****THE-CLANDESTINE-AGENCIES (I)****

~~Hyatt Regency~~ (A few minutes ago)

"Surround the place. None of them should escape" As soon as Harry finished talking, the men started to move toward the exit points. Harry was continuously using his Magic to keep track of everyone and when everyone was in position, Harry decided to make his move. Without wasting any time, he quickly raised the Wards to prevent anyone from escaping via any Magical means from the hotel.

"Let's go. They probably know we are already here" Harry stated airily as he entered the hotel from the main entrance, followed by Katerina, Jacklyn, and Gellert, but two men stayed back to guard the main entrance. It took Harry only a couple of minutes to reach the room where they were keeping Himera, whoever they were. Harry slowly raised his hand and inspected the Wards.

"These Wards aren't strong, but these Wards prevent any sort of transmission Magic along with preventing Apparition and Portkey travels" Harry explained with a hint of fascination in his voice. "Now, let's see…" Harry trailed off and the air started to shimmer and moments later, a translucent barrier appeared before a hole started to form on the translucent barrier.

"So, how are we doing this? Do we go inside Wands blazing?" Jacklyn asked excitedly, but Harry quickly shot down her hopes.

"No. Let me handle this" Harry said without looking back and unlocking the door. There were two men standing by the door, dressed in Muggle suits and as soon as the door started to open, they tried to pull out their guns, but then out of the blue, they started to choke. Moments later, Harry raised his hand and two men rose up in the air, with their feet dangling.

Then all of a sudden, someone started to scream at the top of their lungs from inside, and from the voice he knew who it was… Harry felt his temper flare and he decided to give all of them a painful ending. Soon, the screams finally stopped and they started to hear a man speaking… No, it was more like the man was demanding and after listening to the man's words, Harry decided that it was finally the time to reveal their presence.

"You are going to tell me how they did it, or-" Harry didn't bother to let him finish.

"Or what?" Harry asked coldly as he stepped into the room. Himera was strapped on some sort of torture chair and from all the blood splattered on her and around her, he knew that they didn't go easy on her. Maybe, they were additionally cruel to her after realizing that she could practically heal from anything… The look of relief on her face was clear as day.

"Avada-" The man, who was previously demanding something from Himera, went to Curse him, but he couldn't even finish the Curse before his Wand arm started to fall off from the rest of his body. So, before any of the other enemy Wixen could try anything foolish, Harry flooded the room with his own Magic, making them choke. Even the Muggles inside the room dropped down to their knees due to the oppressive pressure of his Magic.

"Aaaaahhhh!!" The man who lost his arm started to roll on the ground while holding the stump of his arm and Harry ruthlessly kicked him in the gut, making him wheeze painfully, but he didn't stop there he continued to kick the man until a few cracks were heard and the man was nothing but a whimpering mess. Harry raised his hand and ran his fingers through his hair.

"All that noise was making me nauseous" Harry stated with a grimace with a cold glint in his eyes. "Now, this is so much better" Harry sighed with a relieved look on his face. Then he turned toward the Muggles… As expected they were completely pale and then he turned toward the rest of the enemy Wixen in the room, they were also pale and a couple were shaking like leaves.

Harry internally nodded his head in satisfaction… The little show was working just like he expected it to…

"Jacky, be a dear and please disarm them" Harry requested in a polite tone, but everyone knew that it wasn't a request. "Oh, and don't forget to bind them" Harry added as he seemed to remember that while approaching Himera, who was still strapped to the contraption. "How are you holding up?" Harry asked softly as he tried to unlock the chair, but nothing happened, making him frown.

"Well, I am not unfamiliar with pain, but the Cruciatus Curse hurt like a bitch!" Himera finished with a groan. Since Magic wasn't helping him unlock the straps holding her to the contraption, he simply decided to rip them off with his Magic. "Thanks" Himera mumbled gratefully as she rubbed her aching wrists. If it was anyone else, then their body would have been shaking due to the Cruciatus exposure, but Himera was already healed.

"So, how did you end up here?" Harry asked as he Conjured a thick furry robe for her to wear. She gave him a grateful look before wrapping the robe around herself.

