A series of pops rang out in the English countryside as Harry Potter and his twelve wives apparated to the abandoned Gaunt Shack that housed one of the Dark Lord's final Horcruxes. Harry still didn't want most of the girls here, but they were firm in their decision.
"Alright, this is it, I can practically feel the whole area covered in dark magic, but the Horcrux has a different signature that I can feel is close, but I can't tell where. This is your last chance to back out guys, this is nothing you've faced before.", he said reluctantly, knowing they'd hate that.
Tracey rolled her eyes and smacked him upside the head, "Harry, luv, for the last time, we all understand the risks and we've been training for this. We're a family now and we're in this together and if you mention it again, no sex for a year."
Harry looked around at the girl's steely resolve and sighed fondly, "Well, seems like I have no choice. Happy wife, happy life."
Tonks snorted, "Pretty sure the bloke who said that didn't have more than one wife to cater to."
Harry nodded with a smile, "Wouldn't have it any other way. Now, we can't linger here forever, Voldemort will eventually know that we're here, so we need to find the Horcrux as quickly as possible and leave. We'll split up in groups of two, except for the group of three that will consist of myself, Tonks, and Fleur and we'll take the lower levels of the house. Susan and Hannah, you two take the gardens. Penny and Su, you two will take the East Wing that holds the library and the Lord's study. Angelina and Alicia, you will handle the West Wing that holds the family and guest rooms. Daphne and Tracey will explore the woods near the rear to the manor. Finally, Katie and Pansy will explore the cemetery."
Katie's eyes nearly left their sockets, "The cemetery!? We have to look there, too!?"
Pansy shot her new partner an amused look, "Scared of ghosts, Katherine? Don't worry, I'll keep you safe."
Katie leveled a glare that could melt ice, "I'm not scared, Pansy, and don't call me Katherine."
Harry gave Katie a kiss on her head to reassure her, "We can't leave without checking every inch of this place, Katie. The thing we're looking for is only the size of an apple, at most. Remember, the object in question will be a ring with the Slytherin crest, a cup with the Hufflepuff crest, or an unknown object that emits dark magic. We'll rendezvous here in two hours with what we have."
The girls all nodded, with Katie still grumbling cutely about having to go to a graveyard, and Harry sent a quick prayer to get them through the horrors they face today.
Daphne and Tracey were making their way toward the back woods of the manor, feeling a lingering sense of dread as they approached. The two girls were hardly the paranoid types, but this was different, it felt like a cold death awaited them.
Tracey sighed, "How come we always get the crappy jobs?"
Daphne chuckled, "You'd rather take the cemetery with Katie and Pansy?"
Tracey snickered, "I would pay good money to see that, Katie freaking out while the ever-witty Pansy infuriates her more. I'm starting to think Harry did it on purpose."
Daphne nodded, "Probably Tonks' idea, I swear she's your twin separated at birth."
Tracey beamed and nodded, "Probably a good thing we're not, my parents have enough to handle with me and I'm an only child."
The conversation between the two stopped when suddenly the cold chill had intensified tenfold, and both girls looked up towards the trees and were frozen when they saw at least three dozen Dementors, cloaked and menacing staring down at them. Both girls quickly took out their wands, but were swarmed with overwhelming speed and numbers as the Dementors quickly circled them. Eventually, they both felt the creatures deprive them of their happiness and good memories as darker parts of their minds, like their fears and insecurities come back.
However, both girls remembered their training and thought deeply on their most powerful memories/emotions, like Harry taught them. For Daphne, it was when her sister had survived her heinous blood curse, all the time she spent with Tracey and her other friends, and her time with Harry and how she grew to love him. For Tracey, it was similar and how Harry and the others cured her insecurities and flaws that she covered with jokes and how he makes her feel special.
Gripping their wands tightly, they both pointed and shouted, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
Two large flashes of bright light suddenly engulfed the forest as the Dementors suddenly felt incredible pain like never before and were forced to flee deeper into the woods, away from the girls. After they were gone and the light faded, both Slytherins fell to their knees panting heavily and almost completely drained.
Despite that, Tracey grinned at Daphne, "You know, I bet the cemetery wasn't nearly as fun as that was."
Daphne just groaned, too tired to argue, and just rested for a while before resuming their search.
