[a/n000]Pixel suggests "DA storm the Ministry like the 501st on the Jedi". I guess JKR pretty much did that trying to rescue Sirius.

[a/n00]Whose side is Scrimegour on? Easy. Scrimegour's. Why the f- would he admit to putting the cabinet there in the first place? Overdeveloped conscience maybe. Or as below, Ron. :) Or an Auror dusted for prints.

[a/n0]Sakura Lisel asked a number of questions about SoHDD#165 that couldn't really result in a chapter. So retconning them 1]Draco could tell Voldemort he did his job and wouldn't want attention brought to the scheme so he stayed away. Outcome not his fault. 2]Harry being connected to both is an easy train. 10 bodies, found within hours, already known he'd killed 2, why not the other 8. Of course, maybe Ron is just a blabbermouth.

[a/n]There are often reviews 'I want a sequel!' I don't manage to get it done often as another idea gets in the way. In this case, as I wrote SoHDD#165 I read The-Voyage-of-the-Starship-Hedwig by Ynyr and the plot worked well. Guest appearance by my favorite cops

Harry Does Different CDaa

It All Began With a Rape

New York February 29 1996

"Hi there, sweetie. My name is Liv and this is my partner Elliot." The two detectives entered the hospital room and kept a non-threatening distance, they held up their badges "What's your name?"

The young patient gave a dazzling smile, she was a lovely girl. She answered "Laurie."

"We're only here to help." Said Elliot quietly "Can you tell us what happened?"

She shook her head as her smile fell, she didn't quite start crying "Nothing! I swear! I've never gone that far! Not with no one! A little kissing. A bit of touching."

"We're not here to judge." Detective Benson promised "You have nothing to prove to us. The doctors called us, as they have to when a girl your age shows up pregnant. If whoever did it hurt or threatened you, I promise …we both do… we'll make sure he never can again."

Detective Stabler gave a smile and just barely brushed the girl's shoulder with his fingertips "You know, I have a fourteen-year-old daughter. Just a little older than you. And I'd want to do everything I could to make it better. Even if you didn't see him. A voice, any hint, and we'll do all we can."

"I am telling you!" now she was angry "I've seen TV! It wasn't my Dad or my favorite uncle! It wasn't my boyfriend! I CANT be pregnant! NO ONE! YOU HEAR ME!" by the end of her rant she was screeching and throwing linens.

USS Enterprise May 1 1996

Laurie's case had gone cold. SVU simply had no evidence. The girl knew nothing and the detectives knocking on neighbors' doors got nowhere. That is, until security camera footage came to the squad from the New York Subway. The SVU detectives were aboard the giant aircraft carrier to give an update even if they didn't have any real answers. They were in the flag officer's suite with the video. There was the ship's captain, who was the young victim's daughter, and the Carrier Group's commander, an admiral.

"Detectives, this whole episode has been awful for my family." Said Captain Isaacs "We're Catholic so it is simply unthinkable to have an abortion, that baby will be loved. In a way it's comforting Laurie apparently has no memory of a rape, but …I have fought battles during my career… I will command my ship in any future battle, die if necessary… when it comes to my daughter I feel totally helpless."

Elliot nodded "I understand completely as a father myself. She's about Laurie's age. Captain, Admiral, that's why we're here. The video we have is complete. We don't understand several things about it. But a man approached your daughter at a subway stop, waved a stick in front of her face and to all appearances she went into the tunnel with him quite willingly. A different camera caught the rape as well. After… he waved the wand again … our lip readers say he used the word obliviate. Last, no special effects involved at all, he vanished, instantly."

"I'll take your word for it, Detective Stabler. I have no desire to watch it." Isaacs' tone was hollow "Well, with that video can you identify this rapist?"

Olivia answered "We have, Captain. At least the appearance. There is one sketch of the same man. We just have a timeline problem there because the sketch came from a rape that happened in Juarez Mexico at nearly the same time."

"NCIS will want a hand in this since it involves a Navy dependent. I'll have my agent afloat contact your precinct." His tone was that of a man used to giving orders. And being obeyed.

Elliot almost bristled and his reply wasn't exactly a yessir "We'll make sure our lieutenant knows to expect a call."

"If you have any questions, or Laurie remembers anything about the rape, please call. My card has both our numbers." Said the woman detective.

The troubled father nodded and shook hands "Thank you, Detective Stabler, Detective Benson. I'm sure either my wife, or I, will."

"Jason, have a seaman escort your guests and come right back." The admiral ordered.

When the captain returned, he shut the door and dropped into a chair without invitation "Jim, I can count the number of times you've used my first name among strangers on one hand."

"If you're not in the know, what I'm about to tell you is above your paygrade old friend. The man who raped your little girl is a wizard." The admiral said it with a straight face and turned to open a drawer. He pulled out an envelope marked EYES ONLY TOP SECRET. Then he put two glasses on the desk and poured from his bottle of whiskey.

Isaacs looked at his friend and superior with suspicion he was being pranked "Jim this is too serious. Don't mess around."

"There is a whole secret society of people with supernatural powers. I don't know millions. Every country has its quota." Jim spoke without the slightest humor "My Mom is what they call a squib. That's a person born into a family of wizards who doesn't have it. Whatever it is. It's like there's two worlds, theirs and ours."

The captain looked stunned "You're serious?"

