Dark Order

Chapter Three

Disclaimer: Haven't done this in a while but nope I own nothing save Haroun and Karma hope you enjoy chapter three. This chapter has been very rough to write my muse has not been speaking to me lately and when it did the material was uncomfortably dark. Because my take on just how evil Death eaters are because please if someone will murder chances are they will do other things as well if you do not like the material in this chapter that's okay I hated writing it but that's what the muse gave me and god willing I will never write scenes like it again.

Shacklebolt and Masterson both surveyed the damage. Masterson sighed sadly "So many senseless deaths," the aged Auror said seeing the bodies of adult and child a like all burnt or in some cases in parts. While those were bad it was those that survived that would be maimed if they did what they normally would. It was then Harry perked up.

He looked around and saw the destruction "How many ?"

"About 600 dead maybe several hundred injured" Shack said in a hollow voice.

"Who?" Harry asked coldly "I know who sanctioned trying to kill me, That is a no brain-er. I want to know who caused the collateral damage and who was leading the team."

Shacklebolt looked uncomfortable "Snape was leading team he cast charms on your house to make sure it would not burn. Draco Malfoy caused the explosion and resulting destruction of privet drive and part of Wisteria walk."

"What will happen to him?" Harry asked

"5 years in Azkaban" was all the black Auror said.

"Not nearly enough; since we know he came here to kill me , lets give him a shot." Harry said in a quiet but intense voice.

At this point Masterson knew what the young man was thinking "Lord Black there are things worse than death you can do young Mr. malfoy perhaps if you wait a bit we can explain them to you."

Draco had been elated to have been chosen for a mission and was grateful that he had not been asked to try and kill Dumbledore everything had gone smoothly until he saw his godfather cast an impervious charm on St. Potters house. It was then he realized that his godfather was a traitor to the cause and Draco chose to circumvent him 'I will tell the dark lord of this when he frees me' he looked up and saw his nemesis surrounded by Aurors "Well if it isn't St. Potter. Did you like our little bonfire?"

Harry's ears perked up when he heard Draco speak "As Lord Black what exactly am I allowed to do to Malfoy for his trespasses against me?"

Shacklebolt smiled and in a bright voice "As he is a Black by blood you could cast him from the rolls of the family. Optionally you can annul his parents marriage reclaiming any dowry Lucius might have received with interest. The whats are limitless but the results will be spectacular no matter which way you go."

Masterson nodded as Draco paled "I am next in line to be lord black. There is no way a Half-blood bastard like you could ever be lord black."

"Ah but that's where you are wrong Draco Harry has three ancestors that are black by birth where it is reported you only have one and that one is a cadet line where two of the three that lord Blackhas are from an older senior line.." Shack said trying to gauge the young death eaters state of mind and was not disappointed when malfoy lost his temper and lunged at Harry.

For his part Harry was sort of shocked "Get him out of here before I do something stupid to his uppity arse."

"Potter I challenge you to a wizard's duel" Draco exclaimed "Accept or be found craven amongst your peers"

Shack and Masterson were about to intervene to prevent the set up they thought Malfoy was trying to do when Harry spoke "For five years I have put up with your petty desire to be my rival. You have heaped abuse on my friends not to mention annoyed the hell out of me. But this takes the cake." Harry snorted "Draco never in any world will you be thought of as my peer. I will grant you your duel anything goes. Aurors could you please officiate this honor duel for the house of Black."

Masterson nodded his agreement looking Shacklebolt who also nodded but then whispered to Harry "Do not play with him Harry, he means to kill you" Harry nodded in understanding

Shacklebolt released Malfoy from his bonds and handed him his wand "You will understand if I don't wish you luck Mr Malfoy."

Masterson smiled and spoke "Even if you win you are a dead man Malfoy. There is not enough money to buy your way out of this."

"When the Dark Lord takes power he will reward me for my actions" Draco sneered at them as he took his dueling stance "Whenever you are ready Potter"

Harry looked to Shacklebolt and nodded "Make yourselves ready" Harry saw Draco tense and could see the murder in his eyes. Harry knew he should feel rage all he felt was sadness at the waste of Draco Malfoy's life finally Shacklebolt cried "Lay on"

"Ava.." was all Draco got out before Harry suddenly appeared in front of Draco. Palming his wand to the side and poking his throat with his wand Draco's eyes grew large and his face paled.

