Chapter 8: Attempted Murder
"Hey, my sweet, where are the little ones?" Harry asked as he stepped into the bed.
"The little ones had a big day. Luna took them down to the lake and they splashed around in the water. Virginia didn't seem to like to water too much, but I guess little Harry was splashing around and having a good time," Katie said with a smile.
"That is great. Little Harry say anything yet?" Harry asked sitting down on the bed. Katie sat behind him rubbing his shoulders, shaking her head.
"No not yet, you find him yet?" Katie asked as Harry shook his head.
"Nope not yet, but I have feeling tomorrow we will catch him. I will have to have a press conference tomorrow to announce the news," Harry said as Katie smiled.
"How are you otherwise?" she asked now massaging his arms and going back up to his shoulders.
"Alright I guess. Ricky and I got in a fight. I think I will be getting a new partner after this case," Harry said as Katie immediately stopped.
"Why? I thought you and Ricky were friends? I mean you guys work so well together," Katie said beginning up again.
"Well, he doesn't like my methods. He thinks that when someone finds out anything about a case you should give them a quick memory charm. I don't agree with that. Then things sort of got out of hand from there," Harry said Katie nodded.
"Well, I have news that might cheer you up," Katie said Harry turned around and looked at her with a long look.
"What?" he said with a smile.
"I am pregnant again," Katie said quickly as Harry let out a holler of excitement.
"This is great! After I get this case closed I will take some time off and then we will start planning and then I can spend more time with little Harry and Virginia," Harry said rambling as Katie let out a laugh.
"What?" Harry asked with a mock glare.
"I love you," she said laughing hugging him around his neck.
"I love you too Katie!" Harry said pulling her into a big hug.
"I have to go tell Remus. I need to start making everything baby proof again," Harry said standing up and running out the room.
"Harry, you don't need to get carried away!" Katie called following him out of the room.
.........
"Why don't you wipe that smile off your face? It has been bugging me since you got here," Ricky said irritated.
Harry just continued to smile. Harry couldn't think of anything that could take the smile off his face. Ricky rolled his eyes as he went over his last bit of paperwork. Harry had already finished with everything he had to do.
"Okay, what are you so happy about?" Ricky said putting his hands to his head and rubbing his temple.
"Katie is pregnant again," Harry said happily.
Ricky could see the happiness in Harry's eyes. Harry could see the hint of excitement in Ricky's eyes before it vanished. His eyes went back to coldness.
"Oh, don't let it affect you in the field," Ricky said as Harry just snorted.
"When has it ever?" Harry said as Ricky just shrugged and stood up.
"Let's go catch this guy. I want an early day," Ricky said as Harry only nodded and shrugged and followed him out of the department.
.........
"So we have to go talk to Robin Ambrose. He is some punk kid that graduated from Durmstrang. His Father is rich some rich investor. He almost got time in Azkaban for his involvement with this Vampire named Ajit, but his little Daddy made an investment to the Ministry and Fudge let him off. The Aurors on this case never found Ajit. He got away," Ricky said reading the report on the Vampire they were looking for.
"Which Auror was on the case?" Harry asked as Ricky scanned the paper.
"Well this was at the time when Voldemort was in full force. You were still in Azkaban. Mad-Eye Moody was on this case, but he didn't seem to put that much effort into this case," Ricky said reading through the papers.
"Well, I know where Mad-Eye's house is, we better go have a chat with him about it if he would know anything of his whereabouts," Harry said as Ricky nodded.
.........
They apparated to the Leaky Cauldron. They had to walk through Diagon Alley to Sutter Camp Village on the outside of Knockturn Alley. The village was much like Hogsmeade, but the people who resided in the little village of Sutter Camp weren't pleasant. The people of the village weren't dark wizards. They were more like very conservative wizards, who didn't take kindly to strangers. Harry had never been there. Mad-Eye had told him all about. Mad-Eye seemed to love the place because he was welcome there.
Harry and Ricky stepped into the Leaky Cauldron to a hushed silence. There were reporters everywhere. Harry wondered why they were here until they all started to crowd around him and Ricky. Harry just looked at Ricky who started fighting his way through the crowd.
"What are you guys doing in Diagon Alley?" one of the reporters asked as he pushed through the crowd.
"It is none of your business," Harry said almost getting away.
