Chapter 23 -- Extraction
Harry was standing in the middle of the female witches section of the joke shop. All around him were love potions and pink and purple Pygmy Puffs and all kinds of various make up magical items created by the twins. Fred said that seventy percent of his clientele were female so with the help of their only sister, came up with quite a unique product line for girls.
Harry had transfigured his robes to something very similar to what a ninja would wear. It was tight fitting but he could move extremely quick in them without making any noise. Poised in all black with a full head mask so the only thing visible were his eyes through a tiny slit in the mask. He was currently looking at his wrist watch.
"Two minutes forty two seconds" Harry shouted as everyone suddenly joined him from various positions throughout the Shop.
"Let me explain how these work while George hands them out. Pinch the bridge of the glasses and extend your finger and your thumb across the lenses like this. That will activate the glasses, once activated, you will be able to see through our own invention, Instant Darkness Powder. But here's the real kicker, do the swipe again, and you can see through most walls and doors, that way you can see what's on the other side, then apparate into that room so the door never has to open." said Fred
"yeah, but in heavily warded places like we will be entering, that most likely won't be an option, but at least we will know what to expect when we open the door. My favorite feature is of course the most important." added George
"I will explain but while I do that, can you transfigure these so they will fit our Goblin Allies Please Harry, these are still prototypes, they don't come in various sizes yet." said George as Harry helped out the three Goblins that were part of the Rescue Team.
"Because these are Prototypes, it is extremely vital that they do not fall into the hands of the Death Eaters. So if you get captured, Merlin forbid, they will find them extremely interesting, especially after our little venture. If they break down the code, they will know how we make our powder and use it against us to drastic effects if you know what I mean." said Fred
"We got it mate, destroy the glasses if we get caught." said Ernie
"exactly, but we made it easy for you, push this small button then say For the Pureblood Cause then in five seconds, they will explode, hopefully on the face of a damned Death Eater." grinned George
"Wicked!!" said both Ernie and Lee at the same time
"I know, could save your but in a jam, you never know when you might need a distraction. also everyone take an ear and an ear core. Stick the ear to the inside of your mask. We will all have bubblehead charms which will prevent our voices being heard by outsiders but we can still communicate" smiled Fred
"You guys truly are amazing, when did you make these products? I know those are not on the newest catalog?" asked Lee as Ernie was nodding his head
"Sorry Chaps, those are secret prototypes and will most likely never be sold to the general public." added George
"I knew you two were up to something besides joke planning in that workshop all the time." laughed Ernie
"Back to Business, so when we arrive, we will already be disillusioned and all our equipment and clothing will be sound proofed. Once Remus' location is known, we throw down the powder and begin the extraction." commanded Harry
"Once the Powder is released, we will have five minutes, remember, just because they can't see us does not mean they are helpless, there are ways within the Dark Arts, anything is possible so be alert." Added Fred
"Right, the only purpose is to retrieve Remus and any other hostages and return to Gringotts, are we clear?" continued Harry
"Crystal!" shouted everyone as the Goblins were now ready and equipped with the special glasses.
"But once the target position is acquired and the powder is released, we are to lay down fire for distraction correct?" asked one of the Goblins
"That is correct Kongack, I will retrieve the package personally, all of you just lay down fire and take out as many as you can. Once I have Remus, we activate our Portkey's and escape, no playing around or lingering. Remember extract and escape, completely stealth." Said Harry as everyone readied themselves.
"The Portkey's were provided by Lord Whiplock himself and I boosted the power on all of them, they should work through just about anything, but if there is a problem, jump out a window then activate instantly once outside. The portkey code phrase is Mudblood Lovers. It is my hope that this whole mission gets accomplished without any of our identities confirmed. If I have to, I will make myself known, if I do, that does not mean you have to follow, stay hidden the entire time." said a concerned Harry
"We understand Harry, your not forcing this on us Mate, we choose willingly to fight the cause against those demons." said Lee
"Yeah Harry, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't even be alive today, Riddle would've taken over years ago." said Ernie as the Twins nodded their heads that they agreed.
"Thank you guys, warriors, Brothers….Merlin bring us all home safe." Harry declared and with that the five Wizards, Harry, Fred, George, Ernie, and Lee along with three Goblins cast the final spells on their persons and clothing then they all touched the Portkey and waited for Harry to say the password.
