Harry Potter And The Darkness

Stefan finished eating and after saying goodbye to House-Elves they left the kitchen and returned to their common room where they found Tracey and Daphne talking with Hermione who had a better face.

"What are you talking about girls?" said Mary as she sat in the big sofa that was left.

Stefan just walked and laid on the sofa, he rested his head on the l.a.p of Mary and closed his eyes, as Mary started giving him a massage.

"We were talking about the news of Azkaban Breakout, you know it's the first time someone escaped from there, my father says it's a horrible place and that is better to die than to go to Azkaban" said Daphne while Tracey nodded quickly with her head and Hermione kept quiet.

"Your father went to Azkaban?, did your family support Voldemort?" said Stefan with calm as he kept his eyes closed.

Daphne kept quiet for a moment and then said in a soft voice "Father says that You-Know-Who enticed almost all of the sacred 28 families, and if he did not entice us he threatened us... My family was threatened so we join him, but father was never admitted in the inner circle of You-Know-Who, he doesn't even have the dark mark"

"I don't really care if your family joined him willingly, but I would care if your family throws his weight to him this time..." said Stefan

"So you really think You-Know-Who is going to come back?" said Daphne with a nervous expression.

"Yeah, he eventually is going to come back, you saw his Death Eaters making a comeback in the debut of Grindelwald and five of them just recently escaped" said Stefan

Daphne and Tracey looked at each other with preoccupied faces and Hermione looked at Stefan who had his eyes closed.

"Don't worry, even if he comes back he is not going to come back to power so easily not with Grindelwald around" said Stefan as he looked at Hermione who nodded at him.

"Stefan is right there will be a showdown between Voldemort and the Grindelwald for sure, maybe it will be a three-way showdown between Voldemort, Grindelwald, and Dumbledore?" said Mary with a pondering face.

"Who is more powerful Voldemort or Grindelwald?" said Tracey who was usually the one listening.

"Obviously Grindelwald, didn't you saw the magical images of the Daily Prophet?" said Daphne with a gleam in her eyes.

"What would you do if Grindelwald wins against Dumbledore and Voldemort, and wants to start another crusade in order to fusion the Muggle world and the Magical World?" said Mary with an inquisitive face.

Daphne and Tracey looked at each other and said at the same time " Join Grindelwald", while Hermione didn't say anything and just kept quiet.

"Why?" asked Mary with a curious face.

"Because it's not a secret that nowadays the magical world is tired to live in the shadows, while the Muggles keep inventing things, progressing... I think there will be a time where Wizards would not be able to stay in the shadows even if we want to, and father once told me that the Muggles have dangerous thins that are able to kill us as easy as we can kill them" said Daphne with a calm face.

"You're right, the Muggles are developing quickly there will be a time where we would not be able to hide from them, it would be more easy to fusion both of the worlds and control what they develop, maybe integrate their inventions with our magic" said Stefan.

"And tell me would you have what it takes to make a revolution like that? even if it involves genocide?" said Stefan as he opened his silver eyes that looked directly at them.

Daphne and Tracey kept quiet as they didn't know what to answer while Hermione this time said with a soft voice "There must be another way to fusion both of the worlds"

"Tell me about World War 2, Hermione" said Stefan as he looked at Hermione through the slits of his mask.

Hermione stayed quiet as she heard his question and looked at the floor.

"Back to the topic of Azkaban, do you know any of the Death Eaters that escaped?" said Mary as she changed the subject as she felt the atmosphere was starting to feel tense.

"My father once told me all of the families and persons I had to be careful of, because of their antecedents as Death Eaters at least the ones from the inner circle, and those 5 who escaped, I haven't heard of them" said Daphne with a pondering expression.

"Like who?" said Mary with a curious expression.

"The Malfoys obviously, Lestrange, Black, Carrow, Dolohov, Rookwood, Rosier, Yaxley, Macnair, Parkinson, and these are just some of the inner circle families that joined You-Know-Who" said Daphne with a cautious face as she looked around the common room.

"Hmmm, but almost all of the families you mentioned are in Azkaban" said Mary with a pondering face.

"Yes, almost but there are still members of those families free" said Daphne as she pointed at Draco who was entering the common room.

"Why are they free?" said Hermione as he looked at Draco for a moment.

"Because many of the families said they were under the influence of the Imperius Curse or that they were threatened by You-Know-Who, while others gave information about the followers of You-Know-Who in exchange of not being judged by the Wizengamot" said Daphne

"It's getting late, see you tomorrow girls" said Stefan as he stood up and walked to his bedroom as he was walking to his bedroom he met with Zabini, Crabbe, and Goyle in the hall, they froze as they saw him, while Stefan just passed them and said "Good job, you have earned your own bed"

Zabini, Crabbe and Goyle bowed to Stefan and said "Thank You" as they started to walk in direction of the room of Stefan and as Stefan entered he saw that Zabini, Crabbe, and Goyle were about to enter he said while closing the door in their noses "Where do you think are going, I told you you earn your bed, not that you could enter to my room"

Zabini, Crabbe, and Goyle didn't know what to do, and they sighed as they thought they were just played, and walked to their little room they share with Draco and as they entered they saw that there were 3 beds, they sighed in relief of not having to share the bed and went to take one of the beds for themselves.

