Chapter 5
Mysteries are found
Harry didn't like what he was he hearing. At dinner, he asked Victoria and Jason to visit his office after dinner. Harry, was cautious about the news he heard. He had owled his granddaughter, Sarah, an auror, to see if she could provide any information about the rumors he had been hearing.
Harry told Victoria and Jason about the letters the minister and his daughter had sent them. Jason wanted to tell George, the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Harry, wasn't so sure.
"he looks stressed and I don't want to give more to do if he is already stressed" Harry interjected
"but he's the best person to handle it" Jason replied
"I may be old, Jason, but I still have some tricks up my sleeve" Harry Joked
"I meant no disrespect professor"
"Of course not Jason. I need you to do me a favor. Go to London and meet with Sarah McGeorge. Mention that I sent you and ask her if she can give us any information. We need to know all we can and I don't want to leave unless it is absolutely necessary."
"That's the best idea" Victoria chimed in.
They left and Potter looked up to Dumbledore's portrait. I wish you could help me Professor, Harry thought to himself. At this moment he noticed that Snape's Portrait was next to Dumbledore's and making an angry face at Harry. Harry laughed at this, some things never change he thought. Just then Harry thought that perhaps it was time to check out the Dungeons. As he walked out, students continued to look upon Harry with awes and quieted down as he walked by. Teachers often did the same. Samantha walked by at this time and said, "Where are you off to headmaster?" Harry told that he was just out of a stroll. He admired how casual the Americans were. They didn't let relations or idea of hierarchy get in the way of their personalities. When Harry reached the basement, he noticed that George had moved in to Snape's old office and classroom in the Dungeon. Harry walked out the basement. He definitely felt a stronger presence of evil in the basement. Harry, played it off to the character of Slytherin. That house always had a bit more of the Dark Arts than any other house.
Harry returned to his office. He didn't know what to do. Harry owled his grandson William, who was even more of a bookworm than Hermione had been, which is why he runs a bookstore in London. Harry thought that William might have heard something or would be able to explain it better than Harry would. Harry thought he had never been book smart like Hermione or William, but he his instincts were telling to keep his eye on Slytherin.
The Dungeon
"Was he snooping around?" a woman said
"Yes," a man replied "we better move soon. Potter may be more powerful than we guessed"
"I doubt, it, but he certainly may be not as dumb as we thought"
"What do we do now?" the man asked
"We have to strike soon, we must weaken him so he doesn't find us"
"but how"
"get where it hurts….with one of the Unforgivable Curses" she said
