Chapter 29: Conflict.
It took a couple of days for the remaining Department heads to meet as all of them even Amelia had to go under questioning to make sure they had gotten all of Fudge's supporter's and also Voldemort supporter's, they also took the time to question the deputy heads as a result of this lot of questioning nearly half of said deputy heads being arrest for being Voldemort supporters.
Of the dozen departments within the British Ministry of Magic only seven came to the meeting to deduce what to do now that Fudge was no longer in power, Amelia being one of the last to enter the room with Harry and Tonks flanking her as Auror escort a number of other Auror's around the room also standing calmly many of them showing signs of the battle not three days before hand.
Amelia looked over her fellow department heads before taking a seat near the head of the table the seat next to her at the head of said table remaining empty as it was used by the Minister only, Harry moved to stand against the wall leaning back and to one side to take weight off his injured leg his arm in a sling to allow the potions he had taken to work on his injures, Tonks taking up a spot right behind Amelia in her arms being a number of folders that held helpful information on what was going to be talked about this meeting.
Looking over the six other department heads Amelia gave a nod to Arthur Weasley and Madam Edgecombe who had been proven that she had gone along with Fudge and Umbridge because the Toad of a woman had the head of the floo and transportation on watch and was even blackmailing and threatening her daughter and husband with arrest and Azkaban.
The surprising person seating at the table for Amelia was the Matron of the Greengrass family who had to be pushing a hundred and sixty years in age but didn't look any older then seventy although her silver handled walking cane and long silvery white hair did show she was very old even by Wizarding standards.
"Madam Greengrass I didn't know you headed a department." Amelia commented softly sitting down calmly and taking the top most file from Tonks' arms just looking at the oldest person in the room with a friendly smile.
"I'm not surprised you didn't know as this is the first Department Head meeting I have received a time for in over thirty years ever sense those damn Pureblood supremacists rose up and started taking control… they didn't approve of my department and have been trying to get it shut down ever sense." The aged woman says her voice sounding like a soft breeze though the trees.
A title of the head being all Madam Greengrass needed from Amelia to know she wanted to know what her department did, "My Department's job if we had the people to really do is to locate any accidental magic use, if it turns out to be a Muggle-born we approach and make ourselves accessible to the parents, letting them know of our world so that they can start to learn about our world and how to fit in a little better."
"I can see why those Death Eaters and there supports wouldn't like your department please know that we'll see what can be done to restore it back to full force the same for all other departments neglected after the Pureblood supremacists took over." Amelia says clearly all of the people before her giving a nod of thanks and even a small smile at the thought that they could do their jobs now and not fear being fired or thrown into Azkaban for said job.
It took a few minutes but soon everyone was seated and looking to Amelia to give the report on how the Ministry was shaping up after the shake down and take over, Amelia admitting that her own forces had suffered a number of injures and even a few deaths at the hands of Death Eaters who refused to surrender even when their head within the Ministry Mafloy and his puppet Fudge had been arrested.
Arthur was the first to speak up after the first run through on what had happened since the Auror's had taken over the Ministry, "So what is going to be the first thing we cover? The fact that we are now wide open to attack by a resurrected Dark Lord as nearly all Auror's are injured or we just don't have the numbers to patrol all of the needed areas, or should we sort out who is going to be the new Minister in these dark times to come."
"I say we get a new Minister in if we decide to go down that path or we could just get the remaining needed Department Heads placements filled and then run this Ministry as a council rather than the whims of a single man, but that is just one option we could take." Madam Greengrass comments calmly looking at the others around the table to see what they thought they should do next.
"Maybe we should sort out what to do with the two dozen Mercenaries first as they have been locked within this building for three days now and I'm sure they would like to be able to go home some time soon." Edgecombe says softly looking over some of the information they had on the Mercs.
"No good doing that as the contract states that they will only take orders from the Minister of British Magic and those he or she names, at the moment all three named people are cooling some of my cells meaning they aren't going to listen to a thing any of us says and carry out their last orders more than likely as such we need to get another Minister in to office before we talk about the Mercs." Amelia says calmly looking over the contract again before sliding it across the table for Matron Greengrass to look over.
