Last chapter
Tonk's smirked and shook Harry harder,
"Harrrrry, are you there love,...I'm pregnant" she said in a sing song voice.
His eyes flew open.
"WHAT THE FUCK!."
Chapter 30
"HA gotcha! Only kidding luv, snapped you out of it though didn't it" Tonks chuckled.
Harry scowled.
"Going to need a bed pan here now, or at least a sponge" he chuckled, and gave a sigh "if that's what they want to do then I won't stop them, but Mom I think we are going to need a bigger house."
Amelia snorted a laugh.
"I think you're right son" she chuckled and placed a kiss on his forehead, "well I'll leave you two love birds and get back to the fort, then go and tell the Sister to go ahead" and she walked out of the room.
Tonks snuggled up to Harry's side,
"I can't wait for all this to be over Harry, it's starting to get scary. How many times are you going to get hurt?" she said, letting her emotions out.
"I know, I wish it would stop too. I just want to settle down and enjoy life and this shit just keeps on coming at me" he said pulling her in closer, "But in time we will have a future, all of us and that includes you my sexy little nurse" and he slapped her on the bum.
Tonks giggled.
"Well, I always loved to dress up as a child, and you must admit my bedside manner is second to none."
Back at the fort
Everybody was quiet, all with books in hand, either in the library or the lounge. Then the Floo flared and Tonks came flying out, still wearing her nurses uniform.
Daphne just raised an eyebrow. Tracey, Luna and Pansy started to giggle as Amelia came walking in from the kitchen.
"Back so soon Tonks? I thought you were going to be longer with Harry?" Amelia asked.
Tonks huffed.
"Bloody staff, they threw me out" Tonks snapped and with a wave of her wand she changed back into her street clothes.
Daphne turned her head to the side analytically.
"Hmmm, what did you do Tonks?" she asked quizzically.
The pink haired Auror who was now sporting flame red hair quickly reacted.
"Nothing! I was just cuddling up to my man, and they were jealous" she spat at the younger girl with who just smirked.
Just then an owl flew into the fort and settle in front of Amelia. Tonks started to shift uncomfortably as she watched as her Mother in Law and boss opened the letter, scanned it and sighed.
"Right" Amelia announced. "It looks like Lord and Lady Black have been banned from St Mungo's for everything except emergencies" she sighed and continued to read, "Harry is being transported via port key to Madam Pomfrey's care."
"Why? What did they do to piss the staff off?" Tracey asked, while trying to hold in her laughter.
Amelia looked at the young blonde,
"All it said was a lewd act on hospital grounds while wearing hospital uniform" she explained making the crowd of girls giggle madly.
"What did you do Tonks?" Daphne whispered, and gave her a brief smile.
Tonks leaned in close.
"Harry liked my outfit a little bit too much, and he got into a certain state. We wanted to test his strength, so I climbed on top and do what we do best but that's when the head healer came in, and here we are" she chuckled and then stopped as her boss shot her a glare, "whoops."
Amelia rubbed her forehead.
"Tonks I'll talk to you at home. Daphne can you retrieve Milly and Hermione and meet me up at the infirmary?" she asked and saw the rest start to protest, "it's too late for him to have lots of visitors, but I'll come back and let you know" she said and walked off.
The infirmary
Harry was getting fussed over by Madam Pomfrey.
"Why did they let you go Harry?" she asked as a cold compress was placed upon his forehead.
He smiled at her.
"They said I was well enough to come back to the premier care of the one and only Poppy Pomfrey" he said happily.
"Aww Harry, should I crack the window, so the smell of bullshit can be aired out?" Poppy asked with a sickly-sweet smile.
He knew she would not let this go, but he had to buy time till he felt better so he could do a runner. He gave her another weak smile.
"It's ok Mom, it was just a misunderstanding, but I'm glad I'm back here" Harry explained, as Poppy took a seat by him and once again did battle with his hair.
"I'm glad you're back too son. You must stop getting hurt like this Harry, I want to see grandkids, and to see you finally happy and out of this place. I know this time wasn't your fault, but from now on, always take someone with you" Poppy said earnestly.
