Harry lay breathing peacefully thinking about what his next move was going to be. He knew Dementors, Giants and werewolves were Voldemorts go to shock troops.
He might be able to find individual werewolf willing to fight for him, but the larger packs of Europe were neutral and would not help him if it meant bringing down harsher laws and more restrictions on their kind. Most werewolf packs were peaceful and did not want to spread their sickness. Fenrir Greyback and his pack were the exception to the rule they had glorified in killing regular wizards and infecting others which was what got them killed (Well that and the contract landing in Harry's lap).
Giants Harry did not worry about, they were dangerous sure, but very easily killed with the correct strategy. They were Voldemorts idea of tanks, like the battle elephants of old. They were impressive to behold but they also made big targets.
No there was only one thing he could think of that he needed to nip in the bud, before they became a real threat. Dementors. They were what he would focus on next and soon, because if he knew old 'No Nose' he would not have taken kindly to the 'Reaper' destroying his plans for 'Diagon Alley', no he would regroup and try again with a stronger force.
Andromeda ran her bare leg over his sensually before propping her head on her elbow looking at him. "whats on your mind you seem deep in thought?" she questioned
"Dementors" Harry said absent-minded still gazing at the ceiling.
"Dementors, Harry it wasn't your soul I was sucking, it was your-
"Andromeda!" Harry cut her off before she could finish. "I was thinking about what our next objective will be and it's to take care of the Dementors" Harry finished his cheeks a little pink at her innuendo.
Harry was a little shocked earlier that evening when they aparated home from 'Diagon Alley' Andromeda captured his lips in a passionate kiss and practically pushed him towards their bedroom. Apparently adrenaline had a strange effect on Andromeda, she had been insatiable since they got home at ten and was still feeling frisky if the way she was rubbing her foot up and down his calf was any indication.
Trying not to be distracted by his wife (and seeing how she was propped beside him showing her bare breasts) it was rather difficult, Harry cleared his throat and spoke again "Voldemort will not give up and he's going to seek an advantage, in my time he used Dementors, Werewolves and giants. Now I've already dealt with his werewolf allies and he'll have trouble finding more, and the Giants will be easily dealt with, but the Dementors will be a nightmare if they leave that island and spread out across Britain" Harry explained.
"You really know how to kill the mood" Andy pouted "Can the Dementors even be killed?" she questioned.
Getting up Harry opened his trunk and dug around a minute before digging out a tome "Magick Most Arcane" by: "Myrrdin Emrys" and turned to page 427, then passed the book to her "I've always wanted to try that spell" Harry said in a childlike voice.
"The 'Demented flame', used to destroy beings from another plane such as Lethifolds, Poltergeists, ghost, spirits and Dementors.
side note: this spell is just as dangerous to the caster and can easily run amok without proper will power.
It then went on to explain the wand motions which were three parts to cast you first made a small circular clockwise motion when the spell formed in front of your wand, you jabbed your wand in the direction you wished the spell to go". She read aloud there were more wand movements but Andromeda skipped down to the incantation "Fiend ignus orbitus spiritum"
Andromeda gasped and narrowed her eyes at Harry "this is the base spell for fiend fire isn't it?" she demanded.
Sighing Harry nodded "back in the fourteen hundreds a band of Dark Wizards figured out you could cast only the fire part of the spell, but the results are almost impossible to predict" Harry said gently to Andromeda, having crawled back into bed and was rubbing her back in soothing motions to try and calm her.
"So you want to what, storm the prison, disable the guards and then cast the spell and leave? she finally asked him incredulously .
" Yes that is the rough idea though, I'll need you to get us back, the spell is very draining so I 'll be magically exhausted if I cast it on the scale I expect I'm going to have to" Harry answered her
"Well lets plan this out and we can try and and figure the details out tomorow, now I believe your ready to perform your husbandly duties and no more distractions" she purred grasping him under the covers.
Harry wasn't sure he would survive this night at the rate Andromeda was going she was going to kill him!