"Indeed and even if we do let them go they won't return any outstanding money for breaking the contract seven months early so the question should be if we are willing to let go a few thousand Galleons or are we going to keep them on until the contract is up and then let them go." Matron Greengrass states one long bony finger tapping on the parchment the contract was on while thinking on the matter herself.
"All of this means nothing until we choose who is going to be the next Minister." Arthurstates to the group looking over everyone for a moment before saying looking at Amelia, "I say we put forward names for possible Ministers and then vote on it."
There was a few moments pause as the other department heads gave a nod of the head as Arthur gave a nod himself and says locking eyes with Amelia now. "I put forward Amelia Bones as a possible Minister."
Everyone seemed to give a nod of agreement to this until Amelia shock her head and raised her wand, "I Amelia Bones Matron of the Bones family hereby decline any and all nominations for the Ministership for this election and until such time as the government is stable one again from the under handed dealings of the previous Minister of Magic."
"Why would you do something like that? You would be the best person to lead us in these troubled times?" One of the department heads cried out looking at Amelia as her magic sealed her oath with just a low glow from her wand
"I won't take the Ministership right after my own people lead a coup as that would be a signal to the people that I did it to grain control and enforce my own law on them, this way they will know that I didn't do what I did for my own gain but to help them in the long run, if after this war and I am still alive the new Minister wants to step down then I may put my name forward for the rebuild but until that day I can do more good building up the Auror force and plan how to stop the Dark Lord once and for all." Amelia states back leaning back in her seat watching as the other department heads started to argue amongst themselves over who should become Minister.
The fighting didn't even stop when a gray clocked figure of the head of the Unspeakable entered the room with the bright robes of Albus only a few steps behind the unknown man. Amelia looked at the two new comers with a small smile as both took a seat the gray clocked figure pausing for a moment at Harry looking at the young Auror's shadow before sitting down, Albus just gave his cheerful smile to the group before sitting down.
"Nice of you to join use Grand Master Balances I take it the cleaning of your department is finished and you are now able to give a report on how bad it was." Amelia states calmly to the Head of the Department of Mysteries who like all privets heads went by the name Grand Master Balances as like the beings who live in the Shadow Plane the Unspeakable also lived in the gray between the light and the dark.
"Four of our number has betrayed their oaths and have been dealt with as fitting the crime of doing so, there personal effects that aren't termed classified by my department will be brought to their families in the coming days." The masked voice states spells and such masking whether the person was male or female, but everyone seemed to decide to think of the unknown Head as male for some unknown reason.
"Understood, and Albus nice of you to join us as well as maybe now this lot can sort out a new Minister without fighting between each other as I have already given an oath that I won't be taking up the Minister's mantel until after the Dark lord is defeated for good." Amelia says calmly looking over her shoulder at Harry who just gave a nod to show he knew that she wanted an update on the hunt as he hadn't told her yet about the locket.
"I would have thought you would have put your name forward my dear but if you're sure that is what you want then I won't try and make you change your mind," Albus comments calmly listening to the new fight going on between the department heads save Balances who just leaned back in his seat.
Harry just looked on at the fighting for a few minutes before giving a sigh and looked down at his own shadow saying calmly to it knowing that everyone could hear him if they choose to listen, "You know it's times like these I like Shadow Plane politics nothing messy just the odd battle between the Five Dragons of Shadow over who should be allowed to do what in what areas of the Plane."
"That may be so pup but this isn't the Shadow Plane and there is a lot more than just five powers in play." Balance says looking over at Harry before turning back to the talks going on calling out for silence after a few more moments of listening to the talking department heads.
Harry just growled at the man as no one save Moody got away with calling him pup he was an Alpha for god's sake leader of his own little pack and no one was going to get away with calling him pup, Amelia hearing the growl gave a slight cough, Harry backing down but his eyes promised that Balance was going to be in trouble later if he had his way.
The talks carried on for another hour before Madam Greengrass put her own name forward on the condition that the moment the new year rolled around she would step down and they had rebuild the departments back to the way they had been before the Purebloods took control.
Albus seemed to like the plan and even put forward his vote to support the aged Madam Greengrass who gave a nod of thanks for his support as they had gone to school together even if she was a few years ahead of him within Hogwarts the pair had been good friends back then and still were to a degree now.
The meeting carried on much like that for the rest of the morning Albus being one of the first to get to his feet and moved to Harry's side fallowing along with the young man while saying softly "I have located another of Voldemort's Horcruxes and was wondering if you and your wife wanted to join me in recovering it."