Harry grasped her hand.
"I'm sorry mom, I will, I promise" he said and laid back in his bed. He heard the familiar sound of a group of women walking into the infirmary, all Stoney faced.
"Hello ladies, I take it you are here to see the human pin cushion which is Harry Potter" Poppy chuckled.
The girls gathered around Harry and took up seats, apart from Milly who snuggled up next him.
"Hello Harry." she whispered. "Next time I say I'm coming with you, I will be coming with you,...ok?"
He nodded.
"I'm sorry love, I just didn't see it coming. But I promise you all, nowhere alone" he stated and saw Poppy talking to Amelia, and handing her a note.
Daphne nodded at him.
"You have a lot of people relying on you. I know we have been over this before, but things are getting worse, rumours are flying about the place, the looks the deatheater kids are giving us are scary looks. We need to start to train, we've had fun, but that time is over" she said firmly.
Amelia heard this and nodded.
"Daphne's right Harry, things have to change. I can only protect you so much, and not while you're here Son. You trained nearly all of the fifth year, now step up and train you're girl, tonks and I will help all we can, and I'm sure your other mother I'm sure will help out, and I'm sure young Bella would happily kick your arse too" she explained.
"I've been hitting the books" Hermione said.
"NO SHIT!" the room chorused, making her huff.
The bush haired witch stamped her foot down, bringing smirks from the room.
"As I was saying, I have a lot of offensive spells, but also I have an idea of fighting in small groups, two fighters one defender" she eagerly explained
"That's amazing Mione" Harry said, and eyed Madam Pomfrey tapping her food with a look that has caused many a patient runaway, she was holding the letter Amelia brought in. "Errr you ok Mom" he asked.
"You know I have friends at St Mungo's, and I have told them we have a close bond almost like mother and son" Poppy said sternly.
"Yes mom" he whispered, and noticed Milly slipping off the bed.
"So what you call a misunderstanding, they call a lewd act! I read that you were caught SHAGGING YOUR WIFE TONKS, IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER NEARLY DYING" she raged with sparks flying out of the tip of her wand.
Amelia and the girls ran for their lives as they heard Harry's screams follow them down the hall.
In a classroom several boys were gathered around with several gold spheres on a table. A couple of spheres were in pieces and once completed which they were trying to charm.
"It just won't hold the charm" Theodore Nott said earnestly.
"It has to, otherwise we will be done for. I've already paid the other boy to keep away, and it cost me all the money I had" Draco said quietly.
"When do you think we can use them?" Goyle slurred and got strange looks from the other boys.
"How thick are you? There are two games left and I paid that greedy little git to throw the game" Draco spat, "When he's gone I will get the Black house, and our worries will be done with" and he laughed.
Nott rubbed his face,
"Well I've got someone to swap them before the game, so we are set there" he said and looked at Draco, "My father has notified the Dark Lord, he is expecting it to happen on that date, if not we'd better run, because father says he will flay us alive."
"It'll work, I know it will" Draco said to the worried boys, 'I hope' he thought.
They weren't the only ones plotting. The group of junior death eaters were planning an attack on the Potter group too. They had had been swanning around too much for their liking. Two boys and two girls were up for the attack, even if they were expelled and their wands were broken. Their parents had promised to finish their education by some of the darkest minds in the death eaters ranks, trouble will be coming to Hogwarts.
Harry finally managed to get back to the fort and start to live his life normally. Pansy dragged him to bed the first night as she was still angry that he had gotten himself stabbed on her night! They had taken it easy as Harry had a note from Madam Pomfrey which basically said any shagging about he would lose the equipment to do so, and apart from that he had to donate a hefty sum of money to St Mungo's as a sorry for embarrassing his nurse mum.
The Black sisters were still at Gringotts but Tonks and Amelia had started the groups training. They were using Hermione's tactics, and they were coming along fine. There were more people exercising in the morning, everyone who didn't bounce too much ran, leaving Milly and Susan having a lay in.
