They struck in the middle of the night. They had all timed it perfectly. At exactly 11:59 friday night 6 death eaters and their families, well what was left of them, took their last breaths.
"Why at that time?" Draco asked in bewilderment.
"No idea. It is just cool to say?" Harry muttered.
Hermione + Luna
It was easy sneaking into Dolohov's little shake, he had minimum wards and no other security. They moved around the house making no noise and leaving no trail. The house itself was small. One floor three rooms. One bedroom, one bath, and one kitchen/living room. There were no other occupants in the house. The girls stood by his bed, Luna had him in a modified stunner and was watching her watch waiting until the clock struck the right time.
"That is remarkably like his house." Lucius muttered leaning forward and taken in every detail.
"I wonder what the modified stunner is." Severus muttered eager to learn more.
Five seconds before the hand moved Luna gave Hermione the signal. She tipped the vile to his mouth and watched as liquid ran down his throat. Luna watched the clock, Hermione watched his breathing, listened to the beating of his heart.
"Poison. Nice choice." Bill smiled.
"What do you mean nice choice?" Sirius snarled. "There is no fun in poisoning someone."
"You are right, but there is minimal damage to your person if you don't fight with them." Bill snarled back.
By the time the grandfather clock struck midnight the house was empty of the living and a large black Thestral pawed the sky above the little house.
"Wow nice." Luna clapped. "I love the horse!"
Harry + Neville
It took Harry a few moments to drop the wards around Rookwood's home. Neville kept the dark creatures that guarded the house at bay while Harry concentrated. It would have been easier to just bust right through them, but then that would alert the occupants of the house that someone was attempting to break into the place.
Harry finally removed the last of the wards and the two ran quickly and silently into the manner. It was large, two floors. It would take them a little bit of time to go through the whole house, but it needed to be done.
A half hour later they had the four occupants in modified stunners laying in the large study side by side.
Harry looked at Neville then back at his watch, counting down with his fingers to indicate when it was time. Harry got to one and the boys poured the liquid down the throats of the occupants. They watched as a few seconds later the hearts of each person took their last beat.
By the time the grandfather clock struck midnight the house was empty of the living and a large black Thestral bucked into the sky above the Manner.
"Wow. I really don't want to be them." Theodore Nott whispered to himself. Several people around the room were looking at the screen a nice sickly green color on their face.
Sirius + Emma
It took Sirius no time at all the remove the wards around Yaxleys home. It was no manner, but it was not too small. It was a nice two story house.
The two split up, moving through the house like shadows as they searched for their victims.
A few mins later they met in the living room, Emma showed Sirius where she had found one person. Sirius stunned the three occupants with the modified stunner before laying them side by side. Emma counted down, watching the second hand move on her wrist watch. When she got to 1 the two tipped the liquid down the throats of the three occupants.
By the time the grandfather clock struck midnight the house was empty of the living and a large black Thestral looked down from the sky above.
"A mudblood and a blood traitor took down one of my death eaters!" Voldemort snarled. "You are all idiots!"
Sprout + Xeno
Sprout and Xeno had no problems entering Macnair's home. He had no wards and the only thing that guarded his house was an enchanted shrub, which Sprout took care of with a flick of the wrist.
Macnair was the only one in the small one room house. He was curled up with his ax in a corner. In no time at all Sprout had stunned Macnair with the modified stunner and Xeno had destroyed the mans ax.
At the end of the countdown Xeno poured the liquid down the man's throat. Sprout watched his breath and heard his heart and it struggled against the poison.
By the time the grandfather clock struck midnight the house was empty of the living and a large black Thestral screamed to the sky above.
"Ugh I hate him." Sirius shivered. "him and his stupid axe."
Peter + Ann
Ann and Peter were in charge of getting rid of Peter Pettigrew. They had each heard the stories and understood why they, out of everyone in the house, would be able to keep the most calm. Ann took her sword out of its sheath as the descended the stairs into the underground railway, just incase.
Peter Pettigrew had chosen to become a rat when he was not with his master, and in his rat form he lived in the underground railway, scavenging on the left over from the humans that passed through.
