Chapter 16 - American and England Branches United.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
The door to room 17 had been thrown open and a frantic Rhia threw herself into Draco's arms. Tim slid past and grabbed ahold of Kylie who was beyond fuming mad. He hugged her close , her face burried into the curve of his neck and he spoke calming words into her hair.
" Draco, thank god your here. All of you. I'm scared Draco, the babies. " She began to sob.
" Don't worry Riha, we are sending you and Kylie back to our place to stay with Harry's parents , Mother , Severus , Andromeda and Dobby. We have to keep you and the babies safe. "
" I want those bastards dead Draco I'm not going anywhere. They could of killed us , and the babies. " Kylie shot back towards the other 2.
" No Kylie you need to stay with Riha and keep her calm and safe. She can't get stressed out, the babies. We will take care of it." He sent her a look pleading her to do as he asks.
" Fine, but only because she is my sister and carrying my first and only neice and nephew. " She hugged closer to Tim. " I want them to pay, I want them to know they are not to fuck with my family, or the place where they live. " She told her husband making sure the others heard every word and felt just how furious she was.
" Ron please take the girls to the house and head back we will wait downstairs for you. We need to talk to Leona. " Harry asked of his best mate.
" No problem Harry. Come on Riha , Kylie. " He grabbed ahold of both woman. Holding them both tight to his side with the portkey now tied around his neck. Both girls placed their hands on it firmly making sure it was pressed against Ron's body. All three disappeard in a stormy whirl.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Downstairs Leona was awaiting for them in the lounge. She had assembled her own small team in the meanwhile. They were all dressed in a subtle tone of gold. Easily identifiable so there would be no mistaking them in this battle.
" Thank you all for coming. " She spoke calmly. " I have gathered the same color of clothing for each of you, that way we know who each of you are and that you are with us. It will be no mistake who is apart of our team. The three we are after are dressed in Black Robes with hoods covering their faces. Two are very tall , probably males. The other one is shorter. Probably female. She seems to be the one leading them. We are not sure why they are here or what they want but they have made a terrible mistake by coming here and doing what they are. Already 3 innocent people have been killed 1 of them being a child. I will not stand for it. After you all change we are heading out. "
" Harry, Hermione and I are able to heal if anyone gets injured. I have also brought potions that I will pass out. They are simple pain relieving potions incase you need to use it to conintue on. I also have other potions with me to aide if anything were to happen. I know these 3 wizards or witches are death eaters or followers of Voldemort. He has been killed. They are trying to keep the war and endless fighting going. They won't stop until we stop them." Draco looked around the room trying to take in all the faces he did not know.
" Is everyone ready then? Leona asked the group. "
Everyone nodded. " Ok here goes nothing. " She strode to the front doors of her Inn, with the flick of her hand the doors flung open and the small group of about 15 stepped out in gold and headed down the street further into town. They branched out into five groups of 3 and headed in different directions. Leona strolled down the center of the street making sure her senses were on full alert. She could feel dark magic in the air and it only made her temper flare even more. Her power rivaled that of Dumbledore and Voldemort and used for only good. She despised the Dark Arts having lost someone close to her because of it.
Just as they reached Wyatt Nole's bookstore a stunning hex hit the person to her right. She whirled around and with one hand revived her friend and with the other she shot a body binding curse at the attacker hitting them square in the chest. His tall figured hit the ground and before anyone else could move she was standing over the top of him. She bound him tighter and banished him to her Inn in a locked room.
Up around the corner Harry , Draco and Tim found another who had a young couple in their early twenties pressed against the wall. His hands were wrapped around their throats and their wands were scattered to the ground next to them. Harry silently summoned the wands while Draco crept up and stuck his wand into the back of the death eater. He dropped the 2 he was choking. Tim and Harry went to entervate them and make sure they were ok and sent to the Inn for healing. Draco dropped the unknown death eater to the ground with a swift blow to his back and kicked him over. Wand pointing directly at his heart.
" Who the hell are you and what the fuck are you doing here. This is not their figtht it is ours. " Draco was fumming.
The death eather laughed manically. It was almost scary, the sound. Reminded him of his aunt Bella and her husband Rodolphus. He stiffened slightly and kicked him again. " I asked you a question you stupid git now tell me who the hell you are and what the hell you want. " His wand was now digging into the man's neck.
