Powers that be
Helltanz's notes: By request I wrote this 'year' over featuring Harry going to Hogwarts… sort of. I kind of mentioned this last chapter.

Disclaimer: This is Fanfiction, if I owned Harry Potter do you think Books 6 and 7 would have turned out like they did, I would have had the decency to not include an epilogue, eh enough ranting, I don't own any series referenced in this work of writing.

"The Department of Mysteries," Harry remarked. "As of now they are possibly the sole remaining threat with in the ministry of the United Kingdom's wizarding society, in light of events occurring in the greater world, we will proceed to make plans to deal with this possible nuisance." The leader of the Cwn Annwn stated. "The extermination of these pests must take place before the conquest, in addition I want all their information destroyed, a completely untraceable decapitation of the entire department."
"Our
mission is to kill everyone of them." Julia remarked crossing one
leg over the other, she paused as she did so. "Biological pathogens
are limited in what we can do, however my division does have a couple
of things,"
The northern lord smirked, remembering a certain
vivid report. "Ah yes that, RAGE is functioning isn't it? I do
love the progenitor virus's mutagenic properties." He drawled
maliciously. "Prepping a small MAKO bomb after the infection and
we'll leave that to go critical mass, when we make our move, but
for now this is just a contingent plan in the event we may need to
act sooner."
"And
the Aurors?"
"Useless,"
"Yeah, that's about the size
of the English are bunch of paranoid tea drinking SOBs," Watie
remarked distastefully. "Most of the offensive magic was outlawed,
and only the purebloods know the actual combat stuff these days,
considering the 'unblockable unforgivables' are easy enough to
stop with the lowest level of calibrated MAKO treatment, which also
prevent their stunning spells from working we'll be fine." The
leader of the army commented smugly, before he continued "Our boys
will do just fine in dealing with them." He assured the others at
the table. "Especially once we get our new guns,"
"Please
tell me we didn't actually name the gun as the ACW 95?" Asked
Brandon. "And that was just all the Bourbon from last night," The
head of the sweepers was still nursing his hangover along.
"Nope, Automatic Cwn Annwn Model nineteen hundred ninety five, albeit mainly that's cause we can't call it the 94, just cause of the AN 94, but also we don't intend to deploy, for the most part because we won't have sufficient numbers that means until at least May to replace the elite of our troops, and even then, it'll still be seeing limited deployment with our elites, up until mass production for the regulars front line troops is complete, stockpiling ammo alone is going to take up a lot of space on the production facilities, tungsten ain't exactly a cheap material."
That was true enough, of course with steadily new technology in the field of minerals and mining, especially given Citadel becoming online, but for now it was conventional mining, which supplied the necessary supplies.
"Prep
Shockwave bombs," He stated looking at his watch, "We'll resume
bombing campaign in south Sudan, add those munitions to the bombers,"
"Those bombs will cause lots of white butterflies even in open
fields," Julia stated, "I presume our targets are the militia and
infantry bases?"
"This is hardly your division's responsibility," Isaac commented disdainfully, "I will see to it the bombs are prepared for transfer." The Forge master of the Cwn Annwn said.
"Well lets proceed on to the next matter," Harry remarked.
"The Russians do not currently have the capacity to continue to field such a large military, however we have convinced them that modernization is possible," Hector announced "the main problem is funding, the current economy is in shambles, corruption is rife, not all of it is productive to our goals." He stated. "The internal conflict in Chechnya is not pleasant so in accordance with the Combined Arms Assistance Agreement," The treaty they had veritably forced the Soviet Union to sign before is collapse, and later had Yeltsin sign on after the Union fell, though the President of the Federation had been quite a bit more willing. "Cwn Annwn forces are being deployed to reinforce the opposition forces. Within the government we intend to push to down size the Russian Military by up to thirty percent, updating the training system is already in position, there is also push to make the chain of command more efficient."