"PUREBLOOD SUPREMECY FOREVER!" shouted Harry and the invisible eight disappeared.
As the abnormal compression feeling disappeared, the hairs on the back of Harry's neck began to immediately tingle. It was dark and damp, and they couldn't hear a thing, the one drawback to the bubblehead charm. No one moved at first until Harry slowly dropped his hands holding the portkey, then put it in his pocket and took the lead while the other seven fanned out behind him.
"Guys, we need to cancel the Bubblehead, we need to be able to hear what's going on. We can still communicate, just whisper very quietly. Kongack, you three keep quiet, no talking okay guys." Said Harry as the Goblins simply nodded as the rest canceled their charms.
They were in caves that were similar to the one Harry witnessed inside Wormtail's memory. There was an awful stench that if you concentrated long enough on it, you would end up vomiting.
Noises could be heard echoing throughout the caves as the invisible eight pressed on. Making their way up a long corridor where at the end it forked off. Towards the left, the path weaved up, and to the right, it weaved down.
"Harry, it's been our experience that they usually keep the prisoners in the basement. I think we should go right, to the lowest level we can." whispered Fred
"You have a point, and I think it's a good idea. We will split off, you guys go to the right and make your way down as low as you can. My Goblin Brothers and I will go left and make our way up and out of these caves. Something tells me that they will not lock Remus up. They will take him directly to Riddle to begin the torturing." whispered Harry
"Then we should all go left and stick together." said Lee
"No, we should split up, I am sure those Death Eater scumbags took more hostages then just Remus. You guys should head down and see if you can find any holding cells. We will make our way up and look for Remus and any intel we can pick up. I will contact you every minute on the minute. If you don't hear from me after two minutes, evacuate as soon as possible and meet up at Gringotts." commanded Harry
"All right Mate, be careful and don't go looking for trouble. Just look for Remus, grab him and escape, no fancy spell work." scolded George.
"You guys be safe too, if you find any prisoners or hostages, keep them with you with a bubblehead charm over their heads, I wouldn't want anyone in shock to expose your position. Then when its time to leave, portkey out with them in tow, do not attempt to send them out ahead of us, that will definitely alert them of our presence here." suggested Harry
"Right mate, smart thinking!" said Ernie
"Now you guys understand why we follow Harry's lead." said the twins in unison
"Good Luck, see you guys on the other side." smirked Harry as he made his way up towards the left with three menacing Goblins following closely behind.
As it opened up, there were small little cavern like rooms, all along the wall. Moving quietly pass the first one, Harry spotted a few Death Eaters but no Remus. He was about to walk on but Kongack stopped Harry with a hand on his shoulder. Harry looked up quickly at said Goblin who was motioning towards his glasses and then back into the room. Harry understood the cue, and double swiped his glasses then peered back into the cavern.
With the Weasley special glasses, Harry could see every source of body heat that was in that room, and the Goblin was right, there were two other heat sources apparently, lying down in separate corners.
"I can't tell if either of those two sources is Remus or not?" said Harry
"It isn't your Godfather, both sources appear to be female." sated Kongack
At hearing that news, Harry wanted to press on seeing how Remus was not in that room but Harry couldn't just leave those poor girls to those wolves in there.
"All right, I'm going in, you three stay here. This won't take but a few seconds, I need to eliminate them as quiet as possible. Notify me through the ear cores if someone approaches out in this hallway." said Harry as the Goblins nodded.
Harry opened the door slowly while paying rapt attention to the Death Eaters to see if they noticed the door opening, they didn't and Harry slipped inside the room un-noticed.
Taking a good look around the room, Harry Noticed five Death Eaters in here, all of them were doing separate things. He slowly made his way closer to the first girl. First thing he noticed was that she was completely naked. The second was that she was slightly bruised up, glancing across the room to the other girl, he noticed that she too was without clothes.
Both girls were breathing and appeared to be conscious as Harry made his way over to the two Death Eaters that were sitting at a small table researching something because the table was filled with books. Harry pulled out his small dagger and crept up slowly from behind them while they were talking to each other.
"Did you have time to enjoy your new bed companion yet?"
"No, not yet. The second I got her in here, Snape tells me the Dark Lord wants me to start researching that project right away, and then just dumps all these books and tells me to begin."
