[a/n0]During my whole postings there's been a thread, when bad behavior is involved, to criticize the whole Magical World. Not that I disagreed, because, well, many of my shorts do just that. But anyone notice this? In CoS Tom's Diary introduces Harry to the first opening of the Chamber. The date displayed is JUNE 13. About the end of the school year. Looks like Dumbledore was just following Dippet's example at 'the safe place in the world'

[a/n-1] Something crazy from PoA the movie [didn't have the book handy] But the trio climb into a compartment with Professor RJ Lupin. Ron is carrying his pet Scabbers. And? Nothing? The rodent 3 feet AT MOST from the werewolf? For how much of the trip?

[a/n]As with #49 thru #54, I credit both the ranter TGGirlHaileyHolly and polarbear20000. Sequelizes my EFFF You Harry story, from early 2017. I've incorporated all the themes the PM hit and quoted parts to explain Lady Nirvana. Don't know if TGGirlHaileyHolly has been following because I've seen neither review nor followup PM.

[a/n1]polarbear20000 observed "Leto Lynch" made me think of Duke Leto Atreides and David Lynch of the 80's Dune movie. Yes, I've used Dune themes more than once in my collection. And Leto definitely is. Fits well with Luna. Actually, the Lynch I was thinking of was Evanna. A coincidence.

Harry Does Different CDLXXXIIIag

Dark Lady Nirvana VII

"Welcome to the Hogwarts Express pre-action briefing." Harry spoke with wry coolness as the deadline for apparations to come in passed. And that was Susan's cue to put up the last ward. He went on "No one can now leave the train in any magical manner. Any attempt to board will be drawn here and no where else."

Watch Commander Proudfoot wanted to know "I know of no such ward. And we should have felt it assemble."

"That's classified, Auror." Said Harry "Considerable work has been put into making this train the absolutely most nearly impregnable place on the planet."

Nearly as notable a presence, a large black man commented "That kind of spending would have been noticed by someone."

"Minister Shacklebolt", Susan addressed him by his former title as custom required "with our short time, accept the answer of classified. Only five people know that answer, two of which are here."

Kingsley added sardonically "The notion of impregnable is right up there with unsinkable."

"Minister, that refers to the defensive installations." Harry was as respectful despite his current authority "My plan is to do all we can to end Lady Nirvana as completely as possible. Today. Everyone, Intelligence learned that the Express was being attack. The best way to defeat her is to allow it, and overwhelm them. Anticipating the objections, I'm fully aware some of you have children aboard. Four of ours are too. Susan is. Luna would be, were she not ready to pop."

Kingsley wanted to know "My purpose here? I resigned to become Minister, then when Hermione was ready to run, I decided to write my memoirs."

"Damn sight better than Magical Me." Offered Harry to some mild chuckling.

Susan answered "Sir, you have an excellent strategic mind your battlefield leadership was proven against Voldemort. I think everyone here knows you shouldn't be on the front line, but we'll all take your orders." To that, even Harry nodded.

"In the corner there are 20 Invisibility Cloaks. After we leave the station, you will scatter among the cars. Any animagi will use your forms to supplement them." Harry ordered "None of us were able to learn the time of the attack, so remain in place until it starts. We're counting on the wards, spells and curses we've set to kill most. Those of us out there will have the primary task of defending the children. Don't hesitate to kill, Lady Nirvana won't."

Proudfoot had to ask "Invisibility Cloaks are insanely costly. Where did they come from."

"Watch Commander" Susan answered flatly "To your question, we have no answer."

"I suppose we are as ready as can be, Claude." Lady Nirvana was in a brown mood as she spoke to her partner in Haitian French "Have you any criticism, of however minor a nature?"

The powerful Voodoo user shook his head "Your plan is as good as, I myself, could have done." He certainly did not lack for ego. "Demoralization of your country with the disappearance of so many of their offspring will be the perfect prelude to its conquest."

"Your approval warms me no end." You didn't need to speak the language to hear her sarcasm "Preparing to depart, we haven't decided on the approach. Portkey, apparation or broom?"

She shrugged "It matters little. Though broom would more greatly ensure OUR personal safety."

"I was given to understand your school train could not possibly be defended as to threaten our force." He almost got suspicious.

The Lady pointed out "It concerns me that Harry hasn't been seen in at least five days."

"No one wizard could change the outcome of our attack." Claude boasted "I …personally… would welcome his death."

She hissed and slapped the man, hard, promising "Anyone killing him, even accidentally…I will kill, VERY SLOWLY… And include YOU in that. I'm clear?"

"That is foolishness." He countered "If he is there, he should be taken out."

Ginny's Wand out in a flash, The Lady snarled "One, I can conceive of no reason for his presence on The Express. But, if per chance he is, I… and ONLY I… will deal with him. To make sure, I will apparate aboard very early in the attack to make that determination. Two, remember my previous promise."

"AS you wish …Lady." Claude's voice was silky.

An hour later, the Hogwarts Express was nearing the last bridge between the Scottish Highlands and England. Three large groups of flyers, not all on brooms; there were other magical methods of flight; were closing from different directions, on the train. Far above, so high as to be indetectable, Mordechai Berrycloth was watching: And taking aim with his wand.
