Sorry for the wait... School is time consuming. Also read the end note for cool news.

Also if anyone would like to do a cover art for this story i would be more than happy to talk about it instead of just finding something to use. P.M me if you want to make something.

ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 3: Laying Down the Law

Harry could only hang his head and sigh in defeat as the whispered conversations and people pointing at him started upon seeing who had just stepped off the unknown muggle contraption that had just landed in the courtyard. Six and Tachanka also jumped off and were slightly unnerved by all the staring they were receiving.

"Is it always like this with you Colonel?" Six asked looking at Sledge.

"I know most people would say you get used to it but you really don't. Some people just don't have anything better to do, especially in the wizarding world." Harry explained before looking to the people who still had wands trained on them. "Come on, if we wanted to fight we wouldn't have landed, plus you told us to be here so can you put the wands down." Harry added.

One of the group lowered their wand and the others soon followed suit once they saw the three weren't a threat. They too had noticed who had returned to Hogwarts and had been shocked originally but had been brought out of it once Harry had spoken to them.

"Harry? Is it really you?" Minerva McGonagall asked seeing the son of her two favourite students. She had been outraged when she had heard the verdict that was levelled against him by the Ministry and had argued with Dumbledore more than once about it but was unable to do anything about it and had been one of the few who had been saddened upon discovering his disappearance.

"Professor, You're one of the few people who I can say honestly say it's nice to see again." Harry said to his former head of house.

"As much as I'm sure you want to talk about the old days and get all teary eyed, these three have places to be." Someone drawled from behind McGonagall and Harry noticed the bat of Slytherin sneering at Harry like he usual did.

"Snivellus, still an insensitive prick who can't let go of a school boy grudge I see… Who are you sleeping with to keep out of prison? I assume Dumbledore." Harry said taking great pleasure in pushing Snape's buttons.

"You insulant brat." Snape said and went to raise his wand only to find himself suddenly on his back with a boot on his chest and a gun barrel in his face. No one had even noticed as Harry had moved and dropped the most hated teacher of Hogwarts and held his rifle inches from his face, finger on the trigger.

"Fair warning Snape, I'm not the person you once knew. You antagonise me and I will put you six feet under. You spent all of my years at Hogwarts bullying me for what my father did to you… payback is a bitch." Harry said as he pushed off of Snape's chest and turned to McGonagall. The crowd around them was silent and in awe as they saw Snape get what he deserved. "Where do we need to go?" Harry asked McGonagall ignoring Snape's glare as he pulled himself to his feet.

"The resistance leadership is meets in the Room of Requirement and is waiting for you there." McGonagall replied and Harry gestured for her to lead on. Harry dropped back to talk with Tachanka and Six as they made their way into the entrance hall.

"This is their last stronghold? They haven't even set up basic defences, no cover and I see no one patrolling hallways." Six commented looking around the hallways as they walked.

"Magical Britain is made up of arrogant fools who rely on wards, most of them feel no need to fortify a building as they assume their wards will never drop. Look at Mute for example, he doesn't have to bring wards down, he can make a small hole in them to allow a team in. I assume that's how you broke into the manor on your mission?" Tachanka commented knowing quite a bit about fortifying. He was usually the one fortifying locations on missions since unlike other operators, once on his turret he can't exactly move.

"How would you fortify this castle Captain?" Six asked curiously.

"Castles are designed to be able to repel sieges so they are quite fortified already, dealing with a magical siege may require a bit more effort though. The first thing I would do is set up patrols, two man squads at minimum for patrolling corridors and the grounds and keeping in constant communication with them. Another idea would be setting up defensive locations at entrances and secret passageways that would prevent an invading force from being able to enter for a decent amount of time than simply setting up chokepoints in various locations to prevent loss of lives on the defenders side and hold off invaders. These are simple things that can prevent loss of life and repel invaders." Tachanka said listing off simple ideas. The fact that they weren't already in place in the middle of a war truly showed the incompetence of the wizarding world.