The tactics worked well, and with thanks to the forts library the spells repertoire was better than most adult wizard. They started duelling each other to see who the best fits were.
Group A
Defender Hermione
Attacker Harry
Attacker Daphne
Group B
Defender Luna
Attacker Neville
Attacker Hannah
Group C
Defender Milly
Attacker Tracey
Attacker pansy
Group D
Defender Susan
Attacker Astoria
Attacker Ginny
Harry and Daphne's fitness surpassed everyone else's, and their quickness and strength of casting made even Amelia and tonks think twice at duelling with them, and when you threw in Hermione's defensive spells, they cleaned the floor with the rest of them.
The yule holidays were coming, and the training was going well but Dumbledore hadn't had any luck trying to find the outstanding soul anchors, but he was hoping that when the founders heirs have completed their contracts, they would be able to link with any of the missing founders artefacts, he didn't like to think about the whole sex aspect of the contract, luckily the kids seem quite happy with it.
The fighting groups were just heading down from the room of requirement. Harry and Luna were in the lead, the little blonde-haired girl hadn't stopped talking since they had left the room.
"But Daddy said if we wait till summer the crumble horned Snorkack will be breeding, that way they should be easier to find. Will you come with us Harry?" Luna asked as they walked down the stairs.
"I think so Luna, for at least a week if that's ok" he said happily, knowing that his free time would be scarce in the summer.
They had just reached the landing as Luna started to bounce up and down with happiness.
"Thank you, Harry. We'll have so much fun. Daddy says we can have our own tent, but as it will be warm it would be nice to ride you outside" she than stopped and pushed Harry to the side before falling down with a scream as she was caught by a cutting curse, the groups scattered and started to engage the enemy.
Harry dragged Luna to cover and gave her a kiss on the forehead,
"You'll be ok Luna, you saved my life" he said as he ducked a redactor curse, "dobby."
Crack.
"Yes, Master Harry sir".
"Take Luna to Poppy" Harry instructed and watched the little elf disappear with the bleeding girl. He cast a protego and popped his head up and saw the group holding their own. He recognised the attackers, it was the deatheater group who had threatened his girls in the snake pit. "Dobby".
Crack.
"Poppy is fixing up Luna moon" the little elf said.
"Thank you, now can you take me up to the landing above" Harry asked and grabbed his friends hand.
Crack, Harry appeared and could see two of the attackers. One was Pucey the leader, the other was a dark haired girl. Many emotions flitted through his mind, but then he saw Milly nearly getting hit. Harry took aim.
"Reducto, stupefy" he said, and watched as the dark-haired girl got hit by the stunner. Pucey wasn't as lucky as the reducto threw the heartless bastard over the railing, and he didn't stop until the stone slabs broke his fall. Harry knew he had now taken a life but moved on, he took the girls wand and wrapped her in rope.
His girls grinned at him as he headed towards them and they turned all their wands on the last pair which within two minutes were taken down brutally.
They were soon swarmed around by teachers alike and in front was a very angry Snape.
"Finally, Potter. I will get you out of this school. I'll have you being kissed by the dementors by dinnertime" the potion master sneered.
Dumbledore held up his hand to quieten the angry man and looked at Harry,
"What happened Mr Potter?" he asked while looking at the bleeding group.
"We were just walking down from the seventh floor when Luna pushed me away and she got hurt by a cutting curse sent by one of those" he spat pointing at the tied-up pair. "They had us in a cross fire; two from above and below. I got a house elf to take Luna to Poppy and then to take me behind the ones upstairs. I stunned one and Pucey fell over the edge when I hit him with a Reducto" Harry explained.
Dumbledore nodded.
"Did you really need to take the boy's life Harry? You could have stunned him" he said sadly, and saw the anger appear on the boy's face as well as the girls.
"Yes, I could have, but they weren't going to. They wanted us dead despite what your attack dog thinks. We protected ourselves and we will do it again if we have to" Harry growled, and saw Snape put his hand in his pocket.
