Chapter 2 - The new Order Headquarters
Sorry about my past chapter, bear with me this is my 1st fic so I'll try to pick the quality up as I go along.
Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter this wouldn't be fan fiction you Fing idiot. Anyway contact me on AIM at Be0t if you would like to Beta. This will be posted on my site soon once I buy my domain and set it up with Dream weaver. If you would like me to host talk to me on AIM. All right I'm going to need you to vote on these topics You can review if you want
While spending time with Tonks he had learned a lot about her.
She is only 19, spent 2 years as an trainee auror and with Voldemort returning to power so she had been made a full time auror instead of the traditional 3 years. He contemplated everything she had done for him as he drifted off to sleep...
Harry awoke to a crash.
"Tonks?" he yelled
"Yes?" He heard her call back distantly.
"Well have you had breakfast?"
"No, I can make some if you'd like?" then hastily added "We do need to paint today though so it would only be a light snack, the fumes make me sick"
Feeling quite guilty he replied "No thanks, what room should I work on?"
For two weeks Tonks had been trying anything to make him happy, he wasn't really happy but liked the fact she cared.
He also liked the fact she didn't baby him then remembering his arrangement with Dumbledore reminded Tonks downstairs
"Hey, when do I have to see the new headquarters" then seeing her hurt look very quickly and softly added "I just mean I need to teach Mark and Dudley for 2 days a week and it's been 2 weeks"
"Oh"
"I mean I like it here and"
"It's ok I know" Despite acting brightly she cheered up a lot "I can ask Dumbledore tonight at the meeting, oh and I'll get your post"
"My post?"
"Yes it's parchment with letters on"
"I know that but what about it?!" Harry exuberated.
"We had to screen it, with you know who back there's no telling what hex could be inside one"
"Oh ok"
For the remainder of the day he worked on painting the top floor corridor bright orange (Tonks had bright colours everywhere Orange, Red, pink just like her hair) while Tonks was at headquarters.
At around 11:30 he heard a crash from below defining Tonks returning.
"Hey Tonks"
"Wotcher Harry, umm ok here's your post" She greeted handing over a stack of letters. "Also everyone from the order says hello, well everyone except Snape"
"I'd be more worried that he did say anything nice to me" He added
While looking through his post he recognised the was seal with a seal of the Ministry of Magic, curiously he opened it and distantly got worried.
After figuring out he didn't care what his future brings and highly doubted being alive to have a future hastily tour the letter open.
Figuring this scores could reflect in helping him with the prophecy.
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approches...
Born to those who have thrice defied him,
Born as the seventh month dies...
And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal,
But he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...
And either must die at the hand of the other
For neither can live while the other survives...
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."

Harry Sorry about last year hope there's no hard feelings Cornelius Fudge
Harry was shocked; he wondered what his real results were but found he didn't care. He deserved it, for all last year he felt he deserved it so therefore finished the first letter.
We are pleased to inform you that the following courses are available.

He quickly marked Potions DADA Transfiguration and charms. "Hmm Tonks what other subjects should I take?"
"Animagus looks good, but you should take Legilimens and Occlumens"
"Yes" Harry replied while marking them. "I recon I should take Duelling and Curses, Hexes, and Jinxes" Then marked them "Harry"
"Mmm?"
"You need to get ready, we have to leave"
"Oh right" then remembering it was late "Hmm Tonks?" "Yes" Sounding quite impatient
"It is sorta late"
"It is tomorrow"
With a look at the clock he could see she was right it was pointing to 12:52 PM "Ok I'll be down in 10 minutes"
15 minutes later he appeared downstairs to find an old shoe with a piece of parchment Hmm curiously he picked the boot up to remove the parchment but got the unpleasant pulling of the navel that was associated with a portkey.
He landed in an dirty alleyway that smelled remotely like onions.
Panic took him as he realised he was in a dark ally alone with a powerful wizard trying to kill him.
Suddenly he heard a trash can being knocked over.
"Harry" He heard Tonks voice answer from the general direction of the fallen can "Yes, where are you?"
"Here" She said as she stepped out of the shadows and had to stifle a laugh, she had obviously fallen over the trash can and had now got rubbish over her with a very distinctive banana pealing on her shoulder.
