They both looked up as the shield came down and loud voices rang out. |
"I said I’m sorry!" |
"Lea you knew damn well it was a trap!" Morpheus yelled. |
"Isn’t that why you brought in your evil henchmen? They probably suspected that it was a trap as well. As annoying as they are, they’re damned smart and scary!" |
"Be that as it may." Morpheus sighed. He touched her cheek. "You need to stop putting yourself in these situations. You’re turning my hair grey girl." |
Carmen leaned into the touch and soaked up his warmth and magic. "To be fair, I only had a suspicion that it was a trap. That’s why I put up the precautions that I did." She looked up at her brother. "I’m sorry Mo." She really was. She hated when he worried about her. |
Morpheus sighed. "Alright sis. Just be more careful. This isn’t a game." He put his right index finger to her lips to stop her protest. "I know you know that. But you need to stop acting like you can handle everything." He kissed her temple. "Now I believe that you and Lady Malfoy have more shopping to do?" |
"Yay! I still get to go shopping! Ooooh. Can we go to Prague? Or maybe France? No wait we still have to go pick up the order at TnT. Come on! Come see what I got!" She grabbed Morpheus’ hand. Hesitated and grabbed Sirius’ hand and ran out of the room dragging the two wizards behind her. |
Narcissa watched the spectacle with faint amusement. "She is the one in charge?" |
"Lady Malfoy you have no idea who your husband and Voldemort are messing with. I suggest you get out now while you still have a head." Harry’s eyes were cold as ice as he turned and walked away. |
"Yes. She’s a bit off but damned good at what she does. How do you think that she knew that you were sent to betray her to Voldemort?" Niki raised a brow. |
Narcissa held the other woman’s gaze. "For my son I would betray all nine levels of hell." |
"I like her." Niki smirked at Narcissa and walked out. |
Tony and Jamila followed her. |
Narcissa was about to follow them, when Brian blocked her path. "We are much more dangerous than glorified babysitters. Try to remember that the next time that you think of betraying her." He held his hand out to indicate for her to go first. |
Narcissa saw the smile he gave her, but the cold and ruthless determination that he held in his eyes made her almost shiver. |
"Of course." Narcissa said. |
"Then shall we continue on with our day?" |
Narcissa gave a short nod and walked towards the exit. "Where are they?" She asked. She was shocked when her wand appeared in her hand. "How did..." |
"Magic." Odell said plainly as he guided her towards Twilfitt and Tattings. |
Narcissa was almost bowled over when a rocket knocked into her. "I wanna show my brothers and the team the dress! Not you Sirius! I want it to be a surprise!" |
"I left the..." Narcissa started, but stopped when Odell produced the magazine to her. She looked at him and said, "Thank you." After ushering Sirius down the road, Narcissa showed everyone the dress. They all agreed it would be perfect for Carmen. It was bold, yet elegant. Brash, yet beautiful at the same time. |
Sirius leaned up against a wall a bit away and just smiled. The women had gone to pick up the rest of Carmen’s order while chatting about fashion at the same time. He would give anything to see that joy on Carmen’s face forever. |
"So dear godfather. When is the wedding?" Harry smirked. |
"Are you actually blushing?" Harry smiled. |
Sirius glared at Harry before he stood straighter as her brother and Tony approached him. |
"Tell me now. Is your cousin a threat?" Morpheus asked. |
Sirius raised a brow. "Of course she is. She’s a Black who is trying to protect her child." |
"She did all of this for her son? I find that hard to believe." |
Sirius was about to open his mouth when he nearly jumped out of his skin when Carmen appeared out of nowhere and relayed her conversation that she and Andromeda had over lunch with Narcissa. "What? I saw the two of you about to do your big brother thing and thought I would explain a few things. Gots to go. Can’t let th... |
"I knew I did the right thing when I left this country. That bastard! Why have you people not killed him yet?" Tony asked seriously. |
"Carmen and Harry believe that now is not the time. Harry wants to bring the government to heel first. To eliminate Malfoy now would create a power vacuum with everyone in his alliance vying for control. It could make a bad situation worse." Morpheus said. |
"Although after hearing that little tale I am seriously reconsidering my stance." Harry was livid. Draco Malfoy was a pompous arse, but no kid deserved that fate. |
