The-Surprise-Visit (I) [Chapter 262]

“So, what now?” Sirius asked with a grimace as he glanced at the lifeless body of the woman. The same woman who had tried to kidnap him and failed… If he was being honest, he didn’t want her to die, but he could understand why she had to die. However, that didn’t mean he had to like it.

“Now…” Harry trailed off with a vicious glint in his eyes before a smile bloomed on his face. “I am planning to pay them a visit” Harry admitted with a smirk on his face.

“Ok. Do you want me to grab the others?” Tonks asked. Harry was worried that she might not be able to handle the sight of someone getting tortured and killed by her own lover right in front of her, but he was proven wrong. While he didn’t know what was exactly going on inside that mind of hers, she didn’t seem to be too bothered by it.

“No, I will be going alone” Harry answered with a wave of his hand.

“What? Why? Let us come” Sirius blurted out hurriedly, looking both worried and concerned. His Godson was unfathomably strong. He was aware of that, but that didn’t mean that he wanted him to face a couple hundred of enemies on his own even though he had already proved that he could do it.

Sirius knew it was stupid of him, but he was worried all the same…

“Your concern is misplaced. I will be fine. I know how to handle myself” Once again, Harry waved off his concerns. At first, it looked like Sirius wanted to argue, but soon he gave up and accepted Harry’s words. “By the way, do you want me to get rid of her?” Harry asked as he dismissively pointed at the dead body.

“No, I will take care of it myself” Sirius accepted the responsibility with a sigh.

“Well, then I will go and check on my dad” Tonks muttered with a thoughtful look on her face as she reached out to Harry. Harry knew what she wanted so he mentally prepared himself for some teasing before he shared a brief kiss with Tonks, and after that, Tonks quickly scurried out of the room before Sirius could make a jab.

“Wow, you work fast. I am proud of you!!” Sirius exclaimed with a proud look on his face as he patted Harry’s back. “By the way, has anyone given you the ‘TALK’ yet? I don’t want you to become a father this young” Sirius asked with a loony grin on his face as he wiggled his brows at Harry.

Harry gave him an annoyed look. “I already had the ‘TALK’, thank you very much and you are the last person I would want the ‘TALK’ from” Harry griped unhappily and Sirius placed both of his hands over his chest with a mock hurt look on his face.

“So cruel” Sirius gasped out with a fake hurt look on his face, making Harry roll his eyes.

“Alright, Sirius. Since you don’t have anything important to say, I will be on my way” Harry said with a huff as he started to open a Portal, leading to some frozen mountain-top as he wanted his arrival to be completely silent. Before attacking the base, he wanted to deal with the sentries. He wanted to give them a proper surprise, so he couldn’t allow the sentries to alert the base.

“Wait!” Sirius called out before Harry could step through. Harry slowly turned to face Sirius wondering if his Godfather had accidentally raised a flag. “Be careful out there” Sirius said with a hesitant tone and after giving his Godfather a nod, Harry stepped through the portal,

|That was most definitely a flag| Harry decided inside his mind as he shivered in the cold. He was dressed for cold weather, but he wasn’t dressed to tread in snow.

|Just be careful, alright| Lily spoke up before going silent again. Harry simply gave her an equivalent of a nod before casting a Warming Charm on himself. He was still feeling a bit cold since he didn’t want to numb himself too much to his surroundings and the cold he was feeling right now was nothing he couldn’t handle.

The next moment, Harry rolled his shoulders and started to rise in the air and after a few seconds, he was comfortably floating above the mountain top. The base was already in his sight and he could see groups of Muggles and Wixen patrolling the premises, but before heading there, he needed to take care of the sentries.

A small portal opened beside him and after a moment, Harry shoved his hand inside the portal and pulled out a Magically modded M24 with a customized scope. This was the first time he was going to use a gun in actual combat, so he was really excited. He slowly raised the gun and looked through the scope. The scope was equipped with an infrared sensor and a heartbeat monitor. The last bit was a special touch from Harry.

It didn’t take him long to notice his first target. It was a couple of snipers keeping an eye on the dirt track leading to the warehouse. He nodded his head in satisfaction as he started to channel his Magic through the rifle. There was a bit of a draft, but at this range, it wasn’t going to matter, especially with his customizations.

“Night-night, motherfucker” Harry mumbled with a grin and pulled back the trigger and a projectile shot out of the muzzle at the speed of 3950 m/s, which was five times the muzzle velocity of a typical M24. Harry could have made it a bit faster, but he didn’t want the gun to explode in his hands. After all, a piece of metal could only be strengthened so much before its structural integrity failed.

The man didn’t even feel anything before his head exploded like a watermelon. Harry pulled back the lever to load another bullet into the chamber. The magazine was the gun was riddled with runes, which would keep Conjuring bullets along with gunpowder as long as Magic was channeled into the rifle. It was an ingenious piece of Magic, but unfortunately, Harry was the only one who could make it work.

As it was supposedly impossible to Conjure gunpowder according to Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfigurations, but Harry had a habit of ignoring those pesky laws…

And even though Harry could have Conjured bullets straight into the chamber with his Magic, he liked the bolt action, so he decided to Conjure the bullets inside the magazine. He pulled the trigger for the second time and the second sniper’s head exploded just like the first one’s before he could alert anyone.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, he started to look for more targets and after a few more shots, all the sentries were dealt with and he could finally drop by at the base to say hello and give them the surprise of their lifetime…