"I'll go see if we can get a few hours free, which one is it?" Harry asks moving towards his and Tonks' shared office being married within the core after all had its advantages, one of them being able to partner with your wife or husband for all missions or cases as well as a few extra holidays off if your played your cards right.
"I believe the clue was something like this, 'a ring of Slytherin is known to rest in the den whence this saga began, there where the blood of the evil Fool rests' I think he was talking about the Gaunt house that is near Voldemort's fathers village, I have checked the general area and the location of the cottage is very heavily guarded with wards and more than likely traps, as such I thought it best to find you and get your help as you do have to deliver it to Szotfrin."
"I'll let Madam Bones know and see if Tonks can join us as you can never be too careful with the wards you are describing a little extra back up should be helpful." Harry comments moving to tap Amelia on the shoulder have a quick few words with her before getting a nod and a Tonks wave to follow Harry and Albus.
The three of them quickly moved through the Ministry building passing the hall that the Mercs had converted into their medical ward the leader Nedylene standing off to one side with her second a cane within easy reach as she turned to look at the group rushing past, a small smile formed on her face as she gave a nod to the group.
Harry returned the nod with his own little smile as he had to admit that once Nedylene had woken up and confirmed that her employer was locked up she was a very friendly woman who really enjoyed her work even if she didn't like some of the people they worked for.
One of the things the two had spoken to each other about in the debrief was how Nedylene made her sword, the witch just smiling and saying that she had managed to get some of the purplish crystals that could be found within the Shadow Plane from time to time, after a lot of research and work had worked out with some help from a family friend to melt them down and mix them with Adamantine creating the blade she called Shadows Bane.
The group of five as Zarra and Rose both came out of Harry's shadow to join the group for this hunt of one of Voldemort's Horcruxes or at the very least in Rose's case watch the group get by whatever was protecting the ring as she was ordered to do by Szotfrin once he saw that Albus had worked out his little riddle.
/ I'll only get in involved when you have the ring in your hands otherwise I'm just here to watch. / Rose states to the group Albus and the others only just getting a nod in before she sank into Harry's shadow.
The group paused for a moment on reaching the Apparition point, Albus telling them where they were going to appear while Harry undid his sling and tested his arm giving a nod at the slight stiffness of its movements but nothing major by his standards, Tonks checked his arm herself giving him a look that clearly said he was going to be taking it easy on this mission or else.
With a simple nod of the head to each other the group vanished with only the slight of pops sounding, reappearing on a quiet country road with waste high stone walls on either side of the single lane road.
Both Auror's took a few moments to look around the area they had arrived in Albus just giving a nod of the head to show that this was the right location, Harry pausing in his looking when he saw a graveyard not too far away an old manor house right next to it.
"This is the place Voldemort gained a body again… he must of sent some of his servants to the graveyard to fix it up just to hide his resurrection that little bit longer." Harry commented calmly only taking a moment longer to look at the graveyard turning to face Albus and giving a wave as if to say let's get moving.
Albus gave a nod at Harry's look before starting down the road away from the ruined manor house and towards a lightly wooded area that was just off to one side of the road an old gate coming into view in the stone wall right alongside the woods, a old disused riding trail only just visible on the other side of the gate.
The group walked for a few minutes along the small trail not really seeing anything out of the ordinary but they all felt that something was waiting and watching them the further they moved into the lightly wooded area.
The group came to a stop when Albus raised his wand and started to wave it back and fourth muttering detection spells while narrowing his eyes a little at the results he was getting, "I don't know what he has caged here but I do know that this ward wont allow anything to leave once across the line but it well allow things to pass through to the other side just not back out, the ward stones appears to be within the building going by these readings."
"Then I guess we have to get going and hope for the best." Harry says softly Tonks giving a nod as she got her wand ready and also pulled her K-bar knife for in her other hand Harry doing much the same with his gun and wand testing his arm a little before giving a nod, Albus just holding his wand a little tighter before following the two through the ward Rose and Zarra staying behind just watching them walk into the unknown.
The inside of the wards showed a rather dead looking forest trees having either been burned or almost drained of life all around the group, the ground itself almost looked dead as well as the trees, Harry raising his head a little to sniff the air his head quickly coming down as he gave a slight cough his eyes starting to sweep the area even more now.