"I know, pretty much the same for me, so I threw her down and she started crying and screaming again so I slapped her around for a few, that shut her up real quick. I am looking forward to making her scream some more tonight."
"Your girl is pretty hot, what do you say we trade tomorrow for a little bit, could be fun?"
"We'll see, did you know that most of these books are the Dark Lords from his personal library?"
"No I didn't, he never shares the knowledge in his personal Library. I guess Snape wasn't lying when he said that this was an important project from the Dark Lord."
"Yeah we might not get to enjoy our pretty's until tomorrow night."
"Well, we can always take a little twenty minute break. That will at least give us a chance to break them in first. I hate it when some other high ranking Death Eater comes in and just takes whatever they want, we have to get our firsts in quickly."
Harry had heard enough of this conversation. He was thankful to hear that both girls had not been raped yet even though they will most likely be traumatized by this, it could have been worse. Keeping one eye on the other three Death Eaters who will most likely notice when these two hit the ground, he would have to be fast.
Coming up from behind, Harry stabbed the first Death Eater in the middle of the back of his neck and sliced across quickly, splattering blood across the table as he moved to the second Death Eater who just realized something was wrong just as he too was cut down, spraying more blood across the table.
The nearest Death Eater noticed right away that something was wrong as suddenly two of his comrades had fallen and were bleeding badly. Pulling his wand, the Death Eater panicked when he couldn't see anyone.
"Someone's here, sound the alarm!!"
The other Two Death Eaters stood abruptly, while pulling their wands out. Both girls had stirred and were now sitting up looking out across the room.
Harry threw his dagger at the nearest Death Eater then quickly pulled his wand. The Dagger stuck true, hitting the Death Eater in the eye with a sickening crunch as he screamed in agony before falling to the ground, lifeless.
The remaining two Death Eaters started blasting spells randomly across the room forcing Harry to dive to the side and slide across the floor as spells rang out over his head. Still lying on the floor, Harry shot two accurate and powerful Reducto's ending this small battle abruptly.
Getting to his feet, both girls were now standing while trying to get the shackles of their feet. Harry made himself visible and made over towards the closest girl.
"I need you to remain quiet, I'm here to help and to get you out of here." said Harry as he used his wand to unlock the shackles as they fell to the floor. The girl upon seeing Harry unlock her shackles, froze as she realized who it was that was saving her life.
"Your….Harry Potter aren't you, of course you are, who else would risk their lives to save innocents and battle Death Eaters!!" she said rather loudly as she attempted to cover herself as Harry was freeing the other girl from her shackles.
Harry frowned at the first girl then motioned with his finger for her to be quiet. The second girl pounced on Harry and was showering him with kisses. Harry froze for a second as he was unprepared to have a completely naked girl kissing and hugging him.
Coming to his senses, Harry got the girl off him and made his way over towards the table and pulled out a small object, then suddenly it became a huge trunk. He motioned for both girls to come closer as he opened up the trunk to the apartment compartment.
"Both of you quickly place a hand on the lid right here." said Harry as he quickly keyed in the girls so they could enter. Once that was done, Harry set the time delay completely off and motioned for the girls to enter.
"There's no time, both of you go down and into the room. It's a small apartment, make yourselves at home, there should be some clothes in there that might fit you as well. Do you know if there are any other girls or anyone else around?"
"Yes, I know that there were at least twenty girls that were taken with me from Diagon Alley but I don't know where they are now?" said the second girl as the first girl just nodded her head but said nothing while still attempting to cover herself. The second girl apparently had no problem showing off her body, or maybe she was just so happy to be rescued that she didn't care, either way it worked for Harry, in more ways then one if you know what I mean.
"Okay, now go quickly, I am sure someone heard those spells being cast." said Harry as both girls rushed down the stairs and into the apartment.
After closing the trunk, Harry opened it again to the main, simple trunk compartment. He then turned towards all the books that were scattered across the table. He summoned them all into the trunk, then closed the lid and re-shrunk the trunk and placed back on his wrist. Making his way out the room, Harry recovered his dagger from the eye socket of the now dead Death Eater and gave a short status report to the fellas.
"Hey guys, Harry here, we rescued two hostages and have eliminated five Death Eaters with very little resistance but I'm afraid that they might have heard some of the battle, how are you guys faring?" asked Harry
"George here, were making our way lower. Two Death Eaters down but no luck yet."
