Chapter 51 A New World

The days seamed to drag on and yet there was no sign of Kreacher, Harry had been spending the days walking around the house going from room to room. Ron and Kim where hanging out in the kitchen Ron teaching Kim how to place chess while Kim was teaching him different muggle card games. Hermione and Jack where sitting in the drawing room Jack watching the Death Eaters outside the door. Jack had tried to access the American Battle Net from his computer to find out what was going on however all he was getting though the American Embassy about the fall of the Ministry was reports on the media blackout that the Ministry had placed on the US embassy and others. They had even stopped the Daily Prophet from being delivered to the Embassy. They had also surrounded the Embassy to stop all personal from going out to collect information.

"A media blackout is not good is it?" asked Hermione as Jack looked out over the darkening street

"No, it means some bad stuff is going on." said Jack as suddenly his radio crackled.

"Colonel O'Neill do you hear me?" asked a voice over the radio.

"Carter?" asked Jack

"Yes, sir I am on the Odyssey we are about to beam down, place a marker." explained Sam as Jack pulled out a small matchbox sized item. He placed it in the center of the room before backing off.

"Sam you are good to go." said Jack as a blinding flash of light filled the room, a second later Sam Carter dressed in a black SGC uniform appeared in the room along with a huge metal trunk.

"It's good to see you Jack." said Sam with a smile as the two of them shock hands. "I brought some food supplies and other items you may need."

"Thanks Carter." said Jack

"How are you doing Hermione?" asked Sam

"Better know that Ron will stop complaining about not having enough food to eat." said Hermione

"Well glad I could help." said Carter as she opened the case to show row after row of food. "There are two deep dish Chicago pizzas a gift from General O'Neill."

"I would ask if he put what I like on it but he knows that." said Jack with a laugh.

"Hermione I need to talk to Jack alone for a moment." said Carter

"Alright. I will take the food to the kitchen." said Hermione as she waved her wand as the trunk full of food lifted off the ground.

"What is it Carter?" asked Jack as Carter pulled out a small folder from her backpack, on the front cover was the seal of the President of the United States.

"I have orders for you from the President of the United States." said Carter as Jack opened the file as he started reading the paper work.

"Is this real?" asked Jack as he read the lines.

"The names of the President, Vice President, Joint Chiefs and leaders of the house and senate are on the paperwork. They couldn't take a full vote of the congress but it's official." Said Carter "We are about to declare war against the Ministry of Magic in England and you are to take any actions you see fit to help bring them down."

"Any actions?" asked Jack

"Jack we haven't been able to confirm it yet because the Ministry is forcing every magical American in country to leave within 24 hours or be rounded up." Said Carter "We are in the early stages of a new Nazi Germany in England and the American and other world government doesn't want to sit back and watch another holocaust. Officially we are not ready for war…we need to finish the Ori off first."

"So black operations." said Jack "attack on key personal, positions, media."

"Correct." said Carter

"And why didn't you want Hermione hearing about this?" asked Jack

"Jack, Hermione and the others are great people and I have no dough that the five of you will make a great team during this fight but they are not members of the military and this is labeled as top secret." said Carter "Also the less number of people who know about this the better."

"I see." said Jack "and you guys?"

"We are going to leave for a major operation against the Ori and maybe it will end the war." Said Carter "Jack the Odyssey will break orbit within 24 hours and the Daedalus is in the Pegasus Galaxy dealing with the wraith."

"What if the Ori may launch an attack on Earth?" asked Jack

"With the ZMP powering the chair we should be able to fire back also we have a great back up." said Carter

"Ya, cloaking the entire planet." said Jack

"Well more of putting it out of phase with the rest of the universe." said Sam "Hopefully it will not come to that, three more ships are about to launch from our new off world ship yard."

"Off world ship yard?" asked Jack

"Yes, we are still finishing the factory and the first ZPM we made is power everything but the ships are preparing to launch." said Carter "The fact that it is off world means we can produce the ships in the open instead of underground and it has really spread up the process."

