PART III
OF WAND AND WEB
The auror cowered in the corner of the cell in Azkaban. The dark form of Voldemort towered over him. Each day he spent in captivity he grew to wish was his last.
"Where is Potter?"
The question was asked as though the answer would have changed since last time.
"I don't know... I don't know."
"Crucio!"
Tension rises from all corners of the Wizarding World as unrest and unbalance spreads.
Harry Potter is still hidden away from the bulk of the population, and Voldemort's limited patience is spent. As well as regular Death Eater searches, he himself has begun to appear personally, striking fear into those he attacks and the law enforcers who have to deal with him.
Novus Universitas is becoming home to more and more hostage aurors and captives, as the Death Eaters seek to draw out Potter. An unsuccessful rescue attempt, led to more aurors being captured and now talks of an all out assault to drive the Death Eaters out altogether have begun. Only united can the Ministry, the Trio, the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army hope to take back Azkaban from their enemies.
Whether or not they can set aside their differences is a different matter. The Order wishes to be recognised as a legal force and not be forced to remain a secret society.
Dumbledore's Army is fragmented, with no real place to gather and no leader to rally behind.
The Ministry itself is becoming split by opposing ideals. Whispers of electing a new Minister for Magic have been heard, with a number of candidates appearing as possible successors.
With the added drive to acquire the Deathly Hallows that Harry possesses, Voldemort is only becoming more desperate and more dangerous.
Meanwhile, the Elder Wand is secretly held by Snape. He seeks to hide it, knowing that if word was to reach Voldemort of its wherabouts, he would soon be killed for withholding it and likely tortured for his treachery. With advice from Dumbledore's portrait in the headmasters office, his plan is to assist Harry in destroying the remaining Horcruxes, before handing over the Wand so that Harry may finally defeat his mortal enemy.
MAIN PLOT POINTS
Battle of Azkaban
A final battle at Azkaban will take place in which the Death Eaters will finally be driven out. Harry will be needed to hold off the Dementors and to allow his allies to find Novus Universitas.
Whether or not he decides to relinquish control to the Ministry once this is done is yet to be seen.
If Harry keeps Azkaban, the Dementors will remain his. If he hands it over, they will be under Ministry control once again.
During the battle Harry may destroy Nagini (a horcrux). Ravenclaw's Diadem is also being kept 'safe' in Azkaban, Harry can use Nagini's fang to destroy it.
Remaining Horcrux
Salazar's Locket is in Borgin & Burke in a locked chest & protected by the Weblock* curse after Borgin sees it being traded by Mundungus Fletcher and pays him a hefty price for it. Burke has the key around his neck, where he keeps all his other keys.
Malfoy Manor
Under pressure from Voldemort, the Manor will become the headquarters for the Death Eaters after they flee Azkaban. The Dining Room being the main meeting place.
The cellar will hold captured prisoners.
Though Lucius is still aiming to keep his public persona as loyal to the Ministry, so the Death Eaters location must be kept secret. Captured prisoners must not be allowed to know where they are being taken to, and Death Eaters may not be seen about the manor in the open.
Gryffindor's Sword is also being kept hidden in the basement. This would be needed to destroy Salazar's locket.
Election
Three parties to take part.
Current minister: Rufus Scrimgeour
Deputy: Kingsley Shacklebolt (Senior Auror)
The current ministry representatives will be the classic heroes who will try to win using the usual good ideals and determination to win the day in the end.
Traditionalist Rival: Lucius Malfoy
Deputy: Dolores Umbridge
The traditionalist party will appeal to mainly pure blood elitists and so on.
They plan to form the Snatchers and send them out to capture anyone who disturbs the peace.
Lucius may also decide to take advantage of his close contacts to set up a mock capture some Death Eaters from his Manor in order to boost his political standing.
WEB head: Elric Marwood
Deputy: Position To Be Filled
Funded by Tariq Nyx
Left wing, progressive, liberal.
The WEB are a party which is made of various types of magical creature (including wizards) and hopes to finally dispel the ideas that some types of people are lesser beings. This party would appeal to some heroes, some villains and most grey area characters.
Although many members have noble aspirations, some underhanded and even evil methods are employed secretly by the less scrupulous characters. A plan to assassinate Scrimgeour is already in the works.
NOTES
Harry Potter
Harry still has a Dark Mark. This means Voldemort can contact him with ease.
It also means that he still has access to the hidden Azkaban while under Voldemorts control.
His ownership of the Resurrection Stone has increased the power of his Patronus, allowing it to hold off thousands of dark creatures.
Voldemort
His name bears a taboo. This means that anyone who speaks it will reveal their location to him, thus making the importance of not referring to him by name even greater.
Snatchers
If formed during the election, they will be used to capture specific targets that will hopefully lead more people to vote their way.
If Lucius is elected Minister then the Snatchers will most likely become how they are in the books and films, hunting for non pure bloods and Lucius will give power over to Voldemort.
Snatchers will become a real threat on the board. We may leave notes saying where they are patrolling, and anyone posting in these areas leave themselves open to capture. There will be a few places (such as Grimmauld Place) that will always be safe.
Their weapon of choice will be the Weblock Curse.