"Not good I smell brimstone Lower Plane beasts on the air... Hell layer I would have to say, not strong enough or quite right for the Abyss layer of the Lower Planes." He says softly holstering his gun as the bullets wouldn't do anything except piss off what ever devil Voldemort had summoned to protect this site.
"I thought I knew that smell, but what makes you say its from he Hell layer Harry my boy?" Albus asks as they slowly moved forward the slightest sound making the group come on guard and face the location of the sound for a few moments before carrying on.
"His nose is very good Albus, plus doesn't that smell in the air just reek of the old testament of what Hell is suppose to be like." Tonks softly almost afraid to talk any louder for fear that what ever was within this area would hear her and come hunting.
Albus could only nod at Tonks words as the group carried on coming to a stop in a well lighted clearing with a small shack like cottage on the other side, Harry looking around for a moment before diving forward as the back of his shirt was ripped like some large cat had taken a swipe at his back and he had only just dodged in time to avoid taking a serious injury.
Tonks quickly danced forward as she felt something start to approach her, her outer robe being snapped off thanks to a few well placed buttons and such that would allow her to remove the robe with little effort the sight of the robe being shredded while floating in the light breeze for a moment being all she needed to see to know that they had some kind of invisible enemy on there hands.
Albus seeing the two Auror's dive or dodge forward quickly raised his wand and made a shield appear around his body something came slamming into it a moment later bouncing off it and landing in a shadowy hollow of a tree on the edge of the clearing showing the misty outline of a large cat.
The three of them looked at the outline for a few moments getting the feeling that the cat was around seven foot long with whitish eyes that seemed to glow with feral cunning and ravenous Hunger all at the some time, the set of eyes vanishing a moment later as the large cat ran into the light again.
"Oh my Hellcats, haven't seen one of those in years, try to get them into natural darkness Harry, Tonks as they are invisible in light and magical darkness doesn't seem to work as well." Albus comments waving his wand as thin layer of mist covered the ground showing the paws and lower legs of the Hellcats as they now knew they had at lest two of the Devils circling them at the moment.
"Oh nice, any chance some catnip might calm them down and get them to leave us alone?" Tonks asks firing some stunning spells into the location of one of the cats using the moving mist of it walking through it as a guide for where to aim.
"Not even funny at the moment dear." Harry says slashing his wand to try and cut one of the Cats down only to have to pull Tonks and himself to one side as said cat jumped at him, nicking him on his injured arm as he flew past, Tonks firing off a few spells to try and drive off the cat and give them time to get back to there feet.
Albus did give a small chuckle at Tonks comment as a length of chain shoot out of his wand and slammed into one of the Hellcats wrapping around its middle area a few times before suddenly giving off a huge electrical charge the scream of pain that sounded a lot like a normal Lions or other large cats cry of pain sounding out a moment later.
The creature seemed to look at Albus for a few movements before shaking off the chains and vanished into the tree-line to avoid the mist for a few moments to rethink its attack plan on the aged Headmaster.
The pair of Aurors at the moment kept on moving from side to side circling around each other to keep the Hellcat that was attacking them in sight, when the mist suddenly swelled a little Tonks only had time to point her wand at the area, she screamed out in pain when a set of large teeth clamped down on her wand hand the sound of crushing bones sounding a moment later as she brought her other hand around with the knife still in it eyes going wide when the blade didn't seem to even cut the short fur of the large cat.
"Damn it all let go you overgrown house cat, let go of my hand NOW!" Tonks snarled brought her knife down again and again on the neck of the beast firing the odd spell from her wand that was still trapped inside the beasts mouth as she could see a little blood start to leak around the teeth that had help crush her hand.
Harry looked up from were he had fallen when Tonks had moved suddenly knocking him off to one side the sight of his wife locked in close quarters with the larger predator causing him to growl low as he rushed forward not paying anything else any mind as he brought his wand up and fired into the cats exposed side.
The sound of pain from the Hellcat a moment later as Harry hit it with a slicing curse in the side the cat letting go of Tonks hand for a moment to turn its head to glare at Harry only to have a wand pocked into its eye as Tonks gave a loud snarl of her own.