Evans Farm, Durham County, England, 9/25/1975, 21:30
The children were staying at Arcturus' for the night and Harry and Andromeda were getting suited up for a trip to the North Sea, Harry new exactly where the Isle of Azkaban was located from his days working in the Aurors after Voldemort fell in 98.' He had made many deliveries to that island before he was pressed into services for the D.o.M.
"Are you ready for this Andromeda? Harry asked her gently.
"Not really but I don't think I ever will be, are you sure this will work? she asked
"Yes I am sure it will work, we just follow the plan and we'll be fine. They are bringing the prisoners in at 9:45 so we had better move out" Harry told her trying to ease her worries before pulling her in to an embrace and gently kissing her "we'll be fine just stick to me like glue. We'll be back home before you know it".
She nodded and took his hand "I'm ready when you are" she said with an air of forced determination. He smiled at her before he twisted them into thin air with barely a sound as they disappeared.
5 miles away from Azkaban
They reappeared on the end of a dock stormy seas crashing into the shore behind them, checking his watch and seeing they had ten minutes to cross the reach, Harry unshrunk his 'Nimbus Two Thousand' and helped Andromeda get situated before he climbed on behind her and reached around her to control the broom.
He kicked off hard and pushed the broom to the it's maximum speed to cover the five or so miles to the Prison Island. About a mile away from the island the cold made itself known and the wind and rain picked up intensity.
There were so many Dementors on this Island that they created their own micro climate, the cold coming off the island clashed with the balmy summer air of June from the surrounding area caused gail force winds that pulled all cloud cover in the area over the island and was the reason for the perpetual rain.
Harry had to fly diagonally and into the into the wind and let the wind right his course at the last hundred feet so he could land on the island, they touched down on the portkeys landing pad exactly were they needed to be.
Azkaban Island
"What time is it" Andi asked shivering from cold under her grey hooded robes.
Harry had shrunk his broom and placed it in his pocket and pulled out two chocolate bars handing one over to her before answering "9:43 we have two minutes, disillusion yourself and be ready" he said before taking a big bite of his chocolate and casting a disillusionment charm on his own robes (The robes amplified the spell til he was nigh invisible). He felt Andy place her hand on his shoulder so they wouldn't loose each other and waited silently in anticipation.
A blue flash appeared in front of them and eight people materialized out of nowhere, the Aurors started marching the prisoners as soon as they landed giving the prisoners no time to get their bearings. They moved in unison with the Aurors three in total forming a triangle one in front one of to each side, and five prisoners chained together Marched to the gate, with Harry and Andromeda bringing up the rear.
The procession came to a stop in front of a set of double doors big enough for a giant to walk through and the lead Auror a woman with auburn hair pressed her badge to a brass plate where a handle should be.
A voice seemed to come out of the door itself "Name and purpose for visit" echoed a whistly mans voice.
"Auror Captain Bones, Prisoner transfer" the female Auror barked out
There was a pause then a set of gigantic lock clicks before the doors swung freely and a gap of about five feet opened between the doors and then came to a stop only opening enough to allow them through, the procession advance forward through rhe gap.
They stepped into a vast barren courtyard. with only a rather large grave yard off to the right in the shadow of a tall slender triangular shaped tower there was a massive wall that the door was set into that surrounded the perimeter of the prison and the space within was barren. This place seemed so dead almost like they were on another planet or something.
As soon as he and Andromeda crossed the threshold of door Harry implemented stage two of their plan, raising his wand Harry fired a stunner and hit 'Captain Bones' square in the back. He went for another Auror but Andy had already dropped him less than a second after he stunned bones. Sighing he shot a stunner at the last Auror at the same time a red beam shot out of thin air also impacting the unfortunate Auror.
Dropping his disillusionment charm and sighing again he looked over the cofused prisoners and seeing the snake and skull tattoos on each of their arms since the we're wearing short sleeved inmate robes and their arms were bound in front of them it was easy to make out, they must have been captured in the Alley after he an Andi had left.
He scowled at them and then he cast a ribbon cutter into them not bothering looking at his handiwork he made his way to the gate house. He was surprised to see all the guards unconcious and bound already, and a smirking Andromeda twirling her wand annoyingly.
