glanced at Fleur then blushed remembering that fateful day that he and Ginny got caught by Fleur in a state of undress after they finished painting the walls and were putting in the hardwood flooring.

Then Harry's eyes went wide when he first felt then smelled what Victorie had done. "Ahh Bill, your daughter gave you another surprise." Harry grimaced.

"Oh you gotta be bloody kidding me!" Bill exclaimed.

HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHHPHPHPHPH

"Harry again why do you want me to come with you?" Ginny asked as Harry, Hermione, and herself stepped out into Diagon Alley from the entrance of 3 Tower Street. Harry grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers.

"Because I don't want to go through this alone." Harry said as they walked toward Gringotts. Diagon Alley was unusually crowded for a Thursday morning. After yesterday's excitement most of the Alley closed early to clean up and people were showing up to get their shopping done that they couldn't do last night. The shops were beginning to open and welcoming their first patrons of the day. There was no evidence of the damaged done the previous day. It had been repaired and looked like that the fight through the street had never happened.

"Alright you two. I'm off to see Ron at the shop. They got back pretty early this morning, so I need to check and see how they managed in Spain." Hermione said as she waved goodbye.

"Alright Hermione I'll send Prongs when we've finished up with the Goblins." Harry said as he waved back.

Ginny leaned in close to Harry's ear. "She's off to snog Ron, she could care less about Spain." There was a hint of mischief in her eyes. She then looked into Harry's eyes and saw his went to a hunter green and then he smirked.

"Speaking of snogging." He leaned in to kiss Ginny but stopped short of her lips. "Nope no time for that." He pulled back, let go of her hand and then starting walking towards the bank.

Ginny's face turned red and she huffed. "Oh you prat Potter, just you wait!" She then ran to catch up with him.

Ginny caught up to Harry as they approached Gringotts. Two security wizards were stationed at the entrance. The larger of the two approached the couple as they walked up the white marble steps. He held a hand out to stop them. "Hello Mr. Potter, Miss Weasley. I'm sorry but I have to check your wands. Security and all that." They did as they were instructed and were handed back their wands.

"Thank you, good morning." Harry said. Then Harry placed his hand on the small of Ginny's back and guided her into the bank.

They walked into the lobby. They then saw Bill talking with a Goblin near the back of the lobby.

"Hey Bill!" Ginny said as she walked towards her older brother. She then wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug.

"Hello, Gin-bug." Bill replied and returned the hug. He then stuck his hand out to shake Harry's hand. "Harry I want to introduce you to Gronx. Gronx is the finacial advisor for the Black family estate. I know you appointed Griphook as advisor for the Potter estate. Gronx here can handle both or you can choose Griphook. If that doesn't work you can keep them separate."

Harry then bowed to the goblin. "It's a pleasure to meet you." Gronx returned the bow, giving Harry a toothy grin.

"Mr. Potter if you and your mate would kindly follow me to my office we can begin." Gronx said as he headed towards the back offices.

Ginny then mouthed "Mate?" towards her brother Bill. Bill just shrugged his shoulders and gave her a lopsided smile and waved her goodbye.

She then took Harry's hand and they followed the goblin towards his office. They started to duck into the entrance of his office but then realized it magically expanded to fit them comfortably. The office was plain with white walls and a black oak desk in the center. There were two red cushioned chairs in front. Gronx waited until they were comfortable and then produced a rather large file filled with parchment. He lifted the file and dropped it on the desk, which made a large thud sound. He opened the file and looked up at them. He took the top parchment and handed it to Harry. He then intertwined his long spindly fingers together and placed them on the desk.

"This is the total amount of what you now own in the Black family account, including all held properties and heirlooms. As you can see there are three sections. The first is the total in currency. The second is the total number and monetary amounts of properties held in escrow. Then lastly is the amount in investments and personal effects. Then as you can see the total amount at the bottom of the parchment. It is also updated in real time. " Gronx explained. The total at the bottom would change depending on how much interest was accruing.

Harry at first was numb. He pulled off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. He then showed Ginny and her face went white and she grabbed Harry's hand.

"Wow," was all Harry could manage to say at first.

"Mr. Potter as you can see it's a substantial amount. Your current worth including the total in your Potter family vault is over 2 billion galleons. You have property in areas all around England and France. We just need to know what you want us to do and how you want us to invest. You have current investments that are making you money, but if you decide to invest more we can help you do that." Gronx explained. He then proceeded to hand another roll of parchment to Harry. "This is the agreement to hand over proxy to the Ministry for Grimmauld Place as they and you requested. It gives them the authority to manage the property as they see fit. I just need your signature."