"And this is why I hate politics." Sirius sighed. He looked up to see Carmen shrinking packages and putting them in her pockets as the women came out of the shop. They were all smiles, even Narcissa who was telling them the latest gossip. It was a sight that made Sirius’ heart soar. The looks on her bodyguard’s faces g... |
"We need to get inside of Gringotts. Now." Carmen said in a cheerful tone. One that was completely false if you didn’t know her. |
Harry, Tony and Morpheus didn’t hesitate and guided everyone to the bank. |
"What..." Sirius began as he was lightly pushed forward by Odell. |
"Keep moving." Odell ordered quietly. |
They made it to the steps of the bank and Carmen bowed to the guards. "Alert your kin. Twenty Death Eaters just came into Knockturn Alley. Intel says they’re headed this way." |
The guards nodded at her. Once inside they alerted their superiors. All of the patrons were ushered deeper into the bank for their safety by the goblin tellers and guards. |
"Carmen. What’s happening?" Sirius asked. Sensing the urgency, he had his wand in his hand. Harry was already on guard. |
She ignored him. "Tony and Niki. Up top." She said calmly. |
"On it Boss." Tony replied. Sirius looked on in fascination as the two scaled a wall and took positions at corners facing the doors and opposite sides of each other. They unshrunk two cases and pulled out what Sirius recognized as some sort of non magical weapon. |
"It would appear Carmen..." Deadskull said beside her with blades in hand and armor on. "...That I have just earned another commission." |
"Of course. Although you may find this kill boring. Apparently they are just new recruits." She looked to Sirius. "Notify the DMLE. I promised not to kill anyone if it could be avoided." When he hesitated she barked "Go!" He looked at her longingly but left to find a teller. |
"I need to floo the DMLE." The goblin who was already aware of the danger, nodded and showed him to the floo network. He threw in the powder and called for Amelia’s office. |
"Sirius? What can I do for you?" |
"Twenty Death Eaters showed up in Knockturn. Intel says that they’re headed to our position. Harry’s here and we think they’re after Carmen and her brother as well. That or they are stupid enough to try to invade Gringotts. We’re in the bank. Civilians have been taken to safety." |
"Do we have permission to enter?" Sirius could hear her shouting out orders in the background. |
Sirius turned his head to ask but was shocked when a taller than a normal goblin with obvious battle scars appeared next to him and placed his face in the flames. "I am the Director. You have permission to enter. This is a wizarding matter, and we do not wish to get involved. However, I must warn you. We have intent ba... |
"Understood. They all heard you. Coming through." |
Sirius watched as ten Aurors plus Amelia came through. |
He fell in step with Amelia. "How many?" |
"Two. They’re being held for questioning." Amelia said thinking about the two Aurors who backed out of taking the floo. |
"Narcissa?" Sirius stared at his cousin ready to banish her. |
"Sirius! I swear on my magic I didn’t know! An elf popped into the shop and the next thing I knew Miss LaVaunt was ordering us to get ready to leave. She warned Mr. Twilfitt of the danger and told him to warn others. Siri I swear! I did not know!" |
"She didn’t. I already scanned her. When this whole fucking fiasco of a war is over, Lucius Malfoy is mine." Carmen turned to the goblins ready for battle. "This fight is beneath your skill. If we fail, then feed them to a dragon. But know this. We will protect your kin with our lives. My Lord Ragnock. Let us prove to ... |
Ragnok thought for a moment and nodded at her. He called for another goblin to escort Lady Malfoy to a safe location. And instructed his warriors to stand back but at the ready in case the humans failed. |
"Sirius I..." Narcissa started. |
"I know. Go." Sirius kissed her cheek. He watched as she was led away. |
Amelia Bones began snapping out orders about positions and defense. Hopefully if this went well it would put the Ministry in a better standing with the Goblin Nation. |
"Well My Lord. This should be fun." Tonks said to Sirius as she stood next to him poised for battle. |
"Siri is everyone insane in our family? I mean how does one consider this fun?" Harry asked. |
"Hardly Tonks." Sirius snorted with his wand trained on the door. "And Harry, it would seem like it wouldn’t it?" |
Caille popped in. "Ten more just entered Diagon Alley. They’re going from shop to shop. Threatening and assaulting people. Two of them are currently trying to bring down the wards on the wand shop." She gave Carmen a pointed look. |
Sirius looked in alarm at Amelia. "If they get into Ollivander’s..." |
Carmen looked at Director Ragnok. "Is there another exit?" |
"Yes. I can show it to you." |
