A/N: Sorry for the long wait but things have been really hectic and mind-boggling.

Draco: It's about damn time, woman! We've been standing around at Hogwarts after the prayer for what seems like millennia! I think I have callouses now…ugh! *collapses to the ground in a heap and clutches feet*

Severus: *pinches nose and glares at Draco* Draconis, you could've done what everyone else has done and sat on the grass or transfigured yourself a chair like the wizard that you are…

Draco: But it's servants' work, Severus! *Whines*

Harry: *smacks him smartly about the head* Stop being so melodramatic, Draconis! If you do, you get a special treat…

Draco: I do?!

Harry: *smirks* Come with me

Harry carries him off and Severus follows with an evil grin on his face.

Riddle: *pinches the bridge of his nose* So sorry for that…please enjoy the story.

Dumbledore's Stronghold

They all arrived at the set coordinates but noticed the numerous blood wards, anti-enemy wards, and stone golems protecting Dumbledore Manor, which made Harry curse under his breath. Even an unnatural seeming thunderstorm rolled in at their arrival.

"He had to make it difficult as all holy hell, didn't he," Severus muttered as he snuggly wrapped his arm around Harry's waist, "I have a suggestion, love. Why don't Draco, the magickal creatures, and I take on the stone golems and your grandfather takes on the foe wards while you plow through the blood wards? That way we can get through to that bastard quicker…"

Harry kissed both his mates deeply and nodded.

"Sounds like a plan, beloved. Shall we get to work then," he said taking a step forward and tripping the wards. The unicorns, centaurs, the other magickal creatures, Draco, and Severus started clawing and ripping apart the various stone gargoyles and the stone knights headed for them at full speed. Stone wings and heads went flying everywhere and dust clouds covered the grounds before settling.

Harry's grandfather was spitting out counter curse after counter curse as the foe wards were trying to rip Riddle apart and failing spectacularly. Harry himself walked up to the blood wards and felt an electric-type charge run through his whole body. He growled and took off his shirt, revealing his wings. Feet changing into talons and hands into claws, he dropped to the ground and dug into the dirt.

While on all fours, he sent his wingtips upwards, which drew forth lightning from the freak thunderstorm that suddenly came on. He smirked as his eyes became completely black and he drew upon the death energies from the ground and the nature energies from the sky. He undug his claws and talons from the ground and released an ear-piercing scream that destroyed all of the blood wards. They broke with the sound of a thousand souls crying mixed with shattering glass.

Nodding towards his mates, his grandfather, and the rest of the battalion, they charged through the front door of the manor and encountered stone knights.

A wide Cheshire cat-like smile with razor-sharp teeth appeared on all of the triad's faces as they let loose feral growls and jumped into the fray. Room after endless room, they searched but Dumbledore seemed to stay twelve steps ahead of them.

Dumbledore had to be in here somewhere, snarled Harry in his thoughts, I want his head on a goddess-damn pike!