Harry took a quill and signed his name to the parchment. Gronx snapped his fingers and the parchment disappeared. "This will then be filed with our files and also a copy sent to the Ministry. Now do you have any questions or concerns?"

"Erm, may I see the file." Harry asked. Gronx then pushed the rather large file towards Harry. Harry turned towards the section for properties and started to peruse the section. "Ok, first thing is I would like it if I could put everything in one vault. I don't want to have to go to two different areas. Also I would like to keep just you as an advisor. Is that satisfactory?" Harry asked as he looked up from the files.

"Already done." Gronx said. Harry then noticed the total on the front parchment added in the totals from the Potter family vault. "I put everything in the Potter vault and I am the sole advisor."

"Thank you. Second I want to authorize Ginny Weasley total access and authority. I also want to add Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley as secondary account holders, in the case if Ginny or myself are unavailable." Ginny then grabbed Harry's forearm. Her eyes grew wide.

"Harry?"

"It's what I want Ginny." Harry said. "If you want to keep your own vault that's ok, but if you decide to have your Harpies pay deposited into the main vault then I'll leave that up to you." Ginny just shook her head and squeezed his arm. Gronx then nodded his head.

"Done."

"Next I want to set up a trust of 2 million galleons for Teddy Remus Lupin. I want his Hogwarts education totally paid for when the time comes. I also want to put Andromeda Tonks down as having access to it when the time comes to pay for school." Gronx then nodded his head again.

"Anything else?" He asked.

Harry then noticed a particular property that was in the file. "Is this correct?"

"Is what correct, Mr. Potter?" Gronx asked. Ginny leaned in closer and her eyes went wide and she looked at Harry. Harry then looked back at her in shock.

"Harry it says here you own the Burrow." Ginny said quietly.

"Gronx is this true?" Harry asked.

"Yes it is." Gronx replied. "The Black family owns quite a lot of land and the land The Burrow is on was one of them."

"Do the Weasley's know?" Harry asked as he adjusted his glasses.

"Unlikely, the mortgage was handled by Gringotts on behalf of the Black family. Since the Weasley's are Pureblood the Black family agreed to the mortgage." Gronx explained. "It is quite common in the Wizarding World for Gringotts to act as a mediary for business transactions.

"As of this day I want the title and whatever was paid from the initial mortgage plus interest to be put in Arthur and Molly Weasley's name. I also want to add another 2 million galleons to be added to that sum and added to their vault. Can I do that?" Harry asked not quite sure if he could add money to the Weasley vault.

"Yes you may do what you please. It is highly irregular, but you do have the right to add funds to another vault as long as you have a business relationship between the two vaults." Gronx answered with a hint of surprise. "But it is done."

"Thank you Gronx, and as to new investments I leave that in your capable hands. I trust that you won't let me down since I neither have the time or the patience to deal with it. I'd like to have a copy of this file to take with me." Harry asked as he looked at Gronx.

"That is your copy Mr. Potter. I just need a blood drop from the both of you to make these changes permanent. I will also need Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger to come in and do the same as well. I will also allow your Owl special authorizations to correspond with me." He then opened the top drawer and handed them a Goblin blood spherical. The device is used to prick a finger to magically sign documents with a drop of blood. They then stuck there index fingers and let one droplet of blood on the selected parchment. "I think that will conclude our business for today Mr. Potter, Miss Weasley. Good day to you both."

Harry and Ginny both stood up and Harry grabbed the file and they stood up still reeling from what they had just learned and left the office in a daze.

HPHPHPHPHPHHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP

Hermione was sitting on the sofa next to Ron in the flat above the shop. Upon his engagement to Angelina he'd moved to Devon and converted the flat to the office and break room.

"So the building that we purchased for the Madrid branch was exactly what we needed. It isn't as big as our stores here and in Paris but, it will do the job." Ron explained to Hermione.

"Yes plus the surrounding shops are quite lovely." Angelina added.

"I assume it's on Hechicero plaza?" Hermione asked.

"Oooh perfect enunciation Granger. You can really roll those r's!" George said with a grin. "I bet Ron loves it when you roll them."

Ron's face went red. Hermione stared daggers into George, who had the biggest smile on his face. Angelina dropped her head into her hands and shook her head. Before anyone could respond. Harry's Stag patronus came bounding into the room. "Hermione done with the goblins, you can come over when you're ready. Bring Ron with you. In Bill's office." said Prongs before he disappeared.

"Wow that took less time then I thought." Hermione commented as she stood up from the couch. "Ronald do you think you could spare some time to accompany me to Gringotts?"

