n7kairos- Very good point I never considered wither of those things I was just considering the secrecy of Apparition versus the ease of the Quinjet carrying so many, but you are absolutely right.

BioHazard82- Thank you :).

NA- Anddd now introducing the Maximoff twins. Grindelwald and HYDRA think they have more of a hold on the twins that they actually do to the point they think the children trained as attack dog killers can be turned into retrievers. Hmmm wonder how that's going To work out for them? Super short but another will be coming soon, I hope.

"He wants to try to retake Diagon alley with a frontal assault. I believe at this time that would be extremely fool hearty. The vigilante group The Order of the Phoenix, as well as muggle-born and already graduated members of another similar group calling themselves the DA have taken up residence there. Most of the known members of the second group though seems to still be entrenched at the school. we have searched the castle many times, but not only can't we find their hidey-hole the searchers have been going missing. They are found days later wandering lost and, in some cases, not quite completely sane others at bottom of staircases or outside windows dead." Grindelwald gave a soft laugh at Vasily Karpov's information as the two of them walked down the hallways of the HYDRA Facility.

"Dumbledore always said that aid at Hogwarts would be given to those that ask. It seems the children asked." He shook his head. "Voldemort is a fool so it's no surprise that he acts like one. You don't beard the lion in its den and right now Diagon's alley is home to the entire pride. We need to concentrate in holding Hog's Mead and keeping the school cut off. There are many who will be reluctant to join the rebels as long as they believe we hold their precious children."

"What about going on the offensive?" Vasily asked. "If we aren't careful and we let either Potter's forces, or Voldemort's deatheaters gain to much ground we lose the advantage of being able to grab her without any governments sticking their noses in, or Voldemort killing her."

"So eager to get your hands on a teenage girl makes me wonder about you Vasily." Grindelwald said a almost teasing note in his voice. He'd found that he almost liked the man he was much easier to work with than Adolph, or Schmidt had ever been and was easier to guide than Albus no pesky morals to work around.

"And you're not? Either way having her power on side would make us near invincible if her potential is what you claim it is." Vasily answered leading him further down into the lower levels and into a laboratory type room.

"Don't worry about that. I've heard enough about Juniper Potter to know the only thing holding her back is her damn nobility and childish fear. Once she lets go and embraces the darker side of her nature her self imposed limits will fall away easily enough." Grindelwald answered. "Don't forget our agreement, Vasily. I get her first she only gets turned over to your little mad scientists if I fail to help her adjust her world view."

"Don't worry I remember." Vasily answered. He didn't like it, but Grindelwald was a ally of HYDRAs from well before his time. In fact, he'd been key in the organizations formation so the orders to pacify him in this matter came from much higher authority than himself. "You'll have your chance."

Grindelwald nodded. "As for going on the offensive we need to wait for Juniper to return to Britain."

"Are you sure she will? It would be much smarter for her to stay in America with her new father and the rest of The Avengers." Vasily pointed out.

"Yes. The girl who at 12 charged into a secret chamber under the school to face a 60 foot, 1000-year-old Basilisk with nothing but her wand and 2 years of magical education to save a girl she'd only known for a year is not one who worries over much for her personal safety. She's still operating on Dumbledore's philosophy of the greater good. Although he skewed her opinion of what that is." Grindelwald answered. "You said you had a weapon to help snatch her?" He asked. He sincerely doubted that whatever Vasily had to show him would actually be of much aid. He wasn't convinced the HYDRA higher-ups actually understood the power they were dealing with in Juniper, or the level of devotion she seemed able to spark in those that followed her.

"Oh yes." Vasily answered with a smirk reaching forward flipping a switch to remove the shield from the two-way mirrors set in the wall. In one of the cells revealed was a young man in his late teens, with white-blond hair. He seemed to be in distress as he moved, ran wasn't the right word as he was moving too quickly for that, and he seemed to be little more than a blur as he practically bounced off the walls. The red-haired girl in the other cell was around the same age and was holding her hands out some kind of wooden blocks seemed to be floating in the air as she waved her hands from where she was sitting in the floor directing their movements. With no wand.

"They aren't witches." Grindelwald said with a frown.

"No and they aren't mutants either. They are creations of HYDRA. their parents were killed in a bombing, and they hold Tony Stark responsible. Responsible to the point that they agreed to genetic testing as long as it gave them the power to bring down Stark. I think the idea of harming his daughter would be extremely appealing to them." Vasily explained.

Grindelwald smirked slightly as Vasily handed him a folder that would explain the powers of the twins more fully.

"I think it's nearly time to introduce Juniper...Stark and her friends to the twins." Grindelwald looked back up just as the girl Wanda clapped her hands together and the wooden blocks smashed together with a force that ground them to powder.