"Why are we here?" He managed to get out withought laughing. "We have to take the train to get to headquarters" She whispered and added "Remus should be at the station"
"Ok"
Secretly he didn't want to face Remus because of the guilt that was still there but just under the service, he hoped seeing Remus wouldn't cause it to poke through. Tonks looked him and pointed at a band on an old rocking chair . "Ok Harry you need to wear this on your arm" She said while pulling her own band up her arm.
"Right" He replied rather hesitantly at such a weird request but put it on anyway.
"Where do we go Tonks?"
"Just follow me and be quiet"
Thinking this would be hard for Tonks followed her out of the ally and up the street. At the end of the street they had walked past a shop that was the entrance to the ministry of magic and was positive they had seen a hag arrived at an abandoned warehouse.
"Umm Tonks?".
"Be quiet" She replied with a quiet tone but was firm and laced with nervousness. As they approached the warehouse he noticed it wasn't a warehouse, the old boarded up windows and prison like walls were moulding into a rather obscure elevator.
It was like the old ones, with big black bars but it also had some wire around it.
"Ok Harry this is the way to the station" She answered his inquisitive look with a short reply that left more questions than answered.
"Right..." He trailed off wondering whether to still be quiet or not.
He watched as Tonks as she opened the door with a greyish black key that looked more like a spinney torture device.
"Come on" She said as she pulled him over and into the elevator.
He wondered now if this was Tonks or an impostor.
"Umm Tonks where does this go?" He asked anxiously.
"To the station" She answered as he just noticed a twinkle in her eye that made his heart flutter before she pulled a lever on the side down.
He only had 2 seconds to think "Damn" as the elevator took a plunging dive at rocket speed curve around a few corners go down a bit more then shoot upwards again thrusting him into the cold concrete floor of the elevator.
He could notice Tonks next to him sitting down although she had been doing this for along time which he reminded himself that she probably had.
Just then a cold stern voice that reminded him of McGonagall sounded down. "Welcome to the station have a pleasant ride" That emitted around them like the ministry of magic's elevators.
He followed Tonks out of the elevator while trying to keep a hold of his dinner.
"Ok Harry do not be alarmed about this"
He heard Tonks mutter from the side of her mouth when coming to a standstill.
He observed the scene around them and noticed something about this shocked him.
"Erm Tonks where are the tracks?" He asked starting to get worried.
She didn't answer as Remus approached he had more grey hairs he noticed.
"I was thinking you were going to be late Remus" Tonks asked him completely ignoring Harry's question.
"Hi Professor" Harry managed to choke out really getting a bad feeling about this while staring into the deep black tunnel that had just materialised in front of them that looked ominous with it's blood stains.
"Hello Harry Tonks" He heard Remus from just behind him "The trains going to be here soon"
"But Sir there's no tra...WOAH" He was swept of his feet again this time so fast he could feel the wind against his eyeballs as they started to water but he kept them open as not to see the tunnel around them and realised they were slowing down until SPAT. He had landed into a soft yet strong and sticky invisible barrier and heard Remus next to him say.
"Don't call me Professor Harry I haven't been one for 3 years now"
He had to laugh at this "Don't you think we should exchange pleasantries when we aren't attacked by a barrier?" He replied to the older man grinning.
"It's actually a spider web that we managed to get off some spiders in the forbidden forest" The older man replied to him.
"Well how do we get out?" He replied more comfortably seeing his old professor had actually been god, it was either that or he was relived he wasn't dead yet.
"We wait" Came the reply from Tonks that hadn't talked much from landing in the web and he couldn't blame her.
The web had gotten tangled with her long pink curly hair and forced her face first into the web instead of back first like the two males.
Stifling laughs they noticed 2 people walking down the hallway as they turned the corner he saw that they were wearing long red think robes that looked like they were made out of dragon skin.
"Hello Davis" He heard Remus call out to the right of him.
The one called Davis held out a long black rod over him Remus then Tonks. He then gave the thumbs up to his partner who pressed a button on the side.
"Hello Remus Dumbledore is waiting for you " The one called Davis answered Remus after the silence as Harry, Tonks and Remus dropped down onto the cold hard pavement.
"Thanks Davis" He quickly answered the man as he directed Harry towards a big door at the end of the hallway they had just turned into.
"Orders Orders" He heard Remus command the door.
He figured it must be the password as the big brown doors started to open from the rich black locks, when he looked closely he could see fangs on the clasps.
