It was Kreacher standing in the pantry, which looked as if he'd turned it into his den as there were ragged blankets and stolen items from the house piled inside.
"Kreacher, Being spying on us have you?" Ace said annoyed as he dragged the house elf out of the pantry and into the kitchen. "Don't hurt him" Piper pleaded as Ace released his grip and Kreacher put the table between him and them.
"Kreacher has been watching" The house elf said in a low and grumbling voice.
"Maybe he knows where the real horcruex is" Finn suggested, knowing Kreacher like to steal items from the house were Regulas Arcturus used to live. Aerrow picked up the locket and walked up to Kreacher, who was hiding himself behind the table.
"You ever seen this before?" Aerrow asked "Kreacher" he added as Kreacher looked as if he wasn't going to answer.
"It's master Regulas's locket" He answered, having to comply with any order given by an Order of the Phoenix member.
"There were two weren't there, where the other one?" Aerrow asked as he dangled the locket from it's chain.
"Oh, Kreacher doesn't know where the other locket is" Kreacher answered.
"Yes but did you ever see it, was it in this house?" Piper asked, stepping forward a little. Kreacher took as few moments before reluctantly answering.
"Yes, it was here, in this house, the most evil object" He said.
"How'd you mean?" Aerrow asked.
"Before master Regulas died he ordered Kreacher to destroy it but no matter how hard Kreacher tried he could not do it" Kreacher answered as he came out from behind the table.
"Well where is it now, did someone take it?" Aerrow asked as the others watched. Kreacher slowly nodded.
"He came in the night, he took many things including the locket" He replied.
"Who, who was it Kreacher?" Aerrow asked.
"Mundungus" Kreacher spat the name.
"Find him" Aerrow ordered, having got the impression stealing from homes wasn't below Mundungus. Kreacher nodded and dissaperated, leaving the Storm Hawks only able to wait for his return.
Across Atmos death eaters were out on the streets, unmasked and unhooded, doing as they pleased and on the look out for any wanted enemies. The Ministry of Magic, in stark contrast to the Sky Knight council which had been shut down and it's hall boarded up, was a hive of activities as the new Minister for Magic, Pius, stood addressing all of the Ministry employees whilst just to the side of the hall, newspapers and leaflets were being distributed with the title, 'Undesirable Number One', which had a photograph of Aerrow underneath.
"As your new Minister of Magic I promise to restore this temple of tolerance to it's former glory" Pius announce as he stood in front of the only change in the repaired fountain hall, the statue, not the golden sculpture of a man and woman holding wands but instead was a cold grey block with a golden symbol on each of the sides saying 'Power Is Might'. Standing besides of the Minister was Umbridge who had previously severed as sectary to Cornelius, the man with a hard, blunt face and a dirty blond ponytail who had been at Cyclonis's meeting and a tall and heavily built man who worked at the Ministry called Runcorn. "Therefore beginning today each employee will submit themselves, for evaluation" Pius said with a slight pause as the crowd parted to revel a group of shabby looking but confident looking men half dragging a beaten and weakened man through the hall with the leader, who was walking at the front, giving a slight bow to the Minister as they walked through. "But know this you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" He informed the crowd as Umbridge, gleeful by the change in policy, gave a slight giggle in her high girlish voice, sounding like poisoned honey.
In a darked street, people were not lingering in their business as dodgy dealings were occurring all around the run down and boarded up shops and homes. Among the crooks and scoundrels was Mundungus. Having completed a deal, ripping the man off of course, he began to walk through a back street ally, before his customer realised he'd been tricked. But Mundungus never got to the other end of the ally as someone dissaperated next to him before grabbing him and dissaperating them both away.
