When the sun was shinning though the curtains Ron knew it was time to get up, he looked to the bed beside him, expecting to see a tired Harry.
'Ahh shit, he's still at the lair.' Ron flamed to the Lair to see Harry and Ginny cuddling asleep. 'Ahh that's so sweet.' Ron smiled.
He pulled his wand out.
'I wouldn't do that,' Harry muttered. 'What time is it?'
'About nine ish, why?'
'oh good, we got lots of time then. I think we will attack the bank at lunch time.' Harry gently shook Ginny awake and gave her a very good wake up call by kissing her softly on the lips.
'ummm morning Mr Potter, sleep well?'
'I did with you next to me my love. Time to get up and plan the Gringotts attack back at your place I think.'
They all flamed back to the Burrow.
Neville awoke to find Luna lying on top of him, both still in their armour.
'Morning babe.' He whispered to the air, not expecting her to hear. He went back to sleep comfortable with her on top.
A minute after Neville had fallen asleep Luna awoke and smiled at the sleeping form under her. Just as she was about to fall asleep again when she felt a warm feeling, so she touched her tattoo and received a call to meet the others. Just walk up the path Harry had thought, since Luna was a close neighbour to the Weasley family.
Luna kissed Neville. 'Common sleepy head, we go to go meet the others.' She gently shook him. That didn't work so the second plan was punching him.
'Oww' she exclaimed, she found out the armour was very hard on the outside. 'Ok last chance Neville before a cold bucket of ice.'
No stirring from the sleepy form so she conjured a bucket and let it spill all over him.
'Ahhggghhhh, what the bleeding heck do you think you're doing woman!' he yelled.
'Waking you up fool, I've been trying for five minutes now. Common, dry off warm up and lets flame to my room.'
'What? Why?' he stammered out.
'well we are meeting the rest and you are visiting me at my place and we decide to go up the path to see the others. Any problems with that?'
'oh no. Best get out of the armour first though, and remember the death eater cloaks and masks for today.'
Neville watched as Luna took off the skirt and found himself suddenly aroused as he saw she wore no knickers under the skirt. Then he watched her pull up the school skirt and her looking at him when she pulled it up.
'Do you always go around with no knickers on?' He asked hesitantly.
'only when I know your around. I'm hoping you would take me one day, all horney and all.' She replied with an innocent air about her, whilst Neville grew more enthralled about this witch.
'well now I know, I just might find myself so aroused I will have to relieve myself at once.' He said as he pulled his trousers down and off to reveal a very hard cock. He jumped at her and chassed her around the room until they both fell onto the bed, Neville claiming her and Luna wrapping her legs around his back wanting him so badly. His hands touching her naked back pulling her towards him.
'Is been twenty minutes now, what can be taking them so long?' Hermione said exasperated.
The other three looked at each other. 'Hermione? Do you really want us to tell you?' Ginny spoke.
'ohh!' was all Hermione could say, while she went slightly red.
Another twenty minutes later they saw the couple walking up the path towards the Burrow. They walked hand in hand and waved when they saw Hermione at the window.
'Ok they are coming.'
Harry bit his tongue stopping the crude slipping from his mouth. Ginny however did not.
'Too late for that, I think they already came.' Ron was having difficulties breathing while he laughed. Hermione slapped her self on the head with her hand and shaked it in resignation.
The two teenagers entered the house and meet the others upstairs.
'how were the guests this morning?' Neville mouthed to Harry to indicate he was who he was. Harry nodded his head.
'So we planning to go to diaganon alley today, even when we don't have the school list yet.' Luna asked.
'Yup. Got to go get some things before we head out to the great unknown.' Harry said to the group with a flourish like it was some great adventure. I think the time we leave here be about eleven get the various things, like trunks, glasses and clothes and books, you know not just for us. Then we have lunch, and just as we finish lunch you lot go to see madame Maulkin for wizard robes and boom the games begin.'
'I'm guessing we previously went into muggle London for the other kids stuff?' Hermione asked.
