Disclaimer: Must we go through this every time?
Recap: "When does this assault take place?" Ron asked.
"Tonight." Came the answer.
Chapter 9
Like promised the Marine Recon sniper teams were in place and watching for the signal. With a little magic and a stunning charm the occupants of Honeydukes were taken out of the fight.
"Fight you die, do as we say and live." Ginny said.
"Who are you?" The owner asked.
"What are you going to do? Will you fight? Or do as I say?" She asked again.
"Please don't kill us." He pleaded.
"Good now go up to your room and stay there until eleven tomorrow morning. Do you two understand?" She asked them, and they could only nod. "Good. Now everyone else to that tunnel."
"Who were they?" He asked.
"Don't know."
Ginny carefully moved down the tunnel. During this time she began to have flash backs of her seventh year when she would sneak out of the school every time she thought about Harry, and would have a drink at the Hogs Head. Now three years later she found herself and forty commandos entering the school, while Harry and an additional one hundred and sixty were entering the school from the docks that were hidden in the great lake. Moving down the tunnel she was suddenly stopped.
"Ma'am we need to stop for five minutes." He said.
"Why?"
"We are ahead of the target meeting time by eight minutes." He replied.
"The five minutes?"
"A little time to lay a trap for the enemy."
"Do it." She ordered.
The soldiers started to put several charges of C4 explosives and a claymore mine on the floor, walls, and ceiling.
"That's over kill if you ask me." Ginny stated.
"No ma'am the mine will take out any or all enemy infiltrators and the plastic explosives will collapse the tunnel. Trust me. I do this for a living. Besides I like big booms." He said with a wide grin.
"More like blow it to hell, Johnson. Now move it." Another said.
"Take several of those charges off the wall and put a trip wire with a grenade attached to the end. That will take a few and still take out the tunnel and not the school." Ginny ordered.
"Yes ma'am I'll be a few minutes." He said moving out.
The group arrived at the rally point with little problems.
Meanwhile Harry and his group ran into a slightly larger problem a locked door.
"Blow it off."
"Sir this is a stealth mission, the explosion would awaken everyone in the school including those knights."
"Ginny, the doors to the halls are locked send a team to unlock them." Harry said.
"All-right Harry I'm sending four."
"Good." He replied. "Two minutes behind we must work quickly. To make the schedule. You know your jobs."

"That was fast. Drop the wands or die!" Harry ordered bringing his Heckler & Koch MP5SD to his shoulder. The students did the sensible and drop their wands.
"You're with the king's army are you not?" One asked.
"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?" Harry answered.
"Well. My dad is a soldier for the king. He told me that you were coming here and asked that I do my best to let you in. Well my friends and I were leaving to do our parts in this. Please let us help." The young man begged.
"Tell me how much has the school changed, since the death of Albus Dumbledore." Harry asked.
"Since Headmaster Serverus Snape took over the school has gone down hill. But you must know that the Dark Lord has sent the upperclassmen a present." The boy said.
"What is this present?" Harry asked.
"Several muggle teenage girls. They were just brought in." One of the boys said.
"How many of the upperclassmen are taking part in this, this thing?" One of the soldiers asked.
"Twenty to twenty-five of them. I remember one of the girls screaming her brother will come for her." The leader answered.
"What did she look like?" the soldier asked.
"Blond, blue eyes, about five six and possible weighed one-hundred and twenty pounds. Here I drew what she looked liked." The boy said handing over the sketch.
"That's my sister! Were did they take her!"
"Dungeons near the old Slytherin common room." Came the quick reply.
The soldier ran from the room with some speed, with several men with him.
"Ginny code four, this is now a free form mission. Your objectives are to capture and contain. Put any who fight down for good."
"Code four got that."
"You heard me split up into groups of four and do your jobs. This is seriously turning into a FUBAR mission.
Twenty soldiers neared the room where the party was taking place, from here they could hear the screams and crying of many of the young females.
"Flash bang the room, kill the males." The soldier who was enraged. Lining up along the side, the wall near the door they man in back placed his hand on the man in front of him signaling that he was ready. This process was repeated down the line. The man in front pushed the door open slightly and lobbed a Flash bang grenade into the room. When the device went off, they rushed the room, the enemy never knew what hit them.
"Clear." Came the call from all over the small room.
"I got a door here." One called out
The group opened the door to find a broom closet with three young men inside it.
"Hands up and come out!" The lead man barked out. The three boys did as ordered.
"On your knees." They boys did as ordered. "Stupify."
"Bind and gag them. Then take them to the dungeons." The lead man said.
"Sir, Ma'am twenty three dead three captured all hostages are accounted for. Continuing the search down here." He reported.
"Good were almost done up here. Just a few more minutes and we'll be done." Harry said.
"That fast?"
"The school is asleep so it's going quick now get to work soldier!"
"Well you heard the man get to work."
Outside
The soldiers that were to take up their ambush positions.
"I want fire superior, so put the fifty CALABAR in front mortars in the back behind the line. Dig your foxholes." John ordered. At this point all of the soldiers training took over and they did as ordered some even put cover over their holes. While this was going on, the young leader had a bad feeling that something was going to go wrong, shifting the weight of the carbine that hung from his shoulder. He watched the sun break the horizon and knew that it wouldn't be long before this war would close.
"John. Snape wasn't in the school. According to the students he left for some type of meeting." Harry said.
"That is unfortunate but the school is ours. How many were killed?" He didn't want any of the students killed.
"Unfortunately twenty-three were killed. They engaged the troops who went down to the dungeons to free some hostages. The hostages are in good shape." Harry said.
"That's good to hear, now there will be radio silence until the attacks start." John ordered.
At seven in the morning the attack on the school began. The ones who were to breach the wards did as ordered and made it to the castle without a problem, but the outpost did nothing.
"MY LORD THE ATTACK ON DIAGON ALLEY WAS A SUCCESS. BUT I FEAR WE MAY HAVE STARTED SOMETHING. WHEN THE GUARD AND RECRUITMENT POST WENT UP THE CITIZENS STARTED TO FIGHT THOSE STILL ALIVE AND STANDING. THE CITIZENS HAVE REVOLTED!" Actavious said.
"Harry, Ginny Diagon Alley has erupted into a revolution. Get there quickly. You take half and secure that school. The rest with me!" John ordered. The only thing on the young kings mind was how did this come to pass. Why know and why in Diagon Alley? But one thing was clear the citizens were willing to fight back, and know the dark lord has a revolution, and him to deal with.
