AN Chapter 78 Ambush!
Hermione woke up in her bed fully dressed, head pounding and found an arm over her chest holding her down looking to her fully clothed fiancée and lifted the arm so she could get up. She felt like the living dead vowing never to drink that vile stuff again. She groaned out in pain as she sat up and held her head.
Severus woke when he felt her move. "Hangover potion on the bed stand Hermione and I suggest you take it. You smell like a brewery and know that you are suffering."
Hermione growled out incomprehensibly and grabbed the phial drinking it down feeling immediately better.
She looked down to Severus laying in bed looking up to her. "You don't regret that I held back working at the Ministry?"
He held his arms out to her indicating that she should join him and wrapped his arms around her when she did. "No Hermione. How you put up with the fools that work there I'll never know. You are driven in research after all and I understand it. So did your pity party with Potter go well?"
"Yes Severus and thank you. I know we should have been together last night and appreciate the gesture. How did I get back here?" Hermione inquired.
"I was not amused to find you wrapped in another man's arms passed out…"
"But it's Harry!" She grumbled out in defense.
"Hmmm." He gruffed out. "You still smell like a brewery. Go clean yourself up while I ponder your words."
Hermione left the bed and shot a glare at him as she moved to his bath chambers.

The group arrived at the secluded manor in the Norfolk countryside and knocked on the door.
Tetwell opened the door. "Come in all. I just need to prepare a few things and we'll be ready. Just step into that room and I'll be back in a moment." Watching the group walk passed him and closed the door behind him.
Welford spoke in fear. "That man is not Tetwell because he would never answer the door himself." pulling Poppy behind him and tried the door finding it locked.
The witches and wizards pulled their wands out.
"There is no window or means of escape Albus." Severus snarled failing to unlock the door wondering how they were found out. "Skeeter did you tell anyone about this?"
The reported stuttered out. "No I swear! I destroyed the parchment when I read it!"
"You always have your assistant read your correspondence! Did she receive it first?"
Rita's silence was confirmation as Severus snarled out "Damnation!"
Kingsley rumbled out. "The enchantments around this room are strong. We cannot Aparrate and I can break them but it will take time."
"Break them Kingsley but time is a commodity that we do not have." Albus calmly replied as he placed a disillusionment spell around them and began a complicated spell to create the group sitting in chairs chatting."
"Move against the wall and stay still. They will not come in right away. We must subdue and bring them to justice so do not kill." Albus commanded
The group complied and watched replicas of them sitting in chairs idly chatting.
Hermione stood against the wall watching in amazement for the Headmaster created an interactive illusion. "Amazing!" She whispered out.

Tetwell opened the door to the treatment room stepping over bodies. "As promised I have them in a room that is heavily enchanted and they cannot get out."
Yaxley looked to the polyjuiced Minister and grinned wickedly. "You've redeemed yourself you pathetic man. After I kill Potter I will talk to you about our future relationship."
"We had a deal. Potter killed and that would be enough with no future contact."
Yaxley laughed. "The agreement has changed. Go away you pathetic wizard and wait."
He watched the man leave and motioned his fellow Deatheaters to follow him. He had a small following but it would be enough for this. He cursed that his brother stood up to him telling him that his Assassin Master pulled him away from the task stating that it was a lost cause and not worth the death of his brother. He would have words with his brother after his success.
Yaxley and his followers moved to the door and released the lock opening the door and watched Harry stand up. "Dr. Tetwell is everything ready?"
They pounced into the room with wands drawn and found them tied up and gagged as several ropes spun out from the side of the room.
The room shimmered for a moment and Yaxley found himself under wand point.
Welford wailed out and rushed from the room cane thumping with Poppy and Hermione following close behind him until he stood at the door of the treatment and looked at the bloody mess in the room and located his friend. "Tetwell!" He cried out rushing to the bloody large form in a pool of blood in the middle of the room and pulled his friend's limp body to him.