The keris had a rather voracious appetite at times, of course that was some how what Harry had expected the appetite was contrasted by that of the custom built pistol, one, which Harry admittedly almost never carried and was currently disassembled on his desk having just been cleaned.
Privet Drive was now home to eighty plus wizarding homes, most muggle born or half bloods that had probably would have ended up living in the non magical world due to the lack of available housing.
The majority of these occupants were young people, which made them, given their uh heritage more open to certain facets of Cwn Annwn designed surroundings, however it did take some effort, discreet of course, to break them of their preconceptions. Of course the defenses around Surrey did give quite the feeling of security, so it was possible older residents might show up.
The northern Lord reassembled the 'firearm' with in a barest over a minute the crystal below the barrel glowed as the slide was applied.
Harry slumped, thank the stars, he mused, glad that their were no children at present, even though the appropriate crèche structures did exist, it would not do to have such children running about this environment just yet, besides wizards were such pests as adults around him, children of the younger ages would likely be even worse.
The leader of the Cwn Annwn resumed his paper work. Chechnya would allow them the combat experience, he thought, but still balancing a superpowers budget while getting what we wanted has to be most troublesome.
The northern lord grumbled internally, though the proceeding to mind control the officials who weren't already Cwn Annwn affiliated was still going to take some effort, just play up the national image, after all the politicians did not want to be supplanted as the hemisphere's major power by China, something Harry could agree with completely, so what if Alex had human produced nukes as well, disarmed yeah right, more like Alex swept them up into his safekeeping... and probably improving them as well. Alex would not launch an offensive unless it was for the greater good, ridiculous Tau philosophy, it didn't mean he did not have an immense arsenal of weapons and supplies.
The mess with in Chechnya was already becoming a bother, and regular forces could only do so much to assist, it might, he realized, be prudent to send in a 'slightly' irregular force, so who to send the Eldar were currently not advisable like wise the Orks were not advised either, Imperial Guard in most cases were ill suited, numbers just weren't working as the Russians were proving, though morale had to be taken into account for that as well, however more than half of the Astares were currently occupied so deploying the IV legion, VIII legion, XII legion and XVI Legion were all out of the question for varying reasons. That however left the two Angel legions, Adeptus Astares Legions I and IX, but who to send, wondered the leader of the Cwn Annwn.
Either legion would be suitable admittedly weighing the options either could accomplish the task, the Blood Angels had a habit of being described of Vampires, admittedly huge vampires, and the best description of the Dark Angels was that they were space fairing knights, very secretive space fairing knights at that.
October was the deadline Yeltsin was getting impatient he would send in the already demoralized military before they were ready this was not going to turn out well given the current state of the military, especially considering that moron of minister of defense for all his talk of reform did nothing but stick to the old Soviet tactics.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Wizards, what ridiculous idiots, well that applied to the majority of them very soon Eastern Europe's magical populace, or at least the next generation, would be normal the promising, and properly indoctrinated, students would even receive mage courses, which were merely specialized branch of magic though generally more useful in fights than wizarding magic that had become prevalently known as 'house keepin' magic' within the northern order, the term coined by Watie after seeing a charm to chop vegetables in a book that was for the National Examination Wizard Test.
Harry slipped a finger down the sun warmed limestone. "Borgia," He hissed annoyed turning around as he finally deciding to speak.
The rotund wizard recoiled in fear as the snake's tongue curled around his name, his momentary alarm caused his voice to escape him.
Pity this man did not posses his ancestors… tenacity when facing with a powerful military force, politicians the man could deal with, but military men frightened him beyond belief, and as far as he was concerned Harry may as well have been dressed in combat fatigues instead of the sorcerer lord's daily Black suit.
"Ye-s your Excellency," He began, "I do apologize the Italian government is resisting our efforts," the man eeped as Harry's fingers closed in to a fist slowly with deliberate caution.
"I see," The northern lord remarked, turning around resting on his fist's knuckles was a cardinal. "Oh well there is always plan b," The leader of the Cwn Annwn commented in an unconcerned tone.
The wizard blanched, "Plan B?" He exclaimed nervously "This isn't the bomb them into submission plan Excellency, I hope?"
"Not this time," Harry confirmed as breeze blew through the garden.