A thousand thoughts ran through Harry's head and heard whispers of Voldemort psyche urging him to kill the young ponce instead he threw his left foot into the groin of Draco Malfoy who immediately shrieked like a little girl before collapsing in a fit of vomiting

Moments passed with Draco vomiting so violently that soon he had the dry heaves it was as he was gathering himself together again that Shacklebolt approached him "Harry, not to push your or anything we need to move you a safe house and not the Grim old place either. I sent a patronus messenger to Amelia and her husband. We will likely move you through several safe houses before we set you up somewhere permanent."

Harry nodded mutely before turning to Draco He said in steady tone of voice "Draco Malfoy though you have blood of the black in you. You are no kin to me and I cast you from the rolls of the family. As punishment for your crimes against the people who were unjustly killed I hereby dissolve the marriage of Lucius malfoy and Narcissa Black. If you Ever cross my path Draco I will destroy you." allowing Kingsley to side along apparate him to the safe house a moment before Ministry obliviators and other on duty personnel appeared on the wrecked street.

Albus was walking back up to his office wondering how he could derail the audit and placate the Ravenclaw heiress. When he felt the wards around Privet Drive shred violently causing him to pitch over his head swirling in pain with backlash washing over him with a wave of nausea 'Only three things could account for this Harry has become the head of house, He is dead,or he declared it was never his home. none of the reasons filled Albus with warm feelings. Picking himself up he hurried into his office not noticing the absence of his familiar he grabbed the portkey to Arabella Figgs house tapped it with his wand and was away.

When the the portkey deposited him on Mrs. Figgs lawn Albus was taken aback by the scene of destruction that surrounded him. The air was acrid, the smell of charred flesh carried on a wind blowing from the west the sounds of dying carried on it like a morbid tune one he had not heard since... 'the final days of world war II and' when his head began to ache and he had to stop his breath ragged he knelt trying to compose himself when he heard the voice of Hestia Jones.

"Albus are you Okay?" She asked concern lacing her voice "Albus..." She trailed off seeing him come around.

"I am sorry Hestia, it has been 40 + years since I have seen this level of destruction" The old man said feeling a bit melancholy "whats the situation look like?"

"A death eater raid gone seriously wrong" The lady Auror said "We believe the target house #4 privet drive however someone cast an impervious charm which protected the house unfortunately Draco Malfoy then took it upon himself to blow a gas main with the incendio. Hopkirk was in a snit until she saw the bodies of ten death eaters and the destruction left behind in the wake of the explosions."

"Any signs of Mr. Potter?" Albus asked saddened by the fact the boy had to kill in such a manner 'where did that thought come from?' When his head started hurting again.

"There are no signs of Harry or the guards who were on duty" She said honestly " We believe Shacklebolt there were signs of Apparition with Tonks, Shacks and Moony's signatures. Tonks and Moony leaving 15 minutes before and Shacks leaving 5 minutes after it is possible Shack took Mr Potter to either an Auror safe-house or to the ministry itself."

"Indeed" Masterson spoke "Yes, He is with Auror Shacklebolt at one of my teams safe houses undergoing medical attention for his injuries."

"He should have taken him Sirius house" Albus spat out in irritation "At least there we can protect him." 'that place is a hole' a light feminine voice spoke in his head "Did you hear that?" Albus said looking to the left and then right causing Hestia to look around.

"Hear what Albus?" Hestia asked confused by the headmasters question.

"I thought I heard something over there. Since there is little I can do here and the ministry seems to be out in force. I will return to Hogwarts."

He turned on his heel and vanished with a pop.

Hestia looked at Masterson "Do I even want know?"

The hit wizard just shook his head and popped off to meet Shacklebolt.

Voldemort the most powerful Dark Lord in three centuries was angry. Not only had his death eaters failed to acquire the prophecy. He himself had failed to kill Potter and had been wounded in the attempt. Though only Severus Snape knew as he had prepared the potions to heal the Dark Lord.

No he sat on his throne with a slight frown marring his snake like visage he motioned to pettigrew and said "Arm"

Wormtail scuttled forward holding his arm out with trepidation as Voldemort grasped his arm digging his wand deep into the mark that marred his servants arm summoning those he knew could answer. A moment later Bellatrix, Mcnair, Avery and Mulciber Apparated in dressed in full regalia of of a death eater. As one they knelt "In light of recent events. The Potter boy is not to be touched we will not move against him." Bellatrix who was still put out that the twerp had tried to use her curse on her person looked ready to mutiny when Voldemort raised his hand "Directly, I however want you to capture, torture and eventually either turn or kill his little helpers" although he didn't think any of them would turn it would be fun to watch his followers work.

