To the ministry and most of the magical world, it was a rather shock then suddenly the King of the Goblin Nation declared in every newspaper, publication, and interview that the long-standing feud between Goblins and the magical community made up of wizards and witches is at long last over.
The long-standing animosity and resentment would no longer interfere with their working together a much more fruitful and prosperous relationship. It was something that the reporters who interviewed the goblin king had to ask why so suddenly after so many goblin rebellions and wars, the only answer was that at long last he had seen two wizards who were willing to learn and respect their way of doing things, to go as far as to treat them as equals to the point that these two men learned to speak the native language of goblins.
"Many have called our language insulting things like Goblidigup, or some derogatory name, but these two young men showed me something that I had never seen or would ever expect, they gave me hope that one day wizards and witches will accept all sentient magical beings, and a truly magical community could be achieved. It was often thought to be a pipe dream by my people but to me, that is no longer such a thing, it is a dream that could very well come true if we work hard to make it so."
When asked who these two wizards were the reporters only saw the goblin king laugh and told them that he could not tell them that, but what he could tell them was that these two earned the right to see him in private by being two of the most accomplished bounty hunters who ever worked with Gringotts. "I can't tell you their names, for one they requested that I never do that, and for another, these two are my good friends and the last thing I want is for people to try and harm them, but since you seem so eager, I will do one kindness for you, I shall tell you the names they go by as bounty hunters, you might not know them, but those that commit evil in the shadow do or will, they are called the Storm Brothers because one is called the Storm Breaker and the other is called the Storm Crusher."
As these interviews were spread through wireless broadcasts of the interview, and on the Daily Prophet, the news that these two men have at long last brought peace between magical humans and goblins was again shocked. Still, many celebrated this by saying that at long last they could go into Gringots without fearing that another goblin war or rebellion could happen in the future. The Ministry of Magic wanted to know immediately where these two were and not to give them an award like an order of merlin badge but rather the Minister was angry that these two had achieved something that the Ministry had failed to do in hundreds of years.
At the same time Bellatrix and Delphini were finally getting settled down in their family home, if they had anything shocking was the speed at which Delphini was accepted, if she was accepted at all. Her mother knew better than to take things at face value and knew more than anyone that Walpurga was more than likely planning to use them for some purpose that served her interests, it was not unexpected in a pure-blood family, considering how quickly she changed her mind after she was informed that the man who at one point she had considered the champion of the pure blood elites, and finding out that he, in reality, was someone of mixed heritage, some would call that half-blood but many blood purist would call him a blood traitor.
Bellatrix had once believed that having pure magical blood made them invincible, mightier than those that had muggle blood, but upon seeing what happened in that pub, made her realized how wrong she was and how right the one that called himself the Storm Breaker was. She couldn't help but blush thinking about how magnificent he was when he killed the others that attacked the pub, it was ruthless, killing without any hesitation, and what was even stranger was that he was using magic people learn during their first years in Hogwarts, so basic magic, and his power was so great that it made those simple spells an absolute terror in battle, which in truth was a major turn on for Bellatrix, and if she was honest even her daughter.
As the two were finally getting comfortable in their room, Delphini heard someone knock at their door, Bellatrix wanted to see who would come to their room so late and decided to answer and see who it was, it must have been someone very important. She was not expecting to see them so soon, as both Andromeda and Narcissa apparently wanted to talk with their sister and especially meet their little niece.
"Well I was not expecting to see both of you here, and at this hour, but never mind what can I help you with?" Andromeda was more direct than her other sisters and she flat out told her that they wanted to hear about what caused such a commotion with everyone in their family, and made Walpurga change her decision to offer her support to this supposed man who called himself Lord Voldemort.
"Honestly this is crazy, the entire reason why she allowed you and that man who was supposed to be your future husband to join in that little hunt of theirs was to act as a sort of initiation and recruitment into the Knights of Walpurgis, but seeing how she was screaming that the man who she once was in favor of offering our family support should be instead hunted down and killed like he is a mongrel. You can't possibly blame us for wanting to know what happened in your little trip with Rodolpus."
Narcissa was looking at Bellatrix and she could see something was on her sister's mind, "I don't see what could have happened, if anything I expect you and Rodolphus had a great time hunting down those vermin, but instead you return, share your memories and those memories cause our aunt to do a one-eighty and change her previously iron-clad goal of backing up that group that wants to eliminate all the filth and bring pure-blood families to their rightful position of power. So come on Bella, tell us what the hell happened?"
