Disclaimer: I only own the plot bunny.
Ok, I wanted to thank El Santo Verdugo, for pointing out that there is no slash warning. I TOTALLY FORGOT.
WARNING: This story will be slash. Not graphic in nature, but implied. Rated M for gore and foul language.
For those of you who hate Ron, well I do too. I found his character lacking in common sense, and the jealousy he showed Harry all throughout the books was very off putting. If I had a friend like that, they wouldn't be my friend for long. Glad you all are enjoying this story. I'm hoping this chapter will be longer and get to the main points. Good news, I found a spell checker that works with android 1.5. Wooohooo! Well the spelling will be better, but I still might miss punctuation.
Now on with the show.
Chapter 6
(Location - Prison, Daryl and company return.)
A strange van pulled up the drive to the prison. Rick and Carl were just finishing up the walker clean up, when they saw it. Carl ran over to the gate to let it in, even though it wasn't the same vehicle they left with, he knew it had to be them. Rick smiled and went to help Carl open and close the gate. The meds they needed were finally here, and people would be getting better.
Toby and Dobby got off the top of the van, and did a quick scout of the prison. They were counting people just to see how many were lost. They counted up to 20 people dead, and one missing. They new that Harry would want to know. Once they finished, they left for home. They didn't realize that Daryl and his group were going to be discussing the weird things that kept happening around them. If they had, they would've stayed.
"How did it go"? Rick asked.
"Good, until we ran into a gigantic horde coming down the road. We had to ditch the car, and run into the trees." Daryl said.
"There was some strange shit that was happening too." Michonne said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well...Ty saw more than the rest when we was running." Daryl said.
Rick turned to Ty, expecting him to start talking, but what he saw Ty doing gave him pause. Ty was scanning the van, like he was looking for something. He had a flashlight out and was searching all over the van. He was checking the back, and was on his way to the front.
"Ty, what are you doing?" Rick asked.
"Looking."
"I can see that, but what are you looking for?"
"Not sure...just looking...thought I heard something around the van earlier."
"Like what?"
"Talking... but weird like...almost like little kid talking...but like."
"But there ain't non one there." Daryl said.
"I'm telling you. I heard it. Besides...remember all he crazy stuff that happened? Locked doors opening, open doors closing, walkers not being able to get to us. Like we had guardian angels or something, like magic."
"What did you say?" Daryl asked.
"Like magic?"
"My grams used to tell me stories about magic. She said that we had magic once, and then it just stopped. I always thought she was touched, but listening to you. I think she was right."
"So you're saying magic is real?" Bob said looking incredulously at Daryl.
"Well with dead walking, yeah. If you were helped by magic, and you didn't see anything, then I bet it was elves."
"Elves?" Rick asked.
"Yes, elves. They can turn invisible and are right helpful." Daryl said.
"Look! I knew I heard something." Ty said as he pointed to small hand-prints on the roof of the van. Not only hand prints, but it looked like someone small had sat on the roof."
"Well I'll be damned. Elves", Daryl said scratching his head, "that means we do have someone looking out for us now. Elves belong to someone."
"What do you mean by belong?" Michonne said.
"They need magic to survive, wizard magic. Wizards take them into their family and the elves get to use their magic. Least that's what grams used to say."
"Well it can only be good news then. Maybe we'll meet them soon. We can always use more help." Rick said.
"What else did your grams say about magic?" Bob asked.
"Oh, lots of thing. I'll tell ya'll later, after we get the meds to everyone."
"Fine, we can talk later. Our people need those, so let's go." Rick said as he turned and lead them back into the prison.
(Inside Harry's trunk)
Dobby and Toby popped into the kitchen and were about to grab some food, when Winky told them that Harry wanted to see them. They quickly grabbed a sandwich each and headed for the living room.
They saw Harry and his family sitting around talking, so they waited for them to finish.
"You's wants to see us?" Dobby said.
"Yes Dobby. How did it go?"
"Goods. We's stay with you's mate and the others until they's got backs. Bobes has problems. He drinks and almost got killed saving his booze. Archer very mad at him. He be needing helps. Not bad guy just sicks." Dobby said.
