"Bloody hell now what do we do?" asked Ron.
"We should find a place to lay low and discuss what we should do." suggested Hermione.
"How about there?" I said pointing to an empty cafe.
We walked over to the cafe and all ordered a coffee so we could stay in there for a bit. The lady went into the back to make our orders.
"How did they get through our defenses without us noticing?" I asked.
"I don't know either." stated Hermione. Ron shrugged his shoulder.
"Did you hear what Kingsley's patronus said though? That Percy and Snape led the attack on the ministry." said Ron while glancing at Hermione when he said Percy's name.
"I'm not surprised Voldemort had them do it, they are both really powerful wizards who must be highly trusted by him. It makes sense to have them lead his forces if he wasn't going to go himself." explained Hermione.
"So we should probably start with this R.A.B. person." I said.
Two men walked into the cafe and walked past where we were sitting. They went over to the counter but I saw them glance at us and whisper. I reached for my wand and I saw my friends do the same.
Before I knew what happened I was pushed out of the way by Ron as an Avada Kedavra hit the spot I was sitting at.
"Thanks." I said and received a nod in return.
The two men had jumped behind the counter and we flipped over some tables to hide behind.
"What do we do Hermione?" asked Ron.
"We should be able to take them, it's two against three." she said confidently.
I peeked over the table and saw one of the Death Eaters do the same at the same time.
"Stupefy!" My spell hit its target and the Death Eater fell unconscious.
The other Death Eater sent an Expulso curse at Hermione, but Ron blocked it with a Protego charm and got knocked back. Hermione sent a quick stupefy and went to go check on Ron. He got up and we walked over the the unconscious wizards.
"Ron help me sit them back to back." He nodded while dragging one of the Death Eaters over and we sat them up leaning against each other.
"Incarcerous" I said and ropes appeared binding them together.
"What do we do know? What happens if they wake up?" asked Ron.
"We wipe their memories." said Hermione.
"Ron get the lights, I'll lock the door." I said walking over to the door. Ron pulled out his deluminator and took out all the lights.
"Obliviate." said Hermione wiping both Death Eater's memories. Then the waitress came out with the drinks and saw the place was a mess. She dropped the cups in shock.
"W-what happened here? Who are you kids and why are these men tied up? I'm calling the police." she said nervously while backing away.
"Ma'am, don't worry everything is going to be ok." I said slowly walking towards her.
"S-stay awa-"
"Stupefy." said Ron as the woman fell unconscious.
"Ron! You can't just do that!" yelled Hermione.
"I panicked! What were we supposed to do?" he asked.
"It's fine, we should just wipe her memories too and fix up her shop." I said looking at the now destroyed cafe.
Ron nodded and went over the the woman lying on the floor, "Obliviate."
"Reparo." The cafe started to go back to what it had previously looked like when we entered.
"We can't just leave them in the middle of the cafe." stated Hermione, pointing to the Death Eaters.
"We'll take them out back and put them in the dumpsters." I suggested.
Ron and I lifted them and brought them outside through the back entrance. We opened one of the dumpsters and threw them in there.
"Good as new." joked Ron.
"Let's get out of here." said Hermione.
"Where are we going?" asked Ron.
"12 Grimmauld Place." she answered.
We grabbed onto Hermione and we apparated away once again.
We apparated into Grimmauld Place. Ron and I made sure no one was around while Hermione said the password for the Black Residence to appear.
We walked inside to find the place torn apart.
"Bloody hell what happened here." stated Ron.
"Looks like someone came looking for something and left in a hurry." replied Hermione.
"Let's split up, but be careful. Look for anything that could help us." I said before going into the room where the Black Family Tapestry was. I looked around the room to see if there was anything that would be of use. .
Then it hit me, 'R.A.B….Black? Could the B stand for Black?' I thought. I walked over to the the tapestry and stood in front of it.
'Ok, since this note has to do with Voldemort, it has to be someone recent-ish and not really old.' I thought.
After five minutes of searching I found who I was looking for. Regulus Black, Sirius's brother. . Could this be the person who left the note? Then there was loud banging and yelling coming from outside. I pulled out my wand and rushed into the kitchen.
Ron and Hermione had their wands out pointed at a house elf.
"Kreacher." I said.
"Master Potter, tell your friends to put their wands away." he responded. They looked at me for confirmation and I nodded. They lowered their wands, but didn't put them away. Kreacher looked annoyed by this but didn't say anything.
"Thank you Master Potter. Why are the three of you here?" he asked.
"We came looking for clues on a locket." I said.
