12 Grimmauld Place, London, England

Harry Potter tossed and turned. He looked down at his feet. They were once again several feet in the air. He was in his Auror uniform rather than his Gryffindor long sleeve t-shirt and running pants. He took a deep breath and tried to steady himself. He found it nearly impossible. There was something inherently wrong with this situation. He tried to remember his Auror training. The ropes hanging him up were magical. He tried to reach his pocket. His Auror issued pen knife was nowhere to be found. His wand was unsurprisingly, also missing. Even his muggle gun was gone. He was totally defenseless.

"Bone of the father, flesh of the servant, and blood of the enemy" Harry saw the blood on his white sleeve. He looked down, expecting to see Wormtail. The Man was far too tall to be Wormtail. He was wearing a dark cloak and a mask. Harry recognized the mask. He had seen it before. The man who attacked him at the Knells house. It was him, here in Wormtail's place. Why was he in Wormtail's place? "I told you Mr. Potter, we will both finally get to fulfill our great destinies" the man behind the mask said. His hand was cut off at the wrist. The cauldron boiled. His head exploded in pain

"Robe me" a high cold voice muttered. The monster was now standing in front of him. Harry checked his pockets again. He had nothing to help him escape. "You succeeded in bringing me the guest of honor for my grand return, Yaxley. For that I will reward you" he created a metal replacement hand where Yaxley's hand once was. "Ah, speaking of our guest of honor," Voldemort turned to face him, "you may stop looking for your Auror trinkets. You will not find them" Harry hated legilimens "I'm afraid that only you can be here right now. While it would have been interesting to have your entire little team here, it would have been nearly impossible to do. Well, now I only have to kill you to ensure my return remains a secret"

"They know you took me. Grey's probably on her way with the team together now" Harry said smugly

"Tell me Potter, do they even know where you are?" Voldemort asked. Harry's face fell. Voldemort laughed. "No, they do not. Cut him down Yaxley. We must give him a chance to fight, don't we?" Voldemort said. Yaxley took out his wand. The ropes around him vanished. Thanks to his Auror training, he was able to catch himself. He landed on his feet. Yaxley shoved his wand into his hand. Harry took a dueling stance.

"Harry" Harry looked for who was calling his name.

"You remember how to duel, correct?" Voldemort smiled

"Harry" the voice called him again

"Harry!" Harry shot up in his bed. Ginny was staring at him. He looked at her expression but he couldn't make out the details. He reached for his glasses. He could now see her clearly. She took one of his shaking hands.

"Harry, are you ok?"

"Yeah, it was just a nightmare"

"They've been getting more frequent, haven't they?" Ginny asked

"Gin, I have a case involving death eaters. Of course they are going to get more frequent." He said, running his hand through his messy hair

"Maybe if you would just talk to someone-"

"I'm talking to you"

"A professional, Harry"

"Look Gin, I know that works for you but I'm not you"

"Please just think about it" Ginny said

"I will, I will. Good night Gin" he lied back down and tried to fall back to sleep. Ginny shook her head and lied back down. Once he was sure she was asleep, he turned to face her. He thought about her words. He had thought about it. He just didn't need the extra help. He could handle this by himself

Auror Office, Ministry of Magic, London, England

Harry Potter, Neville Longbottom and Ron Weasley walked from the apparition point to their office. They sat down at their desks. There was a large pile of paperwork on each of their desks. Harry took out a pen from his desk and got to work. He made it to his second page of paperwork when Grey left her office. She leaned over the banister. Her bandage was visible under her official uniform shirt. She walked down and stopped in front of the desks.

"All right everyone," Grey said. They looked up. Lyra came out of their office "I hope everyone brought a set of winter gear. We arranged a couple of interviews with some death eaters at the prison. Zaima and Neville, you will be interviewing Rabashton Lestrange and Alecto Carrow. Ron and Lyra, you will be interviewing and Yaxley Sr. You will be taking a port key to Azkaban in half an hour

"Wait, you actually want me to go out in the field?" Lyra asked

"Yes"

"But I'm the tech person, not the interview evil wizards person!" Lyra said

"Look, Lyra, we are down a person and I need someone to go with Neville" Grey said

"But what if-"

"You will be fine Lyra" Grey said

"What about me?" Harry asked

"You are not leaving my sight, so you are staying right here" Grey said

"I was cleared" Harry said

"Harry, you were nearly kidnapped two days ago, until this case is over, you are staying with me in the field. I'm not cleared until the stitches are removed in a week. You are on desk duty until then."

"But that's not fair, I can take care of myself" Harry said

"I also got sliced trying to save you so it's also to protect the team, if that makes you feel any better." Grey said. Harry sat at his desk grumbling as the other prepared to leave.
