Dumbledore was speechless at the sight before him. The real Boy-Who-Lived beating Voldemort with his fist. He had spent all this time on the wrong boy! He should've been subtly manipulating Harry to be his successor and not Richard! All those years and plans wasted!
The crowd cheering loudly at the sight of Harry's savagery. The cheered louder when Voldemort apparated away in defeat.
Dumbledore needed to reign in Harry, and quickly. He killed all of those people! And the way he viciously beat Voldemort was not akin to the Light. His plan was to have the Boy-Who-Lived take on his mantle as the Leader of the Light. He needed to talk to Harry about stopping this violence. He got up and walked to his office in a brisk pace. He needed to bring the Order back.
Everyone in the crowd were terrified at the fact that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned, but they were ecstatic at the fact that there was someone who was stronger than him, and could beat him.
Everyone quickly left to spread the news of Voldemort's return.

When the Aurors arrived, they were impressed and terrified at the slaughter that was before him. All at the hands of one boy, no, man.
They unmasked the dead Death Eaters and found several heads of known Dark families.
The head of the DMLE, Amelia Bones, was the only one brave enough to approach Harry and get an official statement from him, and to also hand something to him that will hopefully be enough incentive to keep him in Magical Britain and help in this new war.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Lord Ravenclaw."
"Sure. I'm leaving now. I'm not really fond of the scent of death."
He then disappeared in a wave of flame, much to Amelia's shock. 'That wasn't apparation...'

With all the other students in their dorms, being that it was Sunday morning, and there were no classes, Dumbledore had gathered the Order in the Teacher's Lounge. Sirius refused to have his home used to have meetings there given the absolute distrust he has for Dumbledore. Harry was also asked to be in the meeting.
"I thank you all for arriving so quickly. As you all may have heard by now, Voldemort has returned." Dumbledore started. "He was beaten by Mr. Potter before he escaped."
Those who have yet to hear the news was shocked. A seventeen year old young man was able to do what Dumbledore couldn't, make Voldemort flee.
Harry just shrugged when all eyes shifted to him. "I had good teachers. Why am I here exactly?"
"So that we can work together and end Voldemort." Dumbledore replied.
"No, thank you."
The room was surprised at the quick response. While it was true that Dumbledore's popularity was diminished greatly, no one has directly denied him anything so quickly.
"I beg your pardon?" Dumbledore asked, flabbergasted.
"I said no. I won't be joining an illegal vigilante group to destroy the murderer of my grandmother. Hell, I'm only involving myself in this mess, because the filth bragged about killing my kin. I would've just left right after the third task was done."
Shocked silence followed Harry's statement.
"You wouldn't have helped us?!" One order member yelled.
"Why would I? It's none of my business what happens in this country. Did none of you wonder why no other magical country came to Great Britain's aid during the war?"
"We didn't really think about it." Lily responded.
"It's because they were disappointed at how you all handled it." Harry answered.
"What do you mean by that?!" Molly Weasley demanded.
Then Harry began his explanation.
"During the war. Magical Britain had a population of about 3 million give or take a couple thousand. Voldemort only had several thousand following under him. His youngest recruits came fresh out of Hogwarts, because children weren't being properly disciplined for bullying other students and weren't punished for using terms such as 'mudblood' or 'blood traitor'. Hell, they still aren't, to this day!"
Harry looked directly at Dumbledore for this and his next statement.
"And let's not forget how your dear Leader of the Light refused to let any of the Aurors or Hit-Wizards, who were trained to use lethal force, do anything besides body binds and stunners. The death eaters easily undid both spells on their comrades and continued reeking havoc. By not letting the Aurors and Hit-Wizards do their jobs, close to a million and a half of Magical Britain were murdered, including entire Noble Houses, and most of the policing force of this nation. I won't even mention the death tole on the non-magical portion of Great Britain. This time around, I hope you can come to your senses and stop using non lethal force, I know I will be using lethal force, and I will do so with extreme prejudice."
Harry turned to walk out, but was stop by Dumbledore talking.
"I cannot allow you to go around killing all of these people. You are talking about murder! They all deserve a second chance. Everyone is redeemable."
"First of all, old fool, I've been deputized by Amelia Bones, meaning, yes, you can let me go and kill death eaters. Second, these people were given their second chance when they bribed and lied their way out of a jail sentence. They chose to return to their Dark Lord. They had their second chance already. Now their lives are forfeit." Stated Harry flashing his Auror badge Amelia gave to him at the graveyard. "Now I'll be on my way."
He left without turning back.

Thanks to several large donations to the DMLE from Harry using the Ravenclaw vaults, Amelia was able to bolster the Aurors to an outstanding amount, not even counting the Hit-Wizard force. Reserve Aurors are able to be on active duty, while those that transferred to America were able to retransfer back to Great Britain. The Americans had more than enough police, so they were able to return without hassle.
Alastor Moody was having the time of his life tort- training new Aurors to bolster the force even more.
Now Great Britain was ready for attacks that are sure to happen.
"Once again, thank you milord, for your generous donation to the DMLE. Thanks to you, will for sure win this coming war." Madam Bones said as she spoke to Harry in her office.
Akeno and Grayfia already went home, but Ryuujin allowed Harry to stay and finish his business here.
"You're welcome, Madam Bones. It was disgusting how negligent this country's government is towards there only line of defense." Harry responded as an Auror ran in the room, out of breathe.
"Ma'am! There's an attack happening in Diagon Alley! A large force!"
Both Harry and Madam Bones leapt towards the Floo and made it to Diagon Alley to see death eaters causing a massive panic.
"Lethal force only! This was their second chance and they blew it!" Harry yelled.
"You heard the man! Move!" Amelia yelled, and the Aurors attacked.
It was brutal. Many Aurors were injured, but twice as many death eaters lost their lives. A small handful apparated away once they saw Harry, while the rest stupidly believed they could be the one to kill him. They paid with their lives.
At the end only one remained alive and Harry quickly incapacitated him so he could be interrogated. Harry called Amelia over.
"Legilimens." Harry looked throughout the death eater's mind to look for what Voldemort was planning.
As this was happening, the Order of the Phoenix arrived and most were shocked at the sheer carnage that surrounded them.
Dumbledore saw where Amelia and Harry were quickly made his way over.
"It's terrible, but we're too late to stop it now. I know where they are hiding, and what the point of today's attack was, but it would be better discussed in your office as I see a angry old man coming my way."
"Mr. Potter! Look at all these men and women dead on the floor! All of these lives wasted! Do you not have any shame or remorse for your actions?!" Dumbledore raged.
"No." Harry spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"No?!" Dumbledore was incredulous. "You don't care for these lives you've taken?!"
"Of course not. These were death eaters. A group of murderers, rapists, bigoted monsters who take pleasure in causing innocent people harm. While I don't enjoy taking lives, I know when it is necessary to do so. Why are you so upset about these people's deaths? Did you want them to rampage through Diagon Alley and murder these innocents?"
"Wh-what?! No! I wouldn't want any one dead-"
"Not even Voldemort?"
"... yes, of course Voldemort needs to die!"
"Oh? Why is that?"
"Because he is evil incarnate! He cannot be redeemed! He is a danger to society!"
"Then why are you so upset about the death of death eaters?"
Dumbledore turned red. He turned around and walked away before apparating out of there, not noticing that they were being watched by everyone present.
"Thank you for knocking him down several pegs milord. Even after his scandal, his ego is still massive." Amelia spoke up.
"Not a problem, Madam. But we must go talk about what I learned though."