"Your really having fun tonight I see, did you find the medallions?" Harry asked exasperation evident in his tone.
She just smiled innocently and handed him four medallions, she was already wearing hers as we're her five unconcious guards. "Hurry up and get the Aurors in here" she mock ordered.
Walking back to where he left he unconcious Aurors he cast three "incarcerous" spells and slipped a medallion on each of them.
The medallions were charmed to act as a repellant of sorts so no Dementor could pass within five feet of a guard, to keep them from an accidental kiss. Harry didn't expect the Dementors to get loose but he didnt want to risk any Ministry workers getting kissed should an accident occur.
With a "mobilis corpus" he levitated them into the gatehouse and dropped them next to the guards who were bound inn ropes and laid on the floor.
Then turning to Andy he said "flip the switch". She beamed at him and reached up to pull a heavy old fashion wooden contact switch.
With a clang the large lever slammed into the contact activating the 'Lock In Wards'. A golden dome seemed to shimmer into existence locking the ward down that contained the Dementor to a couple hundred feet around the towers Main door. The dome would allow spells to pass through but the the Dementors could not leave that three hundred yard circle. It was a fail safe in case the Dementors got out of control and had to be contained.
"Well we're ready to go now, but how do we get the Dementor out of the tower?" It was Harrys turn to smirk before leading her out of the guard shack and locking the door behind them.
Harry raised his wand and concentrated on a day at 'Brighton beach' with the kids, "EXPECTO PATRONUM" he bellowed, and a silver light burst from his wand, it grew incredibly bright before taking the shape of a large female leopard that raced to the top of the tower vanishing into the roof. They waited a good minute or two before the Dementors exploded out the main entrance, there had to be more than two hundred of the foul creatures. When the last stragglers came out followed by his 'Patronus' he nodded to Andi who flicked her wand and sealed the door the Dementors came through (Trapping them outside in the wards), then Harry dropped his 'Patronus' charm.
Andromeda looked at him worriedly "Can the spell handle this many?" she asked uncertainly.
"Only one way to find out" he muttered. Raising his wand he visualized the Dementors burning, the hatred he had for their race and his desire to see them completely destroyed.
He made a circular motion with his wand and channeled all these emotions he had been building up into his voice "FIEND IGNIS SPIRITUM ORBITUS" He roared and a four foot hoop of white hot fire formed in front of him, jabbing his wand at the Dementors who had clustered together he sent the hoop high in the air obove them twisting his wand to the right making the hoop expand to over a hundred and fifty feet in diameter. The hoop fell harmlessly through the "Lock down Wards" over the Group of Dementors. Hovering about four feet above the ground encircling the now very shocked creatures, who tried to flee only to find they were trapped there inside the burning ring.
Nodding Harry jabbed his wand forward a second time, more rings started forming from the main ring like a giganticc fiery gyrosphere hundreds of rings each going a different direction enclosing the soul suckers inside a sphere of fire so hot that sweat was pouring from Harrys body even though he and Andi stood hundreds of feet away from the fire.
Now came the hard part, With a grimace he twisted his Wand to the left and the sphere that resembled a small sun started shrinking in on itself growing smaller all the while earsplitting shrieks could be heard coming from inside the conflagration. As the sphere shrank smaller and smaller Harry had to channel more and more power to keep the thing reducing in size. Harry could see black spots in his vision as the ball shrunk more. When it got to about four feet in diameter the ball exploded outward sending ash in every direction and extinguishing the flames.
Harry collapsed to his knees panting heavily stopping long enough to vomit. "we need to leave he gasped out still trying to catch his breath.
Nodding Andromeda helped him stand and half carried him through the still partially open gates.
"You did it" Andromeda said softly as they made it the short distance to the portkey area. She removed a Small skeleton key and placed Harry's had on top of the key and said "Home" With a jerk behind the navel, they dissappeared in a flash of Blue Light.

