Princess of Death
Chapter 18
The Massacre of Hogwarts
December 24th 1995
Hogwarts grounds
It was a horrifying sight, thousands of witches and wizards and all manner of creatures both dark and light fighting across the grounds, it was a bloodbath as both factions tried to get to the main bridge which led to the Great-hall. Toms forces got there first by sending his snatchers to charge right at the order.
Dumbledore, Remus and Sirius managed to fly into the courtyard just before tome entered with his forces all stopped at an odd sight, the knights of Hogwarts or at least some of them stood before the entrance in battle position spears ready.
Voldemort having enough launched a reducto at the group destroying 4 of the knights before ordering his Death eaters to deal with them while he found Haralda, Albus noticed this turning to Remus and Sirius telling them to help the order.
As he made his way inside and into the great hall to see a shocking sight, Lord Voldemort on his knees panting for breath before Haralda who was enjoying a cup of tea, he went to speak only to see Haralda raise her hand. "not a word Albus I am enjoying a nice cup of tea, and before you ask, I don't care who is dying outside."
Albus stood in shock as realisation finally hit him, Haralda was Dark she had somehow broken toms will he was her loyal servant. "you are dark Haralda, and you must be defeated." Shooting a stunner hoping to knock her out so she could face trial instead it hit her teacup shattering it.
Seeing this Tom shivered in fear, there was a reason he was on his knees and it wasn't in subservience's it was in pure fear at the Princess of Death, she stood from her throne her White-eyes brimming with anger. "oh no the fuck you didn't." with that both Albus and Voldemort went flying across the hall and out into the courtyard to the shock of the Death Eaters.
Their attention, however, was brought back to the doors as they closed behind Lady Haralda who stood there in full battle armour her Battle-staff in hand, Bellatrix and a few other devote Death Eaters tried to kill her only to fall in pain as the Dark marks on their arms burned in pain.
You see the rune on Voldemort's chest didn't just control him it controlled anyone who had sworn themselves to his service, Haralda watched as her Knights forced the Order and the Remaining Dark forces into the courtyard.
"Well, hello all welcome to Hogwarts. Now Kneel." Slamming her battle-staff onto the ground causing the ground, causing the sky's above to shake roar with the sound of thunder causing both the Order members and Death eaters to fall to their knees in pain.
Looking at them all Haralda gave them an evil grin as she stabbed Voldemort in the chest, repeating the same process she did with Wormtail months ago, no one could move as they watched as the ice slowly covered the Dark Lord.
"you Mortals play your little games hear on Midgard believing you are masters of the art, well tom we Gods play ours and you mortals are the pawns we throw away so easily, I am Princess Haralda Helasdottir, Crown Princess of Helheim and Princess of Asgard." She allowed the horror to set in even on toms face as he now realised what that meant for him that his soul anchors were useless, Dumbledore paled at the knowledge that he was never even considered a player by Haralda just a pawn to be used and easily sacrificed.
"Be thankful Mortals, you will serve as amusement for me in your final hours as the world will know that Albus Dumbledore gathered his supporters and those that supported the 14 year dead Dark Lord in attacking Hogwarts to use as a citadel to conquer the magical world."
Looking at the near-frozen Voldemort Haralda smiled at him. "Enjoy Helheim, my mother and father are most eager to meet you don't worry you will soon be joined by thousand's more." With that, she sliced her battle-staff into the frozen man shattering him to a million small pieces that vanished.
Across magical Britain, the artefacts that hadn't been found had burst into flames ending any chance and any proof that he had been resurrected leaving only the ramblings of the man that now was kneeled before the Princess of Death.
Turning her attention back to the shocked group before her she smiled at them before pulling out a very familiar bit of parchment that made many people there pale in horror as she began to speak. "I Lady Haralda Helasdottir do find the terms of the oath of neutrality to be violated, I call upon the family magics and the magics of this contract to claim what is owed to my house so mote it be."
Down in the dungeons of Hogwarts, the staff students and the villagers of Hogsmeade heard ungodly screams from the outside, as many on both sides lost their Magic completely making them squibs while within Gringotts the Goblins smiled as they transferred 95 per cent of the oathbreakers and vaults into the Potter-Black vaults. Leaving just enough for there heirs who were hidden in the school or staying at home with there mothers (Draco Malfoy) with there magic and money to restart their families.
The tired and exhausted attackers tried to stand up and to there shock, they could only too see Haralda smile as she pointed towards the other side of the bridge, to their shock there was a large contingent of Goblin warriors next to a Basilisk.
"I would recommend you start running that way across the bridge, why it's quite simple these lads." She clapped her hands, and to the shock of the attackers saw the doors to the castle open allowing a large horde of undead warriors of Helheim to pour out, flanking the Princess of Death.
