Chapter 11
Grimmauld Secrets

Enjoy!

Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione arrived at Grimmauld Place, but not before a debate between Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in which Moony watched from the fireplace via Floo and the four watched from couch.

Mrs. Weasley absolutely refused to see that three of them were considered adults and when Mr. Weasley finally made her realize they could leave and in legal right to, she deflated on that matter, but instead surged her argument at Ginny, who wasn't of age yet. She refused Ginny to be allowed to go! At this point Moony spoke up. Saying he would never let anything happen to Ginny, and Harry swore to Mrs. Weasley that Ginny would never leave his site. Mrs. Weasley had always trusted Harry even though he was a bit reckless sometimes. So she finally retaliated and allowed them all to go.

"Harry, how are you?"

Harry looked at Moony and smiled "Great" Moony's hair was far more gray, but he had on newer robes. Harry thought maybe Tonks had gotten them for him.

"Hey Professor" said Ginny arriving right behind Harry, followed by Ron then Hermione.

"Okay, I'm guessing you have a reason for wanting to come here?" Moony asked looking weary at the four teenagers that stood before him, trying with all their mite to look innocent. As much as Harry wanted to tell his father's friend everything about the Horcruxes, he knew it was not yet time to do just that so he remained silent, looking at Moony absentmindedly.

"Yeah we do" admitted Ginny but stopped short of any explanation.

"That's all! I don't even get to hear why and exactly what you four are up to?" asked Moony cutting his eyes suspiciously.

"Look, I'm really sorry, Moony. I'll tell you when the time is right, but not yet" said Harry. Moony looked at him as if considering him.

"Fine, what par say do we tell Molly then?"

"Well, we could tell her...I mean...we could if Harry that is...say that he wanted to go over some of...Sirius's personal things." said Hermione timidly casting a nervous glance at Harry.

Harry was hoping to avoid this conversation, but he knew it was inevitable. Harry's heart ached for his godfather. So much they had learn from each other. So much to get to know, that he never got a chance to find out! Ginny slipped her hand in his, and Harry felt warmth flood through his entire body leaving him feeling comfortable, and just by her simple contact. Harry gave her a weak smile and she squeezed his hand.

"Alright" said Moony noticing Harry and Ginny's hands. "If Molly Floo's your going over some personal matters, but I expect to be told sooner as opposed to later about what this is all about, okay?" After all four agreed, Mooney left to do some work in the kitchen, for the order.

"Were to start? Fine, let's split up. Ron, you and Hermione check the drawing room, and the sitting room. Ginny and I will check all the bedrooms upstairs, including Regulus's." said Harry. Ron looked disconcerted at hearing this.

"Oh really Ronald" Hermione snapped "Come on".

"Hey you two" Ginny stopped them from entering the drawing room they were currently standing outside of. "Remember the walls have ears".

"What?" asked Ron.

"It means, don't say anything about you know what" said Hermione "Now come on, we haven't got much time". Harry watched as Hermione pulled Ron into the drawing room, and the door snap shut softly. Harry took Ginny's hand and lead her up the next flight of steps.

"Which room was his, I wonder?" asked Ginny. Harry didn't know if she was wondering out loud or asking him this, but he decided to respond anyhow.

"I don't know, let's check them all out, just in case."

"Okay" Ginny said nodding her head. She opened the first door "This was mine, and Hermione's room when we all stayed here summer before last."

"I think we could count all the bedroom's that we all slept in that year, out" said Harry who wasn't likely to forget that year anytime soon. First the Dementors then, a hearing, then cleaning, then Umbridge, then not being able to play Quidditch and finally the episode at the ministry ending with Sirius's death into the black veil.

"This one's locked" said Ginny making Harry come back to the task at hand.