"It was the same at the safe house we raided… no defences at all. Admittedly there was a small patrol outside in the courtyard and entrance hall but we dropped them easily and we were able to clear the building without an alert going off." Harry said as they stopped to let McGonagall open up the Room of Requirement by walking back and forwards in front of the wall and on her third pass a door appeared and the group walked in. There were already a lot of people in the room talking in groups around a large U shaped table and it only took a short moment before someone noticed the group who just entered.

"Harry!" They heard someone yell and come running over and throw his arms around Harry to which He returned it quite happy.

"Sirius you old dog, how have you been?" Harry asked his godfather as they let go of each other.

"Oh you know, causing mischief any chance i can get." Sirius said with a smile.

"Oh I bet, speaking of old dogs?" Harry said and pulled Remus into a hug having seen him following behind Sirius.

"You look good Harry, so different to the scrawny kid we last saw years ago." Remus commented seeing how different he looked.

"Yeah it's amazing what proper meals each day and proper exercising can do for you. That and wielding a Sledge Hammer as your main breaching weapons gives you some good muscles." Harry said.

"We'll have to talk later as i expect old Fudgy and Dumbledore aren't enjoying the distraction." Sirius said seeing the looks from the two across the room.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's begin." Dumbledore said as he took a seat at the head of the table and other followed suit. Harry seeing everyone was distracted as they were sitting took the opportunity to throw the Black Eye that Valkyrie had given him and it landed in the corner of the room and immediately he could see the blue circle activate around the lens showing the rest of the team were watching.

"So do we sit somewhere or are we just going to stand?" Tachanka asked noticing a lack of seating for them.

"You three are on trial for murder... you don't get to sit." Snape sneered as he sat besides Dumbledore.

"Should we show them the paperwork or let them hang themselves?" Tachanka leaned over and asked Six.

"Let's see what they'll do before swiping their feet out from under them. Colonel, you good to handle this?" Six said and asked Sledge.

"Oh it'll be my pleasure." Harry said with a smirk.

"Before we begin, please identify yourselves." Dumbledore said.

"Colonel Harrison Potter, Leader of Team Rainbow. Captain Alexsandr Senaviev, Second in command for Team Rainbow and Codename Six, Deputy Director of Team Rainbow." Sledge answered shocking a few of the panel as they were unaware that Harry held a rank in the non-magical military.

"Are you aware of the illegal actions you have committed?" Dumbledore asked ignoring the looks of shock around him.

"Illegal actions? Ahh can't say I'm aware of such actions. Perhaps you could inform us of what you consider illegal as we are at a loss to what you are referring to." Harry asked having great trouble to keep the smirk from his face and could see Six covering her mouth to hide her own and knew Alex was smirking under his helmet.

"We're talking about the mass murder you committed at Nott Manor. The murder of all the purebloods who could have been redeemed and shown the light, thanks to the action of yourself and your team they can never return to the light and live their lives to the fullest." Dumbledore cleared up.

"OHHH, I'm sorry i thought you said illegal actions, thank you for clearing that up... yes we did attack Nott manor and we did protect the innocents... all Hostages were rescued and you retrieved them when you came to Hereford Base." Sledge said.

"Ahh yes... thank you for rescuing the hostages but we are here to talk about the innocent purebloods you killed." Dumbledore said.

"What Innocent Purebloods?" Harry said with a straight face and could have sworn he heard a muffled laugh from Tachanka.

"Cut the crap Potter, You know what we're talking about, Stop wasting our time." Snape spoke up from where he was sitting.

"Hey Snivellus, Shut up... can't you see the adults are talking. Or do i need to drop you again?" Harry said turning to Snape and heard a roar of laughter from the two Marauders.

"Again?! You dropped Snape? I want to see that memory." Sirius said after getting his laughing under control. He and Remus had been having trouble holding onto their laughter enjoying Harry mess with Dumbledore.