Harry glared causing his left to narrow exuding a fierce energy making many recoil and most look away from his eye.
Two other Cwn Annwn operatives at his side made no move to draw their side arms but their swords still not fully within their sheaths.
Faintly the northern sorcerer lord wondered if she had had more success with the Sharingan and other such things on her end, oh it wasn't unheard of for the sorcerer lords to collaborate with one another on research during peace time, in fact Harry had at least at least one project running which involved another of the rulers.
"You mean to inform me, fool," He hissed, "That inept your bureau has failed to stem the tide of rising demon related fatalities, most of which do not even involve these accursed toad creatures," the sorcerer lord hissed.
"Now see here we do have our best on this problem, we can fix it," Stammered the lesser sorcerer in charge of the United States CIA's Division of Magical Defense.
"See
to it you do," Intoned in a raspy voice one of the Cwn Annwn
guards. "Or we shall return," A green light glowing from his
eye.
"No more of these public spectacles," Harry added. "Lest
you want your nation turned into a set of provinces in the greater
sorcerer lords' Empires, or did you seem to suddenly forget Joao's
most recent incursion."
This was not a pleasant turn of events, he had expected the frog creatures, that he had been tipped off about, but these seemingly random incursions, and the assassinations which had left two senators dead already as was a Supreme Court justice.
"We've
narrowed it down, Demonic Order dating back to the time of Solomon."
Stated the sorcerer, "We know the perpetrator, we just don't know
the motive,"
"Does it appear I care," The northern lord
glared, "I have no interest in your politicians deaths, stop those
attacks or else."
He was already aware of that group, why the heck couldn't he have been dealing with the order of the blood lickers, at least they could be reasonable, and have a clear motive, but these assassins were infamous, but more than that used cursed munitions and weaponry blatantly flaunting their advanced status.

"Burma is holding out for now."
Harry nodded, he was aware but if came to a direct conflict the little nation would be overwhelmed, the leader of the Cwn Annwn might have controlled most of the former colonies but if she decided to launch an invasion, while quite unlikely still might occur, her numbers would eventually overwhelm the native forces and the Order forces stationed to assist.
"Well
perhaps deterrence-" Suggested one of the assembled Cwn Annwn
Division Leaders.
"We are not giving them the pure fusion bomb."
Isaac stated with a scowl. The forge master took his job very, very
seriously, and the only way he would hand over such an advanced
weapon was by direct order.
The northern lord nodded his assent, "He is correct that would be to extreme, we can not tip our hand at this moment." He remarked. "Besides we have a limited arsenal of those weapons, if we had to establish a deterrence I would be more content to hand over one of the many conventional nuclear or thermo nuclear weapons." It was true convincing the Russians and other former soviet bloc nations to hand over their nukes was easy enough; mind control was so very useful of a tool.
Harry quietly reached for a scroll,
"The matter doesn't appear to be proceeding to shift dramatically one way or another and no one in the last five generations has violated the silent agreement not to launch a massive offensive for a year before or after the councils, even Joao has respected the unwritten tradition." He remarked.
"It would frankly be like him asking Alex to kick his ass," Brandon commented, "At least if he did try to launch an offensive."
Jean nodded his head in agreement though he scowled at his uh choice of language on the matter.
The leader of the sweepers raised his stud patterned glass, still at least half way filled with a light amber liquid, Jean's beverage was almost clear, were Isaac's was a vivid red wine, while the northern lord's drink was nigh black

Helltanz's notes: As for the Russians getting help, lets face it he's looking at the big picture China is under basically puppet of one of the Sorcerer Rulers, in the event a Sorcerer War goes wide scale public, (World War III), the Dragon (China) will be fighting for her, Harry's looking to uh… whip the Bear (Russia) back into shape as it were, so the first Chechen war will turn out slightly better, for Russia and Chechnya in the end.
Thus both red states will fight one another in the event of a Sorcerer conflict between the two, North and East, course in one of the earlier drafts I was going to go ahead and have world war three occur between Russia and China among others but that's irrelevant now.
