Hey everybody, I'm back again. Fun Fact: I had no idea what to name this chapter, other options included Discovered, Uncovered, and Chapter 22 Blah blah blaah, probably legit excuse why I didn't write. Question for audience to answer. Joke that's actually not funny here. Enjoy the story.
A week ago
In Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore sat in his office doing paperwork. Being headmaster of a school, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot meant that he always had work to do and with Minister Fudge always asking for his advice he found himself spending more time in his office the not. He was glad for the first time in a while to be in his office when an alarm went off, Dumbledore jerked his head up to look at the silver ornament that sat on his desk as it wailed. The device that was supposed to tell him if Harry Potter was leaving his home with no intent to come back. It told him one thing that Harry Potter was in danger, what it didn't tell him was that this wasn't the first time that this had happened. He stood up, sending off a patronus to McGonagall, to let her know what was happening, before he sprinted towards the edge of Hogwarts's wards. As soon as he passed the ward line, Dumbledore turned on his heel and apperated to number 4 Privet Drive, he looked around and there didn't seem to be anything wrong but with magic you never knew.
Dumbledore walked up to the door and knocked, as soon as the door was open he slipped inside of the house. Petunia shrieked and Vernon came running towards the door.
"What do you think you're doing? Forcing your freakishness in here like you own the place" Vernon screamed.
"I need to speak to you about an urgent matter," Dumbledore said
"We don't want your kind in our house"
"Where's Harry," Dumbledore continued ignoring Vernon.
"He's not here. You people should have told us before you took him. There was a list of chores he was supposed to finish." Petunia answered
"How long has he been gone?"
Petunia huffed, "The boy's been gone almost six months"
Dumbledore stilled, Harry had been missing for six months, Merlin only knew where he could be.
"Get out!" Vernon yelled, done with Dumbledore in his house.
"Mrs. Dursley I didn't remove Harry from your household-," He didn't get a chance to finish as Vernon succeeded in pushing him out of the door.
Dumbledore apperated back to Hogwarts intending on gathering the Order of the Phoenix. What he didn't know was that this wasn't the first time that the alarm had gone off, the last time he had been in the great hall during breakfast, that this wouldn't be the last time that alarm went off, and that Harry was safe and sound where he was.
Presently
After stopping back at the cave, to pick up the things that they had had to leave behind, the quintuplet made their way to another new cave(because England has lots of caves and not because yours truly is too lazy to come up with another location). This cave unlike the others was in the ground and was just one big room.
Remus shivered as he stepped into the cave, "We're going to need some warming charms or something"
"Already on it", Fenrir said, nodding to the center of the room. There was a fire going and Harry, Hermione, and Draco sat around it, "I'll take this and you can start on some warming charms," Fenrir finished, taking the deer from Remus and heading outside to skin it.
Fenrir, Remus, Harry, Draco, and Hermione sat around a fire, Remus had caught and killed the deer that the three had tracked down and was now cooking it over the fire. After the deer was cooked, Remus passed portions to everyone and Draco, Harry and Hermione looked at Fenrir expectedly.
Fenrir chuckled, "You guys get to have the first bite"
"Really?" Draco asked, eyes widened, along with Hermione and Harry's, in shock.
Fenrir nodded, "The person who hunted the food gets to eat first"
Harry's eyebrows scrunched together, "But Remus killed the deer, shouldn't he eat first"
"I couldn't have killed it if you three hadn't found it, so you get to eat first"
Harry accepted Remus's explanation with a shrug and looked over to Hermione and Draco biting into his piece of meat at the same time that they did.
Fenrir and Remus both clapped, "At this rate you'll be killing your first kill in no time," Fenrir said as he bit into his portion of the meal.
"Really?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, after a few-"
Fenrir was interrupted as a silver phoenix flew into the room. "Remus, you're needed at headquarters immediately," it said before it faded away.
"What was that?" Hermione asked
"A patronus," Fenrir responded, "it's a spell that protects against dark creatures and can be used to send messages. Why is it asking you to go somewhere, Remus?"
"That's Dumbledore's patronus. I think he's gathering the Order together"
"For?" Fenrir prompted
"I don't know," Remus shrugged, "It must be an emergency". Remus got up, wrapping his meal up and dusting off his pants. "I'll go and check."
"When will you be back?," Hermione asked.
"I don't know"
"To take us to the park?" Harry injected.
"I don't know," Remus said as he grabbed a backpack and filled it with clothes, "I'll try to be back so soon as possible". Remus jogged out of the cave and there was a loud crack as he apperated away. The four remaining in the cave looked at each other, before Fenrir picked up what was left of Remus's food.
"Who what's seconds?"
There goes another chapter that I hope you all enjoyed. Thanks for reading and all that. See your writing next time.
