Chapter 11 –Who, Where, and how much

.

The official information, if found was that we were in Sochi which is a city in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. Sochi is located on the Black Sea coast near the border between Georgia/Abkhazia and Russia. Actually we were just down the road by Shepsi. Right now the bribes looked well worth the money as we sat near the Russian Black sea sipping a very interesting concoction.

"That was some kind of story that Skeeter wrote?" Adriana giggled.

"I hope she made enough to escape the country as the Minister was not very happy." I joined her with a chuckle.

"I mean listing her as the number one fugitive in England was a bit much. One would think Voldemort was just wanted for Jay walking.

"Well we are listed as the second most wanted if I'm not mistaken."

"Say how about a party celebrating the uproar in England? We could have the Goblins leak the story to the papers after the party.

"Harry, how about we call it the Tom Riddle returns as Voldemort celebration, hosted by the Boy-who-lived? We could have the Goblins make port-keys so our villas location would stay secret."

"Do add that this is by invitation only, gate crashers would definitely ruin the party." We were into this and laughing.

/Scene Break/

We indeed sent invitations for the ballroom we rented in Lazarevskoye and portkeys for the Hotel ballroom. The band was a bit tricky on the language and music but it got completed with the help of the elves, Goblins and portkeys.

It was great to chat with our friends and a delight to spin Adriana around the floor

"I was a bit worried about the band but they have done a great job." I whispered in her ear as we spun around the dance floor.

"I agree they have played everything from formal waltz to a Mazurka."

"I'm not sure exactly Albusforth is doing with Hermione and Luna but it sure is crazy." I laughed.

"Hermione said he wanted to do the 'borita' or goat dance, some kind of ritual dance."

"That's all we need is some fertility dance revving up the hormones."

BOOM!

"What the hell?" The party was a success until the English Aurors and Voldemort's Deatheaters arrived. How they knew where the party was being held was a mystery but they came without Voldemort and both wanted Harry Potter.

"Alright calm down we all have our…" Oh look there's more coming to join the party" Luna pointed out the large window overlooking the lawn and the action.

I was not the only one who was standing there with my mouth open. The last arriving group were dressed in purple. Their leader yelled something at the two English fighting factions. All that accomplished was that they got a number of curse thrown their way. That caused the purple group to opened up with their curses. What shocked us was their ruthlessness. They were not throwing stunners but the curses looked like 'Avada Kedavra' but we did not understand Russian. They were cutting everyone down and taking no prisoners. No one got away because someone had erected wards around the area.

Then the ballroom door was thrown open and the officer decked out in more ribbons that his gold buttons said В этой партии и никто не знает, кто они? ( Who's in charge of this party and does anyone know who they were after?)

I answered, "English actually and could you repeat that in English we don't speak Russian."

"Da, and why would they be after you kids?"

Adriana broke out into giggles and answered, "My husband and I are on my brothers to do list and Voldemort's hit list and Fudge's wanted list."

I be Андрей Bychovskaya, sorry Andrey Byсhоvskаyа and Da, I've heard of the Voldemort. He best not shows his face here we are KGB magical and take no prisoners." I thought that sounded a lot like Voldemort.

He left and the party soon broke up. "You know dear one of these days I may actually get to take on Voldemort. So far he hides and sends his minions to do his dirty work."

"Let's go home to the Villa."

/Scene Break/

We returned to our Villa under my most serious wards. Ragnok has said that I was a possible Earth Elemental somewhere back in our relationship. He was right but not completely. I could make some minor earth related things happen one was with my wards. I had the Villa protected by wards as any sensible person would but my wards were tied to an earth stone called the planet earth, destroy my wards and the earth was destroyed.

"Adriana my love, winter is approaching and while it is not overly severe here would you like to vacation somewhere warmer?"

"Some remote Caribbean island that is remote and I can have my way with you?"

"Dear that is yours for the asking, shall I contact Gringotts for…"beep, beep, beep. I preferred a beeping sound to a caterwauling alarm, some one was approaching the front of our Villa.

We looked out the window and who should appear but Voldemort and fifty more of his Deatheaters. Peep, Peep, Peep. Some one was approaching at the rear of the Villa.

We ran to the rear and there was Andrey and about twenty of his troops.

We headed out the back door to ask Andrey a favor. I was met with a smiling Andrey.

"Andrey whats with the smile we got bad guys in the front of the Villa."

"Da, and they stay, no one get by great Russian device. Yes Harry they stay."

Confused I asked "Could you explain that they stay? What device and what does it do?"

"Russians make super magical technology, nyet on leaving until we turn off. Nyet on portkey, nyet on 'apperation'. They here to stay, Da."

If this could not get any weirder a note dropped into my hand. "End it Harry" Aura.

"Andrey could you sent half of your forces around the right of the house and the other half around the left of the house and let me handle the frontal assault?"

"You want all the funs, what can you do? We are trained, we are Russian, and you are kid."

I then lit my hand on fire. I then made a fire ball and started a juggling act with a couple of balls. "Oh, my wife is even better."

At first I got a look and double take look and then a smile. "You go English man; we see what you do before we end this."

If anyone was expecting an epic battle they would have been disappointed. Adriana and I stepped out of the front door and got a hail of curses all of which hit the wards and were sucked into the earth. Andrey's troops hit the Deatheaters from the left and right with deadly curses. That got all of the attention and curses aimed at the Russians. The two factions were still yards apart from each other.

Adriana and I opened up with my fire and her wind to spur the flames into a cremating storm. It was over in a moment; everything was turned into ash except a lone figure standing now alone and untouched and laughing in a maniacal laughter.

Never let it say that Andrey and his troops were lacking and Adriana and I were in fact more that willing. Everyone opened up with everything that they had or could throw in curses, fire and wind at Voldemort. When the proverbial dust cleared there he stood untouched by our attempts at ending his reign of terror. I'm sure everyone felt the same as I, but I knew death was now stalking us.

We were wrong about Voldemort being alone as another figure faded into sight next to Voldemort. Voldemort did not react so we assumed they were together. The hideous thing was all black and had large leathery wings.

Adriana I love you! Without a word we opened our powers and hell erupted towards the two figures. You would think if the Dark won it would be dark and creepy but suddenly everything went white.

/Scene Break

"Hello Vince, Adriana I'm sorry but you lost." Aura was there in a nondescript room looking none too happy. "You two were part of a destiny that we arranged but this was not supposed to happen, somebody broke the rules. Suddenly Adriana disappeared.

I was trying to move, yell, scream but nothing worked I was frozen to the seat..

"We will try and bring you two back together if we win but right now there is a war to win. No, not with Voldemort that is still your fight. We also have our Dark types who illegally altered the time line in a bid for power. Every one here can play with how things happen but the time line must be followed. The great power has enacted penalties and the game is to resume. Voldemort called on Hates to provide an unfair power over you. Hates is now in a war with us as Voldemort is with you.

I am also sending you back in Vince Jone's altered body but all you will know is that you are Harry Potter. We will sneak in as many surprises as we are allowed, you will be magical but nothing more. Good luck Harry Potter.

The new Harry Potter disappeared.

"Nicely done Aura" said a voice from everywhere.

"Thank you lord" Aura bowed and continued, "I wish we could have given him more."

"I have allowed some additional help that you will be allowed to provide. His déjà vu

will help him in his decisions. Now here are the additional things you may provide…"
