Chapter Thirty-Seven: Terror and Chaos

World in Panic Mode
By: Oswald Rapture

The Magical World is in panic mode as officials from the Ministry of Magic disappeared into thin air. No one knows how or why this has happened, but the very people that we relied upon to govern us have vanished without a trace.

Things had been bad in the world, which started with the death of beloved headmaster Albus Dumbledore. When he was killed right in the school that he loved so much, people worried about what would come next. Then we found out that our hero Harry Potter had been kidnapped at the same time. Then another student was kidnapped from the school and yet the Ministry, and more specifically the former Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge did nothing to help.

What followed was a series of strange events in that Harry Potter escaped from the kidnappers only to disappear once more. Then Cornelius Fudge vanished along with Dolorous Umbridge. Some have speculated that they ran off together, but now with more government officials disappearing we are left to wonder.

Could it be possible that the former Minister and Undersecretary were actually taken just like the rest of those that worked at the Ministry? If so then we must wonder why it happened and when will it stop?

Harry sat down the Daily Prophet he had been looking at and gave a light laugh. "They still call me a hero, I guess they never found out that I was the one that killed Dumbledore."

"You'll never get away with this" Pius Thicknesse said from the chair that he was restrained in across from where Harry stood.

Harry laughed again as he picked up another paper "I guess they teach Ministers of Magic denial before they take office, because Fudge thought the same thing. He is still a guest in one of my cells."

Thicknesse paled a bit more, which made Harry grin wider as he looked at the next headline.

Purebloods Flee in Terror
By: Rita Skeeter

With so many pureblooded families disappearing and the disappearance of Lucius Malfoy, other prominent pureblood families have fled from Britain in fear for their lives. Those that stayed behind stated that they didn't believe they were in any real danger, so they were staying…

Harry laughed as he sat down that portion of the paper. "They're right, as long as they aren't like you, they are safe."

"What do mean like me?"

"Well Pius, can I call you Pius? You are corrupt, and looking to promote the views and beliefs held by Tom Riddle also known as Voldemort."

"That is absurd!"

"Really" Harry said with a laugh. "Then why would you fire anyone that stood against you and your ridiculous legislation to control muggleborns and limit their role within our world?"

"You have no idea how hard it is to keep a government running" Pius said defiantly.

"Maybe so, but I do know that legislation against Muggleborn rights is wrong. I do know that you and all those like you are nothing more than bigots that want purebloods to rule while crushing all those you deem inferior. I also know that it all ends, because all of you have been found guilty."

"You talk about guilt! You are a murderer, a kidnapper, and who knows what else. If anyone should be locked behind bars it is you, not me."

"I can't disagree with you there, I do deserve to be behind bars, but seeing as I am the one in charge around here that isn't going to happen."

Before Pius could say anything Dobby popped into the room where Harry was talking to the former Minister of Magic.

"Dobby" Harry said a bit out of shock since he didn't expect Dobby to come by. "What's wrong my friend?"

"Harry, I thought you should know right away. The ICW is in an uproar following the disappearance of all the Ministry officials."

"Of course they are" Pius said with a laugh "they will find us and then you will get what is coming to you."

"Shut it Pius or I will silence you" Harry said with a sneer. "What is the ICW planning Dobby?"

"Reports indicate that they are sending in a special team to check out the Ministry building and see if they can figure out where all the officials went."

"Well that was to be expected; have a small team stake out the Ministry. I want them to watch the ICW team, and see if any of them bear the dark mark. If they find any with the mark then you know what to do, otherwise leave them to their job, and just observe their progress."

"I will relay that to the team sir."

"Was there anything else to report?"

"Yes sir, it would appear that the board of governors is also in an uproar. They lost Malfoy earlier, and then they lost two more members in the round up. Also with families fleeing the country, there are rumors that they will close down Hogwarts."

"I will have to deal with that at some point, for now though have a couple of your team check out the board members. Also ask Griphook to check their background and see if they are corrupt or aiding Voldemort's causes. If so then have the team send them here, if not then I will deal with the board later."

"Yes sir" Dobby said and then vanished from the room.

"What in the hell was that?"

"That was Dobby, and the commander of an Elven force that I command."

"That wasn't a house elf…"

"No, he was once a house elf, but only because of the curse put on his race by humanity. I removed the curse and my friend is now back to how a real elf should be, how all elves should be."

