Chapter 6: Number Two
Time passed quickly for the newlyweds. Harry began Auror Training and got through it in record time. It only took Harry one month to graduate from Auror Training. He began his duties almost instantly and began to build up a reputation. After the assassination of Cornelius Fudge, the Ministry was in an uproar. They accused a Wizard activists group from China for the assassination, who denied the charges bluntly. Percy Weasley was soon named Minister of Magic.
Katie was soon really pregnant and it was almost time for the babies to be born. Harry was really indulged in his work, but always had time for his wife, who always had friends around when he was gone. Soon she nine months pregnant and it was time for the babies to be born. Harry was in the middle of work when she went into labor and Harry had to rush over to St. Mungo's.
On November 22, Katie Potter gave birth to Harry James Potter Jr. and Virginia Bell Potter. Harry soon named Neville and Luna Longbottom their godparents. Harry would have put Remus, but Remus had told Harry that he was too old to be named godfather. Remus was going on 50 and knew he would die long before Harry or Katie would. Also Neville and Luna had named Harry their child's godparents so he returned the favor to them.
Neville and the Third World Greenhouse began to grow because of Harry's donation and Neville's discovery. The whole greenhouse was now based around Neville's finding and Neville was made second in charge by Harry except for the President of the Green, Ronald Sprout who was married to the Herbology teacher at Hogwarts. Luna had given birth to baby boy whom they had named Jeremy Longbottom.
Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour had separated, but gotten back together many times. Bill was hired back as an Auror when Percy had taken office. He had to start from the beginning again, but he was making his reputation right. Harry and him did not speak at all. Their offices were on different sides of the room and they hardly ever got assigned to the same case. Harry's partner was a guy that had just gotten out of Auror training at the same time as him. The difference was it took his partner a year and a half to finish and Harry only took a month.
The guys name was Ricky Sanders. Ricky was a good guy and a very talented Auror, but he could get a little bit annoying. Harry liked him, but some days he really wanted to strangle the 23-year-old. They were still the best young duo in the ministry. The only other duo with a better track record for closing cases was the Weasley brothers, but that was only because they were working longer.
The kids were both 4 months old and Harry was working on a pretty serious case. Harry had many connections with many business and charities because he had been donating money to a lot of places around the Wizarding World. Harry used his connections in the underground and in businesses to help his cases. Harry and Ricky were in the conference room at Harry's home.
"Harry, we can't fight three vampires. That is ridiculous. We need backup. Tonks would gladly help with Kingsley. Maybe we can get Alastor to help us," Ricky argued as Harry looked at him with a cocked eyebrow.
"You went through Auror training? Man, you probably would have been in Hufflepuff with the confidence you have," Harry said shrugging as he suited himself up, getting ready in his battle gear.
"All we have to do is go to Death Alley, find these three Vampires. Killed the two spares and capture Vladimir. When we catch him, we can get what we need and kill him afterwards," Harry said as he buckled his dagger to his ankle.
He still brought his dagger everywhere he went along with the Sword of Gryffindor.
"How do we walk into Death Alley and not get ourselves into trouble? Are you trying to get us killed? I mean look at the name of the Death Alley, as in Death. Death is common there. There are vampires everywhere. I mean, are you..." Ricky continued as Harry slapped him hard across the face.
"Sanders!" he said with a growl as Ricky shook his head.
"Sorry, I was losing it there. Let's go," Ricky said striding out into the hall where the apparation room was.
Harry liked that about Ricky. All he needed was a slap and he was ready to go. He focused really easily and was a smart duelist. Harry and Ricky worked really well together. Katie was waiting outside the door.
"So when where you going to tell me you were going into Death Alley?" Katie said angrily.
"Right now, I love you honey. Be back in a while," Harry said giving her a kiss on the cheek and walking into the apparation room.
"Ricky, you better take care of him," Katie said as Ricky put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a swift nod before going into the apparation room.
Ricky had become friends with Katie because Ricky spent a lot of time in the castle strategizing with Harry and Remus, who had helped them out when the tables were turned against them, which was often because Harry was always doing a lot of crazy things to make his case. Remus never questioned Harry's judgment once, however, and always came along against his own better judgment.
"Are you ready for this? We are going to apparate straight into Death Alley so we need to be ready," Harry said as Ricky nodded. "Let's go," he said as they both apparated.