"Die you son of a bitch!" Tonks yelled out as she fired a blasting curse right into the eye the Hellcat flying backwards as a large chunk of its skull vanished into a fine blackish mist of blood Tonks being a little surprised that so much of the skull was still intact from the point blank blast, the Cat taking a few steps forward before coming to a stop.
Both Auror's watching it for a moment longer before turning to see how Albus was doing after seeing the Cat stager forward another few steps and then fall on its side red energy rising up from it as its whole body vanished a few moments later going back to Hell for the one hundred years banishment.
Albus meanwhile had been playing a game of tag with his Hellcat as the thing kept on climbing trees and then trying to jump on him while also keeping to the light, this strategy was forcing the aged Headmaster to keep on moving away from the trees at the edge of the clearing yet also keep them within spell range as even with his wand being so special it only had a good range of about twenty feet.
The cat came in for another charge a few moments after Tonks blew the head off its partner Albus flicked his wand at the last second causing the ground under the large cat to rise up and impaling the Devil but the spike didn't stop growing until it slammed into the ward high above the clearing, the black blood of the devil started to slowly creep down the spike before the red energy started to rise the whole body vanishing a moment later leaving only the blood stain and the light glow from the ward at the spike tip hitting it.
"Well that was a good little work out, are you two ok? Nothing broken or removed?" Albus asks looking over at the two Auror's seeing Harry kneeling beside Tonks her mangled hand within his as he carefully wrapped the hand with a field bandage, the young woman just giving a slightly painful smile and wince to her husband as he pulled the bandage tight.
"Nothing that a good healer wont be able to fix, lets just hope that there isn't anything else large and hungry in the area as I don't think either of use can take it what with my arm and leg and now Tonks with her hand." Harry says calmly moving to stand next to Albus once he was done with Tonks' hand the young woman also moving to join them her wand being shifted into her off hand now.
Albus only nodded at Harry's words before moving toward the shack Tonks just giving Harry a look herself before moving to follow the Headmaster the group coming to a stop at the door that had a snake nailed to it long dead and only leaving a skin and few bones left, the walls of the shack looked like a good sneeze would blow them down but otherwise the rest of the building looked about as good which wasn't any surprise given how long it had gone without maintenance.
Both Harry and Albus looked over the wards that were on the shack to protect it from the Hellcats as the part of Voldemort's soul within would have been considered a feast by the creatures from Hell and may have even been able to pull the rest of his soul to this location to feast on that as well, because of this the shack had a lot of protections over the whole thing.
"Hmm nicely layered and like the barrier ward the key stone for it all is inside the shack, any chance of use just blasting the wall out on this place and then just looking through the remains for the damn ring?" Harry comments looking at Albus with a slightly hopeful look on the possibility of destroying something.
"No you may not blow this place up, what is it with you lately and blowing stuff up?" Tonks asks just looking at Harry who seemed to think on the matter for a few moments.
"Maybe because I had to take apart that engine in the car Sirius and I am working on and I want to let off some steam before I put it back together and as you wont let me touch you sexually at this time of the month every month I have to do something else."
Tonks just blinked before bringing her good hand around and slapped Harry over the back of the head, "Don't tell people about that sort of thing again, and you Headmaster forget what you just heard or I'll pull out your beard."
"I seem to have gone deaf for a moment there Ms Potter," Albus says with a smile using Tonks' married name just to help get the message across he hoped, "Anyway Harry I don't think this wall will come down despite how the building looks... let me try a few things and see if I can bring down some of them enough to get in to the keystone."
The two Auror's stepped back and just watched as Albus waved his wand over the shack a slight glow coming over the whole building for a moment before he seemed to narrow his eyes a little, "I can't seem to bring down the ward on the door so we can get in... can you lend me some strength and your own skill to bring them down Harry?"
Tonks watched the pair as they worked on the wards her eyes sweeping the clearing catching sight of Rose sitting on the edge of it with Zarra sitting on the Shadow Wolfs head. Seeing the pair sitting so calmly Tonks just knew that they were safe for now.
"Got you!" Harry called out in joy as the door to the shack seemed to crumble to dust leaving the path open for them to enter the hiding place of the ring, Albus going to step forward but Harry stopped the aged man crouching down and looking around the door frame and floor.
