Just at that moment there was a crack and about 15 men and women popped in with Alastor all touching the plate. Alastor wrapped up the plate and walked up to us. "I see you found a stray lamb for us?"

"Yep, I sure did. He was a latecomer to the party. He confessed to being a death eater, so you can ask him anything right now and he'll tell ya." I told him, while handing him the guys wand.

Alastor chuckled and said to the guy, "Are ye a death eater?"

The guy said, "Yes."

Alastor said to me,"Ye got into yer

medicine cabinet, didn't ya lassie?" I giggled.

"It's been good, funny entertainment. Severus and I got a good seat and had snacks and water and sat under the tree and watched. Until this dumb guy stumbled across us. You missed some real fun, Alastor." I said. He laughed.

"Arianna, I will miss traveling with ya. Between your sense of humor, the way you and Severus banter between ya, the laughs were making the trip much easier with ya. I'll miss the great food ye cook too. I envy Severus catching such a precious gem as yerself." Alastor said, smiling.

One of his men walked up and said, "We're ready when you are."

"Ok mate." He turned to address everyone. "She'll be dropping a doorway into her containment spell. The spell is 700 feet wide surrounding the devil's. Be diligent in watching your backs. They are rabid. Don't kill Malfoy by accident, his white haired self needs to stand trial for his deeds."

I walked up to my barrier and cast "Aperta Magica Ianua". A glowing rounded doorway opened. All the men and women looked at me funny.

Alastor said,"In ya go lads and lasses. We'll notify her when we are done to drop the barrier." They all passed by single file and walked through and I shut the doorway down behind them.

Severus and I watched as they fought and pursued the death eaters. When the death eaters fell back into the building. The aurors went inside. We could hear the racket all the way out here. I felt bad, I could have gone in and had no casualties. I lean into Severus.

"Severus, I could have contained them all on my own or helped without casualties." He rubbed my back.

"Arianna, you must let them do it their way. It's their job. You wouldn't want anyone stepping on your toes, would you?" He said.

I said, "No, I'm just concerned for them getting harmed unnecessarily. I could do it without harm." He chuckled and held me tighter, putting his head on mine.

"You always think of others. I know you could have done that, but should you? They don't know your capability and it would have insulted their pride or make them feel inert in comparison. You must let others do their jobs too. I know you care for people's welfare all the time. That's one of the things I love about you." Severus told me. I lifted my head up and kissed him.

"I love you so, Severus Snape. Marrying you was my smartest and easiest decision." I laid my head on his shoulder and nuzzled his neck. After a few minutes, we sat back under the tree and waited.

Once the all clear was given they collected 37 death eaters, sympathizers and four dead bodies. They each took turns bouncing back and forth transporting the criminals and bodies with both port keys.