Later that night Draco entered the room and saw that all of them had a bed and as he tried to get in one of the beds, he was punched in the eye and heard Crabbe saying "Your mattress is in the corner get the f.u.c.k out of my bed"

Draco clenched his fists tightly and said nothing as he walked to the corner where an old mattress was and laid on it while cursing Stefan in his mind.

Meanwhile in the Limbo

There is a long table where a lot of men and women were sitted around and all of them were wearing black suits, and at the head of the table was an Old Man with a cane on his hand that was looking at two Reapers specifically.

"So tell me, do you have results ?" said the Old Man as he watched at Tessa who had a nervous expression.

"Yes... and No..." said Tessa with a hesitating expression as he signaled at Dave with her eyes.

"We have encountered a problem and we need your presence to evaluate the situation that it doesn't seem to be as simple as before..." said Dave as he looked cautiously at the Old Man who furrowed his brows as he heard that.

"Why would you need me for, cant you solve this?, what are you? low-level executives?" said the Old Man as he looked at Tessa and Dave who didn't dare to meet his eyes.

"You have to see it for yourself brother..." said Tessa as she breathed out a bit of gray smoke that started playing the scenes of them visiting Nurmengard Castle, invoking the ghosts, consuming them, and finally the cell and its emptiness.

The Old Man narrowed his eyes as he saw the final scene, and felt it "We're going there, right now" said the man as he vanished from there, leaving all of the reapers with preoccupied expressions as they too identified the problem.

Tessa and Dave looked at each other and sighed as they vanished from there.

They appeared at the entrance of the Nurmengard Castle and saw the Old Man that was looking at the entrance, they walked to the Old Man whos eyes were greyish and was looking at the entrance.

"Shut it and follow me" said the Old Man as he started walking into the castle, they nodded silently and started following the Old Man, who had a solemn face.

If Stefan was here, he would notice the Old Man was following his footsteps, the all man was following the route Stefan took the times he had come, they finally went to the North Watchtower and started walking upstairs while the Old Man was still quiet without saying anything.

Dave and Tessa were nervous as they havent seen the Old Man so solemn since far too long, they finally ascended till the highest point of the tower where they saw the cell of Grindelwald.

"Stay here, don't enter." said the Old Man as he opened the cell entered and closed it, leaving them outside.

"Do you think he will be able to solve this?" said Dave with a nervous expression as he looked at the door of the cell.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him like today... It's like when Michael and Lucifer fought and he had to interfere so they didn't mess with the natural cycle of the things" said Tessa with a nervous expression.

As the Old Man entered the cell, he closed his eyes and started to sense the cell by complete or so he was trying as he couldn't feel anything no sense of life, no auras, no nothing at all.

The Old Man took his cane and threw it to the center of the cell as he started to whisper something, but nothing happened at first after several moments black onyx smoke started coming out of the walls and the Old Man finally felt a darkness that was devouring everything, even his own aura.

"Hmmph, just a little trick" said the Old Man as he saw the Onyx Black Smoke dissipating in the air, and finally the cell started to show some signs of Life, aura, death.

The Old Man walked out of the cell with a reassuring face and said "You were played by this new faction... there was an aura inside of that cell consuming everything else... it's completely different as what can father do or has done"

Tessa and Dave sighed in relief as they heard that, and Dave turned furious as he smashed his fist on the wall of the cell destroying the wall for complete and said "We were f.u.c.k.i.n.g played...hmmph when I catch you I will kill you"

"It's better this way Dave if there was something so powerful as Father in that new faction we would be screwed, we will catch him... eventually, so calm down" said Tessa as he looked at Dave who had a vein popping out of his forehead.

"Well, you can handle this, I'm leaving, I want results..." said the Old Man with a cane as he vanished from there.

"Let's go Dave" said Tessa as she vanished as well from there leaving a furious Dave there looking at the gigantic castle.

----------------

Stefan was healing in his room with his eyes closed as he felt a great portion of his aura coming back to his body, Stefan opened his eyes that had a gleam on it and thought "A big ant appeared...interesting...right on time...hahahahaha"

"Sent a message to Grindelwald I want him to abduct Fudge as soon as possible, want all of the information of Azkaban, sooner rather than later, ok?" said Stefan with a calm voice to Mary who was beside him, looking at him.

Mary nodded at him as she materialized her red tablet and started tapping quickly, after a short moment a beep sounded in the room and Mary said softly "Grindelwald is going to proceed in this week, Grindelwald wants to know if you would like to meet Fudge or if you want him to be under your control Young Master with the Imperius Curse"

"I don't have a use for him for the moment, actually his stupidity is useful in his own way, tell Grindelwald to just extract the information and that he cannot use the Imperius Curse on him for the moment" said Stefan with a smile on his face.

"Ok Young Master" said Mary as she started tapping quickly the tablet.

He closed his eyes again and focused on healing after this night he was going to be completely healed.
