Chapter II

TEASER

Harry lay on the ground and stared the incoming man clad in black. Sweat was dripping as Harry raised his wand. "Stay back!!! Stay back!!!" he yelled.

The man continued to walk forward slowly. Harry closed his eyes tightly, but soon opened them. "Avada kedavra!!!"

PRESENT TIME

Harry felt the breeze touch his face as he and Ron rushed through the clouds on their broomsticks. Soon they would meet Hermione and start their crusade to find out who was tormenting Harry.

Ron stayed quiet as they rushed through the blue sky. He had not talked to Hermione for months. They had had an argument which had yet to be mended, and Ron did not know what would happen next; however, Harry was in trouble and Ron needed to help.

Hermione was waiting with her arms crossed, clearly angry. Harry and Ron were already running late by an hour, and if they didn't get there soon Hermione would leave.

She paced up and down trying to burn some time. "Should have brought a book." she said to herself angrily.

Finally, she saw two specks coming towards her. Before she knew it, Harry and Ron were there. She rushed towards them "FINALLY!!! So, you decided that you'd rather sleep an hour more and leave me here waiting like an idiot!?"

Harry grinned slightly "Sorry Hermione, we had lots of chores to do"

Hermione was still upset, but decided to drop the subject. There was a small moment of silence and then she spoke "Well, it's nice to see you Harry…" she looked at Ron "Ronald…"

Ron nodded and Hermione turned her attention to Harry "Alright Harry, we've got to this now. I think I know where Gregorious will be, but he's known to move around a lot. There's now knowing where he'll be if he moves, so we can't waste time."

Harry nodded and then said "Well, do you have the portkey?"

Hermione took out a hair brush "I've charmed it to take us to Diagon Alley…"

Ron spoke next, reluctantly "Er, Hermione, would you mind actually telling us where Gregorious is?"

Hermione turned to him and raised an eyebrow "So what Ronald, you don't trust me? You think I can't do it right by myself?"

Ron replied defensively "I-I just want to know… I mean, you don't have to go all crazy on me and-"

"Well forgive me for not informing you about everything that goes on in my life, Ronald!!!" Hermione interrupted angrily.

Ron was clearly getting frustrated "What the bloody hell is your problem!? It's been months, can't you get over it?"

Hermione shook her head "No Ronald, I can't. For your information, I actually have emotions… and you're one big bloody mothe---"

"GUYS!!!" Harry yelled. Ron and Hermione turned to him. He replied slowly to hide his own frustration "Get over it, both of you… and stop your bickering, it's really annoying."

Hermione's face was red, but she nodded. Harry turned to Ron who also nodded. Harry smiled "Alright then, let's do this."

The three touched the hairbrush and everything around them suddenly disappeared. There was a jerking feeling and then they were in Diagon Ally.

Hermione looked around quickly "Alright, we're going to disapperate together. There's a house somewhere close to here and I think that's where Gregorious currently resides."

Ron rolled his eyes "Why didn't we just disapperate from the last location instead of using the portkey!?"

Hermione turned to him "I guess I wanted to make you suffer" she said sarcastically.

Harry looked at Ron "Listen Ron, Hermione knows what she's doing and you know that… just let her do what she knows how to do."

Ron nodded. Hermione gave them a summary of her plan and then they all disapperated.

Harry led the way to the small house. He was cautious with every step, making sure that there were no surprises. He spoke as he walked "So Hermione, this Gregorious man… is he really trustworthy, I mean… Ron and I've met him, but we don't really know him… he says he's a friend but I don't know."

Hermione clearly thought about here answer "Well, I've been studying some of his work to do an article on it. It's actually interesting. He proposes various theories and they actually seem plausible; however, I've never met him face to face. I've go no clear base to say whether or not his trustworthy. I don't even know if he'll let us talk to him…"

Harry was a bit confused. He had thought that Hermione had already made sure that this trip wasn't wasted and that's exactly what he said: "Well, if that's true this could have all been a failed expedition. I thought you already had everything ready…"

Hermione answered in a frustrated tone "Well, that's typical. Ever since we first met, you guys have relied on me to do everything. Anyways, I'm going to rely on your famed status of 'The Boy Who Lived' and that fact that you and the Weasly's know him. Hopefully that will draw enough attention and he'll speak with us."

"Well, we're going to find out in a few seconds" Harry said as he raised his hand to knock on the black wooden door…

To Be Continued