"Ok, we can deal with that, Poppy has a potion for that. Anything else?"
"No." "Where be Falcon and doggie?" Toby said.
Harry's face turned murderous "Got bit."
"What happened?" Toby demanded.
Harry told them everything that occurred, and how Ron was the one responsible. "I's going to kills him." Dobby screamed. Everyone else but Harry flinched away from the elf as his magic whipped around him.
"No you are not. He will be sent to the goblins tomorrow. He will know why he is being sent and punished. No body will do anything to him here."
"Fines. But we's told you's that he couldn'ts be trusted to behave." Toby said.
"I know you did, but he was my first friend besides Hedwig and Hagrid. "Makes no difference if he tries to gets you killed. We serve you not him." Dobby said.
"I know. Tomorrow morning we will deal with this mess. Go see Falcon. See how he is doing. Rest. Tomorrow will be a long day."
"Yes Harry." They said popping out.
"I'm calling Griphook. He needs a heads up." Harry said as he dialed him. The phone rang twice, before Griphook picked up.
"Hello Harry. How are you doing?"
"Not good Grip."
"What happened? " So Harry explained what went on, and the outcome. All of a sudden you could hear, "HE DID WHAT? IS LORD BLACK ALL RIGHT? WHEN ARE YOU SENDING US, THAT NO GOOD, UNDESERVING, SON OF A OF A DWARF? HE WILL BE CLEANING DRAGON PENS FOREVER!"
"Tomorrow morning after we have talked to him. Falcon will be coming to you for treatment. He needs his arm fixed. You may have Flitwick, and Hagrid present as well as anyone else you see fit to be there. Lord Black will be fine. He just needs rest after the lycanthropy runs its course."
"The guard will be waiting for him in foyer of our home, we may just have him clear levels of walkers out of Gringotts. By himself."
"You should put an anti-animagus charm on him. You don't want him scurrying off."
"Great idea Lord Potter! May your gold flow and your enemies die upon you blades."
"May your clan prosper and your enemies fall before you."
Harry hung up the phone, and grinned the most evil grin anyone had ever seen on his face.
"The goblins will cure Ron of his attitude. Well time for bed, see you all in the morning", He said and apparated to his room.
"Looks like tomorrow will be a rather fun filled day. Goodnight." Draco said. There was a chorus of good-nights back and everyone headed to bed.
(The next morning)
Harry and company slowly made there way into the dining room. The elves had already set the table with food and drink for them, and were waiting for orders. Dobby and Toby were seated next to Harry's spot at the head of the table. Everyone grabbed a chair and some food and started eating. Poppy came in and said, "Sirius is awake and wants to see you."
"I'll be up to see him after breakfast", he said to Poppy.
"Winky."
"Yes Harry."
"Could you bring Siri some food please, and some pain potions, I'm sure he needs it after yesterday. Tell him, I'll be up to see him after I've eaten."
"Right away Harry."
Harry went back to eating, while everyone was looking at him, wondering what Harry had planned.
"Harry, mate what are you planning this morning", Neville asked.
"Just breakfast, a talk with Siri, a dressing down for Ron, seeing the goblins, then introductions at the prison. Not much."
"I'm glad..." said twin one.
"That your..." said twin two.
"Schedule is..."
"So small." They finished together.
"Well I could add a few more things, but then it would just be crazy."
"Right." Said Luna, "and I'm a nerf herder."
"Not my problem that you found some of your mysterious creatures and decided to raise them. I told you they like to sleep in you shoes, but NO!You just had to try." Harry said.
"Not funny Harry. They like my shoes." Neville said.
"Getting back in track." Remus said.
"Right. Ok, So I'm going to talk to Siri about what happened yesterday to see what he thinks is a good punishment. Then all of us are going to have a nice chat with Ron. After that Dobby, Toby, Falcon and I will be taking Ron to the goblins. Once we are done there we'll come back here, and take a few of you with us to visit the prison for a nice meet and greet."
"How to you plan in introducing us to them Harry", Bill asked.
