Chapter 18

Ransacking The Archives

The twins ransacked the office, gathering all the valuable intelligence they could find. Unfortunately they couldn't use magic, unless they wanted detected. Hearts pounding, adrenaline pumping, they quickly continued their quest gathering folder after folder of people in Azkaban without the full approval of the Wizengamont. Just the Minister also unfortunately and the Head of the Wizengamont. They kept sneaking a peak at the door, hands shaking almost sweating. They were trouble makers but they had never done something as illegal as breaking into the Ministry and stealing Ministry Documents. Their resolve strengthened when they thought of their baby sister, Ginny hadn't deserved all that happened to her. They silently thanked the gods they weren't all powerful, or studious or they knew they would have been under the potions as well. The pile they were going to take with them was getting bigger and bigger by the minute.

"Oh my fucking god" said Fred looking at one of the folders in his hands.

"What?" asked George alarmed?

The name on the page - Gellert Grindelwald

"Impossible" murmured Fred shaking his head as if trying to make the name on the file re-arrange itself.

"C'mon we need all the files" said George shaking his brother out of his shocked state.

"Yeah" murmured Fred "But most are likely dead!"

"Maybe but its still evidence against Dumbledore" said George.

Suddenly they heard feet pounding above them, then the dig of an elevator. Wide eyed they quickly gathered everything else they could, Fred shrinking all the papers and hiding them in his pocket. George chucking folders at him at an alarming rate finally the drawer was empty for the last one hundred years. They had enough, Fred tidied the room up fanatically hoping against hope they didn't get caught out so soon.

George un-shrunk their products and set them loose with a Muggle looking lighter. Everyone bought their products so there was no way they could prove it was there's. Grinning wickedly, both tossed back a clear liquid into their mouths and they abruptly disappeared from sight. Completely invisible to the naked eye, something not even Mad Eye Moody or Dumbledore could see though. That potion stopped even magic showing or even auras. They had done it when Harry had told them about Dumbledore being able to see through his cloak. It had taken them years to perfect it but they had done it and had kept this nifty potion to themselves.

Fred and George took each others hands, so they knew where each of them was. They didn't want to end up split; they would rather be caught together if it came to it. Plus there was only one Portkey so in the end it seemed perfectly reasonable to keep a tight grip of one another.

They narrowly avoided bumping into Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic - Re-elected after Harry was proven untrustworthy. They bowed down to him and practically worshiped him now. All because they believed everything Dumbledore said - that Fudge had been correct about Harry and his devious ways. Fudge had been smug about that fact, Fred and George had wanted nothing more than to curse him, the urge was still as strong right now. However, they couldn't get distracted they had to get out of there and back to Severus and Harry. They had very incriminating evidence against Fudge, Crouch and Scrimgeour as well. There was also Ministers he had no idea who they were, Politics wasn't exactly their strong points they couldn't stand the ministry. Which now extended to their family, or their Ex- Family Ginny and Harry had been their little brother and sister - and the family had betrayed all they preached. 'Family comes first', Molly Weasley had always preached Fred and George scoffed as they thought of it. 'Even the Malfoy's had more family values than that' thought Fred.

Finally they got out of the Ministry hoping against hope they hadn't left anything that might lead Fudge or Dumbledore to them. They planned on being more useful in bringing Dumbledore down and if they remained the same perhaps Dumbledore would slip up. They apparated back to Snape Castle, still invisible, the wards acknowledged them; the vampires could smell them and frowned at them.

"Don't worry!" said Fred quickly.

Now that they were over the wards, they took the Anti- Dote to their potion and they became visible to the world again. The vampires relaxed; as did Fred and George no one could them now. The wards had been changed; if you looked you would see a clear lawn even Dumbledore. So they were safe the moment they stepped though, they were allowed in because Severus had keyed them into the wards.

"Hello, how did it go?" asked Severus gesturing them to sit and have lunch.

"Good we got out of there in the nick of time" nodded George with a lot of satisfaction on his freckled face. His twin looked just as smug about that little detail; Neville and Luna were also sitting eating listening to the conversation.

"I'm just glad you guys are ok" grinned Harry, he had full confidence in them but he above all else knew how devious Dumbledore was.

"I think Dumbledore had that room warded…he knew someone was in there Fudge and Dumbledore ran past us" said George frowning as he put mashed potatoes into his plate along with the sausages.

"Wouldn't surprise me…we wont be able to go back he will no doubt fix the wards to tell him who enters now. Before he was too arrogant to think anyone would think to look there or even suspect" said Severus with a grunt of un-satisfaction.

"Don't worry we got everything up to one hundred years ago" said Fred shuddering slightly as he remembered the names. There was a lot he didn't bother looking at just the signatures on the bottom and added them to the pile.