Carmen nodded. "Brian, Jamila, and Niki. See who you can save on the streets. Start with taking out the threat to the wand shop first. Then move on to the rest of them. Show them no mercy as they will show you none. Niki you’re the best one to be able to eliminate the threat from the roof." |
"Yes ma’am!" Niki climbed from her perch. More like jumped down and followed the others out. |
"We have a breach." Odell called out. "Took them long enough." He muttered the last part under his breath. |
"Never let it be said that all Death Eaters were that bright." Tonks snickered as she prepared herself for battle. |
Harry rolled his shoulders and neck as he prepared for his first actual battle. |
"As much as I wished you didn’t have to go through this, it’s our reality son. Remember your training. I’m right here with you." |
"Tony?" Carmen asked calmly with her knife in hand. |
"Covered." He called back. |
An elevated voice called out from outside the front doors. "We don’t wish to harm anyone. Have Harry Potter come out and no one will get hurt." |
Carmen cast her own sonorous. "No thank you. Tell Voldemort that I have more shopping to do, and my little brother is coming with me. Maybe another time." |
Every human and goblin in the room looked at her like she was crazy. |
"What? She was supposed to take me shopping in Prague, and I can always use a gay man’s perspective." Carmen defended herself. |
"How on earth did I get roped into shopping with you?" |
"You’ll get used to it." Morpheus said to Harry as he had his wand and blade in hand. |
Just then the doors burst open. |
"Seriously. The first thing you use is a stunner’ Miss LaVaunt thought. Carmen ducked under them and slid behind five of them and blasted them into a wall. She gave a satisfied smirk at the crunching of bones. |
Sirius had just saved Kingsley from a nasty hex and taken down the attacker violently. He no longer had a head. |
Tonks was fighting two Death Eaters. She had taken out one with a bone breaker to the knee and then the ribs. The other attacker lost his spine. |
There was a reason why Morpheus chose Brian and Odell as her bodyguards. Odell made it a point to send cutting curses to the necks of three of his opponents simultaneously. |
Bone breakers was the order of the day for Harry. He dodged a killing curse and removed the spine from his attacker. He and Sirius definitely worked well as a team. |
Carmen pressed the comms. "Tony. End this." She said as she sliced open someone’s throat while dodging a green spell and deflecting it to the ceiling. Most of the Death Eaters were down. A training party no doubt. Her and Morpheus were fighting side by side like always. An auror named Johnson was vicious in his attack ... |
"Six." Tony called out. He had to admit that even he had difficulty taking out the enemy. There was too much collateral damage in the way. |
Sirius sent a bone breaker to the neck of one Death Eater. He over powered a blasting hex to the face of another. Tonks slashed open the chest of another with a cutting curse that made it so his heart was visible and then blasted it. |
Amelia Bones knew that she would have to kill the Death Eater on top of her. She put aside her ministry teachings and used her back up wand on the chest of the man who was sitting on her thighs gloating. |
"Done." Tony called out. He still kept himself at the ready just in case. |

Niki ran and jumped across the rooftops of Diagon Alley with wand in hand and her rifle slung behind her. She made it to the building across from the wand shop just as it looked like the wards were about to buckle. One shot. Second shot. She called out over the comms. "Threat to the wand shop neutralized. Going to the ... |
Jamila heard a scream from what looked like an ice cream shop and made her way over. She concealed herself as she heard the wizard speak. "Here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to give me all the gold you have here, then I’m going to take this little lady in the back and become acquainted with her on a very perso... |
Jamila appeared behind him and sliced off the hand that was holding his wand. She then pointed her wand at the base of his skull and used a blasting hex. She turned to the little girl. "Are you alright little one?" She asked gently. They were almost completely covered in the attacker’s brain matter, but she managed to ... |
"Who are you?" The girl stammered out. |
"A friend. And I will not stand for anyone sexually assaulting anyone while I still draw breath." She turned to who she thought may be the owner or manager judging by his age and attire. "Do you have a cellar or a stock room? We are cleaning up the remaining Death Eaters, but you never know if more will show." |
"Yes. We have a cellar. It’s where we keep the dry goods." |