"Just because we have dealt with the magical protection doesn't mean he hasn't put up a few non-magical traps." Harry states giving a small smile at the trip wire along the base of the door signalling Tonks to pull Albus back and away from the doorway Harry stepped back and then with great care threw a rock he just picked up onto the wire a click was the only warning as a crossbow bolt came flying past slamming into one of the trees across from the door.
"Simple but effect ageist most magical people as they would only think of magical traps nothing Muggle," Harry commented carefully stepping into the shack his wand coming up to provide light to see if he could spot the ring and ward stone to get the barrier ward down so they could get out of this dead section of forest.
The brief scan of the single room within the shack Harry found quickly where Voldemort had hidden either the ring or the ward stone given the fact that a section of the room off to one side had a fairly new rug thrown over it, it showed all the signs of being thrown over that section of floor and never walked on and as the devils had eaten all life force within the area the rug was pretty much untouched.
"Looks clear." Harry called back as the others entered the room Albus going towards the small fire-pit to one side a small box sitting on the far side, Tonks however followed Harry's line of sight and saw the rug giving him a small nod as she flicked her wand to throw the rug in such a way that it would block anything that might fly up from hitting them.
After nothing happened other then a large cloud of dust Harry and Tonks looked down to see a small hole had been dug under the rug and a large stone placed in it taking up all the space runes and such carved into it.
"One Ward stone." Tonks says with a smile as she turned to look at Albus who was holding an empty box a worried look on his face at the lack of ring. "That's strange everything points to the ring being here and its not."
Harry looked over his shoulder at Tonks words and just looked at the box in Albus' hands for a moment his eyes narrowing for a moment before looking down at the ward stone, being careful and ready to jump back should anything happen Harry carefully lifted the stone from its resting place showing to his pleasure a single ring sitting within a smaller little hole beneath the ward stone.
'Got you' He thought with a smile as he brought up a dragon hide glove and quickly slipped it on being careful he slowly brought the ring up to look at it in the low light within the shack, a slight shake of the head and smile being all Harry showed the others as he slowly got up and started for the door.
The ring caught the light just as Harry was about to walk outside Albus' eyes going wide as he tried to reach for the item only to have Tonks step in the way, "I'm sorry sir but the orders stand the moment one of the items is found it is to be handed over to Rose for transportation to the Shadow Plane, no matter what the item may be." Tonks states calmly to Albus having seen the look of realisation in the man's eyes at the sight of the ring.
"But the stone within the ring could be one of three great items to ever be made or even to the Wizarding World." Albus states moving to follow Harry who was already on the edge of the clearing holding out the ring to Rose.
"Doesn't matter it will be trapped within the Shadow Plane within a mater of moments." Tonks states as Harry managed to wrap the ring in the second glove handing it over to the Shadow Wolf who gave a single nod of the head and vanished when Harry whipped around and signalled to Tonks who turned herself and fired a blasting curse into the lump of garnet the wards coming crashing down a moment later as the four of them vanished a moment after that Zarra hitching a ride on Harry's shoulder.
Albus gave Harry a slightly upset look on arriving in the Ministry building the sight of Matron Greengrass moving to stand on a stand before a group of reporters and even the captain of the Mercenaries causing him to look away from the two Auror's who both moved to report to Amelia while also listening to the aged new Minister state what she planned on doing while in office and her plans for the war that was to begin soon.
Both Harry and Tonks only paying her a second glance as they reported to Amelia about the successfully destruction of not only the ring but the locket as well.

The named Shadow Wolf of Rose is Harry Potter mother figure and trainer of his basic hunting skills and Shadow control powers when she found him lost and hungry within the woods near Surry, she has sense raised harry as one of her own.
Although she has a possession of power within her own pack Rose has a fun loving and playful side to her that no real leader of people in the human world would be able to get away with and still have control over their place of power, having given birth to a large number of pups in every letter and showing a control over Shadows that no other female wolf within the pack however has allowed her to maintain total control of the females and most of the younger males of the pack.
Rose has always had a joy in walking the normal human world and has a knowledge of most of the forgotten history of Wizarding and Muggle world but has so far refused to share this information with anyone save Harry who like her has also refused to share it.
Fun loving and friendly is really all Rose is about and as such is viewed as little threat to everyone save those who threaten her pack and Harry her favoured pup.
