I DO NOT OWN HP
Voldemort screamed in fury. "Parkinson!" he roared, and the DE rushed forward, kneeling before his master.
"Yes milord?" he asked, only to scream in pain as Voldemort hit him with the cruciatus curse.
"How dare you fail me! Potter managed to weed out our influence in the Ministry thanks to your daughter failing to capture Lucius' son!" Voldemort's red eyes glowed in anger as he glanced at the Prophet's article. The headline flashed in big letters "Ministry takes Control!" as it continued to describe how the head of the DMLE, Amelia Bones, took matters into her own hands after Terry Boot and Draco Malfoy convinced the Ministry to start thinking to in ways to win this war. She managed to start up a cleanup of the Ministry, sending many of his minions through the Veil.
"Lucius! How are negotiations with the giants going?" he asked, and Lucius smirked.
"Milord, the Giants have agreed to ally with us." Lucius drawled with a triumphant smirk. Voldemort let out a long high pitched laugh.
"Then let us begin to plan our take over of the Ministry." Voldemort cackled, getting loud cheers from his Death Eaters.

Harry lifted his chin as he adjusted his emerald green tie. He wore a black suit, his wand holster hidden in the sleeve. "Harry? Where are you going?" Luna asked, getting a small smile from the young Headmaster.
"You see, the Wizengamot has called another meeting for some reason and I'm planning on using it to help get even better footage in the Ministry and prevent Voldemort from taking over. Dumbledore got his name cleared, along with Sirius'. Sirius has taken up his proper title of Lord Black, and Dumbledore is still Chief Warlock. Both are going to be helping me."
Daphne smirked and kissed him. "Go, don't be late. And please, be smart about this whole thing." Harry grinned, knowing that she was telling him to use his Slytherin mindset.
"Will do," he said and threw the floo powder into the flames. "Ministry of Magic!"

Dumbledore strode to the center of the Wizengamot chambers, standing behind the podium. He hit the gavel loudly, silencing the murmuring wizards and witches. "May the 34,987th meeting of the Wizengamot begin! Does anyone have any issues to raise?"
Harry rose to his feet, drawing many looks from his fellow Lords. "I would like to motion a vote of no confidence against Minister Cornelius Fudge!"
Amelia Bones looked sharply at Harry as Dumbledore gave a subtle nod of approval to the Potter. "Any seconds?" Dumbledore asked, his sharp blue eyes sweeping across the lords.
"Seconded." Sirius Black stood, a small smirk breaking across his face. Dumbledore hit the gavel.
"Light up your wand if aye."

Neville leveled his wand at the group of Slytherins and a pair of Ravenclaws that sat bound on the floor. Ron flicked his wand at them, and their sleeves tore off to reveal the Dark Mark. "Explain yourselves," Neville whispered, brown eyes narrowing dangerously at the group.

The entire light and neutral factions lit up their wands, with a spattering few of the dark lords lighting up their own wands. Dumbledore hit his gavel, the sound echoing around the chamber.
"Cornelius Fudge, it has been decided,"

"It has been decided, Longbottom! The Dark Lord is already on his way to raid the Ministry!" Michael Corner laughed, only to be hit with a silencing spell from Terry, who glared at him.
"Traitor." he spat and shared a nervous glance with the others. Ron rushed to the nearest fireplace, tossing in floo powder.
"Ministry of Magic!" he yelled and ran through.

