(Authors Note: Lightning element won! For those that want Harry to have another element don't worry he will. Just wait a bit I don't want to just throw powers at him.)
During the year I've also grown my house elf army. Every month I still call for free elves, but ever since operation 'Good Will' the numbers have shrunk. So I get a few elves ever month nothing like before. I also figured that when I get my seats on the Wizengamot I should try to get some sort of house-elf protection act instated. I helped a lot of elves with operation 'Good Will', but sooner or later other elves will just take their place. Another problem is it's nearly impossible to rescue elves that work for big businesses, Government buildings, and Schools. Imagine twenty or more elves with one master how do I fool that person into freeing all of them. Too risky in my opinion.
I've been having my elves gather information on my next big heist. I call it Operation 'Hermione's Wet Dream'. I had my elves scope out the libraries of prominent houses, magical schools, and shops in Diagon and Knockturn Alley. The elves would sneak into said libraries and use the duplication charm (Geminio) to steal their books without anyone ever knowing. A good chunk of information was already taken care of thanks to the house-elf heist. When it came time to execute the plan I gathered my elves again.
"Alright guys listen up. This time the operation will span the course of a few weeks at least. Tonight we'll do as many of the shops as possible. There will be two teams for each location, one for copying the books and another for apparating said books to my library where another group of elves will sort them. Any extra copies can be stored in trunks inside the Potter vault. You all know the targets go and get it done." I said.
They got into their designated groups and popped away. The first night went flawless no one was in the shops and we finished everything in Diagon and knockturn Alley. The second night we hit magical schools. The hardest part of gathering info for the schools was finding them. I had my elves speak to other elves to gather information on the locations. Elves are friendly beings if it doesn't harm their master or masters family and they're not ordered to keep something a secret they'll talk, especially to another elf. Needless to say, I've given my elves a long list of what not to say and told them not to trust orders not given by me or someone I've approved.
Wizarding School Locations:
•Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Scotland)
•Beauxbatons Academy of Magic (France)
•Castelobruxo (Central Brazil)
•Durmstrang Institute (Northern Europe)
•Ilvermorny (Eastern North America)
•Mahoutokoro School of Magic (Japan)
•Uagadou School of Magic (Uganda)
•Koldovstoretz (Russia)
The schools took a greater deal of time because their's so many of them, all with monstrous libraries. This is when we had our first complications librarians, teachers, and caretakers. We're hitting the libraries at night so the chance of running into a librarian is slim to none. Teachers shouldn't be a problem at the time I'm sending the elves. Yea they patrol the halls, but much earlier in the night, they have to teach the next day after all. Caretakers, on the other hand, patrol through the night if they're anything like Filch. So I had a group of elves distract the caretakers.
Anything from noises down the hall so they would investigate to hitting them with a stunner and memory charm, erasing their memory and putting them in bed to wake up confused the next day. The schools took a week, but the elves got it done. Every book in the libraries and any restricted sections of said libraries were copied and now belong to me. Now last but not least the prominent wizarding families of the UK. I'm only focusing on the UK because theirs so many prominent families in other country's and I don't have the manpower (elf power? Lol) for that.
When I say, 'prominent families' I mean Noble houses like mine, old families that can be dated back a long time, and rich families that have the money to stack their libraries.
Noble Houses:
•Abbott
•Avery
•Black
•Bulstrode
•Burke
•Carrow
•Crouch
•Fawley
•Flint
•Gaunt
•Greengrass
•Lestrange
•Longbottom
•Macmillan
•Malfoy
•Nott
•Ollivander
•Parkinson
•Potter
•Prewett
•Rosier
•Rowle
•Selwyn
•Shacklebolt
•Shafiq
•Slughorn
•Travers
•Weasley
•Yaxley
(Authors note: if you guys have ideas for other noble houses let me know and I'll add them. All I did was take the sacred twenty-eight and add The Potters.)
This would take the longest and have the most room for error. Anyone in the house could simply get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or get a drink and the operation is blown. So the plan for this is to wait until everyone in the house is asleep including house-elves. Squads of elves will enter each person's bedroom hitting them with a stunner and feeding them Sleeping Draught (including elves). The potion causes the drinker to fall almost instantaneously into a deep but temporary sleep. I made them myself and have been stocking up for months.
Once again with proper planning and efficient elves, everything went smoothly. Any dark books are stored at the black mansion and anything too dangerous is put in the vault. This portion lasted a month and now my libraries are so full I have elves renovating them to make room. I also have so many extra copies of books that I'm planning on using them for kindling. Rowena will probably be mad at me, but for some books, I have almost a hundred copies. The day the elves finished renovating I showed Rowena my libraries and she looked like she was like a kid in a candy shop. I never thought I'd see the stern Rowena Ravenclaw skipping through my life art like a little girl.
I've decided that since my elves did so well and make such good spies I should train them to become assassins as-well. I need to come up with a training plan for them. The only thing I worry about is they may be too faint of heart. Yeah, their bodies aren't strong and they're short, but in my opinion, that's an advantage. Assassins don't need strength they aren't warriors. If an assassin gets into a fight they aren't doing their job right. Their job is killing in any means necessary and leaving without anyone knowing they were there in the first place. Truthfully house-elves would make powerful assassins. Now It's time for bed I need to get my sleep I have a meeting tomorrow with the Goblins.
(Authors Note: I'm going to start getting other magical beings to become Harry's vassals. I already have plans for vampires I'm going to use the Blade version of vamps from marvel with a little tweaking on my part (Harry never read blade so he wouldn't know it's marvel yet). If you guys have ideas on how he could come into contact with vamps let me know I have an idea but I'm not 100% on it yet. I want to get werewolves as well. I'm just not sure what version to use. If you know any cool werewolves from any type of fiction let me know. If you have names of other magical beings give me names and descriptions or a link to their descriptions and I may add them. Thanks for reading!)
1st chapter today. Thanks for all the stones and saving the novel in your libraries. The lightning element won if you want to know ahead of time what the lightning powers will be like let me know in the comments and I’ll put it in the next chapter. I’m still leaning towards the Patil twins as the HP girls and Hella Odinsdottir or mystique for marvel. Twins count as one girl lol. Let me know your picks. I could still change my mind. Thanks for reading!