He was however snapped out of his thoughts from Remus's booming voice that bounced off the walls "Welcome to the entrance of the phoenix!" Then carried on in a quieter voice though it was still strong and firm.
"You Harry Potter have been chosen to join the Order of the Phoenix" At this Fawkes appeared out of a flame "If you agree touch Fawkes and sign this document"
He motioned over to the Brightly coloured scarlet swan sized bird then over to a document with a Phoenix feather quill next to it.
As he approached Fawkes gave a pleasant trill and motioned to stroke him. He stroked Fawkes as he got nearer and started to read the document.
I Harry James Potter agree to the rules of the Phoenix which is to follow the light side in the fight against Voldemort. .
Brief yet highly detailed, in the end he picked up the Phoenix feather quill and signed his name.
Once finished the quill and parchment erupted into flames and Fawkes flew into a fire vortex.
They was replaced with another quill he realised after studying it, it was black with a big Phoenix feather (No doubly from Fawkes's tail) and a pendant of an Phoenix with the initials engraved HJP.
While examining the pendent he hadn't noticed a new door that had been formed leading downwards .
"Come on Harry" Remus said in his normal kind voice that he was used to hearing as he followed Remus and Tonks towards the door.
"Where exactly are we" Harry asked even though he presumed they were in London or close.
His thoughts were confirmed when Tonks replied "London, we are currently next to the lowest level of Gringotts infract I think we are actually in a vault" Casually walking through the black gates that bore a Phoenix engraved mark similar to his pendant but with a lot more details.
"Welcome Harry" He heard and followed the sound of his voice to Dumbledore standing at the end of what he thinks to be the entrance hall.
"We are near Gringotts but these tunnels was built long ago by Vampires craning for the gold" Dumbledore's usual kind voice continued "Come now, we are just about to start the meeting" As he led them to a polished brown door.
The first thing he saw was an extremely large round table that accounted around 30 people.
"This Harry is the ring leaders of the Order" Remus surmised "You are the newest member"
"Now Harry follow me through here, we need to rank you" Dumbledore said putting an arm round his shoulder and leading him into an oval room with and crystal ball with swirling black mist in it then as Dumbledore shut the door he continued.
"Place your finger tips onto the outside but not your thumb"
As Harry reached down he felt the coldness creep over him then he touched the ball he felt a warm sensation sweep over him coming from the tips that felt like the Disillusionment Charm mad-eye had put on him last year.
He looked into it unable to take his eyes from it then a number started to take shape 988 Then the heat went and he looked over to Dumbledore with a look saying "Did I do it right?
"Yes hmm" Dumbledore replied "You are ranked 11" Showing a brass instrument with a red floating marker in some silkily white substance pointing to a rune.
"Lets go start the meeting Harry" Replacing his hand onto his shoulder and pulling him out the oval room and back to the meeting room with the large table.
Now he looked closely on the brown wood was runes Dumbledore asked a elderly witch to move down and conjured another chair that looked like the other rich black wood with blood red silk lining it.
"Harry is the new number 11 rank in the Order!" Dumbledore announced, this followed with whispering and murmurs from the other members some that sounded like "His just a boy" and he must be pretty powerful".
He could distinctly see Bill and Arthur along with a few of the Hogwarts teaching staff, Professor Snape looking as greasy as ever and baring his usual hate filled glare that was aimed at him as he noted with satisfaction he could see he was ranked 13.
Little Flitwick Sitting on his usual stack of pillows so he can see over the table at number 5.
Professor McGonagall droning the number 8 section with her stern gaze.
"This is the newest member of the 50 we are hoping to get" Dumbledore carried on after the whispers stopped "Ok lets start the meeting, Severus"
As Snape stood up wearing a look that made him look like some tragic war hero he spoke "There is nothing new, the dark lord is apparently rumoured to have left England his whereabouts are unknown"
"Thank you Severus" Dumbledore continued "Harry have you felt anything in your scar" He asked giving him a meaningful look.
"No sir" Then added "It's odd could it be that the connection isn't that strong because Voldemort has left England like Snape suggested?"
"DO NOT SPEAK H..." Snape started to rant before Dumbledore put up a silencing hand.
"Possibly" Dumbledore concluded letting them know it was settled for now "Xavier have you had news yet?"