"That's good, thank you" murmured Severus.

"No problem he will regret ever hurting our brother or sister" snarled Fred viciously.

"Who?" asked Harry sadly thinking one of the Weasley's was dead.

"You" said George softly.

Harry blushed lightly; he had thought of those two as brothers he hadn't known they felt the same. They were his brothers in everything but blood; it seemed they too felt the same. It made Harry feel all weird inside, not like Severus made him feel but a different kind of happiness. One he hadn't felt in such a long time since he had been betrayed.

"Thank you" murmured Harry, leaning into Severus' comfort as he softly stroked his back in a soothing manner.

"He need's everyone to show him just how loved he is" said Severus lovingly.

Harry grinned softly at that.

"We have another surprise for you," said Severus softly kissing the top of Harry's head. He loved ravishing Harry with attention, he responded so lovely to his touches and it made him love Harry all the more. Especially when he mewed when he drew away, it was the most endearing thing Severus had ever heard in his mortal and immortal life.

"What?" asked Harry cocking his head to the side cutely.

"We found Draco Harry, he's here and getting better Andrea is seeing to him. He had the same potion as Neville and you, we were lucky we found him in time" said Luna softly.

Harry's eyes twinkled, all his family was here his brothers and sisters in all but blood. Joy surged through him and it nearly had Severus out of his seat, he knew he had made the right decision bringing Draco here. Thankfully he had the reassurance that Harry and Draco's relationship was very platonic otherwise he would have been very jealous indeed. Harry's next thought made him relax completely and banished all his jealousy completely.

'I finally have someone to love me and my last brother back, things are going too well…I wonder what will happen soon something always does' was all His Harry thought.

"There was one name that caught our attention" said Fred after he swallowed some food.

"What?" asked Severus curiously, his black eyes would have looked like endless tunnels if not for the emotions swirling around in them.

"Gellert Grindelwald" said George.

"But didn't…I mean Jesus is anything as it seems?" gaped Harry not feeling as shocked as he out to have felt.

"We have to assume not" growled Neville angrily.

"What better way to get everyone to trust and admire you? By pretending to be a hero who defeated an evil wizard" sneered Fred.

"Why did he risk sending him to Azkaban? We know he isn't aversed to killing?" groaned Harry, none of this made sense, if he was able he would probably have a very sore head if he had still been human.

"It happened in 1945 if he is still alive which I doubt he won't be in any fit state to comment on that" sighed Severus.

"And its 1998 now wow that is a long time" sighed Harry, he was eighteen years old and already felt one hundred years old. 53 years, since Dumbledore had battled it out with Grindelwald, Harry had actually thought Dumbledore was younger. He didn't know why but he had envisioned a teenage Dumbledore, much like he himself had been when he took down Voldemort.

"How has he gathered so many people following him blindly? I mean 53 years isn't all that much of a long time" said Damien walking though he had heard the entire conversation.

"Not for you" snorted Harry "But for others it is a long time…then again most Witches and Wizards have a prolonged life look at Dumbledore. There are only a few people the same age as him…perhaps if we can find them we can gain some insight to him"

"That's a fine idea little one" said Severus.

Harry positively beamed at the compliment; Harry didn't think he could ever get used to hearing someone praising him. Sure he had heard it all before, from Dumbledore but it didn't mean anything to him anymore. This meant more to Harry than anyone else, he was coming to love Severus more than he had loved anyone in his life.

"Flamel could still be alive" murmured Harry thoughtfully…"If he managed to store away some of his stone"

"I agree I do not think someone would hand it all over they would have kept some of it" nodded Severus already knowing who Nicolas Flamel was, and he knew about Harry's adventures. He knew quite a lot, Harry liked to speak to him as they lay in bed in the dead of the night. Vampires didn't need a lot of sleep, they still slept though.

"My Gran might be able to shed some light too" said Neville.

"Dumbledore's brother runs a pub even if we have to do it under Veritaserum. He might even help us he might just be too scared to stand up to Dumbledore. I mean Aberforth is well pictured as goat crazy" suggested Luna.

"Finally getting somewhere" said Severus practically whispering it as if everything was falling into place. After so many years plans were finally beginning to be cemented into the foundations of a solid plan. He just wished he had been able to help his little one sooner…if only he had thought of getting Harry on side. He silently knew that Harry wouldn't have betrayed Dumbledore anyway…even Harry had admitted it that he had been well under the old mans thumb.

Harry squeezed Severus' hand in comfort, he too felt the same way he wanted Dumbledore taken down. He didn't care how as long as it was long gruelling and painful. He wanted to pull the Dumbledore name so far through the mud he might as well be in a mud pit as it slowly sunk him under like sinking sand.
