Chapter9—The grab!

.

Harry saw his love off for her final year at Hogwarts. He would see her whenever she wanted, whether that was weekends or just whenever but it was not like being in her company the majority of the day and that was going to make him sad.

Susan found Hannah Abbott and they chatted with a couple of their Housemates making the trip to Hogsmeade station seem not so long. The carriage ride was met by Professor Snape who ordered Susan to accompany him. They arrived at Snape's office where he and Dumbledore grabbed and dragged a kicking and screaming Lady Potter to a cell in the dungeons. She was dumped on the cot and the cell door clanged shut. They were secure in their thoughts that by tomorrow they would have their hands on one Harry Potter.

"Severus, grab an owl from the owlery and meet me in my office." Dumbledore ordered.

A few minutes later, "Albus here is the owl but you best hurry you have the opening feast to preside over."

"Not to worry Severus I have the letter already written and I just have to attach it and send the owl on its way."

The letter attached, "Please take that to Harry Potter."

The owl first turned to look at the requestor with a look of 'Do I look like a fool'? The owl turned it back on the idiots. He was not even going to attempt a trip to the moon.

"I said; take the letter to Harry Potter." Albus ordered.

The owl ripped the letter off his leg and flew off hoping to find a mouse on a long hunt away from the crazy wizards.

Great Hall:

Albus Dumbledore conducted the welcoming feast with aplomb and flourish. He did not see Hannah Abbott looking around the table for Susan Potter with a questioning look upon her face. An owl would be dispatched after the feast to her parents asking for what to do as something was wrong.

Dumbledore was enjoying his meal. He would get another owl to deliver the letter or maybe Fawkes was back by now.

Abbott Manor:

The Owl from Hannah arrived half an hour later and a 'floe' call was made by Lady Abbott immediately to her old school friend Amelia.

Susan was more than pissed. Not a word as to why she was grabbed and thrown into a cell. Further she was treated quite roughly as far as she was concerned. She was steaming as she sat on the cot while she was nervously playing with her wedding ring. "The ring of course" Thinking of home and Harry she tapped the transporter ring and disappeared for home.

Bones Manor:

Amelia did not like what her friend said; Susan had no reason to miss the feast and should not have been in any trouble. There was one way to tell as she entered the 'floe' shouting "Headmaster's office Hogwarts".

Headmaster' Office Hogwarts:

Dumbledore was in the process of threatening an owl to make his important delivery when his 'floe' lit to the shout. "Albus I want to see Susan immediately"

Potter's Moon Dome:

Susan arrived and flung herself in Harry's arms. "Love, what's the matter, why did you leave school so soon?"

Moon launch could describe Harry's reaction to Susan's answer. Harry was on his way to kill, murder, terminate and just beat the crap out of a couple of jerks but Susan stopped him. Between committing justifiable acts of violence or consoling a trembling and crying wife, the wife won. So they hugged and snuggled and drank hot cocoa and later fell asleep in each others arms.

Headmaster' Office Hogwarts:

"Dumbledore no more of your fast talk I want to see Susan this instant."

"Amelia it's late and I am sure Susan is asleep by now. Waking her right now is sure to upset…"

Throwing the floe powder into the fireplace Amelia called for four Aurors.

"What's the problem Madam Bones?" asked Auror Proudfoot.

"My Niece apparently has gone missing and this jerk is double talking. Dumbledore! Last chance bring me my niece now or tell me where she is!"

"Now Amelia you can't…"

Dumbledore stopped as Amelia picked up a torn open letter the first owl didn't deliver. I took a second to read and…

"Proudfoot take him in and throw him into a cell. Send all the available troops we have a castle to secure all major areas."

Hufflepuff Common Room, minutes later:

"Proffessor Sprout would you see if Susan is somewhere in Hufflepuff?" Amelia asked.

"Hannah when was the last time you saw Susan?"

"We got out of the carriage and Snape took her away."

"Robards, Williamson I want Snape in the Great Hall yesterday! Rufus stick with me."

Several sneers later and Snape was carted off to a holding cell. Then Amelia had an idea and requested that Hedwick be found, she was to join Susan at school, and could at least notify Harry.

A note was drafted and tied to Hedwick's leg and when told to take it to Harry, Hedwick pecked at her leg and disappeared. That left a few open mouths and hanging jaws. Twenty minutes later Harry and Susan arrived in the Great Hall. A minute later Hedwick suddenly appeared on Harry's shoulder. Amelia was giving them the fish-eye as Susan told her tale. Susan and Harry were hiding something she was going to check if 'apperation' licenses had been issued to the two later and come to think about it, where were the two living?

Days later:

"Susan are you sure?" Amelia asked.

"Yes Auntie you couldn't keep Dumbledore or Snape in jail. With those two at Hogwarts I am not going to return. It's hard enough trying to keep Harry from blasting them into oblivion."

"I must ask you Harry why you are 'apperating' without a license, and how did you teach Hedwick?"

"Woops, sorry Amelia but we all are not 'apperating' these rings do all the work." Harry showed the nondescript ring on his finger as did Susan.

"That's another thing, where are you two living? You know I might like to drop by for a visit sometime!"

Susan couldn't help herself, how was Harry going to get out of this one? Aunties look showed she would not take any double-talk. Susan broke out laughing.

"Amelia I could joke about this but showing you would stop you from calling me a liar, when do you have a free day?" I was weighing the pro's and con's but…

"Saturday I can make free for the entire day."

"We will need a secrecy vow over what you will be shown, just believe me you will be surprised."

I was never, ever, so completely happy that I got that oath from Amelia. Saturday turned out to be more than I could imagine and nothing I wanted anyone to know. Hell they would probably lock me away somewhere just thinking about it.

/Scene Break/

Potter's Moon Dome Saturday:

I side-a-long transported Amelia to the dome. Turning out the lights and seeing the universe was always beautiful, Amelia handled it well.

We were going to show her some of the Potter hide-a-way when turning out the lights became redundant even though we hastily did for everones saftey.