"The vampires are tempted" The man called Xavier said standing up, he looked very dark and wore a dirty silver cloak "They want there rights but are not looking for an open war, they remember how many the lost last time"
"Just as I thought please continue your work, I daresay everyone would like to get some sleep" Though the clatter of chairs Tonks walked over "Wotcher Harry the men's dormitory's are down the end"
"Yeah Harry follow me" Remus called out from across the table leading the way towards the entrance hall again.
"Harry I know this is soon but we have to get Sirius will read"
"Ok" Slightly dreading this
"What date do you want it?" Remus slowly pressed on
"Anytime" Not really caring.
"How about august the 5th?" In a soft voice
"That would be good" Trying to get to bed before this subjects pressed on.
"Ok" Remus replied rather doubtful that it would be good but stayed silent until they reached an arc that had markings that strongly reminded him of the runes from the veil in the department of mysteries.
As he entered the once gloomy dark cold corridor tuned into a brilliant lit room. Now recovered from the shock he looked around to see hundreds of coves with thick silk in blood red colouring.
Remus led him over to the first row to see his nametag blazed on the side plaque in rich silver letters.
"Ok this is your cove for when you stay overnight" Then pointing to a few coves down the end "That is where Mark and Dudley stay. Goodnight" Then after receiving a nod from Harry walked briskly to a cove down the end that he assumed was his.
He opened the silk to reveal a bed; it was more like a luxury chair in blood red. Settling himself down onto the bed he realised it was very comfy so quickly drifted into a deep sleep.
He was woken by Marks over exited voice yelling "Harry Wake UP!!!"
And feeling quite groggily replied with "Hey mark" but it got caught up with "Hymk"
Then noticing Dudley, which was quite hard to miss but he looked less like the spoilt kid and more of a sad weeping kid Harry had been after Sirius death.
"Hey you two" Then added as his stomach let out a loud growl "Where's breakfast"
"Hey well it's down the end of the entrance hall on the right" Dudley responded
"Could you start training us today Harry" Mark suggestion brought a nod from Dudley so said "Have you got a wand?"
This brought a nod from Mark while Dudley got his out and held it like his old smeltlings stick and had to laugh, he couldn't imagine Dudley with a wand and now it's in front of him it seemed almost natural to him.
On the way to the breakfast hall he had learned that Mark and Dudley had moved onto basic 2nd year stuff (Mark is only learning the basics while Dudley was going into depth)
At first he noticed the dining hall wasn't vary grand, it looked like it could host 12 people at most and had such a dark demeanour that would leave Grimwald place jealous.
After breakfast he worked covering second year and third year defence. In the end they probably thought he was as paranoid as mad eye until he saw Dumbledore ushering him into the entrance hall.
"Now Harry I am determined to tell you everything as not to keep you into the dark" Then told him "This cavern was from a Vampire tribe that hid from the Ministry after the events in 1782, unfortunately they lost too much blood and got driven into blood lust before killing each other. It's similar to what's happing to the giants now except there are vampires in other countries that fled. The Order used to have a grand hall before Grindlewald ordered Hitler to bomb the city above the resource. Many artefacts and weapons were lost and no one knows where it is now. We think Voldemort may be trying to get the weapons namely the Hope of Life which was in the cavern when it fell but his numbers are low, the reason your scar don't hurt is because his recruiting outside England.".
"Sir what about Azkaban and the Dementors?"
"They are not yet under the control of Voldemort because his forces are low." With a deep sigh Dumbledore added "We found bodies of Muggles near Azkaban, they were possibly given as a trade for them death eaters in his inner circle."
"So he just left all those outside his inner circle?" He quizzed
"Yes you see Voldemort is responsible for his circle, then the others are responsible for there own circles and are rarely summoned by Voldemort and mostly by the circles leaders."
"Right..." Harry replied unable to realise why he should know all this.
"Go on now" Dumbledore ushered him back "Want a lemon drop" He said offering a tin.
"Thanks" Taking a lemon drop "I'll see you later sir"
"Bye"
He walked back to the kitchen while processing the new information as he looked round and noticed how dark the colours were even dried blood in the corners.