They apparated into a small house on the outside of the Alley. Harry had had a vampire that he was in an allegiance with, buy it for him when the time came. This vampire Harry saved from execution from another case and the vampire felt like he was in debt. Harry only had him buy it because he couldn't. It would cause a lot of attention that he didn't need for this case. The living room was filled with cigarette smoke.
"I see you have been using this house to your advantage Abel," Harry said making the vampire from the corner come out with a smirk.
Ricky gave an angry growl.
"What are you doing here?" he asked with an angry glare.
Ricky was the one about to execute the vampire before Harry stopped him.
"I am here on my own inconvenience. I have come to help you in your fight against Vladimir for I cannot stand back and watch him kill anymore of my servants," Abel said showing his fangs at Ricky.
Harry pulled out a stake out of his pocket.
"Remember Abel, I didn't have you killed because it could benefit me. It has. There is no more need for you," Harry said showing the stake in his hand.
"Very well, I guess I will go out for a feed," Abel said as he began to spin and there was a loud crackle of apparation.
"What do you mean benefit you?" Ricky asked as Harry smirked.
"He bought this house so we can have a place to begin our mission. Invisibility and Silencing Charms are in order. Now let's begin," Harry said. "We have to charge into the house. There will be three Vampires guarding the house in the front; we take them out before we enter. I know there will about 4 more Vampires inside the house from what I have found when I staked out the house. We will have to kill them fast before Vladimir comes out of the other room, because it will take both of us to capture Vladimir," Harry said as Ricky nodded.
"So do you want me to hold him off and then you can surprise him?" Ricky asked as Harry nodded.
"That sounds fine. Let's go," Harry said as he put the charms on himself and Ricky.
They walked out of the house and began to run towards the house that was about a hundred meters away. There were many people in the Alley at night because of its name, which held true. Many people had died or disappeared in Death Alley. They stalked up to the house were three Vampires stood wearing black jeans and black casual bottom up short that let their hairy chests hang out. They showed their fangs, upon hearing people run up although they couldn't see them.
Harry and Ricky threw stakes that pierced two of the vampire's hearts and they exploded with loud BANG. The other vampire made for inside the house, but Harry did an advanced sunlight spell that made the vampire explode. Harry and Ricky both ran up the steps and Harry kicked the door in. The vampires were in the corners of the room jumped out at the two invisible wizards, but did not find them. Harry and Ricky shot two stakes at two of the vampires and they exploded with a BANG.
One of the Vampires sensed where Harry was and jumped onto Harry, but Harry had a stake ready. He stabbed the beast deep in the heart and it exploded. Rick just finished taking care of the other vampire when the door in the other room opened. The vampire that walked out was a foul beast. He sniffed in distaste.
"Wizards. I haven't had Wizard's blood in while," Vladimir said charging at Ricky who had his wand ready.
While Ricky was busy with Vladimir, Harry took advantage.
"Sintrinitra," Harry said as Vladimir buckled up and fell to the floor.
The spell was a better version of the full body bind. Harry had done some research and eventually created the spell that was only used by Aurors when fighting against Dark Creatures. This body bind could take out Vampires and Werewolves alike. Harry walked up to the bound Vampire and smirked as the Vampire showed his teeth.
"So you finally caught me Potter! Bravo," the Vampire snarled.
"Who are you working for?" Harry asked as the Vampire laughed confidently.
"You will have to kill me Potter because I will never tell you," Vladimir said giving Harry a vicious glare.
"I have many ways of getting information out of people...especially Vampires," Harry said with a smirk as he pulled out a veil.
"You know Veritaserum doesn't work on Vampires," Vladimir said with a harsh laugh.
"This isn't Veritaserum Vlady," Harry said forcing the potion down his throat.
"Sanders, do the honors," Harry said Ricky smirked down at the Vampire.
"Who are you working for?" Ricky asked as Harry put a silencing charm on the room.
"I will never..." the vampire began, but screamed in pain before he could finish.
"That isn't the answer I was looking for Vlady. Now, let me ask again. WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?" Ricky screamed right after the Vampire stopped screaming.
"FUCK YOU!" the vampire screamed as he screamed out in pain again.
"We have all day Vlady. You can speak up or who can feel the pain. It is up to you. Now again who are you working for?" Ricky asked again as the Vampire didn't answer and just screamed out in pain.
