A/N: Well i can tell interest in this fic is probably dropping, i will keep it going as long as one review reaches me each chapter. I am soooo sorry for the Long wait, I had some serious family issues and i ran out of ideas. If you like Evangelion Check out my new fanfic The Ultimate Angel:Changing time itself, Which is also rated M. Now after you have all been SO Patient, let us continue.
It had been 4 days since there trip to Diagon ally, and nothing exciting really happened. Most of the girls kept researching on R.A.B in a hope of finding a clue to the locket. As for Harry, his days were almost the exact same each time. Wake up, quietly get out of bed without waking which ever girl has slept in his bed now making it harder to get up early, and then finally go with Ron to set up the new house. He still couldn't believe how much it had costed considering the usually cheap prices in the wizarding world, but he figured it was mostly for historical significance, but it defiantly made a dent in his vault.
Sighing harry slowly slid down out of the bed breathing a sigh of relief as the most Hermione did was frown at the movement. Placing the blanket better over her he quietly slipped out the door, and with a quick shower he left down stairs for an early breakfast if he could find something. Making his way into the kitchen he was surprised to find, Tonks, Neville and Cho already up.
Slipping into a chair everyone looked at him rather surprised. Tonks finally smiled "Wotcher Harry, Your up early again it seems." He gave a small nod before she gave him a few pieces of toast.
Neville smiled slightly "She tried to make more of a breakfast but it ended up burnt." Harry couldn't help but laugh but stopped when Tonks gave a childish pout. Smirking at her victory over the kind Wizard she sat next to him with a sigh "So..where have you and Ron been running off to?"
Harry froze up for a moment before smiling slightly "Oh..you know..doing research..." Tonks stared at him questioningly but sighed...not like Harry would tell her if he didn't want to. "fine fine don't tell me..." She grumbled something before leaving the room.
He noticed the paper sitting rolled up on the table and slowly picked it up staring at the title.
Harry Potter kidnaps assistant teacher?
by; Reginald drea
A few days ago a new assistant teacher to Professor Flitwick went missing. The young girl in question, Young Cho Chang disappeared without a trace, aurors could find no evidence of a struggle and no traces of magic. A student, although half asleep when he noticed it stated he thought he saw Harry Potter taking the girl from the Ravenclaw dorm room. If this is to be believed she may have been placed under the imperious curse.
If harry Potter is to blame for this crime who will save us from voldemort? Has are young Hero gone to the dark? Do we have a chance against two dark lords?
Harry groaned pushing the paper from him "dammit!" Neville looked strangely at him for a moment before moving to look at the headline.
"they think you took Cho Harry?" with a groan and nod Neville sighed "I can't believe they think that! Maybe she should write a letter?"
Shaking his head harry sighed "They would just say i have her under the Imperious curse or something...We'll just have to deal with it for now."
When the rest of the crew woke up and finished breakfast harry and Ron once again sneaked out by Floo when no one was looking. Popping up in the Leaky Cauldron, they apparated from Diagon ally to the outside of the House.
Grinning Ron walked in the front door followed by Harry "I Can't Wait to tell mum i have my own place, and its so big!" When Harry glared at him he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head "What i meant to say..is that we have are own place..." When Harry persisted he sighed "Alright alright! We are living in YOUR home" They both finally smirked and went about decorating, many of the rooms held the potter crest in more then one places."Hey harry, should we decorate the girls rooms?"
Shaking his head harry smiled "They would find something about it to hex us about...leave it up to them..." He didn't have the heart to tell Ron neither Ginny or Hermione really needed a room...and if he had it his way he'd never know..he'd have them decorate a room whether they used it or not.
It took a few hours but they finally had most of the house done, thanks to levitation spells, light as a feather spells and instant delivery from random wizarding stores. Groaning Harry slipped into a comfy leather chair they had put in the study "Ugh...all thats left is the library and a few things here and there...where are we supposed to get the books?"
Ron groaned hitting the floor lightly sprawled out "How am i supposed to Bloody know? That library is pretty big, and buying all the books for it would probably cost more then the house!" He knew he was exaggerating but of course it would still be expensive.
Sighing harry nodded "Well..we could take Grimmauld places books...after that we will only have to buy like...half of them" Ron nodding slightly and groaned. "Alright..back to Grimmauld, time to tell the girls."
