37 The Lunatic is Alive

The first thing that came in his view was a familiar ceiling, he hasn't seen it for years. It was night time and there was no one in the infirmary. He got up from his bed and looked at his nails, They were healed completely. He wandlessly summoned his wand and clothes from the side table. He stumbled a little bit as he began to slowly walk towards the exit, There was weakness in his legs.

'How long have I been sleeping'

The moon was up high in the dark sky, Spreading its light everywhere. Blair could see everything under it. Standing at the edge of the wards he looked at Hogwarts one last time before apparating away. He didn't notice an old man staring at him through the window of one of the towers of Hogwarts.

His next stop was Leakey Cauldron. There he brought a bottle of whiskey as he didn't have that much money stored in his hidden pocket.

Grindlewald's estate.

"Lucas"

"Master" a house elf appeared in front of him. The young house elf was wearing a white shirt which covered his entire body and Even though the shirt was oversized, It was clean.

"Did you take good care of Olivia"

"Yes master"

"Good, you can go" The house elf apparated away with a proud expression on his face.

Blair didn't go to Olivia's room instead he went to the Library and sat on his usual chair. He took out the whiskey bottle he just brought and took a huge gulp of it. He was angry right now, really angry. Rage was burning inside him. He lost a good chance of curing olivia (Not completely cure) just because of his negligence. If he had just checked on that old man, He would probably be transferring Olivia's soul right now. This made Blair drink even more liquor. He spent the entire night drinking in silence.

The next day, Ministry of Magic.

"I would like to retrieve my wand"

"Name of the wand owner?" The women on the counter lazily said without even looking at him. She was solving a crossword. Probably got bored with sitting in the same place every day.

"Blair Bradley"

The women's hand suddenly stopped, She immediately looked away from the paper towards Blair. She looked at him with wide eyes, As if she has seen a ghost. The man at the side counter was also looking at him with wide eyes.

Everyone probably assumed that he was dead after finding his wand.

"Can you please give me my wand"

"Ahh..ohh right, wait for a second"

The women hurriedly waved her wand and instantly a familiar sharp black wand came flying towards him. He quickly grabbed it. Just as the wand fell on his right hand, He felt a warmth spreading throughout his body.

"We found your first wand broken in rumbles, so its core has been given to Ollivander's shop, to make a different wand with that core. If you want it back, you can just fill this form here"

"No need" Blair had the powerful one in his hand anyway.

"Ok have a good day sir" Blair nodded before leaving the Ministry. His next stop was Leaky Cauldron to refill his liquor supplies. Most of the people were looking at him with surprise. As he was presumed dead and He was quite a well known figure in the British Wizarding World. A powerful Muggleborn lunatic who killed numerous Death Eaters all by himself. Despite the articles in the daily prophet, many young people admired him, especially the Gryffindors who viewed him like a hero fighting against the evil for light.

Blair didn't care about this admiration as he was not killing the death eaters for righteousness, He was killing them for revenge.

As for Voldemort, He hated Blair to the bone. He was probably number one on their hit list followed by Dumbledore. The reason Dumbledore got the second spot on the list was that, despite him being more powerful then Blair, he rarely killed any Death eaters, He would rarely come to fights as he was busy fighting a diplomatic war in the Ministry.

After returning to Grindlewald's estate he again sat on the chair and began to drink liquor.

'I have to find a new potion master'

Blair sighed before continuing his drinking.

4 October 1976, Practise ground near Grindlewald's estate.

Blair was doing his daily practise while wearing his regular navy Blue trench coat. In this past 4 months, the attacks by death eaters have increased. The war was probably at its peak. Small skirmishes between the Death eaters, Aurors and the order were happening daily. Blair was also fighting alongside the order at least thrice a weak. He also has been attending the order meetings, Dumbledore requested him to attend.

"Chrip.....chip"

Suddenly he heard the voice of his coin. He quickly took out the coin from his coat and looked at its backside.

' EMERGENCY QUICKLY COME IN FRONT OF GRINGOTTS WITH YOUR WAND ALREADY DRAW, APPARATION WARDS ARE DOWN'

He took out his wand and apparated to Diagon Alley

"Avada Kedavra"

Blair quickly ducked down as a green passed by him. He looked at the victim of the curse. Blair recognised him as he had met him during order meeting.

'Caradoc Derborn'

Blair didn't waste any time, He pointed his wand towards the attacker.

"Avada Kedavra"

His curse directly hit the attacker on his chest. He tried to dodge it, But was not quick enough.

'Thud'

After that he quickly looked around, the surrounding was chaos, utter Chaos. spells were flying everywhere, people screaming everywhere. Order members and death eaters fighting a violent battle. Hell, Dumbledore and Voldermort were also there, engaged into a furious duel. Bellatrix was fighting Alastor Moody and Aberforth Dumbledore all by herself.

Blair's eyes stopped on a pair of twins fighting with a group of 5 inner circle Death eaters. One of the twins was casting a shield spell while laying on the ground, both of his legs were injured while the other twin was full-on offensive mode. He was rapidly casting spells towards the death eaters. There was rage in his eyes. He was also heavenly injured, there were huge blood patches all over his clothes.

'Prewett twins'

"Do you think we are going to go down this easily, Reducto"

Blair had to admit, their coordination was top notch. He quickly rushed towards them.

"Avada Kedavra". While shooting a killing curse he threw his sword towards the other death eater.

'Thud'

'Ghack'(A/N don't laugh, ok)

The killing curse hit a death eater on his back, Whereas the sword pierced right through the other death eater's heart.

This caught the remaining 3 dead eater's attention.

" Constant Vigilance" one of the twins laughed after seeing who attacked the Death Eaters.

" SHIT, IT'S THAT MUDBLOOD"

With this, the table has turned. 2 of the death eaters began to fight him whereas the last one was facing the two injured twins. The defeat of the three death eaters was inevitable.

'Thud'

After the last death eater went down Blair threw two small glass bottles with red liquid towards the twins.

"Here take these healing potions and heal yourself"

"Thanks for the backup mate, I thought this was going to be our last fight"

Blair nodded before turning around and preparing to face another death eaters. But to his disappointment, the death eaters retreated with their master.

Suddenly.

"Merlins, DUMBLEDORE quick Madeye is heavily injured"

Blair glanced towards the voice just to see an order member shouting frantically near a heavenly wounded Madeye. He rushed towards him. Alastor's whole face was mutilated, His left leg severed. He also had multiple wounds all over his body.

Blair quickly took a healing potion and forced the healing liquid through Alastor's mouth.

"Does anyone know how to cast a healing spell" Blair shouted.

"I know" A slightly injured women said while taking out her wand.

"Keep on casting, Until the healers arrive" the Women nodded.

After a few seconds Dumbledore came with a grave expression on his face.

"The Minister of Magic is dead. He was murdered in front of hundreds of people by Voldemort"