Susan and Hannah, as proud Hufflepuffs, loved traveling through gardens and greenhouses with Herbology being their favorite class. Now, however, walking through the degraded and neglected Gaunt Shack gardens, all they felt was sadness, anger, and wariness, not unlike the rest of the godforsaken estate. They might as well have been walking through the Amazon jungle there was so much overgrown plant life and ambient dark energy. Susan was at least more or less unaffected by her surroundings, but Hannah was trembling despite the brave face she was putting on.
Susan put a hand on her friends' shoulder, "Hann, are you alright? Do you want to turn back?"
Hannah shook her head and stopped shaking, "No, I need to do this. How am I ever going to avenge my mom if I can't handle a haunted house's shrubbery?"
Susan gave her a searching look, "I hope you're not planning some suicide mission."
Before Hannah could deny anything, they both flinched slightly as an inhuman scream pierced the area. They both ran towards it to find the source, and both stopped dead at what they saw.
The girls were shocked and terrified to see a horde of Infiri walking around the garden, seemingly patrolling the area. Susan knew that Infiri were one of the worst dark creatures to come across, even for veteran Aurors, since they can only truly be harmed by fire and then several strong blasting curses and other spells. It was still possible though to defeat one, but in a large group like this, it would be an overwhelming task. Needless to say, Hannah started shaking again and even Susan was struggling to maintain composure.
Before either could move, a monstrous hand came out of the ground and latched on to Hannah's leg in a death grip. The resulting sounds of a fight alerted the other Infiri, who quickly came stumbling over or crawling over. Susan was doing her best to hold off the horde, while also trying to help free Hannah, firing off Incendio's and Confrigo's left and right. It was making little to no progress though, these Infiri seemed stronger than your average horde, eventually the two girls became overwhelmed, even though Hannah had been freed.
When Susan saw them swarm Hannah, she felt her blood grow cold and she knew what she had to do, no matter how dangerous it was. She could practically feel her husband's angry rant about trying this before she had mastered it, but to save her friend and family, she would do anything, just like Harry and auntie taught her.
Tackling Hannah to the ground to shield her from the blast and raising her wand, she shouted, "Fiendfyre!"
Larger than any fire she had ever produced before, all of the Infiri were consumed in a blazing inferno. Any who weren't immediately incinerated were still burning like all the plant life around them. Seeing that Susan was unconscious from the magical drain after cancelling out her spell, Hannah raised her wand and blasted the remaining the remaining creatures straight to Hell with a series of destructive spells. Afterwards, she sent some strong water spells to putt out the lingering flames, finally collapsing next to Susan on her butt. Looking around, she saw that the gardens had been reduced to ash and she was pretty certain that if the Horcrux was here, it was destroyed by now, so she decided to let Susan rest a while before heading back.
She sighed to herself, "I really hope the others aren't having this much trouble."
Penelope and Su entered the house rather easily after Harry blew the doors open before going downstairs with the others and were now perusing the library for any sign or mention of the Horcrux stashed away in the estate. Su was, despite the tense situation, quite enamored with the selection of tomes and books inside the dust pit that was the family library; she would also be lying if she said she wasn't interested herself, damn Ravenclaw curiosity.
Penny sighed, "Su, I know you want to look at all these books, but we have a job to do."
Su grew sheepish, "Sorry, while I was curious about what was in them, I was also hopeful they would help us in our search or have something else useful."
Penny nodded and smiled, "I get it, I feel the same. There doesn't appear to be anything on this floor, let's try down below."
Su nodded and the two went down the staircase to what appeared to be an even darker and less preserved part of the library. They both were advancing forward when they heard a slight noise that forced them to stop, when all of a sudden something quick grabbed Su's limbs and dragged her to the nearest wall. Penny turned to see that Su was being held by Devil's Snare, although, it looked much stronger than the usual samples she had seen in the past.
Raising her wand, she shouted, "Lumos Maxima!"
The shining bright light exited her wand something fierce, but while the plant weakened its grip somewhat, Su was still stuck to the wall. She had thought of using a fire spell, but that could injure Su worse than she is now.
"You can't break her out by force.", said a mysterious voice that caused Penny to turn around.
Her eyes widened in shock to see what appeared to be a large lion that had the head of a human and a curious expression on its face as it studied her. She swallowed heavily as she knew the creature before her was a Sphinx, a highly intelligent creature that asks people riddles and the answers usually lead to whatever they are guarding, treasure more often than not.
Steeling herself, Penny asked, "I assume you're here under orders by Lord Voldemort?"