Harry pointed his wand at the door and tried to do it non-verbally. The pensive must have been giving him loads of practice, because the door swung open. Inside they found a study.
A big dark brown desk stood in the center with two high winged backed green chairs, a bookcase behind the desk, which separated to make space for a portrait of the "Noble House of Black" Sirius seemed to be left out. A women and two men stood in the picture. ' Maybe ' thought Harry ' This was taken after Sirius ran away at the age of sixteen. ' The portrait said nothing, but scowled down upon them. The women Harry recognized as Sirius's mother he had been introduced to, the year before last. So this had to definitely been the rest of Sirius's family. Harry thought they looked about as welcoming as the Dursley's, maybe a little more so. The man standing next to the women, held a look of disgust. He was bald, and supported a giant black mustache, and held a weak chin. Harry was kind of relieved to see that Sirius looked neither like his father, mother, or brother for that matter. The remaining man in the portrait looked at him with an amused scowl. Harry recognized Regulus Black, the memory's that he had been shown at Hogwarts had told him that. Harry looked at the portrait with interest. Regulus meeting his glare.

"Harry, look at this" Harry turned to find Ginny sitting at the desk going through many drawers.

"What is it?"

"Look's like they were your number one fan Harry" said Ginny trying to sound serious.

It was Harry's turn to scowl. "What?"

"Look" She handed him a black leather notebook that contained pictures he'd never even seen. All of himself and his parents. There was scribbling off to the side of every picture. It also contained newspaper clippings about him. Harry looked closer to the back

"Ginny why would there be newspaper clippings about the tri wizard tournament?"

Ginny looked thoughtful for a moment then said "Maybe Sirius came back here for a while?"

"Maybe" But Harry thought it unlikely. Ginny continued her search of the desks drawers, but yielded nothing after the notebook. The remaining walls, Harry noticed held smaller frames of pictures and even held a goblin head above the fireplace.

"Let's not tell Hermione that about that" said Ginny raising her own eyes to see what had caught his attention.

"Yeah" said Harry laughing.

"Or we'll be forced to hear about spug ". Harry laughed and lead the way out of the study. As soon as they were back in the hallway the door slammed shut behind them.

"Well, let's see what's next" said Harry as Ginny snickered and began checking the rest of the door's. They continued on up to the third floor. Were they found two unlocked doors and two locked.

"This is were Fred and George slept, I think" said Ginny

"It was" Harry stepped up to the first locked door, waving his wand in movement, but issuing no words as he was practicing non-verbal. The door opened and they stepped in and found themselves in Sirius's bedroom. There were odd pieces a bed, dresser, and a desk. Harry could tell just by the mere furniture that he wasn't the special child in the family. He was like Harry, or rather Harry was like Sirius.

Ginny started looking through the dresser, and found a few letters in the bottom, under a fake bottom. Ginny added these to the notebook to look at later. Harry took a hold of a picture he found by the bed. It's occupants couldn't be clearer to Harry. Sirius, Lupin, and James was in it. Harry noticed that Peter seemed to have walked out. Another picture was beside it. It's occupants were a stag, a black dog, and a werewolf. No rat was seen in this picture either. Peter seemed to be gone from all pictures. Harry wondered how Sirius got this picture, of there three animal forms.

"What's that?" Ginny asked coming to stand beside him.

"My Dad, Sirius, and Lupin"

"Wow! Hey look at Lupin" Ginny said starting to laugh, as the werewolf got to his hind legs and silently howled, before returning to his four paws again. But not before the black dog started to imitate him. The stag wagged it's tail and shook his head. Harry smiled. It was the best picture of the three.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah" Harry really didn't know why, but he was, Ginny was beside him and that's all that mattered, beside his mission, and keeping his friends safe.

"We'll get through this together, Harry" Ginny smiled and kissed him.

He kissed Ginny back and pulled her into him hard, she gasped in surprise but came willingly. Harry pushed her back until she hit the wall. In which he picked her up and her legs went around his waist. Kissing her forcefully, his tongue running wild in her mouth meeting her in even wilder strokes. His one hand cupped her bottom, pressing him into her, his other hand running up her side, toying with her breast through the layers of clothing, and down to her legs. Her back pressed firmly up against the wall. He kissed down her neck sucking roughly, and nibbling, and she began moaning, again Harry thrust his hips into hers, and she clawed his back calling his name out in pleasure. Harry's body about to explode.