"Poppy! Love! Please save him! I know you can! Use your magic Love!" He wailed out.
Poppy pointed her wand observing the readings and gently placed her hand on the sobbing man's shoulder. "There is nothing I can do for your friend Welford for he has passed to the Veil." She whispered to him. "I need to check the others." Patting his shoulder for a moment before checking the four other bodies with Hermione as her fiancée howled out in grief.
Meanwhile Kingsley clamped bracelets on the subdued wizards to dampen their magic and looked to Yaxley hearing shouts outside the room.
"Uncle Welford come back here!" Hermione shouted out. Her uncle moved fast for one clumping about with a cane. She lost sight of him and caught up to him standing in the doorway of the room they were previously trapped in.
Welford leaned on the frame looking to the four bound on the floor and spoke with no emotion. "Who is responsible for this?"
Severus looked to the scrawny muggle noticing he held his free hand behind his back. "This one is the leader and the cause of all the deaths. His name is Yaxley and he is wanted." Pointing to the tall man with blunt, hard features tied up on the floor.
Welford moved in and whipped his free hand forward as the others backed away noticing the muggle gun in his hand and watched it point down to the man.
"You do not deserve to live!" Welford shouted out in anger.
Albus moved forward and spoke calmly. "Welford leave him to our world. I promise that that he will have a far worse death from justice in the Wizarding world than if you kill him with your muggle gun. I promise Welford that you can attend his execution. Kingsley is here and he is the head of our Law Enforcement."
Kingsley joined Albus. "The Headmaster is right Welford and I promise you can attend. Most witnesses say that it is almost unbearable to watch."
The gun shook in Welford's hand as Hermione whispered from behind. "They suck away the soul before they die Uncle. Like they never existed as they fade into nothingness denied entrance to Heaven or Hell." Using terms he was familiar with.
She reached over and lowered her Uncles shaking hand and moved beside him and took the handgun out of his hand.
She watched Severus move the sobbing man and helped him to sit down on the sofa and turned to watch.
Kingsley bent down and removed the gag and Yaxley laughed out. "Muggles are weak and this pitiful man proves it as he does not kill me. Not that he could with that piece of metal. Magic is superior to anything muggle!"
Welford mutter. "The man mocks me. I should have killed him and consequences be damned." Sobbing out louder.
Hermione looked to Yaxley and Severus noticed her eyes flash in anger for a moment before she moved to where Yaxley could see her and spoke in a sweet voice. "Shame that you say that Yaxley. I see the bracelet containing your magic and right now you are as muggle as he is."
She looked at the handgun. It was a World War II American Colt 45.
Hermione smiled sweetly. "Let's find out Welford's intent Yaxley." Using both hands to aim the gun downward as everyone shouted "No Hermione!"
A loud bang sounded out and everyone watched as Yaxley screamed out in pain when Hermione shot his foot.
Poppy rushed in at the sound and found a man screaming in pain as blood seeped from a hole in his boot.
"You are dressed in medical garbs! Heal me witch and take away this pain! Oh Gods this is unbearable!" Yaxley screamed out seeing the medi-witch.
Poppy saw the smoking gun in Hermione's hand and crossed her arms. "I can't do that. A healer is the only one authorized to heal muggle inflicted wounds. I'm afraid one is not here."
"Anything! I'll tell you all of it now! The Minister! He approached me to kill werewolves and Harry Potter. What does it matter now as there is enough here to seal the Kiss and I will not go down alone!"
"Your magic is contained but Vow it to bind your words!" Kingsley commanded.
"I Vow it!" Yaxley snarled out.
Poppy knelt down and used her wand to Vanish Yaxley's boot and felt her fiancée kneel next to her. "The bullet went straight through Poppy. Look at the bottom of the foot."
Poppy saw the exit wound. "So it is a hole. I am out of my depth Welford."