"We have gotten off track here. Can you please tell us about the night you attacked Nott Manor?" Dumbledore asked trying to get back on track.

"Ahhh... if i must." Harry said with a sigh before beginning his long... long tale of heroism, daring and romance. Harry was about ten minutes into the story before Dumbledore had to stop him because Sirius, Remus and Tachanka were laughing too loudly.

"Gentlemen can you please quiet down, we are trying to listen to this recount." Dumbledore said only making them laugh louder.

"You do realise he's bullshitting you... right? He said he got through the wards by hitting it with a banana." Sirius said between laughs while Remus was hitting the table. Dumbledore did not look impressed before turning back to Harry.

"Is this true Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course that story was bullshit, you order us here to try us for actions that was sanctioned by both the British and the American Governments. You don't even have a government. All of you are hiding in a castle completely ignoring the problem. You idiots did nothing while that pathetic excuse of a man you call a dark lord was gathering followers and making his plans... either time he was on his rise to power. You specifically buried your head in the sand and refused to believe a word anyone said on the matter." Harry said angrily having lost his patience and pointed at Fudge.

"We will not be spoken to like this Potter." Fudge said red with rage at being spoken to as such.

"Shut up Fudge. My entire time in the Wizarding world I have tried to speak only to be ignored. Things have changed... i will speak and you will listen, is that understood?" Harry asked none to politely.

"Now see her..." Fudge began but was cut off.

"I said is that understood and the only answer I'm looking for is Yes Colonel Potter." Harry said in a commanding tone that made everyone say it immediately, even Snape who looked mortified that he did.

"Good. Captain Senaviev, hand out the paperwork." Harry said looking to his second in command.

"Yes sir." Tachanka said with a quick salute before walking along the table placing a couple sheets of paper in front of each member. The three Rainbow operatives gave them a chance to quickly look it over.

"What is this Harry?" Dumbledore asked not understanding what was in front of him. Tachanka held out one sheet of paper that Harry took and began to read.

"From The Desk of Her Majesty. The Counter Terrorism Team codenamed Rainbow is given full power to operate within the realm of Magical Britain. This letter allows them to operate to how they see fit to return The Magical Realm to a state of stability and are free from any and all laws set forth by The Magical Realm. Any and all attempts to impede Team Rainbow from their set duties will be seen as an attempt to aid the so called Dark Lord Voldemort and will be deemed and act of treason and will be punished accordingly . Signed Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith." He read out before handing the letter back to Tachanka and looked at the stunned wizards.

"And that means what exactly?" Asked Amelia Bones hoping to fully understand the situation and hoping for a clarification not just for herself but the other who she was positive didn't understand a word of what was said.

"What that means is what is happening right now is considered an act of treason as you are pulling The Deputy Director, Team Leader and Deputy Team Leader from other duties that could be beneficially in ending this war that none of you seem inclined to end. Furthermore when it comes to dealing with Death Eaters and any sympathisers we are allowed to do what is necessary ranging from capture and torture for information to assassination of known Death Eaters." Harry said and let the certain purebloods in the room yell in outrage. He let them yell for a while before raising his pistol and firing a single round to quiet the room down. "There will be no discussion on this matter. Anything you wish to add Six?" Harry said turning to The Deputy Director who took a step forward.

"Despite how things have been in the past you have allowed this disease to spread and allowed corruption to grow in your government... that ends very soon. I have been in contact with Her Majesty and she plans to take more of an interest in Magical Britain so your days of self governing have ended. Now you have exactly two days to gather all information you have gathered on Death Eater activities, plans, Safe houses and known members which will be turned over to us. Failure to do so and i will send a team to tear apart this castle gathering all information you hold. Finally this is a warning to all of you... our orders are not to eliminate the Death Eaters, it is to stabilise Magical Britain. That means if necessary we will bring down The Order of The Phoenix and the remains of the Ministry of Magic. You have been warned and we will not hesitate to place you under arrest." Six said as she turned to leave the room with Tachanka and Sledge behind her.