Bellatrix sat down on an armchair in her room and looked at her sisters, "What happened is I watched all those that went to kill those muggles end up getting annihilated, I saw the guy who was supposed to be my equal or even stronger than I was get roasted like a marshmallow in a campfire, two izards were present in that pub, not a single muggle suffered any injuries at all, not even a hair was harmed, thanks to one of them protecting those muggles like he was a fucking mother dragon protecting her eggs. The other wizard was death incarnate, he utterly eliminated all of the men that went in the group, and he even overpowered me and took my wand from my hand, I wondered why the hell didn't I get killed like all the others until he told me that the girl that was near me was my daughter and the only reason we were allowed to live was to send a message to Lord Voldemort, a message that still makes no sense at all, but was enough to cause Lord Voldemort to become so furious that he told us some things I would never have expected from him."
Andromeda got closer to her in anticipation of what she would consider some juicy gossip, "Delphini told him she was his daughter and that I was her mother, that she came from the future, even told him a prophecy that she knew of, one that Lord Voldemort had been wanting to hear about, he first said that the only way he would ever have a child with someone as ugly as I am that I got him drunk and I forced myself on him, and then he called my daughter insane and told us both to get lost and never to even think about ever seeing him again or else he would kill us. So what should be a fun little outing turned out to be quite educational. I learned that the purity of your blood means absolutely nothing, what matters is power, and that Storm Breaker and his friend Storm Crusher had more power than the entire group that attacked that pub and then some. He even said something that I can't forget."
Narcissa now sat down close to Andromeda wanting to hear more, "He said that having pure magical blood doesn't make us invincible, that regardless of how pure the person's blood is, they all bleed and die just the same as anyone else. The one that killed Rodolphus and all the others like he was taking out the garbage is not pure blood, he is a half-blood. His friend that protected the muggles is a pure-blood wizard but he used his power to protect muggles!"
Well Andromeda saw the look in Bellatrix's eye and she was sure she never blushed or got misty eyes from thinking about Rodolfus, but then again this guy seemed to be a mass murdering psychopath, so this could be that this was the first time anyone managed to turn her sister on this much. "What I know from hearing you is that there is no freaking way that Storm Crusher was anywhere near being in Slytherin, protecting others he was either Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. And that breaker sounds so much like a Gryffindor it's not even funny."
Bellatrix told her that Delphini said that the guy who was called the Storm Breaker was supposed to be a guy named Harry Potter, and he was a Gryffindor, but the odd thing was the Storm Crusher was also supposed to be in the same house, but he sure as hell didn't jump at the chance to beat those guys that were attacking the pub, so that was rather odd about him.
"For all you know, he is a relative of Cygnus, since as you said he is a Potter, but I don't know anyone from the Longbottom family. The person I am dating told me he saw one night something really strange a person threw some seeds and grew some sick-looking cabbages, then used a mandrake to stun his enemies as the cabbages had actual teeth and devoured the limbs of people. You have to be nuts to do something like that. An adult mandrake is liable to kill anyone within earshot of it, so it had to be a baby."
That is when a woman finally came through the door and looked at the sisters and the girl who she now considered her granddaughter and saw they were having a rather heated and fun talk, but this was not the right time for that. "Look girls, normally I would have no problem with you lot staying up late and talking with each other, but tonight you lot need to go to bed right now, Cygnus is calling for a family meeting and every member of the Black Family must attend, that means every one of you has to attend and I don't want you to go to that meeting sleep deprived. So light out, and go to sleep, and yes it also includes you Delphini, you are a member of this family and I will not have anyone go against me on this if you do, I will be angry."
Narcissa and Andromeda told Bellatrix and her daughter good night as they left the room, but not without complaining that the gossip was just getting good, that this meeting better is about something important. Druella hearing this quickly looked at Narcissa who stopped talking when she saw how her mother was looking at her, "Your father would not have called a meeting where every family member has to attend for something frivolous, and you should know it. Now shut up, eyes closed, and go to SLEEP!"
Bellatrix and her daughter went to sleep practically side by side on the same massive bed, and for some strange reason Bellatrix was dreaming about the Storm Breaker, chasing after her and somehow the closer he got to her the more of her clothes seemed to fall off her, only to end up as naked as the day she was born, where she tackled the guy who was wearing a mask to hide most of his face, kissing him passionately on his lips and as she was about ready to start making passionate love she suddenly felt someone touch her shoulder trying to wake her up, it was Delphini trying to wake her up since they had to get up, eat breakfast and get ready for that family meeting her grandmother told them about.
