Harry Potter and the Missing Piece part 19
"What happened here? Are you two alright?" asked a worried Sirius as he and Remus caught up.
"Yeah, we're all fine." Harry
said, holding his scar. "Why does this thing have to hurt every time he's near?
And it's been hurting a lot now, I guess he's feeling really murderous right
now. Something we should tell Dumbledore about." Just then, Natalie grabbed his
shoulder.
"Harry, if Pettigrew was taking
the potion, where's the real Ron?"
"I don't know. I could check the
Chamber of Secrets. Kind of a strange hiding place, though."
"Harry, where did Dumbledore put
the Sorceror's Stone in your first year? We can check there too," said Remus.
"Either way, we have to tell
Dumbledore. We need to find him," said Sirius.
"Quidditch try-outs are today!
We'd be letting all of the Gryffindors down if we didn't find him," said
Natalie.
"That isn't much of a problem,
though, I can pick the teams, Fred and George and the rest of the team can
help, it wouldn't be too hard," said Harry. They ran up to the castle, and told
Dumbledore.
"Well, check the Chamber of
Secrets, and I shall check where the Sorceror's Stone was hidden. If he isn't
in either places, I will conduct a search for him," said Dumbledore, and he ran
out of the door.
"Harry," said Sirius quickly,
"who has the Marauders Map?"
"I do, Dumbledore sent it to me
over the summer. He said only to use it if I need to."
"So, use the map! Everything is
on there except for the Chamber of Secrets, which we should add."
"Ok," said Harry, as he pulled
out the map and handed it to Sirius, "You do it, you probably haven't touched
the map in years."
"Alright. I solemnly swear that
I am up to no good.."
"Ok, well, it looks like he is,
I don't believe it," said Sirius, blinking, then looking again.
"Where? Where is he?" said
Harry, anxiously.
"Well, Snape hasn't been here,
he's locked up in Snape's office."
"Oh, what torture!" said
Natalie, laughing.
"I would laugh too if this was
an appropriate time to laugh, but right now we have to get to Snape's office,"
said Harry, glancing back at the map.
"Allow me," said Sirius,
grabbing the map. "Now, if I'm right, we should be able too... WAIT! Harry, go
get you're invisibility cloak, we're gonna need it, turns out Ron isn't alone."
On the map, there was a figure moving towards the dungeons.
"Wormtail. I knew it, he needs
more of that potion," said Remus, staring at the map.
"Well, don't just stand there,
let's GO!" yelled Natalie.