And just as suddenly Harry let his head fall into the crook of her neck inhaling her scent he started to cry. Ginny's hand were running over his back and shoulder's though now in comfort, instead of want, and need. His breathing was ragged and his eyes were wet. His body hard, but Harry stayed right there until no more tears came out. He lifted his head and looked into Ginny's face, he wasn't afraid to cry in front of her, but he was surprised to find she had tears on her eyelashes and cheeks. Ginny cupped his face and kissed him softly.

"I'm sorry Gin" said Harry breaking the kiss.

"For what?"

"This " said Harry as he lowered her gently to the floor to stand beside him, away from the wall.

"I actually rather enjoyed it. I've never felt so much emotion in you" said Ginny blushing. Harry smiled and kissed her softly. After he cleaned their faces with a flick of his wand. They both stepped out back into the hallway, this time closing the door themselves behind them. Heading to the other door Harry again caste the spell non-verbally. Harry was completely sure this was Regulus's bedroom.

There was a giant bed of dark word, and highly detailed work. A desk, dresser table and chairs all matching the exquisite work that the bed showed. The table however was piled high with books, parchments, Quills, and dried up ink bottles. A book case with encyclopedia's and a fireplace along the opposite side of the room. A great detailed rug lined the bare stone floor, almost to the edges of the room. Though the room had no decorations, as there was no room. Harry thought though it looked rather dank, was comfy looking. He wouldn't have guessed that the wizard who resided here in this room was indeed a evil one!

Harry walked over with Ginny to the desk were she immediately started going over the few books that were laid there, and then she idly walked over to the table and started shifting things around.

"Well, he was defiantly doing some research on something" said Ginny

"Let's take a few books with us maybe we can find out what was so important." said Harry as he walked to the opposite of the room. A strange energy hit him full force, Harry looked

around, before recognizing it's true nature.

"Ginny"

"Yeah"

"Come over here a second, if you don't mind" said Harry.

Ginny creased her eyebrows and was almost to where Harry stood before freezing in her tracks, she too glanced around her before looking at the bookcase. "Magic" her voice barley above a whisper.

"Yep, there a secret door here somewhere" said Harry he saw Ginny look at him sideways

"Harry, how can we sense that?"

Harry looked at her thinking "I don't know for sure, but when I was with Dumbledore in the cave, he could sense magic that I couldn't"

"So why can you now?" Ginny raised her eyebrows questioningly at him.

"I don't know, the more important thing is why could you?"

Ginny looked taken back "I don't know, maybe we should go get Ron and Hermione and see if they can sense it to?"

"Maybe...yeah we should" agreed Harry.

Together they walked from Regulus's bedroom and made their way down to the drawing room. When they entered Ron was half immersed in a wardrobe. Hermione was going over the shelves and the glass case, and the bookshelves. A book in her hand.

"Hey guy's" said Ginny startling the pair causing Ron to hit his head and fall to his bottom. Hermione yelped a little squeal and dropped her book.

"What did you do that for?" asked Ron getting to his feet.

"We need your help on something, and besides Hermione I don't think that what were looking for is in magical creatures." said Harry as he lead them back upstairs to Regulus's bedroom.
At once Harry turned to his friends "Do you find anything strange with this room?"

Hermione shot him a puzzled look and she started pacing around. Ron just merely looked at Harry as if he just asked him to destroy a Bogart instead of sensing what he could.

"No.. why?" asked Ron giving up before he'd even moved ten paces.

"Hermione?" asked Ginny rolling her eye's as she turned away from Ron.

Hermione was still pacing, but she had moved toward the table still piled with books, though

Ginny had already laid a few scrolls and books by the door. "These are interesting, they seem to be on different topic's than the dark arts like the one's in the library downstairs, beside a book every now and then" said Hermione shuffling books around on the table.

"That's all!" Harry starred incredibly at his friends.

"You really don't sense anything ..at ...all!" Ginny sounded shocked.

"Um.. what are we suppose to be sensing exactly" asked Ron.