" Why Draco. I never figured you would be here defending these low life witch and wizards, but then again you yourself are a worthless coward who is shagging the fucking Potter boy. How sick. " The mans voice was still sickly sounding to his ears and he knew exactly who it was. He ripped the hood of the cloak from the mans face.
" Well Rabastian I didn't figure you for one to be someone elses bitch either. It's all to clear to me now who you are here with. Where is the bitch anyhow? I know she's here. She never could get over the fact that I would never love her. I'm sure after the blow from Blaise, she just couldn't handle it? I guess you could never please her " Draco smirked down at Rabastian Lestrange. " You were always Voldemorts bitch as well. " He kicked Rabastian in the stomach again.
Tim shot him with a stinging hex every few seconds causing the nutt to be uncomfortable but not using an unforgiveable on him which he was just about to do if he didn't get any answers soon.
" Look here you vile piece of shit. I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but if you don't tell us what we want to know I will crucio your ass until you meet Voldemort in hell where I'm sure you won't have a problem taking your role back up as his personal bitch boy. " Tim was coming unglued.
Rabastian laughed again. This time Tim pounced and knocked the shit out of him. He was bleeding, cuts and bruises were appearing quickly and Draco had to pull Tim off of him. " Tim don't kill him yet. " Draco spoke with rough gasps of air.
" I'm telling this one last time. Tell us what we want to know or I will crucio you. " Tim's eyes were starting to glow with furious anger and he kicked him in the side sending a sharp pain through Rabastian's body.
" I don't know where she is. We split up. If Blaise is anywhere around she is probably looking for him. She knew Riha lived somewhere near here and her plan was to get her to get to Draco. If not get to Blaise through her as well seeing as she could never sink her claws into Neville. " Rabastian was now singing like a canary. " She wants to try and take over communities here. She says that the American Wizarding world is clueless and weak. I think she is trying to become the next Dark Mistress. Some are taking her seriously. Macnair's son Phyllup is with us. "
" I bet Bella and Rodolphus would be so proud of you selling out your very own. " Draco kicked him again. Tim gave him a quick kick to the face sending blood pouring from his nose.
Harry bound Rabastian with a double spell and wrenched him to his feet. They were leading him back towards the Inn when they ran into Leona.
" He sang like a canary. We are taking him back to the Inn to lock him away until we find Pansy Parkinson. She is with Phyllup Macnair. Son of Walden Macnair , one of Voldemort's inner circle. Ruthless bastard. " Harry reported to her.
" No need to go all the way back, I can banish him there until we are ready to head back. I assume that is the one I have already banished there. If he could aim half straight he may of hit me and not Harlin who was to the right of me. I guess we are to hunt down this Parkinson woman next. She will pay for this. " Leona banished Rabastian to the Inn.
" Well from what Rabastian has said. She is trying to rise as the next Dark Mistress. I guess she is heart broken. She thinks by starting here with a few followers she can soon take over the Brittish communities. She thinks they are weak here and clueless. Little does the bitch know. " Harry said to Leona.
" Yes Harry, always a big misunderstanding with simple minded people. To bad it will only get her killed. The other American Order members are trying to reassure the community that everything is under control. "
" We need to go, If she finds Neville or Blaise. Things could get pretty bad." Draco turned and headed up the street in the direction Leona was heading when they ran into her. They crept around the small town for half an hour. Just as they had headed towards a wooded area they heard Hermione's voice.
" What in the Bloody Hell do you think your doing Parkinson. Merlin knows you were never one of the bright ones. " Hermione spat at her.
" First I think I'm going to kill you once and for all you Know-it-all-bitch. Never could keep your nose out of other peoples buisness. " She fired a bolt of red light towards Hermione and she dove to miss it.
" You bitch!!" Hermione screamed and shot stuptify at her. Pansy had dove and bangned her shoulder into a tree stump. Still trying to fire hexes and jinxes towards Hermione.
Ron snuck up on the other side but before he knew it was hit with a stunning spell.
Draco and the others had just arrived when Ron fell and Leona waved her hand and knocked Pansy across the ground. Her body thumped against a tree about 5 feet away. Draco helped Hermione to her feet and Harry got to Ron. Leona bound Pansy and would be questioning her back at the Inn. They walked back looking for Blaise and Neville. They had met up with the others but those 2 were still missing. Nearing they saw Blaise. Running frantically towards them
" Have you all seen Neville. I can't find him anywhere. " He was breathing hard clutching his chest.
