Canon Universe, Point of No Return, set after Hammer of the Gods
It was the news of the century, Harry's death and the subsequent 'adoption' of the Potter heirs. They were still invited over to see the Weaslys, but other than that they wanted nothing to do with their harpy mother.
Ginny apparently 'jumped ship' as it were and wasted no time heading to the next rich husband...Draco Malfoy.
Harry was properly disgusted with her behavior.
"Give me the word and I'll make it look like she planned your murder," said Bree seriously.
"How?"
"There's a reason why I chose Wendigo attack. Makes it easy to get people to believe that it was planted. All I have to do is have Hermione 'find' evidence that the Wendigo ashes were planted and steal Ginny's wand and I can forge evidence that she killed you and used a Wendigo to cover it up. One of the benefits of being a time traveler is that I can go back and steal her wand."
"Can I have some time to think on it?"
A week later Harry had Bree go into the past to steal Ginny's wand and make it look like she killed him and destroyed most of the evidence. Bree had, in a fit of boredom fourth year, learned to 'hack' a wand into thinking it's real owner had cast a spell when he borrowed Ron's wand.
So duplicating Ginny's magical signature was cakewalk.
It took all of three days before Ginny was the number one suspect for Harry's "murder" even though she had no idea it was a set-up. She kept wondering when her children would show up to at least support her, but they were much happier with "Uncle Gabe"and didn't help her case at all when they mentioned the rows she had with Harry because he wasn't showing any interest in her.
The fact Harry had divorce paperwork ready to be filed left with the goblins shortly after finishing his 'will' didn't help her either.
Everyone knew that Harry and Ginny were having problems in their marriage. The only reason Harry even stayed was for the children and it was obvious to everyone who the children preferred when it came to their parents.
Ginny was now a persona-non-grata in the magical communities. She eventually left Britain for one of the other magical areas and changed her name.
Harry still acted as Gabriel Winchester, or Gabe, though. Bree was uncannily good at recreating his company and had no issues handing it over to his alternate. It wasn't like he actually used the gold aside to pay for food.
Dean had looked about ready to kiss him when Bree enchanted his car to never need gas ever again. Castiel was extremely jealous.
Gabe had set up a house near Bobby's area so that they would have a safe place to apparate or port key into. Bree had set the wards so that people could go into the panic room...but they would have to break the circle in order to get out. The same went for angel and demon transportation.
The last thing he did was give Gabe all of his memories so that he could fight like a hunter and not get killed. He even set up with a double of his laptop so he could act as Monkey Magic without drawing suspicion.
Considering his time was drawing to a close because Adam would be revived soon, Bree knew he would be thrown into the next alternate once Micheal came on the scene. He could always come back with his new portable house, but his assistance was quickly becoming moot.
On the plus side, Hermione had dumped Ron and started dating Sam for real. She could live with his blood addiction if it meant having someone intelligent to talk to, and Sam loved the fact that Hermione could match him in the research department and wasn't angry at him for starting the apocalypse.
If she could live with the nonsense Harry used to get into, she could live with the crap Sam and Dean had following them around.
Castiel and Gabriel (he only went as Loki in public) cried out in shock as Adam Winchester was forcibly revived.
As Bree had pointed out, they were only following god's original orders, which was to love all his creations. Technically they hadn't done anything to lose their Grace because they still believed in Him and were willing to fight in order to give humanity it's best chance.
Even if it meant killing their fellow angels.
Castiel brought Adam to them, but Bree told him not to add the sigils that would allow him to remain hidden.
"Why?" asked Gabriel.
"Micheal can't add them once he takes Adam, since Dean clearly doesn't want to be his vessel. And he's too strong for another angel to add them for him, so Adam can't remain hidden. He would have to use normal methods and it will help us avoid him and Lucy later," said Bree.
"Agreed," said Gabe.
"I want to know why the hell they brought him back to begin with! And I thought Micheal needed consent to take a human vessel?" said Hermione.