"A locket? That Mundungus fool came in here searching the whole place. He found it and left as quickly as he came." he informed.
"Was the owner of this locket Regulus?" I asked.
Hermione looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, Master Regulus had possession of the locket. He told me to keep it safe before he passed, but I could not stop Mundungus." he replied.
"Did Regulus have a middle name that started with A?" I asked. Hermione widened her eyes as it dawned on her what I was saying.
"Indeed, it was Arcturus. Regulus Arcturus Black." he answered.
"R.A.B, is Regulus." said Hermione.
"Do you know where he took the locket?" I asked.
"No, but I know where he sells his wares. I could fetch him for you Master Potter."
"Get him for me." I said.
He nodded and apparated away.
"How did you figure out it was Regulus?" asked Hermione.
"I noticed when looking at the Black family tapestry." I informed them.
"Bloody brilliant." said Ron.
Kreacher apparated back into the kitchen and Mundungus went flying into a chair. The three of us raised our wands at him.
"H-Harry, what can I do for you?" he asked nervously.
"What did you do with the locket?" I asked.
"What locket are you talking about?" he asked.
"Don't play dumb, because of you Mad-Eye got killed. I am not in the mood to wasting time with you. So where is the locket you stole from here!" I demanded angrily.
"U-Umbridge took it. I haven't seen it since. I swear that is all I know." he replied.
"I say we tie him up just in case he is lying." said Ron.
"Incarcerous." said Hermione pointing her wand at Mundungus.
Rope tied him to the chair so he couldn't run. Ron searched his pocket and took his wand away.
"Sorry. I didn't want to have to do this but we need to be sure. This is a very important matter." I said.
"Kreacher take him upstairs." I said. Kreacher nodded and they apparated upstairs.
"How are we going to get it from Umbridge?" asked Ron obviously not wanting to see her.
"We sneak into the Ministry." answered Hermione.
"Bloody hell, are you mad? In case you've forgotten, the ministry is in Voldemort's hands now." said Ron.
"As much as I don't want to either, its our only option Ron." I said agreeing with Hermione.
Time Skip
We were outside in an alley near one of the Ministry's entrance. Ron and I were in position to knock out the last person Hermione would lure. We had already knocked out two people and we needed one more. Just then Hermione led a woman by the alley.
"Stupefy." said Ron and the woman fell unconscious. We quickly carried her into the alley so no one would see us.
Hermione plucked a hair from each person and put each strand in a different flask.
"Remember to try and act normal. If we do, they might not suspect anything." reminded Hermione as she handed us each a flask.
We all drank the potion and started to changed into our respective people. Now we just had to take their clothes and we would be ready to go.
After we changed we walked out of the alley. Ron and I went to the entrance that was the men's restroom while Hermione went to the women's.
Ron and I waited on line patiently until it was our turn. We both went into a stall. Now how are we supposed to get into the ministry.
"We have to flush ourselves in the toilet. Its bloody disgusting." whispered Ron.
There was a knock on my stall, "Hurry up in there."
I stood in the toilet and flushed it. I started to get sucked into the toilet and next thing I knew, I was in the Ministry. There was heavy security all over the place. It would be really bad if we were to get caught. I looked around and saw Hermione standing by the fountain and went over to her. Ron came shortly after.
"Now how do we find Umbridge?" whispered Ron.
"We will just have to look for her." replied Hermione.
We walked over to the lifts to search the rest of the Ministry. The gate was about to close when a hand stopped it.
"Cattermole, it is still raining in my office. That's two days now." said a man looking at Ron.
"Uh have you tried an umbrella?" responded Ron.
"You think this is a joke? Do you realize I'm going downstairs to interrogation to interrogate your wife, Mary. If my wife were accused of being a Mudblood, not that any woman I married would ever be mistaken for such filth and the Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement needed a job doing, I would make it my priority to do this job, Cattermole. Do you understand me? You have one hour." said the man before walking away.
I let out a breath I didn't eve know I was holding. The gates finally closed and the lift started moving.
"Oh my god, what am I going to do? My wife is all alone there." said Ron.
"Ron you don't have a wife…" I said.
"Oh right." he said. Hermione just shook her head.
The lift started to slow down and come to a stop. When it completely stopped, the gates opened and in walked the all too familiar pink suited woman. 'Well that was easy' I thought. I glanced at Ron and Hermione and they were probably thinking the same thing.
"Ah Mafalda, Travers must have sent you to record keep for the interrogation. What good timing to run into you. Hello Albert… you to Reginald..." said Umbridge.