Harry and Ginny walked over to the bookcase "Aren't you interested in these books Hermione?" Harry asked.

"No, not really, no" Hermione answered absentmindedly.

Harry's jaw dropped. He had never heard Hermione not wanting to pick up a book. He looked at Ginny and Ron, they to seemed to be thinking the same thing.

"Her...Hermione? Are you feeling alright?" asked Ron attentively.

"Of course Ronald" Hermione snapped at him.

"Then why don't you want these books" countered Ginny. At Hermione's shrug of the shoulder Harry picked up on Ginny's train of thought

"Yeah, I'll even let you have them to keep"

"Sorry, Harry but I don't want them. They just don't seem interesting, do they?" said Hermione and picked a book off the table and shifted through it.

"Repelling charm" Harry said this almost to himself, but Ginny was close enough to hear him.

"What?"

"The repelling charm instead of repelling muggle's it's been changed to repel witches and wizards, who love books" said Harry the idea coming from the back of his mind.

"Didn't they have repelling charms at the Quidditch world cup stadium?" asked Ginny.

"That's what your Dad said, not to mention Hogwarts has it to!" said Harry watching Ron still looking at Hermione shocked and uncertainly.

"She's going to be okay, right?" Ron said a note of panic and worry in his voice.

"Why are you three standing by those boring, uninteresting books? Honestly! These over here are far more fascinating" And with that she pulled out a chair and began to read the

moment she sat down.

"Ron watch her, remember it's just the charm making her act this way, don't take anything seriously" said Harry.

"Alright, but what are you two going to do?" asked Ron.

"Were going to go shag in Sirius's bedroom Ron" snapped Ginny.

"Wha..." asked a even more horrified Ron.

"Well, you know, from a man's point of view your sister...damn she's hot!" added Harry

"Can't keep my eyes of her, can't wait to break through her innocent charms" that was all it

took Harry was down on the floor clutching his side in laughter, at Ron's look of anger and disgust. Ginny collapsed next to him.

"Good one babe" said Ginny though their were tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Ron realizing they were making a joke relaxed a little, and gave a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"Sorry mate, I had to at least once." said Harry getting back to his feet wiping his eyes, and glancing at Ron seriously this time. "Were going to figure out how to get in there" said Harry pointing at the bookcase with one hand, and rubbing the stitch in his side with the other. Ron nodded and walked over to Hermione, pulled out another chair and sat. He didn't remove his eyes from her the entire time. Harry ran his hands over the books. One book impractically felt hot to Harry. He pushed in the book, and the bookcase vanished to reveal a wooden door. This door didn't match the rest of the house. Harry grabbed the black iron handle.

"Be careful Harry, Ginny" Ron yelled looking at them in surprise.

Harry nodded his head in response. He opened the door and saw a set of stone steps that lead down and as soon as Harry stepped in, torches on the wall came to life with blue flames. Ginny followed close behind him. Harry held his wand out in front of him as they descended and saw Ginny doing the same thing.

At the end of the oddly winding staircase another door stood. Although this one was dark green almost black. Harry opened this door with even more caution. Harry found themselves in what was a study, with a lab off to the side. There was a desk, table and chairs, and books scrolls and quills and empty ink bottles seemed to be everywhere, on any flat surface. In the Lab, Harry could see it was great for brewing hard potions, just for it's ease of supplies near by.

"Regulus must have been good at potion's" said Harry.

"Yeah" said Ginny looking at the ready made potions lining one shelf. Then turning back to the desk " But what are all these books for?"

"Dunno, let's check some out, but be careful Gin."

Ginny smiled and together searched through the mass of books. Harry found out that indeed Dumbledore's prediction of Regulus being the first to discover Voldemort's secret Horcruxes was true. They grabbed a few of the books, and scrolls for better looking at, later. Plus Ginny thought they would be interesting to have a look at. Harry walked around the office then the lab and felt no surge of magic. They made their way back up the stairs, which was harder as now they had there hand's full. Harry thought it best to not send them to the Burrow, just yet. Out of simple fear that Mrs. Weasley would find them.