He looked Bellatrix " Bella you and Mcnair will take the Weasely family Ronald and Ginevra must live the rest I do not care." he looked on as she nodded with an insane smile on her lips. "Avery You will Capture Neville Longbottom, Mulciber will bring me Luna Lovegood. Peter my fine furry friend you will have the grand Honor of breaking Potters mudblood after she is broken arrange for her corpse to be displayed prominently in Diagon alley. You all have your assignments gather your teams. You have three hours go now."

At Hogwarts things began to settle down Albus was just turning in wondering where Harry was and how soon could he get him back under his thumb. Allegra smiled as she lay in her new chamber The rest of the staff breathed a little easier seeing Albus taken to task for his shenanigans.

Harry and Shacklebolt appeared in the middle of a field Shack dug a piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to Harry it said ~Baroness Tonks lives at the lone tree on the moors~

after he read the not he looked up and a formidable watchtower shimmered into existence "God I love magic."

They just started walking up the to the court yard when another werewolf patronus appeared giving them instructions in an unfamiliar voice to go to a new location. Shack sighed "I wish they would make up their mind"

Harry smiled at the bald man's suffering "Story of my life Mr. Shacklebolt" he said with a soft chuckle "where are we going now?"

Shacklebolt looked on Harry with new eyes he could see the grief weighing down on him but he did not see a petulant child he saw a young man who was dealing with what life had thrown at him "My boss, Madame Bones wants me to take you to a place not even Voldemort would dare attack she wants me to take you to the left hand of Shiva."

"The left hand of who?" Harry said with some confusion

"A man who is on par magically with both Voldemort and Dumbledore" Shack spoke quietly "The man is a legend among the hit wizards. He always gets his man … for a price."

"Oh! So what are we waiting for?" Harry asked impatiently "It would not do well for the guy who has to kill Voldemort to be caught out in the open untrained now would it."

"What is that supposed to mean Harry" confusion covered the older mans face and then a pop emanated from behind them and Harry was already spinning wand draw and a curse on his lips until he saw it was the Masterson. Both older men shared a look as Shacklebolt relayed what Bones wanted and Masterson chuckled before waving them off He Apparated away.

Harry remained silent as Shack sent his patronus with a message to Madam Bones. Then Shacklebolt turned to Harry "No man is an island Harry if you need or want to talk there are those who will listen."

Harry nodded as he reached out grabbing the portkey that was offered with a pull behind his navel he was whisked away.

The adults were in the kitchen gathered around Karma's prep table talking when Shacklebolt's Patronus came ambling through "Sending Harry by Portkey then moving to the office out til tomorrow."

And then Harry appeared in the kitchen in a crouch wand drawn as if expecting trouble and that trouble came in the form of Padma slamming open the doors "Got the letters..." was all she got out before Harry dropped her with a his stunner.

Madam Bones dropped her monocle, Haroun, Tonks and Moody were nodding approvingly and Karma was vexed on one hand Padma had no way of knowing Harry would be there and Harry had just been portkeyed somewhere he had no known support. Remus chuckled "I guess I was wrong he put down Miss Patil. Well done Son of Prongs."

Harry for his part took a look around the room noting that he knew all but two people in the room " I guess I overreacted a bit hopefully Parvati or Padma whichever twin it is will not hold a grudge. Enervate."

Padma came to with Harry Potter looking very concerned and she wondered why "What Harry do I have something on my nose."

Harry laughed a little "No I just stunned you and you don't seem to mad about it."

Padma looked over his shoulder to her grandfather who nodded "Maybe I should be miffed but truthfully even on my best day I do not believe I could best you if you were having your worst." Padma smiled "unfortunately I could not lord it over you that you knocked me out without thinking about it. Parvati on the other hand could and would most likely."

Harry blushed and offered his hand to the petite Indian girl "i am sorry I just had the roof of my house collapse on me because of a summoning charm, the neighborhood around my house destroyed and pretty close to 1200 people were killed all in one go because Draco Malfoy had an axe to grind with me . I have been Apparated and now portkeyed to places where as far as I know death-eaters could have been lying in wait, I am not sorry I stunned you . Be thankful it was not a reductor curse."

For moment Padma was speechless but then she went white hot with outrage and a crack was heard in the kitchen "Now see here Harry, We found out tonight that someone close to you wants to remove all outside influences around you so that they are the only ones you will trust. Rather than turn a blind eye to it I convinced my grandfather to not do as this person asked him to." Padma huffed " Mr. Moody and Baroness Tonks and Mr. Lupin were slated to be killed, Ron,Ginny, Luna, Neville and Hermione are slated to be kidnapped. But instead of finding out why you were brought here you would rather whinge about what a rough night you have had. Hmmph" walking out the kitchen the way she came in Leaving Harry gaping in her wake.

