By the time Rowle, Dolohov, and the Carrows had arrived at the hotel suite, Potter was gone. It had taken them a short while to track Potter from the airport. The cab-driver had given up the information without hesitation. But Alecto was hungry, and so they had wasted time waiting for her to torture the muggle. Finally Dolohov had had enough, and he announced that he was going ahead and that he would wait for the Carrows there.
Alecto was infuriated, why was she always rushed when she finally got an opportunity for some pleasure? She preferred muggle torture techniques because they were so much more inventive than the Cruciatus Curse. The process was part of the magic, and satisfaction could not be fully achieved if what should be savoured were rushed instead. Angrily, she grasped a curved blade, and slit the cabbie's throat. Some of the blood spray from his gaping neck spattered her face. At least Alecto got to see the light go out in his eyes and taste his blood. That was a partial release.
The extra time which they had taken wouldn't have made any difference anyway though, because Potter and his friends had clearly left hours before. The Death Eaters tried any number of spells to find traces of Potter's trail. But the spells weren't working properly.
"That magical field — it still seems to be interfering with our spells..." muttered Rowle.
"You think?" snapped Alecto sarcastically. "Of course it is, Idiot! If we want to find Potter we need to find the source of the interference and shut it down."
Rowle felt like using the Avada Kedavra curse on her right then and there. but he settled for blasting away at the suite with his wand. Amycus joined in the destruction, lazily flicking his wand. Meanwhile Alecto was conjuring a number of spells to detect at least the general direction of the source of the magical energy field.
Finally she chose a direction, based on her readings.
"Alright then, let's go. There's nothing more for us here."
As they disapparated, Dolohov used a modified confringo spell to create a massive explosion which demolished the entire top floor of the world famous hotel.
~o0o~
"Sure, I'd be happy to help. Anything for you Alex," Hugh Normous offered with his nasally voice. "My parents are out right now. You can use our Wizard portal."
Hugh had been the first person Alex could think of who might be inclined to help. He’d had a crush on Alex since he had met her at Wiz-Tech last summer, and his adoptive parents maintained a home in New York so that he could experience a bit of Normalcy, though they rarely went out in the Normal World themselves, as they were Giants. So here Alex was with Max, Harry, and Hermione, standing before the Normous's family portal.
"Thanks Hugh, I knew I could count on you," beamed Alex, giving Hugh a hug.
As Hermione and Harry stepped through the portal into the fog, they felt a whoosh and a tingling sensation. Hermione was awed. This was a whole separate dimension, a bubble of an alternate world within the "real' world. Her senses told her that this entire reality was maintained through an immense source of magical power. She glanced at Harry, and knew immediately without sking that his senses were even more attuned than hers to the magic.
Hermione was beginning to see a pattern emerge in her mind's eye. She surmised that there must be an energy core which powered this plane of existence. But she could think of only a couple of feasible ways to power the core. She pushed those thoughts aside for the moment to focus on the immediate situation.
"What's next?" she asked Max.
"Well at this point, I'd usually ask Justin, but he isn't here, so Alex will have to do!" Max wore his best stupid smile.
"Oh, thanks a lot Max!" groused Alex. "Okay, Hermione, where we go depends on what you want to do. Will these Death Eaters stop hunting you if they can't find you?"
"Of course not!" Harry quickly responded. "We've got to start hunting them back, and try to stop them before they start killing people — more people I mean; I expect they've already killed some. I think the best thing for you and your country would be if Hermione and I went back to England. That would draw them away from you, and we could deal with them there. Do you have a way to send us back from here?"
"NO! ...I mean yes we have a way, but there is no way I'm sending you back to England — at least not without me," Alex declared.
Max nudged Harry in the ribs.
"See dude, what'd I tell you...?" he said in a loud stage whisper. Harry shook his head and smirked. Hermione giggled, and Alex stuck out her tongue at Max. But the uncomfortable truth was that Max was hitting a nerve in the three of them.
"Nooo..." Alex said, shiftily looking off to the side for an excuse, but the truth just popped out, "It's just that I know that if these Death Eaters exist, and that I really, really like Harry and Hermione, then I have to help them. We're connected somehow!"
"I know you are..." retorted Max, the stupid smile never once leaving his face. Alex threw up her hands with a disgusted look on her face and walked away from him.
"Okay," she said firmly to Harry, "If you and Hermione think it's better to go back to England fine, then I'm coming with you. That's the deal."
"And if Alex goes with you, then I have to come too," Max asserted. "I'm not letting my sister face danger without me."
Harry was liking Max more and more. He suspected there was a lot more going on behind that stupid smile.
"Right then," began Harry, "so Hermione, I think we should..."
"...stay here because the Death Eaters are here now anyway..." continued Hermione.
"...and they'll keep looking here, and killing until they've decided that we really have gone back to England. But I have no idea what we should do next..." he admitted grimly.
Hermione had been giving that some thought. Dolohov and Rowle were ruthless, and Dolohov had a certain sort of brutal intelligence, but it was Alecto Carrow who had probably taken charge. She and her brother were both sadistic murderers, but Alecto was the one with brains. She would look for a way to shut down whatever was stopping their tracking spells from working.
"Alex, is there sort of a central power station for Wizard World?" Hermione asked.
"I think so," replied Alex. "But we'll probably have to go to City Hall to find out where. Why?"
"Because I think that the Death Eaters will be looking for the biggest power source so that they can shut it down and make it easier for them to find us. That's where Alecto will take them first, and we need to be there to stop them. She's very smart, and it won't take her long to find a way in here once she's pinpointed the location of your power core."