Amelia and several Aurors arrived and the rest of the day was spoilt by having to tell their sides of the story. As usual Dumbledore and Snape wanted detentions for the aggressors only, and Snape wanted Potter expelled. Neither happened.
The surviving trio of attackers were taken back to the ministry and charged with attacking Lord and Ladies of Noble and Ancient houses, and no matter how much money their parents threw about, they weren't getting off.
A bloody month
Voldemort was furious. All he had left in Hogwarts were idiots and Snape who he wasn't sure he could trust. The Malfoy and Nott boys had a good plan, but it would take time while leaving Potter to swan around claiming himself the Lord of Hogwarts. He had told the others to watch, learn and report back. But what did they do? Attack the boy and his friends leaving three arrested and one dead. No great loss but their parents were becoming very whiney, he had promised that they would be broken out of Azkaban soon enough.
The dark lord stepped over the bloody corpse of a Muggle who he tortured while he pondered. He always thought the screams calmed him somewhat.
"Muliciber, Dolohov, Pettigrew" he shouted and saw the three men scuttle in.
"Yes master" they said, all three-bowing lowly.
"It's time to hurt Potter. I want the families of his friends butchered, kill the men and do what you want with the women, but they must be left so it can be seen what happens to those who follow Potter" Voldemort spat.
"Which ones my Lord? They are many and our numbers are still quite low" Dolohov said.
The dark lord sneered,
"Greengrasses, Parkinson's, those muggles filth Grangers, and the Bones's. They all have wards so make sure you get some curse breakers, and make sure you do night-time attacks, you'll need time with your victims. I don't want them just killed, they should fear us, make it so" he spat and waved the scum away.
He did miss Bella. She was one person he could torture for hours, he sighed 'so lonely' he thought and started to torture another victim who was dressed as a muggle Traffic warden. (I received a parking ticket this week, gits).
It was the second week of December by the time they had gathered curse breakers from Europe, so the goblins wouldn't get wind of it. But the down side of this was that they worked slower as the goblin wards in Britain differ from the ones in Europe, but they would be able to break them to leave a lovely yule gift for the blood traitors.
They had two curse breakers at each property and a squad of recruits led by experienced death eaters, apart from the Bones household, they were all old hands who were dedicated to the dark lord and looking forward to taking the bones bitch down.
Gringotts
Griphook went running through the bowels of the bank and finally made it to the director's office and banged on the door, while gasping for the breath.
"Come" the voice came which made the panting goblin run in.
"What is it Griphook" the director asked.
"Sir, the ward masters have noticed the Greengrass, Parkinson, Grangers and Bones wards are losing power" Griphook's managed to say between breaths.
Ragnok banged his desk,
"How long until they fail?" he demanded and started to pull sheets of parchment out.
"We have three days till they break, unless something else happens" Griphook said.
"Bastard death eaters, they wiped out a goblin family last week. Right send out scouts, I want names and quantities" he said and watched the small goblin run away.
Ragnok deliberated whether to contact anyone yet. If he told the Bones lady he would have to play by the rules, and the Black sisters were still de-aging. He decided on a little note to the Potter Lord. He had heard that Harry had just killed a boy for attacking his friends, so he was hopeful the boy would allow things to be done.
Lord Potter
I received a message that the ward for the families of Grangers, Greengrasses, Parkinson's and Bones are under attack, and are starting to weaken, we have under three days to act.
I don't think a soft hand should be shown to these people as they don't show the same respect, I understand that you know how to protect your friends and family, but will you allow me to protect yours, I am gathering information as I write this, let me know as soon as possible how to go forward.
May your enemies fall at your feet.
Dir Ragnok.
The day's work continued, and he had received some early information about the attacks. The main trouble makers were at the Bones manor house, he had already ordered the Goblin Speznaz back from assignment in Russia. They were already looking over maps and images of the ground houses and the death eaters.
It was lunchtime by the time he received a letter from the young Lord, it was short and to the point.
My Lord
Friends and family are all we have…...BURY THEM!
