Gill chuckled, “They already have replacements, which is a relief. Watch duty has had them going a bit nutty. Their target is quite annoying.”

A dozen Aurors appeared outside a certain cave near a rundown orphanage. They conjured up a boat and got inside. As the water carried them into the cave they each pulled out vials of some oddly fizzy potion. Once the boat traveled deep into the cave and stopped the potion was poured into the surrounding water.
“Everyone out! Agent Pat and I will focus on the horcrux so everyone else focus on destroying the inferi.” One Auror ordered as the water began bubbling violently.
One by one each Auror stepped out onto the stone ledge the boat docked at. Most of the trained professionals stood guard on the ledge. After all, dozens of corpse-like creatures began thrashing in the water. Only a few seemed to try to get onto the ledge as others began to dissolve. Each corpse was blasted back into where the bubbling water burned and broke down the dead flesh creatures.
A couple Aurors safely walked farther down the ledge as their colleagues handled the creatures in the water. At the end of the path, which was surrounded on both sides by the bubbling water on all sides, was an altar. On the stone altar was a bowl filled with a potion just as Kreacher described.
“The locket should be inside the potion. Kreacher said it was deadly. Good thing Voldemort used a tough elf and not a Death Eater.” The lead Auror said and glanced at her colleagues who were finishing up with the inferi removal. She pulled a familiar coin out of her pocket and held it right up against the bowl. “Yep! I feel a very strong signal.”
The other Auror at the altar, Agent Pat, hummed and tapped her chin in thought, “If the bowl isn’t cursed we should just take it and the goblins can take it from there.” She commented as she scanned the bowl with her wand. “It’s enchanted to refill itself and it’s cursed to force anyone who touches it to drink the potion soooo …” The Auror reached into her pocket and pulled out a familiar purple bag and a suction cup.
“I’ll hold the bag.” The head Auror said and took the bag. As the one Auror held it open the other Auror carefully lowered the suction cup. “Heads up!” She called as one of the last thrashing inferi instinctively trying to grab anything that would get it out of the fizzy bubbling water that was destroying it. Unfortunately, it was trying to grab Pat’s leg, but it was quickly shot back into the water where it fell into large fleshy pieces.
“Nice shot.” Agent Pat commented absentmindedly focusing more on her task than the fact that she was nearly dragged into the water. The suction cup was lowered into the potion and pulled up with a locket firmly in its grasp. “Got It.”
The lead Auror held the bag steady and watched the locket fall in, “It’s done. Finish destroying the inferi. Agent Pat, collect the bowl for proper disposal first. Just use the suction cup and hold it until we’re done here. Don’t want to confuse things by using the bag.”
As instructed the suction cup was maneuvered to grab the bowl. Not wanting to distract the goblins from the most important task, the purple bag was put away. Agent Pat continued holding the handle of the suction cup as everything was cleaned up. Thankfully, that didn’t last long and they were soonall back In Gringotts.
“Ok, Agent Clay, Agent Stokes and Agent Green. You guys go take over watch for Gill’s team. Agent Pepperton will join you after dinner. Everyone else, listen for the update.” The head of this Auror team said as Pat separated from the group.
Pat walked over to RazorBlood, “This might be handled better by your curse breakers.” She explained as the three Aurors left the wizarding bank to swap places with a team of werewolves.
The goblin looked at the potion filled bowl, “That would be wise.” RazorBlood said and snapped his claws. A team of human curse breakers soon appeared and took the suction cup and bowl off the Aurors hands. “As for other news, we have confirmed that the locket was the last horcrux and Voldemort demanded that all his Death Eaters be in the Malfoy manor in the morning.”
The Auror that was leading this team nodded seriously, “A perfect opportunity. Everyone, go rest up. Be back here just before the moon goes down.” She ordered and turned back to the goblin as her team left. “I’ll send this information through the badges, what do you have to do to destroy the horcruxes? Should the ministry assist in any way?” She asked as she quickly jotted down the updated information in her badge.
RazorBlood gestured for the Auror to follow him and they proceeded down the nearest hall, “Thanks to Bellatrix allowing us to see through her mark we’ve been able to accurately keep track of the size of Voldemort’s soul. We know we have all of them so all I want is a witness and the coin, Agent Bloom. Nothing more needs to be done on the horcrux front.” He commented as the blank wall in front of them opened up to show a hidden room.
The Auror smiled as she handed the goblin the horcrux tracking coin, “A witness? I’m honored.” Agent Bloom said cheerfully as they walked up to a glass display case.