"Is it true you are working on the Cornelius Fudge case?" another reporter asked.
"Yes, it is. Now let us do our job," Ricky said irritated.
"No one was talking to you. The people deserve to know what happened to their Minister. We deserve to know," the same annoying Reporter yelled at them.
"Fine, there will be a press conference tonight. NOW LET US DO OUR JOB!" Harry yelled as the reporters finally backed off. "Tonight at 8, we will hold a press conference in front of the Ministry," Harry said walking out the back door with Ricky on his heels.
.........
They made it to the village without much more trouble. The only problem was getting through the gate. The gate was locked and there was no way of unlocking it because the gate had to spin open with a reel like a drawbridge. Harry was getting really frustrated.
"Call to them. OPEN THE GATE!" Ricky shouted loudly.
"NO one is outside. Yelling is not going to work. Sonorus!" Harry said amplifying his voice.
"Will someone please open the gate? We are Aurors from the ministry," Harry's amplified voice could be heard throughout the grounds.
One of the small houses doors opened and a skinny blonde haired girl walked out of the house. She smiled at Harry and Ricky as she approached the gate. She began reel it open. Harry and Ricky walked in through a small opening and she closed it back up.
"Thank you," Harry said quickly. "Would you point us to Alastor Moody's place?" Harry asked as the girl smiled.
"Yes, of course, but first I need to know why you want to talk to old Mad- Eye before I do that," she said slyly.
"It is a case for the Ministry. We need to ask Mad-Eye a few questions about an old case he had," Harry said as the girl only nodded.
"Alright, but you must make haste. I can't wait around all day to open the gate for you. The people around here don't like visitors so if Mad-Eye blasts you two to pieces it isn't my fault," the girl said walking back over to her house.
"Why do the people not like visitors?" Ricky asked as the shrugged not turning around.
"That doesn't matter. Mad-Eye's house is right next door," she said walking back into her house without another word.
Ricky looked at Harry who just shrugged. Harry walked towards the small house. There was a stone path that led to the brown front door. Harry walked through the white gate that was surrounding the house and made the house seem nicer than it was. The front yard wasn't that well kept, but Harry and Ricky still did their best to keep to the stone path. They both walked up the steps in front of the front door. Harry knocked on the door. It took several minutes before Harry and Ricky heard footsteps coming to the door. The door opened lightening fast.
"Petrificus Totalus," the Ex-Auror shouted as Harry spun out the way.
Ricky wasn't lucky enough to get out of the way. He buckled up and fell down the stairs with a loud thud. Laughter followed as Mad-Eye took did the counter curse. Alastor let out a growl like laugh as both Harry and Ricky joined in.
"How is it going? Come on in," Alastor said Harry walked in. Ricky still was dusting himself off. He walked in right after Harry and Alastor shut the door behind him.
"What is it you guys want?" Mad-Eye said, his magical eyes going crazy.
"We need to know some information on a vampire named Ajit?" Harry said as Mad-Eyes began to scowl.
"That stupid beast nearly got me killed. I would have captured him, but a battle broke out at Hogsmeade that day so I had to go there. You see, I was about to get him when two of his weaker vampire friends jumped me from behind. Then I destroyed them and the ring Albus gave me began to vibrate so I had to go. The vampire was gone before I could get him," Mad-Eye said with disgust.
"Do you know where we might be able to find him?" Harry asked as Mad-Eye smirked.
"Where would you find any other Vampire at this time? The Underground. You better be careful going in there though. That place is swarming with activity during the day," Alastor said with a lopsided grin.
"You want to come don't you?" Harry asked as Alastor nodded.
"Of course, now that I think of it, I really want to catch that little bastard," Alastor said as Harry nodded.
"Show us the way," Harry said looking at Rick who nodded. Alastor smiled.
'This is going to be along day,' Harry thought as Alastor prepared.
.........
"GO, GO, GO!" Harry screamed hitting the door with an explosion charm.
The door shattered into a million pieces. Dust and wood filled the night air as Harry jumped into the house. Harry looked around the small house scanning the corners. There was a couch in the center of the room, but there wasn't much of anything else. Alastor and Ricky stood behind Harry. They scanned the room.
"He is here. I can smell him," Alastor said as his magical eye went crazy.
"I know he is here, but where? Alastor look around," Harry said as Mad-Eye magical eye began to scan all corners, staircases and floors.