Remus laughed again "Just now you really reminded me of your father when dealing with your mom."

Harry looked sheepish "I guess I deserved that bit a prat I was."

Madam Bones surveyed the young man 'he is far to thin and his eyes look so haunted' "Harry we brought you here in order to save your and by extension your friends lives." 'not to mention saving our world as well.' she thought to herself.

Karma took her measure of the boy who was the grandson of one of her long buried friends. She also looked around the room and knew that while time was short Harry was ready to crack and any other info would be lost on him and she came to a decision held up a hand and a old photo album zoomed into her hand and she gave a long look at everyone but Remus that said leave. She slowly walked to the island in the middle of the kitchen "Harry could you do me a courtesy and come to the island and pull up a stool?"

Remus took a spot across the island from them.

Karma motioned Harry to the Photo album " Gerald and Christine Evans were good people we met them shortly after Haroun and I immigrated from India. Haroun had taken leave from the temple he because he was given a task that he could not morally accept. If you ask him he might tell you. Your grand parents were still very young all of 15 years old but very much in love" She smiled and opened the photo album that showed numerous Pictures of a red haired man and raven haired beauty "When the blitz destroyed the house we lived in It was Gerald and Christine who took us in for a year we stayed with them. She confided in me that they were going to try to start a family." she paused looked at Remus who himself was rapt by the story. "for five years after the war your grandma tried to have children only to miscarry time and again it was devastating to watch finally I could take no more and I broke the statute of secrecy helping your grandmother have her first child in 1948 Her first born was a son Roger Evans who may still be alive he is currently in India where he tries to help the poor."

"I have another Uncle" Harry was shocked "Does he not know about me or what happened to my mother."

"No Harry, let me continue and you may understand." Harry nodded and she continued on "in 1955 she had her second child your aunt petunia. And finally in in 1960 your mother was born and I new right away she would be a force to be reckoned with and I told your grandmother that she was a special girl."

"So my uncle was 12 almost 13 when my mother was born" Karma nodded. "I need to meet him before school starts. How could Dumbledore not know."

Remus coughed "Because as I understand it Albus never knew of him He was in the regiment out of the country by the time lily was 7 and even before that he was away at boarding school. He loved both his sisters and spoiled them rotten. However when the queen called he went and was stationed for a time in Hong Kong before finally ending up in New Delhi as an attache to the ambassador there. Where he met his first wife Nadjia together they had two children both girls. He would have been here for Lily's wedding but Nadjia fell gravely ill and died the day before he was supposed to leave. By the time he was emotionally well enough to travel Your parents were in hiding so he stayed where he was to the best of our estimates he has remarried and has not returned home because he assumes your mother is in hiding still."

Harry looked at the photo album seeing pictures of his mother and her siblings. He cried tears of joy, pain, and anger.

Until he felt a soft hand on his shoulder and voice he new was one of the twins "Its okay Harry let it out the longer you hold it in the more in will consume you."

"Miss Patil this was supposed to be a private discussion" Remus said with a tears in his eyes

Padma looked at her grandmother and former professor "Sometimes you have to break the rules if you want to help someone. Harry helped us last year so this is my way of paying him back."

Harry relaxed into her hands as she hugged him not used tot he feeling of being supported by anyone else he had an odd thought 'she smells good' "Please ma'am I need to meet him soon can we make it happen. Now more than ever I need family."

Karma smiled "yes I think we can"

Amelia after leaving the kitchen looked at Moody and Tonks "Alastor I want you to go to the Weasely's get them to an Alpha safe house for a few days, Tonks I want you to proceed to the Grangers." She paused a moment and cast a patronus off to Shacklebolt then continued "I will head to the Longbottom estate via my house first to retrieve Susan. We will rendezvous here in three hours time."

She turned and disparated the others following suit.

Bellatrix waited impatiently with her team for the head of the Weasely Clan to get home from work while she could have eliminated the family one by one she enjoyed the fear she knew her actions would cause she was about to give in to her urges When Arthur appeared at the ward line.

The Weasely Family was just settling in for a late dinner, Molly was grudgingly happy Bill and Charlies were home. However Bill had brought home Fleur and though she was a nice enough girl she was still a foreigner.

Arthur for his part didn't notice anything out of place called out as he entered the house "Hello Weasely's" he was met by a a chorus of Hi Dad from his children and a formal greeting from Fleur.

"How was your day Dad?" Bill asked while pulling a chair out for Fleur.

For his part Arthur was thrilled that Bill had brought a young woman home. "It was good however it is even better to be home and see all of you" He was about to say more when he felt the wards on the house shudder. "Children quickly Floo to the leaky Cauldron" as he drew his wand Both charlie, Bill, the twins and Fleur doing the same."

