AN; if owned Harry Potter I wouldn't be using this crud computer.
Harry and the beginning of the end. Chapter 22. Betrayal
*-----------------------*### flash back.
"Potter! What are you doing?"
Harry turned. Madam Pomfrey was standing behind him. She looked sufficiently shocked, but very triumphant.
"I-"
The rest was a blur. He had been marched to Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore had not been in residence. They had then proceeded to McGonagall's, with the same result. Snape had been next in line. To Harry's horror, the potions teacher was in residence, and lost no time in expelling Harry for both past and present misdemeanours. On the way back up to the hospital wing, Harry had ducked away from Madame Pomfrey and hidden. She had run past, looking for him and he had jumped out a window, but only after changing into his Phoenix shape.
*-------------------------*### end flash back.
He had flown for hours before landing, and was now lying in the middle of a field somewhere in his human form, sleeping. And dreaming.
----------------------
Voldemort was in the ministry of magic. Mr Weasley was standing there opposite him, along with Tonks, Moody, Snape, Kingsley, and a couple others. Voldemort was laughing, and telling them something. Whatever he said made the group of Order personnel go pale. The Dark Lord laughed again.
-----------------------
A wing brushed his cheek just before dawn. He started up, only to freeze in shock when he spied Hedwig.
"Hedwig?"
The owl hooted softly and hopped a couple of meters away, unfolded her wings, folded them, and hopped back. She repeated this until Harry said, "You want me to follow you?"
The owl hooted again, and spread her wings. Harry warned her, "I don't want to go back to Hogwarts until Dumbledore's there." The owl hooted scornfully as if she wouldn't make him. Harry changed to his phoenix shape and took to the air.
Three hours later, Harry began to recognize his surroundings. He was in the area surrounding London. Harry tried to get Hedwig's attention, but the owl was ignoring him except for a backward glance every now and then.
They landed on a roof somewhere. Hedwig hopped up and down until Harry changed into a human, and then walked her funny owlish walk to the edge of the roof and spread one wing until she was effectively pointing at an old telephone box.
Harry recognized the box immediately, and swallowed, remembering his dream, and, more importantly what had happened last time he had visited the ministry.
"Are you sure?" he asked his owl, who hooted softly.
"You're sure. Rats."
He climbed down (it was a one story business block, if such a thing exists in London.).
The voice asked him what he was doing, and he told it, rather wearily that he was investigating. He received a tag with his name and 'investigator of woes' written on it.
The lift carried him to the reception, and Harry thought it rather odd that there were no guards, especially considering what had happened last year.
He wandered around a little, horrified at the silence, Hedwig riding silently on his shoulder, giving his ear a nip every now and then.
Suddenly the silence was shattered by bellowing. The ground shook and Harry ducked instinctively. The noise was coming from the room at the end of the corridor. Harry, unnerved by the continual shouting and cracking and booming ducked sideways into the shadows by one of the older suits of armour, Hedwig wobbling on his shoulder. To his surprise there was a staircase in the shadows there. He saw flashes at the top and pulled out his wand. It seemed like every dream he had lately had a purpose.
AN; I know, I'm evil. Review and I'll let you know what happens next, as well as the bonus fact that there is only two (three at the most) chapters left. ^_^. Then the sequel. Hehe. TELL ME IF U WANT A SEQUEL!!!!