Welford pulled a cotton hankie from his pocket and wiped the blood away and noticed that it seeped. "No major arteries nicked. Heal the wound and bring the skin over with magic Poppy. It will heal cleanly in time. Perform the charm that you used when a young girl came in with a deep puncture wound."
Poppy performed the charm and watched reddened skin cover the hole on both top and bottom. "You are healed."
"My agreement involved getting rid of this pain! It burns!" Yaxley snarled out.
Severus moved next to Poppy and handed her a phial and she took it recognizing pain potion.
"You are worse than the students!" She admonished and administered the potion.
"Better." Yaxley muttered out.
No one noticed Kingsley had left and brought back eight Aurours that he trusted. One was Aurour Basic Johnson.
"You!" Severus snarled out recognizing the Minister's lackey.
"Hold your words Severus. Everyone makes mistakes and deserves a second chance. I think that you would agree with that." Kingsley rumbled out.
Severus glared at the man in silence.
Kingsley addressed the waiting Aurours. "Take these to the Ministry and seal them into cells and inform the Head that I will be there momentarily to explain. Johnson and Taylor will stay and document the murder scene."
The group watched all but Johnson and Taylor disappear with the prisoners.
Kingsley addressed Taylor. "Start the investigation and Johnson will be along shortly."
The older man nodded and left without a word.
Kingsley turned to the young witch and spoke in a gentle rumbling voice. "You know that you will be called up in the trial. Can you do this?"
Johnson looked to Snape defiantly. "I can and will do the right thing despite what others will think of me in the future. I was misled and realize my mistakes."
"Taylor will be the lead and I will feign ignorance until Discovery. Understand?"
Johnson nodded and left.
Kingsley addressed Rita. "I need fair reporting and I know you are here for Harry. You heard from Yaxley he is in bed with ex-Deatheaters and need a statement from you. Will you come with me? I'm sure Harry will tell you everything later."
Rita moved to the tall wizard and nodded and Apparated out of the room.
Draco noticed that Hermione still held the muggle gun. He moved to her not wishing for any accidental firing after he saw what the seemingly innocent thing did to Yaxley and removed it from her hands and cautiously placed it on a table next to her before falling next to Harry. "This is a mess!" He growled. "We have to do this today so that the research will be recognized as this is the day after the moon. This pushes us back thirty days."
Welford looked at the blonde haired wizard and pulled himself together. "No! We go forward! Tetwell and his staff's death will not go in vain!"
Welford stood up and thumped over to Harry. "I set this up here to make you comfortable but I can do the same thing in my lab at home. Hermione and Poppy can be my assistants and I assure you this is a normal procedure for me. Despite the loss of my senses earlier you can trust me."
Harry noticed the pleading look in his eyes and watched Hermione nod. He trusted her with his life. "I trust you Dr. Granger."
Welford smiled. "Then let's get started for it will take about eight hours and the oil is burning. Ahhhoooo sweet Poppy! Give us an hour and then bring him to us niece. Take us away my Sweet!"
Poppy grabbed Welford's hand and Dis-apparated with a loud bang.
Severus watched Draco noticing the disturbed look on the young wizards face and moved to him.
"That muggle is not sane Godfather. Did you see how his emotions changed? It's scary." Draco whispered.
Severus whispered back. "I promise you Draco that all will be well. I thought the same when I first met him until he explained it. It is how he copes."
Draco nodded. "I do not want to be here and we have an hour. Let's go where there is life and not death."
Albus looked to the group. "After the Ministry is through I must hide this and explain a plausible reason. Thieves broke into this place for drugs. I'll come as soon as everything is settled." Leaving the room.
"Can you take us to The Forest of Dean Hermione? You remember that from our travels." Harry spoke.
"That is a peaceful and remote place Harry. Give me a moment." Looking around the room and located a book and charmed it into a Port Key.
"Everyone touch this." Hermione commanded.
Harry, Draco, Severus, and Hermione felt themselves pulled away.