"Keep going just be on the alert, Harry out."
Stepping back into the hallway, Harry continued up the path with the Goblins following.
They passed a few more rooms with no body in them as they made their way up the stony path that suddenly changed to a dirty wooden floor. Looking all around as they made their way higher up, Harry had a good idea where they were, Riddle Mansion.
Making it to a small hallway with about twenty steps, Harry paused as he swiped his glasses again and took a few looks overhead before turning to Kongack.
"There looks to be several Death Eaters mixed in with a few hostages on the floor directly above us. From Wormtail's memories, Riddle will be on the highest floor, so it looks like we are going to have some major resistance before we ever make it that far."
"Might I suggest that you make it quietly up there before us, then we will enter and begin blasting, causing a great distraction for you to make it up to Mister Lupin." said Kongack
"That might actually work, though I don't feel comfortable leaving you three to be played in some distraction maneuver." stated Harry
"Nonsense My Lord, don't worry about us, we are only hoping that some of our Goblin traitorous bastards are up there as well." replied Kongack with a little smirk
"Okay, give updates to the guys for me, stay here in this hallway until I call you, then head upstairs and cause serious havoc." smirked Harry as the Goblins simply bowed their head with their right hand over their heart.
Harry made his way up and slowly opened the door and snuck out, closing the door behind him. Making his way across the room. He spotted several Death Eaters, about twelve to be exact along with about five girls handcuffed in the corner, all of them were naked. He wanted to head over there and rescue them, but he had a mission, and that would jeopardize it.
Harry spotted the hallway with the stairs leading up to the next floor and made his way over and up the stairs. With the Twin's sweet glasses, Harry always knew what to expect before entering any room or opening any doors. Again, he was going to have to thank them, as well as give them a little bonus for accomplishing that task so quickly.
This floor looked to be mostly bedrooms, most of witch were vacant. Making it across the hallway, Harry found another set of stairs leading up even higher. As he was checking through the door to make sure he was clear, he suddenly spotted two Death Eaters making their way down the stairs and were about to open the door.
Harry quickly turned and entered the closest bedroom, closing the door behind him then he took a few steps back. He heard the Death Eaters open the hallway door and walk down the hallway and away from his position. Letting out his breath he didn't realize he was holding in, Harry went back to the door and looked through it and down the hallway to make sure the coast was clear before opening the door and exiting the room.
After opening the stairwell door and heading up to the next level, Harry found himself in almost a mirror image of the floor he just left. The entire hallway was lined with bedroom doors, again most of them were empty of Death Eaters, Harry assumed that they must be holding a meeting on the top floor while he interrogates Remus. Making his way across this floor, Harry spotted two more female hostages in the last room and they were alone.
Harry opened the door and entered, closing the door behind him.
"Who's there, I know someone is there, be a man and make yourself visible. I told you bastards last time, if your going to rape me, your going to have to knock me out first because I will not let you have your way!" shouted one of the girls as the other was standing slightly behind the first.
Harry made himself visible and then immediately motioned for silence. Both girls were quiet for a few moments as Harry spun around to view the hallway through the walls. What he saw was three Death Eaters walking down the hallway towards their room.
"Shit, Death Eaters coming, lie back down and pretend to be asleep, don't say anything, I will dispatch of them and get you out of here I promise, hurry!" said Harry as both girls did what he asked as Harry was dis-illusioning himself once more.
"Wake up you little bitches!! It's time to please your new masters!!" said one of the Death Eaters
"Awwww they must be all tuckered out already, did someone already get to them?" Replied another Death Eater
"No, I heard that Nott and a few others attempted, but they ended up knocking them out after beating them up real good." said the third Death Eater
"Really, cuzz they don't look that battered?" replied the first Death Eater
"I know, that's cuzz we heal them up after, that way we can start all over again!" answered the third Death Eater as all three began to laugh.
Harry took this opportunity to take them out while they were all busy laughing. He pulled out the dagger and grabbed the closest one to the girls first, slitting his throat while puling him away from the girls. The other two Death Eaters hadn't even noticed yet as Harry pulled his wand while dropping the first Death Eater to the floor. The two laughing Death Eaters stopped abruptly at seeing their friend drop to the floor as a pool of blood gathered around his head. Suddenly a shimmering image appeared before them, it was a black cloaked individual with his wand pointing right at them. This image of Harry, wand at the ready, was the last one they witnessed alive as Harry struck them down with a non-verbal curse.