Molly threw a pinch of floo powder calling out the the cauldrons name only for her hopes to be dashed. When the floo didn't work "Arthur we are trapped..."

Charlie looked out and saw Bellatrix and a half a dozen death-eaters arrayed in an arc facing the Burrow. "Its That Lestrange bitch and six others that I can see"

Arthur looked grimly at his two youngest "They are likely here for you."

Ron's face fell a little he knew regardless of what he wanted tonight someone close to him was likely to die. Ginny looked defiant she was not going down without a fight and asked "What are we going to do?"

Ron shook his head "Stand and fight I reckon."

Arthur nodded gravely "Regardless of what happens , your mother and I love you very much." he then turned to Bill and Charlie "Get Ron and Ginny out the back, Fred and George as soon as we do what we are about to do apparate out."

Fred and George looked at their parents "What are you going to do?" They said in unison

"Well the death eaters want to get in we are going to let them in but they won't like the result." Arthur said with an almost feral smile Bill looked worried

"Dad, You're not gonna cascade the wards yourselves?" their eldest son asked and when his father nodded he had to conceal a shudder that ran through his father. "You realize what will happen to you and mother should you do this."

Arthur looked Bill in the eye and for the first time Bill was frightened by what he saw. "Bill this day has been a long time coming if they were just coming for me I would just send you away and fight but we both know they are coming for your brother and sister." Arthur surveyed his family "Bill you are the heir apparent take this key to work and you will learn what your responsibilities entail."

Molly sniffed "I am so proud of all of you. I am sorry if I was overbearing. After I lost my brothers..."

Ron interrupted his mother, his own tears nearly blinding him as he realized what was going to happen "We Know mum and we love you for it." he said as he embraced his mum.

Mcnair had taken his group of four and circled wide around the back of the burrow and sent his crew to eliminate the ward stone while he stood off a goodly distance. He saw Bellatrix send up the signal and gave the nod however Neither he nor Bellatrix counted on what happened next. The wards Flared an eerie silver color for a moment and the then turned bright white exploding out . Six of the ten death-eaters were dead in seconds a keening cry that was the death knell of the Arthur and Molly Weasely ,wafted on a wind that had come up out of nowhere leaving Mcnair alone and Bellatrix with two of her own.

Mcnair still blinded by the intense light never saw the bludgeoner that hit him in the face killing him. Charlie and Ginny ran off to the north while Bill, Fleur and Ron ran to the east. Bellatrix having been surveying the land beyond the wards was not blinded "You two go after the girl I will handle the Veela and the elder ginger. Remember capture not kill there will be plenty of time for that later." as she turned she Apparated 500 feet to the east appearing just in front a surprised Bill Weasely " Ah Love where do you think you are going" With a flash of her wand she had a whip around Bill's Neck pulling him off balance

Only to catch a well placed Fireball in the face, Turning to address the newest threat "Oh the bird wants to play does she" she said with a giggle tapping her wand on her thigh "Yes play we shall Sectumsepra" she cried out and the cutter flashed crossing the distance only to collide with the back of Ron Weasely. Silence filled the night as Bellatrix realized what she had done and the punishment she would receive she turned to sprint away only to run straight into the fist of Bill Weasely. She came up spitting teeth and cursing having dropper wand she went for her back up only to hear the familiar voice call out

"Accio wands" and the steady clip of of Mad eye's wooden leg "Weasely, Delacour get young Ronald to these coordinates there is a healer there who knows the counter to the curse she cast" he said as he handed them a paper. "Go now we can talk later go now."

They nodded and with a pop they were gone.

"What now Moody" Bellatrix spat out "Come to take me back to azkaban, You know it won't hold me . He will come for me."

"No Bellatrix Lestrange I am not taking you in. For the death Sirius Black, the torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom there is but one punishment" Without a second thought Alastor moody did the world a favor and put down a rabid bitch "Aveda Kadavra"

Ginny and Charlie were running as they ran Charlie spotted a figure and through a powerful bludgeoner and was not dismayed as the mans face became a fine red mist. He stopped grabbed Ginny and was beginning to apparate when pain seared his side and the blackness swallowed him.

Ginny was angry her parents were gone she had no idea what was happening to the others her blood boiled to fight yet she let charlie pull her along. Then suddenly they stopped charlie grasped her to him and felt like she was being pulled through a tube then she felt herself being ripped away from her brother as blackness overcame her as well.