Bellatrix was not happy as she was eating her eggs, bacon, and toast, "Damn it, I wish you could have left me sleep a few more minutes or even an hour, that was a great dream I was enjoying, this fucking meeting better be something really important or I am going to be pissed."
As the time finally came to have that meeting, Bellatrix saw many of her family that usually she never got to see, meaning this meeting was something serious enough that many of the family members had to miss out or leave things that would cost them a lot of money to attend. As the family members sat in the chairs, sofas, and loveseats in the living room, Cygnus stood in the center of the room.
"I have called this general meeting of our family for a reason, as you might know, we have been thinking of throwing our support and backing the efforts of the Knights of Walpurgis. Walpurga had once been very vocal about her approval of the actions and leadership of the one we know as Lord Voldemort, till new information about the man came to light, thanks in majority to our newest family member, Delphini the daughter of Bellatrix, so from today onward she shall be called Delphini Black."
Everyone was looking at Bellatrix and her daughter who were seated together. Many consider it impossible since Bellatrix was still so young and Delphini was not exactly a baby, some others however did see a striking family resemblance and accepted it, but none spoke against it fearing gaining the ire of the Black Family Patriarch. "As I was saying we have new information about the man we knew as Lord Voldemort, we have learned that his actions will lead to the absolute destruction and annihilation of the Black Family, causing the death of most of our family members, and making matters worse the man who proclaimed being the champion of an ideal pure-blood wizard, was not a pure-blood wizard at all instead he is a half-blood. So for those that care about our stands of the superiority on the purity of a bloodline, this alone should make you understand we are not going to be offering any aid, support, or consideration to that group. We shall not be allies with a man that would see our family die by his actions, we, however, will not fight against him, from this moment on, the Black Family is to take a neutral stand on this coming conflict, we shall focus on the survival of our family first and foremost. Anyone who breaks this will be severely punished to the extent that the person may be kicked out and disowned by our family. This should tell you this is no joke and I am quite serious."
One of the family members stood up and asked how did they come to know this information, and what was the source of it. Delphini stood up much to the shock of her mother and asked permission to answer that, Cygnus was quite proud to see that Delphini was so brave and granted her permission, "I told our patriarch that information, I happen to know that because I am from what I think is the future, and as to whom is my father the one you called Lord Voldemort is named Thomas Marvolov Riddle Junior, and if you need more reasons why not to want this man be representing your ideology, here is two things, he killed his own family and then blamed another to avoid being punished, so he could create a Horcrux, and I know for a fact that he ended up creating not just one but seven of them. You should know the horror and foolishness that is to create one but to create seven using key prominent artifacts owned by the founders of Hogwarts, that should tell you how insane he is."
The other members were horrified at hearing this man killed his family and did so to create a Horcrux, but hearing that he would make six additional ones after that made them realize that this man must be so insane that he should never be allowed to lead the magical world for he would cause everyone to die and since he did this to his own family, he showed that he didn't care who he had to sacrifice to achieve his goals.
Some of the family were shaking their heads not believing they were nearly dumb enough to back such a monster, some others began to look at themselves and realized that their mindset made them easy prey to this madman, and some others simply listened quietly almost like they didn't want to believe this was real, but at the same time could do nothing to deny it.
"So now that everyone knows, I expect none of you will want to join the side of Riddle, and from now on to what else I need to discuss, it seems my daughter and grandaughter believe that this entire conflict will have more than just Riddle, the Ministry, and possibly even Dumbledore, and they believe that the Storm Breaker and Storm Crusher could be our best choice as to which faction we should throw our support."
As they heard this the family became more and more interested, "As such I believe that we will eventually join the side of those two, but at the moment we will offer our aid should we be asked, but we don't want to seem desperate that these two feel they have more control over this partnership, we want them to see us as equals after all. We do this to ensure the survival of our family so we must remember that like most of us, we are ambitious but cunning is also part of the house values we share."
Most of the Black Family were sorted into the Slytherin House, so they knew exactly what their patriarch was doing, they needed to be able to prevent these two from using their need to guarantee their family's survival against them. Not allowing their feelings, desires, or fears to cloud their judgment, as it nearly did with them thinking of backing that monster that would cause the death and destruction of their entire family.
At the same time, a hooded figure was seen walking through the halls of an ancient prison, only to stop at the gate to the room where a man who had suffered a great deal, and his face looked more akin to a skeleton since it was obvious he was suffering from severe malnutrition.
With a move of his hand, the bars that closed the cell room were turned to dust and blew away, as he walked near him he looked at the man and smiled.