"Uh yes, I was just on my way there." replied Hermione. We both nodded at her.
"Good, we shall go together then." she said.
Hermione and I looked at each other, I tried to tell her to not worry.
As the lift was going to the next stop, Umbridge prepared to get off which was a good thing for Hermione as she knew to get off as well. When the lift stopped Umbridge and Hermione got off not before Hermione looking back at us one more time. The gates closed and the lift started moving again.
"Now what?" asked Ron.
"We should split up. I'll go search her office. You go the that guy's office and see if you can find anything useful. I'll get off at the next stop." I answered.
"Ok." he said nodding.
The lift came to a stop and the gates opened. "Good luck." I said to Ron before getting off.
"You too." he replied.
The gate closed and I started to walk down the hallway. There were a bunch of guards all around. I know I was disguised, but it felt like everyone was watching me. I kept looking behind me to make sure no one was following me for some reason. That's when I crashed into someone and fell.
"Whoa, watch where you're going there Albert. You're lucky it's just me." said a man extending his arm.
I looked up to see who it was. Bloody hell of course it would be none other than Percy Jackson. My blood started to boil. How dare he?
I pushed his hand away and got up by myself.
"I don't need your help." I said trying to conceal my anger.
"Is everything ok?" Percy asked.
"No." I growled.
"Listen, if you're still upset about me making you let that muggle born witch go then whatever. I told you I did not want to see any of that on our mission. We were not to pursue any muggle borns, but you wanted to go after her when that wasn't the objective. Anyways we know who will be believed more in this situation." he said staring intently.
Did Percy really make me, I mean this Albert guy let a muggle born witch go. Why would he do that? Why would he care? Shouldn't he be hating any wizard and witch that aren't pure bloods like Voldemort wants?
"Well are you going to say anything or are you going to keep staring at me?" he said crossing his arms now. That's when I noticed the Death Eater mark on his other arm because his sleeve rode up.
"Sorry, just a bad day." I muttered.
"Uh huh. Well watch where you're going next time. If that's all I'll be going." he said starting to walk away.
"Wait." I called after him deciding to risk it.
"What?" he said turning around.
"Where is Umbridge's office again? I need to get some files on Mary Cattermole that she forgot for interrogation. Sorry I'm having trouble remembering. I uh didn't get much sleep last night and like I said, it's been a long day." I said trying to convince him.
He stared at me squinting his eyes the tiniest bit. I started to get uncomfortable. I knew I shouldn't have asked.
"Down the hall, make a right then go all the way down. After make a left. Interrogation is all the way down in case you forgot that too." he said after what seemed like forever.
"Thanks." I said.
"Don't do anything stupid." he said and continued walking away.
I turned around and made my way to Umbridge's office, following Percy's instructions. I came to a large room with a bunch of desks with quills and parchments on them. The quill were writing on the parchment in unison. These quills looked similar to the ones Umbridge had us use when she was Headmaster. There was a fancy door at the front of these desks. This had to be her office. I walked over to it and walked inside.
I pulled out my wand and thought of the locket, "Accio locket." Nothing happened.
Bloody hell, where could it be. I guess I have to look through everything to be sure. I walked over to her desk and saw a bunch of parchment on it. The one on top caught my attention however. I picked it up and it read:
ARTHUR WEASLEY
BLOOD STATUS: Pure-blood, but with unacceptable pro-Muggle leanings. Known member of the Order of the Phoenix.
FAMILY: Wife (pure-blood), seven children, two youngest at Hogwarts.
SECURITY STATUS: TRACKED. All movements are being monitored. Strong likelihood Undesirable No. 1 will contact (has stayed with Weasley family previously).
Undesirable No. 1? Is that me? Mr. Weasley is in danger then and we had to warn him somehow. I put the parchment back down and looked through her desk drawers. The locket wasn't wasn't there either. Where could it be? I had to find Ron and Hermione. I made sure everything was the way I found it and left Umbridge's office.
I walked back to the lifts and got in an empty one. At the next stop by chance Ron happened to get in. he was dripping wet.
"Pardon me." he said.
"Ron it's me." I said.
"Bloody hell Harry, I forgot wha you looked like." he said.
"Did you find anything?"
"No, how about you?"
"The locket wasn't there, but I did find something. Your dad is being watched Ron. They know he's a member of the Order of the Phoenix and that he is close to me."
"Bloody hell."
"We have to find Hermione and get the locket. Umbridge must have the locket on her."
"Let's get to interrogation."
The lift got to the last stop and the gate opened. We were now at interrogation. We walked down the long hallway and heard voices talking. We walked down to the end of the hallway.