"Wotcher Harry" Cried a Harry bouncing Tonks "We can go Diagon Ally on the way back if ya want"
After saying goodbye to everyone they left, this time no train they just walked into a room of portkey's in which Tonks explained the Train and Elevator were only there for security so they could have the portkey's to go to locations across the wizarding world such as Hogsmead and Hogwarts. He decided to first head over to Gringotts but caught a look of a red speck near Quality Quidditch Supplies and headed over. He arrived there and saw a familiar redhead and called out "RON!!" as he approached suddenly everything went black.
Ok 7th July next update then every Wednesday and Saturday after.

Brief yet highly detailed, in the end he picked up the Phoenix feather quill and signed his name.
Once finished the quill and parchment erupted into flames and Fawkes flew into a fire vortex.
They was replaced with another quill he realised after studying it, it was black with a big Phoenix feather (No doubly from Fawkes's tail) and a pendant of an Phoenix with the initials engraved HJP.
While examining the pendent he hadn't noticed a new door that had been formed leading downwards .
"Come on Harry" Remus said in his normal kind voice that he was used to hearing as he followed Remus and Tonks towards the door.
"Where exactly are we" Harry asked even though he presumed they were in London or close.
His thoughts were confirmed when Tonks replied "London, we are currently next to the lowest level of Gringotts infract I think we are actually in a vault" Casually walking through the black gates that bore a Phoenix engraved mark similar to his pendant but with a lot more details.
"Welcome Harry" He heard and followed the sound of his voice to Dumbledore standing at the end of what he thinks to be the entrance hall.
"We are near Gringotts but these tunnels was built long ago by Vampires craning for the gold" Dumbledore's usual kind voice continued "Come now, we are just about to start the meeting" As he led them to a polished brown door.
The first thing he saw was an extremely large round table that accounted around 30 people.
"This Harry is the ring leaders of the Order" Remus surmised "You are the newest member"
"Now Harry follow me through here, we need to rank you" Dumbledore said putting an arm round his shoulder and leading him into an oval room with and crystal ball with swirling black mist in it then as Dumbledore shut the door he continued.
"Place your finger tips onto the outside but not your thumb"
As Harry reached down he felt the coldness creep over him then he touched the ball he felt a warm sensation sweep over him coming from the tips that felt like the Disillusionment Charm mad-eye had put on him last year.
He looked into it unable to take his eyes from it then a number started to take shape 988 Then the heat went and he looked over to Dumbledore with a look saying "Did I do it right?
"Yes hmm" Dumbledore replied "You are ranked 11" Showing a brass instrument with a red floating marker in some silkily white substance pointing to a rune.
"Lets go start the meeting Harry" Replacing his hand onto his shoulder and pulling him out the oval room and back to the meeting room with the large table.
Now he looked closely on the brown wood was runes Dumbledore asked a elderly witch to move down and conjured another chair that looked like the other rich black wood with blood red silk lining it.
"Harry is the new number 11 rank in the Order!" Dumbledore announced, this followed with whispering and murmurs from the other members some that sounded like "His just a boy" and he must be pretty powerful".
He could distinctly see Bill and Arthur along with a few of the Hogwarts teaching staff, Professor Snape looking as greasy as ever and baring his usual hate filled glare that was aimed at him as he noted with satisfaction he could see he was ranked 13.
Little Flitwick Sitting on his usual stack of pillows so he can see over the table at number 5.
Professor McGonagall droning the number 8 section with her stern gaze.
"This is the newest member of the 50 we are hoping to get" Dumbledore carried on after the whispers stopped "Ok lets start the meeting, Severus"
As Snape stood up wearing a look that made him look like some tragic war hero he spoke "There is nothing new, the dark lord is apparently rumoured to have left England his whereabouts are unknown"
"Thank you Severus" Dumbledore continued "Harry have you felt anything in your scar" He asked giving him a meaningful look.
"No sir" Then added "It's odd could it be that the connection isn't that strong because Voldemort has left England like Snape suggested?"
"DO NOT SPEAK H..." Snape started to rant before Dumbledore put up a silencing hand.
"Possibly" Dumbledore concluded letting them know it was settled for now "Xavier have you had news yet?"
"The vampires are tempted" The man called Xavier said standing up, he looked very dark and wore a dirty silver cloak "They want there rights but are not looking for an open war, they remember how many the lost last time"
"Just as I thought please continue your work, I daresay everyone would like to get some sleep" Though the clatter of chairs Tonks walked over "Wotcher Harry the men's dormitory's are down the end"
"Yeah Harry follow me" Remus called out from across the table leading the way towards the entrance hall again.