This went on for a long time. The vampire wasn't giving out the information Harry and Ricky needed to bring back to the Department of Ministries so Harry and Ricky had to start the physical torture. First they cut off one of the Vampires fingers. Then Ricky, out of frustration, cut the beasts hand off, which still hadn't helped. Soon Harry and Ricky were growing restless.
"Now one last time Vladimir. Who the hell are you working for?" Ricky yelled as the Vampire said nothing.
He didn't even scream. The vampire just began to twitch. Harry let out an angry growl. He brought out his stake and stabbed the twitching Vampire deep in the heart. It exploded and Harry punched the wall.
"That is the fifth Vampire that we have caught hasn't told us. This isn't working," Harry said as Ricky let out a huge breath and nodded.
"Well, let's go to the Department and tell them our findings," Ricky said as Harry nodded and they both apparated to the Department of Mysteries.
.........
Both Harry and Ricky got awards for killing Vladimir who was one of the most wanted Vampires in the Wizarding World. The other information they wanted was for another case that wasn't even theirs, but that was the main reason they took the case to capture or destroy Vladimir. They were trying to find information on the Assassination of Cornelius Fudge. It was Bill and Charlie Weasley's case, but they hadn't gotten anywhere with it. They didn't even know where to begin.
Harry had found out, although he hadn't told them, that a Vampire was hired to assassinate Cornelius Fudge. Ricky and Harry had been taking a lot of cases that involved Vampires to try to find a lead in the case, but they hadn't. The person who had hired the assassin had covered all the loose ends, but Harry knew he would find a break.
Harry had been spending a lot of time with Remus, Katie and his two children. Harry had lunch with Hagrid every once in awhile, but he didn't really talk to him that often. Neville and Luna had moved into the castle with their baby boy about a month after Harry and Ricky got their awards. Ricky also spent a lot of time in the castle with Harry, researching into their cases.
Neville had moved in to use Harry's potion lab. He wanted to try and develop the potion that could make Harry and Neville both more famous and give them more money than they would ever need. Harry already had the fame and the money, but he was doing it for Remus. Remus helped Neville and Harry research the potion and the effects it could have on the werewolf if made badly. The potion still needed work, but Harry knew it would be completed in the near future.
"Harry, you don't work tonight?" Katie said looking into the den as Harry smiled and nodded.
"Harry, I want to talk to you. I sort of want to, um, well I want to, um go back to work fairly soon," Katie said as Harry smiled.
"Is that really what you want?" Harry asked Katie nodded with a smile a huge smile on her face.
"Well, I guess you need something to keep you busy, but there is a few minor details we need to think about. Like where will the kids be staying?" Harry said as Katie frowned.
"Well, although I am not happy with it, I think Luna can take care of the kids during the day while I am at Hogwarts. I will leave in the mornings at ten and be home by dinner. I mean the kids are a year old now and running around like crazy. I am not saying I am not fulfilling being a full time Mom, but I really want to be..." Katie said as Harry just smiled at her and she stopped.
"I know Katie. You want to be a healer and you need to learn from the best and Madam Pomfrey is the best. I know Katie. I am proud of you," Harry said putting a hand on her cheek.
He looked deep into her eyes and kissed her softly on the mouth.
"Mummie," Virginia said excitedly.
Virginia and Harry Jr. were both in Remus's arms smiling at their parents. Remus smiled at them.
"Come to mommy Virginia," Katie said as Remus put little Virginia down.
Virginia was just learning to walk. She could only say a few words like Mommy or Mummie. Harry Jr. could do neither yet. Harry Jr. was a quiet baby who didn't cry often. Virginia was different. She would learn a word and repeat it. She began learning how to walk just two weeks ago and it showed. Then she fell over on her stomach and began to bawl. Remus had brought Harry Jr. to Harry as Katie picked up Virginia. She immediately stopped crying as she wrapped her arms around her mom's neck.
"Maybe I can start working at the beginning of next year when the term starts," she said as Harry smiled and gave her a hug and a kiss on her cheek.
.........
"Sanders, Potter come into my office!" the Head of the Department of Mysteries, Andreas Andrews called out.
Harry and Ricky just looked out each other and shrugged. They got up and went into the boss's office. Andreas sat behind his desk looking slightly tired. Andreas overworked himself sometimes and all the Aurors knew it.