The two pursuing death eaters looked at each other one said to the other "the brother will likely die"

the other replied "Yes, too bad that red head waif got away though could have had some real fun with her." they both laughed as they Apparated away.

Mulciber arrived at the Rookery only to find it Dark so he went in turn to the office of the quibbler which it too was dark so he returned to the rookery and waited for three hours only for no one to return home he did the next best thing dispatched half his team to destroy the quibbler while he and two others set about destroying the Rookery.

Avery gathered a small team of four and Apparated to edge of the Longbottom estate and proceed to dismantle the wards unfortunately he did not take the time to see who was at the house.

Algernon Croaker was visiting his younger sister Augusta Longbottom and by extension his great nephew Neville. They had just finished dinner and were in the recreation room playing billiards

"Neville my boy, how did you like your visit to our department" Algernon asked wanting to get a more accurate reason as to why Harry Potter,his nephew, and their friends went to the ministry in the first place. Judging from the looks on his nephews face and his body language he could tell Neville was disturbed by the trip "Come now lad you are not in any trouble I just want to know why you went."

Neville who had been looking at his feet "Harry's received a vision courtesy of v..v..v.V..Voldemort" He stuttered out "His godfather Sirius Black was being tortured by Voldemort" He said with more confidence " We didn't know if it was real or not and we tried getting outside confirmation however we had no support at Hogwarts. Then we acted on the information as we knew it. It turned out to be a ruse to get Harry into the department of mysteries in the hall of prophecies to get a prophecy concerning the two of them I guess."

Croaker nodded admiring his nephews bravery "The two houses Potter and Longbottom had been allies for more than eight centuries, you did right by standing with young Harry" He then frowned as he felt the wards tingle.

Neville looked at his great uncle "Whats wrong uncle?" he asked somewhat nervously and was about to speak again when Augusta walked into the room.

"We are about to have unwelcome guests." Augusta said hoping this night would not see the end of her families.

Algernon smiled "Not to worry sister dear we are quite well protected here."

Avery and his crew moved toward the manor house when they felt rather than saw new wards flair to life around them and Grey hooded unspeakable s The fight was over before it even began as the unspeakable s executed the four death eaters. Stunning Avery before he could even cast a spell.

Neville looked thoughtful as he saw the spell fire out on the lawn "If they came for me they will come for the others as well. We are all in danger and Hermione is the only one of us to have no real defense ." he cried out as he ran to the floo.

Amelia Bones walked onto the Longbottom property as the cleanup was occurring seeing Algernon and and Augusta were discussing the events "Algernon you should have told me you upgraded the wards!"

"Now now sister Dear I was going to just as soon as we were finished unfortunately the Death-eaters arrived before we were done. Ah Amelia good of you to come we have a prisoner for you to question before we execute him."

Amelia smiled "well I think I can" she was interrupted when Neville burst back into the room

"The burrow is gone, so is the rookery and there is no way to reach Hermione or Harry."

Amelia cleared her throat and shot the young man a look that would have quelled any out burst but the young man fixed his 'aunty' a defiant look that said 'yes aunty'.

"We were made aware that there was going to be a kidnapping attempt by a third party the death-eaters must have caught wind and tried to preempt the attempt." Amelia her irritation showing as three different patronus appeared in the room declaring that the rookery and the quibbler had been destroyed, The Burrow had been all but leveled, Molly and Arthur were dead, Bill, Fleur and Ronald were routed to Hogwarts Charlie and Ginny were missing. And that there were complications at the Grangers residence of a delicate nature.

Amelia came to a conclusion "We need to place Neville and the others in protective custody."

Croaker looked at her speculatively "you do know your Auror force is is riddled with death eater sympathizers as is the ministry on the whole."

Amelia smiled "oh I know thankfully none of them made it to strike team alpha and we are using an outside contractor on this one."

"Who?" Croaker asked now genuinely curious

"Al-Mensir"

Croaker raised and eye brow "Well I will give that they will be well protected but why him his line of work is shall we say in opposition to your own is it not."

Amelia smiled once again "Let us just say that he was a friend of Mr. Potters Maternal grandparents and leave it at that."

Neville broke into the conversation "well that's all well and good but my mates are in danger so can we move this along.

The adults all laughed "Neville could you floo my home and ask Susan to come through she will be going with us."

Neville nodded and went back to the floo.

Peter had been industrious having already found Hermione Grangers parents business address in the muggle phone book and had Hitched a ride home with them and they didn't even notice him disillusioned in the back of their SUV.

"Honey I think we need to talk with Hermione" Sylvie Granger said to her husband who in turn nodded his assent.

