CHAPTER 4
Harry grinned at the Weasleys...happy to see all of them arrive together safely; he noticed that Percy wasn't there; he was also surprised at seeing Luna with them.
Mrs. Weasley came over to Harry and gave hi, a big hug...she was looking rather worried.
"Hello dear." She said.
Mr. Weasley gave him a pat on the shoulder as Lupin quickly joined him and walked into their conference room with him.
Harry turned back to see Ron, Fred, George and Ginny grinning back at him. Luna gave Harry a small wave as Mrs. Weasley ushered her into the conference room too.
Bill and Charlie also walked into the conference room after wishing Harry a good morning and muttering a quiet thanks....
"All right mate" asked Ron...then noticed that Harry was taking in his pajamas and grinned sheepishly, "Cool PJ's, huh?"
Fred, George and Ginny had burst out laughing watching Harry's sickened face...
"Don't tell him, we bewitched it and he thinks it's a Cannons PJ with a snitch flying all over it" whispered George in Harry's ear as Harry continue staring at the pajamas in which a number of small red hearts were flying about and colliding into one another.
"Yeah, real cool...Ron, just make sure that Fred and George don't get their hands on this one, who knows what they might do to it" grinned Harry, as the other three began sniggering.
"What's with these nutters, anyway?" asked Ron, rather upset.
"We're just jealous, Ron" said Ginny sweetly.
"Yeah, well... What's the story Harry?" asked Ron, casting around for a different subject.
"We were all hurried out of bed by the Order...you must have had a dream, right?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah...Voldemort was planning to attack the burrow...so I got to Dumbledore. What's Luna doing with you guys anyway?"
"You-Know-Who killed her father, Harry. She turned up with dad yesterday morning, she hasn't told us anything...poor girl" said George seriously.
"Can't eavesdrop into the room" announced Fred, turning away from the conference room door, "they're probably asking her what happened at her house two days back."
The five of them launched into their theories of the attack on the Diggorys. After a while...a sudden crack announced the return of Mad-Eye Moody, Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Albus Dumbledore.
"Wotcher Harry" said Tonks, she looked as though she had camouflaged herself...she was completely brown...the same colour as the earth.
"Potter, you ok?" growled Moody.
"What happened?" asked Harry. "Did you get any Death Eaters?"
"No Harry... as a matter of fact...there was no attack on the Burrow...I wonder how they came to know that a rescue mission had been planned...well, the Weasleys are safe, anyway" answered Dumbledore. He gave Harry a slight smile as the four walked past them into the conference room, which had been opened by Mrs. Weasley.
Harry looked at Ron and Ginny, who were looking at Harry as though they were also wondering the same thing.
Had Voldemort planted another vision in his mind? The last one had caused him grief beyond pain. The thought was numbing...however, the Weasleys were safe, and Dumbledore had himself said that the chances that Voldemort could plant a vision in his mind were nil. That would mean that Voldemort had a spy somewhere. Who was it?
Something somewhere was very wrong. How had the spy contacted Voldemort right under Dumbledore's nose? One would have to be very wily to do that, but Dumbledore could be deceived...hadn't Barty Crouch Jr. done the same.
Harry didn't know what to think, he would have trusted anyone in this room with his life. He would need Hermione's help on this one. Or had Voldemort read his mind? Nah, if he couldn't plant visions, nor could he read them...what was going on?
Harry kept his suspicions to himself...he didn't want to tell anyone in case it got to the spy's ears too, if there was one.
"You sure You-Know-Who didn't ... you know" said Ron hesitantly, he wasn't sure how Harry would react to the idea of another false vision. Ginny, Fred and George were looking expectantly at Harry.
"Um...I'm not sure...I don't think so," said Harry.
Ron started to say something, but Ginny cut in and said "Drop it, Ron", Harry gave her a slight grateful smile and she smiled back at him.
"Yeah, ok" said Ron.
Fred and George were staring at the conference room morosely. "We're old enough to join the Order, but mum still gets kittens every time we mention it" said Fred gloomily.
"But, on a brighter note...The Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes are proud to present to our generous financer," said George.
"Free of cost, of course" added Fred.
"Our very first" said George.
"And only Sperrorell disrupter." finished Fred.
"What's this?" asked Harry, taking a small black ball from the twins.
"It disrupts previously cast spells...causes some other spell to take place in place of the one that's been cast" explained George.
"Yeah, just slip it under Malfoy's desk and activate it" said Fred gleefully.
"How?" asked Harry and Ron together...anything that would give Malfoy a headache was more than welcome.
"Ah, Harry, you know the password... 'I solemnly swear I am up to no -'".
Harry gave them a small grin and pocketed the ball. His anguish had suddenly flooded back at the memory of the Marauders famous words. Sirius would have enjoyed this stuff, he thought bitterly.
He turned around and pulled himself together.
"Thanks Fred, George" he said.
Ron had settled onto the sofa and was looking rather hesitantly around the Black Manor...
"Ron, you know when Hermione's gonna come over" asked Harry.
"She was going to come to the Burrow tomorrow...that reminds me...can I borrow Hedwig when she comes back? I'll write to her and ask her to come over here directly" said Ron.
"Sure...she'll probably be desperate to know her OWLs and all." smirked Harry.
"Yeah..."grinned Ron, "She'll do great, hope we won't get ours till after we get out of Hogwarts, eh?"
"You know something Harry, I noticed that Ron seems to spend too much time thinking, speaking and writing to Hermione" said Ginny slyly.
Harry caught on "Yeah, I remember how upset he was when Hermione went to the ball with Vicky."
"Cut it out, you two" said Ron in a small voice. He was particularly glad that Fred and George were occupied with something and hadn't listened to this part of the conversation. The heat was rising up his face.
A small click told them that the conference room door had opened.
"Harry dear, join us in the room, will you" said Mrs. Weasley. "You four can stay right where you are" she added forcefully as the others also made a move to get up from the sofa.
This is not really where I wanted to leave this chapter, but typing gets to me...so this will have to do.
R/R plz thanx
