"What are you idiots doing here!?" Amelia burst into the Headmasters office. She was out of breath clearly hurrying to arrive here.
She was just sorting through some files when she received a report that some Aurors have gone to Hogwarts to arrest a student. Naturally this seemed strange to her since she has the final word on all cases. But some Aurors go in charging first, hoping to get a lucky break in a case to better their career.
She asked which student they were going to arrest and spat out her tea when she heard it. Those morons were going after Harry Potter's people. And they were even bigger idiots since it was obvious the girl was defending herself. They should be arresting the male students instead. This had Umbridge and Fudge written all over it.
She rushed to Hogwarts hopefully before Harry Potter does something crazy again.

"Boss?" "Lady Bones!" The Aurors were surprised and relived that someone reasonable had finally appeared.
Dawlish however didn't even blink "Just following orders Ma'am"
Amelia deadpanned, she was extremely pissed "Oh? Strange, I don't recall ever giving you the order to come to Hogwarts" she said in a calm cold voice.
"The Minister and the Undersecretary gave this order directly" Dawlish as usual didn't know when to shut up and his head was so stuck up in his ass he couldn't see the situation clearly.
Dumbledore was enjoying the powerplay in front of him. Any discord within the Ministry was always an amusing sight to see.
' I really should go to the Continent again and get more allies. Or blackmail some more. Things are getting far more complicated to my liking. And its all because of the boy. Because of his youth and inexperience he doesn't play by the same rules as the rest of us. Instead of gathering allies all he does is create enemies.
Though to be fair I was the same after I finished Hogwarts. Thought that I was invincible. Took me a few years to realize my faults. Harry Potter is the same just even younger and even more brash.'
Harry glanced at Dumbledore then came to a realization. 'I'm sooo~ STUPID! There has been a perfectly good loot chest all this time and I had completely forgotten. The old man's boyfriend is still stuck in that prison.
I have the Elixir of Life. I can get a perfectly good worker under some extremely heavy oaths or I can just rip apart any memories I can and then trap him with the Soul Flame and extract any memories I might have missed. Or just cook his soul and add its power to my own.
I need to make a pit stop to Austrian Alps, to Nurmengard Castle. It was such a twisted sick way that they screwed over Grindelwald. Trapping a man in his own castle for over fifty years. In just a tiny cell room.'
"I don't care if Merlin himself gave you the order. You run it through me first!" Amelia called out loudly as she glared at Dawlish
"B-but the Minister?!" Dawlish said with his hands spread
"Will hear it from me" Amelia crossed her arms
"Well looks like I won't be declaring a Blood Feud. How disappointing. I was looking forward to getting a bit of revenge" Harry said with a shrug, causing a few of the aurors to shiver in fear, he was being so nonchalant about killing a lot of people
Amelia sighed "Mr. Potter there will most likely be a trail about this matter. I thought it would be prudent to warn you"
Harry just chuckled, that was a reaction she was not expecting
"If there is a trail and they try to manipulate whatever evidence they have to frame Daphne, I will just Declare a Blood Feud against the whole Ministry and call all my allies from across the world."
Everybody instantly understood what he was hinting at. Allies. Meaning all the governments that want to get better deals with Harry for their own countries.
it would be a blood bath. Amelia is horrified and so were the aurors, even more so than before since the boy was actually looking forward to doing it.
"You are willing to risk all the lives in Britain? To kill everybody involved in the Ministry?" Dumbledore asks with a raised eyebrow.
Harry just smirks "Not my problem. If they want to commit suicide I am more than willing to help them out.
"Mr. Potter. Your parents would be so disappointed in you" Minerva chastised the young boy who only laughed
"Disappointed? Like I give a damn what the dead think. The living must survive in this world, the thoughts of the dead don't mean shit"
'The boy is bold I will give him that. But still far too young to realize the consequences of his actions. Well I will just watch from the side-lines as the situation implodes on itself. And for once I had nothing to do with it. I'm completely innocent in the matter and my enemies are fighting amongst themselves. Maybe my luck is changing... did somebody slip me a drop of Liquid Luck?'
Harry signalled the girls to follow him "Please remember that I wanted nothing to do with this country. You are the ones that brought me back and are causing problems for me. If you think I'm just going to sit there and be like everybody else, letting these inbred fucks walk over me you have another thing coming. I won't hesitate to wipe you all out."
"Best of luck to you all" Harry waved his hand as he continued walking not even bothering to look behind. The two girls did glance at the ugly faces of the people inside
Dumbledore coughed into his fist "If you would be too kind, I'd like to get back to work" he said with a slight smile but his meaning was obvious 'Get out of my school!'
Amelia really hated the old man but there was nothing more to do now "Thank you for your patience Headmaster"
She lead the aurors away going back to the Ministry. Fully aware of what an annoying day it was going to be 'Sometimes this job is just not worth it'
~ Ministry.
