"Look Dumbledore, I know what you are going to say, that this guy shouldn't have killed them in the first place, and the only reason he revive them is that he wanted to use them, but you don't seem to understand this, this was not a simple act of a bunch of idiots causing problems, they attacked a muggle pub fully intending to kill everyone there, too bad for them these two just happen to be present."
Dumbledore didn't like the idea of people dying, but he understood this quite well, he still had horrible memories of when he fought in a war, but this couldn't be like that, it was just some guys getting ruff with the muggles, there is no way that something as bad as that could be happening now. "You said he left some of them alive to deliver a message and that two girls from the Black family told you that message, who are they? and what was the message?"
Alastor looked at him and began to shake his head, "Bellatrix Black and someone who introduced herself as Delphini, who was introduced as the daughter of Bellatrix, and the message was to tell Tommy that the war is not going to go as he plans, that the Storm Breaker and Storm Crusher was going to be in his way."
Dumbledore asked who are those people that apparently took up such flamboyant monikers? "One is Harry Potter and the other was a guy who introduced himself as Neville Longbottom, you can imagine my shock when I met these two, they told me what happened and for a minute there I tried my best to get the truth from them, even spiked some tea with truth serum."
"The real shocking thing is the guy named Neville could tell immediately what the potion was, and he even told me that it wasn't even needed since they were not going to lie to me at all. They gave me a bottle that apparently contained the memories of a version of me from a different time, I had a really tough time getting my head clear after gaining all those memories, let me tell you, what is worse is that before they left the guy named Harry gave me two bottles much like the one I drank and told me one contained the memories of you and the other contained the memories of Minerva. Told me to give them to you, allowing you to better understand who and why they do the things they do. They ain't poisoned I can assure you."
As soon as Dumbledore drank the potion intended for him and his mind worked to incorporate the memories that were inside, he began to cry, not for himself but because he realized what had happened to these two young men, three generations of Potter's erased from existence and Neville's father, gone from the minds of everyone as if they didn't ever exist and was replaced. This was simply too horrific and that is why he began to cry, thanks to what he drank he could remember meeting the family members of the Potter and Longbottom families that were long gone.
As he was crying Minerva upon seeing him she immediately asked him what was wrong, why was he crying, and what had happened to make him feel this much sorrow? Dumbledore only told her to drink, as he handed her the bottle intended for her. Much like when it happened with Alastor and Dumbledore her mind went through all the memories, and slowly began to incorporate them into her mind, she saw her students, her friends, and fellow members of the Order of the Phoenix, and realized that two families had something horrible done to them.
"This is why these two are doing what they are, because of what happened to them, and are trying to do something to prevent this from happening to everyone else, they live in the world after being removed from the memories of all that live on it. Nobody remembers them and thus their fate is darker than being a ghost, for people still remember who the person was even as a ghost."
Dumbledore looked at both Minerva and Alastor after saying this, and Minerva tried very hard to remain calm and hold back her tears, "It seems those two were really the heroes we need, but even after this happened to them, they are still trying to do their duty and fight against the evil that threatens us all. We can only hope that by doing this, they will be able to make a new life for themselves and find some sort of happiness. The world would be far too cruel if that didn't happen, or at least I think so."
Alastor told them that both Harry and Neville also told him something as they left, a warning, that someone close to Dumbledore will break out of his confinement and once again walk his path with renewed vigor, that made Dumbledore realize what they meant by this, "I don't know when but I know for certain that I must speak with them because I suspect that the one they are talking about is Grindelwald, and according to what they told you he will escape and something will happen to make him stronger than he currently is. I don't know what they mean by that."
That is when Alastor realized that he was given another item, a mirror, but somehow he never figured out why did Harry give him that item, it was something that apparently he made, but didn't tell him what was it used for. He immediately took out the mirror from his pocket and enlarged it to be the size of a standing mirror and as soon as the light hit the surface and reflected on a nearby wall, two men were seen being projected on the wall of the room.
"It seems the time for us to talk with you has come at last, we knew this was going to happen so we are always ready to talk with you whenever you finally gave the memories back to the headmaster and deputy headmistress. You must have questions so please, feel free to ask but know our time must be limited lest some of our enemies overhear us."
