Coup de Grace

Song of the moment: Life's on the Line -50 Cent

Chapter Two

Dumbledore was not having a good day. He had felt the wards that protected Harry at four Privet Drive. And on top of that when he went to Little Whinging neither Dursleys, nor Harry were anywhere to be found. The wards didn't look like they had been destroyed, but simply deactivate. This worried him, only those with blood relation to Harry could shut down the wards like that, but the only person with that of connection to Harry besides Petunia was long gone or so he thought, he would have to look into that at a later date. He connected the Weasleys but it seemed that they didn't know he was missing.

It was quite the surprise when he went to the Granger house hold to find it empty. He had the strange with Miss Granger and that he did not like. Hermione Granger was smart, too smart for her own good. She would get the way of his plan. He needed a way to get her to come back here with Harry. He sat in his big leather arm chair in his office. He needed to act fast before he lost them.

Minerva McGonagall had walked into the headmaster's office at that moment with a distressed look on her face. Dumbledore took this as a bad sign.

"We haven't found either of them, but we do know that the Dursleys are in America, thus out of our reach however the Grangers are on a flight to Germany."

Dumbledore was glad he kept Minerva around, no one else could get him information that clear cut. Of course as soon as his plan was finished he would get rid of her just like he got rid of Grindelwald. After all, all this was for the "greater good" of the wizarding community. He needed Miss Granger under his thumb and he knew the perfect way to do it.

Minerva McGongall would never forget what Dumbledore did to her beloved in his quest for power. She could never forgive him neither, to this day it left a whole in her heart that refused to be healed. So when she had been contacted by Reis Mistic she accepted without hesitation. She became one the most famous members in a short couple of years earning her the nickname "Panther". She was given the task of spying on Dumbledore shortly after he "defeated" her beloved Gellert. That old bastard manipulated Gellert, gave him love potions and took him away from her. After a couple of years of being under Dumbledore's control Gellert managed to free himself. He was appalled at what had happened. It was true that he fancied the darks arts, but taking over the wizarding world was nowhere in his plans. So he, with Minerva stern objection, confronted Dumbledore and lost. His punishment was to be locked in the prison that he "supposedly" built.

Minerva felt lost until Reis Mistic found her. Being a young witch just out Hogwarts, it was the only thing she had. She was recruited and then five years later given her task to watch Dumbledore. But she also had a second task, and that was to look for potential candidates for Reis Mistic. She had been teaching there for six more years until she had gotten the trouble maker James Potter and the bright witch known as Lily Evans.

It saddened her to this day that the two were wrapped tightly around Dumbledore finger. They had tremendous potential especially Lily. But what made up for that disappointment was when James' younger sister had come to Hogwarts.

Kallisto Potter was a very strange girl. Very open with her sexually, charming, daring. She was also dangerous even without a wand. Minerva had caught her beating a Ravenclaw boy with her bare hands for jinxing her "Friend" of the moment. At that instant she knew that she had to have her. Years later she would have her nephew Harry "the boy who lived", and a young clone of Lily Potter named Hermione Granger.

She kept tabs on Harry when she could without comprising her position. She was overjoyed when Kallisto decided it was time to invited Harry to Reis Mistic. Minerva was one step away from killing those relatives of his. Hermione Granger was her favorite student, very smart and courageous and at least she paid attention in class. She adored both of the children and she looked forward to how powerful they would become…

(Meanwhile)

Harry and the others had left Hermione's house an hour before Dumbledore arrived there. They still had an hour until they got to Wales. The car ride was silent but not awkwardly so. Hermione had fallen asleep on Harry's shoulder while the twins were arguing about something he didn't know about. As he gazed out the window he thought about had transpired today. Everything that he had come to know and love was a lie, the people he trusted, the motives they had, they things they did. And for what? Money? If that was the case he would have given them all of what he had, the money and fame that came along with being Harry Potter never matter to him.

Harry sighed as he looked down at one of his last remaining friends. Hermione looked peaceful when she was sleeping. During his the course of the year he felt feelings for his friend but because of the love potion they seem to come and go. But the feeling was here now and though he didn't know if this was love he decided that this feeling wasn't a bad thing.