The Sphinx hummed, "Yes, unfortunately, at least until someone like yourself comes along and can answer my three riddles, in exchange for what I'm meant to guard. Failure to do so will result in your friend being crushed by this special breed of Devil's Snare, success will set her free and reveal my treasure."
Penny cursed herself for this situation, but pressed on, "Very well, I accept."
The Sphinx smiled slightly and began, "I roam the woods of Hogwarts school, and my coat is a lovely white, but don't you dare try my blood or you'll be cursed for life. What am I?"
Penny thought for a few moments and came up with the answer while thanking her decision to study Magical Creatures in school, "A Unicorn."
The Sphinx nodded as the snare's grip on Su lessoned as the creature continued, "I may be quite dreadful, but I can be of great help; especially if wands can't help much, but I can gift you a hard time! Sometimes you can't help but try me and after a while I can make you glad. I've been blamed for someone's condition, though it was more of a joke than truth. What am I?"
Penny grew slightly nervous at the much harder riddle as racked her brain for the answer. She assumed it was a potion since all of them taste dreadful but are still useful. Potions that can fix something wands cannot are mainly medical based, and a healing potion that make someone feel good, but taste and feel awful would be…Penny gasped in realization. "A Skele-Gro.", she said.
The Sphinx gave a creepy and amused smile, "Correct, young one. Now for the final riddle."
Penny nodded hesitantly and the creature looked at her intently, "If you break me, I'll not stop working. If you can touch me, my work is done. If you lose me, you must find me with a ring soon after. What am I?"
Penny began panicking internally since the riddle had no real clues to its identity and her mind raced with hundreds of possible answers as she subconsciously began rubbing her wedding ring. Eventually, she looked down at the ring and then her mind slowed down as the answer, or what she hoped was the answer came to her. Harry and Tonks would laugh at her, but she didn't care.
Looking at the Sphinx, she smiled and said, "My heart."
The Sphinx looked at her with a blank expression for half a minute, before smiling slightly, "Good luck on your journey, Penelope Clearwater. You as well, Su Li."
Before Penny could respond, Su was dropped out of the Devil's Snare, and she rushed over as the younger girl tried to catch her breath. Once Su had recovered, she looked up to see that the Sphinx was gone and there was a small stand with a black book on it.
Su tilted her head, "That's not one of the potential Horcruxes. What is it?"
Penny carefully opened it and quickly realized what the book was and smiled, "Something almost as valuable."
Alicia and Angelina were making steady progress through the family wing of the house, no resistance in sight, which only set them on edge more. That, and the fact that they could hear what sounded like a fight outside made them pick up the pace around the manor.
Alicia groaned, "This is a waste, we should be out there helping the others."
Angelina sighed, "We have to look over every inch of this place, lest we miss something important."
Alicia nodded reluctantly, "Fine, but we'll take the last two rooms separately, ok?"
Angelina agreed and the two besties headed inside the last two rooms one at a time and once again, all Alicia saw was a plain room that looked just like all the other rooms. Sighing tiredly to herself, she began pulling them room apart looking for this fucking Horcrux and leave this godforsaken estate. If she had been paying attention, she would have noticed the dresser opening and something step out.
"Alicia, did you make a mess again!?", said a horrible voice she knew all too well.
Alicia stood up straight as a nail and froze in fear, she didn't dare turn around to face him. She started trembling like she used to do as a girl with her trauma rearing its ugly head. She flinched badly when he started yelling again.
"Girl! You will look at me when I'm talking to you or are you as stupid as your mother!?", he screamed.
Alicia turned her head over her shoulder and shuddered when she saw her father standing there with his usual scowl and glare. It took all her will not to quiver in fear.
"Y-you can't be here…you died in Azkaban.", she stuttered.
Her father scoffed, "Do you think death will ever rid you of me? I'm with you forever, baby girl, just like all the bruises I left."
She looked down while shaking, "You're not real. I refuse to believe this horrid magic."
He leaned in close, "If you don't believe in it, why are you shaking? I'll tell you why, because you always allow your fear to rule you and use it as an excuse to avoid lasting connections to others. That's why you'll always be alone like the stupid, useless girl you are, and I'll be there in spirit even now that I'm dead."