Pius laughed, "house elves aren't friends, they aren't cursed, they are simply slaves."

Harry glared at the former minister of magic. "I was going to make an example out of you, but now I think I will allow the elves to do that."

Pius laughed again, "oh I'm shaking in my boots."

"You should be, because my example would have been quick, now it will no doubt be slow and painful."

"You're joking" Pius said with a laugh "elves are pathetic."

"Dobby!" Harry smirked as he waited for his friend to show up, because he knew that Pius wouldn't be laughing when the elves got done with him.

There was a pop as Dobby appeared in the room. "You called sir?"

"Yes Dobby, I have changed my mind about Pius Thickness. Pius believes that elves are no more than slaves to man, so I will not be using him in my demonstration."

Dobby grinned, "Yes sir, I shall get you another subject. What would you like done with Thick-Head?"

"Please return him to his cell for now my friend, and later I will be turning him over to you. When the time comes you will be allowed to show Pius how bad it is to underestimate elves."

"Great" Dobby said with a feral grin. "I will be sure to show him exactly what it means, when you give the order that is."

Harry laughed "I know you will my friend, but please don't hurt him too badly before the demonstration."

Pius still remained full of himself as he smirked "you're both pathetic."

Dobby smacked Pius upside the back of his head. "He said not to hurt you too badly, but you forget that magic can heal a lot."

Before Harry can say anything Dobby grabbed Pius and left with him.

"I hope Dobby can restrain himself from killing that pious bastard."

A few minutes later Dobby returned with another subject. "Harry this is Todd Daniels, and he is a confirmed supporter of Voldemort."

"You'll all get what's coming to you when the Dark Lord returns."

"Save your speech, I've heard it many times" Harry said as he cast a silencing charm at Todd. "Dobby what did this scum do for Voldemort?"

"He was an informant within the Ministry of Magic. He passed information to Voldemort, and in return he was given young women as payment."

"Thank you, this scum will do nicely for my demonstration. Is the site set up, I would rather get this done sooner than later?"

"Yes sir, and the second location will be done within the hour. I have a team finishing it up as we speak."

"That's great, thank you Dobby. Also thank your teams for their help as well, you have all done more than you should have had to do."

"I will sir" Dobby said with a grin. "Would you like me to take this scum to the site now?"

"Yes thank you Dobby" Harry said as he stood up. "I will meet you there soon my friend."

Dobby nodded and then disappeared with Todd. Harry smirked and then Apparated to the site where he would demonstrate what muggles have achieved.

The area was set up on the island with seats setup all around a closed off square section. The rest of the prisoners were placed into the seats with restraints to prevent them from escaping. Dobby was standing beside Todd when Harry arrived beside them.

"You have all been found guilty of being supporters of Voldemort or just stupid bigots." Harry had amplified his voice so all those seated around could hear him clearly. "Today you will see if this man is superior to muggle ingenuity and invention. Todd Daniels you have done many things that would earn you life in Azkaban at the least and death by Dementor's kiss if full punishment were administered for your heinous crimes. But I am not the ministry, and I am prepared to show some mercy to you."

Todd grinned as he looked at Harry since he believed that he would get off the island and set free.

"I wouldn't grin scum before you know what you need to do. You see that fenced off section with the table at the end of it?"

"Yeah so what?"

"So what? Well I will tell you smart-ass. On that table there is a box with ten wands inside it. If you can make it to that box then you will get your wand and so will nine other prisoners here."

Todd laughed, "That's it? All I have to do is make it to that box? Here I thought it would be something difficult."

Todd moved to the gate on the fence and walked inside with a huge grin on his face.

Harry grinned as he made the gate close and lock behind Todd. "Oh trust me it wont be simple Todd. I failed to tell you that those people you call worthless muggles have this invention. Its called a landmine, and well I would watch where I step if I were you."

Todd laughed not knowing what in the hell Harry meant by landmine. He didn't care though because in his mind muggles are dumb and incapable of doing anything better than a pureblooded wizard. He made it about five feet before there was a loud explosion and pieces of Todd Daniels was launched all over the fenced off area.

"That was only a small example of what muggles have achieved over the years. Purebloods have been trying to keep our world hidden and stuck in the Victorian era, but have failed to learn what has been happening outside our world. Dobby if you could have a team clean up this mess please, and set up the screen so that these people can watch the second display that I have for them."