"What are the ships?" asked Jack

"Well two are the ships we promised the United Kingdom in return for the ZPMs." said Carter "The Arc Royal and the Prince of Wales. The last ship is the Chinese's Sun Tzu."

"I see, and we can expect them when?" asked Jack

"When they are done with their shakedown cruise they will head to earth they will be here in a little bit over a month for the first with all three arriving by Christmas." said Carter "Now I better get going."

"Thanks for everything Carter." said Jack as he handed the file back to Carter.

"Good luck Jack." said Sam

"Same to you." said Jack with a smile as Carter disappeared in a flash of light. When he walked into the kitchen he found everyone gathered around the table eating the pizza.

"This is an interesting dish…what is it called?" asked Ron

"It's a pizza…are you telling me you never had a pizza before?" asked Kim

"Well the pizza I had was thin." said Ron as he looked at the thick pizza

"You must have had a new York style." said Jack as he took a piece "This is Chicago style."

"I don't care what style it is, it is a lot better than eating those MREs." said Ron

"Ron…those meals are designed to be eaten in the field and it is a lot better than nothing." said Kim

"My mom can call food out of nowhere." said Ron

"Ron, that is impossible you can summon food if you know where it is at and even preserve it if needed but no one can make food out of nothing." Said Hermione as the sound of the front door opening caused all five of them to reach for their wands/guns. Their eyes widened as what appeared to be Dumbledore made out of dust charged forward.

"I am not Snape." said the voice as the dust cloud disappeared showing a man dressed in a black traveling cloak. He dropped the hood to show the face of Remus Lupin.

"It's me." said Lupin as he looked at all the wands pointed at him. Slowly one by one, Ron, Hermione, Kim and Jack lowered their weapons only Harry's remained raised.

"How do we know?" asked Harry

"Alright I am Remus Lupin also known as Moony the werewolf who is married Nymphadora who would rather be known as Tonks, I taught you the Patronus charm which takes on the shape of a Stag." answered Lupin

"Alright, I had to make sure." said Harry

"Speaking as your former defense against the Dark arts teacher I would be upset if you didn't." said Lupin as they walked into the kitchen. "It took a lot of skill to apprate on the front door step so the Death Eater's outside didn't see me."

"Do you want something to eat?" asked Jack as he took another bite of Pizza.

"How did you get all this?" asked Lupin

"Well…." Started Ron only to get a death glare from Kim

"We can't tell you but it came from a trusted friend." added Kim

"I see." said Lupin with a tired almost ghost like voice. "So you came straight here after the wedding?"

"No we had a run in with two pairs of Death Eaters at Tottenham Court Road." said Jack as Lupin's eyes widened.

"What?" asked Lupin "How did they track you?"

"We thought maybe the trace but we ruled that out because a Death Eater would have gotten close to him and that didn't happen." said Ron

"That would be impossible." said Lupin

"What happened after we left the wedding?" asked Harry as Lupin took a deep breath

"Ministry and Death Eaters stormed the place searching for you Harry." Said Lupin "At the same time they also raided every order house and everywhere you could be. Harry they destroyed Privet Drive."

"They thought I was still at the Dursley?" asked Harry

"No they destroyed all of Privet Drive…the entire neighborhood is gone." said Lupin as everyone's eyes widened.

"How did they get away with that?" asked Hermione

"Gas leak." said Jack

"Yes, that is what the muggle papers are reporting and in the Daily Prophet is reporting that they believe you are behind it." Said Lupin as he threw down the Daily Prophet, on the front page was an image of Harry with the bold headlines "Harry Potter Wanted for Questioning for the Massacre of 28 muggle and the Death of Albus Dumbledore."

"WHAT!" yelled Ron, Hermione and Kim as they stood up in shock.

"Smart." said Jack as they all looked at him.