"I have given the Cornelius Fudge case to two of my top teams. The Weasley Brothers. Tonks and Kingsley. They have produced nothing on this case. Every lead that they think they have found has been crap. The new Minister of Magic has been busting my balls about this case because his re-election comes up at the end of this year and he wants the people to know that he made sure the murderer was captured. I am giving you this case, because I believe you are the best we've got here. Don't fail me please," Andreas said flatly. "You may go now, Sanders. I need to talk to Potter for a second," he said as Sanders nodded and left the office.
"What is it you would like Sir?" Harry asked.
"Potter, I am making you my number two. You have done nothing, but good sense you got here. I would have done this a long time ago, but the Minister didn't seem to want me to. It is my decision though, and I am going against the Ministers wishes. What is it that made him so against you?" Andreas said as Harry only smirked.
"He used to fancy Katie. Katie broke it off with him and the story goes on," Harry said as Andreas grinned.
"I can see he has a distaste for you. He didn't seem to want me to give you the Fudge case, but again it is my decision to make. Don't fail me. I will let the others know that you are the number two now," Andreas said as Harry only nodded and left the room.
.........
"He made me number two!" Harry said the instant Katie apparated in from Hogsmeade.
The people that were assembled in the apparating room were Remus, Hagrid (who had stopped by), Neville, Ricky, Luna with Jeremy, and Virginia let cheers of joy as Katie jumped onto Harry, giving Harry a huge hug. Harry Jr. was there of course, but still didn't talk even though he was now one and half. He did give a little smile though from Remus's arms. Katie had just begun working back at Hogwarts just a couple days ago. Harry Jr. and Virginia weren't too happy about it, but it made them even happier at the end of the day when their Mummie came home.
Harry had waited to tell Ricky and the others until he told Katie so Harry and Ricky apparated back to his castle and waited for Katie to get back. Harry and Katie immediately began to chat about how Harry and Ricky had gotten the Cornelius Fudge case with Hagrid and the rest of the people. They chatted happily before people went to their respected places. Too bad for Remus the full moon was coming up in a week...or was it?
.........
"Potter, Andrews gave you the Fudge case against my orders. He won't take back what he did, saying something about stupid grudges to me, which don't understand, but I tell you now. Don't screw this case up. It is too important to be messed up by someone with likes of you," the Minister of Magic, Percy Weasley said angrily.
Harry just glared at him.
"I don't mess things up Minister Weasley, if you looked at my track record you would see and know I am the best. I am going to get this bastard or bastards," Harry said giving him a cold glare.
"Think what you want Potter, don't screw this up," Percy said angrily. "Because if you do, you will be out of the Ministry before you can the say word, 'Fired'," Percy said angrily as Harry just swirled around and stormed out of the Minister's office, slamming the door behind him.
.........
"It is ready Harry!" Neville said excitedly.
Harry smiled.
"Very well, and today is the night of the full moon. Are you sure that it is ready?" Harry asked smiling.
"Yes I am sure Harry. As ready as it will ever be," Neville said happily.
Remus that night did not transform. Remus had drunk the potion thinking it was Wolfsbane Potion. He cried tears of joy when he did not transform that night. However, he wasn't completely cured yet. You had to take for the next three full moons, which meant they would keep it secret until the last one when they would give Remus his last potion in front of a press conference.
.........
"Alright, from what I have gotten from Charlie Weasley and Tonks a werewolf named Winton Hedrick knows something, but they have no way of getting the information out of him since Veritaserum doesn't work on Werewolves. When they tried to capture him, he escaped," Ricky said at the desk next to him as Harry nodded.
They were in Harry's conference room.
"Very well, let's ask Remus if he knows who this guy is," Harry said as Ricky nodded.
"Ask Remus what?" Remus said walking in with a broad grin on his face.
"Feeling alright Remus?" Harry said with a smile as Remus nodded.
Remus was living high after the last full moon. He had told Harry and Neville he could never repay them for what they did for him. Now he could actually get a wife and have kids without being worried of hurting them during the full moon. Remus was planning on finding a job in the Ministry now if he could.
"We just wanted to ask you if you know a man by the name of Winton Hedrick?" Harry asked as Remus eyes instantly ran cold.
"I know him," Remus said with a nod.
"Do you know anything about him?" Harry asked as Remus looked at the floor.
"I am sorry Harry, I don't talk about Winton," Remus said looking at the floor.
"I see," Harry said frowning. "Well, I guess what we have is enough until we find him," Harry said to Ricky who nodded.
"Why are you trying to find him?" Remus asked instantly.
"Well, he supposed know information about the Cornelius Fudge case," Ricky said as Remus turned white.
