《Harry Potter: Blood of the Dragon 》Chapter 173: Scum Hunters
Advertisement
"Dear Diary,
We have been out to catch this rat for weeks now. We have been camping outside his hole. The weather was not easy, the cold mountains were bearable in the day but at night it becomes a silent graveyard, with a hunger for some more bodies.
But we did not drop dead, for we are the strongest Goblins of Gringotts. Our boss, Old Mace, has been very hard on us, but he's also dear to us. He made us who we are today, he made us this powerful killing machine. But, I still feel a need to return home, to see my wife again.
I wish this Death Eater scum would come out of his hole soon, so we can claim the prize on his head.
12 November 1972." A buffed, armoured Goblin secretly wrote his diary entry and hid it. This was his hobby since childhood but neither his parents nor the Old Mace allowed him to do it. So he just started it in secret. Anyway, he was very strong now and even if people found out nobody had the guts to say anything.
His name was Zenrok. He believed that the reason why he was able to achieve so much was due to his calm mind, unlike how most other Goblins were. Due to his calm mind, he was able to see things most Goblins would ignore.
For now, he wished to someday meet His Majesty, so he could maybe elevate his status from being just a killer goblin for the bank.
"Zenrok, let's go, Old Mace has asked you to report." A goblin from the 5 goblin teams informed him.
Old Mace, the old head of the Warrior Goblins. He has been planning this hit for weeks now. The target was Antonin Dolohov, one of the important Death Eaters of Voldemort. From his info, this Death Eater was involved in many crimes and loved torturing Muggles, and wizards and witches who were not supporters of the Dark Lord.
They were currently near a castle in the Alps mountains. It was already winter and their job became tough. However, the reward for the bounty was 50,000 Galleons. That was a lot of gold.
"Ah, Zenrok, come, my son. You are the finest of all my sons and I can't be prouder. This time, you will lead the team on this assault. It's time this old man retires and sees you all furthering the legacy." Old Mace cheerfully said. He was just in a good mood because of thinking about the money.
Zenrok didn't have the guts to tell him he wanted to quit. So he agreed. "Yes, Old Mace. I will go and prepare."

"Good, we will attack at night, sneakily and subtly. We don't want the alarm to ring until we have the target in our custody. The Bounty poster says Dead or Alive. I see a dead wizard as a good wizard. So prepare your most lethal weapons." Old Mace ordered him and let him go.
...
It was nighttime, Old Mace and his 5 sons in all but name proceeded to the castle. They knew the scum wizard was hiding in the castle.
Their team was divided into 3 parts. 2 were the silent killers in the front, they were supposed to deal with any danger from ahead or neutralise any guard. Then there was Old Mace and Zenrok, the main brain of the operation giving commands. The last three were responsible for watching their back and act as a decoy if needed.
Using this, they first entered the castle. There were not many powerful guards in the building. And the castle was nothing but a tourist destination at this point. So there were muggles too. But, as it was late at night, they couldn't hear anything except some snoring and moaning from various rooms.
The wizard was supposed to be in the dungeons, where the castle served as a dwelling for wizards.
*WOOSH*
Zenrok threw a ball like crystal, it immediately started spewing smoke around. This was a new product launched in the market, explicitly available in one shop. It could make people fall asleep, and from what he was told, this was made by Magnus' genius friend, Ragnar.
In the entrance of the Wizard's dwelling, all fell asleep silently on the floor. They did not know where the target was so they checked each room. Soon, they found the one. Without waiting, all 6 barged into the room where Antonin Dolohov was staying.
When they finally entered, they saw him in a compromising state with a woman. Both were naked, Antonin Dolohov being on top of her, thrusting himself.
"SLEEP GIRL!" Zenrok cast magic on the girl first.
Shocked, Antonin Dolohov took his wand from the side table, but Zenrok's axe was already touching his neck.
"What do you want? Money? Just let me go and you shall have everything. You don't know whom I work for, if you kill me, the Dark Lord will come after you." Antonin started pleading with them as well as threatening them.
