Harry Potter And The Rise Of A Protector - Chapter 168

-Malfoy Manor

“Geri Greyback, you shall lead the assault. This is the portkey needed to reach Azkaban and return. It is time to prove yourself and demonstrate the skills many have praised.” Voldemort said as he looked at all his followers and levitated an old fashioned key o a large metal key ring to his chosen subordinate.

“As you wish my Lord.” The raven haired female werewolf responded. “What of the Dementors? I was under the impression that they would be coming under your banner.”

“Have no fear. They know of your arrival and shall not interfere.” The Dark Lord answered confidently.

And why shouldn’t he be? The creatures remembered him and the last war. They remembered all the souls they were able to feast upon and it was all too easy to promise the return of those times.

“Then I shall take my leave with your permission.” She replied in a disciplined manner.

“Go and bring my lost followers home. It is time for them to receive their rewards for their loyalty.” Voldemort said as he sent the woman off.

With a bow towards the Dark Lord, the wild beauty took her leave.

“My lord, is it prudent to let a mercenary take on such a mission? A beast at that.” A very cautious Lucius Malfoy asked, with silent support from a good number of those currently sitting at the large table.

“You all need not fret. I have simply sent the dogs to kill a few men. Should they die, it would only mean they were not even useful enough to keep. Should they succeed then I simply have leashed mongrels to sick on those who would stand before me.” The Dark Lord responded as he truly did not care for the lives of werewolves. They were only a temporary tool to spread fear.

“As expected of you my lord. To perfectly use those beasts in order to serve their betters.” The placated lieutenant said as the rest nodded in agreement.

“Now I want everything to be ready for the return our loyal men and women. Although the Dementors are joining us, they would not show mercy on those loyal to me while I was indisposed and they will need treatment before those who return can fight once again.” The grey-skinned man ordered, making those in charge start moving as he commanded.

So with a flurry of activity within the manor, the woman they looked down upon as a simple beast, was fulfilling her own duties.

‘My Lord,

I have been ordered to assault Azkaban personally. I shall keep you updated on those who will be joining the target.

Any new objectives?’ Was the message she sent to her true master.

‘Everything you need has been prepared at New Moon safe house 6.

Keep on mission unless something which crosses the bottomline occurs.

One additional objective: Kill Ignacius Avery. Mandatory.

Guards have already been changed to undesirables for the week. Lethal force authorized.

Also, Scott says he loves and misses you.’

“I miss him too.” I sighed with a wistful smile on my face after reading Master’s reply.

‘Alright, no time to be sad. After this Op these bastards will be quiet for a while in order to help the escapees recover. That’ll give me some time, plus I can say that I need to lay low just in case. It’ll also help that the holidays are near, it means most of those so called purebloods will need to attend some kind of function or gathering.

Hehe, Scotty better be ready cause I’m a hungry wolf.’ I thought as I cheered myself up at the thought of enjoying the holidays with my love.

But with my orders confirmed, I grabbed the proper portkey to reach the right safe house after sending out her own orders to her men.

“Let’s see what toys Master has prepared for me.” I say to myself with an excited smile as I approached the cozy looking home.

It was a simple two story house, with faded white paint covering the wooden siding. It had a small porch with a few rocking chairs, a wide window from the living room, a garage and screen door. Something which a person would think about when they thought of a farmers home.

I approached the garage door instead of the main house door and activated a simple looking ring on my right index finger.

The silver band was something my master and his friend created for his trusted friends, family and subordinates. Each has access to a certain degree of his projects, properties or safe houses. They also come with a variety of protective enchantments and are made to only work for the wearer. They also include failsafes to shut down when the wearer’s mind has been influenced.

“Truly amazing. But I expect nothing less from master’s friend.” I proudly said to myself as the garage opens for me.

I then walk to the workshop area at the back and then Stood in front of the tools hanging on the wall.

“The left hand has come to take her blade.” I spoke out as I channeled some Magic into my ring.

With a blue glow of acceptance, the wall was then replaced by one full of infiltration, espionage and combat gear.

‘Master is beyond a genius, but he can be a bit childish sometimes.’ I thought as I remembered him saying this inspired by muggle spy movies.

•Peruvian instant darkness powder: Perfect for quick getaways and to confuse your ennemies.

•Heat signature Specks: Useful when one is in the dark and doesn’t want to cast any Magic.

•Anti-Dementor Lockets: just like the name says, it stops Dementors from being able to feed of the wearer.

•Bombarda rune disks: Can stick to any surface, timer or trigger options, and is capable of bringing down a building if placed properly. Adjustable strength.