"I told those civilian cops I'll call NCIS, and I will. But it's mostly a waste of time." Said Jim "They have their own government, laws and enforcement. We'll have to goto them to get this guy. That's a second call I'll need to make. We'll get justice for Laurie. Promise. That packet has an overview on those people."

The, of late, dour captain almost smiled for the first time in months. Military discipline returned between the friends. He stood, saluted and left.

Abcij

Soon after, word of the crime made it to the American President, who delegated it to his MACUSA ambassador. The Captain of the USS Enterprise had considerable weight. Resolution of the cross-worlds crime was in USA's national interest. Unfortunately, the prime suspect was a related to MACUSA's President. There wouldn't even be a hearing about extradition. Relations between the governments soured.

Then the Second Blood War heated up across the pond. USA watched innocent non-magical Brits die by the score. Suspicion of MACUSA soared. Then there was that fateful trip by the President to Europe. While not the top of the agenda, NATO discussed the Wizarding World at length. Voldemort was slain during the meeting. The Prime Minister told the President exactly how. On his return he gave exact orders to the FBI. Whenever a magical was identified, he or she was to be tagged with a tiny location transmitter. Such things were common in wildlife tracking. Ruins and deserted areas were swept with infrared scopes. Body heat was not immune to detection behind wards.

Worldwide senior law enforcement ordered their departments to do a review of unsolved cases for 'unexplained phenomenon' Every Head of State was presented with clear evidence of magic-based crimes. The Vatican was most informative as its Archives went back over a millennium. During this period USA-MACUSA relations were slowly allowed to return to normal.

A special UN session was cover for world leaders to secretly discuss the issue and what to do about it. USA disclosed its information gathering techniques. The British Prime Minister reminded the meeting of the solution to his problems, admitting somewhat ruefully who gave him the idea. There was outrage, it amounted to genocide. And it did. But was there an alternative? There wasn't. As it was, the Communist Parties of China, North Korea, Vietnam and the former Soviet Union had already done so under Stalin and Mao. Wizards were a threat to power. In the Islamic world magic was heresy, with its customary punishment.

USS Enterprise April 1 2000

Captain Isaacs was now Admiral Isaacs, commanding his carrier group after his friend retired. He was surprised by the orders he received, but nevertheless pleased. The entire US Navy had been ordered back to American waters. He would be easily able to attend Laurie's high school graduation.

June 19 2000 0630 GMT

For weeks, in some cases, US ships steamed up and down both coasts and the Caribbean. All US aircraft were to be in the air heading to specific coordinates. Every ship was given exact coordinates for a missile strike. Every state, territory and island had at least one target.

June 19 2000 1215 GMT

The fire order was received. All around the world military forces received the same order. Major targets within big cities like Diagon Alley in London and Prussia Square in Berlin were hit by precision missiles. It wasn't believed there would be no collateral damage, or normal-people casualties, it just had to be. Large, fairly isolated schools, that also had adjacent magical communities, such as Grand Canyon Sorcery and Franklin Village in MACUSA, Scotland's Hogwarts-Hogsmeade Township, Heike Academy and Omi City in Hokkaido Japan and a hundred others were nuclear targets. Lesser places, like Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour's beachfront cottage, were hit by a 5-inch naval shell.

Dragons evoked images of Jurassic Park so Charlie Weasley's dragon preserve, without wizards to control them, had to go. A WW2-style carpet bombing did the job since nuclear fallout in that region would kill too many. Russian-built planes would patrol the area for a time to ensure all the monsters were dead.

The strike was timed to coincide with the planned Quidditch World Cup in Iguazu Falls, South America. A nice big Fuel Air Explosive wiped out over 100,000. The damaged stadium could be repaired and used. Arthur Weasley, thinking 'Muggles are fascinating' and his Muggle Protection came to be loathed. What was he? A wizard SPCA? The UK had enough assets to spare his home a missile. And as long as a couple planes were in the area there were a dozen other similar objectives.

Luna Lovegood was preening and primping in preparation for her wedding tomorrow. Her father was most pleased with the match, he was helping with last minute preparations. The Rookery took a direct hit and they were consumed by fire before their home had time to collapse.

Ginny Potter was a rising star on the Holyhead Harpies, she just didn't quite make the cut for the national team …this time. In four years for sure. She didn't terribly mind, her husband's activities last night left her with a significant limp as she made her way downstairs for …well, brunch… Harry was making his way down, trying to keep a silly grin from his face. Thank Merlin for silencing charms. They died not knowing anything happened. Out in the chicken coop, Molly Weasley survived the first wave.

There were places where snipers shot people on the streets.

Few countries were completely unaffected, and they were mostly the smallest. There were large fires in many major cities. Even if you weren't directly affected, word quickly spread that nuclear weapons had been used. Many of them. Probably USA's and Japan's people were most stunned. Still alive were those who remembered the American bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was the opposite in USA; this scale of destruction had never been inflicted on the mainland.

The violence seemed to stop almost as suddenly as it started. As soon as early damage estimates were read, the demands for answers started. To the public, thousands were dead. The leaders who gave the orders knew the true number was in the millions. Early on it was agreed to tell the full story. Even the fact that this crime against humanity was committed knowing it was all but impossible to be 100% sure.

After the aircraft returned, Admiral Isaacs thanked the crew for their service, called his daughter to tell her he would attend her graduation. After which he printed his already completed retirement papers. He locked his cabin door and got drunk.