"As you wish sir, and I will get you the second subject as soon as we are prepared."

"That will be fine, I am going to grab some lunch, and then I will go to the next location."

The screen that Harry requested was a large viewing screen that would be connected to a recording crystal. That way the prisoners wouldn't need to be moved to the other location since the next example would be in too large of an area for them to see. The crystal would be charmed to follow the subject and show everything on the screen for the others to see.

True to his word Harry showed up at the second location when he finished his lunch. Dobby was standing there with another male subject that was restrained and silenced.

"Ok Dobby who is the next victim, or should I say subject?"

"This is Ryan Gallher, and he is also confirmed to be a Death Eater that has an issue with treating women properly."

"I sense a theme here, but that isn't an issue. Ryan as you witnessed the last demonstration I am sure you think that you will have a better chance with this test. Well I assure you that this won't be like the last one. This area is a swampland and in it there are a lot of nasty things. The least of which is the swamp itself. I have decided to show this area to all those imprisoned here because venturing into this section could be hazardous to any that enter. There are muggles in the United States that live in an area called the Everglades. While those people have learned how to live in such an environment you bigoted purebloods have not. I am not without compassion, and as such I am willing to offer you freedom. The catch is you must make your way through this area alive to get your freedom. Failure means death, so if you want your freedom I advise you not to do anything stupid, because stupidity will kill you here."

All the prisoners in the seated area could hear every word that Harry said as the recording crystal floated in front of him and displayed his little speech on the screen for them to view.

Dobby removed the restraints and unsilenced Ryan before he disappeared with a pop. Harry grinned and Apparated away as well since he knew that Ryan couldn't escape the swamp area.

Ryan started to walk into the swamp area and found the water reached his ankles in the area that he entered. He saw the crystal following and smirked at it. "You call this a challenge? I will make it through here and then I will come looking for you!"

His smirk didn't last long as he continued to move in the water and soon found that he was getting deeper. Trees covered the area, making it hard to tell where he was going, or what might be hidden around them or in the water. The water was up to his knees as he continued on his journey. Then, as he was walking, he fell into the water, because of a log that was submerged below the water out of sight.

Ryan picked himself up out of the water, soaked and furious. "You think this is funny? Well I'll be laughing when I gut you like a pig and torture everyone you love."

Ryan continued on through the swampy water not noticing the bubbles coming from the water as he passed by. He was just lucky that it was merely swamp gases bubbling up and not a predator lurking there waiting to devour him.

Ryan continued through the watery swamp and believed that he was home free when he came out of it into an area with dry land. The problem was the high grass he entered was saw grass, thus called that because it was razor sharp. Ryan found this out as he continued through it, and ended up cutting himself all over his body. The small cuts might not kill him, but they were surely causing him immense pain.

He laughed as he got out of the grass. "Do you think some minor cuts will stop me? Well think again, I will survive and when I am free I will make everyone pay for this humiliation!"

Ryan continued on and with each step he believed he was getting closer to freedom. The problem was in his arrogance he didn't pay attention to the fact that his surroundings had changed again. He had entered into a muddy bog, or swamp mud as some people call it. His feet sunk in the mud and each step was harder than the last until he sunk waist deep in a sinkhole.

The more he struggled to get out the faster he sunk down in the mud of the hole. Because each time the suction pulled him further down until all that could be seen was his head. Still the arrogant bigot struggled and soon he was gone as the hole swallowed him whole. The muddy water suffocated him to death, and thus his bid for freedom had come to an end.

The crystal vanished once Ryan was dead, and the footage ended on the screen. Harry reappeared to stand in front of those that watched Ryan die in the swamplands of the island.

"That was only a small example of what you will encounter on this island." Harry said, again with his voice amplified for all to hear. "You will be released to your own devices on this island. If you wish to live then I suggest you figure out how to find shelter and food quickly. Otherwise something on this island might just find you to be their next meal."

With that said Harry allowed the elves to remove the prisoners from their seats and set them loose on the island. Harry then returned to his cottage on his island, but he could keep an eye on those on the island with the aid of the crystals that was set up to monitor things. After all what fun would it be to trap people and not be able to see how they either managed to survive a day or killed by some nasty critter on the island.
