Enemies-No-More (III) [Chapter 253]

~~Hall of Prophecies~~

“Is everything alright?” Saul asked in a concerned tone when he noticed the irritated frown on Harry’s face.

“Do you have a working Ritual Room?” Harry asked without looking at him.

“Uh, yeah, we do. Is there a Ritual you want to perform?” Saul asked in a careful tone.

“Yes. There is a person I want to find with their blood” Harry answered as he finally turned around to look at Saul even though he couldn’t see the man’s face.

“Well, we can do that, but if the person is hiding under a Fidelius, then no dice” Saul answered with a hum.

“I don’t believe they are hiding under Fidelius, so I don’t think we are going to have any hitches” Harry answered and Saul simply nodded his head in understanding.

“Alright. Follow me then” Saul said before turning around on his heel and Harry simply followed the man out of the Hall of Prophecies. After moving across a couple of departments, they finally arrived inside one of the Ritual Rooms. “This is my personal Ritual Room” Saul explained.

Harry, who was looking around the room, froze for a moment and nodded his head in understanding. He was wondering why the room was so well stacked…well, now he knew.

So, without wasting any time, Harry opened a small Portal and he put the two Prophecy orbs inside the Portal before closing it. Then he opened another similar-sized Portal and pulled out a small vial filled with blood.

“Will this do?” Harry asked and Saul inspected the vial after he took it from Harry.

“Yes, this will do. By the way, who are you trying to find?” Saul asked curiously as he turned back toward Harry.

“...I am trying to find Himera” Harry answered after thinking for a bit, making Saul frown.

“She has the Sigil, right?” Saul asked with a frown, getting a nod from Harry.

“Yes, she does, but for whatever reason it is not working. I can’t get an exact read of her location…” Harry answered with a hint of displeasure in his voice. This was the first time the Sigil of the Lost wasn’t working.

|Do you think the ones who attacked Amelia are responsible for this?| Lily asked in a thoughtful tone.

|It is very likely, but at the same time, it can be another group| Harry answered without thinking much. It was now clear to him that it was possible to block the Sigil, which meant he needed to improve it if he didn’t want a repeat of this incident.

Meanwhile, he should ask for a small sample of blood from all of his followers since it would take time to improve the Sigil and he wouldn’t be able to fix it until he learned how the Sigil was being blocked in the first place.

“I see… Do you want me to perform the Ritual…” Saul began to speak, but Harry cut him off before the man could finish.

“No. This is your Ritual Room, so you do the honors” Harry decided to place the responsibility on top of Saul’s shoulders since he didn’t want to mess around another person’s Ritual Room. Saul simply gave him a nod before he started to prepare the Ritual.

While Saul started to work on the Ritual, Harry decided to contact his followers…

‘Kate, what are you doing?’ Harry sent the message, and he didn’t have to wait long to get a reply.

‘Nothing special. Is something up?’ Kate asked in an excited tone, hoping for a job or something.

‘Yes. Grab a few people who like yourself and want for me’ Harry answered, getting another message in return.

‘We will be ready, boss…’ The message trailed off with a cackle.

Harry shook his head as he started to wonder if he should contact Gellert and Jacklyn… Gellert was probably busy with the task he gave the man, but he still decided to contact the man and as for Jacklyn, he decided to take her with him if she was free.

Yes, she fucked up on her first mission, but it could have happened with the best of them…

‘Gellert, are you free?’ Harry asked through the Mark.

‘...Not at this moment, is there something you want?’ Gellert asked after a few moments of silence.

‘Yes, Himera was taken and I can’t seem to find her through the Sigil’ Harry revealed and the line went silent for the next few seconds.

‘...Is there a chance that she was beheaded?’ Gellert asked after some time.

‘No. I am certain that she is alive. Her Sigil went completely dark when that happened the last time’ Harry answered with a shake of his head. ‘Her Sigil is strobing, but I can’t get a lock on’ Harry added.

‘I see… So, What do you want me to do?’ Gellert asked.

‘Grab some men and get ready. I will be there pretty soon’ Harry answered.

‘Ok’ Gellert said and the line went dark. After that, Harry finally decided to contact Jacklyn, wondering what the girl was doing. It has been some time since he had spent some time with her, he would need to do it soon. Then there was Tonks…

‘Jacky, Himera was kidnapped, probably’ Harry sent a message to Jacklyn.

‘What?! How?’ Jacky asked. ‘...Do you think it is Hydra?’ Jacky asked after a small pause.

Harry had to admit, he didn’t think of that. ‘No idea. Just get ready, I will be there soon to grab you’ Harry answered and after getting a message equivalent of a nod, he disconnected the connection.

|I am glad that I had her blood| Harry mused as Saul finally invoked the Ritual.

“I can’t seem to get an exact location of her, but she is somewhere in Portman Square, which is north of Marble Arch” Saul answered with a parchment in his hand.

“Thank you, that will be enough” Harry answered as he started to open a portal.

“Do you need any help?” The man asked hurriedly before Harry could step into the portal.

“No, it won’t be necessary and thanks for the help. I will deal with it myself” Harry said with a wave of his hand before he finally stepped through…
