Harry Potter and the Attack of the Dark Lord Chapter 6: Locked Out, a harry potter fanfic

Chapter VI: Locked Out.

'Its kind of weird to see people arrive on the Hogwarts Express, isn't it' said Ron.

'Yeah, at least we won't see Malfoy until tomorrow, I can't wait 'till he finds out that Professor Snape hasn't come back!'

'Don't you want to see the First years come?' asked Hermione, The first years traditionally crossed the Hogwarts lake with Hagrid.

'Yeah, I wonder if someone will fall in again?' The three of them walked over to the huge window in the boardroom, although it was this large Harry assumed that it couldn't be seen, and it was probable that this window didn't even exist, and they saw the first sign of ripples on the water.

'Hey! Here comes the first boat!' said Ron, excitedly, and Harry got out the Omnioculars that he bought at the Quidditch World Cup.

'Huh? That's not Hagrid! It's a girl!' yelled Harry,

'Who is it, Harry?' asked Hermione, as Harry began to zoom in on the boat, and although the face was familiar, he couldn't place it,

'She looks familiar, Ron, have a look.' He handed the Omnioculars to Ron, and the answer came out instantly,

'Fleur!'

'Let me see!' Harry snatched the Omnioculars back and gazed back in, and there was no doubt about it, the Girl in the first boat was Fleur Delacor formerly of Beauxbatons Academy, and was dead last in the ill-fated Triwizard Tournament one year ago, 'I wonder what she's doing here? Maybe she's got a job here, Professor!'

'Yes, Harry,' said Dumbledore, and Harry was still wondering why he hadn't asked this earlier,

'Where's Hagrid?'

'I thought you'd never ask! Hagrid is off with Olympe Maxime sending envoys to the giants. Fleur is going to be our temporary Gamekeeper.'

'Oh. Is Fleur taking Care of Magical Creatures as well?'

'Yes. I trust she will be a good teacher, Hagrid has asked me to personally deliver all his Correspondence.'

The entire of the Order of Phoenix, excluding Ron and Hermione, were waiting at the gates to Hogwarts in metallic Gold robes at six o'clock and there was no sign of Snape or the Dementors. Half an hour passed when muffled screams came from the great hall when the magnified voice of Professor McGonagall boomed throughout the grounds: 'ALBUS! LUCIUS MALFOY! GREAT HALL!'

'I should have known that Voldemort would suspect Snape,' mumbled Dumbledore

***

'Master, did the plan work?'

'Yes, I never expected that you would be this competent,'

'Members of the Order can now no longer enter the castle, and our Faithful Death Eater is preparing to defeat you-know-who.'

***

'Professor, I know of a secret way into the castle,' said Harry

'Please tell me, Harry.' Dumbledore seemed anxious,

'Remeus and Sirius know of it, so it's alright for them to listen.'

'Okay, Harry, where is it, but be quiet, I suspect that there is a spy in the order.'

'It's in Honeydukes' Cellar.'

'Good, Harry, would you clear passage to the cellar? Sirius, Remeus, you perform blinding hexes on the others, and then bind yourselves to them. Sirius, take Figg. Remeus, take Fletcher. I'll take Weasley.' Harry walked into the village and into Honeydukes.

'Harry! What are you doing down here?'

'I need free access into your cellar, Dumbledore's orders.' Clearly the keeper at the counter was puzzled by this request.

'Okay, if it's on Dumbledore's orders.' And she unlocked the door to the cellar. Harry ran straight back to Dumbledore,

'She says we have to be quick, though,' Dumbledore laughed. And they all went into Honeydukes.

'Hello, Professor,' It was the same keeper, and the Order went into the basement. Harry quickly located the trapdoor and opened it. They all walked into the passage and Harry got out his wand and muttered 'Lumos' and they all continued.

It was about half way when Dumbledore asked 'Where does this passage end up?'

'The witches hump on the third floor.'

'Very good, is there a password?'

'Yes. You tap it and say dissendium.' As Harry said this, he did the same, and the hole opened.

'Harry, we must keep up appearances. We must all sleep in the order dormitories, I will send letters to Ron and Hermione, and they will have to leave school temporarily.' Figg and Fletcher will be put in cells of our prison in this dimension.

***

Next morning a letter from Snape came.

Voldemort seems to be tricking me. There is still a faithful death eater in the vicinity of Hogwarts.

Snape

Harry thought it might be worth using the revealing spell again, and when he did, he discovered 'L. E.' Harry could only assume that the 'E' was a malformed 'B' which would make the initials of Lavender Brown, but that couldn't be right, could it?

A/N: Seamus Finnigan to Lavender Brown! Who is the faithful Death Eater? Will this be only the Second dark wizard from Gryffindor in history? Wait and find out!