Harry heard his aunt swear loudly enough to wake the whole country.

"That bastard ….. Okay, alright report if anything else happens."

He heard the click of the phone and his aunt irritated sigh. Harry and the twin's eyes were on Kallisto as she gave instructions to the driver to speed up.

"Auntie, what happened?"

Harry asked his aunt, Kallisto was sitting in the passenger side of the chaffered car. Despite the slight feelings of anger she was feeling, Kallisto's heart swelled with happiness and pride when Harry had called her Auntie, she had waited thirteen years to hear the words, however know wasn't the time to dwell on those thoughts no matter how happy they were.

"It would be better to discussed this once we get to the house."

The tone in her voice told them that there would be no room for discussion; she didn't want them to know the extent of the headmaster cruelty just yet. That man was planning to kill Hermione's parents in order to claim guardianship of her. Kallisto saw this as a plan to get Harry back. It would be a cold day in hell that she would let them go back to that bastard of a man.

Before Harry knew it the car had come to a halt. He along with the twins had fallen asleep, Hermione had shaken him awake. The first thing he saw was a beach the next was a huge mansion that seemed a little out of place. It was a gothic styled mansion made of pale bricks. It sat on top of a hill, overlooking a strangely abandon beach.

"Guys we are here, let me welcome you to Three Cliff Bay, Wales."

Kallisto had led them up the grassy hill. Everything near the mansion seemed empty, as if no one had been there in years.

"This mansion had been here since the creation of Reis Mistic, it was built by Drake Eaton, the father of Reis Mistic, for the reason to bring all magical cultures together."

Kallisto had explained to the teens has they made their way to the entrance of the mansion. As she came to the big bronze doors they swung open as if waiting for them. The inside was beautiful, marble floors and beige and warm brown walls greeted them along with two lines of maids and butlers. There was one maid that seemed to be irritated. She was older than Kallisto. She wore her silver hair in a bun and had a pair of fashionable sliver glasses. Her outfit was different from the standard maid outfit. She wore a ruffled white blouse and black slacks with matching shoes.

"Lady Kallisto those two are up to it again, Miss Nasrin tried to experiment on one of the maids and Miss Galaxia is blowing things up."

Her heavy French accent was interrupted by a loud explosion and noises that sounded like gun shot.

Harry didn't know what to think should he be scared or what. A girl, about their age or older, came down one of the winding staircases that were in the entrance hallway. She was covered in shoot and oil. Her attire seemed to clash with the rest of the mansion. A regular t-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans. Her hat hid her hair.

"Well that didn't go as planned."

She joked as she made her way to the group. She took her basketball cap off, shaking free her wavy, long, weirdly two toned colored hair. It was a sunset orange color from her scalp to the mid section of her back, then it seem to become a yellow blonde from mid back to her behind. She was slender, tall and tan, her eyes were bluish grey. All in all she was really pretty despite her current look.

"Galaxia, what did destroy this time?"

Kallisto had asked slightly amused. Noticing the confused looked on Harry and Hermione faces , Kallisto decided that they should meet one of the newest members of Reis Mistic.

"Harry, Hermione this is Galaxia Ployxena one of the younger members of Reis Mistic, Galaxia these are the new recruits I was telling you about."

Galaxia eyes landed on Harry and Hermione, she walked up to them and shook Harry's hand.

"I'm Galaxia, and no Kallisto I didn't destroy anything, it's just…. My experiment didn't go as planned."

The girl was pulled away from Harry by the older maid who started to wipe her face with her handkerchief.

"Miss Galaxia it is bad manners to come greet guest with your appearance."

The elderly maid calmly explained to the younger girl while she tried to fight her way out her grip, unsuccessfully.

Harry could feel the closeness between the two as if they were mother and daughter rather that master and servant. The maid had finally let Galaxia go after she got all the oil and grime off her face.

"Cerise, Where are the others?"

Kallisto asked the senior maid

"They are in the Conference room, waiting your arrival my lady, all except the Panther she said she shall be late."

