Chapter Twenty Five: Death Eaters Lose
The second the flash of lightning passed Harry had everyone in position. Hugo being the only non-magical had been giving a magically modified shotgun. It was designed like a sawn-off and instead of pump rounds it fired out a combination of full body-binds and the Reductor curse with no need to reload. Once they were all in position Harry saw the first of the group and smiled widely, Crabbe and Goyle. He knew those were earmarked for Draco to take care of.
"Alright Crabbe, Goyle, killing muggleborns now are we?" Draco asked with his wand firmly in his hand. He was goading the two idiots to abandon their posted spots and created the opening needed for the others to rush them. Once they chased after him they saw the last thing in their lives, Hugo's shotgun blasting them with body-binds and a Reducto to the head each. Hugo would be hugging Hermione for this amazing weapon; all he had to do was pump the gun to change spells. It was powerful and would cut down Death Eater scumbags who thought of his daughter as dirt on their shoes.
Within seconds of the first two blasts all hell broke loose. There was at least fifty trainee Death Eaters, all of them were firing quick and continuous AK's at them. Harry's new powers and the teamwork that his friends shown reminded Hugo that his daughter was safe hands with her husband, Harry's quickness and ingenious ways had five of the Death Eaters dead within a minute while others who were obviously children no older than twelve, being forced into it were being banished to safe places away from the battle.
The recruits were certainly well trained for a group of teens. The leader of the group was the oldest, he looked twenty and his face showed nothing to concentration. The second he spoke Harry realised it, he wasn't English. Voldemort had begun taking members from all over the world to maintain the façade Dumbledore forced him to live. From the fifty only fifteen were standing, all of them trying to kill and none of them attempting to beg for forgiveness, they were trying to kill.
"Ok, these aren't kids, these are killers." Harry told the group who were communicating through ear pieces. "I want everyone to work on the leader, I think he was a Durmstrang student back when the tri-wizard was going on and I remember him putting his name in the Goblet. Be careful and if it seems you're surrounded, tell me and I'll LT you home." A chorus of 'rogers' was the replies and they set to their strategy of killing those who were dangerous and seeing if anyone was being held against their wills.
Hugo felt a pang of sadness seeing some many teenagers putting their lives on the wrong side but understood the need for them not to be given a second chance. Draco was struggling to fight so many and was wearing out, the thought of Pansy holding their godson and one day their own child had him wanting to fight on. He summoned all his strength and finished off two who had him cornered.
Harry was testing the limits of his new powers. Some of them worked almost like battle runes, all he had to do was focus and something would happen. He could sense who was here to kill and who wasn't, those who weren't he'd send to a place they felt safe and happy. Those who wanted to kill, they got their wish, their own anger was killing them, turning them into paranoid wizards who turned on each other quickly.
Once the last of them were killed Harry made a public show of it. All of them were LT'ed to Diagon Alley where their bodies hung in a formation, spelling out 'Death Eaters beware'. Within five minutes all those who were scared of the Death Eaters felt something they haven't in a while, hope.
They returned to Potter Compound with only minor injuries, Neville had a sprained wrist from casting which Harry silently remarked to him not needing to polish his own wand anymore which got him four slaps one from his three lovely wives and one from Tracey. Remus and Draco were both exhausted but seemed to reenergise when their lovely ladies kissed them. "I'm going to bring Remus for a bath." Tonks gave a lusty wink to Hermione, Daphne and Susan before leaving with Remus.
Taking the hint, six hands took Harry into their bedroom and helped him relax with all their hands massaging his exhausted body and kissing him. He had visions of the brides of Dracula and laughed internally as his lip were too busy kissing Susan to laugh.
The next few weeks went by with different raids on DE's and other important things like their businesses and financial bases. One company name kept going through all their heads was something known simply as the 'Phoenix Syndicate'. Although they had no idea at the time to what it was all they needed to know was that it was funding the Death Eaters in secret and all thoughts had turned to Dumbledore's famed Order.
By the time Christmas rolled around the family was enjoying a large meal in the dining area outside. Warming charms and snow repellents that would've been needed in England weren't needed in the compound, the weather was a comfortable temperature of 13C and the snow hadn't made an appearance although they could use a spell if they wanted.
The babies all got similar little toys: some stuffed animals that were interactive, special pyjamas to let the parents know when they needed to be changed and little playpens that sense what they need. Harry's wives all received beautiful jewellery, dresses and each got a book of 'Harry coupons'.