" No we thought he was with you. Oh god. I bet Pansy got him. " Draco replied.
" Pansy? What the.." His eyes followed everyone elses and saw that Leona had her bound and gaged leading her back to the Inn knocked out cold.
" What the hell is she doing here? " He asked.
" Apparently with Rabastian Lestrange and Phyllup Macnair, trying to take over smaller communities, after Me , you and Neville for breaking her heart, Trying to become the next Dark Mistress and once again over estimating herself. I have Veritaserum with me though. We will find Neville don't worry Blaise. " Draco told him on their way towards the Inn.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Very tired and exhausted everyone collapsed in the lounge. Draco healed Ron and Hermione and gave them some more pain relieving potion. All three had been captured and were now out cold locked in a room in the basement.
" You all should rest. A few of the members here are out looking for Neville. We will go down and talk to them in about half an hour. We want to see if Neville can be found first without talking to them again. The Ministry here has been notifed and they will be sentenced to death once brought in. We will have to get any useful information out of them while we can. They will let me keep them as long as I wish to. I also have Veritaserum. We will question the 3 of the seperately. I will have a list of questions for each of them that way we cover as much as possible not asking each of them the same. Grab some food and beverages from the dinning area just through the next door. Thank you all for coming here and helping out. " She disappeared once again.
Thirty minutes later the others had arrived back without Neville. They had talked to Leona and there she was again standing before them.
" Follow me, it's time we speak to the three in the basement. Neville hasn't been found. " She turned and headed towards the door behind her desk. The others followed after her heading into the darkend basement.
Just starting down the stairs the lights came to life and the hall they were walking through brightend as well. Halfway down she turned and opend another door that revealed a large room with 4 other doors. Each one holding a different prisoner and the other a bathroom.
" Draco , Harry enter the first door and talk to Rabastian. Hermione, Ron you go and talk with Macnair. Tim come with me, we are going to talk with Miss Parkinson.
Entering the first door Draco and Harry shut the door behind them with their wands pointed at the man lying on the foor knocked out cold. Harry kicked him one good time before waking him. He wrenched the man up by his robes and sat him in a chair. His eyes were rolling and Draco walked over and slapped in across the face.
" Now, your going to tell us where she took Neville. " Draco spat at him.
Rabastian groaned. His head was pounding and it hurt to talk. " I..I don't know. " He breathed out.
" Bullshit. " Harry yelled at him. " Draco the Veritaserum. "
Harry grabbed a handfull of hair and wrenched the man's head back. He pried his mouth open and Draco poured in 4 drops, shut his mouth and forced him to swallow. Rabastians head straightend up a bit, his eyes glazed over. Just what they wanted to happen.
" What is your name? " Draco asked.
" Rabastian Lestrange. " Came out in monotone sounds.
" Who are you here with? "
" Phyllup Macnair, Pansy Parkinson , Daphne and Astoria Greengrass. "
Draco shot Harry a look. " So there are five of you. Where are the Greengrass sisters? "
" I don't know. "
" Do they have Neville ? "
" I don't know. " He repeated.
" What does Pansy want? "
" To become the next Dark Mistress. She wants to make sure that Potter or any of his friends and family ever have a peaceful life and to eventually finish what Voldemort started. "
" Like hell she will ever suceed Did the bitch not ever learn from the first time when I killed his evil ass. She isn't even a quarter as powerful as he was. Has the bitch gone even more insane then she was before? " Harry yelled agin.
" Yes. " was all he spoke.
" I guess that means yes she is more insane. " He looked at Draco.
" What drove Pansy to these decisions ? "
" Heartache. She does not feel anymore. All she feels is pain and is using it to accomplish what she desires. For you to suffer what real pain and heartache is. "
" What kind of nonsense is that. I think Voldemort pretty much suceeded in that already."
The two knocked him out again and went out the door to talk to Leona.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
" I won't ask you again Miss Parkinson where is Neville Longbottom? "
" I'm not telling you bloody anything you stupid bint. " She spat towards Leona.
" Very well then. I will just take what information I want. "
Tim grabbed Pansy's hair and threw her head back pouring the truth serum down her throat, forcing her to swallow. When the desired effects to place she questioned her again.
