Ch 10 battle at department of mysteries
Touching down at a building, Kodai followed the group as they entered the Ministry of Magic. What surprised Kodai, was lack of security. 7 people don't walk in and not attract attention. It was almost as if their enemy was waiting for them.
"I got a bad feeling about this." Koda said, unslinging his AN rifle, and pulling the bolt back.
"Expecting trouble?" Luna asked.
"So am I." Harry said, grabbing his wand.
They were soon standing in a large circular room. Everything was black. Neville shut the door, and it became pitch black. Suddenly, the room itself began to move.
"What's going on?" Kodai asked.
"It wants to stop us from knowing which door we came in from." Ginny said.
"Good plan. An enemy wouldn't know where to go from here, and be a perfect target for an ambush." Kodai said, not comforting Harry and his friends.
"Where do we go then, Harry?" Ron asked.
"I don't know. In the dreams, I went through the door at the end of the corridor from the lifts into a dark room, and then I went through another door into a room that kind of… glitters. We should try a few doors. I'll know when I see it." Harry said.
Opening a door, they walked into a room that was empty, except for some desks, and a large glass tank of water.
"What's inside it?" Kodai asked.
"Brains." Hermione said.
"What?" Kodai asked.
"Lets try another door." Harry said.
Walking thru another door, the room was larger and dimly lit.
"Who's there?" Harry asked.
Kodai activated his night vision, but didn't see anyone. Harry was fixated on an archway, but Hermione persuaded him to continue the search.
"This is it!" Harry said, standing at another door.
Running thru the room, they saw multiple shelves with crystal balls on them. They moved quickly through the different rows, until they hit row 97.
"He's right down at the end." Harry said, running across the length.
"Who is?" Kodai asked.
"Sirius." Harry replied.
At the end, they saw nothing, but pitch blackness.
"He's not here." Hermione said.
Ron, however, found something interesting.
"Harry, you'll want to see this." Ron said.
"What?" Harry asked, not in the mood to talk.
"It's got your name on it." Ron said.
Harry grabbed the dusty glowing crystal ball. He gaze was fixed upon it, wondering what it had his name on it.
"Very good, Potter. Now turn around and give that to me." A drawling voice said, behind them.
Everyone looked at Lucius Malfoy. Behind and next to him, a dozen death eaters appeared. They were outnumbered 2-1.
"Where's Sirius?" Harry asked.
"The dark lord always knows." A harsh female voice from the midst of the shadows said.
"Now, give me the prophecy." Malfoy said.
"Up yours pal. You can take it from our cold dead fingers." Kodai said, shoving his rifle in Malfoy's face.
"Just give us the fucking orb." Malfoy said.
The female death eater had enough, and was about to cast a spell, but Harry quickly deflected it.
"I told you, no!" Malfoy yelled at the women. "If you smash it-"
"You'll have to smash this if you want to attack any of us." Harry told the deatheater, holding the prophecy. "What kind of prophecy are we talking about?"
"Must be important to them. Otherwise, we'd be dead already." Kodai said, keeping his rifle in Malfoy's face.
"How come Voldemort wants it?" Harry asked.
"You dare speak his name?" Bellatrix asked.
"Yeah. I've got no problem saying Voldemort." Harry said.
"Shut your mouth, you filthy half-blood!" Bellatrix shouted.
"Did you know he's a half-blood too? His mother was a witch, but his dad was a muggle. Or has he been telling you he's pureblood?" Harry retorted.
This Voldemort guy sounds like Hitler and his Aryan race plan. Kodai thought.
Bellatrix fired a spell, but Lucius deflected it.
"We need the prophecy!" he yelled.
"He insulted da Fuhrer!" Bellatrix shouted.
Everyone looked at her as if she was raving mad.
"He insulted Voldemort. The dark lord." She corrected.
"Anyway. What's so important about this prophecy?" Harry asked.
"Dumbledore never told you that the reason you bear that scar was hidden in the bowels of the department of mysteries?" Malfoy sneered.
"What about my scar?" Harry asked, forgetting his plan.
"Really? Dumbledore never told you? This explains why you didn't come earlier. The dark lord wondered why you didn't come running when he showed you the place where it was hidden in your dreams. He thought natural curiosity would make you want to hear the exact wording…" Malfoy droned.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Because the only people who are permitted to retrieve a prophecy are those about whom it was made, as the dark lord discovered when he attempted to use others to steal it." Malfoy said.
Kodai waited as the two bantered back and forth. He then noticed that Harry's DA friends were pointing wands everywhere except the death eaters.
"REDUCTO!" was heard, and the shelves opposite exploded. Hundreds of glass spheres burst apart, providing them cover to escape.
"Run!" Harry yelled.
Kodai stayed next to harry, firing his rifle while retreating. A death eater was behind them, firing off spells and curses. Kodai fired 4 bullets into him, ending his life. The death eater fell backwards and his head broke a bell jar.
"Get moving!" Kodai said, as more death eaters were approaching them. None of them noticed that the dead persons head was morphing into different stages of life.
Unfortunately, more death eaters appeared and pinned them down.
"Now. Give us the prophecy." Another death eater said, Antonin Dolohov.
"Fuck you!" Kodai shouted.
"Crucio!" Dolohov replied, hitting Kodai.
Kodai screamed in immense pain. He never felt anything like this before. He collapsed and heavily breathed.
"Petrificus totalus!" Harry yelled, hitting Dolohov.
Kodai, though wounded, grabbed Hermione and followed Harry and Neville. Leaving the office they entered the hallway and were once again lost.
"Fuck." Kodai muttered, loading his rifle with another clip.
Suddenly, a door sprang open and three people fell out of it.