All the friends gave gifts of booze and chocolates between each other and little joke gifts. Luna and Alexis talked to Harry about a serious item and were please when he agreed. He was happy they found love with each other and hoped it lasted.
After Christmas all work went back to the old business; hunting down the Death Eaters. The raids became more frequent and harsh taking out the army Voldemort was building was not an easy task. The raids took longer as all that was left was the last and strongest of all the Death Eaters.
"Okay, these five are main lieutenants of his recruiting drive, if we take them out then we can spend some time relaxing." Harry grinned and watched the men walking down Diagon Alley.
"NOW!" Draco shouted, casting the first Reducto which hit the Death Eater straight in the knee, blowing it down to the sinew and bone.
Harry and Hugo nodded and blasted the fallen man with two more hits, silencing his screams and ending his life. The main of his recruiters sensed the trouble and started firing widely, sending more AK's to them. Hugo cocked the shotgun and fired two powerful body binds at the man. After a quick Reducto they worked on the other three when they heard multiple pops. When they looked at the other they all silently cursed to themselves.
"Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter you are under arrest!" Kingsley shouted, firing stunners.
"Shit, it's KFC; can someone please fry these chickens away?" Draco asked, dodging stunners.
"I got this one." Harry laughed, using the LT to hold the Order members in suspended motion. "Tell Dumbledore that if he won't deal with the Death Eaters, we will!" He shouted, making them all disappear and launching two bone-breakers at the other Death Eaters, panting and sitting down.
"You okay son?" Hugo asked, placing his hand on his shoulder.
"Fine, I'm not supposed to use my powers for anger, it takes it out of me…" Harry sipped a vial of pepper-up potion and sighing contently. "Dumbledore has some sort of a spell on something I'm using or has some sort of a tag on me." He mused, looking around at the Alley and closing his eyes, sensing all the ambient magic around. "There are too many signatures…"
"Just relax, we'll think of something." Hugo smiled and got the rest of them as they LT'ed home. Once they arrived home again all the women wanted to keep their other halves happy and content to make sure they were comfortable and relaxed.
Harry walked into the kitchen at 3am and found Remus, Hugo, Jake and Draco all sporting huge grins on their faces and saw him. "Maybe we should go on missions more, this is the life." Draco chuckled.
"I'll second that." Harry smirked and got a beer, sitting down with them with a limp.
"I'll join into that, Rose has never been like this." Hugo smirked at Harry. "Isn't it the women who are supposed to limp?"
"Usually, but I've got three wives. So after nine times I can bloody well limp!" Harry yawned and saw them all widen their eyes.
"Nine times?!" Draco asked incredulously. "Merlin's balls, how are you walking?"
"Hermione did it three times?! That I didn't need to know…" Hugo paled and chugged his beer.
"No, Mione and I only do it once…never mind." Harry chuckled and sipped more.
"How was it nine times then?" Remus asked, staring at him.
"Susan." Harry laughed and sipped more beer. "She and I did it six times…"
"Six?!" Draco's eyes nearly popped out of his face.
"Yeah, she's been really promiscuous in the bedroom lately." Harry shrugged and placed his glass near his crotch. "Oh thank Merlin."
"Pansy's the same." Draco chuckled and finished his beer. "She's really missed me and with the wedding set for next month, life is good." He smiled and leaned into the chair, yawning.
"Honestly, women from the Black family seem to very, open." Remus chuckled and sighed contently. "Oh and Dora and I are expecting." He grinned, getting pats on the shoulders from all the guys.
"Nothing's better than holding that baby in your arms for the first time." Hugo smiled and looked at Harry. "Is there son?"
"Nothing better at all, the love you feel when you first see them look at you or grab your finger." Harry agreed and grinned.
"Okay, no I'm the odd one out." Draco laughed at them.
"Yes you are." Jake smirked and stared at them. "To families, they can annoy us but we love them anyway."
"Here, here." They all clinked glasses and finished their drinks, one by one leaving the table and finally going back to their lovely ladies to sleep for the night.
The following week brought them the break they needed. Albus had managed to enter Hogwarts and Voldemort was apparently waiting to wage an assault on the castle. It presented Harry and 'The System' a chance to finally end the Death Eaters and dent Dumbledore's forces in one blow. They all suited up and despite Harry's numerous protests Susan, Hermione and Daphne were all coming with them. Astoria, Cindy, Luna and Ginny were staying behind with Simone and Molly to serve as a healing unit for them.