"I was getting drunk while hopping to get hooked, but these two fuckers showed up" Himera growled as she jerked her head toward the two Wixen in bath robes. I didn't say anything and simply allowed her to continue her story. "Stuff happened and they invited me back to their room, once again, stuff happened…" Himera trailed off with an unsure look on her face.

"Then they drugged me and strapped me to this chair, though, I didn't go out silently, I bit the bitch really hard" Himera finished gleefully as she glared at the girl and revealed her. The girl seemed to glare back at the reminder, which meant she wasn't a greenhorn. "Then they tried to persuade me to answer their questions and then you finally arrived" Himera finished with a shrug.

"I see… Kate? What do you think I should do with her?" Harry asked as he turned his head to glance at the murder-happy woman.

"Seal her Magic and sell her to a brothel?" Katerine suggested in a gleeful tone, making the girl pale, but Harry wasn't happy with the suggestion. Jacklyn and Himera were a bit surprised considering Katerina was a woman herself.

"Considering her nature, she is probably going to enjoy that" Harry pointed out with a frown and after thinking for a bit, Katerina nodded her head in agreement.

"You are right. Then we pull her apart" Katerina said with a nod of her head.

"You know she isn't a machine" Jacklyn pointed out with a drawl.

"So what?" Katerina huffed. "Humans can be pulled apart too" She defended her choice.

"Alright. Pull her apart" After thinking for a bit, Harry agreed with her. Katerina smirked and flicked her Wand, making the girl spread eagle on the floor and then she twisted her Wand. Nothing happened for a couple of seconds, but then the girl started to scream and tears started to appear on her left foot. Katerina started to cackle in mad glee as she finally tore the girl's foot from her body…

****THE-CLANDESTINE-AGENCIES (II)****

~~Malfoy Manor~~

Lucius stared at the recent missive from his Master with obvious trepidation on his face. His Master wanted him to distract Harry Potter for a couple of days by any means. His Master even went as far as to suggest that he should poison someone close to him. Lucius chuckled hollowly as he stared at the letter.

Lucius would admit that he had made a lot of mistakes in his life, but he was not foolish enough to make the mistake of trying to poison someone close to Harry Potter on behalf of his Master. Only a few months ago, Lucius had everything. He was the man of his house, but now, he was nothing more than a prisoner in his own home.

'How far the mighty have fallen…' Lucius mused mirthlessly inside his mind…

There was no way he would be able to poison anyone in the house without getting caught. After all, the house elves were not going to let him anywhere near the kitchen and even if he somehow managed to poison something, there was no way of knowing who he was going to end up poisoning like that.

Heck, he might end up poisoning his own son if he tried anything like that and the life of his son was more important than anything…

Then again, if he somehow managed to succeed by any luck, his fate was going to be something really horrific. His whole body started to tremble when he remembered what the boy had done to Severus and the man genuinely regretted his actions. He felt bad for his friend, but that didn't mean he was willing to join him.

That wasn't all though, there was a chance that Potter might decide to punish Draco for his actions… That was not something he wanted to happen. He wanted his Family to survive. He remembered something his grandfather used to say when the man was still alive.

'Malfoys always win' Lucius mused as he decided his next course of action. If he tried to carry out the task given to him by the Dark Lord, then he was going to have a very painful death, regardless if he succeeded or not, but on the other hand, Potter had promised that he was going to die.

He realized that sometimes a peaceful death was much better than a painful life… He wasn't delusional enough to believe that the Dark Lord was going to spare him if the man won by some miracle. He had lost the priceless artifact given to him by the Dark Lord for safekeeping. Lucius knew that he was going to be punished for that.

In his foolishness, he might have chosen to reach out to the Dark Lord, just out of spite, but the recent missive had proven to him that the Dark Lord didn't give a toss about him. The Dark Lord simply saw him as an expendable pawn… Lucius wouldn't have cared to be honest if the man could have protected his son, but that was only wishful thinking.