'Correct. Is everyone happy? Don't kill anyone, seriously injure to give an authentic taste lots of smoke and confusion. We can sell it as death eaters probing the banks defences.' Harry finished.
At eleven the motley crew all went down stairs and said good bye to Mrs Weasley, who was reluctant to let them go.
'Just look after yourselves,' she said as they all stood by the fire place ready to floo away.
The gang went in one by one into the floo and exited at the Leaky Culdron, as usual Harry landed on his bum. Ginny laughed at him.
'You know one day someone will tell me what I'm doing wrong to land on my bum all the time.' He exclaimed in annoyance. They all set off for the muggle world, an hour later they all returned with shopping, books, clothes, Hermione had managed to persuade Harry in getting a computer or two saying they would find out how to work it later. They deposited the shopping back at the lair when some of them were in madame Maulkins getting measured up. Using the relative safety of the changing cubicles to hide their travels.
'Madame Maulkin, is it possible to come back in an hour for this dress, its just that we have urgent business else where at this time.' Ginny spoke calmly.
'Certainly dear.' The seamstress replied.
With that the troupe left the shop and went to grab a snack at a local restaurant just within one of the seedier alleys. They enjoyed their meal and ignored the looks they received from some of the other patrons. When half an hour had passed they rejoined the main shopping street and they went their ways in buying some normal potion ingredients, books and some candy of the twins. Harry went and saw an optometrist.
'Good afternoon sir, how can I help you.' A young wizard asked him.
'er hi, I'm looking for something better than what I currently have. The last time I had my eyes checked was when I was little, and that was at a muggle establishment. I just want to see if I can have anything done with what I have now.'
'Certainly sir, I can give you a full eye check right now, it will only take ten minutes if you have the time to spare sir.'
Harry nodded and ten minutes later was shocked by the outcome.
'Ok, now it seems you have Myopia and looking at these glasses, I'm impressed you can see anything at all.' The optician said.
'Ok, so what can we do about it then?' Harry asked curious to see what magic could do for him this time.
'Well we could go for the contact lense idea, add a few charms on that sort of thing, the other is stick with glasses, again with charms, but more of them as glasses seem to hold the magic better. The last is correcting it either using a laser, or a potion. Trust me the potion is bad.' The specialist smiled.
Harry looked worried, 'Ok, no to laser and no to potion for now. Tell me how quickly can you refine the glass down for my eyes and what charms can you place on them?'
'Ah well it is a two week delay in the waiting for the glass, but the charms are extensive, if I gave you a brochure you could decide what you would wish for. The glass can take six class 'a' charms, four class 'b' or two class 'c'. Now you can mix them up, say one class 'c' one class 'b' and one class 'a'. Or there is two of class 'a' and 'b.' Basically its your choice, its all there in the brochure, when you have made your mind up or have any questions please don't hesitate to come back.' The man tried ushering him out.
'Why are you trying to get rid of me?' Harry asked the man.
'Well I have an important client coming soon. An Auror of well known accolades.' The optometrist said with enthusiasm.
'You don't mean Mad Eye do you?' Harry dared to ask.
'Of course you know him as Mad Eye, I know him as.' The lad flaunted the knowledge except the mood was spoilt as the door banged open.
'Well lad I see you finally chose to sort your eye sight out.' Moody barked out at Harry.
Next Moody turned to the optometrist, 'Well Charles stop gapping like a fish out of open water. Go fetch me the Auror brochure for the lad here.'
'But he's not..' Charles started.
'I didn't ask for questions now do it.' Moody rounded on sales clerk.
'But he could be you know.'
Harry laughed, 'Gay or a death eater? Cos I'm neither.' Harry showed him his arm up to the elbow to prove no marks.
As Charles went away Harry smiled at Alastor and took out the general brochure and put it back on the desk.
'You might want to disappear Alastor unless you want your arse handed to you again.' Harry whispered out the corner of his mouth.
'How dumb down are you gonna act?' Moody asked.
'More powerful than most, but definitely not my best.' Harry said.
