"What do you mean you won't help us to rescue professor Dumbledore from Voldemort's clutches?" screamed Hermione while the whole Order was staring dumbly at Harry.
"That is true. I contacted Voldemort through our link and he promised to send professor Dumbledore back alive on September 1st. Because Voldemort already has him, the professor is perfectly safe from Death Eater attacks." replied Harry.
"But they will torture him and do horrible things to him..." sobbed Hermione.
"That is besides the point. The professor is safe from DE attacks and he will be coming back to school on September 1st. This is exactly same situation as my summer vacations and I see no need to launch any foolish rescue operations... Wait a minute." said Harry
The order watches quietly as Harry's eye go out of focus. After about two minutes his attention returns to the meeting at hand.
"I spoke with Voldemort again and he agreed to allow professor Dumbledore to send letters to us every 3 days to let us know how he is doing. This way we will know that the DEs are not mistreating him too badly. If there are any problems, I will give Voldemort a firm lecture about prisoner handling." Harry informed them.
"Harry! How can you be so heartless to say something like that?" screamed Hermione.
"What do you mean by heartless? I don't understand." said confused Harry.
"How can you leave professor Dumbledore at the hands of DEs and Voldemort like that?" screeched Hermione (this is waaaaaay above screaming).
"What are you on to, Hermione? Professor Dumbledore will be spending the summer vacations with Voldemort and his DEs. He will be sending us letters every three days. And we also know that he will be coming back to school on September 1st. I do not see any problem with professor's summer plans." Harry summarised.
"But they will TORTURE professor Dumbledore for the whole summer!" cried Hermione.
"Bah! DEs and Voldemort torturing... Wait a second..." Harry phases out again for a moment.
"Yes, Voldemort even agreed that professor Dumbledore will be as 'sane'" here Harry grimaced a little bit "as he was before the kidnapping. I have always wanted to make my own plans for summer vacations, but you lot have always forced me to go back to the Dursleys. I will not be repeating your mistake and start forcing professor Dumbledore to follow your plans for his summers. In fact I will not follow your plans even for my summers. I will stay here for the rest of summer vacations. I brought my things with me because I did not know anything about what was going on. Did anyone have anything else to discuss besides professor Dumbledore's summer plans?" asked Harry calmly.
The whole order was staring at him, totally dumbfounded.
"OK, that is it then. Unless there is another emergency, I think I will see you all at the regular order meeting Saturday evening. Goodnight everybody." Harry continued calmly, stood up and left the kitchen of Grimmauld place number 12.
Some five seconds later the whole room erupted in chaos...