The only reason the Dark Lord was still breathing was because Potter had decided to take everything away from him before granting him death… He had heard Amelia Bones recalling the events of that night during lunch. Amelia Bones was a lot of things, but a liar she was not.

Potter was going to kill him, but if his death meant the continued survival of his son and his legacy, he was going to accept his death… He would have liked to avoid death, but the Dark Lord couldn't even protect himself…

<Line Break>

~~Luton, London~~

Sirius stared at the woman bound to the chair in front of him with a cold glint in his eyes. He had hooked up with her in the pub and like a gentleman, he brought her back to his mansion, and when they finally started to get frisky, the woman tried to stab him with a Muggle syringe, but his training kicked in and he was able to disarm her before knocking her out.

The said syringe was lying on the table along with the small handgun and a knife he found tucked inside of her boots. While his stint in Azkaban had made his skills rust, he was starting to regain them with each passing day and there were some things a person could never forget. He was a trained Hit Wizard and some things were ingrained into his mind.

'Now what the hell am I supposed to do with her?' Sirius screamed inside his mind. He knew nothing about the woman except for the name she gave him and he wasn't sure if it was even real to begin with. He could hand her over to the Ministry, but that was not a solution right now… While Amelia had passed the mantle of Director to Rufus Scrimgeour, the DMLE was still a mess.

For a moment he considered informing Harry, but he wasn't sure if should do so… Harry would most certainly kill her, but Sirius wasn't sure if he wanted her dead. Yes, she had tried to inject him with something questionable, but that didn't warrant death, did it? Maybe, he should ask Tonks for some help… The girl was dating Harry and maybe she could help him make the choice…

With his mind made up, he flicked out his Wand and cast the Patronus Charm to inform Tonks… It wasn't easy to relearn the Curse, but he had managed it somehow and he was really proud of that… Thanks to Harry, he now knew that he didn't need to use a real memory for the Charm. He could use his imagination as long as it was strong enough.

After a minute, he felt Tonks arrive thanks to the Wards before he heard a loud crash… Sirius closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. He shouldn't have placed that glass table in front of the Floo… Still, Tonks seemed to be fine. "Heya!" Tonks waved at him with a grin, acting completely normal. "Look, I might have smashed…" Tonks froze when her gaze finally focused on the girl bound in the chair.

"Merlin's saggy balls! Now you have started to kidnap women from the streets, you sex fiend!!" Tonks screeched while giving him a disgusted look…

========================

****THE-CLANDESTINE-AGENCIES (III)****

"Wow, she lasted pretty long" Katerina whistled, looking impressed. The girl managed to last to the end, but everything good must come to an end and her life came to an abrupt end when Katerine finally pulled off the upper part of her head from her body. The girl had an ugly look on her face before she finally kicked the bucket.

"You are a monster!!" The boy snarled at Harry, but the boy simply stared at him before rolling his eyes. He looked around the room, a couple of Muggles along with a couple of Wixen had emptied the contents of their stomachs thanks to the show Katerina gave them, but the others were holding on pretty nicely even though they were really shaken up.

"Hello pot, I am kettle" Harry drawled blandly. "You guys are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. You two kidnapped Himera-" Harry waved at the boy and the mangled sack of flesh that used to be the girl "-then you tortured her for information" Harry finished with a shrug, but this time the boy didn't say anything. He simply decided to seeth and hatefully glare at Harry.

"She looked much better when was in one piece" Himera mumbled regretfully, but from the look on her face, it was clear that she wasn't regretting anything.

"Yes, a true tragedy" Harry nodded his head in agreement before his gaze lingered toward the remaining Wixen before he shifted his gaze toward the Muggles. They knew about Magic, which made him start to wonder if he could sick the ICW on these people. While sicking the ICW on these would be hilarious, he wanted to deal with them on his own.

"Maybe, he is angry because you never asked her a question" Katerina suggested helpfully and Harry hummed thoughtfully at her words.

"That might be it…" Harry agreed in an amused tone, but he was cut off when the telephone hanging on the wall started to ring. Both Katerina and Gellert whipped their Wands toward the telephone in surprise, but Harry quickly signaled them to stand down. He started to wonder who was calling… His interest piqued, he went to pick up the telephone.

