Following the events of the same universe where Juliet Potter and Remus Lupin fell in love, the insouciance has faded into misery as all parties prepare for the war, willing to pull any card to win a war from which none will truly come out victoriou...

Strolling down the long hallway with Dumbledore, passing the people that were running in every direction, she barely noticed they were in his office in a matter of minutes. But they didn't have time for trivial discussions and that was exactly the place they needed to be anyways.
"We literally could have talked downstairs."
"I believe what you seek is within these walls."
"You might be correct." She crossed her arms against her chest, quickly glancing around. "So where is the sword?"
"... The sword, Ms Potter?"
"Yes, the sword, Professor. If anyone has it, it would be you. If Ravenclaw's diadem is real, if Slytherin's locket is real and if Hufflepuff's cup was real, then it can only mean that Godric Gryffindor's sword also exists. And something tells me it is the same one my mother was wielding when she killed the basilisk."
Dumbledore seemed to almost smile, or his expression was at least somewhat pleasant. "You are full of surprises."
"Surprise? You said what I was seeking laid in this room- so what exactly did you believe I was referring to?"
Albus simply pulled out his wand, having Juliet raise an eyebrow, clicking her tongue before she retorted. "Girl, my wand works perfectly fine."
"I suppose you wouldn't know the story as only the likes of Mr Lovegood would know."
It took Juliet a second. "My God. The Deathly Hallows. That's the Elder wand? Mate, you need to stop hoarding magical artifacts."
"I've acquired it after the years I've wasted seeking it. It came to my attention only recently that Voldemort has been destroying everything on his path while looking for it."
"Severus?"
"Indeed. Perhaps it was the reason he did not personally attack you until now. The Elder wand... he believes would rid him of all vulnerability."
"Only thing making him invincible right now are his lousy Horcruxes that we're working on destroying right now."
"He does not understand that. I believe you were acquainted with Ollivander?"
"Are you kidding? Every wizard knows him."
"Well, who would have known of wands better than the wand maker himself?"
Juliet's eyes widened in horror. "He went after Ollivander? Is he well?"
"He is weak. He's been tortured, made it out by barely divulging rumors he had heard, same ones that led me to the Elder wand. Same ones that led Voldemort to kill Grindelwald."
