Chapitre 80: The Hunt for Harry
Connie Hammer was a calm witch most of the time but the next event had her completely rattled. She made it to the center of the battle zone and saw Harry Potter picking up his little elf friend and start talking to it. Just as she spotted him out of the corner of her eye, she caught another figure sit up from his prone position on the ground and point his wand at Harry.
Her full attention was now on the man thing in front of her and she immediately knew who it was. Due to her shock, she barely noticed the spell that flew right past her as it made its way to the young man she was just watching. As soon as the spell had been released, the man thing disappeared.
Before she could even blink, Harry blinked out of existence just like a house elf but not before being struck by the curse. She ran towards where he had been standing but there was no sign of him. She looked a little further past where he had been and noticed a dead giant snake that had a place on it that looked as if there had been a fire that burned from the inside out.
She marked the snake and then turned back around to give her team their instructions. She left the Aurors of team one to guard the investigators as they did their job and sent team three to St. Mungos and anywhere else they could think of where someone might receive medical attention. The investigators continued until they were satisfied they had everything and once the evidence was processed, a magical trunk was set out and all the objects were placed inside.
....
Harry was calling upon his magic and allowing it to lead him wherever it thought best when the spell impacted him and Dobby at the moment of departure. Under normal circumstances, whenever he traveled like this be it by himself or with Dobby, the trip was calm and fluid. This time, his magic went haywire and the trip was a twisted and panic filled tumble through the ether.
He could feel the pull of where his magic originally wanted to take him but that site was bypassed by a stronger pull that was the cause of all his distress. The magic inside him was building and he could feel it reacting to things as he moved towards wherever he was being drawn. In the end, he resigned himself to the fact that his magic would protect him as he clung closely to Dobby in the attempt to not let go of him.
Dobby was doing his best to not let his fear overtake him so he clung tightly to Harry as well. Dobby understood magic and knew there was a higher purpose at this point and held on as he took comfort in the fact that whatever happened, he would be with Harry.

Connie Hammer arrived back at Hogwarts by portkey and immediately appeared beside Amelia Bones. Amelia gave her a glance and said "Do you have a report for me Chief Auror Hammer?"
"Yes Ma'am, apparation and portkey wards were in place that deposited us a short distance from the site. We made our way on foot and encountered the remains of a major battle. I ordered our people in and we attempted to stun as many of them as we could."
"How many did your troops bring down?"
"None ma'am. Most of them apparated out as soon as they saw us. We have leads on some as they were not focused and splinched themselves and the scene is being processed as we speak. We have managed to gain possession of several objects that I have placed in an ultra secure location that will require your attention."
"So you're telling me that two teams failed to capture anyone?"
"Yes ma'am."
"What of Mr. Potter?"
"He was there one minute and then he just vanished with his elf but not before being struck by an unrecognized spell. Before you ask, the elf was too exhausted to do it as Mr. Potter was carrying him in his arms. It was my hope that he had returned here."
"So you're telling me that a fifteen year old boy apparated and not only that but did so from under anti apparation and portkey wards?"
"Yes ma'am. I saw him vanish; he did not turn on his heel or leave by portkey. He merely vanished much like a house elf does."
"Theories?"
"Yes ma'am but it doesn't make sense. It looked to me like he used house elf magic."
Amelia looked at her for a minute. "It has been said that most of his time in isolation this year was spent in the company of that elf. Would an elf teach him their kind of magic?"
"Not usually boss, Mr. Potter would have to be exceptionally powerful to be able to do it and the elf would have to have a very uncommon bond with him. "
"What is it you need me to come see?"
"I will not answer that here ma'am."
"Put out an alert for Mr. Potter. He will have to turn up somewhere."
"Yes ma'am and I also need to inform you that Voldemort is indeed truly back. I saw him myself."
Amelia stood there for a minute before saying "Shit. Inform the entire department that there will be a meeting tomorrow at say one in the afternoon. That should give us time to finish up here. It looks like the war will be starting up again."
