It had taken a lot of doing as well as a lot of cash, but it should work.

It had started with an article about munitions that blossomed into a full plan.

It started by bribing the aurors...

...then others in the ministry.

Then he had to find some contacts in the Russian Mafia.

After that he had to deal with the Italians and the Yakuza.

Then he had to deal with the gunrunners to get the first part of it.

Then he had to deal with the Wizarding mafia in order to get ahold of the instructions for making a timeturner.

That had taken a lot of effort to cobble togather one that was suitable for his purposes with the main downside for utilizing a time turner was that the longer the time hop, the bigger the thing had to be which meant that his goal would require a very large one with a very limited area of effect.

Next he had to bribe Hermione, which meant spending more on ancient tomes of rather worthless things than he had on the rest of his plan, to learn how to make a portkey.

After that he had to bribe Moody into letting him get some information out of a death eater. He still wasn't sure just what that lunatic had expected him to do to the dark wizard, but in the end the location of Voldemort had been assured.

Getting the package into Tommy boys hands was rather easy when he simply yelled "Catch" and tossed it at him while the two magical "upgrades" kicked in and the Heir of Slytherin vanished with a bang.

Laughing like a madman, Harry left while smiling.

The Portkey was to send the Dark Lord to a remote location in Siberia and the time turner had been set to send him back to a specific date, namely June 30th, 1908.

For the last part, God bless Russian Nukes...

Tunguska, eh? So the power he knows not is what exactly? :snigger:

Just what keeps Voldy from apparating out of the way once he gets to Siberia? IIRC the explosion there was an airburst so the package will have to portkey into Russian airspace, timeturn to the past, and expand into a nuke...

To do all that Harry's power must be something like dance choreography. :p

Nice snippet. :yay:

All three effects happened simultaniously, the expansion of the bomb, the portkey, and the timetravel. The widescale effects of the explosion were an "unfortunate" effect of the Nuke detonating while in transit

forgive me for killing cat girls but wouldn't the use of a nuke make the area uninhabitable for at least 24000 years

Read some of the theories of the Tunguska Event, nukes are some of them

Given that people are living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki today, not really. The time it takes for the really bad effects to dissapear varies with the type of nuke used. Little Boy and Fat Man were both fairly "dirty" nukes, and children born there for the first few decades were often malformed. Today though, the radioactivity is barely above background.

24000 years is just absurd.

There are a lot of different types of "modern nukes". From 'small' kilotonne-range tactical warheads to multi-megatonne thermonuclear monstrosities. The largest ones are all fusion based rather than fission, and are thus much cleaner, as they emit only hard radiation, deuterium, tritium, and various types of helium and lithium. None of which have a very long half-lives at all. Tritium. for example, has a half life measured in either seconds or minutes, I can't recall at the moment.

Well, except deuterium, but the idea of dying from radioactivity exposure from deuterium is ludicrous in the extreme.

There is one type of bomb though which can poison the land around for centuries, even millenia. The dirty radium bomb, and others of the same type are very, very nasty. However, they aren't nukes. Just conventional explosives set to deliver large amounts of radioactive heavy metals in powder form in the explosion.

That would be true if it weren't for the fact that H-bombs use a fission bomb as a trigger...