"Okay, I'll tell you where I think you can find him, but please don't kill him. He is a friend of mine. A good friend," Remus said as Harry nodded.
"We'll try our best Remus," Harry said as Remus sighed.
"London. He actually used to have a residency near Grimmauld Place. I think he still rents out Number 1 Grimmauld Place," Remus said as Harry and Ricky only nodded.
They both apparated with a loud crackle.
.........
I hope you like this chapter... It really is the beginning of this story... It will go through Harry's experiences and his children's experience over the course of there stay at Hogwarts. I know some people might not like the way I made Harry and Ricky act during there mission, but that's the way I am going to write it... Harry is going to be a no nonsense type of Auror...but for the people who like the way made Harry and Ricky act, Thank you... Please Read and Review... Thank You to my Beta-Reader...

Ricky and Harry had been taking a lot of cases that involved Vampires to try to find a lead in the case, but they hadn't. The person who had hired the assassin had covered all the loose ends, but Harry knew he would find a break.
Harry had been spending a lot of time with Remus, Katie and his two children. Harry had lunch with Hagrid every once in awhile, but he didn't really talk to him that often. Neville and Luna had moved into the castle with their baby boy about a month after Harry and Ricky got their awards. Ricky also spent a lot of time in the castle with Harry, researching into their cases.
Neville had moved in to use Harry's potion lab. He wanted to try and develop the potion that could make Harry and Neville both more famous and give them more money than they would ever need. Harry already had the fame and the money, but he was doing it for Remus. Remus helped Neville and Harry research the potion and the effects it could have on the werewolf if made badly. The potion still needed work, but Harry knew it would be completed in the near future.
"Harry, you don't work tonight?" Katie said looking into the den as Harry smiled and nodded.
"Harry, I want to talk to you. I sort of want to, um, well I want to, um go back to work fairly soon," Katie said as Harry smiled.
"Is that really what you want?" Harry asked Katie nodded with a smile a huge smile on her face.
"Well, I guess you need something to keep you busy, but there is a few minor details we need to think about. Like where will the kids be staying?" Harry said as Katie frowned.
"Well, although I am not happy with it, I think Luna can take care of the kids during the day while I am at Hogwarts. I will leave in the mornings at ten and be home by dinner. I mean the kids are a year old now and running around like crazy. I am not saying I am not fulfilling being a full time Mom, but I really want to be..." Katie said as Harry just smiled at her and she stopped.
"I know Katie. You want to be a healer and you need to learn from the best and Madam Pomfrey is the best. I know Katie. I am proud of you," Harry said putting a hand on her cheek.
He looked deep into her eyes and kissed her softly on the mouth.
"Mummie," Virginia said excitedly.
Virginia and Harry Jr. were both in Remus's arms smiling at their parents. Remus smiled at them.
"Come to mommy Virginia," Katie said as Remus put little Virginia down.
Virginia was just learning to walk. She could only say a few words like Mommy or Mummie. Harry Jr. could do neither yet. Harry Jr. was a quiet baby who didn't cry often. Virginia was different. She would learn a word and repeat it. She began learning how to walk just two weeks ago and it showed. Then she fell over on her stomach and began to bawl. Remus had brought Harry Jr. to Harry as Katie picked up Virginia. She immediately stopped crying as she wrapped her arms around her mom's neck.
"Maybe I can start working at the beginning of next year when the term starts," she said as Harry smiled and gave her a hug and a kiss on her cheek.
.........
"Sanders, Potter come into my office!" the Head of the Department of Mysteries, Andreas Andrews called out.
Harry and Ricky just looked out each other and shrugged. They got up and went into the boss's office. Andreas sat behind his desk looking slightly tired. Andreas overworked himself sometimes and all the Aurors knew it.
"I have given the Cornelius Fudge case to two of my top teams. The Weasley Brothers. Tonks and Kingsley. They have produced nothing on this case. Every lead that they think they have found has been crap. The new Minister of Magic has been busting my balls about this case because his re-election comes up at the end of this year and he wants the people to know that he made sure the murderer was captured. I am giving you this case, because I believe you are the best we've got here. Don't fail me please," Andreas said flatly. "You may go now, Sanders. I need to talk to Potter for a second," he said as Sanders nodded and left the office.
"What is it you would like Sir?" Harry asked.
