Taking Charge of his World

Part 7

"We need to send them an owl." Harry said. He looked up and Hedwig flew in and unto his arm. He smiled at her and petted her feathers.

Hermione looked up and smiled. There was something very special about the bond between Harry and his owl. She always seemed to know when he needed her.

"Hi girl you are so clever." Harry said."Always showing up when I needed you." Harry cooed at Hedwig and the owl preened. Hermione smiled at it. She had to admit she loved the owl almost as much as Harry. Had Hedwig been a girl or woman Hermione would have been very jealous but as an owl she was just a well loved friend.

Harry tied the note onto his owl and sent her off with a warning to be careful and take no chances.

"I swear Harry that owl has you whipped almost as bad as Hermione does." Ron said.

Harry shrugged and smiled it was the truth. He was completely wrapped around Hedwig's Talons and Hermione's fingers. He had been since that first day when she had repaired his glasses. She was the first person he had met who had done something just to be kind. Well outside of Hagrid but he had fixed gotten his owl and brought that cake as a birthday present. Harry would always love the gentle giant for that. "Yeah and that's a bad thing why?"

"Dunno it just seems a bit off. Then again Hedwig is the smartest Owl and Hermione the smartest witch so maybe it does make sense." Ron said with a grin. "So where to now, if we go back to school you will be under Dumbledore's thumb again."

"I know, we need to get to the bank. The Goblins might be able to help us. I am sure if I offer them a fair price they can find a safe place for us. While I know I won the H.Q. it's under that Fidelus and Dumbledore will control access. Not something I want in a home of mine. I want somewhere safe and large enough to hold us all you, Hermione her family, yours and Tonks and hers along with Remus and the Longbottoms and Luna and her dad. We will need to stock it up. Dobby and Winky should be able to help with that. I also want to see about getting more elves. They were life savers today." Harry said. "I don't trust Dumbledore anymore and I want a safe place we control."

"I hate to agree but I do, I think we should contact Bill and Charlie maybe they can help us. I know the twins will and maybe some of our friends from D.A. It's time we build our own army and take the fight to the D.E.'s." Ron said thinking strategically.

Harry nodded and rose from his sitting position. "Yeah we have to plan. I think I am going to talk to Dr. Granger maybe he can help."

"Harry no offence to Hermione but her dad's a Muggle. What does he know about making war?" Ron asked.

Harry laughed at that. "Ron I love you like a brother but you have to understand something. Wizards are piss poor planners for war. Muggles on the other hand well they are war."

Ron looked confused Harry smiled and got up and went to the bookcase he pulled a book out. It was called "THE ART OF WAR" this was written by a Muggle general a long time ago and this is war and how to win."

Ron took the book and flipped it over. He was not much of a reader but maybe there was something of value in that book. Hermione would not have useless books around and he had a feeling her family would not either so he took the book found a chair sat down and began to read. Harry smiled and went to look for his love. He hoped she convinced her parents that it was about to get bad. He needed them on the right page so they could plan how to fight. He had no intention of fighting the war the way Dumbledore or the Ministry did. If a wizard or witch tried to hurt him or his friends and allies said witch or wizard was dead. No second chances no I was forced to do it. It was you are going down and going down hard and probably won' t get back up again. Harry intended to use both Muggle and Magical ways to save people and to end the D.E.s.
