Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix- Chapter 6
As the party walked up the marble steps heading for Gryffindor Tower, after a wonderful afternoon of flying, they were intercepted by-
"Professor Snape." Harry said dully.
"Potter, Granger, Weasley." Snape nodded to them coolly before turning to Remus and Sirius.
"Albus has called an emergency-" He cut off abruptly eyeing the trio, "Albus wants to see us in his office immediately." He turned on his heel and walked away rapidly. Sirius was glaring at his retreating back with a look of pure hatred on his face.
"In that case, let's go Remus." He said, his eyes on the cold stone where Snape had disappeared around the corner.
"But what about Harry?" Remus asked, motioning towards where Harry, Ron and Hermione stood. Sirius' eyes flickered to them and paused.
"Well," His eyes travelled up the stairs; "We're almost at the tower now. And Snape said it was important, an emergency. I'm sure he'll be fine, so close, Ron and Hermione are with him too. Do you think you'll be okay on your own?" Harry gave Sirius a withering look.
"Yes, I think we are perfectly capable of walking up the stairs, giving the password and going inside, don't you?" He asked coolly turning to Ron and Hermione. They both nodded.
"Harry, you know what I mean. Fine, I'll see you later then." Sirius and Remus turned and walked swiftly down the hall. Harry sighed and followed Ron up towards the Tower. He hadn't meant to make Sirius angry.
"What kind of emergency do you think it is?" Asked Ron, thoughtfully. Harry shrugged; it probably was something like making a new "protection" timetable for Harry. Harry frowned to himself and fumed silently, he was furious that they insisted on treating him like a child. Wasn't he, after all, the Boy Who Lived? He had beat Voldemort, is his past and his present form, three times, hadn't he? Hadn't he shown everyone that he could take care of himself?
"Don't blame them, Harry. They're only looking out for you. They care about you and don't want to see you hurt, or worse. Especially Sirius, he IS your godfather and just wants you to be safe." Hermione's voice cut through his thoughts as though she had read his mind. Harry gave her a sideways look as Ron gave the password to the Tower (Quidditch finals) and sighed, running his hands through his already untidy hair. He flopped down on one of the chairs in front of the fire.
"I know, I know. I'm not really angry with them, but I feel so frustrated." He gave a small laugh, "Can you see me at the end of the year? I'll be absolutely mad!"
"But you'll be safe." Ron and Hermione said together. Harry smiled at them.
"Yeah, we'll all be safe." He shot a look at Hermione who nodded absently, deep in thought.
"What do you think they're doing with Professor Dumbledore?" She asked softly. Harry and Ron shrugged. Suddenly Harry had the urge to tell them everything Mrs. Figg had told him on the train. When he finished both Ron and Hermione were looking surprised.
"She knew your parents?" Ron asked at the same time Hermione asked, "Your dad was part of something and she wouldn't tell you what?" Harry nodded to both of them.
"This is fishy." Hermione pondered. Harry nodded.
"Mrs. Figg told me that Dumbledore would want to tell me about this "thing"."
"Well, why don't we check it out." Hermione asked casually. Ron and Harry both stared at her in shock.
"I think that we've had a bad influence on her!" Ron commented. Harry nodded in agreement.
"Well, you said you wonder what this is, so get your Invisibility cloak and lets go!" Hermione watched them impatiently. There was no way Harry was turning down an adventure so he whirled around and tore up the stairs to his room. He pulled the beautiful, flowing cloak, which had once belonged to James, Harry's dad, out of his trunk. He carried it downstairs marvelling at Hermione's new attitude to breaking rules. Then again, he thought, school hasn't started so we technically wont be breaking any rules. Except for the promise you made to Dumbledore, Sirius and Remus, a nasty little voice inside his head informed him. He quickly pushed that thought out of his head and hurried over to where the others stood. Harry and Hermione put the cloak on while Ron opened the portrait for them and walked down the hall. As soon as they turned the corner Ron hid under it too and they proceeded to Dumbledore's office. Once at the stone gargoyle Harry muttered, "Sherbet Lemon" and the gargoyle sprung to the side. Silently they stepped onto the moving stairs together. At the landing they stopped to listen. What they heard surprised them. It sounded as though there were many people in the room. Harry heard some voices that he couldn't place. Then they heard something that made them snap to attention at once and caused Hermione to gasp a loud.