"Gellert Grindelwald, you were not an easy person to find, I have been looking for you for some time, you may probably think that you can't trust me, but fear not, for I come bearing gifts that will be most beneficial to you, and cost you very little in exchange. First I trust that you know of the deadly hallows, well here I am to give you a copy of the supposedly most powerful wand there ever was, and secondly, a potion that depending on your luck may grant you back your youth or restore you to when you were in your prime, once this is done, I shall take you to resurrect your loyal followers, and the only thing that will cost you is you will owe me a favor."
Grindelwald took the potion, and the wand while seeing this man waiting for him to drink the potion, As the man finally decided that he had little else to lose he decided to drink the potion completely, but the pain his body was in was immense, it felt like his body was both being torn apart and used to reconstruct himself. Had never felt such intense and horrible pain in his entire life but as soon as he could feel no more pain, he looked at his reflection in a nearby pool of water and saw much to his shock, he was as young as when he was in his prime.
"I gathered you see the benefit of my gifts, so now to the favor, I need you to restart your rebellion, and bring this world back to the way you think it should be, as for what you can call me, just call me Ziro," Grindelwald asked him why would he introduce himself as a number? Ziro told him that it was because he believed he shared much with the number Zero as he always felt that his life had an infinite number of possibilities.
As he transfigured his rags into something more presentable, Ziro put a hand on his shoulder and almost immediately he found himself in the graveyard that held all of his precious and loyal followers, Ziro using his magical power caused the caskets of the followers of Grindelwald to burst out of the ground and just as quickly as Cygnus came to understand the truth of the danger facing the Black Family, Grindewald saw the dead bodies of his followers in full display, until Ziro sent a way of magical energy and upon hitting the open caskets the bodies began to regenerate and grow till all the followers of Grindelwald were kneeling in front of the man who they had sworn their loyalty.
The Acolytes were extremely happy to be alive and back in the presence of their leader and they rushed towards Grindelwald wanting to hug him for something they perceived as their leader doing the impossible and resurrecting them from the dead they failed to notice the man whom Gellert now knew as Ziro banished almost without a trace."
As Harry and Neville finally got to the village where there were so many rumors about them having a small furry problem, meaning the rumors stated that there was a vicious pack of wolves in the nearby hills and forest that was terrorizing their lives, which was why Harry and Neville went there to offer their aid and support in dealing with this treat, Neville knew who it was causing this, they decided to hear more about these rumors and the best place to do that is the pub, since the people drinking more than likely will
Both of them walked in and began to order something to eat, they knew they would be busy so they couldn't exactly skip a meal, considering that they would have to face the person who was making the lives of everyone in the village a living hell. Fenrir Greyback was the one that was causing so much pain, torment, and even death all while pretending to be a large animal that they would otherwise fear. Fenrir was looking in a sort of predatory way at the children of the man who owned the bar, Fenrir was simply drinking some malt liquor, while eating a steak and red potatoes that had been mashed and seasoned with some gray gravy.
Both Neville and Harry noticed how he was looking at the children of the business owner, it was well-known that he preferred turning young children into werewolves, especially if they were the children of people who once worked for the Ministry of Magic. Many once said that he did that as a way to voice his anger about the laws that prohibit werewolves to be able to having gainful employment or a decent place to live, they romanticized the idea that he was merely doing this to force them to one day treat his kind as people and not dangerous monsters.
Neville called that absolute bullshit, the bastard did it because he enjoyed making people suffer, plain and simple, the wolf's bane potion was one that Neville learned to make when he was just a student if he wanted to change things, he could have provided other werewolves with a potion he made himself after all people forget Fenrir is a fully trained wizard or at least he was before he became the beast that he currently was, if not he could have easily taught some people like himself to cultivate and gather the ingredients to brew the potion themselves.
The fact that he became a follower of Tommy, was sufficient enough for Harry to hate him, but remembering what Remus went through and what happened to so many other good people, made him furious, and that is why they were both eating and drinking where they were, upon hearing rumors about wolf attacks in the area. As the final customer was done, and both Harry and Neville helped the business owner clear the tables, the owner offered them a room to stay for the evening free of charge.
Harry asked him why would he offer them this, to which he looked sad, "Sir, we have had many incidents of people being attacked by wolves, these wolves are smarter, and more vicious than any wolves we have ever seen or known of, no traps work, and if you go outside of my place you will more than likely be attacked." Neville told him not to worry about it, they simply needed to have a bit of exercise after such a delicious meal. Harry simply smiled and told him that he might want to reinforce his barrier and that they would not be gone too long.