"He is hiding upstairs close to the wall near the window," Mad-Eye said as Harry nodded.
"You two go up the stairs. I'll surprise him," Harry said as they both nodded.
Harry went back out the door as Ricky and Alastor headed up the door. Harry conjured a stake with wandless magic. He began to concentrate hard and his body began to float. He was able to control himself until he got to the window. He looked into find the Vampire standing right next to the window. Harry walked as silently as he could to the other side of the window so he was out of view. With the flick of his wrist the window opened up. Harry could hear the Vampire growl as he poked his head out of the window.
"Sintrinitra," Harry said as the Vampire immediately buckled.
Harry stepped through the window and pulled the Vampire out with him. The Vampire showed his teeth at Harry who only glared at him.
"I got him," Harry shouted at the same time Alastor and Ricky rushed though the door.
They had their wands drawn at Harry who was holding the Vampire by the shirt. They immediately put down their wands. Alastor looked at Harry with shock, seeing Harry holding the Vampire by the shirt. Ricky was looking at Harry with surprise at seeing Harry in the room.
"Careful boys, Vampires have a tendency to bite," Alastor said as Harry threw the Vampire to the floor.
"He is bound," Ricky said, "but how did you get up here?" Ricky asked as Harry shrugged.
"It doesn't matter. Let's start interrogating him," Harry said as Ricky nodded. Alastor let a sinister grin spread across his face.
"Ajit, we are here to find out information. We know you killed Minister Fudge, but there is more. We know someone made you make the hit and we want to know why and who?" Harry said as the Vampire only licked his lip.
"Not talking are you? Well," Alastor said pulling out a stick of garlic, "maybe this will change your mind," Alastor said as the Vampire flinched.
"We got this covered Alastor. We certainly got this covered," Harry said pulling out a scrounge. "This is some new stuff I invented. It is called loose lips potion. It makes you oblivious to your surroundings, and makes your whole body numb. It is perfect for taking advantage of someone," Harry said as he grabbed the Vampires arm.
He shoved the needle into his arm and began to inject the potion into his arm. Ricky was discussing the spell that Harry had on the Vampire with Alastor. Alastor was looking with awe as Harry pulled out the needle and destroyed the needle with the wave of his hand.
"It would be great if we had some of this stuff when I was in the Department. It would have made a lot of things easier for us," Alastor said as Ricky nodded.
"The thing is we are the only Aurors who have it. Harry invented those spells on his own so we hadn't given them out," Ricky said as Alastor nodded.
"Many Aurors have done it for years. Making spells that were close to Unforgivables, but not," Alastor said as Ricky nodded.
"I see, this potion should set in about 2 minutes. It works very fast," Harry said with a grin.
They remained silent for the rest of the time as the potion took its effect. Vampire hadn't so much as moved sense Harry injected the potion. Harry watched the Vampire intently trying to read through its thoughts. Harry had difficulty because Vampires had a containment shield that allowed them to keep there thoughts at the back of their brain. He couldn't break the shield the vampire had.
"Let's begin," Harry said. "So did you kill Cornelius Fudge?" Harry asked as Alastor and Ricky crowded around with anticipation.
"Yes, yes I did," the vampire said slowly.
"Why did you kill Cornelius Fudge?" Harry asked as the Vampire's eyes bulged out.
"I was asked too," he said, his eyes showed intense anger.
"By who?" Harry asked as the Vampire eyes began to roll in the back of his head.
"Cian, the oldest Vampire of this time, came to me with a proposition. I took it," the vampire said as his eyes came back in to focus.
"Who hired him?" Harry asked.
"I don't know. He didn't go that far to tell me because of you," the Vampire said with pleading eyes.
"Okay, where is he?" Harry asked as the Vampire eyes rolled back again.
"He has a place on the outside of Little Hangleton. Lord Voldemort's old headquarters. He went over there when Voldemort fell at your hands," the Vampire said as Harry nodded.
"Thank you, you have been helpful," Harry said as he threw a stake at the Vampires heart and it let out a piercing scream before it blew into ashes.
"We better get out of here. Other Vampires would have heard that. Come back to my castle and we will discuss this," Harry said as Ricky and Alastor nodded and all three apparated.
.........