"Just flashing in, so to speak." "Great, we'll be shot for sure. Just flashing in. Potter you do realize that not all of them are peaceful, some of these survivors we've spotted are worse than deatheaters."
"I know Draco, but but this group isn't. They are good people who are trying to raise kids."
"Fine, who to you want going with you besides the elves?" Charlie asked.
"Well...I was thinking Remus, Poppy, Bill, Neville, Luna, and maybe Molly. I want them to see that we have women in our group so they don't come out swinging so to speak."
"Well if Molly wants to to, then it is fine with me." Arthur said.
"Yes dear, I want to to. Dobby said they had little bones. I'm sure they could use some help." Molly said.
"Great, thank you Molly."
Everyone else agreed to to with Harry. With the stipulation that all would be in Armour, just in case.
"I want all of you to prepare while I talk to Siri, I want everything ready when we get back from the goblins. Ok, well I'm off to see Siri. TTFN." He said and popped out.
"I really don't want to know what Harry has planned. He looked scary." Neville said.
"Me neither." Arthur said.
"To right." The twins said.
"Well whatever he has planned, it will be interesting for sure. He isn't. Marauder 's son for nothing you know." Remmy said.
They all finished their breakfast and went to get ready for Harry's adventure.
Harry popped into Siri's room, finding him sitting in his bed staring out the window. He looked sad, and depressed. He was rubbing his callused hands over his face, and then down to his chest. He ran his right hand over his left arm inspecting Remus' bite. He knew what it meant, but didn't know how to feel about it.
"Sickle for your thoughts" , Harry said watching Siri jump a little.
"Harry... don't do that. You startled me."
"Sorry Siri, couldn't help it." Harry chuckled out his reply.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you have Mooney bite me?"
"Because I refuse to lose anyone else to those things outside. I love you Siri, more than you realize. I couldn't watch you turn into one of them, nor could I take your life."
"But what about Mooney? Did you think how he would feel about infecting me?"
"I did. I also thought how he would feel about watching his last best friend turn into a walker. The choice was simple...save you no matter how it had to be done. The lycanthropy destroyed the walker infection. You won't ever turn if bitten or scratched again. Your transformations will be easier too, since you are an animagus. You won't ever feel the pain Remus does."
Sirius hung his head as the reality sunk in. He would be a werewolf now, but he would survive.
"What are you planning for Ron"?
"Well, I wanted to see what you thought should happen to him. You were injured because of him. We haven't gotten his point of view yet, but I don't doubt that it will be some kind of excuse as to why he didn't follow orders. Some kind of childish tantrum. I may be wrong, but I doubt it."
"I think he should be unable to transform again for a while, he definitely should not go out on runs anymore. Maybe send him someplace where he understands hard labor. He's had a semi-soft life so far. Yeah, he didn't have a lot of money growing up, but he forgets neither did you. He had a loving family, you didn't. He needs to learn what his actions can cause."
"My thoughts exactly. After we talk to him, he will be going to Griphook."
"GOBLINS. WOW HARSH."
"NO NOT HARSH! HE was the one who ran off. HE was the one who didn't finish his job. HE was the one who caused you to get hurt, and Falcon. HE DID IT ALL."
"I get that, but goblins. They aren't the nicest beings, and they don't take kindly to their friends getting hurt."
"I know that, but after Minnie, they wanted his head to roll. They respected her, she was seen as a great warrior to them, and a friend. Griphook will be doling out his punishment. Hagrid, and Flitwick will be there too."
"Understood. Well... let's get this over with."
"Meet you in the living room." Harry said and popped out, letting Siri get himself ready. Sirius grabbed his clothes, and headed for a quick shower. Once done he got dressed and headed for the iving room. He walked in and found a pertified Ron sitting in a recliner. His eyes were darting around, looking for an escape, but finding none. "Good, looks like everyone is here now." Harry said indicating Sirius, "We can now get started on this little chit chat."
Harry unfroze Ron's mouth so he could respond.
"Do you know why you are here, tryssed up like you are Ronald?" Arthur asked.