Kallisto nodded to Cerise and started to walk down the opposite hall way from where Harry and the others were.

"Cerise take them out back there are more people they should met, Galaxia get Nasrin down here to met Harry and Hermione."

Kallisto yelled as she turned the corner disappearing. Cerise told Harry and Hermione to follow her while the Weasley twins went with Galaxia. Harry noticed that Fred and Galaxia were holding hands as they left.

They had followed Cerise outback, to the most gorgeous garden they had ever seen. Luxuriant plants, muggle and magical had adorn the garden along with a beautiful view of the beach.

"I believe that garden has never looked so magnificent, since he started to tend it."

Cerise commented as she led down the stone path to a table to sit down.

"Who's he?"

Hermione had asked Cerise, it had been the first time she spoke since they left her house. Harry knew that Hermione was having a harder time with this whole situation thing he was. He knew that she had grown up to be a very trusting and loyal person. So this whole thing must have shaken her to her core.

"Harry? Hermione?"

A familiar voice called out to them. They both turned around and looked at who called them. To say they were shock was an understatement.

"Neville?"

They turned to see their classmate and fellow Gryffindor, Neville Longbottom holding what looked to be a pot of belladonna. They were both shocked and overjoyed to see Neville.

"Wow, well it makes sense that you two would be recruited into Reis Mistic I still don't know they would recruit someone like me."

Harry was about to comment on Neville lack of confidence when another girl came into the courtyard. She looked similar to Kallisto only with golden blonde hair that seemed to sparkle in the sunlight. She wrapped her arms around Neville neck, almost in a loving embrace.

"Neville how many times do I have to tell you, you are a very valuable wizard to our cause, we are very fortunate to have you here."

The older girl scolded Neville gently before noticing Harry and Hermione. She let go of Neville and addressed Harry.

"Harry, Hermione…Um…This is Nasrin Gineton, she's Miss Kallisto's daughter."

Harry and Nasrin stared at each other until Nasrin smiled at him.

"I don't bite dear cousin, I'm sorry we couldn't meet until now."

She had let go of a blushing Neville and hugged Harry. Harry who wasn't used close contact with people had involuntary flinched as Nasrin wrapped her arms around him. Nasrin had let him go and looked at him. Her eyes narrowed dangerously, and Harry was wondering what he had did to upset her.

"You never had a hug before?"

It wasn't a question but a statement. Nasrin had heard from her mother what type of people her cousin's aunt and uncle. She wanted to kill them. She didn't care if that woman was Lily potter's sister or her mother's ex-best friend; they were horrible and didn't deserve the mercy that her mother had granted them.

"I was hugged once… by Hermione"

Harry said looking embarrassed. He still remember the warm feeling he felt when Hermione leaped into his arms after she had been released from the hospital wing.

It seemed only when Harry mentioned Hermione's name that Nasrin had noticed the poor girl sitting next to Harry.

Nasrin face turned slightly pink in embarrassment. She didn't mean to ignore Hermione, but she had been so quiet that it was easy to over look her.

"I'm sorry, I was being rude and didn't notice you, I'm Nasrin Gineton."

This surprised Hermione; she didn't realize that she was being ignored as she was in a world of her own.

"You don't have to apologize, I wasn't paying attention either."

Both girls looked at each other for a minute, and then started to laugh at each other.

"It looks like everyone is having a good time, let us join."

Three more girls had come over to the group. One of the girls Harry and Hermione both knew as one of the Patil sisters, both the other two were people they had never met.

"My dear cousin, Hermione, these are Padma Patil, Luna Lovegood, and Daphne Greengrass, they like you and Neville are rookie recruits.

The blonde hair girl walked over with a dreamy smile.

"Hello Harry and Hermione, the Nargles told me all about you, I'm Luna Lovegood upcoming 3rd year Ravenclaw."

Luna looked like she was in a world all her own. The next girl, a pretty dark haired girl with a proud look on her face stood to the right of Luna.

"I'm Daphne Greengrass, and before we get introduction underway I would like to apologize for the Slytherin house, most of them are inbreed idiots but a small few aren't bad."

