Sasuke Uchiha in Harry Potter - Part 2

War VI

Fourteen Hours Earlier

At Grimmauld Place, everyone was gathered at the dinner table, but the atmosphere was tense. Dumbledore had forbidden everyone from participating in the battle the next day.

Dumbledore argued that they needed more information and that it might be a trap to deceive the Ministry of Magic, potentially allowing attacks on other critical locations like Azkaban, St. Mungo's, the Ministry itself, Gringotts, and Hogwarts.

Suddenly, a hare Patronus appeared, carrying Tonks' voice.

Everyone abandoned their plates, and the room fell silent to hear Tonks' message.

Tonks: Professor Dumbledore, I'm at St. Michael's. Bones has gathered the entire army here for tomorrow's battle.

Tonks: Bones has formed an alliance with Muggles, Squibs, and house-elves to fight alongside us.

Tonks: If you're wondering how they'll fight wizards without magic, you'd be surprised to know they've found a way to combat them with their weapons. We had simulated battles where they easily defeated the Ministry's wizards, and they even made their powerful Muggle weapons work in the presence of magic. But the most surprising thing is that they've gained a new ally for this battle: the bounty hunter Raven.

Tonks: The information that Raven and Sasuke Uchiha are the same person is incorrect, as I've seen them both in front of me.

Tonks: Our total number is 300 people. We're fully organized, and the leader will be General Mack, a Muggle. They mentioned he's a great military strategist and a former Navy SEAL, though we're not entirely sure what that means.

Tonks: That's all the information I could gather. I hope it's useful. Goodbye.

The Patronus dissolved, leaving everyone stunned by the information.

Dumbledore seemed most affected; even in his wildest dreams, he hadn't imagined an alliance with Muggles and Squibs to face Voldemort.

Moody: Raven is siding with the Ministry of Magic? How did they convince him?

Sirius: What do you mean?

Moody: I tried recruiting him for the Order, but the moment I mentioned joining a group

Harry: Sirius, you said Raven and Sasuke Uchiha were

Sirius: I believed that, but now I'm not so sure, especially after seeing Uchiha use that black fire. I thought they were one and the same.

Arthur: Sirius, could Raven be Sasuke Uchiha's mentor? After all, those bounty hunters have been around Knockturn Alley for at least two years.

Everyone considered that plausible, as Raven had joined the Ministry for the next day's battle, perhaps because his disciple was now part of the Ministry.

Dumbledore: That could be a possibility, but now we have the information we need. These are the next steps: Fred, George, Moody, and Sirius, I want you to go to St. Michael's. Do not engage in the battle, just observe how things unfold.

Fred, George, and Sirius were disappointed, but their expressions suddenly shifted, as if considering disobeying Dumbledore's orders.

Dumbledore noticed this.

Dumbledore: I'm serious—do not engage, especially you, Sirius. Don't do anything reckless. There's a special mission you three must carry out: you will protect Alastor.

Fred: Protect Moody?

George: Shouldn't it be the other way around, Professor Dumbledore?

Dumbledore: He has a special task to perform, and he won't be able to move from his position.