"You are hereby no longer Minister for Magic of Wizarding Britain." Dumbledore intoned, drawing a victorious smile from Harry and Sirius. "Continuing, is there anyone who would like to nominate another to be Minister?"
"I nominate Amelia Bones," Sirius said, standing quickly.
"Seconded!" Harry exclaimed, sharing a nod with the last Black.
"Present your case," Dumbledore said.
"Amelia Bones is unbiased, and level headed, especially in times of war, such as these. She has experience in strategy, as well as in politics, making her a perfect candidate to run this country." Sirius said, getting many nods from the lords around them, excluding the dark faction. The rest of the Wizengamot meeting went quickly, and as they all stood to leave, Ron Weasley burst through the doors.
"V-Voldemort is raiding the Ministry!" he bellowed as a massive explosion rocked the building and a few of the dark faction laughed as they disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. There was silence, and then pandemonium as everyone panicked until Dumbledore raised his wand, which released a loud banging sound.
"Silence!" he roared, receiving instant silence.
"Everyone keep calm. We must work together to win! Do not show fear! Stand up, and use the wands that you have been gifted with!" Harry said, his blazing green eyes sweeping across all the faces. "Does anyone know of the situation outside?"
"He brought dementors, and his Death Eaters are wreaking havoc. The aurors are attempting to bring them down, but most of their efforts are futile." Ron reported quickly, as he had been trained to do.
Harry nodded. "Ron, summon the DA and the council. We've trained them all enough for this. Alright, I am doing this now, I cast a vote to let the aurors use lethal force!"
Everyone lit their wands in favor. "Alright, Dumbledore send a patronus to inform those aurors that they have been given permission to use lethal force!" Dumbledore listened without question as a small proud smile played across his lips.
"Everyone! Group up, I want a charms specialist, a tranfiguration specialist, and a defense specialist in each group! You all will choose a leader and fast, and work as a team! Use your talents respectively, and together! Now go!" Harry barked, storming out of the Wizengamot chambers with Ron next to him.
"Bombarda Maxima!" Harry bellowed, jabbing his wand at the ground in the middle of a group of DEs. They all got blown into the wall, three landing with a sickening crunch. Ron stood at his back, slashing his wand through the air to send multiple cutting hexes at the DEs. The floo glowed green as Neville stormed through with the entire DA and council behind him.
"Group A with me!" he bellowed, the DA following him into the fray.
"Group B with me! Find any survivors so far and heal them and keep them stable! Every now and then, you are to send healing spells at your comrades! Go!" Luna snapped, and the group of healers trooped off to help.
"Group C with me!" Justin roared, conjuring a stone ball to block a killing curse from hitting Susan in the back.
Harry grinned as he saw that they were beginning to win. "Keep pushing!" he roared. "Group D, we need you!"
"Group D up front and center!" Susan barked, Terry right next to her as the group cast their patroni at the wave of dementors. Harry sent his own massive glowing patronus, the stag charging at the head dementor, bowling a whole row of them down.
"Potter!" Voldemort hissed as he walked through the battle field. "You dare show your face here?"
"Why of course I do Tommy boy!" Harry replied with a sneer as he slammed his foot into the head of another DE. "It can't be a party without me!"

"Well Cyrus, I must say, it's been years since I've bhad this much battle!" Lord Davis laughed, getting a small chuckle from the Greengrass lord.
"I agree my friend," Cyrus replied as he hit another DE in the head with a reducto.
"And to think, it was all because of Harry!" Arthur Weasley added. While Arthur may be viewed as a blood traitor by many, his skill could not be denied when he gets serious, and the two neutral lords were quite willing to work with him in order to survive. Lord Davis and Greengrass nodded in agreement.

Fred and George stood next to each other, with Angelina and Alicia at their backs. Fred laughingly sent a pranking hex at a DE as George quickly followed up with a cutting curse. The pair switched on and off as they one by one took down more and more DEs.

More aurors stormed from the floo, and Voldemort tsked in annoyance. "I'll be back Potter." he spat, and yelled, "Retreat!" as he apparated away. Harry sighed, and turned back around to face the massive group of people, all battered and bruised with cuts marring their figures. But they all held a smile as they looked at each other and at Harry.
"We did it!" an auror whispered, his comment echoing in the silent chamber. Low chuckles rumbled around until they all realized he was right. They all fought back for once, and not only did it feel good, they actually did it! They, together, managed to drive back Voldemort!
"We actually did it." One of the neutral lords whispered before breaking down in tears and he sobbed in relief. "We did it!" he shouted, getting a series of loud cheers from everyone.

The papers' headlines were screaming about how all it took was everyone standing up for themselves to be able to drive off the Death Eaters, and magical Britain began to see something they haven't felt in a long while. Hope, and finally, some sight into a bright future.
Harry put down his newspaper with a small smile. Hedwig flew in and barked happily as he stroked her feathers softly. "Hey girl, you have a letter for me? Who's it from?" Hedwig merely barked again before flying off, stealing a few pieces of bacon on the way. Harry curiously took the letter into his hands and turned it over to see the Gringotts seal over the letter. He quickly broke the seal and opened the letter within.
"Lord Potter,
We contacted the Unspeakables to help us in our search for those vile horcruxes, and they have provided us with a horcrux tracker while taking one for themselves. They have allowed us to send one to you, as perhaps Riddle might have hidden a few in Hogwarts, due to him spending many of his younger years in the school. We have also have reason to suspect he has made his pet snake one of those vile things. We will continue to further contact you with our discoveries.
Sincerely,
Ragnok, King of the Goblin Nation"
Harry grinned taking the small compass like device in his hand. "Perfect!" he quietly exclaimed, getting a curious look from his Council. "We have been gifted with a horcrux hunting device from the Unspeakables!"
"Give it to Hogwarts as we go to classes, as she can more thoroughly search this place than any of us. Also, don't you have a teachers meeting after breakfast?" Daphne asked, and Harry's eyes widened.
"Oh shit, you're right! I need to grab my papers for that!" he exclaimed and quickly grabbed another slice of toast, spread some jam on, and ran out.
