Chapter Two: 12 Grimmauld Place
On the drive to 12 Grimmauld place harry asked Moody " why did you decide to come over so quick? why didnt you write me first?"
" Potter of all people you should know that the post can be intercepted and I didnt want you to give anyone warning of me coming."
"Why wouldnt you want me to warn anyone if you were coming?" Harry asked low loking afraid. " You misunderstand me I did not want you to tell your Uncle that i would be coming, we are going to meet Mr. Tibbles on the way to the order."
"Who is Mr Tibbles?"
"you never actually met him but you saw him once last year when you were hiding behind the shrubbery under the window."
"I dont remember seeing anyone besides all the people looking through the windows."
" he was the cat running under the car and he was the one who warned the Squib Mrs. Figg about the dementor attack."
" Oh, so where is he now?"
" at the park down the road....ah there he is now."
Harry looked in the direction moody was looking but only saw a brick wall.
"Is he on the other side of the wall?"
" yes."
They then turned right and Harry saw a black and orange cat sitting just under the slide. Moody stopped the car, got out and opened the back door
and the pretended to be looking for something as mr. Tibbles ran and jumped in the back seat.
Moody closed the back door got back in the driver seat and began to drive again. After they got a few blocks down the road Moody asked
" Have you seen anything odd?"
Mr. Tibbles then turnedBack to his human form. To Harry's amazement mr Tibbles looked no more than 25 years old.
"No, But Minerva came by and told me you arrived un noticed." said Mr. Tibbles in his young but deepened voice.
"Mr. Potter it is nice to have finally met you."
" Oh..same to you,er um how long have you actually been following me?"
" well for about 4 years really. I went to talk to Dumbledore after i had finished school to talk to him about a job, but instead he told me to move in with
Mrs Figg and pretend to be her pet cat and he would pay for that instead. I thought it was crazy at first but he told me how important it was and that i couldnt do any magic unless they came after Mrs. Figg."
" Umm... why would you not have to do any magic?"
" well you will have to ask Dumbledore that when we arrive at the orderin a few minutes."
Harry couldnt think of any reason that would make any sense of why Mr. Tibbles couldnt use magic. Harry thought " what if i was attacked... wait i was attacked last year and the only person to show up was Mrs. Figg."
8 Minutes later they were a few blocks from 12 Grimmauld Place and they had stopped. Harry looked around and realized that there were people standing where the house would stand if it were not invisible.
" Whats going on? Who are those people?"
" They are the neighbors they are having a bar que." Growled Moody
" Um.. actually its a Bar-BQue." Harry sais smiling.
" Muggles and their celebrations, anything to get drunk."
Harry thought of asking him what he carried in his hip flask but thought better to keep quiet.
" now what?" Harry asked.
" We are going to go in this house (Moody pointed to his right) and go into Emmeline Vance's house and go to Grimmauld Place by Floo powder."
" I didnt know Emmeline Vance lived here."
" Hush boy its time to go." Growled Moody.
they got out of the car and knocked on the door of Mrs. Vance's house. When she opened she rushed them in closed the door and peered through the
drapes of the glass windows on the door. When she turned around she looked the same as she had the year before when when everyone came to rescue
him from his uncle's, stately and wore the same shawl around her hair.
" Well I ges its time to get moving!" she said in a hurried high pitched voice.
they then moved to the siting room where the large fireplace stood. there were large rock ravens on each side of the fireplace and a cage near the window
with a giant raven inside.
" You first Boy. Get a move on." moody growled.
Harry reached for the pot of floo powder Mrs. Vance was now handing him, stepped inside and clearly and loudly said" Number 12 Grimmauld Place!!"
Green flames surrounded him and he began to spin very fast. when he slowed down he stuck his arms straight out to either side to brace himself so he wouldnt fall over. A large, tall black man reached in and took him by the arm.
" Kingsley Shackelbolt?" Harry asked.
" Hello mr. Potter." Kingsley said in his slow deep voice. " Come with me."
Harry the followed him into the kitchen where he saw Tonks, Bill, Fred, George, Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, Mundungus, Hestia Jones, Sturgis Podmore, Dedalus Diggle, Elphius Doge, Professor Lupin, Snape, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Professor Mcgonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Binns, Professor Flitwick, Cornelius Fudge, Dawlish, Williamson, Professor Trelawney, Dumbledore and to Harry's astonishment Percy.
Everyone turned around and started welcoming Harry as Moody and Mr. Tibbles walked in. Harry and Ron walked up to harry and ushered him to a secluded corner of the kitchen.
" Whats going on here, why has everyone come?"
" Well it seems that Sirius made out a will but no one knows how he did it. dumbledore told Mrs weasley about it yesterday and asked her to send out the proper invitations." Hermione finished quickly.
"How......Why....When...UURRGGGHHH!!!!"
DUMBLEDORE!!!
Everyone got quiet and looked between Harry and Dumbledore.
"Everyone have A seat." said dumbledore
And with a wave of his wand the big table broke up into several smaller ones. While everone seated and looked at Dumbledore, Harry walked up to Dumbledore and started to speak but Dumbledore raised a hand toward harry to silence him and conjured a chair and asked him to sit down.
" I will tell you along with everyone, thats why we are all here."
Harry sat beside Dumbledore and stared while looking frustrated.