"She is hiding something and I think it might have something to do Harry." Robert Granger responded with some exasperation tinging his voice "She was so very pale and weak when she returned from school."

Wormtail was shocked he was certain she would have told her parents everything he waited until they pulled up to the house and the car was in park and he stunned both of them from behind taking a few hairs from Mr. Granger he put them in a potion and downed the foul tasting potion in one go. 'The dark lord had been very thankful for the potion it made setting people up so much easier. Now it would help break the last Potter' Peter thought as he slowly became Mr. Granger he then enervated his wife "Imperio" he incanted and watched with grim satisfaction as her eyes glazed over. "Now dear I before we go in the house we are going to do a few things. I want you perform oral sex on me and you will swallow me to the root." he grinned maliciously taking into account the length and girth afforded by his transformation.

Sylvie nodded her head and proceeded to unzip his pants and began running her tongue up and down his length swirling her tongue around the tip she noisily slurped her way down until she hit the point of her gag reflex and she started back up only to have "Robert" force his head into her throat. Peter for his part was in heaven he had heard from others tales what it was like to use a woman under imperious and from where he sat now they downplayed the experience or they had no taste for the act at all. He felt the head of his member lodge in her throat and since it was his first time he could not stop his reaction which was to flood her mouth a prodigious amount of semen found its way into her stomach. "Now dear clean yourself up we must have a discussion with our daughter." Peter said quietly while groping Mrs. Granger 'god I need to do this more often.' "When we get inside call Hermione down to the kitchen then you are to go into the bathroom and slit your wrists from wrist to elbow." in the excitement of his sexual rush Wormtail forgot to re-stun Mr. Granger whom he was going to frame for what was to come.

Hermione was in her room looking over the material for the coming year wondering if Harry was okay but was broken form her revery by her mothers voice "Hermione could you please come down to the kitchen we want to talk to you" she knew beyond the shadow of a doubt she could not hide this from her parents anymore. She slowly trudged down the stairs Saying hi to her mother as she passed her and barely noted the bathroom door closing. Not knowing it would be the last time she ever saw her mother. She stepped into the kitchen her eyes downcast she never saw the blow that caused her to lose consciousness. When she awoke She found her self spread eagle bound to the kitchen table naked looking into the eyes of her father who himself was naked and had eyes filled with lust and the only thing she could think 'The death-eaters got her and mom.'

Peter could see the fear in her eyes and decided to play with her a bit he walked mechanically with euphoric expression on his face and calmly mounted her feeling her struggle against her bonds he slipped the head of his member in her feeling how tight she was he groaned and forced his way through her maidenhead. Peter was secretly enjoying every moment of what he was doing.

For Hermione it was a season in hell her insides burned with pain that she thought she would never have felt and from her own father. She began muttering "No Daddy, Please daddy fight it.. no please stop" her pleadings only spurred Wormtail to abuse her harder until at last the pain became so bad that she finally blacked out. Peter noted that she had lost consciousness again so he took the time to reposition her bent over the table so he could finish the job and totally break Harry Potters best friend.

In the garage Robert Granger slowly came to consciousness and stumbled out of the car only to hear a pop behind him he reached for the closest thing to him which happened to be a hand held soil aerator he spun only to meet the concerned gaze of a pink haired Auror his daughter had called Tonks. "Tonks?" he queried

"Mr. Granger are you okay why are you looking like you want to spike me with that aerator?"

"Someone got the drop on me I just woke up, Sylvie and Hermione..." his face got pale as the thoughts crossed his mind he dropped the tool went to a drawer that had an electronic combination lock in his work bench quickly punched in the code and pulled out the wickedest looking fighting knife and .44 caliber hand gun slotted an 8 round clip and went into the house Tonks trailing behind him sent out a request for tactical assistance via patronus. As they proceeded into the house.

Hermione came to thinking it had all been a bad dream when she felt a warm hand on her bare bottom "Hermione you have been a naughty little girl did you know that?" Not waiting for an answer he continued "Do you know what happens to bad little girls?" he asked as he leaned down until his breath tickled the back of her neck "They get punished by the Dark lord!" he whispered as he sank into her bare backside slowly enjoying the lithe girls screams and thrashing.

His enjoyment however was cut short as Robert Granger Captain S.A.S Retired saw what was happening to his only child and put three round into the guy who looked like him one in each shoulder and and one base of his pelvis the last thing Peter felt was not heaven but the a bullet fracturing his pelvis causing him to penetrate Hermione violently her scream brought Roger back to the present as he pulled the clone of him off his daughter. "Hermione" he said softly as he removed the last of her bonds. Hermione rather than turning to her father fled to the wall farthest away from seeing Tonks set her mind somewhat at ease "Tonks"she sobbed "Keep him away from me " she cried bitterly.