Before Ron could respond. George gave a over exaggerated bow. "If he cannot my fair lady, then it would be my honor to accompany you to the Goblins." He then looked at Hermione and gave her a toothy grin.

"Prat." Ron and Angela said at the same time.

"Yes let's go before I punch this git." Ron said.

HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP

It took about five minutes for Ron and Hermione to arrive at the bank and head towards Bill's office. Harry and Ginny were sitting in front of Bill's brown mahogany desk, chatting.

"Hey Hermione, Ron!" Bill exclaimed as they entered his office getting to his feet and greeting his brother and Hermione. Harry and Ginny followed suit.

"How was Spain, Ron?" Ginny asked as more seats magically appeared and they all settled into seats.

"Hot, other than that it was nice. We didn't really have enough time to do anything. We left yesterday midday and came home this morning. I would say Diagon Alley had more excitement yesterday then we did. " Ron responded. He then looked at Harry. "So Hermione filled me in on why you're here, but why did you request me?" As if on cue Gronx entered the office.

"Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger." Gronx croaked. "I have a document that need your blood signature." He then placed the document on Bill's desk.

"I'll leave you to it and go get Dean for you." Bill said as he exited his office.

Ron and Hermione looked at the parchment. Ron did a double take and Hermione furled her brow. Ron then looked up at Harry.

"Mate, is this.." Ron gulped.

"Yes." Harry answered.

"Harry if this total is correct then you are the richest Wizard in Britain." Hermione stated.

Ginny looked at Harry. Harry looked back at Ginny and gave a small smile. "I figured as much."

Ron let out a small whistle. Then he realized why he was signing. "Harry you're making Hermione and myself secondary account holders?"

Harry just nodded his head. "I've already made Ginny a full account holder. I do not trust anyone more than I trust you three. This is what I want." He paused to look at Ginny. "This is what we want." Ginny nodded her head in approval.

Gronx then cleared his throat. "If we could get past the shock and awe of it and please sign. I have much to do."

Ron and Hermione then pricked their fingers and both let a drop of blood on the parchment. Ron then exhaled and stuck his finger in his mouth. Hermione grabbed her wand and used it to close the pin prick and then grabbed Ron's finger and did the same.

Gronx then rolled up the parchment. "You will also receive a monthly statement on the account each month." He then left the office without saying anything else.

Ron rolled his eyes. "Grouchy git. Harry that was a lot of money."

"It is and I need my family to help with it. Plus I have another surprise for everyone, but I want to wait till we have another family dinner with your parents." He turned and smiled at Ginny.

Just then Bill came back with Dean in tow. "All finished?"

"Yeah," Harry said. "Hello Dean."

He then walked towards Dean and shook his hand.

"Hello Harry," Dean said as he shook his hand. "Ginny, Ron, Hermione."

"Dean." They all said in unison. Which in turn caused all of them to chuckle.

"Bill said you and Hermione wanted to talk to me about something?" Dean asked.

"Yes," Harry said.

Ron then nudged his sister. "Hey Ginny let's leave them to it. We can go back to the shop and hang out with George and Angelina."

"Alright." Ginny said as she moved to give Harry a kiss.

"You two do not have to leave." Harry said.

"It's alright Harry, its getting crowded in here anyway." Ron answered.

"Yeah just meet at the shop when you're finished and we can all get lunch. Dean, Bill you welcome to join us." Ginny said as she kissed Harry. "Love you."

"Love you too." Harry said back to her. Ron and Hermione exchanged kisses. Then they all said their goodbyes and left the office.

"So what's this all about?" Dean asked.

"Well I'm in need of a curse breaker. You see we've come to ask you to join Phoenix Division." Harry said.

"Phoenix what?' Dean asked.

"Phoenix Division." Harry then proceeded to explain what Phoenix Division was. Hermione interjecting when needed. Apart from a few eyebrow raises Dean mostly nodded.

"So here we are. I asked Bill if it was ok if I asked you, you see." Harry said. Dean then looked at Bill.

"It's alright Dean. If you want to do it, and I think you should, then do it." Bill interjected.

"Alright, I'm in. Who else have you got?" Dean asked as he stuck his hand out to shake Harry's.

"Well, we have myself, Hermione, you. We also have Rolf Scamander and Luna Lovegood as our magical creatures' experts. I have also recruited an American named Gabriel McFarland. I have yet to recruit our Unspeakable and I need a demolitions expert." Harry then smiled. "Welcome to the team."

"Thanks, who do you have in mind for demolition?" Dean asked.

Harry just smirked. "I think you may know him."

Dean laughed and then looked at both Harry and Hermione. "Why am I not surprised….Seamus!"

HPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHPHP

"FINNEGAN! Are you finished setting those ruddy explosives?" Todd Tanker shouted from behind a grassy knoll he and the others of the extraction squad of the Auror department were hiding behind.

"Quiet, Tanker ye bleedin' idiot. You want the fookin' acromantulas nest to know we're here?" Seamus snapped back in a hushed tone.

After the Battle of Hogwarts the remaining acromantulas that escaped headed north and built a nest in the northernmost part of Scotland. They were attacking the local Muggle population as of late and once the attacks brought attention the Magical Law Enforcement, the Ministry decided to be proactive and sent in the extraction squad with a team of Hit Wizards for support. The plan was to set explosives around the nest that was in a dug out cave of dirt set deep in the woods. The explosions were placed around the entrance and parts of huge rocks that were near the cave.

"Alright, that's the last one." Seamus said after he set the last bomb. The explosives he was using was of his own design. It was a mixture of muggle dynamite and a special glass vial that was holding a concentrated Confringo curse. Seamus rolled up the sleeves on his robes and pushed his tongue out to the corner of his mouth as he carefully set the explosive. As soon as he was finished he stood up.

"LOOK OUT!" Tanker screamed. Seamus was then knocked down by a massive acromantula that had come out of the nest to investigate the noise.

"Bloody hell!" Seamus screamed as he scrambled away just before being pinned down by one of the spider's legs. "Fookin' kill the bleedin' thing!"

Red curses came from all directions towards the giant spider. One Reductor curse hit it and blew off one of its hairy legs. Seamus then scrambled to his feet and sprinted towards his companions. The acromantula screamed in agony as blood sprayed the ground. The scream caused the other spiders to come charging out of the nest towards the intruders.

"Finnigan, light the bloody fuse! For Merlin's sake!" one of the Hit Wizards shouted.

Seamus turned aimed his wand and shouted. "Incendio!" A fireball exploded from his wand and flew screaming towards the explosives fuse. "Take cover!" Seamus shouted. The fireball hit the fuse and the fuse started sparking towards the bombs. Everyone dropped behind the knoll and covered their ears.

The explosion was massive. It shook the earth and caused dirt, trees, rocks, and spider parts to fly up into the air. The deafening roar masked the sound of Harry, Hermione, and Dean apparating into the area. They immediately fell to the ground due to the explosion's wake, hitting the ground hard.

"Bloody hell!" Dean shouted.

The extraction squad then stood up to survey the scene bits of earth and spider raining down to cover them. Most of them were still trying to quell the ringing in their ears before they noticed what was covering them. Seamus just looked at his team and started to laugh. There was a hint of madness behind it.

"I'm gonna kill him." Tanker exclaimed. One of the other Hit Wizards grabbed him before he could lunge at Seamus. "Geroff me!"

Harry and his cohorts walked up to witness the exchange after the explosion. Harry was quick enough to erect a shield, before they were covered in dirt and spider guts. Seamus saw the trio and grinned. He ran up to Dean and embraced him in a hug. Dean looked down and his now stained robes.

"Dammit, Seamus, these are brand new robes." Dean said as he used a cleansing spell to clean his robes.

"Hiya, Harry, Hermione." Seamus said as he moved to hug them. Hermione raised her hand to stop him.

"You do, you die Finnigan." Hermione said sternly.

"Oh lighten up Hermione." Harry chuckled. Hermione threw a grim look towards Harry.

"What the hell was in those explosives, mate?" Dean asked as he whistled at the rather large crater and the devastation around it.

"It was one of me originals, I used a glass vile filled with a contained Reductor curse. I then attached it to a stick of Muggle dynamite." Seamus said with glee.

"Bloody hell mate, you're mental." Dean chuckled and shook his head.

"Seamus we have something to talk to about and what I can see, from the massive hole in the ground, I think you're the right person for the job." Harry said.

"I agree." Dean added. "I mean only you could have thought of a bomb like that."

Seamus turned to see the rest of his team covered in gore and chuckled to himself. He then turned to his friends. "Yer what me to blow something up?"

"Not exactly, I need you to be my explosives expert." Harry added.

Seamus shifted his weight and looked at Harry skeptically. "Whatcha on about?"

"We need your help. Is there somewhere we can speak privately?" Hermione asked.

"Sure." Seamus said and gestured to a secluded area in the forest where they could speak. "Follow me."

Once they were out of earshot. Hermione cast a muffliato spell. Seamus gave a quizzical look.

"Wow, this must be a big secret or something?" Seamus asked.

Harry grinned. "Mate you have no idea. I'm here to ask you to join Phoenix Division."

"Phoenix wha?" Seamus asked.
