Harry Potter and Time Terror

Chapter 7: The Plan

House of 12 grimmauld wasn't a modern technological phenomenon, infact, it had remained the same from Harrys time, the wall were a little dusty and cracked, the floors and the stairs creaked as people walked, Harry had noticed that there were a lot of people in the house, Silvanus had introduced them to the people, who in-turns gave their names and profession, first was the minister of magic, Lysander Scamander, he treated them with outmost respect and was very courteous in his manners, " It's an honor, sir, to work with you, we are terribly sorry, if anything is of inconvenience to you" he said, " None at all, this feels like home pretty much" he said, next was Teresa Scamander, daughter of Lysander, she had recently joined Magical investigation Bureau, with Silvanus, apparently They both were friends from school, next was Jacob Malfoy, Head of international magical department, Harry had recognised him, " You are Scorpius's son right? " asked, " Yes" Jacob replied, another was Godric Lupin, Son of teddy lupin, who was working for Magical creatures rights, Next was Alena Potter, wife of Albus potter and a relative of Fleur Delacour, she was also Alexis's Mother, last was Lorcan Scamander, twin brother of Lysander Scamander, Naturalist.

They all sat around a large table, and another man came through the kitchen door, for a very brief moment Harry had thought he had seen Sirius black, his godfather and mentor, the man had very bushy black coloured hairs, a shabby beard and a smile on his face, Silvanus had quickly gotten up and ran towards him and gave the man a big loving hug. " This is Phineas Arctus lestrange, my brother and friend from Hogwarts", The man waved at the three of them, Ron had a peculiar looking face at him, Hermione avoided eye-contact and Harry stared at him aghast, Phineas had understood that something was wrong, he quickly moved towards a free seat beside Silvanus and sat down, He whispered something to Silvanus, Harry had noticed that every one was a bit afraid on the man, Phineas, but Silvanus greeted him like a brother, " Phineas is a foster child, his father and mother were..... involved in..some bad things, but I can assure you on my behalf that Phineas was not influenced by them, He attented Hogwarts much later than me, but is an expert fighter and a working agent at MIB" HE concluded without any hesitation, " What bad things?" asked Ron, " They supported the Pure-blood supremacy, and, had caused a huge mayhem at the streets and tortured many muggle-borns for protesting against pure-blood" said Phineas, Silvanus looked a little tensed, Hermione broke into smile and said," I believe you, not all people speak so confidently", Ron was still skeptical, but didn't say anything.

"So, Minister update me with the situation" said Silvanus, " Here is the file for the recently attacked and those injured" Lysander said, pushing a file towards Silvanus, He read the file with much attention but stopped on one page and stared at it, Phineas tried to look over Silvanus's shoulder and saw a picture of a woman with chocolate brown hair, he glanced at the name it read, Hannah Campbell, under it was written, Vitals not functioning, person in coma, chances of survival very less, declared deceased. Phineas sat back on his seat, he looked at Alena, the look of sad and worried was understood by her, every person in the room understood what had Silvanus seen, a moment of grief and sadness overcame the joy of togetherness, Silvanus sat there silently, tears rolled out of his eyes and scarred his face from eyes to cheek and trailed of onwards, Phineas took the file gently removing from his hand, and kept it aside," Don't worry, buddy, it wasn't your fault, don't tarnish her memory in you with these tears, the moment you spent with her, let those moment be joyous, don't cry, we will get over this, you and me, okay, be brave, for father, be brave, brother" he said, patting Silvanus on his back.