Alicia, despite being one of the toughest girls on the block, was close to breaking down into tears as her tormentor laid into her as he had done so many times before. Her brain told her this was all fake, yet she couldn't help but recoil at such vivid memories coming back to the surface, and he was right. She always allowed her past to define her present, and by extension her future, and even now she's afraid of lasting love from her sisters in Angie and Katie, even her husband Harry. When her husband popped in head, she looked down at her ring and thought about what it meant to her. At first, she saw it as a negative, not because of Harry or the others, but because she would find a way to mess it up for all of them. Then, she saw it as a way for her stay with her friends and teammates forever, and the other girls she was friendly with. Now, though, she's spent time with all of them over the last month and for the first time, she got be part of a whole and loving family (dysfunctional it may be at times), and she wanted to experience that feeling more. She would not let fear rule her anymore.
It was then, like a lightbulb going off, that she realized what was happening here and she clenched her fist as she raised her wand and shouted, "Riddikulus!"
Suddenly, the boggart pretending to be her father, turned into a clown on roller-skates that hilariously fell onto his back. After her amusement ended, she blasted the clown back into the closet and locked it. It took a few minutes of heavy breathing and wiping away the unshed tears that didn't come, but she finally got herself under control. Seeing as the Horcrux wasn't here, she left the room, turning to see a concerned looking Angelina staring at her.
"You okay, I tried to get in the room, but it wouldn't budge, and I thought I heard shouting?", Angie asked.
Alicia looked at her for a moment before smiling softly, "I've honestly never been better."
Katie hated spooky shit, ever since she was a kid when her friends showed her that Horror movie marathon and scared her shitless. She will deny to this day and every day to come that she shrieked when she first came to Hogwarts and saw Nearly Headless Nick. So, one can imagine how much she hated walking a family grave site belonging to fucking Voldemort's family with Pansy of all people left her a little on edge. She didn't hate Pansy anymore, but the damn girl certainly knew how to grate her nerves.
"Honestly, Katherine, you are far too tense for this situation. You need to overcome your fears and be on guard.", Pansy stated.
A vein appeared on Katie's forehead, "I'm not scared, and for the last time, it's Katie dammit!"
Pansy just gave her smug smile that screamed that she knew what she was doing and didn't care as the two continued to walk the abandoned cemetery. Though the graveyard seemed as ordinary as any other, both girls could not help but shiver at the thought that this was where Voldemort was reborn, which just added to the creepiness factor. The two girls had made it to the imposing headstone that housed Tom Riddle's parents when the ground started shaking, causing both to look around frantically until the shaking got closer and they saw two large silhouettes come out of the fog.
Katie's jaw dropped, "Pansy?"
Pansy just stared ahead, "Yeah?"
"Did you put a charm on my mind?"
"No."
Katie nodded, "Just checking. We're fucked, aren't we?"
Pansy tsked, "Pretty much."
Now out of the fog, the two girls were shocked to see two fully grown mountain trolls wrapped in fighting armor and clubs and they looked pissed. Katie was now more convinced than ever that Harry's bad luck on had rubbed off on all of them if this is what she and the others had to deal with. Her time to curse it though came to a crashing halt as one of the trolls came down with his club hard and it was only thanks to Katie's fast Quidditch reflexes that she managed to separate herself and Pansy before the club made contact. Once up, the two summoned their best Protego shields, but they knew that was temporary against enemies as powerful as they were.
Pansy hated letting situations like these slip from her grasp so quickly and having to think on the fly, which was more her husband's strength. Pansy and Katie had to split up as the two trolls began chasing both of them and pieces of marble and earth went flying as many tombstones were destroyed each time, they tried to hit one of the girls. Their shields were weakening and about to break any minute, the blasting curses and offensive spells they were sending out were working to slow to do any lasting damage. Pansy knew that if they were to survive this, she would have to do something drastic and for once, she was grateful for her father's dark teachings. She just hoped that Harry and the others didn't look at her differently.
As her shield broke, she rolled away to avoid a direct impact, but she hit her head slightly on the nearby tombstone, giving her a concussion. Disoriented, but still conscious, she raised her wand at the troll right before he could swing again and shouted, "AVADA KADVARA!"
Green light exploded from her wand and hit the troll directly on the chest, armor be damned, and the tolls' movement halted as its eyes glazed over and he toppled over, dead as the other corpses around them. Pansy tried to get to Katie but was too weak to move as her vision blurred.
Katie looked over to see what Pansy had done and saw she was hurt with the troll dead, but she couldn't help her until the other troll was dealt with. As things were looking hopeless for her, she felt a pull on her magic and turned head and gasped when she saw the Sword of Gryffindor appear next to the Riddle family statue. Forming a quick plan on the fly like she was used to, she used an Earth type spell that Harry had taught her to trap enemies.