Inside of the case were five items. There was an innocent looking diary, the Hufflepuff cup, a ring with a black stone, a diadem and the locket they just found. Looking at them this way made it almost hard to believe that each item carried a piece of an evil wizard’s soul. That these simple items were effectively giving that very evil wizard a sort of immortality. However, what happened next reminded everyone of the darkness hidden in the innocent items.
The Auror watched as RazorBlood stepped over to the side of the case where a coin slot was. Like the strangest arcade game out there the coin was dropped in the slot. It made a dinging sound only to roll into the case. Once the coin came to an abrupt stop by rolling into the diary flames filled the case.
“I recommend plugging your ears for a second.” RazorBlood warned just as every item started oozing an ugly dark mist from the spots that were being eaten by fire.
“Understood.” Agent Bloom said as she covered her ears with her hands and she did so just as the screaming started.
More and more of the ugly mist emerged as the fire raged. The mist was quickly joined by ghoulish looking Voldemort faces that also oozed from the items. Each face howled and screamed in agony. However, it didn’t last. One by one the faces and ugly mist were burned away until the screaming stopped completely.
“He won’t know, right?” The Auror asked not wanting the dark lord to realize and make more. That could not happen otherwise this entire plan would be pointless.
RazorBlood shook his head as the fire slowly died down, “Thankfully, this type of injury is similar to losing a limb. No one can feel if something is gnawing at the detached arm unless they’re the ones doing the chewing. He’ll never know unless he tries to find one, but he might make another anyway so we need to stop him now. Our spies will be given a few devices to stop anyone from escaping. Be ready. Once our spies get out that will be the signal.” The goblin said as they listened to the cracking remains inside the display case.
Agent Bloom nodded while adding the update to her badge, “The ministry will be ready.”

James, Remus and Sirius were doing their best to look sad. However, that was very hard to do. After all, this night was the night of the full moon. Severus and Lucius haven’t given them any details, but somehow they will see Euphemia, Fleamont and Lyall tonight. It will be a relief to see that they really are alive and well. Unfortunately, they had to finish breakfast first and they weren’t feeling patient.
“I’m almost afraid to look.” Remus mumbled as the paper landed in front of him. Just because it all turned out to be an undercover plot doesn’t mean he wasn’t hurt by the article that claimed that his father died.
Sirius smiled knowingly, “That’s not surprising … I will!” Sirius exclaimed and took the newspaper from Remus so the werewolf didn’t have to be the first to see anything bad. “I wonder if Severus knows that his grandfathers made this announcement.” He muttered curiously as he showed James and Remus the announcement for a new sanctuary.
After reading the full article the three Gryffindors winced and looked at Severus. Was Severus aware that his grandfathers publicly insulted Voldemort? To their relief they could see Lucius whisper something in the young Slytherin’s ear. Severus probably did know something already, but not everything it seems.
James raised an eyebrow while swallowing a morsel of his breakfast, “Regulus and Lucius are leaving?”
Sirius immediately looked up at the mention of his little brother, “Where are they going?” He pondered curiously as Lucius and Regulus left the Great Hall. “They’ll tell us later … right?” Sirius asked hopefully. The knowledge that his brother was a Death Eater scared him. Even with the protection of being a spy Voldemort could still hurt his brother or even Bellatrix.
“We’ll see … let’s finish eating and join Severus. If anyone would have an idea about what just happened he will.” Remus whispered only to chuckle when James and Sirius started scarfing down their food. “Slow down or you’ll choke.”
It didn’t take long for them to finish. Just as a few other students left the Great Hall the three of them left their table. James wasted no time getting over to the Slytherin table and helped Severus stand up. The Potter heir blushed shyly as Severus hugged his arm for support and they walked out of the Great Hall with Remus and Sirius.
The second there were few other students around Sirius moved closer to Severus, “Did something happen?” Sirius whispered worriedly.
“I know Lucius was summoned and considering the timing it seems Regulus was too.” Severus whispered and paused a second to shake off a dizzy spell. “As for why I’m guessing it has to do with my grandfathers’ announcement in the paper.” He said not showing his fear.
No doubt his grandfathers were targets now. Just because Lucius told him about Sebastian and Nicholas helping Gringotts with a distraction it didn’t make him feel better. The thought of losing the family who actually loved and cared for him definitely scared him. He won’t feel better about any of this until the war was done and finally Lucius and his grandfathers are safe.
“They’ll be alright.” James said softly as he let his free hand caress Severus’ hand while Severus continued hugging his arm.
Severus felt his heart flutter, “I wish I could stay up tonight. You guys will have to say hello to everyone for me.” He whispered as they all walked along.
Remus smiled, “We will. You shouldn’t push yourself.”
Severus sighed, “Yeah … I’ll still try to get up earlier enough to see you guys leave the infirmary. My sleep cycle is so bloody messed up I should be able to do that much.”