"Potter, I am making you my number two. You have done nothing, but good sense you got here. I would have done this a long time ago, but the Minister didn't seem to want me to. It is my decision though, and I am going against the Ministers wishes. What is it that made him so against you?" Andreas said as Harry only smirked.
"He used to fancy Katie. Katie broke it off with him and the story goes on," Harry said as Andreas grinned.
"I can see he has a distaste for you. He didn't seem to want me to give you the Fudge case, but again it is my decision to make. Don't fail me. I will let the others know that you are the number two now," Andreas said as Harry only nodded and left the room.
.........
"He made me number two!" Harry said the instant Katie apparated in from Hogsmeade.
The people that were assembled in the apparating room were Remus, Hagrid (who had stopped by), Neville, Ricky, Luna with Jeremy, and Virginia let cheers of joy as Katie jumped onto Harry, giving Harry a huge hug. Harry Jr. was there of course, but still didn't talk even though he was now one and half. He did give a little smile though from Remus's arms. Katie had just begun working back at Hogwarts just a couple days ago. Harry Jr. and Virginia weren't too happy about it, but it made them even happier at the end of the day when their Mummie came home.
Harry had waited to tell Ricky and the others until he told Katie so Harry and Ricky apparated back to his castle and waited for Katie to get back. Harry and Katie immediately began to chat about how Harry and Ricky had gotten the Cornelius Fudge case with Hagrid and the rest of the people. They chatted happily before people went to their respected places. Too bad for Remus the full moon was coming up in a week...or was it?
.........
"Potter, Andrews gave you the Fudge case against my orders. He won't take back what he did, saying something about stupid grudges to me, which don't understand, but I tell you now. Don't screw this case up. It is too important to be messed up by someone with likes of you," the Minister of Magic, Percy Weasley said angrily.
Harry just glared at him.
"I don't mess things up Minister Weasley, if you looked at my track record you would see and know I am the best. I am going to get this bastard or bastards," Harry said giving him a cold glare.
"Think what you want Potter, don't screw this up," Percy said angrily. "Because if you do, you will be out of the Ministry before you can the say word, 'Fired'," Percy said angrily as Harry just swirled around and stormed out of the Minister's office, slamming the door behind him.
.........
"It is ready Harry!" Neville said excitedly.
Harry smiled.
"Very well, and today is the night of the full moon. Are you sure that it is ready?" Harry asked smiling.
"Yes I am sure Harry. As ready as it will ever be," Neville said happily.
Remus that night did not transform. Remus had drunk the potion thinking it was Wolfsbane Potion. He cried tears of joy when he did not transform that night. However, he wasn't completely cured yet. You had to take for the next three full moons, which meant they would keep it secret until the last one when they would give Remus his last potion in front of a press conference.
.........
"Alright, from what I have gotten from Charlie Weasley and Tonks a werewolf named Winton Hedrick knows something, but they have no way of getting the information out of him since Veritaserum doesn't work on Werewolves. When they tried to capture him, he escaped," Ricky said at the desk next to him as Harry nodded.
They were in Harry's conference room.
"Very well, let's ask Remus if he knows who this guy is," Harry said as Ricky nodded.
"Ask Remus what?" Remus said walking in with a broad grin on his face.
"Feeling alright Remus?" Harry said with a smile as Remus nodded.
Remus was living high after the last full moon. He had told Harry and Neville he could never repay them for what they did for him. Now he could actually get a wife and have kids without being worried of hurting them during the full moon. Remus was planning on finding a job in the Ministry now if he could.
"We just wanted to ask you if you know a man by the name of Winton Hedrick?" Harry asked as Remus eyes instantly ran cold.
"I know him," Remus said with a nod.
"Do you know anything about him?" Harry asked as Remus looked at the floor.
"I am sorry Harry, I don't talk about Winton," Remus said looking at the floor.
"I see," Harry said frowning. "Well, I guess what we have is enough until we find him," Harry said to Ricky who nodded.
"Why are you trying to find him?" Remus asked instantly.
"Well, he supposed know information about the Cornelius Fudge case," Ricky said as Remus turned white.
"Okay, I'll tell you where I think you can find him, but please don't kill him. He is a friend of mine. A good friend," Remus said as Harry nodded.
"We'll try our best Remus," Harry said as Remus sighed.
"London. He actually used to have a residency near Grimmauld Place. I think he still rents out Number 1 Grimmauld Place," Remus said as Harry and Ricky only nodded.
They both apparated with a loud crackle.