Harry spun around and faced the two naked girls as he pulled out his trunk again and enlarged it. One of the naked girls went over to one of the downed Death Eaters and took his wand. She then used it to transfigure his cloak into a pullover dress, then she did the same thing for her friend.
"Okay you two, place your hand on the lid here so I can key you in and grant you access." said Harry as both girls did as he requested, once finished Harry briefly explained what was happening and they too entered. After closing the trunk and shrinking it, Harry made his way out and into the stairwell, making his way up the stairs, Harry paused at the top and checked what was on the other side.
What was waiting for Harry on the other side was no less then about fifty Death Eaters and a lot of Black Armored Goblins. Seeing as he had no choice, Harry was about to open the door and take out as many as he could before he was interrupted by Fred.
"Harry mate, this is Fred, come in……Harry come in, this is Fred."
Harry didn't want to get caught in this tiny stairwell hallway, so he made his way back down the stairs and re-entered that same bedroom. After closing the door behind him, he answered Fred.
"This is Harry, what is it Fred?"
"Harry mate, we finally made it to the lowest level and we were right. There are a few cells down here and they are all filled with prisoners including one Remus Lupin!" said Fred
"Unbelievable!! Can you get to them?" replied Harry
"Yeah, there is a few Death Eaters down here, but we have the element of surprise, do you want us to start the extraction or wait for you guys to return?" asked Fred
Harry thought about it for a second before answering. "give me a minute and then go ahead with the plan, throw down the powder and eliminate all the Death Eaters, then start freeing the prisoners. We will meet you guys down there, did you come across much resistance on your way down?" asked Harry
"No, not really…there were a few Death Eaters sleeping and what not in a few of the caves but other then that, you should have a mostly cleared out path." answered Fred
"I figured as much, they look to be having a meeting on the top floor, probably a debriefing after the attack. I'm going to set a few traps to take out a few along the way, and to slow their progress once they realize a rescue mission is being attempted. Good luck mates, rescue my God Father!" said Harry
"Don't worry Harry, we will rescue them, you just get back down here fast." said George
"I will, one minute and then proceed, starting now!" said Harry
Exiting the bedroom, Harry took out several storage crystals specially prepared for this mission, meaning that all the spells stored within, were of the highly dangerous variety. He went back into the hallway and strategically placed several under concealment along the stairwell and all along the third floor hallway. All the storage crystals were triggered to go off upon anyone being within the vicinity.
"Kongack over, Kongack over, come in." said Harry
"Lord Potter-Black, this is Kongack, is it time to attack?"
"Yes it is, I am making my way back down, on my mark I will throw down some powder, activate your glasses, and take out as many Death eaters as you can. I will gather all the hostages and make for the stairwell leading down to the caves. Once I have all of them, follow us back down to meet up with the rest of the team in the lower levels. Wait until I give the command before entering that floor, got it" said Harry
"We understand and will be ready and waiting." declared Kongack
Harry made his way back down, all along the way, he placed several storage crystals all triggered to explode when anyone comes in contact with them. Finally making his way back to that first floor of the house, Harry pulled his pouch of Darkness powder and gave the signal to the Goblins. He slowly re-entered the floor and immediately threw the powder, engulfing the entire floor in complete darkness.
The Death Eaters began to panic when everything went dark. Harry spotted the Goblins entering the floor from the other side as a few Death Eater spells rang out as they shot spells out randomly in their fear. Harry could hear footsteps rumbling from above and he realized he didn't have much time before his traps went off and all hell starts breaking loose.
Harry made a bee line over to where the girls were handcuffed, he could see that they too were scared but they were keeping quiet. As he approached, he touched one of the girls on the shoulder and she let out a small scream before Harry placed his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet.
"Please be quiet, I'm here to rescue you but I need you to remain quiet, my names Harry Potter and I am going to get you girls out of here okay?" said Harry as she nodded that she understood so Harry released his hand over her mouth before continuing.
"Tell the other girls quickly what's going on, after I unchain you, I will lead you to the stair well and towards our exit. I can see through this blackness so I need you all to trust me okay?" asked Harry again and she nodded before turning to the other girls and whispering quickly while Harry got to work by unlocking all the handcuffs.