“We can’t stop you. Hell, none of us even knew you were involved with healing Remus until we overheard you and Lucius.” Sirius said pointedly with a cheerful smile. Remus nodded in agreement, but turned serious, “No matter how good you were at healing me I’ll be happier knowing I won’t be … set free.” He commented recalling what his friends told him about his own horrifying escape attempts.
Severus hummed, “You won’t have to ever worry about that again … so much has changed since your last escape.”
Everyone couldn’t agree more with that statement. So many things have changed in such a short time. The only thing that hasn’t is Lucius’ protective attitude.
“Were there any affectionate delays while getting to class this time?” Lucius asked casually as he sat down next to Severus in the potion class.
Severus scoffed as he looked through his written potion assignment, “We were on time so there were no delays … as for affection, you can’t prove anything happened.” Severus said cheekily, knowing Lucius will try to fish for details. However, Severus noticed an odd silence and he looked at Lucius. “Everything good?” He asked subtly looking Lucius over for any obvious wounds.
Lucius sighed, “I’m going to have to get you up very early or you stay in the infirmary tonight.” He whispered seriously.
“I … the infirmary.” Severus said hesitantly, wondering why Lucius would bring this up right after meeting Voldemort.
“Good. I won’t worry then.” Lucius said before glancing at James. “Seriously though, did anything happen again? Potter isn’t getting too handsy, right?” He asked and pouted when Severus just gave an amused snort.

“Dad!” Gill smiled as Remus raced down the steps of the compartmentalized trunk and hugged Lyall. “You're all ok.”
James and Sirius quickly ran down too and hugged Euphemia and Fleamont. The last people entering the trunk were Lucius, Severus and an infirmary healer. It was the Hogwarts healer who quickly conjured up an extra bed in the corner of the large cabin that already had three beds.
“If you need any extra pillows I can conjure up those, but first. What potions do you need?” The bubbly infirmary healer asked as she and Lucius helped Severus sit on the bed.
Euphemia smiled as she gave Sirius a hug, “Severus, you’ll be staying here?”
Lucius scoffed, “I’ll be busy so I need him safe. Preferably with healers nearby.” Lucius said as he pulled a metal lock box out of his pocket and gave it to the healer. “This contains his morning potions just in case I don’t get back before breakfast and as for pillows …” Lucius trailed off only to suddenly turn James into a pillow. “Use him.” He said ignoring the nervous chuckle the healer gave.
Euphemia huffed, “Lucius that’s not proper!” She said right before shooting a spell at her pillow son, but not to turn him back. She simply turned James into a firmer pillow. “Better neck support!” The Lady Potter said cheerfully as she gave Severus her plush son.
“Good to know.” Lucius commented looking quite amused. “No more making out while I’m gone!” He called back as he left the trunk.
Both the pillow Potter and Severus blushed. To avoid any more embarrassment Severus claimed he was tired and fell asleep on the blushing pillow. That adorable moment made everything a little more cheerful despite what was going on outside. Lyall was especially happy to see Remus shift into his werewolf form alongside Gill. The young werewolf was adorable with his new fluffy coat of fur. It was a cozy night away from the war just outside the trunk.

The extra Aurors from Agent Bloom’s team entered the hotel hideout with Amber. It was several hours until the full moon, but the werewolves needed a break. Everyone on the Agent Bloom team immediately understood why.
“How long has she been glaring in that?” The Agent Green on Agent Bloom’s team asked before he went over to the Agent Green on Gill’s team.
The werewolf Agent Green kissed the human Agent Green and chuckled sheepishly, “Far too,long, honey. We better go. Peter sometimes slips in to take a nap very late at night so watch out for him.” He warned before he left with his fellow werewolves to get to their own full moon trunks.
A few hours after midnight the team spotted Peter in his rat form. As predicted he shifted into his human form and laid down on the couch. Even when Lily came downstairs in the very early morning hours and poked him in the chest he refused to budge.
“Is it just me or does something feel off?” Agent Green asked just as Amber pulled out some snacks.
Amber looked closely at the enchanted window that showed Peter sleeping on the couch, “The moon is down so all our werewolves will be healed soon.” She said and suddenly they felt their badges buzz. “Agent Green and I will keep watch here. The rest of you go get ready to help with the takedown.” She ordered after reading the alert.
Agent Green frowned after the other agents left, “I take it Peter isn’t going to join the other Death Eaters … I guess that was expected.” She commented when she saw that Peter hasn’t moved yet.
When Amber looked at the window that showed Lily and saw her crushing an organ in the blood mirror she looked horrified. “She’s cursing someone! Move out!”