The clerk came back in with the brochure. 'So how do you two know each other then?' he asked in mild curiosity. After all someone that Mr Moody remembered was someone to remember himself.
'Ahh well you see,' Harry started then a smile crossed his face. 'I taught him everything he knows.' Then he walked out the door as Alastor just looked at him with gob smacked amassment and started laughing. Charles was at a loss, if anyone had done that to Mr Moody, they would have learned to regret it instantly. This young man was a mystery to be solved by the optometrist.
Outside Harry was walking back to the Leaky Culdron as he saw his friends enter, then the blast came, wiping the shop front out of existence. Glass rained everywhere. A scream went up from someone cut by the falling glass, two more screams sounded as five cloaked shapes emerged from the shop at a run, heading for the bank.
He heard someone cry, 'Death eaters! Were all gonna die!'
Well the Aurors are doing a fantastic job, no sign of them, really. Harry pulled out his wand and started firing hexs at the five figures. One cloaked cretin turned around and soon he was in a dual for his life. Or so it would seem to others. Ginny was throwing as good as she dared to at her boyfriend yet all the spells were very real, just slightly miss aimed and hitting targets that could explode in a spectacle to keep people scared.
Just outside the bank there appeared twenty goblins with axes, swords and other miscellaneous items of pain and death. They charged the death eaters as the five figures were already at the bottom of the steps and slowly advancing forwards as they took wards down and placed others up. The twenty goblins succumbed to misfortune as one flung Purivian darkness out, soon the steps were just a fog of black. That's when the aurors arrived.
'Don't shoot, there are goblins and innocents in that soup.' Harry exclaimed to the sergeant.
'Why should I listen to you, a few goblins for what we may bag, death eater scum. Aim'
'HALT!' Mad Eye barked stomping his way down the street. 'Listen to the kid. He has experience.'
The aurors all started looking at the young man before them as sweet dripped of his face and they surveyed the damage behind him along the street. Some of the aurors visible gulped.
'What can your eye see Alastor?' Harry asked.
'There inside, the goblins are still outside.' Mad Eye responded.
'Harry flicked his wand and a gust of wind started blowing, specifically blowing the powder away from the doors to reveal five of the goblins on the floor, some with major spell damage. Harry ran in pell mell into the entrance hall to see flashes of light down one corridor. He set off after them. Soon he was skidding then allowed himself to slid along the floor as he entered the room with all the spell work happening and he opened up with a blizzard of reductos and stuptify's. Harry saw there was blood on some of the weapons and hopped his friends were ok. But it gave credence to the fact of five dead bodies turn up behind the door. The door the five were at clicked and one of them opened it, they all tumbled in, then locked it after themselves.
The Auror soon made an appearance. 'we will take charge now.' The sergeant said.
'I think not human.' Clawtooth answered him. 'It is our land, not the ministries. As it is we have wounded, you have none so the right is ours. You may stay and watch if you wish but you are NOT to interfere.' He snarled out.
Alastor stomped in at that moment. 'He understands Mister Clawtooth sir.'
The group of goblins from the front came to the room and looked angry, their spell casters and curse breakers and professional people who were used to getting in rooms were working at this door.
'Can I ask what was in that room Mr Clawtooth sir.' Harry asked hoping to show a little fear into his voice when addressing the Goblin.
'The Stone of Truth. We moved it at the outbreak of the war fearing for its safety.' The Goblin answered without looking at him.
Ten minutes later the locks clicked, the professionals all looked at one another and shock their head indicating it wasn't one of them. The fifteen armed goblins charged in voices screaming, spittle flying. They noise ceased and they walked out.
'They are dead Milord. Died of blood loose.' The eldest armed Goblin said to Clawtooth.
'You did well today. We are lucky no one died. But for this act of aggression they have made an enemy of the goblins. Someone find the identity of those things in there.' Clawtooth ordered then walked away.
Harry cried out, 'Ron, Hermione!' he burst out in a run towards Madame Maulkins where he scrambled over the rubble to find signs of life at the back of the shop and brought them all forwards.
