Harry calmed Ron down to get the whole story. "Scrimgeior and a bunch of Death Eaters attacked Hogsmead, they took 20 students hostage and Ginny was one of them".
We need to get to Hogwarts and see what we can do. When Harry and Ron arrived at Hogwarts aurors were gaurding the gate, "Halt the school is on lock down you must leave.
Ron began to turn red but Harry put a hand on his shoulder. "I am Lord Potter I am a member of the Board of Governors, I need to speak to the Head Mistress.
I am sorry Lord Potter the Head Mistress is... indisposed. I will send for the Deputy Head Master, Professor Flitwick. As they waited Harry called Dobby and Creature, "We need to find where the kids are being held, they were taken from the village, see what you can find out. "Yes, we will get right on it, Master". With that the two popped away.
"Lord Potter, Tonks is to escort you to the Deputy head master". The gates opened and Tonks walked with them with her wand out, Harry's was not out because he was trying to assure everyone that things would be OK, but Harry had his main wand in the holster on his right wrist ready to drop into his hand on a moments notice, Harry had a second wand that he had won somewhere along the way in a holster on his left wrist and one on his ankle. Running out of the woods came 4 werewolves. Harry drew both his wands and fired binding curses on the werewolves before Tonks could fire. All three wolves collapsed. "How can they be in wolf form durring the day?" A shocked Tonks asked.
Harry was casting several spells he had learned from some books in Grimwald place. "They are under a curse it is a modified version of the Imperious curse, it affects at a deeper level and triggers the change when ordered, they also are impelled to do the masters bidding". Harry pointed his wand at the first wolf "AVIDA" "Harry no", yelled Tonks "TRALEASE", Harry finished the green spell came out of Harry's wand like a fire hose, Harry hit all 4 wolves and they began to change back to human form. Tonks stopped just short of hexing Harry.
"Harry what did you do".
"It is an old spell to break mind magic, I have been doing a lot of studying of many different types of magic and leaned several good spells. There was many people that were imperioused in the last war I wanted something to possibly help save some lives. Harry placed the 4 men on stretchers and brought them up to the castle.
"Lord Potter what happened?"
"We were attacked by werewolves". It was Tonks that responded.
"Are you all OK, how could it happen in the day light?.
This time Harry spoke up quickly to preempt Tonks, "They were under an very old and powerful spell that forces the transformation and gives the caster control over them. I reversed it and brought them up to be interviewed". Harry walked to the one who had lead the charge and by werewolf tradition would have been thier alpha. "Enumverate". The wolf came too. "What is your name".
"I am John Dalwish, spawned by Greyback".
"Who put the spell on you?"
"Scrimgeior."
"Did you do it willingly?"
"No we were captured and forced to do his bidding".
"So where was this done?"
"It was in a house just out of the Hogwarts wards".
"I know the house", said Fillius.
Harry continued to question the man, "So you have any idea where he may be, they were going to go by portkey to the house making it seem that they went somewhere else. If I could transform now I would go and rip Scrimgeior's lungs out".
"It is good that you are not able too then. Fillius what has happened to Minerva?"
"She was hit by several different curses at once, seems to becoming a habit with her, she is not as bad this time but she is in the hospital wing".
"Fillius, can we let the Ministry know that we know where they are and are going to make our move against them".
"Yes, Lord Potter, but are we sure this is the way to move".
"Fillius, you are in charge it is your call, I have over stepped my bounds".
"No, you are right we must move, who knows what they are doing to the students. House elf". A pop was heard and a elf stood before Fillius. "Have the extraction team meet us in the great hall, also bring half the aurors".
"Yes, sir."
Harry was puzzled, "What is the extraction team?"
"It was created by Dumbledore and reinstated by Minerva, it was to be used to rescue students that have been kid napped".
They moved on down to the Great hall and made plans for the rescue of the students who were all members of families who had votes on the Wizengamot, except Ginny who was a member of a family that even though people had forgotten Harry he was once again connected too.
"Lord Potter you may lead the team of teachers into the house form the west, you are team Dumbledore, team McGonigall will be lead by me and we will hit the house from the south. The third team will be lead by Bill Weasly out ancient rune instructor will lead a group of aurors in placing blocking wards on the house so the Death Eaters can't take the students and run. OK prepare yourself and we will portkey in 5 minutes".
"Dobby".
"Yes, Lord Potter?" The elf appeared in front of Harry.