"Ron. Ginny. Ya'll okay?" Harry asked.
Ron only spoke incoherently, and Ginny had a broken ankle. And Ron had the bright idea to grab the tank holding the brain, and open it. The tentacles wrapped themselves around Ron.
And more death eaters appeared.
"Stupefy!" Neville shouted, but nothing worked.
Kodai fired several rounds at the death eaters, and was satisfied to hear several scream as the bullets killed them. A stunning spell hit the rifle and shut it off. He pulled out his pistol and retreated with Harry.
Harry was standing next to an archway, holding the prophecy. Kodai cloaked himself as not to be seen.
"Give us the prophecy, Potter." Bellatrix said.
Just when it seemed like Harry would give in, doors opened from above, and five more people sprinted in the room. Sirius, Lupin, Moody, Tonds, and Kingsley. But more also arrived. 10 special ops soldiers from the Yamato also appeared, all holding heavy caliber machine guns.
"Nice." Kodai said, joining the fight.
The death eaters were pushed back from the members of the Order and the Yamato.
"Good to see you Kodai." One of the soldiers said.
"Good to see you to. We're in a FUBAR right now." Kodai said, as he shot a death eater.
Kodai grabbed a plasma storm rifle and made his way to Harry. And then he heard a crashing noise.
"Well there goes the prophecy." He muttered, as he aimed at Dolohov, but a spell barely missed him. Kodai fired at the unknown shooter and heard him scream as plasma tore into him.
"Dumbledore!" Neville said.
"What?" Harry asked.
"DUMBLEDORE!"
Harry and Kodai looked at Dumbledore, with great relief.
"We're saved." Kodai said.
"Ditto." Harry replied.
"You can do better than that." Sirius shouted at Bellatrix, dueling her. A second later, a killing spell hit him dead center.
"Sirius!" Harry yelled, running towards him.
Lupin grabbed Harry, holding him back.
"He's dead. Harry. He's gone."
"He's not dead!" Harry yelled.
"He can't come back, Hary. He's gone." Lupin said, voice breaking.
"HE IS NOT DEAD! SIRIUS!" Harry yelled.
Soon, Dumbledore had the rest of the death eaters tied up, with the Yamato's special ops guarding them.
A loud bang was heard, and a yell. Kingsley fell to the ground, having been shot. Bellatrix turned tail and ran as Dumbledore and the special ops soldiers fired at her.
"I'M GONNA KILL HER!" Harry yelled.
After waiting a few minutes, Dumbledore grabbed Kodai's arm, and apparated into another part of the complex. And in time, as Voldemort was about to kill Harry.
"It was foolish to come here tonight, Tom. The Aurors are on their way-" Dumbledore said.
"I'll be gone, and you'll be dead!" spat Voldemort.
A shot was heard, and Voldemort screamed in pain, grabbing his leg, now heavily seared by plasma. Bellatrix fired a spell at Kodai, knocking him out, and giving his torso a good burn.
"Shit." Harry muttered, as Voldemort and Dumbledore dueled.
Voldemort lost the duel and retreated, with Bellatrix in tow.
"Kodai!" Harry shouted, running towards the captain.
"Stay where you are, Harry." Dumbledore said, walking towards Kodai. Dumbledore ran his wand over Kodai, healing his wounds and waking him up.
"Where's Voldemort?" Kodai asked.
"Gone. We'll get you out of here." Dumbledore said, picking Kodai up. "Accio weapon."
"Thanks." Kodai said, using the storm rifle as a makeshift crutch.
"He was there!" shouted a scarlet-robed man with a ponytail.
"I know, Williamson, I know, I saw him too." Fudge said.
"Fudge!" Kodai spat, aiming his rifle at where they would come.
"Dumbledore! Kodai! You. Here…" Fudge said.
Fudge looked half mad, ready to seize Dumbledore.
"You. You son of a bitch!" Kodai shouted, running towards Fudge, but Harry stopped him.
"Don't do it. Don't." Harry pleaded.
"Cornelius, I am ready to fight your men, and win again! But a few minutes ago you saw proof, with your own eyes, that I have been telling you the truth for a year. Voldemort has returned, you have been chasing the wrong men for twelve months, and it is time you listen to sense!" Dumbledore thundered.
"Very well. Dawlish. Williamson. Go down to the Department of Mysteries and see… Dumbledore, you will need exactly what happened." Fudge said.
"We can discus that after I have sent Harry and Kodai back to Hogwarts. Kodai, tell your men to come up here." Dumbledore said.
Kodai quickly gave the order, and the 10 soldiers came up, meeting with Kodai.
Dumbledore walked away from the pool to the place where the golden wizard's head lay on the floor. He pointed his want at it and muttered "Portus."
A Portkey appeared out of nowhere, giving Kodai, his men, and the DA a way to Hogwarts.
"You haven't got authorization for that Portkey! You can't do things like that right in front of the minister of magic." Fudge said, but stopped when Dumbledore glared at him and also noticed that Kodai's troops were pointing their guns at him, itching to pull the trigger.
"You will give the order to remove Dolores Umbridge from Hogwarts. You will tell your Aurors to stop searching for my Care of Magical Creatures teacher so that he can return to work. I will give you…" Dumbledore said, pulling a watch with twelve hands from his pocket and looked at it. "half an hour of my time tonight, in which I think we shall be more than able to cover the important points of what has happened here. After that, I shall need to return to my school. If you need more help from me you are, of course, more than welcome to contact me at Hogwarts. Letters addressed to the headmaster will find me."
Harry, Kodai and Kodai's soldiers were transported back to Hogwarts. When they came back, all but Harry vomited.
"I'm gonna throw up." One said, then vomited.
"You're okay." Harry replied.