Rita Skeeta never one to miss an opertunity heard the shattering of glass outside, she turned to see five figures wearing death eater clothes run out of the demolition work and run to the bank. Then low and behold Harry Potter steps into the light and he starts a furious exchange with one of the witches at the back.
I must get down there before anyone else does. Harry Potter leads the way. Nah that's naff, but wonder what his reaction will be to telling him someone destroyed the Malfoy home.
She grabbed her cloak and notebook and ran down stairs and followed the tail of destruction.
She couldn't gain access to the bank the goblins were keeping everyone out for now. She was waiting for any news unbelievably when she spotted the Hero dash out of the bank and towards the initial site of destruction. When four figures emerged from the smoke and rubble Rita was ecstatic, Ginny was there.
'Ginny, Ginny Weasley, Rita from the Daily Prophet. What happened in your own words?'
'Erm well Hermione, Ron and myself were in the shop obviously looking for some new clothes when everything just went white and clothes, shelves and walls all collapsed. The next thing I know is Harry pulling me out with the aid of a battered Ron.' Ginny lied smoothly, it was easy to show emotion, harder to hide it.
'Mr Potter, can you tell me what happened?' She asked, wondering just if he would answer.
'Well from my point of view was some death eater scum emerged from a wreckage of madame maulkins and made their way to Gingotts unchallenged. So I challenged them and I was bloody terrified for my life. See the damage that I managed to avoid.' Harry indicated a street full of holes and burn marks and charged air.
'Harry how do you feel about the rumours that the Malfoy home has been destroyed?' She asked nonchalantly.
'Its gone? Wow, erm well do we know who did it? I mean was it the death eaters or the ministry?' He asked.
'Erm we don't know, all we know is it's completely destroyed.' She answered now uncertain in herself.
'Ok, that's cool, I mean I don't support vigilantes I believe there must be two sides to this war, the ministry and Voldermorts.' A gasp was heard at is name.'It does mean though someone is taking the right steps. The Malfoys were active members of the dark lords army, so why should their home remain protected when ours are in constant danger. Who ever did this please stop, join the light and fight for freedom of oppression.' Harry finished impassioned.
'Thank you Harry that was most informative, have a good day.' She left quickly as Rufus Scrigmour arrived in the alley and started walking towards the main sight.
'Mr Potter why am I not supposed to see you here.' The minister greeted the small company.
'Is it true sir, Rita just said the Malfoy home was no more. Do we know who did it?' He asked with concern in his voice.
'No we do not, though that is not to say we have some suspicions like some uninvited guests yesterday.' The minister said in reference to the six unidentified figures at the wedding.
'Well Sir I must get on, get home before Mrs Easley finds out about the attack and crucifies me.' Harry said as the gang made their way to the Leaky Caldron.
Rufus turned to Moody, 'Well?'
'You want an honest answer? Very well, the Aurors were slow to respond. Potter was the only one keeping them from obtaining a non violent victory in the alley. As for the goblins they did more than the Aurors and killed them. It seems the death eaters died from blood lose after all the cuts and contusions from the goblin blades. The goblins have not lost anyone of yet and we are unsure of the where about of madame Maulkin.'
'Thank you. What are we paying you currently?' The ministry asked.
'Double that of an Auror, due to my experience.' He replied gruffly.
'Could you go back to teaching the younger ones at Hogwarts? I believe they need a guard or two and I would rather trust you. Take another, a miss Tonk's, she can blend in with the other students readily enough.' The minister asked.
'You heard that boy is going back to school and you think the dark tosser is going to attack the school?' Moody asked bluntly.
'Yes I do. I need people I can rely on killing when killing is needed, understand.'
'Yeah I do. About bloody time we got the release order.' Moody started stomping off, but he turned around after a few steps. 'Who will be leading the Aurors in the field, or even teaching them in the training hall?'
'You're not the only one who survived the last war. I think I survived with more body parts as well.' Rufus stated. Moody nodded and walked away.