"No one apart from Harry, the Death Eaters saw everything that night….I saw most of it but not all of it." Said Jack "And most people knew you didn't like your muggle home. So they say you killed Dumbledore and those muggles which cause people on the fence who may or may not believe you to go toward the Death Eater's line of thinking."

"Correct." said Lupin "It has caused people to dough you."

"They can't possibly believe this." said Ron

"It gets worst." said Lupin as he turned to the next page of the daily Prophet to show. "Muggle Born Registration Act."

"What?" asked Kim

"Recent research at the Department of Mysteries revealed that magic can only be passed down from a magical ancestor." read Lupin "This means that so called Muggle Borns must have gotten the magic by force. The Ministry will root out these usurpers of pure magic."

"They can't be doing this." said Ron "How could anyone believe this crap."

"You would be surprised what people can believe." said Kim

"Muggle born are being rounded up as we speak." added Lupin "They are having their wands taken and their lives ruined, some are even going to Azkaban."

"Welcome to the 3rd Reich." Stated Jack "Who is in charge of this?"

"Umbridge." answered Lupin

"Why am I not surprised." said Jack as he rubbed his temples. "She would be a perfect little Heinrick Himmler."

"So is Voldemort now Minister of Magic?" asked Harry

"No, he has his lackey Pius Thicknesse is Minister of Magic." answered Lupin "However there are whispers that Voldemort is behind it. Whispers only, everyone is too afraid to act."

"At one point in history the idea of American Independence was only a whisper and now we are the most powerful nation on earth." stated Jack

"Jack are not you worried about Hermione? She is a muggle born?" asked Ron

"Ron, we are hanging out with Harry Potter we have more to worry about to the Muggle born registrations." said Hermione as she crossed her arms "What is Voldemort's plan for Hogwarts?"

"It is now mandatory for all wizards and witches." said Lupin "However students must prove they have magical parents."

"They make wonderful hostages if their parents should act out." said Jack

"One other thing." said Lupin as he opened to the next page of the Daily Prophet to show a picture of Kim. "Kimberly Rilles Pureblood believed to have been kidnapped my Harry Potter."

"Looks like I am kidnapped now…" said Kim before she held her hands out to Jack "Jack get out some handcuffs looks like I am your prisoner now."

"This isn't something you can laugh at." said Ron "They think Harry kidnapped you."

"No Voldemort just wants me alive to get to my dad, nothing more." said Kim

"Harry there has been rumors around the order that Dumbledore left you with a task?" asked Lupin as Harry nodded his head.

"Yes." said Harry "Ron, Hermione, Jack and Kim are coming but if Dumbledore didn't tell you I can't."

"You don't have to tell me anything just let me come with you." said Lupin

"What about your wife?" asked Hermione

"What of her?" asked Lupin

"You are leaving your wife to come with us on a mission you have no idea about…we want to know why." said Jack

"Tonks will be safe, she is at her parent's house." said Lupin

"Tonks….Tonks would never hid she would be out in the middle of everything fighting." said Ron

"Tonks….is." started Remus as if he didn't want to say it "She is pregnant."

"Congratulation." said Hermione with a smile

"So will to you take me up on my offer, will five become six?" asked Lupin "I don't think Dumbledore would mind."

"So you want to leave your wife and unborn child to go with us?" asked Harry

"She will be safe." said Lupin with a force smile "I am sure James would have wanted me to look after you."

"I am sure my dad would have wanted you to look after your family." said Harry as all the color drained out of Lupin's face.

"It's hard to explain." said Lupin

"Then explain." said Kim as she crossed her arms across her chest. "We got time."

"I made a mistake marrying Tonks." said Lupin

"Do you love her?" asked Jack as Lupin looked at him "Do you love her?"

"Yes." said Lupin

"Then how could it possibly be a mistake?" asked Hermione

"My kind doesn't normally breed." said Lupin "I have doomed Tonks and our child to be outcast, the child will be like me."