Katie Bell had just stepped out of the castle. The cold air breezed through her hair. She rubbed her the tiredness out of her eyes as she made her way to Hogsmeade. Victor Krum had asked if she wanted someone to walk with, but she was worried he would try to make another pass at her, which he did every time they were alone. Katie had never told Harry this, because she knew Harry would kill him. Maybe not literally, but she didn't know. She made her way through the gate into Hogsmeade.
She didn't realize how cold it was outside until she got another breeze from the wind. She shivered and pulled out her wand to put a heating charm on her robes. There was a loud shriek that startled Katie. She looked around, but couldn't see anything. She felt something hit her in the back and she fell to the ground. The entire weight of the person who jumped on her landed on top of her. She let a cry of pain. The person let out a laugh. Katie rushed to get to her feet. The person threw her to the ground.
"Stay down bitch," the person said with a laugh.
"Stay away from me. I will give you anything. I'll give you money. Just stay away. I am pregnant," she said holding her stomach.
"Aww, that is too bad. You won't be having the baby," the person said as Katie tried to crawl away.
"Please, leave me alone," she said as he kicked her hard in the stomach. He knocked the wind out of her and she rolled onto her back.
"The baby is probably gone now. Too bad," the person said as Katie let out an angry growl.
"YOU BASTARD!" she screamed diving for her wand. "STUPEFY!" She said as the spell just hit him. Nothing happened. He showed her his fangs.
"Spells like that don't affect me. I thought you would have learned something like that from your husband," the Vampire said as a scream came out of nowhere.
The Vampire just turned around and grabbed the oncoming man by the throat. He applied a little bit of pressure and let a little twist, snapping the mans neck. He let out a sick laugh.
"Now that was fun," he said turning around.
Katie was crawling away.
"Oh, no you don't," he said running to catch up to her, "I have a message for you," he said grabbing her by the hair. She began to squeal from the pain. He began to whisper in her ear and her eyes went wide.
"I'll tell your husband you said goodbye," he said throwing her face first into the ground.
He grabbed a huge rock that lay near and picked up. He came down with the rock with a loud thud. Her skull cracked under the pressure and force the rock was thrown at. The Vampire smiled at his work as he left a note on top of Katie. Katie Potter was dead...or was she?
.........
"Quiet everyone! Let me speak," Harry commanded as most of the reporters in the hall went quiet. "Now, as most of you know, myself and Ricky Sanders have been appointed the Cornelius Fudge case. Now I will answer any question you would like," Harry said as all the reporters' hands immediately flew up.
"Who killed the Minister?" one reporter screamed out.
"The Minister was assassinated. We have found the person that made the hit. We were forced to kill him in battle. The person was a Vampire. He was ordered by another Vampire to make the hit who was paid by a Ministry official yet to be named," Harry said as murmuring broke out through out the hall.
"After all this time how did you and your partner find all this out?" another reporter asked through the murmuring.
"My partner and I are very persuasive," Harry said as murmuring began back up. The doors banged open making Harry look towards the door. Remus ran in at full speed.
"Harry, Katie's been attacked," he yelled out of breath.
Harry's eyes went wide as Remus panted. Harry immediately ran towards the exit, forgetting all about the press conference. Remus ran after him.
"She is at St. Mungo's," he shouted, but Harry already knew. He apparated with a loud crackle.
.........
Okay here is another chapter... I hope you enjoyed it... I am making it up to you if Katie lives or dies... I have two ways I can write the rest of the story and it could involve her or not involve her... it is up in the air right now... Please review and tell me what you want... Thanks to my beta- reader... and for all of you who read my other story... I am sorry there hasn't been a chapter out on it... I have had writers block with that story and the ideas for this story just keep coming... a chapter will be up soon for that story though... for sure...

Chapter 8: Attempted Murder
"Hey, my sweet, where are the little ones?" Harry asked as he stepped into the bed.
"The little ones had a big day. Luna took them down to the lake and they splashed around in the water. Virginia didn't seem to like to water too much, but I guess little Harry was splashing around and having a good time," Katie said with a smile.
"That is great. Little Harry say anything yet?" Harry asked sitting down on the bed. Katie sat behind him rubbing his shoulders, shaking her head.

The Aurors on this case never found Ajit. He got away," Ricky said reading the report on the Vampire they were looking for.
"Which Auror was on the case?" Harry asked as Ricky scanned the paper.