"Mary Elizabeth Cattermole of 27 Chislehurst Gardens, Great Tolling, Evesham. Mother of Maisie, Ellie, and Alfred Cattermole, and wife of Reginald Cattermole." said Umbridge.
"Y-yes." said the woman sitting in a chair in the middle of the room.
Mary turned and saw us, "Reginald?"
Everyone was looking at us so I grabbed Ron and pushed him forward. Hopefully they wouldn't be suspicious.
"Thank you Albert." said Umbridge. I nodded to her in return.
"Mary Elizabeth Cattermole, a wand was taken from you when you arrived here. Is this that wand?" asked Umbridge holding a wand to continue the interrogation.
I walked across the room and noticed that Umbridge had her patronus next to her. I looked up and there were a lot of Dementors being blocked by her patronus.
"Yes, I got it from Diagon Alley at Ollivander's when I was eleven. It chose me."
When I got closer to Umbridge I noticed she had the locket around her neck.
"You're lying. Wands choose wizards and witches and you're not a witch."
"Reginald, please tell them that I am a witch."
I looked at Hermione and she noticed what I was looking at. She nodded at me, understanding what I was going to do.
I pulled out my wand.
"What on Earth are you doing Albert?"
"You're lying Umbridge. You musn't tell lies. Stupefy!" I hit her directly and she was knocked unconscious.
The man who told Ron to fix his office reached for his wand to attack me, but before he could Ron his him with a stupefy. Hermione quickly grabbed the locket off of Umbridge and I threw the fake one onto her podium. Hopefully she wouldn't notice.
The barrier started to fade as well as my polyjuice potion. I was back to normal.
"That's Harry Potter!" yelled someone in the courtroom.
"We got to get out of here now!" yelled Hermione.
We started to run to the lifts and Hermione grabbed Mary to follow us. The four of us got to the elevator and I pulled the lever for the gates to close. The Dementors started to bang on the gates and started to suck our souls.
I struggled to raise my wand, "Expecto Patronum!" The Dementors were sent back and the lift started to go.
By the time we reached the main floor with the entrances, Hermione's polyjuice wore off too.
The gates opened and we ducked our heads to try to make sure no one would see us. We started to walk towards the floo system.
"Oh Reginald." cried Mary.
"Mary, go home and get the kids. I'll meet you there. We have to get out of the country, you understand? Mary do as I say." said Ron. Then Mary kissed him and at that moment Ron's polyjuice wore off.
Mary stopped kissing and realized this wasn't her husband.
"Mary who is that?" said coming the real Reginald.
"Long story, nice meeting you." said Ron before running over to us.
"That's Harry Potter! Its Harry!" yelled some guy next to us while pointing at us.
A bunch of Ministry guards started to run towards us while we ran for the floo. The man from the courtroom started to fire spells at us. How did he get here so fast?
"That's Yaxley! He's one of Voldemort's high ranking Death Eaters!" yelled Hermione.
"Close the floo!" yelled Yaxley.
We were running to the floo system while the guards and Yaxley started to chase after us. I turned around to fire an expelliarmus at Yaxley and I saw water from the fountain rising from the fountain and started to go after the guards. The water swept all of the Ministry guards off their feet. It came after Yaxley but he was too far ahead of the guards. I was able to disarm him and we kept running.
Hermione ran in first and then me. Just before I jumped in I turned to see the water right about to grab Yaxley, but Yaxley jumped after Ron before it could get him and they fell into the floo as well.
We were about to appear at Grimmauld Place but then it changed and we appeared in the middle of a forest. I was lying on the ground panting heavily. I got up and saw the locket next to me and went to pick it up. After I picked it up I saw Hermione with Ron. Ron looked severely injured so i rushed over to them.
"Quick Harry, there is some dittany in my bag." said Hermione. Ron was groaning in pain.
I grabbed Hermione's bag, "Accio dittany." I quickly gave the bottle to Hermione.
"This is going to sting Ron." said Hermione as she started to pour some of the dittany onto his arm.
"What happened? I thought we were going back to Grimmauld Place." I said.
"We were, but Yaxley was able to grab me and I knew once he saw where we were we couldn't stay there. I brought us here and Ron got splinched, it's all my fault." said Hermione, worry laced in her words.
"It's not your fault Hermione." I said reassuring her.
She nodded and got up with her wand and walked a couple of steps ahead.
"Protego Totalum, Salvio Hexia, Repello Muggletum, Muffliato, Cave Inimicum." said Hermione.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Putting up protective enchantments. We can't go anywhere with the condition Ron is in. Start setting up the tent, it's in my bag." replied Hermione.