"Terra Palus!", she shouted as the ground underneath the troll turned to mud and the troll began to sink. It was still moving around wildly, trying to hit her so she bolted toward the statue, dodging and weaving as any good Quidditch Chaser could and grabbed the sword.
After sending another stunner and some blasting curses to disorient it for a second, she ran towards the troll and with all of her remaining strength, stabbed the great creature through the brain and killing it instantly. Finally, after she sure all movement had stopped, she cancelled the Earth spell and trapped the corpse in a hole to be safe. Hobbling on a limp with blood all over her, she made it to her disoriented sister and picked her up as they slowly made their way back to the rendezvous point.
"Katerine?", Pansy weakly called.
"Yeah?"
"You were right…graveyards are the worst.", as the pair chuckled halfheartedly.
Harry, Fleur, and Tonks had searched the lower level of the house and now were making their way into the large cellar, that clearly had been expanded over the last 50 years. He was calm on the outside, but on the inside, he was a mix of angry, worried, nervous, and resolute all in one. He could feel through the connection in his rings that his wives were going through some tough trials around the house of horrors he had brought them too. He knew they could handle a lot, but that didn't stop his feelings; the price of loving a person with his whole heart he supposed.
Fleur noticed and nudged his shoulder with a smile, "They'll be okay, 'Arry, have faith."
Tonks nodded with a grin, "Yeah, they're tough birds. Wouldn't put up with you otherwise."
Harry rolled his eyes with a smile, "Thanks, loves. Let's get this done quickly."
The three walked deeper into the corridor until they came upon a large chamber, covered in darkness besides a few lit torches. In the center of the room, was an altar that had a silver ring with an obsidian gemstone placed on top of it. Harry felt the all too familiar dark magic of his nemesis emanating from it.
Fleur stopped him before he could touch it, "Don't 'Arry, there is some kind of curse on it, meant to slowly kill anyone who touches the ring, even if they manage to destroy it."
Harry frowned, "Can you disable it?"
Fleur nodded and started casting, "I know an enchantment that should eradicate the dark curse, but it will take time, mon amor."
Harry nodded with a smile, "Tonks and I will watch over you."
Tonks grinned with a thumbs up, "Don't you worry my sexy little croissant, no one will hit touch that ass but us."
Fleur just sighed with a facepalm as Harry just chuckled and the new Lady Potter got to work while Harry and Tonks set up strong protection spells with the help of the Elder Wand. After about ten minutes, Harry heard the sounds of someone apparating in and he could feel that they weren't friendly. With a nod to Tonks, the two got ready to face a small contingent of Death Eaters as Fleur was fully concentrated on the ring. After activating the runes and protection magic around Fleur, a group of ten Death Eaters wearing masks and an unmasked pair leading them that Harry recognized.
"Alecto and Amycus Carrow, Voldemort's pet twins.", Harry growled.
Alecto grinned, "Well, what do you know? Harry Potter himself stealing from the master. We hit the jackpot today, brother."
Amycus smirked, "Indeed, sister. Come quietly, Potter, and maybe we'll let the two whores go…after we have some fun with them first."
Harry gained a dark smile, "You know, I'm going to hate having to explain to Flora and Hestia while there was nothing left of your bodies when they try and bury you."
The twins were shocked at the boy in front of them for a few seconds before they got excited at such a challenge after so long as they pulled out their wands for the duel of their lives. After giving the silent order for the masked men to attack Tonks, the twins focused on him and wasted no time sending dark curses and elemental magic towards Harry's now raised shield. He had to admit, the two made a dangerous team and had him mostly defense. However, he saw an opening when Alecto took a misstep and Harry capitalized.
"Glacius!", he shouted. The ice spell that Harry has grown fond of in combat is good for immobilizing an opponent that would be followed up with an offensive spell; however, with the power of the Elder Wand, the spell froze Alecto's entire body solid. Her brother halted his assault to look on in shock, making Harry smirk as he decided to try something new on the male Carrow. While Harry has used Transfiguration to turn objects into animals since last year, he's never been able to do multiple objects at once, an irrelevant obstacle now thanks to the wand again. Pointing toward a large pile of rocks, he transfigures them into a pack of large wolves that he orders onto Amycus. The brother finally turned back to Harry only to see a giant snarling wolf bite into his wand arm as he screamed in anguish, then screamed louder when the rest of the wolves grabbed onto each of his limbs and the largest one came from behind and bit into his collar bone as he dropped his wand and became immobilized.