Azkaban Island, North Sea, U.K, 6/26/1975, 08:00
Azkaban Looked like a kicked over Ant hill, every department in the D.M.L.E was represented here, well except for 'The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts.' At the moment the top brass were demanding answers. There were five dead bodies, eight unconcious Ministry employee's, and the main cause of all the panic and chaos, no Dementors on the Island for god sakes the sun was shining here that hadn't happened in living memory!
Alastor moody had already grilled his Aurors and found out they were stunned almost the second they entered the main gates with their prisoners, who were in pieces all over the ground! The Aurors had been bound and placed in the gatehouse with the human staff of the prison, who also had no memory of seeing anyone. The "Lock Down Wards" were activated which only worked if every Dementor on the Island was in the Tower or the area of the ward.
Alastair was absolutely baffled about this whole situation and Crouch would be furious if he came back with nothing.
Hearing the sound of someone approaching him, He was shocked to see the Head Unspeakable come to stand beside him. "The Dementors were destroyed, we found evidence of a very ancient spell used last night that only a handful of people would even have the power to cast. Care to guess who's signature cast the spell? Kramer asked a hint of amusement in his voice.
"That bloke from the Alley? Moody asked still reeling from the news of the dementors being destroyed, he didn't even know that was possible..
"Indeed he goes by "Reaper", he's been taking care of a lot of problems for the Wizarding world. It was only a matter of time before those creatures turned on us, be it for a Dark Wizard that offered them more than we could , or it could have been as simple they grew tired of being our servants. Let the 'Reaper' do his work, by the state he left people in last night he clearly does not wish to harm innocents" Kramer stated simply.
"And what if we do try to capture him? Moody asked curiously.
"Then you could very well end up like those morons" Kramer pointed his thumb over his back at the pieces of Death Eaters laying all over the barren soil by the Gatehouse. "Anyway good luck head Auror" Kramer said as he stalked toward the main gate to leave this awful place.
"Well Fuck!" was Moody's eloquent reply.

Headmaster Office, Scottland, 6/26/1975, 21:00
This was a good news day, the Dementors had been destroyed. Albus had pushed to have them removed from that cursed Island for years. The reports had said they were incinerated by an arcane spell the 'Demented Flame' an arcane spell Albus wasn't familiar with. Sadly 'The Reaper' had killed the prisoners that were captured but once again he protected the innocent, the guards and Aurors were locked inside the gatehouse wearing the Dementor Repellent medallions. On the other hand 'The Reaper' seemed to really hate Tom Riddle maybe he should reach out to the man, maybe Albus could make him see reason, and realize that giving these men a chance at redemption was the right way to do things. Albus pondered this as he reread the reports again.

Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England, 6/26/1975, Sametime
This was a bad news day, Tom Riddle was furious 'CRUCIO' he roared at Corbin Yaxley after he had reported the destruction of the Dementors of Azkaban.
Yaxley was his man in the D.M.L.E, he worked in administrative services filing the reports turned in by Aurors in the field, and when he found the report Alastor Moody submitted he hastily made a copy and as soon as possible reported his findings to his master.
Voldemort released the spell, "Do they know who it was that destroyed my Dementors?" he asked deathly calm.
Yaxley trembled "Yes my lord the unspeakable confirmed it was 'The Reaper' the man answered his voice filled with Terror.
"Well then I think we should find out more about this Reaper, don't you agree Mr. Yaxley? Voldemort asked in a silky voice.
"Yes my lord" Corbin Yaxley answered quickly.
"Good then leave me I have to think on this" Was the Dark Lords command and Yaxley hurried to obey leaving the room as quickly as his screaming muscles would allow.
"Reaper you have just made an enemy of me" Voldemort muttered to the empty room.
'Perhaps it's time I present Bella and Abraxus with my Anchors for safekeeping, I am starting to wonder if it's time to make another one and complete the seven. The Reaper seems a much bigger threat than the old fool, I doubt he could kill me but better safe than sorry' were Voldemorts final thoughts before sending for his two most faithful to protect his treasures.
AN: In this story Abraxus was the one presented the Diary, Lucius found it years later after his father died and planted it on Ginny Weasley.