"No. Last I remember was trying to escape some walkers in my form."
"That is precisely why you are hete Ronnie." Gred said.
"Do you know the damage you caused with your little stunt?" Forge said.
"What damage? Everyone's here. Nobody got hurt. Right?"
"NO RON. SIRIUS AND FALCON GOT HURT. THOSE PEOPLE AT THE PRISON NESRLY GOT OVERRUN, WHY? BECAUSE YOU LEFT YOU POST." Harry screamed, his magic flaring in a wide arch causing people to be pushed aside.
Ron looked at Harry in terror. He had never seen Harry this mad before not even when Moldyshorts was around. He gulped, "Sirius looks ok, and Falcon is just an elf. You have lots of them." That was the wrong thing to say to Harry.
*SMACK* Harry slapped Ron so hard that even pertified he was thrown from the chair to the floor.
"HOW DARE YOU. ALL THE ELVES HERE ARE PART OF MY FAMILY. I DON'T OWN THEM, THEY WORK FOR ME BECAUSE I TREAT THEM LIKE HUMAN BEINGS. FALCON MAY LOSE THEBUSE OF HIS ARM. HE NEARLY DIED. SIRIUS WAS INFECTED BY A WALKER TRYING TO SAVE YOU. DUKE WAS NEARLY OVERRUN, AND I WAS BITTEN. REMUS HAD TO TRANSFORM INTO MOONEY TO SAVE SIRIUS. THAT IS WHAT YOU CAUSED." All the while Harry's magic was pulsing, getting stronger as his rant went on. Suddenly Zeus, Hera and Cloe flashed into the room and began to sing. Cloe being a winter Phoenix was pure winter, her song soft and slow like the first snowfall of winter. Zeus was a fire Phoenix like Fawkes, with a nice melodious song, that was calming. Hera being a water Phoenix was shades of blue, her song loud like a rushing river, but just as serene as the rain. Slowly Harry's magic started to calm, and he was abke to pull much of I back into himself.
"You are here because, we, as a group feel that you cannot be trusted to protect others when left to your own devices." Charlie said, eyeing Harry to make sure he wouldn't lose it.
"But Harry looks OKAY." Ron said.
"That is because he can not die. He is immortal. He is the Master of Death." Bill said.
"But that is just a kids story."
"No Ronald, it isn't. Harry brought together all the hollows after the Battle of Hogwarts and became Master of Death. He has hidden it from veryone for years because he just wanted to be normal. Something you obviously don't remember Harry saying, year in and year out. How old do you think he looks? 34? 30? Well?" Hermione ranted. It was the most normal she had sounded since Minnie had died.
"Yeah, he looks his age. Why?"
"He uses glamours. He still looks like he did after the final battle. 17!" Molly said.
"So now he has eternal youth too. He gets everything! Money! Power! Immortality! Youth! and I'm stuck being just dumb old Ron. When do I get some of the glory? When do I get riches? When do I get to be in charge of everyone, like he does?"
"RONALD! You will be quiet and listen." Arthur said.
"You had everything Ron, you always did." Harry said sadly. "You had love, a family. Everything Harry craved growing up with those muggles." Neville said.
"Harry...you can't dilly dally with the goblins. You'll be needed at the prison soon." Luna said.
"Understood Luna. We'll be leaving soon."
"Goblins? What do you mean goblins?" Ron squeaked.
"Exactly what Harry said Weasley. The goblins are going to house you for the forseeable future. Your punishment for Minerva, Sirius and Falcon." Draco sneered at Ron.
"WHAT! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" "YESSSS, I CAN. YOU ARE LIVING IN MY HOUSE. YOU EAT MY FOOD, AND YOU DELIBERATELY HARMED MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY BY BEING SELFISH, CARELESS, AND JEALOUS." Harry said.
"Not once was I ever that mean or fruel to Harry in school. Yes, I fought with him, taunted him...but I never really meant it. I just wanted to have a real friend. Someone who wasn't bought by my father, someone who would see me for me. And you know what Weasley, I always knew Harry would be that person, and he is and then some. You make me ashamed to call myself a pureblood. It has always been halfbloods and first generations that have shown me what being a wizard, a friend, and a decent human being was like. You make me sick Weasley. You have thrown the best thing that ever happened to you away, because you are a jelous git." Draco said as he stood proudly by Hermione, grabbing her hand.