Dumbledore was in his office watching the military helicopter disappear into the distance as he was deep in thought. That meeting had not gone at all to plan, it was his hope to gain control of Harry and get him back under his thumb. His plans had suffered greatly since Harry's disappearing act. If only that fool Fudge had not ruled the boy guilty all those years ago, that was the point that his plans went all askew. He knew all these years that the boy would be drawn out of hiding and back to England but this had to be the worst possible scenario. He was not only independent, he was highly trained, very smart and would not be so easily led as he was before, not to mention the men and women under his command. From his brief interaction with them showed they were incredible loyal to each other and would be more than willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their teammates if the need arose.

"Well that went worse than you thought it would. That brat has only gotten more arrogant over time." Snape sneered thinking of the meeting they just left.

"Indeed, Harry has gotten too independent and it is not in our best interests for him to remain like this. For this war to end and for Voldemort to die, Harry will need to die. There is absolutely no chance he will in this case." Dumbledore said as he left the window, walked down the stairs and sat behind his desk.

"Do you honestly believe you will be able to influence him anymore Dumbledore? He's a grown man and while i hate to admit it we have no authority in his life. We can't threaten him in any capacity because he won't flinch at the threat of Azkaban or taking his magic because he knows that we dont have the means to hold him and according to the boy, he hasn't used magic in years. We have nothing to hold against him." Fudge said angrily.

"And the Prophecy says he is the only one who can defeat the Dark Lord." Snape said. Thanks to Harry disappearing from the country, Voldemort had to go and retrieve the Prophecy himself and while the Order of The Phoenix tried to fight him off he managed to retrieve it and everyone heard it. The Death Eaters and the Order were fighting in the Atrium when the Minister, Aurors and Reporters showed up. In all the confusion the Prophecy played and everyone heard the whole thing. It wasn't even an hour later that the Prophet had reported the events and the entire Wizarding world was demanding for the Minister to find the so called 'Chosen One'

"You get that boy to return here... he can't be allowed to remain out of our sight." Fudge said as he placed his signature bowler hat on his head and made for the door.

"Not to worry Minister, i'll come up with something." Dumbledore said as Fudge left the room. "I actually might have an idea, what does Tom know so far about them?" Dumbledore asked Snape.

"Not much, all he knows is someone or a group of people attacked Nott Manor and stopped and attack in Muggle London. He was furious when he was told. Three of the new recruits were killed and about dozen more were put under the Cruciatus for extended periods of time." Snape replied shivering as he remember the fury The Dark Lord displayed when being told he had lost very valuable prisoners and many of his people in an attack that should have succeeded.

"Perhaps you should mention who was responsible and tell them where they could be found. That should inspire him to attack the base and hopefully remove Harry's allies. Then with no one left to turn to he will come back to us." Dumbledore said.

"Should i have some potions ready?" Snape asked.

"Yes, same as before. Loyalty, Magic Dampening the usual. Not sure how he burned through the Loyalty potion last time. He must have truly hated me to have gotten it out of his system." Dumbledore pondered. Snape nodded and silently left the room leaving Dumbledore to his thoughts. How had things gotten so out of control? Events had been going perfectly, the boy had no idea about anything and was so malleable at the time but after that disaster of a trial everything went askew. He still remembered the day he had arrived at Grimmauld Place and had learned that Harry had disappeared. He immediately tried to track him down but he neverexpected him to sign up with the muggle Military. It was perhaps the worst thing he could have done… he would have preferred if he travelled the world or other such activities but he learned independence in the military and that ruined his plans beyond all recognition.

"I have to succeed, I'm the only one who can lead the Magical World back to Prosperity but I need the boy to die so I can defeat Voldemort." Dumbledore said to himself and vowed to not let his plans fail… No Matter the Costs.