"These boys will kill you regardless, so run mortals run." Albus ironically was the first to run quickly followed by death eaters and Order as the Undead warriors charged following their commands to kill everyone except for a select few.
Charging forward with her forces, Haralda's Battle-staff found its mark in Dumbledores lower back causing him to fall only to be held up to watch as his followers and those he wanted to redeem were butchered in the courtyard on the bridge or in the main grounds of the castle.
Haralda bent down to whisper in his ear. "Worry not Albus, you will be remembered forever as the disgraced wizard who attempted to launch a new Blood war and failed like the last Dark Lord, but personally this is for interrupting my tea break."
Dumbledore didn't die then and there oh no Haralda had him used for the Blood Eagle on the grounds surrounded by the bodies of Order and Death eaters his great rebellion ended, Bellatrix was captured alive and given a very brutal sentence she was impaled alive as her body slowly slid down the pole.
Mr Arthur Weasley and his eldest son had survived the battle Arthur was reduced to a squib his son kept his magic but was now faced with the gruelling task of rebuilding his now completely bankrupt family.
Sirius and Remus were captured alive and to both their shock Haralda let them leave Sirius was banished from the family and the 8 million he had been given was heavily depleted due to funding the Order.
When the Ministry Arrived 2 hours after the battle, they were greeted by the sight that forever drove fear into the hearts of the magical world, Haralda standing with the Hogwarts Knights covered in the blood of the dead around them.
The goblins had left knowing that them killing so many witches and wizards on mass would start a global wizard war knowing it would be sadly bad for business, as for the Basilisk she had also returned to the chamber.
The official death toll was 4230 witches and wizards, 8 giants and 20 trolls, and in both Ministry and ICW records it would be called the disaster at Hogwarts, but everyone would come to know it as the massacre of Hogwarts.
S.H.I.E.L.D Headquarters
USA 2 days after the battle.
"Sir we have received shocking news from our agents in the Magical World, the Death Eaters and the Order have been wiped out." Came the voice of the panting shield agent shocking Director Nick fury, the rise of the Death Eaters had been greatly delayed thanks to the efforts of House Potter-Black as they were known now.
"And pray tell how and how many were killed." The answer he got both impressed and worried him, not that he would ever admit that bit though. "Sir, the Death toll was over 4 thousand and it is being called the Massacre of Hogwarts, they say the Duchess of Inverness killed them all with the help of her army.
Now that was amazing the young Noble only 15 herself slaughtered thousands, they would have to speak with her but first look up what information they had on her. "get me the records we have on the Duchess of Inverness."
Fury expected the file on the screen what he didn't expect was the screen to flash red with a note to speak with former Director Carter for any information on Lady Haralda, looks like he was going to have to bring Carter in.
December 28th 1995
Seeing Peggy Carter again made Nick smile (On the Inside) even at her advanced age she was still as British as she had been when she was still Director (British meaning as stubborn and difficult as possible while still acting as proper lady or gentlemen)
"Carter, welcome back I do apologies for calling you in but you are the only one with access to this file." He pointed at the screen showing the restricted notice to his slight shock she let out a gasp before pulling a folder out of her bag sliding it over to him, what he read confused him.
The File told him nothing besides the basic when she was born and her parent's name, looking at Peggy he asked her why was the file so bare, her response was shocking apparently the Queen restricted all communication to the Duchess from any agency to go through her.
What was the Queen hiding, how had Haralda been able to massacre over 4000 people, he would have to get a shield agent in the Magical world within her employ as it would become obvious over the next few weeks after the battle, that the Duchess was consolidating the massive power vacuum that had been left after the battle.
Asgard
Feasting Hall
1st January 1996
The people of Asgard cheered and celebrated Haralda's victory over Midgard Odin had been worried his Granddaughter was going down the same path Hela had, changed his mind when he looked at the plans she had put in place for magical Britain.
Well, that and Frigga lecturing him on trusting his Granddaughters judgment, after all, she could have gone on a crusade killing every magical in Britain but she didn't she had restraint.
Hela of course could not be prouder of her Daughter, watching from Helheim, she watched as one by one the butchered witches and wizards appeared in her realm, she already had some evil plans for Severus the most popular being having him nailed to the wall of her bedroom so he could watch as every night she lay with her husband.
Loki, asked Haralda the big question what she planned to do know that the magical World had been dealt with, smiling at her Uncle she told him she would travel between Midgard Asgard and Helheim and while on Midgard she would expand Peverell Industries.
And that is what she did over the following years, her company would dominate the markets in Europe and North Africa, even starting negations with the Kingdom of Wakanda it would deeply Annoy Stark Industry's in which she had sold her shares as her own company's shares now rivalled that of stark in worth.