•Custom ward jammers: If they aren’t made by Master, then these will rip through pretty much anything.

•Custom Portkey/Apparition/Floo/communication blockers: No reinforcement for the target any time soon.

•Death Eater masks and robs: just to be safe.

•Utility belt: because apparently if a comic book character named after a bat is fine with it, I should be too. It is useful after the space expansion charms are added though.

•Schematics and guard patrol routes/schedule for Azkaban.

After making sure I had everything, I walked out of the garage and waved my right hand to make the place lock itself. Then I apparated to the meeting location for my team.

With a quiet apparition, I now stood outside a forest which was owned by master. He really owns a lot more than people could ever guess. Without hesitation, I walked towards the meeting area.

“If you don’t tell me the password I’ll have to put you down. Even if you look like the boss.” A rough male voice said from above as I could feel three other presences around me getting ready to attack.

“We hunt big game tonight.” I answered back, satisfied over my men’s caution.

“That we do. Glad to see you too boss. So are we really doing it then?” The rough voiced man asked as he jumped down from a tree.

He had short brown hair, wild blue eyes, a few claw marks on his face, and strong looking chin. He stood 6’3, muscles evident from whatever angle you looked and the feel of a predator like most of our kind.

“That’s the job Jor. Got some goodies to get things done too, so let’s gather with everyone.” I answered to my second in command.

“Then this should be fun.” He followed up with a wild smile spreading on his face. “At least more fun than all those babysitting gigs.”

“I’m pretty sure kidnapping some people isn’t what most would consider babysitting.” I shot back with a wry smile.

“That tends to happen when you tell them your a werewolf who’s feeling bity.” I replied lightly as we reached the temporary camp my men set up for this meeting.

“That it does.” He simply said with a face which was reminiscing on fond memories.

So with a soft sigh and a shake of my head, I called out to my team. “Alright boys and girls, gather up! I don’t want to explain this twice!”

As my trusted team gathered, I transfigured the ground into a proper table to place the info I had of the op site.

It took little time for my team of twelve to fall in and stand in attention.

“Now that everyone’s here, I’ll start.

Our mission is to break into Azkaban, kill all the guards and take out those willing to fight for target V. There is only one exception deemed to be too dangerous: Ignacius Avery. He must die.

All guards have been identified and marked as undesirables, giving us clearance to use lethal force against all of them. But I would prefer leaving one survivor to really mess with the Ministry.

Dementors have already been compromised, but I have additional protection in each of your goodie bags.

With the basic parameters revealed, does anyone have questions about these before I move on to the attack plan?” I said with confidence and authority as I started at all my people.

“Why kill one old man?” Jor questioned out of curiosity more than anything.

“His research, insanity and lack of moral limitations have been marked as extremely dangerous by our Lord. He also personally tortured and experimented on him when the lord was still a child.” I answered with barely contained fury at the thought of the man still breathing.

The answer caused the entire team’s outrage to rise since. They are all very loyal to myself and the lord as well. All of them are people who’ve found a good life because of him and who would die for him if needed.

“Got it. The old bastard won’t live past the night.” Jor responded while looking deadly serious.

“Good, moving on then.

We’ll start with Daliah and Sean on infiltration. You two will plant the initial explosives at designated spots. You are also in charge of making sure Avery dies ‘accidentally’.

Jerome, David And Will, you three will be with Jor, attacking from an entry point at the top, which will be made by Daliah and Sean. The six of you will then work together to sweep towards the ground floor.

The rest of you will be with me, taking the main entrance, making our own sweeps as we head upwards.

We strike hard, fast and efficiently. Everyone will have a supply of darkness powder and a pair of Heat Specks, giving us an even better opening advantage.” I explained as I distribute everyone’s roles. “Any questions?”

“Yeah. How many guards?” One of my most skilled infiltrators asked. Sean is a smaller blonde man with grey eyes and a lithe build perfectly suited for flexibility and speed.

“We have 18 confirmed in Azkaban less then an hour ago. Next shift is not until 8am and no new prisoners or visits have been scheduled. But be vigilant anyway.” I answered almost immediately.

“What’s the exit plan?” Jor asked this time as he looked at the schematics of the prison.

“Target V has specified a drop-off site which is linked to the portkey he has given me. As soon as we finished our objectives and gathered the targets, I will bring them with me and all of you shall return here before dispersing.” I answered the large man.

I waited a few moments to let anyone else speak up, but seeing no one I decided to move on.

“Alright. Look over the info and gear up, we leave in an hour.”

-mini time skip.

“Everyone ready?” I asked as I looked around to see my crew in their death eater attires.