With the twins no longer an issue for now, he turned toward Tonks and the other Death Eaters to check her progress. Four of them were on the ground dead, burned to a crisp, two more were transfigured into rats and had knives through them, and two others were chained to wall as the last two were fighting a battered and bruised, but grinning Tonks.
His lovely Lady Black finally went on the attack, "Levioso! Confrigo! Depulso! Diffindo!"
As the last two were lifted into the air, Tonks burned them, blasted them across the room, and finally cut them in half. His wife looked completely exhausted, but she had a beaming smile on her face as she collapsed on the ground and sent him a wink before passing out. Before he could reach her, the two chained to the wall came loose and were going to attack her before he intervened.
"Bombarda Maxima!", he shouted as the last living Death Eaters were promptly blown to bits for daring to raise a hand against his wife. He rushed to Tonks and checked on her with some diagnostic healing spells. He sighed in relief that all she had were bruises and cuts all over her body, which could be healed when they return home, but what she really needed was rest to heal her overworked magical core. He turned to Fleur to see her still protected by the protection runes and spells, albeit weakened ones, and hard at work.
With the battle won, he turned back to Amycus, who was snarling at him like wolves holding him, "Fucking Half-Blood! The Dark Lord is going to eviscerate you, then rape your whores for fun!"
Harry was actually amused, "Well, Merlin knows you and the rest of his goons aren't going to get the job done. Now, Amy, you are going to tell me what I want to know about that snakefucker or I'm going to make you fertilizer for Neville's next Herbology project."
Amycus just tried to spit up blood and spit at him, which missed, and Harry just grinned, "I was hoping you'd say that."
Grabbing the dark wizard's face, he used Legilimency to invade his mind with excessive force to learn more about Voldemort's plans. Amycus struggled greatly, but Harry held nothing back to get what he wanted. After shifting through the horrid acts, the man had committed over the years and finally got to his recent memories. Harry was almost gleeful now knowing the identities of the hidden Death Eaters still remaining and where their money and other holdings are stashed, but his heart stopped when he saw that Voldemort was currently executing a mass breakout of Azkaban while Harry was here. Finally, Harry returned to the real world as Amycus' mind broke due to the stress and convulsed as he died painfully, like his many victims. After Harry was sure the male Carrow was dead, he turned toward the frozen Alecto and cast a Reducto that blew the female Carrow into a million pieces, finally bringing an end to the Carrow Twins' terror.
Fleur finally finished eradicating the dark curse from the ring and placed it a box she conjured that would hold it until they could destroy it. She deactivated the protection magic surrounding her and found a bloody Harry carrying an unconscious Tonks surrounded by a multitude of corpses.
She raised an eyebrow at her husband, "Must you always make a mess, mon amor?"
Harry gave her that lovely roguish grin, "Apologies, my love, I'll do better. Is it done?"
Fleur nodded, "Oui, but Harry, look in the center of the ring."
Harry was confused until he looked inside and saw the ring and his eyes widened when he saw the symbol for the Deathly Hallows in the center of the gemstone. There was no doubt that the ring housed the Resurrection Stone, though it did bring other concerns. Does Voldemort know? Can the Horcrux be destroyed without harming the stone? What happens if the stone is destroyed? Harry shook his head and closed the box and handed it back to Fleur.
"I'll take it to Gringotts and see if they can destroy the Horcrux without harming the stone, for now though, we need to leave and find the others.", he told her, and she nodded.
After a few minutes, the pair and the unconscious Tonks made it to the rendezvous point from before and Harry was happy to see his wives were still alive, but frowned at the condition some of them were in bad shape. Katie and Pansy looked littered with injuries, Pansy also had a haunted look in her eyes that concerned him, and Susan was unconscious with burns on her.
Harry just sighed, "I know we're all tired, but we have to leave. The next few weeks are going to be hectic, and I have meet with Gringotts and Amelia."
Angelina looked worried, "Did something happen, Harry?"
"We got the ring, but the Carrow Twins showed up and we put them down, but we learned that Voldemort is currently staging a mass breakout of Azkaban, if he hasn't finished already.", he said to the shock of the others.
Hannah spoke up meekly, "What do we do, Harry?"
Harry's eyes narrowed, "The Ministry is backing us now, it's time to use it."