Dumbledore simply asked what did they mean about Gellert, Harry decided to answer him, "Grindelwald will more than like be visited by the person who caused the change in our world to happen, when this happens Gellert will be granted back his youth, and he will once again have his wand once again, which means there will be two copies of the Elder Wand, I know you still have it, professor, but this person will simply give him one from another time, or the one where he never lost it in the first place. It is even worse than you think because if this happens there are no longer one but two dark lords and each has their own goals and ambitions, this war just got a lot worse than it should be."
As Dumbledore heard this he realized that maybe, just maybe they could end up in a situation where Grindelwald and Voldemort could both want to take over the world, and having both of them fight each other could in fact end up causing the deaths of so many innocent people, it's not even funny.
Harry on the other hand had a much more simple problem, he and Neville needed to find a way to make some money without having to create a dungeon to create items, which they could sell because the shops that would buy them would ask where these things came From? Unlike most places, these shops actually could simply refuse to give them any money and accuse them of theft, which would limit how much they could do against Voldemort and Grindelwald.
Neville told Harry that would never happen, that no one is sent to prison without a trial to which Harry simply said only one thing, Sirius Black. "The main problem we have to contend with is we first need access to a bank to be able to exchange our money, and for that, we need a bank account, so that means we need to visit Gringots. I do believe that this will be quite beneficial for me since I am a descendant of the Peverell Family, so I might get access to my ancestors and family vaults. All in all, there could be quite a bit of money. Considering that both of my ancestor's brothers died out."
Neville was quick to mention that yes, he knows so stop rubbing it in, "I know you are the descendant of one of the three fabled brothers, so stop it mentioning it every chance you get. Do I need to remind you of your cousin Tom every time you do to make you stop?" Harry had to tell Neville that was a particularly low blow, especially coming from the man who once was the Head of House Hufflepuff.
This actually made no sense to Harry, how did Neville end up being head of House Hufflepuff since when he was a student he had been a Gryffindor? To which Neville told him he can think about that sort of stuff later but right now they need to deal with the people that surrounded them, it seems that Tommy got the message and was not particularly happy about it, and sent a group of his minions to get rid of them.
One of the men who sort of reminded Harry of the person who he threw that bottle and burned with his spells walked near them, "Well you certainly didn't disappoint, you were aware that we were tracking you, not bad, you did upset Lord Voldemort but rather than to kill you, we are here first to invite you to come with us and meet with our Lord, he has some questions for you. Personally I rather you refuse and let me get some revenge for the murder of my brother Rodolfus, but I was told to make you the offer."
"Alright Harry, we are apparently alone here, so we don't have to worry about people getting caught in our fight, you had your fun in that last fight, why don't you let me have this one and you take care of the repairs? Sound fair?" Harry he was all for that, might as well let his friend also have some fun. Some of the enemies began to remark that this is no game and that since they refused they would make them suffer in ways that both he and his friend would rather die than experience, it would have been a lot more merciful had they chosen to take them up on their offer.
Neville quickly took what looked to be a plain ordinary grocery store cabbage and he tossed two on the ground, which quickly became eight, and the cabbages began to move on their own, before the enemy could even act he pulled out a mandrake and with a little tap on the head, the mandrake began to scream on command paralyzing all the enemies in front of them, and that is when the cabbages got close to them and began to attack them like they had been feral hungry wolves.
The cabbages bite them in such ways that they died screaming in agony from massive blood loss and ate their arms and legs, leaving them as nothing but their torsos which had been bitten many times as the cabbages tried to eat the bodies, "Neville I often forget how absolutely brutal you can be when you used plants, honestly, this was worse than what I did at the pub. Come on Neville help me resurrect this useless bunch and help regrow their limbs." They should be happy that he didn't use some Devil's Snare on them, it is night and that plant can be even more terrible than people realize.
As soon as the ones they revived ran away from them, scared after Harry told them that their precious leader Tom will need to do a lot better if he wants to even think of pulling this kind of shit on them. As soon as they were gone Harry put the one that was the brother of what he knew was the guy who he killed at the pub, in his inventory, the idiot actually thought his brother was still dead.