Do we have friends to send death eaters in Azkaban to their next adventure?
Your friend
Harry Potter
The goblin smiled, he did like the young lord, and that thought had been going through his mind quite a lot as of late. The wizards in the ministry were corrupt and the ones who weren't were controlled by the ones that were.
"GRIPHOOK" he shouted and heard the scuttling feet of the little goblin.
"Yes sir" Griphook said.
"Tell the troops Lord Potter says no prisoners, also get me the names and quantities of Death eaters in prison" he said and set in motion the river of blood.
Greengrass Manor
The moon was high, and it was cold, it wasn't the best for Death eater Mortimer Goldman. He left school a few years ago with only a handful of owls but being a pureblood, he thought he would walk right into a job. He was wrong, he was poor and so was his family. You needed money to make money, his father was proud to hear that his son had joined the Dark Lords ranks, but his mother was totally the other way. He held onto the fact that when the Dark Lord does take over he would be rich and have the pick of all the muggle born bitches he could rape.
He smiled to himself as he scanned the wooded area and saw his fellow recruits doing the same. He secretly hoped that the Greengrasses eldest was home, he had tried to get to her several times and never managed it, but in the new world she would be his and once again he allowed a smile appear on his face, and that was how he died, he never even felt the skewer like blade which had been thrust into the base of his skull killing him instantly and he was gently laid down at the same time as the other recruits who joined him in hell.
Thorin Rowel was tapping his foot in impatience. He could have been in the pub tonight, or at the club having some fun with some muggle meat.
"How long is it going to take?" he snapped towards the Spanish curse breakers who just shrugged as they worked on a ward stone that they had just found.
And like his recruits he never felt the knife entering his spine, paralysing him before having his throat cut. The curse breakers did jump up but were felled by heavy crossbow bolts to their black hearts.
The same thing was happening at the Parkinson's and Grangers homes, they all died quiet deaths that they never truly deserved, because their victims were never granted such respect.
Bones Manor
The head goblin of the goblin spetsnaz legion; he had ten soldier's which had now surrounded the death eaters. They weren't like the recruits, these were professional at what they were doing, their heads were on the swivel continuously. He hoped it would go quickly but he had this feeling, he could see the flash of silver on Pettigrew's hand, then you had the two dark skinned curse breakers, the Carrow twins, Muliciber, Dolohov and Yaxley, all heavy hitters.
They had the Anti-port key and Anti-apparition wards ready to go, the only order he had was no prisoners. The Lord Potter wanted a clean sweep and that's what they would do.
He held up his hand and let it drop, and in an instant the wards went up and crossbow bolts flew, and as they did hidden specialists jumped up hacking and cutting in close quarters. There were spells flying and screams and shouts in all types of language. He saw the light come on in the Manor but there was knife work to do. He crept forward and saw the funny looking wizard with a silver hand disappear, but once again he saw a flash of silver and chucked his dagger piercing a screaming rat to the ground which turned into a dying man.
He found Yaxley dying a slow death after being hit by a couple of bolts in his chest. He slowly sank his sword into the man's heart. At the end they had only lost one goblin, and a couple of injuries, all but two of the death eaters were killed Alecto and Amycus were still alive but surrounded.
"Master Goblin, what has happened here?" Madam Bones asked sternly.
The Goblin bowed and then explained,
"Director Ragnok had a report that some of Lord Potter family's wards were under attack" he said.
"Why was I not contacted? and what other properties" Amelia asked as Tonks walked up behind.
"The director contacted the owner of the wards, and they decided to take action" he said and nodded to his troops who dispatched the Carrows.
"No prisoners, no one attacks Lord Potters family" he said, nodded and then walked away.
"We have to talk to Harry" Amelia said and walked off as she felt the wards re-charge.
Tonks smiled to herself as she watched all the bodies of the despatched death eaters being dragged away.
"I do love that husband of mine" she whispered and followed her boss inside.
Well there we go, I will try and get another out very soon.
Hope you have enjoyed it.
Look after yourselves.