"Meet me at the house, if you can see where the hostages are located".
The three teams met and Dobby met Harry. "OK everyone, I am going to take them by surprise, Dobby will put me in the room with the hostages. I will try and protect them and take down who I can. There is the signal move".
Harry with the help of Dobby got behind the Death Eaters stunning them, as he moved into the next room he heard the other team break through the door Harry checked out each room. Finally Harry spotted Scrimgeior with Ginny going into a door, Harry headed for it as the door started shrinking Harry found he was in a passage the door closed behind him and the passage started shrinking, Harry ran down the passage but knew he wouldn't make it out. Harry used a spell that sent him flying uncontrollably though the air. Harry came out or the other end of the passage and was in the room of requirements. Harry saw another passage close with Ginny and Scrimgeior on the other end but that was not the only thing he saw. Harry knew where he had taken her. Harry looked around, there was no door, harry tried asking for a door and didn't receive his request. Harry worked on getting out of the room for hours with no luck he did find he could get a couch and anything he wanted but food and water. Harry was thirsty and hungry, Scrimegeior had used the room to trap him. Taking a chance Harry said, "Dobby".
With a pop Dobby was there, "Master Harry called".
"Dobby can you get me out of here?"
"Yes, sir". With that Harry and Dobby popped out of the room.
They arrived at the Head Mistresses office. No one seemed to have noticed as they were all yelling at the top of their lungs. Dobby was gone as fast as he dropped off Harry.. Harry realized they were arguing over what to do to find Scrimgeior and Ginny. Harry cast a silencing charm ans all went silent. Everyone looked at each other still red faced from they yelling. "I know where Ginny and Scrimgeior are, they are in the chamber of secrets". Everyone had a dumb look on their face. Harry realised the silencing charm, everyone jumped him at once."If you all can be quiet I will tell you how I know". Harry explained about the room of requirements and what had happened". He asked if all the students were OK and was told yes. The problem was that someone in the school had to get the room to connect to the house in the first place.
"Then the yelling started again as everyone tried to figure out how to get into the chamber. Harry didn't want to let them all into the fact that he had been in there before because it could cause the to remember him and start the cascade, Harry left the room and headed to the chamber of secrets.
"Hello, Rufius".
"Hello, Lord Potter only you would come to get this girl and not bring help".
"Why would I need help, when you know you will have to give up or perish?"
"Think highly of yourself don't you, welp?"
Harry could see Ginny was scared by her eyes, they reminded him of when she had been taken here before. "Rufius do we really want to do this? You have lost and you know it. Just give.." Scrimgeior launched the killing curse at Harry and then spun and stunned Ginny. Harry returned fire, Scrimgeior fired a stunner which Harry was too slow to dodge or block the spell hit Harry right in the middle of the chest, Scrimgeior smiled he knew he had won, Harry was in shock that he got hit in the chest by a stunner and it felt like being hit with a nerf ball. Scrimgeior was shocked as Harry shot a cutter back at him and seemed to disappear just before spell hit him. Harry realized that somehow he had used a port key but Harry didn't know how.
Harry revived Ginny, "Harry how did we get down here again?" I thought "You know who was dead. I saw you kill him".
Harry looked at her stunned she remembered him. Harry bent forward and kissed her on the lips. "Ginny you can't tell anyone who I am right now. You and I think Hedwig are the only one who remember me. A lot of people will die if we are not special. We have made it almost a year with out causing people to die again". Ginny looked strangely at him, just trust me many people will die if we don't keep this quite".
"OK Harry, I will not say anything for now".
"Thank you, there is much I need to tell you but that will have to wait, people are worried about you."
Harry and Ginny went back to Minerva's office. After things were done Ginny went back to the dorm.
Harry went to look for Nick or the Grey Lady, he found Nick. Hello again,Harry".
"Hello Nick did you feel any pulses of power that could signal a cascade, like the ones of the night of the battle".
"No, Harry. Why?'
"Ginny remembers me, I was hopping it would not cause problems".
"I think you are safe at this time Harry.".
"Thanks, Nick". Harry walked back out of the gates and apperated back to his house.
Harry still didn't know how the stunning spell had not knocked him out, then he pulled off his shirt and remembered that he had the basilisk leather armor on, he would need to make sure to ware it any time he might have problems, of course he didn't even notice it being on so maybe he should wear it all the time.