They both apparated to the ministry, to be more specifically Moody's office which cause Alastor quite the shock. Harry walked up to Moody who apparently was not happy that he had entered his office without notice or being invited inside, "Don't look at us like that Moody, we didn't come without reason, some of these idiots attacked us again, don't worry we already took care of them, but we still have one with us which we brought as a gift." Immediately Harry dumped the body on the office floor, Alastor asked him what exactly is he supposed to do with a corpse?
Harry used his magic and the formerly dead idiot began to scream in sheer terror like he had seen hell and was brought back to life, "There, no biggie, now you can question this moron! He and his band tried to kill us in an alley, couldn't get more cliche if they tried. No better than some fucking muggers."
That is when Rabastan began to glare at Harry and Neville and screamed that they had no right to call them anything since they are psychopathic monsters that make them look like freaking boy scouts! "You killed my brother by dosing him with booze, and lighting him on fire, and your maniac of a friend killed me and my friends using fucking cabbages! I never want to see a cabbage for as long as I live, and you call us heartless! They ate my arms and legs and killed me, look at me! Do you think this is being merciful?"
That is when Moody asked what did he mean by Neville killing them using cabbages? Did he put poison in food or what? Neville told Alastor that he didn't do much, he only used some of his herbology skills and used half a dozen chomping cabbages and a pair of rather young mandrakes. Neville looked at Rabastan and told him he did take it easy on them, he had plants that are much more painful and terrifying that he could have used.
Harry also looked at him and told him that much like the people who attacked the pub that reported to Tommy, his brother Rodolphus was alive and the only thing is that he is in custody, he will end up very much like his brother going to prison for what they had done after they are done with their questioning and trial.
That is when Rabastan asked Neville and Harry what they get for fighting against the Knights of Walpurgis, they are powerful so they could easily rise through the ranks and become high-ranking members, and if everything they had planned once the Ministry is gone they could gain riches, fame, glory, not to mention a sweet position on the new government. Moony was listening intently as he was trying to figure out a way to counter their obvious recruitment tactics.
"Well, the thing is, your group are what we like to call blood purists, which simply doesn't go well with either of us, Neville doesn't like the notion of discriminating, he treats everyone as equals, that goes to what most people call magical creatures, he treats them the same as people, as long as they are sentient. He is from a pure-blood family that is true, but he has many friends that would be harmed by your group's actions, he has muggle friends, centaurs, merfolk, elves, dwarves, goblins, and all kinds of people as friends."
"He is the sort that can speak with snakes, talked to dragons, swim down to merfolk villages, had an arm wrestling match with a troll, and even went to talk about mountain trails with giants, but that is the sort of guy he is, makes friends with almost anyone that he can talk with and usually gets along with them, me, on the other hand, would never be welcomed because while my father was pure blood, my mother was a muggle, so my very existence is what your group calls a blood traitor. So there is no way that I could get along with you, especially since Tommy would focus on trying to get me killed or causing my death no thanks to a prophecy that involves both of us."
Neville decided to say something else, "I really hate bullies, no matter the race or species, I can't stand bullies. And Tom Riddle is nothing more than one big bully, he wants to take over the world and I honestly don't think he will be willing to share anything good that comes from it, you would be replacing the ministry with a dictator who thinks of people as nothing more than tools. Honestly, I wouldn't put it past him to use some of you for some sick ritual or send a whole bunch of you to your deaths if it means him getting a little closer to his goals, or as a meat shield to protect himself."
Rabastan was quick to mention that what he was doing is putting the world right by making sure that pureblood families regain their positions of power as they had been in the ancient past, and this would bring order and peace to at first England, but later could encompass the other parts of the British Isles, and even the world. Neville was quick to mention that under his command he would be willing to sacrifice entire families, all of which are as he called them purebloods to ensure his own ascension to be the ruler of the world, Neville even said that he wouldn't put it past him to sacrifice everyone the minute they succeeded to try and ascend something akin to godhood.
Rabastan wanted to deny that but he remembered the many times that members of the Knights failed to meet the expectations or orders that were given by their lord, most of them were tortured into insanity, and many others were executed as examples to the others, of what is the price for failure. "Look you may believe in his pack of lies, but both I and Neville know that Tommy only cares about himself and how this benefits him and him alone.