"Harry I know this is soon but we have to get Sirius will read"
"Ok" Slightly dreading this
"What date do you want it?" Remus slowly pressed on
"Anytime" Not really caring.
"How about august the 5th?" In a soft voice
"That would be good" Trying to get to bed before this subjects pressed on.
"Ok" Remus replied rather doubtful that it would be good but stayed silent until they reached an arc that had markings that strongly reminded him of the runes from the veil in the department of mysteries.
As he entered the once gloomy dark cold corridor tuned into a brilliant lit room. Now recovered from the shock he looked around to see hundreds of coves with thick silk in blood red colouring.
Remus led him over to the first row to see his nametag blazed on the side plaque in rich silver letters.
"Ok this is your cove for when you stay overnight" Then pointing to a few coves down the end "That is where Mark and Dudley stay. Goodnight" Then after receiving a nod from Harry walked briskly to a cove down the end that he assumed was his.
He opened the silk to reveal a bed; it was more like a luxury chair in blood red. Settling himself down onto the bed he realised it was very comfy so quickly drifted into a deep sleep.
He was woken by Marks over exited voice yelling "Harry Wake UP!!!"
And feeling quite groggily replied with "Hey mark" but it got caught up with "Hymk"
Then noticing Dudley, which was quite hard to miss but he looked less like the spoilt kid and more of a sad weeping kid Harry had been after Sirius death.
"Hey you two" Then added as his stomach let out a loud growl "Where's breakfast"
"Hey well it's down the end of the entrance hall on the right" Dudley responded
"Could you start training us today Harry" Mark suggestion brought a nod from Dudley so said "Have you got a wand?"
This brought a nod from Mark while Dudley got his out and held it like his old smeltlings stick and had to laugh, he couldn't imagine Dudley with a wand and now it's in front of him it seemed almost natural to him.
On the way to the breakfast hall he had learned that Mark and Dudley had moved onto basic 2nd year stuff (Mark is only learning the basics while Dudley was going into depth)
At first he noticed the dining hall wasn't vary grand, it looked like it could host 12 people at most and had such a dark demeanour that would leave Grimwald place jealous.
After breakfast he worked covering second year and third year defence. In the end they probably thought he was as paranoid as mad eye until he saw Dumbledore ushering him into the entrance hall.
"Now Harry I am determined to tell you everything as not to keep you into the dark" Then told him "This cavern was from a Vampire tribe that hid from the Ministry after the events in 1782, unfortunately they lost too much blood and got driven into blood lust before killing each other. It's similar to what's happing to the giants now except there are vampires in other countries that fled. The Order used to have a grand hall before Grindlewald ordered Hitler to bomb the city above the resource. Many artefacts and weapons were lost and no one knows where it is now. We think Voldemort may be trying to get the weapons namely the Hope of Life which was in the cavern when it fell but his numbers are low, the reason your scar don't hurt is because his recruiting outside England.".
"Sir what about Azkaban and the Dementors?"
"They are not yet under the control of Voldemort because his forces are low." With a deep sigh Dumbledore added "We found bodies of Muggles near Azkaban, they were possibly given as a trade for them death eaters in his inner circle."
"So he just left all those outside his inner circle?" He quizzed
"Yes you see Voldemort is responsible for his circle, then the others are responsible for there own circles and are rarely summoned by Voldemort and mostly by the circles leaders."
"Right..." Harry replied unable to realise why he should know all this.
"Go on now" Dumbledore ushered him back "Want a lemon drop" He said offering a tin.
"Thanks" Taking a lemon drop "I'll see you later sir"
"Bye"
He walked back to the kitchen while processing the new information as he looked round and noticed how dark the colours were even dried blood in the corners.
"Wotcher Harry" Cried a Harry bouncing Tonks "We can go Diagon Ally on the way back if ya want"
After saying goodbye to everyone they left, this time no train they just walked into a room of portkey's in which Tonks explained the Train and Elevator were only there for security so they could have the portkey's to go to locations across the wizarding world such as Hogsmead and Hogwarts. He decided to first head over to Gringotts but caught a look of a red speck near Quality Quidditch Supplies and headed over. He arrived there and saw a familiar redhead and called out "RON!!" as he approached suddenly everything went black.
Ok 7th July next update then every Wednesday and Saturday after.
