Chapter 6: Welcome to Grimmauld Place
Disclaimer: Once again I own nothing and J.K.Rowling has everything.
"You're a wizard". There was silence for a moment before Harry burst out laughing.
"No seriously what did you want to tell me" he said between laughs
"We were serious Harry"
"Whatever, there's no such thing as magic" Harry said
"And who told you that?" Hermione asked curiously
"The Dursleys" stated Harry
"Oh well that explains that then" Hermione said firmly
"Explains what?" questioned Harry
"Your limited knowledge of magic" Ron said calmly
"Limited knowledge of what?"
"Magic" repeated Ron
"Don't be silly, there's no such thing as magic" Harry said, laughing a little. Ron and Hermione said nothing; instead they both pulled a long pointy thing out of their clothes. Harry was getting a bit worried.
"Ok then, if there really is such a thing as magic then show me some" Harry said, bossily. Hermione looked at Ron who nodded at her, then at the same time they waved their wands and said;
"Wingardium Leviosa". At once a clock and a cup, that had been left there this morning, rose up into the air. Harry turned around and nearly screamed at what he saw.
"Get out" he said firmly
"What?" Hermione cried
"Get out" Harry said, his confidence coming back to him
"But Harry......"
"I said get out" Harry said, glaring at them
"No Harry" shouted Ron. Harry stared at him.
"We can't leave without you" said Ron
"Why not"
"Um, I'm not sure that we should tell you that, all you need to know is that you are a wizard and that you need to come with us, now" Hermione joined in
"Why should I?" Harry asked
"Because there are a lot of people who want to see you, plus you are very important" answered Ron
"Well............., I don't care, and anyway if I'm so important why wasn't I taken out of here earlier" questioned Harry
"Harry you have to come with us, whether you want to or not" Hermione said, starting to get angry
"No" stated Harry. Hermione raised her wand and was about to mutter a full- body bind when Ron came up behind her and pulled her wand away from her.
"Hermione you heard what the Order said, we can't hurt him, and we have to answer whatever questions he has" Ron said in her ear.
"But Ron, don't you think that Dumbledore or Sirius would be more appropriate?" she asked
"Well yes, but if we want Harry to come with us then we'll have to tell him"
"Oh alright" Hermione said, sitting down on the sofa. Harry was looking annoyed now.
"I thought I told you to get out"
"We can't leave without you Harry" sighed Hermione
"Well I already told you, you have to tell me why I'm so important and then maybe I might go with you" Harry said flatly
"Well then we'll have to answer your questions then" Ron said sitting down in an armchair
"Ok, so why am I so important?"
"Maybe we should start from the beginning" Hermione said, looking at Ron
"Would be helpful" murmured Harry. Hermione heard him but pretended that she didn't
"Right then" started Hermione.

Harry was close to tears. Ron and Hermione had told him everything. How he had defeated the dark lord when he was one year old, how his mum had died to save him. How he was meant to go to Hogwarts when he was eleven but had to stay with the Dursleys for security reasons. He was feeling a mixture if things. Sadness, annoyance, but most of all he was angry, angry that this had all been kept from him for years.
"Harry, are you alright?" Hermione asked, hesitantly
"Yeah I'm fine" Harry said, wiping his eyes a little.
"Are you sure?" Ron asked
"I said I'm fine" Harry almost shouted
"Will you come with us to Grimmauld Place?"
"Where?"
"Grimmauld Place, it's the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix" Ron replied
"Order of the what?"
"Order of the Phoenix" repeated Ron. Harry said nothing, he continued to stare at the floor, he could feel Ron and Hermione's eyes on him but he didn't look at them.
"Everybody wants to see you Harry" Hermione said gently
"Who's everybody?" Harry asked
"All of the Order"
"And Sirius, he's your godfather by the way" Ron said softly
"Oh" was all Harry said. They sat in silence for a few more minutes. Harry had been about to say yes when they asked him if they would go with him, but then he remembered the fact that all of this had been kept from him. Then an idea struck him, what if he went with them, but when he got there turned all cold and refused to speak to anyone. He could say that he was angry and hurt, and stay like that until they gave him some more answers.
"Ok" Harry said at last
"What?" said both Ron and Hermione
"Ok, I'll go with you" repeated Harry
"You will" exclaimed Hermione
"Yeah"
"Great, well go pack some clothes, and meet us back down here"
"Ok" Harry said walking out of the room. Neither Ron nor Hermione saw the smirk on his face.
Harry walked into his room and over to his wardrobe. He began to shove random clothes into a bag that he had lying around. He didn't take anything else except some body spray, a comb, deodorant, and his watch. He looked around his room to see if there was anything else he needed. He saw nothing and walked out of his room and down the stairs. Upon walking into the living room Hermione immediately said;
"We've told the Order that we're coming". Harry nodded his head to show that he had understood.
"Is there anything else that you need?" asked Ron
"I need to write a note to the Dursleys" Harry said walking over to the coffee table, he picked up a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a short note telling them that he was sleeping over a friends house.
"Finished"
"Ok then let's go" Ron said pulling a coin out of his pocket.
"How are we getting there?" Harry asked curiously
"Portkey"
"What's that?"
"It's a magic object that takes you to any destination" Hermione replied, smartly
"Come on then" said Ron
"What do we do?"
"You just have to put a finger on it" Ron said, putting one of his fingers on the coin. Harry put a finger on it, just like Ron and Hermione. Nothing happened for a few seconds. Harry was about to ask them when something would happen, but he didn't have time to open his mouth. At that moment he felt like a hook had pulled him off his feet and then they were gone. Only a few seconds passed before his feet hit solid ground. He looked around and saw that he was in a dark hallway.
"Come on" came Ron's voice. He felt someone's hand on his shoulder.
"This way" said Hermione, as she guided him down some stairs. They reached the bottom where there was more light than up the stairs. He saw Ron reach for a door handle and gently turn it.
'Ok Harry this is it' He thought to himself. Despite his calm exterior he was feeling nervous. The door swung open to reveal a brightly lit room with a long table in the centre with many people sitting around it. They all turned to look at them as they walked in.
"Welcome to Grimmauld Place Harry" Hermione whispered in his ear.