"So do yourself a favor and just tell him everything you know about this terrible group and maybe, just maybe you can plea bargain a reduction on your lengthy sentence to Azkaban, which I don't need to remind you is home to thousands if not millions of Dementors. You do know how to cast a Patronus without a wand, don't you? No, well you might consider my advice. Cause those kisses are not exactly the romantic type."
Neville told Harry that as much fun as it was for him to be doing this to the idiot in what once was his old office might be fun for him, they needed to go and help a certain person who they couldn't waste any more time dealing with this guy, "Hope this helps you Moody, say hello to McGonnagal and Dumbledore for us since you are more than likely going to tell them all about this."
Moony was shocked at what he saw but he did ask them if would they rather stay and have a drink and a meal with him, so that he could ask them how in the world did they do this? Neville told him that as lovely as that would be they were in fact in a hurry, they needed to open a bank account, access some of their family vaults, and get some money exchanged, so it was going to be a rather busy day, never mind stopping magic hating muggle from beating his wife's skull in because she is a witch and potentially abusing and doing other horrible things to their child.
Moody had to ask who the hell were they talking about, to which Harry simply said a distant cousin of his, a family that came from ancestors that were brothers to his, so no time, but if he really must know it was the Prince family that they needed to save, so without further mention they apparated out of the office and near the home of Eileen Prince and apparently her husband was still on his rant that all magic was things that could only be done by making a deal with the devil.
Neville decided to walk over to the man named Tobias and stopped him from hitting Eileen one more time, and glared at him as he held his hand, "This has nothing to do with you, so butt the hell out, I need to beat the stupid out of her, so all that crazy nonsense she calls magic is gone, it is the only way to treat sinners like her."
Neville looked at the man with a cold stare that made him shut up, "Sir, I happen to know on good authority that magic has never needed a deal with the devil to allow people to use it, in fact, witches have been quite the aid to monarchs in many regions. Some go as far as to call the ability to use magic a blessing from god. So don't try that bullshit with me, you are never going to hit that woman again if I have anything to do about it!"
Tobias ranted that she was his wife, no better than his property, and he could do whatever the hell he wanted with her or their child, the idiot tried to pull out a firearm until Neville told him to go ahead and shoot, once the idiot shot Neville simply stood there as nothing even happened, instead he was holding the bullet in his hand. "You simmering brainless buffoon, magic is the very thing that connects reality, it is everywhere, and anywhere it can do anything the imagination can conjure, and it is only limited by the mind of the user, I could let you shoot that peashooter at me all day and this would be the result every single time. I can reduce you to the size of an ameba, or turn you into something less than the spit of a worm, keep this in mind since I am being quite merciful. Leave the Prince Family alone, or I will make you live a life where hell will seem like a dream by comparison, are we clear?"
Tobias stood there thinking of a way to threaten him but after what he saw, he knew that he was not going to be able to frighten him if the piss running down his leg was any indication, this person had frightened him worse than he ever realized. "Fuck it, I want his bitch and her fucking turd of a daughter gone from my home, I rebuke her and her spawn, I will not have devil worshippers in my home! Take the bitch and her mongrel away, and I will be ever so grateful to you for relieving me of their stain in my life!"
Neville walked over to Eileen who was wearing rags and she was holding a young girl close to her, "You two can relax, you have nothing to fear from me or my friend, we have come to save you, but first and foremost, we need to do something about what you both are wearing, it will simply not do to have such a beautiful young woman and her child wearing that, will not do at all."
Neville quickly pulled out his wand and with a swift movement of his wand the clothes they were wearing became much, much better, a delicate and beautiful set of clothes for mother and daughter, "As for your husband you don't need to worry, the Goblins at the bank offer legal services, they will take care of your divorce and do not worry, the Prince family is more than capable of paying for a good standard of living with the interest from your family vault. But first and foremost I am Neville Longbottom, the gentleman near me is Harry James Potter, may we know your names?"
The young woman looked at Neville and smiled, "I am Eileen Prince as you wisely guessed, and this is my daughter Severina, no need to be afraid, I don't think these two came to help us to do anything bad to us." Severina simply walked over to Neville and asked him more and more questions about magic, Harry was happy to answer some of the questions she had, and she found it rather amusing that so many of the problems muggles seem to have could be so easily solved by magic.
