Harry Potter and the Catranas.
Chapter 9- Contact.
Severus sat on his chair in the corner of a dingy bar just outside America, he was waiting for Dumbledore to let Severus know that the plan was going smoothly for now. Waiting for Dumbledore so that he could begin the next part of the plan. Which was, as it usually is, protecting the bloody boy-who-lived. Oh, he did not hate Harry, merely believed that the boy was in too deep a trouble all the time and all he ever really heard at both deatheater meetings and orders meeting is Potter this and Potter that, the only thing that changed was what the different teams had planned for him.
It was early on Thursday morning, a few weeks after Albus's 'funeral' and the pair had agreed to meet up to discuss their options and put a few extra steps in the plan. He had just ordered a drink of orange juice although he thought it would be much easier to take this meeting with a bit of alcohol in his body.
A few minutes later his attention turned to the door of the pub. A man walked in with a long duffle coat and jeans on. He looked around the pub with his eyes resting on Severus for a while before he walked up to the counter and ordered himself a drink. Severus became uneasy at the man's presence as not only was he keeping Severus within his field of vision but was also fingering his wand menacingly. But that could just be because he had a slightly pink tinge to it due to a very unfortunate run in with his son.
Soon after the man, who could not seem to keep his eyes off Severus had gone to the toilet, another man walked in the door. The moment Severus saw him he knew it was Albus. Albus walked over to the bar and ordered himself a drink then collecting it walked over to the table.
"Good even Severus" Albus greeted "Would you like a lemon drop?"
'Typical' Severus thought 'Even in the midst of the battle Albus would be wandering around offering people one of those stupid sweets!'
"No thank you Albus, I believe we have things to discuss right now"
"Indeed we do my boy. What happened to your hair?" Albus asked slyly.
"Albus, you know that was not what we came here to discuss. There are more important things we need to talk about. But I know that you will not let it rest so lets just say I was on the receiving end of one of Lucas's pranks".
"Well then I suppose that we should get on with business then." Albus stated "The plan is going really well at the moment. As far as I am concerned there isn't anyone who suspects that what Harry saw was completely faked. I have adopted the name of Soremal Dudelbub-"
"Soremal Dudelbub? That is such a stupid name Albus! Come on, think of something better, for my sake!" Severus complained clearly outraged.
"Severus please, keep your voice down, you are going to blow our cover" Albus reprimanded Severus "Soremal Dudelbub is the name I have adopted and I rather like it so it is staying besides, if Tom can use anagrams then so can I."
"You would like it" Severus mumbled under his breath.
"What was that Severus?"
"Nothing Albus, lets just get this over with I assume you have other orders to give me."
"Yes indeed. I want you to go to the burrow and stay there till Harry and his company leaves. I want every area of the burrow completely searched and secured every day to ensure that there are no death eaters hanging around and I want you to be as close to the family at all times just in case something does happen and they are left completely exposed."
Oh sure, I'll just walk up to one of the Weasleys and say 'Hi, I know you think I kill the old coot but funny as it may sound he has ordered me to be your baby sitter till Voldemort is killed' Yeah I could imagine their reactions" Severus remarked sarcastically.
"Use your brain boy! I want you to transform into a cat, just an ordinary house cat and become one of the Weasley's pets. You might want to try the youngest Weasley as she is the only one without a familiar."
"Oh great, I get to be owned by a Weasley! The joys of life!
"Well Severus I think that about concludes our meeting for today, unless you can think of anything else that we haven't covered. I will contact you when it is safe or if something happens. I would appreciate it if you did the same"
"Of course Albus." Severus said.
"Well must be off"
"Certainly, don't want to keep the Weasleys waiting" Severus stated before walking out the door and apparating to the lair again to prepare for hell.