"Hello~" Harry spoke in a cheerful tone.

"Harry Potter, we have Theodore Tonks" The voice from the other side said and Harry felt his temper flare, but his expression didn't change. "Let's make a deal" The voice said. It was a feminine voice and from the voice, Harry could guess that the woman was pretty old. Harry reached out to Theodore Tonks through the mark and felt like the man was asleep, but there was something weird.

It felt like the man was moving and he was moving pretty fast… It felt like he was in a car or something, but Ted didn't own a car and even if he was riding with someone, why was he asleep in the first place? Which meant that the voice on the telephone was probably telling the truth, so he decided to play along, at least for the time being.

"Deal?" Harry asked, sounding confused.

"Yes, a deal" The woman confirmed. "You are going to let all of my men walk away and I am going to release Theodore Tonks" The voice stated in a firm tone. Then all of a sudden, a loud gunshot rang out and he felt one of his men guarding one of the exit points die. "A life for a life" The voice said simply.

Harry felt cold rage and he clenched his other hand in fury… Harry didn't know who this person was, but she was going to pay. He was going to make her regret everything she ever did in her life, but that could come later as he needed to protect his men before anything else.

Before any of his men could start screaming through the Sigil, Harry started to speak…

'I want all of you to move inside the building' Harry ordered in a firm tone and he felt all of them following his order except for one person. It was the partner of the man who just died, but after lingering for a few more seconds, that man finally came inside the building.

"The fuck was that?!" Katerina asked with a surprised look on her face.

"It was a gun" Jacklyn answered grimly. "Did we lose someone?" She asked hesitantly after a moment, but Harry didn't answer. However, his silence was enough of an answer for them. Harry glanced toward Gellert, but the man seemed to be completely relaxed before he glanced toward their captives and right now, all of them were looking awfully gleeful.

"Hmm…" Harry hummed as a thoughtful look appeared on his face…

~~Unknown Warehouse~~ ( A few minutes ago)

"Sarah is being awfully late" Coulson pointed out before taking a glance at his clock. Sarah was wearing a wire, but it stopped working after she went with Sirius inside the house. They weren't expecting the wire to work inside the house in the first place, Sarah was supposed to come outside and signal the men waiting outside in the van.

It was kind of risky, considering it was a Magical house, but Sarah was one of their better agents…

"Harry Potter is here along with Gellert Grindelwald and they are not alone" The radio wheezed and Caulson felt a chill run down his spine before he turned back toward Peggy. "I am bailing out" The same man added, but moments later, the man cursed. "Wards are up. I repeat, Wards are…" The radio went static.

"Carter, our existence must remain a secret!" Rachel demanded hotly, but Peggy simply rubbed her chin with a thoughtful look.

"We have Theodore Tonks, don't we?" The woman asked, but it wasn't a question. "I want the Hyatt Regency surrounded from all sides with snipers and give me the visual inside the room" Peggy ordered and after a few taps of buttons, the camera focused on the window of the room came alive. They had it turned off because they were torturing Himera and they didn't want to have that in their official reports.

"Jesus fucking Christ" Caulson mumbled in shock when he saw a woman use Magic to pull the feet of the girl they used to seduce Himera. The savagery didn't stop there, the woman continued to slowly dismember the girl and he was forced to admit, it was the most horrific thing he had ever witnessed.

"Emile…" Rachel sobbed with her hands covering her mouth and Caulson noticed a few agents run out of the room to empty their stomachs. He finally turned toward Peggy to see how she was reacting, only to find her staring at the screen with an indifferent look on her face, but he could see a cold glint of rage burning in her eyes.

"The snipers are in the position, ma'am" Someone called out with a small stutter.

"Good. Make the call" Peggy ordered and picked up the phone and they saw Harry Potter approach the telephone hanging on the screen.

"Hello~" They heard a cheerful voice from the other side.

"Harry Potter, we have Theodore Tonks" Peggy started to speak in an indifferent tone…