"Like you as in brave, loyal and a good person." said Jack "Or do you fear your child will be a werewolf."

"Yes." said Lupin as he looked at Kim "Do you have the cure? So maybe my family can be normal."

"Kim you should tell him." said Jack as Kim took a deep breath.

"Lupin the key plant we need to make the potion was destroyed in a wild fire." said Kim as Lupin lowered his head "We are still looking for another supply but it isn't looking good."

"Then there is no hope." said Lupin

"No there is always hope." said Jack

"No…the child needs someone better than me, the child if by some miracle isn't like me then he or she will be ashamed of me." said Lupin

"Lupin how could they be ashamed of you." cried Hermione

"I don't know Hermione I am ashamed of him." Said Harry as everyone looked at him stunned at what Harry was saying. "If Muggle-borns are bad in the new government how would they treat members of the order who are werewolves? My parents died to protect me and yet you are ready to run off with us leaving your family behind. You make me sick."

"How dare you." snapped Lupin

"I would never believe this that the man who I considered one of the bravest person I know to really be a coward." said Harry as Lupin jumped to his feet before sending a pushing spell out which sent Harry smashing into the far wall.

"Harry." cried Kim as Lupin ran out the door apprating the moment he was outside the door.

"Harry how could you do that?" asked Hermione as Harry stood up.

"Easy…he had it coming for abandoning his family." answered Harry "Parents should abandon their kids unless they have too."

"Harry I can understand why you did that but did you have to call he that? Couldn't you have just told him no and go home." Asked Jack

"If it makes him go back to his family it is worth it." said Harry as he stormed out of the room.

"I am going to see if I can talk to him." said Kim as she stood up.

"I am coming with you." said Hermione as she followed Kim out of the room.

"Well this got even more interesting." said Jack

"Interesting? How could you say that Hermione is muggle born she is in so much risk right now don't you care about her?" asked Ron as Jack slammed his open hand on the table.

"Of course I care, but you heard Hermione we are with Harry so we have more to worry about then some fucking show trials." said Jack as he took a deep breath "Besides if we defeat Voldemort this will all go away."

Before Ron could say anything a large snap filled the air as Kreacher appeared dragging a balding man.

"You must be Mundungus Fletcher." said Jack as he pulled his knife as he walked toward Mungungus.

"Did you send this house elf on me?" asked Mungungus

"I am only going to ask this once." said Jack as he slammed his knife down on the floor between Mungungus legs, the blade sticking in the floor. "Then I am going to use this on you."

"What do you want to know?" asked Mungunus as Jack picked the knife back up.

"Nothing much where is the locket you took from this place?" asked Jack

"I had to give it away to a ministry official….Amdge, Uban…I don't know." said Mungunus

"Umbridge?" asked Ron as he picked up an old paper with her face on it.

"Yes… she is the one." said Mungunus "Just don't use the knife on me."

"I wasn't going to use the knife on you." said Jack as he pulled out a tuna sandwich from the bag before taking a bit "I just wanted you to think that."

"Kreacher when did you get back?" asked Harry

"Only a few moments ago master, your American friend already learned the information on Regulus locket." Said Kreacher

"Umbirdge has it." answered Jack

"Now what do about him?" asked Ron

"I think we need to send him somewhere where he will not cause trouble. He knows where we are." said Jack as he pulled out his ZAT and quickly shot Mongunus.

"Why did you do that?" asked Ron

"To save some trouble." said Jack as he looked at Harry "I think the American Embassy can hold him."

"Alright Kreacher take him to the US Embassy." Said Harry

"Mr. Fred Jones he is the wizard in charge of wizarding issues in England." Said Kim "Tell him Kim wants him held."

"Do you want me to do that Master?" asked Kreacher

"Yes, and Kreacher good job." said Harry as Kreacher smiled before taking Mongunus away.

"So we have to break into the Ministry of Magic." Said Jack
