Chapter Five

At the Burrow

Harry found himself in the middle of the Weasley's kitchen with the Dursleys next to him. Max appeared at his side.
"Aunt Molly? Uncle Arthur? Anyone here?" Max yelled.
"Max and Harry! Is that you? They're here everyone!" Molly exclaimed.
A couple of years ago Harry had found out about being related to the Weasleys.
There was a thundering overhead. One second later the Weasleys and Hermione were standing in front of the two Potters and the Dursleys. Harry noticed that even Bill and Charlie were there.
"Oy, why did you bring them?" Ron asked.
"Why did you come here? We were going to get you?" Arthur said.
"Happy Birthday, Harry! Happy Birthday, Max!" they all yelled.
"You haven't left yet? The Muggle way wouldn't let you get to Surrey fast enough to get us now," Harry observed.
"Thank you for the Happy Birthday," Max said while all the while glaring meaningfully at Harry.
"I owled Ron back. I told him it would be far too risky for everyone, to use the Muggle way. They were going to pick us up by Portkey," Max told Harry. "I brought them," she pointed at the Dursleys, "because of Death Eaters. I was hoping, praying that you hadn't left yet. I wanted to warn you."
"Death Eaters?" the Weasleys and Hermione chorused.
"I sounded the alarm to Arabella, Mundungus, Mundugus's team, Tonks, Remus, Sirius, and whoever was at Arabella's," Max said. She was trying to calm everyone down.
"Good," Mr. Weasley said.
"How do you know they were Death Watch-a-ma-callits?" Uncle Vernon asked.
"Good question Max," Harry questioned with a superior and horrified look on his face. "What's the answer? This is a hard question to answer now isn't it? Your CO."
"I'd recognize Lucius Malfoy's voice any where. Plus, remember there's a window in the family room. I saw someone with a silver hand walk up to the door," Max said. "That was a dead giveaway. Not one other person in the world can do the silver formations besides Tom and myself. It had to be Wormtail."
"Wormtail?" asked Fred.
"As in the Marauder, Wormtail?" asked George. "Explain Max."
"Peter Pettigrew is Wormtail. He was actually my parents' secret- keeper. He is a Death Eater. He framed Sirius." Max explained to a silent table. They had all sat down. "I'm guessing you want to know who the other Marauders are. I know you also want the whole story about the secret- keeper."
"What about us? We're not staying here with you freaks," exclaimed Dudley.
"Fine then," Max snapped. "You're welcome for your lives."
Max took her wand out and pointed it towards the door. She must have decided against doing something evil. She had sighed and pointed it towards the ground near the Dursleys. They panicked and started squealing.
Dudley was screaming his lungs off.
"Dudley, if you don't stop yelling I'll give you a real reason to scream. A taste of the Cruciatus Curse would do it." Max said. She looked extremely annoyed.
"That's forbidden in your world," Dudley said.
"You just admitted to overhearing our conversation the other night. God you are so dense." Max yelled in frustration. "These days it is really dangerous to eavesdrop."
Max flicked her wand towards the door again. Suitcases appeared next to the Dursleys.
"Go live with Marge," she screamed. "I can't believe I, Max Potter, could be related to such ungrateful and besides that, the worst Muggles in the world."
With a pop, the Dursleys were gone along with their suitcases.
"Now about the Marauders. Moony is Remus Lupin. You know him as Professor Lupin. No comments yet. You already know who Wormtail is, so Padfoot is Sirius Black and our father was Prongs." Max said. She then explained the secret- keeper deal. Harry thought that Max had thought this through. Max told the whole story.
"So that's what happened."
"Never thought it was Black."
"Why don't you look surprised Ron? Or you Hermione?" Bill asked as both Ron and Hermione blushed crimson.
"We already knew all of this. In third year this is the story that was told to us by Professor Lupin in the Shrieking Shack," Hermione said. Ron just nodded.
It was silent for a little while. Harry knew everyone was thinking about that was just said.
Talk soon started again. It was all tips and questions about apparating. Harry already knew everything that was being said. He started to doze off just before they were sent to bed.
Harry walked up the stairs. He knew that Max was going to stay up. He collapsed into the bed that was set for him in Ron's room. They said goodnight to each other.
The last thing Harry thought about that night before he fell asleep was his godfather's attempted visit earlier that summer.