"You didn't bring them back!" the toad shrieked and Fudge was just as unhappy
"Well considering the evidence that you have gathered is not enough to make an arrest.." Amelia drawled, purposefully annoying them
"I ordered your aurors to arrest them!" Umbridge yelled out, her face going red. It was not a pleasant sight.
"Ahh, yes. Go arrest someone in Harry Potters group. Do you realise how close he was to declaring a Blood Feud against the Ministry" Amelia emphasised that, she was dealing with people who had the IQ of a monkey. If you don't point it out they are never going to get it.
"A Blood Feud!" Amelia turned around and saw Lucius and a few Lords with him entering the Minister's office
'Of course this pain in the ass is here'
"Amelia is it true?" Fudge said with poorly hidden fear in his voice.
"Yes. Lord Potter clearly has no problems with it. He would do it without blinking an eye, gathering all the countries that wish to ally with him, which is all of them. And crush the Ministry."
"W-we must avoid that!" Fudge yelled out
'Of course you dumb oaf.' Amelia's eye twitched as she regained her composure.
"Perhaps we need a change of plans, but he could also be bluffing." Lord Nott mused.
'What am I doing here' Lady Bones was rethinking her life choices. Stuck in a room with moronic pompous assholes.
The Lords in the room were not happy, and since the Minister was on their payroll and Harry had humiliated the Ministry, displeased was a light word for his current state. They had tried to get to Harry through his people.
"Yes. England has one of the strongest wizards in the world. They wouldn't dare attack us" Lord Parkinson said with a smile 'The Dark Lord has also revived. Even if they attack us, we will show them their place'
"But the boy's threats are too big not to take seriously"
"Yes. What if he does decide to do it. Potter doesn't really seem all that... sane" The Minister added
Amelia looked at the ceiling, ignoring the others. ' If they do something stupid. I'm quitting my job. Fighting Dark Wizards is one thing. But I will not be fighting in a war against every magical community in the world, just because these morons couldn't leave a crazy, yet brilliant teenager alone. Wait he is eleven, he is not even a teen yet he can cause another Wizarding War. Lovely, the fate of the world depends on the mood of a child... I need a drink'

"Hello Austrian Alps" Harry looked around at the beautiful scenery. "Hmmm. I expected more snow... but then again it is Spring and almost Summer. You know this is kinda nice." he stood for a while and enjoyed the feeling of nature.
"Yeah. I'm coming back here, its peaceful. But for now I got work to do" he activated the Peverell Cloak and it transformed into a thin membrane that went over him. After that Harry just used a floating spell and flew towards the location of the Prison.
The floating spell was quite common but was not very used. And the reason for it is quite ironic. Despite being versatile it is very slow and its difficult to make quick turns making it useless in battle. And magicians prefer not to waste time so they simply teleport to their location instead of flying.
The only instance when it is used is so magicians can go up in the air where it was safe and activate their projects on the ground. It served well in Harry's current situation, riding on a broom was a pain since he had to manually keep a Disillusionment Charm on it.
And with that he was set to explore.
~ Nurmengard Castle
Harry casually strolled past the few guards that were in the Prison. Since it was so well built and Prisoners had their magic sealed, it required very few guards. Just like Azkaban.
And naturally whenever Harry goes to an interesting place. He gets distracted.
'Ohh, Thats an interesting enchantment.
This rune scheme on the bricks is brilliant.
Mechanical Traps outside the cell if they escape by any chance through the cell and all the magical protections... Nice.'
This went on and on. He finds something interesting, gets lost in thought, reminds himself of his goal and then gets distracted again. It took him an hour to get to the right cell because of the interesting things he saw.
'Grindlewald really was a genius to create this place. I got a lot of ideas on how to improve my home. I can't wait to get started.'
He finally had found the right cell. Inside the cold cell made entirely out of stone sat a thin, weak, frail old man. He looked like a corpse. Muscles atrophied so much that they have almost completely disappeared. His bones clearly visible through his skin, his bald head looked like someone put on a skin mask on a skull.
But his steel blue eyes were clear as always. They looked almost grey and were as powerful and bright as in his youth.
(A/N. In the books Grindelwald has blue eyes)
"Guten Tag, Herr Grindelwald" Harry said with a cheery tone. They were in Austria obviously you go with German to set the mood.
"Your accent sucks. What do you want" the old man didn't even spare him a glance. Still looking at the wall as before.
Harry immediately realized. 'The old man was in his mind palace. Of course he is. He has been trapped here for decades. Not a lot to do. Might as well work on mind magic'
"I've come to make a deal of course. What can you offer me in exchange of your freedom?"
Now that got Grindelwald interested.