When they reached the top, Ron and Hermione were in a deep discussion about whom would be the new Defense Against the Dark Art's teacher at Hogwarts, and if it was going to be someone from the order.

When Harry and Ginny came into the room carrying the books, Hermione's eyes lit up immediately.

"A little homework assignment, Hermione" said Ginny "Find out what Regulus Black was working on". Harry had Hermione transfigure her chair into a box at which they placed all books, the notebook, pictures, and the letters.

Harry turned back to the bookcase and found the bookcase had once again covered it's secret door. Ron levitated the box as it was pretty heavy now, and let it hover in front of him, as they all headed back to the kitchen. Harry had the one more room to check for the Locket, Kreacher's!

When Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione entered the kitchen they had a plan. Ron and Hermione was going to try to distract Mooney, while Harry and Ginny searched Kreacher's quarter's. Ron and Hermione nodded at Harry and went over to Mooney who was stirring something in the cauldron over the fire.

"This should be easy" said Ginny, as Harry too noticed that Moony already had his back to them.

"Let's go" Harry lead Ginny over to the cupboard that was Kreacher's. Harry opened it, and a smell hit his nostrils. "Oh Merlin".

"Not exactly clean is he?" said Ginny pinching her nose.

"He couldn't keep the rest of the house clean, so why not his room too" said Harry shrugging. Harry noticed Hermione's Christmas package from the year before last, still on his makeshift bed of dirty rags. Moldy pieces of cheese and bread, still lingered, making a fine layer on the soiled rags. Harry guessed this was the source of the smell. He took note of the pictures he saw before, repaired clumsily. Harry shifted these to the side with no luck, and started moving rags with his forefinger and thumb. Nose scrunched up against the foul smell. Harry spotted a black velvet box, in the corner, under the heaviest layer of rags. Harry grabbed it and opened it. Harry looked into a silver locket with a snake in the shape of an S. Harry heard Ginny gasp, turning and flashing her a wicked grin he snapped it shut and got back to his feet, his eyes never leaving Ginny's. Ginny returned his smile, as Harry now held one of the four Horcruxes in his hand.

"Harry, Ginny I didn't see you come in" Moony had turned around and found Harry and Ginny who were only standing mere inches away from each other. Harry shuffled the small black box in his cloak and put his other hand around Ginny's waist trying to hide his other hand's movement.

"Hey Moony how is work going?"

"Fine thank you, but you really should close Kreacher's cupboard now" Harry turned and Ginny quickly shut the door "Your still not going to tell me are you?" Moony met Harry's eye, who remembered Moony knew Legilimency and averted his eyes to Ginny who met Harry's gaze.

"I'm sorry Moony not yet, but soon, I promise" said Harry turning back to Moony, but still not meeting Mooney's eye.

"Alright then. How about some tea?" Moony moved a tea pot to the table, and five cups flew out of the cupboard behind Ron, who leaped out of the way just in time. After tea and biscuits with Moony, the four decided it was time to leave.

"Harry I wonder if I might have a word with you alone." Moony sounded serious and Harry didn't hesitate.

"Okay"

"We'll be upstairs when your ready, Harry" said Hermione as they all walked out of the kitchen and close the door behind them.

Harry looked at Mooney who had sat back down at the table, and gestured for Harry to do the same. Once Harry had sat back down Moony turned fatherly eyes on him.

"Harry I know it's not exactly my place to do this, but since James is not here, and you really need to hear this. I hope you don't mind"

"No, I'll listen to anything you have to say. Dad trusted you, and told me to seek out any remaining Marauders" Moony raised his eyebrows, as Harry said this. So Harry continued to tell him about the letter's and things that were supposed to be added to his vault at Gringot's.

"That's just like your Mother, placing a charm to promise to find Love, and your father's charm, just to even read his!" Moony gave a laugh and looked at Harry fatherly again. "Now about Love, I need to talk about. Tonks put me onto this so you can blame her!" Here Moony gave a nervous laugh and Harry smiled "I see Ginny and you are growing quite fond of each other" Moony raised a questioning eyebrow at him.