Everyne in the room was looking at Draco like he had grown a second head, except Harry and Hermione. They were smiling at him.
"You are more Slytherin than Gryffindor Ron." Neville said.
"We hope you learn your lesson with the goblins Ron", his parents said.
"Anyone else have anything to say before we leave?" Harry asked. There were shakes of heads in the negative, so Harry calked for the elves.
"Be ready to move out when I get back. I'll have the new armor with me."
"Be quick Harry. Just hand him over to them and get back." Luna said. He gave a quick bow of his head in acknowledgement and then popped out with Ron in tow.
"Ok, everyone let's get ourselves ready. Battle stations... I want you prepared for injuries, be ready to move out when Harry returns." Remus said as his eyes became amber. He was up for another fight against the waljers and whomever was going to attack his cub's mate. There was a flurry of action as people grabbed potion belts, weapons and extra wands. Soon, there would be mor people to house, so Mione set the elves to preparing space. He hated that they had to fight all the time, but soon they would be in a secure place.
(With the goblins, Potter property vermont)
Harry popped into the foyer with Ron, and immediately dropped him on the floor, right at the feet of Griphook, Ragnorok and his guard. He looked fear when he saw Flitwick and Hagrid come into the room with grim looks on their faces.
Harry bowed, "Good to see you Grip, Rag and company. May your enimies blood flow before you."
"Goid to see you too Harry, May your gold double and your family prosper." Griphook said.
"So this is the Weasley who has caused you and yours so much grief." Ragnarok said.
"Yes, he is here for punishment and reeducation. His family all agree, do with him what you will. Just don't kill him. You need to put anti-animagus charms on him so he doesn't escape your tender care." Harry said.
"We will take care of it." Griphook said as he motioned for some goblins to take him away.
"Flitwick and Hagrid, good to see you both. How are you doing?"
"Great Harry. I've found a mate." Flitwick said.
"Good on you mate." Harry said snd gave him a hug. He turned just in time to receive a huge hug from Hagrid. "Sur glad ta see ya Arry. We'll take care of Ron. He can help me with the dragons." he said with a wicked grin on his face. "Glad to know he will be in good hands," Harry said and turned to Griphook, "Can't stay long. I need to get back, we have some muggles to rescue."
"That's fine Harry. Stop I for a chat when you can. Oh, here is the Basalisk armor you wanted made. We got 100 pairs out of the hide. They have all the protective charms on them we could muster. Yours is the black one. Thank you for the meat. We love it."
"Thank you Griphook, these will make me feel better about sending peole out."
"Your welcome. We wi take your elf t the medical wing for treatment. He should be fine in a couple of days, a week at the most."
"Appreciate it. TTFN Griphook."
"Bye Harry." was chorused by every goblin, Flitwick and Hagrid as he flamed out with Dobby and Toby.
"Do you think he realizes that he uses Phoenix travel when he's human?" Griphook asked.
"Nope, but when has Harry ever been normal." Flitwick said as he started laughing.
(Back to home)
Harry flamed into the living room where everybody was waiting.
"Just on time Harry. Go change and get ready. I'll give out the armor." Luna said.
"Thanks Luna, be right back." he said as he flamed out.
Luna passed out armor to everyone. Those who we're going with Harry put theirs on, the rest put them aside. She found 10 that were smaller than the rest and handed them to Dobby.
"Looks like the goblins knew you would need these."
"We be needing these. They's will help keeping us safe." Dobby said taking them from her. He snapped his fingers and was in his armor. Toby did the same.
"Eric, Reggie", Dobby called.
They popped in and he handed them each a set. "Get's dressed, we leaving to help Harry's mate soon."
Two mor snaps and they were dressed I their armor. Dobby banished the rest to the elven house and summoned teir weapons. When he was done, Harry flamed back in.