*BAM*
Old Mace slapped him, "You serve your master is the exact reason why we are hunting you, Wizard Scum. Haha... we're going to not only get money by killing you but also goodwill from his majesty."
Antonin was pinned down by other Goblins and Zenrok simply went to him and checked his wrist. There was indeed a dark mark.

Zenrok looked at his Old Mace. "Let's kill him, but take his head with us. We need to prove we have killed him after all."
"Good choice. There is no place for mercy in this world. Here, use this knife to kill him." Old Mace told him. It would have inflicted more pain on the man.
But Zenrok denied. "I have a better and quicker way to sever his head, no need for a small knife."
Zenrok seemed appalled using torturous means to kill people. He'd rather do it quickly and efficiently.
So, Zenrok used his axe to immediately chop his head off. Antonin kept on pleading until the end. Then next thing, they cleaned the room and left the headless body of the man, to spread fear among the Death Eaters, telling them that somebody was after them.
After they were gone, people found out about the dead body and the unconscious women the next day. It was horrifying. What was worse was that his identity could not be found as he was a wizard and not registered in any muggle database.
The Goblins quickly returned to their bank and started counting gold in their dreams already.
...
London,
The Hospital Magnus had dreams of, had its foundation nearly built. The walls had been erected using lots of levitation charms and enchantments.
Magnus had also given them many enchantments to put on the bricks to make sure the hospital's structure lasts decades without needing maintenance. But he needed to make sure that the magic was not so much that it would interfere with the electrical instrument.
Though the whole campus was a mess at the moment. Because it was all mud and dust right now. Only the building construction was going on and other muggles jobs couldn't be initiated for now. Once the main building structures are done, minor things like the wiring, painting, woodwork, glasswork, garden work will be done on public tenders, in this process wizards won't be used. The whole project will most likely be finished by the end of 1973. It was very fast considering the scale of all this. It could have been faster if he used only Wizards but that would be too suspecting and crazy for people to digest.
Magnus had instead hired the parents of a wizard, who were top MBAs. Their job was now to be the spokesperson of Emrys Construction and bring in more projects for them to create all around the world. They were also going to participate in many contract bidding in lots of government infrastructure projects in both the UK and the world. They were bound to outbid them all as their operational cost was not much. They only needed to pay for the material.
Edgar Bones, now had successfully trained 20 Wizards to become martial wizards, who could fight an average Auror. They worked day and night in two shifts. They were responsible for the safety and secrecy of the site. Other than that, about 80 wizards worked in the company on various levels. There were also 50 muggles who knew about the wizarding world.
"Ah, if this speed is kept, I'm sure His Majesty will be happy to see this during his Winter break." Edgar sighed seeing the Research Building being built. It was the most elaborate one because it was supposed to be much bigger underground than what it looked above.
...
*BOOM*
"Argh... I was nearly there. I think I can create this before December." Adam cursed, still working on the battery. He had already developed the engine, the aspect that worked on fossil fuel worked perfectly, all he needed now was the battery to test that out.
He was feeling slight pressure right now, as his ability to make this project work will decide when he is announced as the royal prince.
The queen had already come to their house 3 times and the media had started to speculate why this was happening.
...
At the same time, Magnus arrived at Camelot.
______________
[A/N: Just so you know, Antonin Dolohov is not a no-name Death Eater. In terms of power, he comes only below Bellatrix and Adult Snape. He used to study with Tom Riddle and was a member of the first Gang of Slytherin.
In the future, according to canon. In 1981, he would murder the two brothers of Molley Weasely, they were Order of the Phoenix Member. Also, he was the one who tried to kill Harry, Ron and Hermione in London in Deathly Hallows. And his biggest achievement was that he killed Remus Lupis in the end. He was defeated by Flitwick later.
So, you can see that Magnus's measures against Death Eaters are not worthless. They are working.]