Once they were all suited up and the news of the battle spread, the first wave of Hermione, Hugo, Jake, Blaise, Draco and Alexis LT'ed to Hogwarts to one of the towers, all of them taking their positions. As soon as they gave the signal through Harry's two way mirror Remus and he designed to send the rest of the team out. With all the team there they saw an epic battle being waged outside and looked to Harry.
"Ok here's the battle plan; dads', you both lead Hermione and Daphne with Blaise and Alexis for backup, attack some of the newer recruits they have and make sure if they piss their pants, contact me and I'll LT them out of here." Harry told the first small team who nodded. "Hannah, Draco, Susan, Neville and Tracey, you five will take on whatever Order members try to interfere with us." The second team nodded and smiled to each other. "That leaves the rest of us; we'll be the ones who join the 'battle' outside. Our job is causing hell and to get me close enough to Voldemort so I can release Tom from his prison."
After they all split into their groups, Harry and the main group ran outside, hitting as many Death Eaters with lethal curses as he could. As soon as they reached the main fighting part where Dumbledore had Voldemort in a duel that to the untrained eye was an epic battle between good and evil, but Harry knew better, it was Dumbledore playing the puppeteer and making his puppet move and fight him.
His wands firmly in his hands, he sent two powerful spells into the two, duelling them at once. People watching on both sides were amazed; Harry Potter, duelling the two 'greatest' wizards of the age and holding his own against them. Harry wasn't arrogant, he was way behind in experience but he was able to make up for that with both the expanded core he gained without his Horcrux and the powers that Clearwing had given him were helping him hold his own.
Dumbledore was amazed; here was a seventeen year old holding his own against him, the greatest wizard of his age. Ever since the boy appeared in a flash of lightning he had being trying to discover what power the boy had, now he watched as he duelled with him and his intrigue puppet. His power should've been twice as strong as the boy's and yet the boy wasn't even trying. Dumbledore's stamina was powerful but since the loss of that blasted phoenix he wasn't as powerful. Voldemort's own power took a small portion of his own to operate.
Meanwhile Hugo and Hermione were teaming up on several of the strongest werewolves that followed Voldemort's Dark Army. They were currently fighting Fenrir Greyback the Alpha of the group who was known for his vicious and almost cannibalistic ways. "I've been waiting to sink my fangs into you sweetheart." He chuckled darkly, licking his lips and looking lustfully at Hermione.
"Not my daughter you fucking mutt!" Hugo cocked his shot gun and blew Greyback's head off in one blast. All the other werewolves looked in shock and bowed down to Hugo. "What the hell is going on?"
"You killed their Alpha, it makes them obey you now dad." Hermione explained, chuckling nervously and watching carefully as one of the werewolves stood up. He looked very attractive she thought even though she was married, he reminded her of Harry, his hair was black and messy but his eyes were a unique shade of black.
"I am Samuel; I was Fenrir's second in command. I will fight with you no matter sir." He bowed and looked to the rest of the wolves. "Now let's rid those Death Eaters who treated us like dogs!" He shouted, turning to Hugo who nodded and grinned. "CHARGE!"
Remus heard the call and grinned, fighting Peter Pettigrew on his own. "They were your friends!"
"The Dark Lord gave me the power you all kept from me!" Peter shouted, firing lethal spells over at him.
"We kept nothing from you!" Remus yelled, hitting him in the chest with a bone-breaker. "I hope they find you on the other side and kill you!"
"…Die." Peter gurgled out, hitting Remus with a weird sickly yellow beam.
Susan and Draco took on Kingsley Shacklebolt together in a duel and tried to match the dark skinned man's power and stamina. His wand movements were quick and all his spells non-verbal, making it harder for them to dodge the spells zooming past them. "Surrender now and you will tried fairly by a counsel of your equals!" He told them, seeing them both pant.
Susan walked forward slightly and smirked at him. "Go. Fuck. Yourself." She said angrily, launching a barrage of power spells at him, focusing all her power into the spells she sent to him. She remembered when Amelia was killed and Kingsley was one of the killers.
"Oh, the chance to kill one of Potter's whores is great, but finishing off you, that's just the perfect thing." Kingsley chuckled, sending multiple Killing Curses at her. Susan dodged them all and sent every lethal spell she could back at him. Finally one of the bone-breakers connected with his spine and sent him to the ground.
"This is for my Aunt." Susan pointed her wand at him with tears in her eyes. "Diffindo!" She shouted, severing Kingsley's head from his shoulders. Draco hugged her and stemmed the tears in her eyes.
"It was him or you, Amelia would be proud you fought so hard." He smiled and hugged her again. "Now come on, we still have more to go through.