Logically, Robert understood his daughters reaction, emotionally he was destroyed. He turned to Tonks "Could you take her to a healer I need to find my wife" He then went through the house like he had gone through houses in Northern Ireland and when he looked in the master bath he found the love of his life dead by her own hand. He sat for a long moment before breaking down and crying for everything he lost.

Tonks walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder "Sir Reinforcements have arrived and moving your daughter and you to a more secure location."

Robert raised his head looked slowly around the place he once called home and all he could see were the times with his wife. "Who sanctioned this? Dumbledore? The Dark Lord, Hermione told us about last year? Who?"

"Dumbledore may be a lot of things someone who condones rape is not one of them." Tonks said a her face a little green "My guess is the Dark Lord was trying to hurt Harry Potter. You all were collateral damage I am afraid. We will take you and your daughter and hide you. At least that's what I was coming here to do."

Robert looked up "Since this happened because of my daughters association with Mr. Potter. I would like to speak with young man as it seems like he more than anyone has done more to protect my daughter and I would like to share some of my training with him.

A healer stepped into the bathroom "Mr. Granger, Auror Tonks I had to give Hermione a calming fraught and a dreamless sleep dose we are now ready to portkey out of here." Then she took in the state of the late Mrs. Granger "If you would like sir we will see to your wife's body is cared for with the utmost respect"

Roger Granger looked at his feet then looked skyward and said a prayer. And walked out to his sleeping daughter. Tonks followed him handing him a portkey as he held Hermione. And with a pull behind the naval they were gone the rest of the response team was gone shortly after with Sylvie Grangers body.

As Karma finished her story the first of the Harry's friends arrived Parvati was there when Neville and Susan arrived with her aunt and his grandmother and great uncle. Wisely she kept silent and then an unconscious Hermione and her father along Tonks and the others showed up.

Harry came out and saw everyone who arrived when a man with a turban entered the room and gave an update. " Luna and Xeno Lovegood are currently en route from Sweden their home and place of business have been destroyed, Charlie Weasely has been found and brought to St Mungos injured I am sorry to say that Ronald Weasely lost his life to Bellatrix Lestrange saving His older brothers fiance from a lethal dark cutting curse. Molly an Arthur Weasely were killed by cascading ward failure when they blunted the assault on the Burrow. Ginny Weasely is currently missing we have people looking around Ottery St. Catchpole." He paused and looked at Mr. Granger who nodded "Mrs Sylvie Granger was put under imperious and used savagely before being commanded to kill herself. Hermione Granger assaulted sexually twice by a this man" he showed a picture of peter pettigrew "who was under the influence of polyjuice potion. Thew man is now deceased thanks to the efforts of Mr. Robert

Granger." the man fell silent.

Karma turned to the girls present "Could you ladies see to Hermione's needs over the next few days."

Moody looked at Robert Granger and was about to speak when Harry walked up to him "Mr Granger I am sorry to meet you under these circumstances, I am Harry Potter and Hermione is like a sister to me her loss is mine and I am sorry you got pulled into this but I swear magic as witness the man who set this in motion will pay."

Robert smiled a nasty smile " I think you and I will get along just fine Mr. Potter."

Harry then went off to the other side of the foyer and looking out a window tried to hold his tears back until finally they over came him.

"hey Mate Don't cry because I am gone" he heard the voice as a spectral form of Ron Weasely appeared "It was my time. It was an honor to defend bill and Fleur. But that's not why I am here mate. You cannot blame yourself for this any of it this was all done at Voldemort behest blame him . Train and avenge us." Ron looked around the room everyone having stopped and looked at him as the remaining Weasely's portkeyed tears and worry lining their face. "Mate find Ginny and be there for Hermione I think this may be the straw that breaks her and she will need her best friend. I ask you to this in my stead and let her know that in spite of the time I spend aggravating her that I do and will always care for her." he turned and faded out of sight.

Karma immediately took command "everyone will be shown to a room we can meet tomorrow and discuss this days events. "Padma show Harry to the apprentices room as of now his education at Hogwarts is more than likely over."

with that everyone was shown to a room.

Harry and Padma came to room that had a simple bed, a desk and a bookshelf.

"Padma, I want to thank you for earlier you said what I needed to here as opposed to what I wanted to hear."

Padma smiled "Your welcome Harry. Have a good night I will see you in the morning" she said giving him a hug and she left the room.

Harry's last thoughts before falling into a troubled sleep 'where is Ginny, and Padme is really nice.