" Where is Neville Longbottom? "
" At the Greengrass estate in Wiltshire. "
" Thats where Malfoy Manor is. She has her close to Draco's mother. " Tim told Leona.
" Who has Neville held there? " She asked.
" Daphne and Astoria Greengrass. " She poke biting her tongue.
" Do you have any new followers Miss Parkinson? "
She tried to fight speaking , Tim pulled on her hair harder. " NO, she spat. "
" Just the ones remaining after Voldemorts defeat? "
" Yes. " She growled.
Very well Tim. Let her go. I've heard enough. She bound Pansy tighter and put a silencing charm on her.
We know where he is. We can get the Greengrass sisters and send them here to the Ministry for their crimes. It's time we tell the others and go get Mr. Longbottom. They exited the room to find the others already waiting in the room. " This way. " She led them back up from the basement.
" Leona did you find out where Neville is ? " Blaise asked.
" I will tell you all what I know once we get back up to the lounge. "
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Everyone took their seats in the lounge room of the Inn. All eyes were on Leona.
" Harry, Draco what information did you get from Mr. Lestrange?
" Nothing really other then there are 2 more assisting them. Daphne and Astoria Greengrass. "
" Yes I have gathered that much myself. Good news is that Miss. Parkinson has no new followers. Hermione, Ron anything from Macnair? "
" Nope just the same information everyone else has seemed to aquire. " they both replied.
" The good news is that Tim and I were able to find out where Mr. Longbottom is and who has him. Once I tell you this. I would like for Ron to call Kingsley and his father to let them know so they can head over to retrieve him while we portkey near by. Neville is being held by Daphne and Astoria Greengrass , In the Greengrass Manor in Wiltshire. "
" Thats near Malfoy Manor. About 3 miles up the road. " Draco spoke.
" We are escorting our 3 prisoners to the American Ministry. Where they will go before our Minister of Magic Alek Sellers who is well aware of what is going on. He will sentence them then. Lets get going. We still have to get to Wiltshire. "
Everyone left with Leona for the Ministry escorting the prisoners. The building was similar to the one in England. The guards knew who she was and why she was there and everyone was sent through special doors.
They entered a special court room that was filled with people of the High court. The head bench was occupied by non other then Alek Sellers.
" It's good to see you have caught these Dark Wizards and have delivered them sucessfully. " He spoke to the group. " It's good to see you Miss. Figg. " At hearing her name, everyone's head turned toward her. She smiled.
" Yes, I am related. She is my great-Aunt. " She smiled again and Harry's heart sank. Mrs. Figg had been there for him through his life keeping an eye on him even though she was a squibb. It was now apparent to Harry just how powerful her family really was.
" I Alek Sellers American Minister of Magic hear by sentence Phyllup Macnair, Rabastian Lestrange, and Pansy Parkinson to death for the three murders of Gary, Carla and Jena Coulter and for the kidnapping of Neville Longbottom. Guards please take them to their cells. Their lives will end in one hour. "
Everyone felt relief. Finally their goal to rid the world of anyone who followed Voldemort was getting closer to being over. Their first mission so to speak for the Ministry a sucess once they had Neville back.
" Thank you Minister. We are now going to capture the other 2 who have Mr. Longbottom. Minister Kingsley in London has already been notifed and his team of Aurors are heading to the Greengrass Manor in Wiltshire now. We must get there imediately. "
" You may go now Miss Figg. Thank you once again. "
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Everyone was just about to apparaite down the road from Malfoy Manor heading towards The Greengrass Manor when Blaise's phone rang.
" Hello? "
" Blaise...Blaise I..I love you "
" I love you to Neville. " Everyone staired.
" It's Neville. " He shouted to the group.
" Are you ok Nev. Did those bitches hurt you? "
" I'm ok Blaise. I gave them their fair share of injuries. The Aurors have them now and are going to escort them back to America . They are taking me to Draco and Harry's. Please hurry Blaise. "
" We are on our way. I love you. " He hung up the phone.
" They are escorting Daphne and Astoira back here to Alek. Neville wants us to meet him at Potter Manor where they are taking him now. We have to hurry. "
" Ok Blaise. Leona you can go with Harry and everyone else meet back at our house. " With that Draco left with a loud crack. Apparaiting that long of a distance was dangerous but at this point no one cared.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
" Neville. " Riha rushed to his side. " Are yo ok? Where are the others? "
" Yeah, I'm fine Riha. They are on their way back here now. "
" Hold on let me get Andromeda she can heal you. " She swept from the room bringing back Andomeda.
