Chapter 5: The Investigation Begins

"Someone doesn't like us…" Harry joked weakly, staring in disbelief at the bed – or what was left of it. The bed-sheets were slashed and the pillows were destroyed. Great mounds of feathers from the pillows were scattered about the room. And in the middle of the bed, written in what was unmistakeably blood, was a message.

It said,

"Potter, you were lucky this time…you're a stupid, meddling do-gooder…next time it won't just be your bed - it will be your family Potter…"

"Oh Harry! What are we going to do?" Hermione wailed. "Harry that's blood that's written in! What are we to do? Whose blood is it? Harry whoever has done this will stop at nothing!" By now Hermione's voice had grown to a hysterical shriek.

"Shhh…shhh" Harry soothed, wrapping his arms around her and patting her on the back, "We'll find them…I promise." Hermione sobbed into Harry's shoulder, leaving wet tears there.

"I'm so scared…" she whispered.

"Shhh…I know, it'll be ok."

"But Harry – I shouldn't be! I'm an auror – I face things like this everyday! If I'm scared now then I'm not worthy of being one!" The flow of tears quickened – they were now streaming down Hermione's face and making an ever increasing splotch on Harry's shirt.

"Oh Hermione! Don't be silly! You'd be an idiot if you weren't scared! When we go to work everyday – we deal with other people's nightmares. Now that this one has us in it – of course it's going to affect us! You have every right to be scared." Harry said, hugging Hermione tight.

Hermione pulled back from Harry and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Are you scared?" she questioned.

"To death!" Harry replied, with a shaky smile. "But we'll get through it," he said, "We just have to keep our heads clear." He led Hermione downstairs again.

"Don't touch anything in the house" he said, taking control of the situation, "– I've got a Magical Law Enforcement Patrol on its way and I've notified the International Magical Office of Law at the Ministry and the Auror headquarters. I want everything to be as we found it – it may lead us to whoever this crazy nut is."

"Ok," Hermione nodded, regaining her composure. "Harry?"

"Yes?"

"What about the kids? I mean, I know they're with Mr and Mrs Weasley but shouldn't they have some other sort of protection?"

"You're absolutely right Hermione; we must do something about that right away." Harry agreed.

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

"That'll be the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol." Harry muttered, hurrying to get the door.

"Mr and Mrs Potter!" said a middle-aged wizard, striding through the door Harry held open for him and into the hallway. "We received your owl, what has happened?"

As Harry quickly explained, about 5 more witches and wizards from the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol streamed through the open front door to join their Patrol Captain.

"Hmm…yes…" said the Patrol Captain after Harry had finished explaining, "The house does seem to be in quite a state. We'll take a look around. I'm Captain Prittol of Magical Law Enforcement Patrol number 1 by the way." He said, extending his hand to Harry.

Harry shook it. "Thank you, captain."

"There are some Aurors on their way too," continued Captain Prittol, absent-mindedly twirling his moustache around his wand; "I believe you notified them about this as well."

"Yes, that's right," agreed Harry.

"Now Mr Potter, if you could just take us up to your bedroom where the threat message was written; we can get to work."

Harry led Magical Law Enforcement Patrol number 1 upstairs. After they had surveyed the damage throughout the house Captain Prittol said, "Right well, that's all we can do for now. We've surveyed the damage and we'll record this incident at the International Magical Office of Law and they can be on the look-out for the culprit. Apart from that this job is now up to the Aurors."

"Ok, thank you very much Captain Prittol," said Harry and Hermione, showing Magical Law Enforcement Patrol Number 1 out of the house.

"And now we wait for the Aurors," Hermione sighed.

"Yeah…I hate waiting," said Harry, "It makes me feel so helpless. I want to go out there and throw the moron who did this in Azkaban, not sit here and wait. Every minute we wait, our children could be in danger."

"I know, Harry," agreed Hermione. "Waiting is the hardest thing. Speaking of our children though, have you got any idea what we can do to keep them safe?"

"As a matter of fact I do," replied Harry. "Hogwarts. I think our whole family should go and live there for a bit. We can get permission from Dumbledore and he'll take care of the kids when we have to work on the case or when I have to go and play a Quidditch match. I think we both agree that Hogwarts is just about the safest place in the world, and no one would try anything with Dumbledore there."

Hermione's whole face lit up. "Oh Harry you're brilliant!" she cried, launching herself on top of him. "That's perfect! The kids will be as safe as anything! I'll just send an owl to Mr and Mrs Weasley explaining our plan. We can set it into motion tomorrow."

Hermione was just sending her owl Fraltie on his way when they heard the doorbell.

"Finally!" murmured Harry, getting up and going to answer the door. He let the Aurors in and took them up to look at the threat message.

"I'll just stay down here," said Hermione, "I don't really want to see that awful blood again."

Once upstairs in the bedroom, the Aurors got to work examining the message.

"Hmm…" said Sophia Shraddle; Chief Auror of Auror Squad 5. "What I think we need to find out is whose blood the message is written in." She paused and looked over at her squad of Aurors. "Right, where's Fiona Rockhall?" A young witch stepped forward. "Right Fi, the recognito charm I think. It's your area of expertise; I don't mind what you do as long as you find out who the hell did this." Shraddle ordered.

"Yes chief," replied Fiona. "Sanguis Recognito!" Fiona said in a firm voice, pointing her wand at the blood. Then out of nowhere a piece of parchment appeared before Fiona's eyes. "Hmm…let's see…" said Fiona, reading the information on the page. "That's interesting…" she commented, "Very strange indeed…"

"Rockhall!" shouted Shraddle. "It is of absolutely no use to us to have you muttering to yourself. Now either stop wasting our time or get out!"

"Sorry chief," Rockhall murmured.

"Well?" said Shraddle, glaring at Rockhall, "What does it say about the blood?"

"It says that this blood isn't human - this blood has come from an animal."

"Oh no…" whispered Harry, as the truth dawned on him.

"Harry…have you seen Crookshanks?" Hermione called up the stairs.