Once all the girls were freed, Harry led them over to the stairwell and watched them run down the stairs. He then turned just as the Goblins finished off the last of the Death Eaters. Suddenly there was a loud rumbling coming from upstairs followed by a few bangs and explosion sounds. Harry smirked for he knew what that was.
"Come on guys, were out of here." shouted out Harry as the Goblins made for the stairwell and down the stairs. Harry was last and closed the door, placing a few more storage crystals to explode as soon as the door was opened, and he too took off down the stairs.
Upon reaching the lower level, He was ambushed by five very naked girls as they were a little scared of the three huge Goblins that stood before them. Harry realized this and chose to calm them down while they made their way down the corridor.
"Please calm down girls, these Goblins are on our side and will not harm you. I need you to stop grabbing on me, we will move faster that way. Kongack, you two take the lead, the girls in the middle and you and me will guard the rear. Lets Move!" said Harry as Kongack and another Goblin took the lead as Harry and the other Goblin took the rear.
Making their way down, lower and lower meeting no resistance along the way. As they reached the fork in the road, they continued heading down lower.
"Harry come in, over…..this is Ernie over."
"what's up Ernie, this is Harry over."
"We have eliminated all Death Eater presence down here, the rest of the guys are freeing everyone from the cells, we have a few injury's down here. I'm not sure how they will fare during our Portkey exit?"
"I have an idea for that, just get all of the prisoners grouped together, we will be there in a few minutes, over." said Harry
"Gotcha mate, we'll be ready, over" replied Ernie
Harry kept peering backwards expecting some type of resistance but there was none to be found. They finally made it to the lowest level as they entered into total darkness.
"Guys it's Harry, we made it." said Harry as he swiped his glasses, re-activating them as the Goblins did the same.
"Great, what's your plan Harry for getting everyone out of here?" said Lee as motioned towards the small pile of about thirty or so people, some were awake but most were out cold.
"This is my plan, we need to hurry." said Harry as he took out his trunk and enlarged it.
"Bloody Brilliant!!" said Fred and George simultaneously
"Wicked!!" followed Ernie and Lee
Harry, one by one, keyed everyone that was awake into the Trunks wards temporarily, then he continued with the unconscious ones with the help of the guys levitating them over. After all the prisoners, including an unconscious Remus, were all safely tucked away inside Harry's trunk, he shrunk it once more and placed it back in his bracelet.
There was another large explosion as the lower levels shook. Rocks were tumbling down from the roofs and dirt was flying everywhere.
"We need to go….now! Everyone pull your Portkeys." said Harry
Everyone pulled their portkey's and readied themselves.
"On the count of three……one….two…..THREE!" shouted Harry
"MUDBLOOD LOVERS!!" shouted all eight simultaneously and they disappeared just as the door exploded and in poured several Death Eaters along with the Dark Lord himself.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" shouted Lord Voldermort as only he could see through the darkness to the empty cells that laid before him.
"You will pay for this Dumbledore….you will pay!" shouted Voldermort again as he unleashed several wide range crucio's that hit their marks on the unsuspecting Death Eaters that were around him.
Whiplock had twenty guards ready, positioned around where the Portkey's were supposed to deposit Harry and his rescue posse, just in case. When Eight individuals re-materialized before them, Whiplock felt at ease, no casualties.
"Lord Potter, I assume you have succeeded in rescuing your God Father." asked Whiplock
"We have, as well as several other prisoners, mostly young girls. They will all need medical attention as well as probably counseling." said Harry as the Goblins looked around for said hostages.
Harry noticed their questioning looks so he pulled out his trunk again and resized it as Whiplock's medical team ran over towards Harry.
"There in the Trunk, we will bring them out a few at a time, starting with the most severe." said Harry
"We will just go down and help them in the trunk." said one of the medical team personnel as he made to enter the trunk
"Nooo" shouted Harry as he pulled him back and away from the trunk before explaining
"Only those who I grant access to the trunk, may enter. Attempting to enter without my permission would be extremely foolish." declared Harry as Whiplock began to chuckle
"I have told you fellow Goblins several times, never under-estimate Lord Potter-Black, it might be the last thing you ever do." said a smirking Whiplock
Ernie and Lee began to bring out the hostages one at a time as Harry, the Twins, the three Goblins, and Whiplock walked over to his office to discuss the mission and the particulars.