"I love her" Harry said simply, not at all embarrassed to feel the way he felt for Ginny, his Ginny.

Moony smiled "I thought as much...um...how ..err.. far...have you two gone?" If Moony was embarrassed to ask this question it was nothing compared to how Harry felt!

"We've...err...not...done hardly anything" said Harry struggling to find the right words. His neck felt suddenly hot.

"Hardly?" Moony raised his eyebrows again, and Harry blushed even further.

"Err"

"No, it's okay Harry we were all young once, you know" Moony smile at him. "Now Molly wants me to tell you to wait for marriage before going all the way," said Moony " But Arthur and I agree to just say is, to wait till you both feel it's right"

"What" Harry couldn't believe his ears. Moony was actually telling him to make love to Ginny, as long as they both felt it was right, and Mr. Weasley agreed!

"Yes, When you both feel your ready, and the time's right. But that doesn't mean to try to make it the right time Harry. These things can't be rushed especially for the women"

"Yeah, I thought that to" admitted Harry.

Moony smiled at him, "Yes, women like romance Harry, flowers, chocolates, jewelry, among many other things, of which you'll find as all women are slightly different. But you mustn't forget about the small things" Moony paused and Harry looked at him "How much do you know about the womanly body, Harry?"

Harry sat in shock and silence as Moony proceeded to give Harry a talking to about the women anatomy. Moony had made a flick of his wand to bring a ghostly sort of woman naked appear, and then went on to explain how and were to find basic nerve endings, for pleasure. Telling him way's he could make the first time better for her. Harry was glad he was leaving Ginny's name out of this conversation, as his face and neck were already red from blushing so much. Moony assured him the first time would hurt her, but it was unavoidable as the fact was she was still a virgin.

Harry sat in silence as Moony explained everything he could. Feeling weird about the conversation, even though the shadowy figure had already long been gone. He was still rather embarrassed as his mind was starting to wonder what Ginny would look like naked and at that one moment she would climax.

Harry and Moony met everyone in the library, a short time later. Hermione looked about halfway through a book, leaning up against Ron, who had his head thrown back on the sofa, sleeping, though not snoring to loud. Ginny however came over with a smile, that left Harry blushingly wondering if she knew about Moony's talk with him had been about.

"So stop by anytime you want to, and feel free to tell me what you lot are up to and Harry any question's you get, don't be afraid to ask them. I'll answer the best to my ability" Moony said smiling.

Hermione looked confused, but Ron having been woken up by Hermione, looked at the floor with mixed emotions. Harry had a suspicion that Ron had already gotten this talk from his father. Harry and Ginny he noticed were both blushing.

"Oh Moony, about those letter's and Gringot's, I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to them. To see the thing's my Mum, and Dad left there." Harry wanted to ask him this to mainly get off the current topic, because Hermione and Ron were giving looks at each other again.

"Anytime Harry, we'll get a guard ready to apparate there anytime. Just let me know when"

"Okay but it'll probably be next week sometime, Ginny's birthday is in two day's and Neville's coming up Saturday too."

"He is why?" Hermione asked.

"Oh yeah, we were so excited we forgot to tell you two we saw Neville" said Ron.

"And?" said Ginny.

"Well, he wanted to talk to me, outside the ministry so he and Luna will be stopping by

then" said Harry.

"Luna?" said Hermione.

"Yeah, Luna and Neville are a couple now to" said Ron smirking.

"We'll have to inform Mr. and Mrs. Weasley when we get back" said Hermione.

Harry nodded "Thanks Moony for...well everything" said Harry his cheeks going slightly warm again

"No problem Harry, remember any questions just ask" replied Moony.

Harry nodded waved his wand at the box, just as Hermione added her book back to the pile, and it disappeared. Hermione gasped and Harry snickered. She cut her eyes at him, and stepped into the fire, and was gone, followed by Ron, Ginny with a quick kiss, and then with a handshake from Moony followed by a knowing look, again. Harry stepped into the fire and Floo'd back to the Burrow. Horcrux number three hidden in his cloak.