Severus Snape appeared on the well-kept lawns of Malfoy Manor in the signature black robes and silver mask all Death Eaters wear. He made his way up the main pathway to the main door and knocked on it before waiting to be let inside by one of the guards. He only had to wait a few minutes before he was let in by the Guard.

"Snape, what are you doing here? We weren't aware you were coming.' The Guard said suspiciously.

"I come across some information that the Dark Lord will need to know as soon as possible." Snape said pushing past the junior guard. He walked down the hallways and knocked on the door to the Dark Lord's study.

"Enter." He heard from within and pushed the door open and walked up to the desk. "Severus? Why are you here when I haven't called you? You should still be stationed at Hogwarts." Voldemort said showing his displeasure.

"Pardon me My Lord but I have come across some information that I thought you should know as soon as possible." Snape said bowing.

"Very Well… if this information is worth you risking your position in the castle you won't be punished but should I find it lacking…" Voldemort said letting the threat hang.

"Of course my lord… it is about the ones responsible for the attack on Nott Manor as well as the failed attack in the muggle street." Snape said and watched as a range of emotions played out on the Dark Lord face ranging from surprise to anger.

"Go to the throne room and await my arrival, I need to call the rest of the inner circle to hear this information before we formulate a plan to strike back at those who have earned my wrath." Voldemort said as he stood from his desk. Snape bowed low before leaving the room and made his way to the throne room. He was only waiting a few minutes before the inner circle started entering the room and only five minutes before The Dark Lord entered. No one spoke as he crossed the room and sat upon his throne and looked out over his most loyal.

"I have called you all here today as Severus has some information for us. He has learnt who was responsible for the loss of Nott Manor and the failed attack and I find myself wondering how only one of you has discovered this… I expected that more of you would have unearthed this information and I find myself displeased." Voldemort said to his Inner Circle who shifted uncomfortable as they thought they would be tortured for their failure. "Never the less, we now have this information so we will be hearing it and formulating a retaliation as we need to show the magical world that those who stand up to us are punished for their transgression. Severus, you may proceed." Voldemort said and gestured for Snape to step forwards.

"Thank you my lord. I have discovered that a group of both muggles and magicals were responsible." Snape said and had to stop as the inner circle were yelling in outrage.

"Muggles... how could those filthy creatures dare defy the Dark Lord's power. And how could wizards and witches sully themselves by working with them." Bellatrix said being the most vocal among the crowd.

"ENOUGH!" Voldemort commanded and the entire room fell silent in a second. "Severus, please continue." Voldemort said to-which Snape nodded before continuing.

"The group are apparently Military Men and Women from multiple nationalities ranging from British, Russian, American and more. They are apparently highly trained and ready to fight to the death. The most important thing to note is their leader." Snape said readying himself for the Cruciatus to hit him as he knew it would be coming after divulging this bit of information.

"And who is their leader Severus." Lucius said curiously. Snape sighed before answering.

"Harry Potter." Snape said and immediately cried out as all of his nerves exploding in pain.

"What do you mean... Harry Potter?" Voldemort said quietly and dangerously unaware that Potter was responsible.

"It seems the brat signed up for the Muggle military and was offered a spot in the special forces team. Apparently he didn't even want to return here, he only came back as he was ordered too." Snape said trying to fight down the pain. Voldemort stood in anger and began pacing as he thought, the Death Eaters not daring to speak in case their lord turn his ire on them.

"Do you know where this group of muggles are?" Voldemort asked.

"We know they are located at Hereford. It is a Muggle Military base." Snape said.

"Ready my Death Eaters, attack and destroy the base. Leave no one alive. Show them the consequences of going against Lord Voldemort." Voldemort said as he stalked out of the room in a rage. The Death Eaters waited a few moments for their Lord to be a few corridors away before they left themselves as they didn't want to become targets for his anger.
