Zure 3

Hogwarts and Glory

Ralph lie in his bed fiddling with his blankets. He knew the gravity that failure in his next mission could bring for the Brotherhood ,if Potter decided to use the elder wand, No. He would not fail. He could not fail. The destruction of one of the fabled Deathly Hallows and the bloodiest one at that. It had to be destroyed. Machene did not want it because its loyalty was biased towards only the strongest. The Brotherhood demanded more loyalty than that. Machene was a messiah to the Brotherhood. The messiah would not wield such a wand.

When he was finally ready to leave, Ralph walked to Allisons room. He saw her with an enchanted map of Hogwarts. She was trying to determine the location of the Elder Wand. "Allison, How are we gonna find it? The campus of Hogwarts is massive and easily spans at least fifteen miles." Ralph said. " Simple Noob, we are gonna ask politely and if that does not work we improvise." Allison said holding a bottle of what looked to be a clear liquid. " Commander Jentztch. We have located the target specimen. The Half Giant may be hard to subdue are you sure that he is a viable specimen for extracting the vital information?" said the BSC" I have worked hard to gain this guys trust. Tell our forces to retreat for a period of two hours. Begin Dummy Negotiations with the Aurors. Me and Ralph will sneak in and intarragate the half giant. If we are going to torture him you can at least tell me his name , I mean you did put me in the Hand of Atlantis, I think I deserve more information." Said Ralph feeling uneasy about torture as a method to extract information. " Relax Noob, its only a potion. It will keep him from attacking us while keeping him awake long enough to get what we want. And if you must know his name is Rubeus Hagrid. I have been to Hogsmeade and have gained his trust before this war has started." Said Allison with a smile. "You are gonna get to do a lot of fun stuff in the Hand of Atlantis. Stuff that other members of the Brotherhood only dream of doing. " Said Allison with a smile on her face. Ralph could not believe the cunning that Allison had. He made yet another mental note not to get on her bad side.

The Two walked towards a Chrono portal. They walked through it and suddenly they were in Hogsmeade. The air smelled of fire and ash. There was also a feeling of a calm before the storm of battle resumed. " Come on Hes close by noob!" wispered Allison. The came accross their target. The Half Giant Hagrid was a poor sight indeed. He had a bloody nose and gashes on his arms. He also had his hair burned clean off on the left side of his head. " Hagrid! What happened to you?" Said Allison. " Allison what are yer doing here?, its those damn Zure folk! A dozen of them ambushed me while I was trying to get back to me hut!" Oh my god! You look horrible I think I can help, lets go back to your hut I know some magic that can help heal you a bit." Said Allison with a look of genuine looking but as ,Ralph knew it, false sympathy for the hurt half giant. " I have some tea in me hut its most likely cold now I reckon, but whats a visit by you without some tea?" Said Hagrid. " Oh this is my friend Ralph. Can he join us?" Asked Allison with a look that seemed to show more of that fake sweetness. " I dont see why not, theres plenty of tea to go around! Oh and its nice to meet you Ralph!" Said Hagrid. The Trio went to the hut. Compared to the Temple Roswell this school was a travesty but then again the battle had taken its toll on the castle. Ralph thought. He would love to see it when it was repaired. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was said to be one of the wonders of the magical world. Ralph decided to quit daydreaming and focus on the task at hand. "Watch and learn noob!" Said Allison through the mind link. They entered the modest hut. Inside was a fireplace, a bed and a few windows. There were no pictures and even if there were Allison had used a spell to lock them into their frames covertly just before they entered. " Let me pour the tea you are not well, and a good man like you should rest after what you have been through." Allison moved towards the tea pot and poured a vial of the clear liquid into the half giants cup. She brought them their tea. " Ralph go and alert the castle to Hagrids condition. He needs their help right away." Ralph knew what was going to happen before it did. Suddenly Hagrid froze, unable to move."What is happening , ALLISON HELP!" said the now paralysed Hagrid who seemed to only have his face able to move. " Hagrid I havent been entirely honest with you, I am a member of the Brotherhood of Zure, ,the same potion that has paralysed you is also going to force you to reveal something to me! Now where is the Elder wand?" Hagrid tried to resist opening his mouth but could not and suddenly blurted out "DUMBLEDORES GRAVE! DONT YOU DARE DEFILE-" Suddenly Allison shouted " STUPEFY!"Hagrid was out cold. " Come on noob! We got what we wanted, you still got that secret weapon Machene gave you?" "Yes, but I dont know why you had to stun him." Said Ralph panting. He was truely sure he did not want to get on Allisons bad side now. He took one last look at the unconsious half giant before leaving the hut. The Two ran towards the white tomb and Ralph entered the sequence to activate the Quarentine Device. Suddenly a female computerised voice started eminating from the Quarentine Device. "WARNING QUARENTINE DEVICE DEPLOYED, MASSIVE LOSS OF LIFE WILL RESULT. YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO EVACUATE THE AREA!" Said the quarentine device. "Lets go noob I have seen all I want to see of this place!" Said Allison. Ralph raised his wand and said " Chronestra!" Suddenly a Chrono portal opened and the two walked through it as the quarrintine device detonated turning Dumbledores Grave into nothing more than ash and debris. The two were suddenly back in the Temple Roswell. Ralph could tell by the look on Allisons face that she did not like the side of her that had emerged during the interagation.

Ralph was astonished by the sheer power that Allison had exerted. But he wondered what she had against the school of Hogwarts. It seemed to be a personal matter but the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to know. In a few days his existance on this planet had became more complicated than he could imagine. " Noob, I am sorry you had to see that part of me." Said the voice of Allison. " I hated that we had to hurt that man so, but this is a war and if he had known our allegiance was with Zure than he would have done similar to us." She said softly as if she were a mouse. " I was wondering, not that its any of my business, what exactly is your problem with Hogwarts?" Ralph blurted out uncontrollably. " Its... nothing nothing at all Ralph! " Said Allison with a smile on her face.

Ralph however knew this was not true but he dared not press the matter till the oppertune time.