"All right everyone, grab a tail feather and we'll be off shortly." Just as he said that his Phoenix flamed in. Tailes were grabbed and he looked at his meet and greet group, then his eyes swept over the remaining people who would be waiting for their return. "I'm proud of you all. You are all my family, always remember that. No matter what happens, all of you are my family. Draco, you have made me very proud of you big brother. Watch after Mione for me will you?" he said and then they were gone.
"Wow. I never thought anyone would feel that way about me." Draco said.
"Harry always sees the truth in people. He always knew who you were Draco. He just needed you to see it for yourself." Luna said as she came up and hugged him.
(Inside the fenses at the prison)
Harry and company flamed into the prison proper to see a stand off. There was a froup of people outside the fenses holding two hostages, one woman and an older gentleman. Rick and everyone else were trying to talk the leader down. It was very tense, but their flahing in caused a spanner to be thrown into the works. The orison group turned around and raised guns at the. The oeople outside raised guns at them. Harry and company dropped to the ground as bullets went flying where their heads used to be.
"Dobby, get the hostages out of there now." Harry screamed as he lifted a hand and produced a powerful shield around his group. Dobby popped to the hostages, grabbed them and was gone.
The leader screamed, just as he was about to cut the old man's head off, he disappeared. Both of his prisoners were gone. It looked like they were going to fire the tank to bust down the gate to get in.
"Remus, Bill the tank. Take it out now. Everyone else you know what to do. Take out walkers, cover the muggles. Wounded go to Poppy. Molly cover the children." Harry barked and his people scattered to do his bidding. Bill and Remus popped to the tank and cast fiendfyre on it. The metal began to bubble and melt, the screaming from the people stuck inside the tank was horrific, but they didn't stop. They held the fire until the tsnk was a molten mess. Several people tried to shoot them, but coukdn't get padt Reggies shield. Once done Remus turned to the people and went feral. His eyes became amber and he rushed after the men. Grabbing them snd cracking heads together. He ried arms off people, using them as clubs to bash othets with. Bill transformed into his animagus form, a Nundu. He charged after the people looking for the one who had the sword. He found him trying to hide behind a car. He grabbed him by the legs and bit down breaking his legs and back and dragging him over the ward line. Harry was using his swords to take out walkers left and right, while making sure none got close to the prison. Neville was covering his back, when he noticed more walkers coming from the forest.
"Harry we have more walkers coming. We need to take care of this mess now." Nevilke said.
Harry turned his head and saw the horde coming. "Right Neville, call everyone back. Cover the muggles. Dragon shields full strength." He said and Neville's eyes bulged out. Neville used a sanorus spell and said, "Fall back, protect the muggles full strength dragon shields."
Suddenly there were pops and all the wizards were standing in front of the muggles, they raised their wands high, slashed them from right to left across their bodies, and intoned as one, "DRACONIS PROTEGO MAXIMUS."
A bright green shield, with red and yellow streaks that looked like fire, popped up around all the muggles outside. The shield was semi-opaque which allowed the muggles to see what was happening. What they saw nearly made them pass out. The dark haired man that was giving the orders was being surrounded by walkers, when all of a sudden he started to grow and change. He transformed into a great big black dragon. Then the dragon started to smash, bite, stomp, and breath fire. Walkers were catching on fire and melting before they took two steps, those he stepped on, never got up again. The ones he bit turned to ash as he injected them with liquid fire from his fangs. Soon the horde was gone, and the remainder of the people on the other side of the fense were either runing away, or became walker food.
Harry transformed back into himself cast a shield to block the gate, so no more walkers could get through and turned to the leader who was trying to crawl away from him.
"Where do you think you are going?" he growled.
"What are you?" he squeaked out, still trying to get away.
"I am a wizard you filthy muggle. Why were you attacking these god people?"
"G..oo..d people? They came into my town, blew it up and killed my little girl. They aren't good people."
"He's lying! He had one of ours locked up. He wanted Michonne because she killed the walker that was his daughter. He just wants to raid this place for supplies, and kill all the men." Rick said.
"No. She killed my daughter."