Getting nods of confirmation, I held out the key, signaling to everyone to grab onto each other.

A moment later, we all felt the familiar pull of the portkey activating and we moved through space itself. The feeling could be difficult for infrequent users, but to everyone here it is a mild annoyance at this point.

We then landed right in the small cemetery for those unclaimed by their families after passing away during their time in the prison.

While checking our surroundings before going invisible, I could tell why they call this place a hell on earth even without the hundreds of Dementors. The Fortress turned prison just radiated dread. From the dark stones making up the building, unceasing crashing of the waves under the ever present black cloud covered sky, the soul chilling feeling its inhabitants left upon the island and the hopelessness the prisoners have always felt within those walls.

‘Master told me about how Barty Crouch Jr was smuggled out of this place. This meant Barty Crouch Sr left his own wife to be buried on this horrible island, under someone else’s name and without any possibility to be visited. Pissed me off when I learnt about that.’ I thought as I momentarily let my mind drift due to our present location.

“You all know your roles. Begin the operation.” I declared emotionlessly as I focused on the mission.

With saying a word they all knew what to do.

Jor and his group took out their brooms and headed near the infiltration point.

Sean and Daliah immediately headed towards the entrance.

Then my group split up in order to set up the ward jammers and teleport blockers around the island before regrouping near the entrance.

Ten minutes later everyone was in position and awaiting the explosive sign to begin.

And what a great sign it was. Just the explosion at the entrance left a massive hole in place of the heavily enchanted steel doors previously placed there. Plus the hole at the top and the darkness powder which was set to go off with the explosions, resulting in massive amounts of black smoke pouring out of the two new openings.

I didn’t even speak, simply started sprinting towards the opening, my team following behind me as I expected.

Running through the hole, I spotted two bodies with missing or partially torn off limbs, meaning only 16 guards were now known to be active.

But I knew where to find more.

I immediately turned down the left hallway and ran towards the rest room, knowing a few guards would undoubtedly be there.

Before we even reached the place I could hear at least three different coughs coming from where the room was located.

We finally spotted our targets, with four confirmed in the hallway itself as they tried to make their way to the exit.

Without missing a beat, I quickly shot Master’s combat version of the severing charm and decapitated the closest target. Two spells were shot from my team, causing another’s head to explode and the third was vomited blood as his entrails were most likely exploding. This left only one guard who still didn’t notice our presence nor his coworkers deaths. But with a wave of my hand, a small knife flew out from my robe and went through his skull before returning no worse for wear. A gift from my Master.

With a quick sweep of the ground floor, only finding an unfortunate man caught with his pants down as he hurriedly tried to make his way out of the toilet, we then moved to clear the other floors.

We found a pair who appeared to have been patrolling when all the explosions went off. I didn’t even slow down as pierced one’s heart with my blade and made the other’s c.h.e.s.t explode.

Passed another body which was caught in the opening fireworks.

Then we made it to the middle of the towering prison, reaching the guard post which was set to help either the ground or top floors should something happen, as well as monitor the middle floors. And it seemed the three stationed there understood what was going on and had made a defensive formation.

Too bad for them this wasn’t a duel and I had permission to kill all guards on site. So I took out an explosive disk, set it to 1/3 of the usual power and ordered my team to take cover. I did the same, threw the disk into the middle of the trio and just set it off, only giving them enough time for one last pain-filled scream as they died in pieces.

We were about to continue on our way, but then Jor’s group entered the room meaning they had finished sweeping the top floors as well.

So with a wave of my wand, I cleared out the already thinning smoke.

“Report.” I ordered the group.

“5 confirmed kills, no injuries or fatalities on our side. No unintended casualties noted nor any escapees. Target A was confirmed dead. We even have a present for the boss if needed.” Jor answered immediately.

“Good. We have 13 confirmed kills from the ground to here, making the full 18. I want a full secondary sweep of the building to make sure we didn’t miss anything. Make sure to check for any useful information in either the records room. After that we will begin extracting the targets.” I ordered, making my team take action immediately.

After only 20 minutes since the beginning of our operation, we had full control over Azkaban and everything it contained. When then began to gather the imprisoned Death Eaters, past sympathizers and possible recruits for transport. The total was 23 individuals.

And boy was Bellatrix Lestrange even worse than I was warned. It was extremely difficult to stop myself from killing the insane bitch who caused my master so much suffering. But master said she was to be allowed to live for now. So I ignored the crazy cackling witch and focused on finishing my mission.

So with another successful mission, I had all of these so called people hold onto each other and activated the portkey once again.