They had found him easy, the rat was sleeping in a little whole, one finger missing. As gently as they could, Peter slipped the sleeping rat into an extendable bag. The couple grinned at each other in accomplishment before running out of the railway, bag slung over Peters shoulder, the rat moving angrily inside.
"Wow that was easier then I thought that would be." Harry muttered.
Remus + Severus
Remus was nervous, he was going to see the beast who had cursed him all those years ago. Greyback was waiting for them with a twisted smile on his face when they poped into view in the little clearing.
"Hello Pup." Greybacks gruff voice swept across the clearing. "Traitor." He snarled at Severus.
"Greyback." Severus nodded with a smirk. Remus decided not to answer the other wolf.
"Took you long enough to get here." Greyback snarled sarcastically.
"Sorry we could not get here sooner, we had more pressing matters to attend to." Severus retorted with a snarl.
"I can see that." Greyback answered looking at the two men with a smirk. "I didn't know you were that kind of person Remus."
"What kind." Remus snarled.
"Why the kind that would prefer the company of a man to that of a woman." Greyback barked a laugh. "If I had known, I would have gladly taken you under my wing. Well more like under me."
Remus shrank back in the chair a sickly look on his face. Severus stood up aura an angry cloud around him.
"You had better not Lupin!" Severus snarled.
"No worry's Snape. Never going to happen in this universe." Lupin growled out.
Remus snarled and lunged at the other wolf. His human form ripping into the wolf while he was in the air.
Greyback jumped back in shock at the display before turning himself over to the wolf.
Severus watched with a sneer as the two wolves went at each other. Flesh, blood, teeth, and saliva was all the could be seen through the fur of the two massive wolves.
Severus checked his watch and growled at the time.
"Finish this now Remus." He snarled out as the clock struck the right time.
In a matter of seconds the large grey wolf ripped out the throat of the black wolf.
Severus sneered as the grey wolf trotted over to him and dropped the mangled body part in front of him.
"Very nice." Severus snarled sarcastically.
The grey wolf cocked his head to the side and wagged his tail.
"Yes, Lets get home." Severus sighed and buried his hand into the soft grey fur before popping them both out of the clearing.
By the time the clock struck midnight the clearing was empty of the living and a large black Thestral charged above the clearing, hollering at the sky above it.
"Wow. That was crazy." Sirius muttered.
"He. I was able to change into the wolf. I wonder if I can do that." Remus muttered to himself.
"Well that was fun." Severus growled that morning at breakfast.
"How did everyone do?" Harry asked ignoring the surly man.
"Everything went as planned." Sprout said happily. "It was almost to easy."
"Yes, we found it very easy as well." Sirius said with a shrug.
"We need to be careful of that, I don't think it will be as easy next time." Hermione said taking a bite of watermelon.
"You are right. Neville and I had a hard time, and I know that now they are all going to be on guard." Harry said with a sigh.
"Has the paper came yet?" Remus asked before taking a bite of bacon.
"Not yet." Luna's voice was interrupted by the scream of a screech owl.
"We made the front page." Emma clapped Happily watching the picture on the front page move between houses and still people, dark marks glaring up at the camera.
"That is going to make them upset." Severus said with a laugh. "Your modified stunning charm."
"I know. It is great that it lasts through death. No one will be able to move the bodies from the positions we put them in." Luna said with a happy clap.
Just then Peter and Ann walked in, the bag held in front of them.
"We caught a rat." Ann smiled handing Harry the bag.
"Perfect." Harry purred.
The next day Peter Pettigrew's body was found on the steps of the ministry. He was laying over the steps, mouth open in a silent scream. His empty eye sockets staring up into the nothing. The words 'Traitor' were printed across his face in black moving ink. The man was wearing nothing, to show the dark mark on his arm, and the Threastle running across his stomach. The mans sex had been cut clean off and was currently laying beside his eyes near his left arm.
"Okay that is just gross." Hermione scrunched her nose up.
"MURDERERS!" Molly Weasley cried.
This was by far the worst death the Order of Thestral had committed. Most would say it was murder, but Peter was dead before the order had seen to cut off body parts.
The official death was strangulation by the mans own silver hand.
"See Mom, they didn't hurt Pettigrew, they just messed with his body a little bit." Charlie said trying to calm his mother.
Molly glared at her son and sat back in her chair, arms crossed.