"She was already dead. You are just an evil bastard. Governor." Michonne said.
"Who wants to do the honors?" Harry asked.
"I do. He killed my best friend by leaving her tied up with a walker." Michonne said as she headed for Harry.
The shield stopped her, and she looked at him.
"Drop the shield guys. I'm fine, I won't dragon out again."
They dropped the shield to let her out, and Harry walked to the rest of the group. Michonne nodded to Harry as she passed him. She reached the governor, took her sword and stabbed him in both arms and then sliced his throat. She wited for him to turn and then stabbed him in the head. She walked back to the rest of the group wiping the blood off on the ground.
"Hi, I'm Harry Potter, and these peole are Bill Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Remus Lupin, Molly Weasley, and Poppy Pomfrey. The little guys are my elves, Toby, Reggie, Eric and Dobby.
"I told you last night, that we were being watched over." Daryl said.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"That would have been because of me," Ty said raising his hand, "I heard some talking last night...squeaky like on the van, but nothing was there."
"We found handprints on top of the van." Rick said.
"I told them some stuff that my gran told me. What I remembered anyway." Daryl said.
"Harry. Do you think some of these people could be squibs?" Neville asked.
"It's possible. Poppy can you do a magical scan of everyone here?"
"Sure, as soon as I finish with Hershal. He had some scrapes and bruises. I want to check out that young lady who was rescued too."
"So...why are ya'll here? Nnot that we don't appreciate the help, but why?" Maggie said.
"Because we've been searching for survivors trying to protect them, or relocate them to safe places." Bill said.
"We saw a farm a while back with lots of people on it. We tried to ward it for walkers, but they wouldn't hold." Remus said.
"That was our farm." Hershal said.
"We had problems from within." Glen said, looking over at Rick.
"Well that explains it." Remus said.
Meanwhile, Poppy as finishing up with Michonne and was getting ready to do some scans of the group, when she heard a baby cry.
"You have a baby? Where is it? I need to check for illnesses, and to see how it is."
"That would be my daughter. Beth has her, hold on. Beth bring out Judith. be Ok. They are here to help."
Beth brought out Judith from their hifing spot snd slowly made her way to Rick. She handed her over, and went to hide behind her dad. Rick held Judith while Poppy ran some scans.
"She seems to be ok, not malnourished, close to weight, healthy. Athough she will need vaccines." Poppy ran a scan on Rick, and then Carl. "What are you doing?" He adked as he felt the magic wash over him.
"Checking to see if you have magic, and paternaty of your kids."
"Why?"
"Sometimes you think kids belong to someone, but they were actually fathered by someone else."
At this news, everyone was on pins and needles waiting for yhe answer.
"Congratulations, both are yours." she said.
Rick sighed at the news, he had alwsys wondered if Judith was Shane's and now he knew for sure.
Poppy continued the scans for latent magic, when she got to Daryl she froze. The color drained from her face, and she turned to Harry.
He saw that the color had drained from her and was worried she found something that wasn't right, or life threatening. "What is it Poppy?"
"You aren't going to like this, and neither is this young man."
"What is it?"
"Well he is a wizard, or should I say could be one."
"Now you aren't making sense. My gran said that there wasn't no wizards in my family for ages. Just regular folk." Daryl said.
"That's because your line was cursed. It would only produce squibs, but that isn't all."
"Well, what is it?" Neville asked.
Slowly the elves were surrounding Harry, they new he was going to explode. Bill saw them moving and grabbed Charlie to help if needed. They moved closer to Harry and drew their wands, but kept them hidden.
"His magic has been bound and blocked. There are several on him, and they all have the same signature."
"What? Who?" Harry said in a calm voice that sent shivers down everyones's spines.
"Dumbledore."
"WHAT! THAT NO GOOD CONIVING, BACK STABBING, MANIPULATIVE OLD GOAT! HE'S LUCK HE'S ALREADY DEAD. I SHOULD RESERECT HIM AND KILL HIM AGAIN!" Harry screamed and his magic exploded outwards lifting peole off their feet and slamming them to the floor.
