It took Harry a minute to adjust to the shock that inevitably happened after using a portkey. He was curious as to where his father had set this portkey – His Father! He remembered what absolute danger his father was in. He knew though that number one, Voldemort would want to torture him first because of the disloyalty. He also knew that Voldemort's ultimate goal was himself and that he would keep his father alive if it meant getting to Harry. The first thing to do was check on Hermione and Ron. Then they had to figure out where they were so that they could get to Dumbledore. From there they could all figure out the best way to get to Voldemort and get Snape back. Harry looked over at Ron and Hermione and discovered that they were staring at him. 'I must have been thinking longer than I thought.'

Harry went ahead and released Ron and Hermione from the ropes.

"Okay you guys, the first thing we need to do is figure out where we are so that we can figure out how to get to Dumbledore." Said Harry. He looked over Hermione and Ron and other than looking a little stunned, they seemed to be unharmed.

"Harry, there is a reason that Snape picked this place for that portkey. I think that we should take a look around this place before we do anything. It looks like a house of some sort." Said Hermione ever the logical one.

"Good idea." Said Harry. "You two take the lower floors and I look up these stairs here."

Harry left the two of them still sitting on the floor so focused was he on his task. At the top of the stairs there seemed to be a door directly to his right and one straight ahead. Then in the hall to his left there were two more rooms. One on either side of the hallway. Harry instantly decided to start in the room to his right. As he opened the door, the room looked like a regular bedroom complete with a wardrobe and four-poster bed. There seemed to be nothing unusual about this room. Harry turned around a little disappointed. The second room appeared to be very similar to the first – the only difference being the small desk located in this room. When the third bedroom was almost an exact dupliate of the first, Harry found himself strangely disappointed. He was hoping that there would be something in this house that would help him to find and rescue his father. He paused at the threshold of the last door, pleading to the air that this one would be different. As he opened the door he felt an momentary rush of disappointment and then he noticed something. There seemed to be a section of wall that was not exactly the same as the rest. Harry knew that he needed to call Ron and Hermione in here.

"Ron, Hermione!" Harry yelled. "Get up here."

"Where are you?" Ron yelled from the hall.

"In here." Replied Harry.

"Did you two have any luck downstairs?"

"It all seems like a normal house. There was the sitting room, which we appeared in, the dining room, a kitchen and small bathroom. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary or unusual about any of it." Ron said sounding a little disappointed.

"Well, I thought the same thing up here. It just appears to be four normal bedrooms, but then I looked a little closer in this one. You guys see anything unusual?"

Hermione immediately piped up, "the wall over there – it's not exactly the same as the other ones. There's a patch that just seems to be… different."

"Exactly," said Harry knowing that Hermione would be first to notice it. "I think this house was designed to look like a normal house in case anyone stumbled upon it. I'll bet there are some useful things if we can get inside this room."

"Well, let's try something simple," said Hermione stepping up to that patch of wall. "Alohamora." Said Hermione with a flick of her wand. Amazingly enough, the section of wall didn't just seem to open, it almost seemed to disappear. The friends stared.

"Leave it to Hermione to figure it out." Said Ron sounding a little envious that he didn't think of that.

"Let's light our wands and see what's what." Said Harry.

"Lumos." The three said at once.

To the front of them was a staircase leading to another door. It looked like they were heading up to some type of attic. The three quickly scrambled to the top of the steep flight of stairs. The second door was a regular door and opened with a twist of the knob.

What Harry saw inside amazed him. The first thing he noticed was a table with several different objects each was labeled. There was a torn sock with the label – Snape's quarters. There was a bar of soap labeled Dumbledore's office. There was a very beat up plastic bucket that said The Three Broomsticks.

"These are portkeys, Harry. A bunch of portkeys to all the different places you'd need to go if you had to use the emblem!" Hermione said excitedly. "Snape set this up just for you in an emergency! I can't believe it!"

"Let's see what else is up here. There's bound to be something we can use to help get my father back." Harry said with renewed enthuisiasm.

The next thing that they came across was a cabinet full of potions. The one that caught Harry's eye was labeled Snape's polyjuice potion. Harry quickly grabbed that and put it carefully in his pocket. 'This might come in handy,' he thought. They quickly scoured the room looking for anything useful. They could find nothing, and about to give up hope and head over to the portkeys again, they looked at the last corner. Here they found something that would be extremely useful in locating his father. It was a clock very similar to the one that Mrs. Weasley had in her kitchen except that this one was much more specific and had only one hand – that which was labeled, Severus Snape. Along with listing the usual locations, Hogwarts Dungeons, Hogsmeade, and out of the country – it listed all of the possible locations where Voldemort could have taken him.

"It looks like he prepared for every possibility, your father." Said Ron quietly with something akin to respect in his voice.

At this moment, Severus Snape's hand was pointing to… Malfoy's Home.

The three seeing this – headed quickly back to the portkeys and grabbed the one for Dumbledore's office at the same time. They quickly found themselves in the headmaster's office with Professors Dumbeldore, McGonagall, and Lupin staring at the three intruders.