As they walked outside and towards a nearby hill looking at the place they left, they saw Fenrir looking at the place with an almost hungry smile on his face, as he kept looking up at the night sky, almost waiting to see something. "We both saw the way you were looking at those kids Fenrir, sorry, but you aren't hurting those kids, instead you will be helping me and my friend and test a couple of potions and an invention of ours, and don't whine cause we are going to make you suffer for what you did to one of our friends." Neville wondered why Harry had to waste his breath talking to Fenrir, it's not like he would listen to reason.
"In that case, I will simply kill both of you, don't you know what tonight is? Nothing can defeat me when I am blessed by the light of a full moon, had you stayed in an inn, curled into a ball, crying in fear, you two would have lived to see another day, but instead you chose to challenge me! For that, you will die."
As Fenrir transformed into his full werewolf form, he looked at both friends as if he was looking at prey that he would make into his next meal, the minute that Fenrir charged towards them, however, vines burst from the ground the came towards Fenrir in such a vicious and speedy fashion that Fenrir was entangled by the vines, who had pinned him down on the ground, as Fenrir tried to break free, the vines hit him almost like he was both getting struck by a whip and strangled. It only stopped after Fenrir knew he was not going anywhere.
"Damn it, Crusher, when the hell did you learn to grow and train Devil's Snare to do shit like that?" Neville looked at Harry and smiled, almost like Harry should know better than to think that plant can only do that. Neville merely explained that most plants in the magical world can be used in an amazing number of ways if a person learns about them, and being once a Herbology Professor, he knows this plant quite well.
"Well it is time to get this show going, so let's tie him up and get the main attraction ready for the show." As they quickly disappeared and reappeared in Moody's office, Alastor was asking who the hell is the captured werewolf. Harry told him it was Fenrir, and to please be sure to call Dumbledore, McGonnagal, and some reporters from the Daily Prophet, they will want to see what happens to him next, and they plan to test some new inventions they came up with that will be quite beneficial.
As Dumbledore, Minerva and some reporters from the daily prophet came out of the fireplace they noticed the large werewolf and were amazed someone could keep Fenrir tied up like that with what looks like Devil's Snare vines. "We invented two potions and a little thing that will be quite beneficial. Why don't we show you what these inventions do."
Harry grabbed one bottle from his pocket and without even asking for consent he forced the contents down Fenrir's throat. The transformation was less than pleasant if all the screaming, cussing, and promises of getting his revenge were to go by, except he found that he was back in his human form, "I call that a success, a potion that completely cures lycanthropy. You are back to being a human, and you will never be able to turn into a werewolf no matter how many times one bites, or scratches you and shocking the reporters that are still taking pictures and writing everything down."
Fenrir was mortified at first and then was in tears that they had robbed him of the one thing that made him special, now he was merely a human. "If you think I am done with you, you got another thing coming," Harry took another bottle and forced him to drink it, and once again Fenrir was in immense pain as his flesh became sort of like clay being remodeled, and after minutes of excruciating pain where a man once was, a busty brunette woman was tied down just like Fenrir had been. Harry explained this potion can switch the gender of any person who drinks it, if a wizard wants to be a witch a little drink and they could be what they feel is right for them, but sadly the current potion only works once so the person should be careful, also the transformation affects their age to be back in their prime, as he pointed at the naked form of what used to be Fenrir.
"Now Fenrir, I am going to give you a choice, put on this necklace and become our obedient pet, or you can go back to Azkaban for the rest of your days, I am giving you this choice, so what shall it be? Necklace or be a dementor's bitch for the rest of your life." Fenrir hated it but she admitted the alternative was less than pleasant, as she placed the necklace on her neck, and quickly became a tattoo around her neck as it fused with her flesh.
"And this is the control necklace, as long as she has that on, Fenrir here is not able to hurt anyone innocent ever again and only the owner of the necklace may remove it, to make things fun for her however it does allow her to take her werewolf form and even change her appearance considering that the control necklace has a transformation Magic like an Animagus form but better, but she will need a better name, how about Fenris. Now Fenris turn into a small dog, say a beagle." As she heard what he ordered Fenris first turned into her original wolf form and then became a small dog, a beagle, Harry took a leash and put it on her. "Now if you will excuse us, we need to get Fenris here used to how her life has changed, as Neville and Harry both walked out with the beagle that had once been the most feared werewolf following them like a loyal little puppy.
Harry turns around and says one last thing we will be selling these items once they are perfected a brand new store has been opened called Snape's Emporium and many other items as well don't think that you can rob from this place because we have put in enchantments on it to prevent such things as vandalism, theft, and other things thanks to the goblins.