Time Skip to next day
I walked over to the log and put the locket on it. I walked back over to where Hermione and Ron were standing. Ron was better now, he was able to walk around, but his arm was still messed up pretty badly.
"You first." suggested Hermione.
"Expulso." I said aiming my wand at the locket.
The locket went flying in the air and landed back on the ground. We went to look at it and it looked completely untouched.
"Incendio." said Hermione. The locket caught on fire and burned for a little bit until the fire went out. The locket was again, unfazed.
"Deprimo." I said. The locket was still unscratched.
"Reducto." I said getting angry. The locket was fine again. I continued to fire a bunch of spells at this bloody locket but no matter what, it wouldn't get damaged.
"Bloody hell nothing is working!" I yelled picking up the damned locket and put it around my neck.
"What are you doing?" asked Hermione.
"We have to keep it safe until we figure out how to destroy it." I answered.
"Doesn't it seem strange mate, Dumbledore sends you to find the horcruxes, but doesn't tell you how to destroy them. Doesn't that bother you?" asked Ron.
"I know it's weird, but what do you want me to do?" I asked annoyed.
"I don't know, but you better come up with a way to." said Ron clearly annoyed that we have no known way of destroying the horcrux.
"I don't see you suggesting anything." I said angrily.
"Listen, all I'm saying is that we better find a way to destroy the horcruxes." said Ron.
"Then why don't you help figure it out then?" I said walking right up to Ron.
"Guys stop fighting!" yelled Hermione.
"Ron calm down. I think it's the locket producing negative effects on the person wearing it. It's not really Harry. We'll take turns wearing it so it doesn't heavily affect one of us." she said.
We looked at each other and both nodded.
~~~Line Break~~~

Percy
Voldemort had just called me to come meet him. He said he had something very important to discuss with me. I walked into the room where he holds his meetings and saw that Severus was here as well.
"Lord Voldemort, Severus."
"Percy it is nice of you to join us." said Voldemort.
"May I ask what this meeting is for?" I asked looking at Voldemort.
"Yes, I have some...troubling news." answered Voldemort.
"What news?" asked Severus.
"It's about you Percy. Now you see that Kronos has reformed more, he informed me about a certain son of Poseidon who is not to be trusted among my ranks." he said.
"Then we must find him at once." I said.
"Oh, he is already found. Avada Kedavra!" yelled Voldemort.
I jumped out of the way just in time and pulled out my own wand.
"Stupefy!" I yelled.
Voldemort blocked my spell with Protego and fired off more spells at me. I was able to block some and dodge the rest. Severus pulled out his wand and started firing spells as me as well. I knew he was just doing this to keep his cover. I decided to run for the door. I ran shoulder first into the wooden door, completely shattering it. I dived out of the way as an expulso landed right where I was.
"Kill Percy Jackson! Make him suffer a slow death!" yelled Voldemort probably to every Death Eater at the manor.
"Reducto!" I yelled not looking if it hit its target or not. I had to get out of here. I couldn't apparate from inside the house because there was charms preventing people from apparating in or out.
I made a dash for the door. "Expulso!" I yelled blowing open the doors to see the night sky.
"Sectumsempra."
I was hit in the back with immense pain and tumbled down the front stairs. My wand skidded across the ground in front of me. I slowly got up and crawled to my wand.
"Crucio."
"Reducto."
"Expulso."
"Confringo."
I was hit by multiple spells and I started to bleed heavily. Thank gods demigods had a high resistance to spells that didn't kill instantly. However, at this rate that wouldn't even matter.
"Sectumsempra."
I dropped right in front of my wand. It was right there barely away from my fingers.
"The great Percy Jackson, a traitorous Death Eater." said the familiar voice of Severus. He walked in front of me and bent down and grabbed me by the hair and lifted my head.
"I'm sorry. You know what to do." he whispered in my ear, moving my wand a little closer to me making sure none of the other saw.
"You will now die." he said still holding me, loud enough for the Death Eaters around to hear. I saw Draco standing there in shock, seeing me bleeding heavily on the floor.
"Avada-"
I grabbed my wand, "Stupefy!" I yelled and his Severus. I then apparated away before any of the Death Eaters could react.
I apparated to where Severus told me, my vision going black from the blood loss.
There wa a blurry light and a figure standing a few feet away.
"H-help." I croaked.
"Percy? Oh god, Percy!" said a voice with the rush of footsteps coming closer.
And then everything went black.
