Chapter Three
Summer at Grimmuald Place
The Weasley's, Hermione, Tonks and Lupin arrived at Number Twelve, Grimmuald Place two weeks before the Funeral of Sirius Black to find Harry, Moody, Kingsley and Mundugus already there and setting up. Kreacher didn't enjoy having more company, and kept cursing at them under his breath.
Snape arrived at Grimmuald Place the day after the Weasley's, he looked as sour as ever and said nothing to Harry, Hermione or Ron, and instead only spoke to Moody and Lupin briefly, then he departed to a guest room. It was clear that Snape didn't want to be here for the funeral, but Dumbledore wanted him here, and Snape didn't say no to Dumbledore.
Harry was again in a depression, and was having a hard time living in Sirius' house, after what happened. Hermione and Ron's non-verbal comprimise not to argue over Krum extended to Grimmual Place, for Harry's sake.
The Boggart cleaning hadn't gone so well, and as they were settling down in their beds for the first night, a six foot spider popped out of the closet, Ron screamed when he saw it, but Harry (Guessing what it was) Quickly used the Riddikulus spell and destroyed it. He had been taken by a wild impulse to want to first allow it to become his worst fear, which, had always been a Dementor, Harry wondered if the fear was still the same...
Hermione and Ginny also ran into one, and also killed it. But for several days afteword Ginny and Hermione would whisper to each other and leave the boys out of it. Ron was upset, and suspected that it had to do with one of their fears, but they weren't telling.
The house didn't have any "Sit down" meals for the entire time, until the day before the funeral when everyone, (Yes, even Snape) was at the dinner table. There was chatting, Fred and George were busy showing some of their newest items (Hurricane in a jar, just open lid and let the wind blow!) to Lupin, who looked as if reliving his days at Hogwarts, and then chatted with the boys about how he helped make the Maurader's Map. Fred and George, upon learning that Lupin was the "Moony" talked of on the Map, both stood and gave him long, deep bows and gave his a round of applause.
Moody and Tonks were sitting across from Harry and were sharing with him some more Auror stories. Hermione and Ron were listening intently, while Ginny was busy in a discussion with Bill about Quidditch.
"Well, now that Umbridge is gone I reckon Harry can play again, so I might try out for chaser."
"Yeah, that Umbridge woman, I didn't like her." Bill shook his head. "I'm glade she wasn't there when I was."
Ron added a few comments about Umbridge that made Hermione scowl, but made Fred and George give him the same bow they did Lupin. Which only seamed to make Hermione even more angry. Snape, though remaining quiet the entire meal, did look almost as if he agreed with Ron's comments, but said nothing.
Arthur was finishing his pumpkin juice when Mrs. Weasley surprised him.
"Arthur dear?"
"Yes Molly?"
"I, invited someone else here. I thought maybe it would be better if he waiting till after you've eaten."
Mr. Weasley's face suddenly changed from a happy, after dinner smile, to a frown. Molly pointed toward the stairs, and with reluctance, Mr. Weasley started toward his room. Everyone stopped talking and attempted to listen, and Moody's magical eye followed Arthur through the walls.
"Invinting Percy was a mistake." Moody said.
"You invited Percy mum?" Bill said at once.
"You're father needs to talk to him."
"He's a git mum!" Ron burst out.
"Ronald Weasley!"
"He is!"
Mad-Eye held up a hand for silence, apparently Arthur had reached the room. Moody watched through the wall with the utmost attention, and everyone looked to him wondering what was going on. Soon no one had to, however, because a loud BANG told everyone what happened. Percy came running down the stairs, all diginity forgotten as he ran curisng out of the house. Arthur followed him shouting things that made Fred and George begin to give him a bow, until Molly hushed them.
Molly tried to talk to him, but he ignore her and went to his bedroom, slamming the door. The dinner went downhill from there, and everyone seamed to become very gloomy. (Except Snape, who looked smug)
After dinner everyone went back to their room, Ron looked a bit upset about Percy and his dad, and was complaining as he, Harry and Hermione walked toward the bedrooms.
"I can't believe it, you know, I mean mum wants to trust Percy again, but dad--"
"Ron, shut up." Harry said irratble. Ron looked as if he was going to say something, but Hermione elbowed him hard. Ron let out a yelp, Harry didn't seam to care and went back to his room, leaving them in the hall.
"'Mione!" He cried in pain. "What the hell was that for?"
"Ron Weasley you jerk!"
"What did I do?"
"Can't you see that Harry's upset?"
"Why, it's not his family that's fighting--"
"Ron." Hermione said nerveously. "His family is dead. He's obviosly not over Sirius, God, you boys are such idiots." She walked off back to her room, and Ron stood in the hall, looking flabberghasted.
Harry lie away in bed, looking at the wall. The funeral was tomorrow.
********* Again, short, I know. But more coming soon!
