New-Threats-On-Horizon (I) [Chapter 199]

Harry stared at the scarred man with an amused glint in his eyes… “Alastor ‘Mad-eye’ Moody, aren’t you ashamed of lurking around in the shadows like a creep?” Harry asked in a mocking tone, trying to get a rise out of the man and Alastor simply snorted at his words, looking completely unbothered.

“Beating you is more important” Alastor grunted in an indifferent tone as his fake eye continued to spin around.

“You sure have your priorities straight” Harry admitted with a mock frown. “So, what now? I hope you aren’t planning for another frontal assault” Harry asked in an amused tone, which made Alastor grimace. He knew when he was outmatched, but at the same time, he didn’t want to give up. The boy might be their only hope against Voldemort, but that didn’t mean that Alastor would allow him to run free.

The boy was an Auror Killer and who knows how many he would kill during the War, so there was simply no way that he could allow the boy to run amok anymore… The boy needed to be brought down, but after his recent display, Alastor wasn’t sure if the boy could even be defeated in the first place or not.

“Just like every other Dark Lord, you will lose too” Alastor declared with a snarl.

“Hmm… Dumbledore also mentioned something similar. I wonder if you guys practice your lines together” Harry wondered aloud, making Alastor growl at him in anger. “By the way, you remember what I told you the last time we met, right?” Harry asked and Alastor seemed to incline his head in confusion, before all of a sudden, he paled.

“Bye” Harry waved at the man with an amused look on his face before he was engulfed by a portal, trailing with a loud swearing.

“What is that Spell you used?” Filius asked, trying really hard to hide his curiosity. “And where did you send him?” He added after a few moments.

“If you want to learn that, you would need to join my group” Harry revealed and Filius didn’t seem happy with the answer. “And I sent him inside a MACUSA cell. It will be hilarious” Harry added with a chuckle, but neither Filius nor Minerva looked amused at his actions. Harry simply shrugged and decided to ignore the duo. The two of them didn’t have any sense of humor.

Then all of a sudden, Minerva stiffened and raised her Wand against her better judgment, but before she could cast anything, her Wand sailed out of her hand and landed in Harry’s waiting palm. Harry didn’t miss the fact that the Wand wasn’t pointed in his direction, but he wasn’t going to let her cast anything at Gellert, especially when he was basking in his glory after finally taking down Albus Dumbledore.

“I am sorry, but I can’t have you interrupting them” Harry said while twirling Minerva’s Wand in his hand. Minerva stared at him fearfully before glancing toward the downed form of Albus Dumbledore. Even after some of the shocking revelations, she couldn’t stop herself from caring about him. Albus may not be the paragon of Light they believed him to be, but he was a symbol for them and his fall was going to break their community.

Filius could also see the problem with the whole situation, but he wasn’t sure what to do… It was clear as day that he couldn’t beat Harry, none of them could, so trying to fight him was not an option… “Killing him would destroy Wizarding Britain…” Filius trailed off carefully, not wanting to anger Harry. He had seen what the boy could do in his casual mood, and he didn’t want to see what the boy might do if he was truly angry.

“Contrary to what all of you may believe, Wizarding Britain isn’t the only Wizarding Community in the world” Harry chastised the man. “Then again, Wizarding Britain survived after Merlin fell, I am sure it will survive even after Albus Dumbledore falls, or were you guys expecting him to wipe your asses for eternity?” Harry asked with a mocking frown on his face, making Filius grimace.

“Harry, what do you want to do with him?” Gellert finally arrived with the unconscious body of Albus Dumbledore and the man looked worse for wear as he had taken quite a beating from Gellert before he was finally knocked out.

“We take him… I have quite a few questions for him” Harry explained without looking back.

“Alright, then” Gellert nodded his head in understanding before he signaled all of his men to gather around so that they could finally leave. The Elder Wand was back in his possession, and he couldn’t wait to test it out after so many years. Well, if Harry didn’t take the Wand from him to conduct experiments, in that case, he would have to wait to use the Elder Wand until Harry was done.