Hermione looked her over. She hadn't heard that much of Daphne Greengrass, the proclaimed "Ice Queen" of Slytherin. She held herself with pride, Hermione could sense her confidence

"If those few are like you then I accept your apology, "

Harry shook her hand and Hermione nodded at her as she move aside to let Padma Patil introduced herself.

Harry had just noticed something about Padma that set her apart from her twins. Padma's eyes seemed to have a bit of yellow in them.

Harry found out that Padma was totally different from her sister. She was shyer than Parvati also she was more studious than her sister. It seemed that she and Hermione hit it off really well. That he was glad for.

Galaxia and the twins had found them just as they had finished introductions.

"Now let's meet the elders, they are the six high ranking people that give advice to the Master or Mistress."

Nasrin had walked ahead of them as did Galaxia. The twins hung back with Harry and the others and led them back threw the house and to a big conference room. A group of people sat around a long table, them seemed to be discussing something as they were all huddled together. They were all dressed in muggle clothing.

At the head of the table was Kallisto and to her right was Nasrin and Galaxia and to her left was another woman whom seemed to be reading something off to her. Harry saw that there was one spot that was empty.

"Nephew, all of you welcome to Reis Mistic, I am the Mistress of Reis Mistic Kallisto Gineton, normally we would have had an introductory party but things are moving faster than expected."

"Your headmaster found out that Harry was no longer at private drive, and immediately started to search for him, he also noticed that Hermione wasn't at her home so he put two and two together."

"He wanted to claim guardianship of Hermione and to do so he tried to kill her Parents."

Hermione eyes widen she stood there frozen in shock. She held her head in her hands.

"M..,m…my parents?"

"Don't be alarmed, we were able to get to them before they were harmed. I'm sorry if I worried you."

Hermione's body began to shake with relief. She had fallen to the floor in respite.

"Now, it will not take long for Dumbledore to realize that each of you are gone especially you two Fred and George no doubt that your mother has informed Dumbledore of you leaving home."

"Now Next week we will start training, since today is Wednesday we will use the rest of this week to get to know everyone and to get everything in order now I'll dismiss you all for now except Harry and Hermione."

Everyone had left the conference hall until it was just Hermione, Harry, and Kallisto.

"Hermione your father is in the hall waiting for you, however your mother refused to come, she was claiming she didn't have a daughter anymore."

Kallisto voice was laced with sadness but held a hit of anger. Hermione had small sad smile as if it was something inventible. A strong magical energy filled the room. Anger and rage filled the magical energy.

"Why…why would she say something like that about Hermione?"

Things in the room started to break. Harry's eyes had turned a lighter color green, his expression was murderous.

"Harry, please calm down!"

Hermione hugged Harry squeezing him tight. Her eyes were wet with tears. Kallisto looked on. She

"It's alright please, calm down."

Harry calmed down bit. He hugged Hermione back tenderly.

"It isn't fair"

he whispered into her ear as tears started to fall down his cheek. He didn't know why he was crying, was it because Hermione was crying. Was it because the person that he considered the most important was in pain?

"It will be alright I still have you, Kallisto and my dad… I don't need her…I never needed her."

Hermione had let Harry go, and wiped her eyes.

"Beside I think that daddy is in a hard spot, he really loved her."

Harry nodded as he took her hand in his.

"Now, Dumbledore will try to find you, however two things will stop him from ever succeeding, one is the powerful fidelius charm that was place on this location and two will be that information that is given to him will be false."

Kallisto explained to the teenagers as she sat down. She pulled out some documents that appeared to have her signature on it.

"We have an insider in Hogwarts that keeps tabs on Dumbledore at all times, actually it someone that you know very well."

"during the that you are here that person will keep him away from us, and protect you when you go back to Hogwarts, in the meantime Hermione your father is waiting for you I suggest that you introduce him to Harry."

With that Hermione dragged Harry to meet her father.

Kallisto sighed; this wasn't going to be easy. But she knew they had what it took to overcome the obstacles that were in the way. She would mold them, help them to become strong they would crush Dumbledore, Voldermort and any other who stood in there way.

She really pitted their enemies…..
