124. Raining and Levels

**Harry's POV**

Once the elevator let out a ding, Hermione said "George. This is you."

"The handsome one first. Brilliant" George let out a sigh and stepped out.

"Good luck, Gred" Fred said.

"Thanks, Forge. Load of luck to all you lot" George said and took a step and just before the elevator door could close, a man stopped it.

"Cattermole," He said, looking at Ron. "It's still raining inside my office. That's two days now."

"Have you tried an umbrella?" Ron asked.

"You do realize I'm going downstairs, don't you, Cattermole?" The man asked.

"That's Yaxley" Fred whispered quietly.

"Downstairs?" Ron asked.

"To interrogate your wife. Now, if my wife's blood status were in doubt, and the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement needed a job, I think I might just make that a priority. You have one hour" Yaxely said and he turned and walked away.

The door then closed and Ron pressed a button quickly.

George then watched us and then left himself.

"Oh, my God. What am I gonna do? My wife's all alone downstairs" Ron said hesitantly.

"Ron, you don't have a wife..." I said.

"Oh, right," Ron said.

"And if you did, Luna would freak" Fred smirked.

"Shut up, Fred. At least now I can tell you and George a part. Not until I forget what you look like and which ones which" Ron said and the door opened once more.

"Level Two" The elevator voice said.

"Ron, this is where Yaxel's office is" Fred said.

"How do I stop the rain?" Ron asked, stepping out.

"Try Finite Incantatem" Hermione said.

"Finite Incantatem. Okay. And if that doesn't work?" Ron asked as the door closed.

Before Hermione could respond, the elevator moved and left Ron looking frightened.

"Level Four; Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures" The elevator voice said.

"Fred," Hermione said.

"Good luck, Mate" I said to him.

"Thanks. To yourselves, as well" He said and he stepped out.

"Be careful, Fred," Hermione said.

"Don't worry, Granger. I'm a beater. I can handle this" Fred smiled and the elevator closed and we were out of Level Four.

Once again, the elevator said "Level One, Minister of Magic and Support."

"If we don't locate Umbridge within the hour, we go find the twins and Ron and come back another day. Deal?" I asked Hermione.

"Yes" she said and the elevator opened.

Dolores Umbridge, who was waiting in front of us, had said "Ah, Mafalda. Travers sent you, did he? Good, we'll go straight down."

Umbridge entered the elevator and I couldn't move a muscle.

"Albert, aren't you getting out?" Umbridge asked.

I thought for a second and I stepped out and watched Hermione leave with Umbridge.

Poor Hermione.
