The graveyard was misty and damp. The security wizards sent her there
when they saw the dark mark burning on Lucious' forearm. Voldemort was
already there with Peter at his side.
"What do you have?" Voldemort asked in a dangerously low voice, which made Peter wince.
"The house and property are protected by high level charms, some of which I do not know how to disarm. However, this will not be a problem. The man and women leave the house often. We simply must throw a curse at their car when they are leaving home. Muggle police will think their car exploded from a problem inside the car," Reena suggested in Narcissa's place.
"What about the house and the Dursley boy?" Voldemort asked angrily. Peter winced again.
"The boy is not a Hazard. He is away at boarding school. The house will most likely be rented to other Muggles. The Dursley boy will be left with other relatives," Reena said.
"What about the Potter boy?" asked Voldemort.
"He will have no where to go. Then out chance will be there," Reena said maliciously. She thought it would be the thing Narcissa Malfoy would do.
"I'm pleased with your work," Voldemort praised.
"Thank you my lord," Reena said. Before she was able to disapparate, Voldemort asked her another question. Reena's heart was in her mouth.
"Would you like to lead the attack?" Voldemort asked.
"Please my lord, I would like to lead a group of people. Perhaps if we took a group of women, we would appear less suspicious in the Muggle world," Reena answered.
"Would 5 do?" Voldemort offered.
"Yes my lord," Reena said as she disapparated.
The Shrieking Shack was buzzing with action. A dozen wizards had been sent for back up force. 9 o'clock Wednesday morning, Reena (looking like Narcissa) and 5 other women sent by Voldemort stood at an intersection where Vernon Dursley drove. They saw Vernon's Volvo pull up and all the women pulled out their wands. This was the security wizards' cue to arrest the women. In a few seconds of mass confusion, Vernon was pushed into the passenger seat was being driven away by a security wizard. The Death Eating women were subdued, arrested, and taken away. The rest of the security wizards went around the neighborhood modifying the memories of any Muggle who had seen the incident. * Reena sat calmly in the Shrieking Shack, nodding at the congratulations that were passed her way.
"Very good work Miss Delton," Dumbledore congratulated Reena.
"You won't be able to go undercover as Mrs. Malfoy anymore."
"I know," Reena said flatly, "what else can I do?"
"A group of goblins would like to meet with you about the Azkaban issue. They are refusing to meet with anybody else," Dumbledore told her.
"It would be my pleasure," Reena replied, flattered.
Goblins had always fascinated Reena. She was very short and liked the idea that other vertically challenged creatures could possess such powerful magic. She apparated to Diagon Alley and met a group of 8 goblins inside Gringotts. They sat inside a small conference room and discussed how to handle the "Azkaban coup". The goblins agreed to lend some of the Gringotts goblins until they could train more goblins to take over. They were stumped with what to with the Dementors. Reena informed them that they were re- joining the Dark side, and suggested that use a Patronus. Griphook reminded Reena that goblins did not have wands to produce a Patronus and that the goblin equivalent to a Patronus was unstable and easily backfire and inadvertently be used against the wizards. A thoughtful goblin named Grapplelock suggested that Reena gather a large group of wizards to perform the Patronus. Grapplehook thought that 35 wizards would be enough to deal with the dementors. Both sides agreed and Reena went back to the Shrieking Shack. She eagerly awaited her next mission. * Remus was concerned about what missions Reena was taking on. Most of them were dangerous. On top of that, she was leading the coup on Azkaban. Remus would have sent word to Sirius about what Reena was doing, but he knew that Sirius would die for Reena. In other words, he would come out of hiding to try and stop her. Remus said a small prayer every day that the 2 of them would learn to keep their sanity.
Reena planned a night attack. She had recruited all of the member's of LAV and a few trusted people from the office. They, plus about 25 goblins, would take 2 boats to the fortress. The witches and wizards would perform a Patronus while the goblins used their magic to overtake the fortress. If everything went right, Reena calculated the whole mission should take less than 1 hour. Reena was given approval by Dumbledore and Mr. Julius.
Reena left she had everything under control until she received a letter. It was from Harry and was very short.
Dear Reena, I think I saw Peter Pettigrew at school. Is it possible if you could come to Hogwarts soon? Dumbledore isn't in school right now. ~ Harry
Reena apparated from her flat to outside the Hogwarts grounds. She walked until she reached the front doors of the school. She used the huge brass knocker and waited. One of the massive doors cracked opened and Filch stuck his head out.
"What'd want?" he growled.
"I need to speak to Professor McGonagall. It's urgent if you don't mind," Reena said sharply.
"Who're you?" he growled again.
"Reena Delton," she identified herself.
Apparently, Filch had the common sense to be polite to members of the Ministry. He led Reena to a picture of a Chinese Fireball, gave the password ("Florinda") and walked in. Reenafollowed him. She saw McGonagall and 3 other professors sitting around a cozy fire, drinking tea.
"Er, Professor McGonagall, Miss Delton would like to see you," Filch said.
"Thank you Argus," Professor McGonagall said, and Filch walked out.
"Professor, I must see Harry," Reena asked.
"Is it urgent?" McGonagall asked.
"Damnit Professor, I wouldn't come from London if I didn't have an urgent reason. Will you let me see Harry or not?" Reena said as her temper was rising with every syllable. Minerva McGonagall could not remember a time when a former student had been so indignant and was thrown off by Reena's behavior.
"Come with me," McGonagall said, indicatiing she was not angry.
McGonagall gave the password ("luna") and let Reena into the common room. Many Gryffindor's were still up trying to finish their homework. McGonagall pointed to where Harry was sitting in a corner, and left. Reena made her way to Harry, trying to avoid the stares of the other students.
"Harry, are you okay?" Harry looked up to see Reena standing next to him. Rins was with him, as was a girl.
"I guess. Reena, this is Hermione," Harry introduced.
"What happened?" Reena asked causally.
"Do you know about Peter Pettigrew?" Harry asked in return.
"I know that he's still alive, but that's all," Reena answered.
"He's an anigmus. He can turn into a rat. I saw him scampering down a corridor this morning, in his rat form," Harry told her.
"Are you sure Harry? It could have been any rat," Reena told him.
"I had Peter as a pet for a long time. That was before I knew what he was," Ron told her, slightly embarrassed.
"He's not going to be able to come into the tower," Reena comforted him.
"She's right Harry. All 4 towers are protected with very powerful charms that repel people or things that would want to harm students," Hermione explained.
"But when he was Scabbers, he was able to come in," Rom reminded her.
"He wasn't trying to harm Harry then, was he?" Hermione rhetorically asked.
"Stay in the Gryffindor house when you're not in class. The whole castle doesn't have the protective charm," Reena informed Harry.
"What about Quidditch practices?" Harry asked instinctively.
"Don't go to the practices alone. Can you duel?" Reena asked. All 3 nodded. "If you run into real trouble, don't pay attention to the gentlemanly rules. The other thing is to learn some defensive charms. The 6th year book is full of them, can you borrow it from someone?"
A light seemed to go off in Hermione's head. She raced up the stairs and came back with a large book in hand.
"What about this one?" Hermione asked as she gave the book to Reena. Reena read the title (1001 Defensive Charms) and gave it back.
"This will do just fine. If you happen to see Peter again, try to catch him, but don't go down into any deserted areas of the school," Reena advised.
"What do we do if we catch him?" Ron asked.
"Bind him and send me an owl immediately," Reena instructed.
"Thanks for coming," Harry said gratefully.
"Don't worry about it," Reena said, "Dumbledore should be back in about 2 days."
Reena left, and Hermione opened the book. They were going to start defensive immediately to be prepared.