"Why did you kill Cornelius Fudge?" Harry asked as the Vampire's eyes bulged out.
"I was asked too," he said, his eyes showed intense anger.
"By who?" Harry asked as the Vampire eyes began to roll in the back of his head.
"Cian, the oldest Vampire of this time, came to me with a proposition. I took it," the vampire said as his eyes came back in to focus.
"Who hired him?" Harry asked.
"I don't know. He didn't go that far to tell me because of you," the Vampire said with pleading eyes.
"Okay, where is he?" Harry asked as the Vampire eyes rolled back again.
"He has a place on the outside of Little Hangleton. Lord Voldemort's old headquarters. He went over there when Voldemort fell at your hands," the Vampire said as Harry nodded.
"Thank you, you have been helpful," Harry said as he threw a stake at the Vampires heart and it let out a piercing scream before it blew into ashes.
"We better get out of here. Other Vampires would have heard that. Come back to my castle and we will discuss this," Harry said as Ricky and Alastor nodded and all three apparated.
.........
Katie Bell had just stepped out of the castle. The cold air breezed through her hair. She rubbed her the tiredness out of her eyes as she made her way to Hogsmeade. Victor Krum had asked if she wanted someone to walk with, but she was worried he would try to make another pass at her, which he did every time they were alone. Katie had never told Harry this, because she knew Harry would kill him. Maybe not literally, but she didn't know. She made her way through the gate into Hogsmeade.
She didn't realize how cold it was outside until she got another breeze from the wind. She shivered and pulled out her wand to put a heating charm on her robes. There was a loud shriek that startled Katie. She looked around, but couldn't see anything. She felt something hit her in the back and she fell to the ground. The entire weight of the person who jumped on her landed on top of her. She let a cry of pain. The person let out a laugh. Katie rushed to get to her feet. The person threw her to the ground.
"Stay down bitch," the person said with a laugh.
"Stay away from me. I will give you anything. I'll give you money. Just stay away. I am pregnant," she said holding her stomach.
"Aww, that is too bad. You won't be having the baby," the person said as Katie tried to crawl away.
"Please, leave me alone," she said as he kicked her hard in the stomach. He knocked the wind out of her and she rolled onto her back.
"The baby is probably gone now. Too bad," the person said as Katie let out an angry growl.
"YOU BASTARD!" she screamed diving for her wand. "STUPEFY!" She said as the spell just hit him. Nothing happened. He showed her his fangs.
"Spells like that don't affect me. I thought you would have learned something like that from your husband," the Vampire said as a scream came out of nowhere.
The Vampire just turned around and grabbed the oncoming man by the throat. He applied a little bit of pressure and let a little twist, snapping the mans neck. He let out a sick laugh.
"Now that was fun," he said turning around.
Katie was crawling away.
"Oh, no you don't," he said running to catch up to her, "I have a message for you," he said grabbing her by the hair. She began to squeal from the pain. He began to whisper in her ear and her eyes went wide.
"I'll tell your husband you said goodbye," he said throwing her face first into the ground.
He grabbed a huge rock that lay near and picked up. He came down with the rock with a loud thud. Her skull cracked under the pressure and force the rock was thrown at. The Vampire smiled at his work as he left a note on top of Katie. Katie Potter was dead...or was she?
.........
"Quiet everyone! Let me speak," Harry commanded as most of the reporters in the hall went quiet. "Now, as most of you know, myself and Ricky Sanders have been appointed the Cornelius Fudge case. Now I will answer any question you would like," Harry said as all the reporters' hands immediately flew up.
"Who killed the Minister?" one reporter screamed out.
"The Minister was assassinated. We have found the person that made the hit. We were forced to kill him in battle. The person was a Vampire. He was ordered by another Vampire to make the hit who was paid by a Ministry official yet to be named," Harry said as murmuring broke out through out the hall.
"After all this time how did you and your partner find all this out?" another reporter asked through the murmuring.
"My partner and I are very persuasive," Harry said as murmuring began back up. The doors banged open making Harry look towards the door. Remus ran in at full speed.
"Harry, Katie's been attacked," he yelled out of breath.
Harry's eyes went wide as Remus panted. Harry immediately ran towards the exit, forgetting all about the press conference. Remus ran after him.
"She is at St. Mungo's," he shouted, but Harry already knew. He apparated with a loud crackle.