"Adam agreed to be brought back. That can be construed as consent for Micheal's purposes. If Dean can't be convinced, then they'll take Adam as his replacement, willing or not. It happened last time and I ended up here," said Bree.
"Who the hell are you people? Where is Zachariah?"
"Soon to be dead if I have anything to say about it. Zachariah is a sanctimonious prick who deserves a kick to the balls upon sight, and a stab to the heart when he really gets going. His only job is to use you to get to Dean because he's at least strong enough to tell Micheal and the other angels to go screw themselves when they start demanding things. You however, are a weak little civilian. Micheal is going to take your body and use it as his meat suit."
"Why would anyone not agree to angels? They're the good guys!"
"Most of them are as bad as Zachariah personality wise. Castiel and Loki here are the extremely rare exception to the rule. As Dean once said, angels are dicks with wings," said Bree flatly.
"Oh for god's sake. Micheal and the other angels are just using you because Dean had more common sense than you do apparently. Now either you grow up or I'll hex you," said Hermione.
"Since when do you idiots travel with a witch?" demanded Adam.
Hermione bristled at his tone.
"OW!"
"The brightest witch of her age. Don't piss off the bookworm dumbass," said Gabe.
"That reminds me...Guys, I've moved all your stuff into Gabe's house and added the wards so you'll have a fall back position. I've even added a panic room that is exactly like Bobby's and another for the kids. If as I suspect, I end up being sent to the next alternate, at least you'll have something to work with. All your phones have been set so that they can call me across the time-space problem. If my dad can call me from my time line, I see no reason why you can't do the same."
"Why don't you know what happens next?" asked Gabriel in the kitchen.
"According to your alternate from my time, the future where the Croatoan virus was always set loose because the seal was never complete. Then the world was reset back to start and the cycle repeated. So if something happens when Lucifer is finally sealed properly, you'll need a way to contact me. Remember, after Lucifer is sealed, I'm as in the dark as you guys."
Gabriel took Bree's cell phone and added a special feature.
"What did you do?"
"If what you said was true, then I was able to contact you from your time. I see no reason you shouldn't be able to contact him from now. Plus once you figure out how you can do the same to that box of yours and really make it into a duplicate of the T.A.R.D.I.S.," said Gabriel.
"Point. You do realize I'll be trying to figure out what you did during the next alternate in my spare time?"
"At least you'll have something to do!" laughed Gabriel.
Adam was once again taken, and like Bree warned, held by angels. He showed Gabe how to cast the angel banishing charm (something he created after he examined the banishing sigil) and he took great pleasure in tossing out the ones in the warehouse.
Bree mostly used it to get Castiel out of the room while he cast some cleaning charms and to give Dean incentive to take a shower. Gabriel thought this fact was hilarious.
Hermione put her knowledge of hexes to destroy the door (most of them created for use on her ex-fiance Ronald Weasly) while Sam and Bree ran in to get Adam.
The second the door closed and Zachariah appeared, Bree didn't hesitate to his by-now instinctive reaction.
He hit Zachariah with a Grace-infused kick to the balls in his shiny new steel-toed boots. The Seraph went down like a sack of bricks in absolute pain as Bree's grace overpowered his. He knew Sam would be sharing that particular memory with Dean once Hermione extracted it for him. The look on the pompous Seraph's face was glorious.
Bree pushed Sam and Adam outside the door before it slammed shut again and immediately concentrated on sliding into another time to avoid Micheal seeing him.
He didn't know if Micheal or Lucifer had also gotten the odd quirk to remember past alternates, but he wasn't taking the chance.
He felt his Grace taking effect and he dropped hard onto concrete outside Sioux Falls.
It took him five minutes to find the date, and a quick check told him exactly what he thought would happen after he came face to face with Micheal.
In order to avoid his death, he was given the power to 'slide' through alternates where Micheal couldn't follow.
Since he was clearly in a time before Sam returned to the hunting game, he was going to have some fun.
"Let the games begin!" grinned Bree.