" My dear boy. What happend. " She asked just as Kylie , Lily and James entered the room.
" There was of course an attack in America. We went out to find them when Blaise and I ended up seperate somehow. Not sure really what happend. Next thing I know 2 witches grabbed me from behind while another strolled towards me and shot me with hexes. It was Pansy Parkinson. The two that held me were Daphne and Astoria Greengrass. They took me back to their Manor in Wiltshire. They tortured me for a while but nothing to bad. Apparently the others figured this out captured Phyllup Macnair, Rabastian Lestrange and Pansy Parkinson took them to the Ministry there where they are being sentenced to death for murdering 3 and for my kidnapping. Kingsley is escorting Daphne and Astoria there now with 3 other Aurors and that is all I know. "
Andromeda finished healing all of Neville's wounds and fed him a pain relieving potion. Just as it washed over him the others appeared in the livingroom.
" Neville. " Blaise shouted and wrapped his arms around him. Embracing him into a hug that revieled just how much he had been scared and missed him. " I'm glad your safe. " He kissed his lips and burried his face back in Neville's neck.
" Mum, Dad, " Harry hugged his parents.
" Mother, Riha, " Draco braced both of them in a hug. " How are the babies?" He asked Riha rubbing his hand over her much larger belly.
" There fine Draco, How are you though. "
" Fine , fine. You should be resting, six months along and already huge. " He smiled at her and she slapped his arm.
" I am not Huge Draco Lucius Malfoy you take that back. " Laughing but trying to keep an angry tone.
" Okay, Okay. "
" Dobby" Lily called.
" Yes Mistress Lily ? " Dobby called to her.
" Could you bring us some tea dear. We are going to need lots of it. "
" Yess right aways Mistress. " He fled the room ears flapping.
Kinsley and Arthur arrived a short time later. It had been a very long day for everyone.
" Leona Figg. So good to see you again beautiful as ever I might add. It's been a long time. " Kingsley hugged her.
" Indeed it has Kingsley. I never would have thought it would be under these cirumstances. "
" Lets have some tea and catch up shall we." Kingsley took Leona by the hand and escorted her to the dinning room to talk a little more privately.
" I'm going to make some dinner for everyone. If anyone needs me I'll be in the kitchen. " Riha left the others who were now relaxing more and laughing. They had missed their friends greatly.
Being from the south and having to feed so many people Riha decided to make Southern fried chicken, mashed potatoes, milk gravy, green beans, baked macaroni and cheese, homemade buiscuits , and apple pie to be topped with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The smells were lingering through the house and stomachs began to growl. Several platters and bowls of each now lined along the prep table that was in the kitchen. With so many this was going to be buffet style.She headed back into the living room to let everyone know dinner was ready.
" Everyone dinner will be served buffet style. All the food is lined up on the prep table in the kitchen and we will be having dinner in the Dinning room where you can get your drinks. " She proceeded back into the kitchen and everyone else bolted up and behind her.
" It smells delicious Riha. I'm starving. " Came from Ron.
" When aren't you starving Ronald. " Hermione giggled. " Just like when we were in school. "
" Shush. I'm still a growing young man. "
" Keep telling yourself that. " She laughed again along with the others.
" It really does smell wonderful Riha. I can't imagine how Harry and Draco keep their figures if you cook like this all of the time. " Lily stated.
The two just looked towards each other and grinned.
" I really don't want to know. " Came from James.
The laughs kept on erupting from the group that night. Thoughts of the days events pushed behind them. Atleast for now. Blaise sat closer to Neville then usual with his arm around his waist. He couldn't imagine losing him again. Actually by looking around the room everyone held onto their loved one tighter through dinner. It was sort of a suprise to see Kingsley and Leona that way. There was obviously something more there then anyone knew and maybe they would just have to find out. Harry lifted the charm from his house. There weren't that many threats out there anymore and he saw no reason why his parents couldn't just get on with their lives. There were to many of them and it was clear that no matter what the circumstances they could handle themselves and protect each other perfectly fine. After all they were Order members themselves.
Everyone was now enjoying the warm apple pie with melting ice cream when Kingsley was delivered a note by Eagle Owl. Everyone stopped their chattering while he read the note allowed.