Hermione had gotten up and she strode towards the hallway, looking at the portrait, trying to restrain her tears, Ron tried to move up to her but harry stopped him, nodding his head, she needed her time alone, Phineas and Teresa were taking care of Silvanus, " We will do this, Silvanus, I promise you this" said Teresa, comforting Silvanus, she took his hand and placed it into her, clutched it and placed her head onto his shoulders, " So, what do we do now" said Silvanus, " I was hoping you would know the answer" Said Lysander, " Tell me what did you gather from your meeting with Alexis?" he said, " She has a personal grudge against me and other people, she seemed mentally disturbed, I couldn't get more" Silvanus said, harry was shocked that, he had noticed so much in so little time, they were discussing their plans, " We should not strike with all our force, she is too smart for that, we could end up with nothin, remember she has the control over the dead, and they cannot be killed or blasted away, she has taken the precaution of picking only those who were important people, and by there looks, it is very difficult for us to differentiate between who is who" said Silvanus, " But we could direct the Inferi towards the other side and take down Alexis, and control back--" Lysander responded, " Nothing happens to her, she should not be killed, take her put her in the most ancient and deadly cell of Azkaban, but please do not kill her--", pleaded Alena, " She has made a grave mistake, charges against her are of most highly charged treason, nothing said nor proof will compensate her charges" said Lysander, " Put her, into a cell, give me time to talk to her, if she accepts my requests and I know she will, please let her live," said Silvanus, " Are you mad, that person, is now even more threat than a thousand dragons, why shouldn't she be given death penalty" argued Lysander, " Because, she is a young person, we should use her with our discrete level, she understand people and their emotions, I taught her that, and she has blossomed with that knowledge, try and use your brain, she might be useful for us" said Silvanus.

Hermione had gone way far from the table, she arrived at a portrait of Harry, beside his portrait, it was Her and next to that it was Ron, she smiled at it, each portrait had something kept below it, below Ron's was a pocket knife, when opened the knife could pick any lock, it was a remade model of what Sirius gave to harry, from weasley wizards, below her portrait lay a perfect new model of the marauders map, she opened it, but it wasn't the map of Hogwarts, it was a map of 12 Grimmauld place, an arrow appeared on the side of the page, she turned it, it was another map but of the ministry building, she could she Alexis name on the footsteps, she quickly closed the book, and checked below Harry's portrait, it was another notebook, "learning quidditch with Potters" was the name of it, she opened it, inside there were directions and diagrams of quidditch , she shut the book and dashed towards the table, people were still arguing.

" Listen, Silvanus, I found these under our portraits" she gave him the books and the pocket knife, Silvanus smiled looking at the Learning with potters book , he opened it, a glanced a few pages, he read some of the lines and jumped quickly, pacing the floor, he stopped and gave Hermione are very tight hug, " I have found the way!!!" he exclaimed, he practically ran towards Lysander and said, " Here read it," Lysander looked over the book and read aloud,

If you want to plunder,

do not strike with all your rage and thunder

but instead divide and conquer .

Lysander looked at Silvanus and gave a huge smile, then Silvanus announced his plan, " Look, we must divide our forces according to our strengths, like Minister, you have the power over your forces, so you distract the inferies along with Jacob Malfoy, sir Lorcan you are naturalist, you and Godric can look after the dragons, call all the creature and explain things to them, after this is over, Teresa you Miss Hermione have to take care of the inferi bodies, Minister you must make sure that those who are important people must be taken into a safe house, Mr. Ronald, Ron jumped, you and other ministry agents must stay and guard the safe house, divide your team between this place and safe house, we must protect, aunt lena and others, Me and Grandfather harry, will go a speak to Alexis, but remember, all the inferi must leave the ministry, or else we wont be able to touch Alexis" Silvanus concluded, A huge round of applause was given to Silvanus, " The Book of Marauders was made by Hugo granger-weasely, your son" looking at Hermione, she blushed.

" But what if she moved, I mean she want to take over, so she must also..., you know..." said Minister, but he stopped, " I know, she will move for Hogwarts, but I have taken care of it already, Harry potter, Hermione granger, Luna lovegood, Neville longbottom, Minevra McGonagall are all stationed to secure Hogwarts, if she moves towards Hogwarts we shall know" said Silvanus, showing the book of marauders to him. Ron had somehow a mysterious feeling.