"Y-You're right Draco, thank you." Susan kissed his cheek and smiled softly. "Come on, I think I saw one of the ones who defiled James and Lily's graves."
Harry's legendary duel as people were already calling it was now starting to heat up. Members of the Order watched as Harry's new powers came into play, creating amazing chains of lightning that surrounded all the Order members and left just Harry and Voldemort in one circle.
"Now you will die Harry Potter." Voldemort chuckled and pointed his wand at him. "Avada Kedavra!" Harry dodged the spell and stopped Voldemort in his tracks. He walked over and poured the vial containing the antidote down his throat. As soon as the vial's contents were gone, Voldemort dropped to his knees. The screams were ear splitting and people noticed his snake exploding into a black mist that flew into his body.
"Tom? Can you hear me?" Harry asked, watching as the greying haired man stood up; his features like they were before his imprisonment and his eyes going back to their natural brown.
"Well done Harry." Dumbledore grinned, finally free of the ropes that were holding him so tightly. "Avada Kedavra!" He cast, killing Tom Riddle instantly.
"NO! He wasn't Voldemort, he was an innocent man!" Harry shouted, his magic flaring up. "You had no right to kill anyone. I thought the great Albus Dumbledore doesn't kill people."
"Come now Harry," Dumbledore's grandfatherly tone was on and Harry had to try not vomiting. "Voldemort was too dangerous to let live and we cannot allow that. Now that you've completed your destiny, surrender and let the justice system judge you for your crimes."
"What crimes?!" Harry shouted at him, scowling at him.
"Why killing young Ronald of course." Dumbledore said calmly.
"Ronald Dumbledore died in an Honour Duel after attacking my wife!" Harry snarled his wands firmly into his hands.
"And what of young Ginevra, where is she?" Dumbledore asked. "I heard you claimed her for yourself!"
"She's with her family!" Bill shouted from behind Harry.
"Where she belongs!" Fred shouted with him.
"Away from meddling old fools like you!" George shouted, scowling at him.
"Come now boys, I was the one who took your sister in when your parents were forced to disown her." Dumbledore tried to placate them. "It was Harry who got her sent away."
"And it was Harry who discovered what you did to her." Remus said calmly. "I trusted you Albus, LILY AND JAMES TRUSTED YOU!" Remus panted, holding his bleeding side. Harry saw the blood and looked at Dumbledore and everyone.
"This isn't over old man." He said, LT'ing everyone home. Remus and Dora instantly went to the Healers tent.
Dora came out ten minutes later, tears streaming down her eyes and her hair a limp mousy brown. "H-Harry, he wants to see you…" She muttered, bringing him into the room inside the house where he was moved. When Harry walked in the first thing he noticed was how pale Remus was.
"Remus? Remus it's me." Harry whispered, knelling beside the bed.
"H-Harry…P-Peter got me with a curse; it's draining my blood away." Remus muttered softly.
"No." Harry shook his head and looked at him. "You'll be fine, Mrs. Weasley will heal you…"
"I'm sorry cub, but this is it for me." He turned his gaze to Dora and then back to Harry. "I want you to keep her safe, Harry keep her and the baby safe."
"I will Remus, I promise." Harry said, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"And cub?" Remus grabbed onto his hand.
"Yes Remus?" Harry asked, squeezing his hand reassuringly.
"Go to your grandfather…tell him to alter your memories. When Dumbledore learns that a child is born from Dora and mines marriage, he'll order the baby killed, if a court tries anything, you can say the baby is yours."
"Remus no…"
"Yes Harry, Dora and I have discussed this." Remus smiled softly at him. "I love you cub, like you're my own. Look after them for me like Dumbledore stopped me from doing for you." He whispered, closing his eyes, his breath stopping.
"I will Remus, I swear." Harry covered him in a sheet and stood up. Dora walked over and collapsed into his arms, sobbing into his chest. "I'll keep you safe Tonks, I swear." He whispered.
A/N2: Yes, I killed Remus. Originally it was going to be one of the wives but you guys would've castrated me and I like my bits where they are thank you very much. This chapter was for me one of the hardest for the last part, the actual words and emotions were hard to make as real as possible. Please don't flame me over Remus's death. Please leave a review though. Also the next chapter will be an epilogue/lead up to the next book.
Harry: Wow, that was um…
Hermione: Awfully sad, are you okay Dora?
Tonks: I-I'll be fine, AFTER I KILL CRAIG!
Craig: *Runs away as fast as possible*