It only took his members a few seconds to gather around and after that, Harry opened a portal so that they could leave… Just like Harry expected, nobody tried to stop them as the Ministry forces were still busy, trying to gather their dignity, and the Hogwarts staff didn’t want to mess with him after they saw what he did to the Ministry forces and they were deterred further from trying anything funny when even Filius and Minerva were completely powerless against him.

“It was nice meeting the two of you. Though I hope we can meet again, but under better circumstances” Harry waved at Filius and Minerva with a grin before he tossed the Wand back to Transfiguration Mistress. Then he turned around on his heel and entered the portal and as soon as he was gone, the portal closed behind his back. Even when his back was turned toward Filius and Minerva, neither of them tried to attack him from behind for obvious reasons.

“Filius, what are we going to do now?!” Minerva asked worriedly and instead of answering, Filius simply looked around.

“...We rebuild and hope for everything to be over soon” Filius declared grimly as he looked around at the destruction. The Ministry would be out for Harry’s blood, but he wasn’t sure if that would matter… While politics and peer pressure were a thing, Harry was inhumanly strong, and after a certain point, politics and peer pressure were simply meaningless in front of raw power…

~~Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire~~

“Can I have the Wand? I want to see if the legends are real or not” Harry asked Gellert as soon as he returned to the Malfoy Manor. To be honest, Harry didn’t believe that he would ever need the Elder Wand to increase his power, but he still wanted to see how the Elder Wand truly worked. Even though Gellert tried to hide it, he didn’t manage to hide his reluctance… At least not completely.

Still, he pulled out the Elder Wand and held it out for Harry. “You will need to disarm me to become its master” Gellert revealed and just as he finished speaking, the Elder Wand sailed out of his hand into Harry’s hand, and as soon as Harry grabbed the Wand, something happened. A long string of memories flashed inside Harry’s mind and it happened so fast that even with his advanced Occlumency, he reeled back in shock.

“Harry, are you alright?!” Gellert asked somewhat worriedly as he rushed toward Harry.

“Yeah… I am alright. The power feedback kind of took me by surprise” Harry answered, not wanting to reveal the truth to Gellert. The man smiled at his admission.

“Yes, it does that. It happened to me when the Wand accepted me as its master for the first time” Gellert explained with a smile on his face.

“I see…” Harry mumbled as he stared at the Wand in his hand in complete fascination before he finally decided to change the topic. “By the way, did you enjoy the fight?” Harry asked and Gellert glanced toward Dumbledore’s unconscious body lying on the floor before a grin appeared on his face.

“Yes, I did…” Gellert answered cryptically as he started to recall the fight…

~~FLASHBACK~~

<Line Break>

~~Unknown Location~~

A somewhat middle-aged man dressed in a floral shirt opened his eyes with a grimace on his face… “This is not good… Not good at all…” The man mumbled to himself before he stood up from his wooden rocking chair and stared at the horizon… A storm was coming and he wasn’t just referring to the storm at his doorstep. “Why did I ever buy this house?” The man complained, but he didn’t whine as men didn’t whine.

‘So that I could appreciate the beauty of this world, of course, silly me’ The man remembered as he stared at the ass of a woman running away from the beach along with her towel. Though she wasn’t the only woman running away, so the man was able to appreciate a lot of beauty… ‘God bless the man who invented thongs. Amen!’ The man silently prayed to god. Then his eyes turned toward the two beauties approaching his house.

He could see their titties bouncing around as they ran in his direction. “Mr M, there is a storm coming so I was wondering if me and my friend could stay over, please?” One of the women requested as she slightly leaned down to emphasize her assets.

‘I am nothing if not generous’ The man decided inside his mind. “Of course, you are welcome to stay for the night” The man happily gestured toward the door and the women beamed at him.

“Thank you, Mr M” Both women thanked him together at the same time before rushing inside the house. The man stared at their butts as the two of them went inside and they didn’t miss his gaze, so they simply decided to give him a show and started to strip. The man grinned and accepted the invitation, so for the time being, he decided to forget about Hadrian Potter as the boy wasn’t going anywhere.

‘Maybe, I should contact Agatha and Alan too… It has been quite some time since they had to deal with any unruly Magicians’ The man known as Mr M mused internally before taking off his shirt…