Once they returned to the old house Harry and Ron quietly and secretly Packed all the books up into chests and shrunk them. How they managed to sneak even one book out with Hermione in the house was beyond there comprehension. Ron finally sighed "Wait..we cant Floo there yet, the letter from ministry hasn't come yet..." Groaning the two slumped into kitchen chairs, once again everyone seemed to be packed into the study with the books not stolen by Harry and Ron, except for Luna who was sleeping at the kitchen table.
It was a good hour before they received the letter and finally they both smirked "Right, Ron go get everyone, I'll meet you at the fire place." Finally after Ron gathered all the confused teens, and order members hanging around he smiled "Line up in front of the fire place" they all groaned and assembled into a semi-straight line before Hermione spoke up.
"How are we going to find the initials if you take us places!" Chuckling harry shook his head "Don't worry Hermione just listen.." Groaning she sighed in defeat...she never fought with Harry like with Ron..to Ron's disgust. One by one he filled there hands with floo powder, gave the address to them and they disappeared with a confused look. Finally Ron left, followed by Harry once he called his dragon from it's mini-den.
Harry appeared in the Giant entrance Hall to an entire group of completely stunned faces. Mrs Weasley suddenly looked angry as she glared at her son "What did you do! We can't just break into someone's home! This must have costed them a fortune!"
Smiling Harry came up beside Ron who looked like he was pleading for assistance "Actually...it did cost me a fortune Mrs. Weasley" She looked at him with utter confusion before gasping.
"Harry! A-are you saying that you bought this house!" This caught almost everyones attention. Ginny looked giddy, Hermione suddenly glared "Harry, you can't just go and buy a house like that!" Tonks watched Amused at the whole incident figuring he bought it mostly to get away from the painful memory of sirius.
Tilting his head he smiled "Why? We need a new place...and this can be are base of operations to! We set up a room for Battle plans and meetings!" Hermione seemed impressed with his preparations and made no more protests after he showed her the size of the library that would be filled with books.
The group broke up to search the mansion while Ron and harry placed the Books they stole in the shelves at that back of the library. "Well Harry, looks like we have to buy about 3/4's of the books actually..."
With a nod they headed back into the entrance Hall. Meviso snorted slightly looking up at Harry "Where do i stay Young Master" Harry blinked before smiling "Theres a Huge owlry in the attic, i split it in half to give you a nice large Den" With an appreciative nod the silver dragon headed for it's new home.
When the group reformed in the Hall they were all absolutely excited to be able to live in the new home, except a few who were still upset about him spending this kind of money. "i still can't believe you did this harry!" Mrs. Weasley's complaints fell on deaf ears compared to Ginny's appreciative words as she hugged Harry.
Chuckling slightly Harry returned Ginny's hug "Well looks like we have to take another trip to Diagon ally for things to decorate are individual rooms." Some people nodded and Moody grunted "And what are you going to do for protection of this place?"
Tilting his headHarry considered that fact as he gripped his staff "Well it already has Charms to keep muggles away, so i thought i would just look up some spells and have Talon help me cast them on the house."
Leaning on his own staff Talon smiled "Well you certainly do think things out don't you Harry? You make me Proud" Moody looked suspiciously at Talon for a moment "Harry how do you know we can trust the guy? Constant Vigilance!"
Considering it for a moment Harry smiled "No, i trust him completely...But i do understand where your coming from. Well, Go pick your rooms! Except for the master bedroom on the top floor that ones mine!" Almost instantly the group scattered, except for Hermione, Talon and Cho.
Cho sighed slightly "Hey Harry? Do they actually think you kidnapped me?" With his nod she gave another little sigh "They blame everything on you it seems..."
Shrugging Harry smiled "Oh don't worry about it, i'm used to it. anyway Hermione i have a special treat for you!" At her confused look he smiled "Well that library needs filling and..." He didn't even have to finish she was already at the fireplace. "Hey Talon? Do you know any Book stores that have some rarer books?"
Thinking it over for a moment he nodded slowly. "Yes actually i think i have the perfect place, we can aparate there to. Gringo's Books: For the eccentric Reader. Since you two don't know what the place looks like we will just floo."
A few Minutes later they were assembled at a fire place that looked more like a library with no people then a store. In seconds Hermione and Cho was gone right after Harry said They could buy any books They wanted.
Approaching the counter where an old goblin sat he blinked "Excuse me where do you keep your Harder to find books?" The goblin slowly looked up at him before pointing to a dark section of the store, handing him a lantern before returning to staring at the desk.
Slowly nodding he took the lantern heading off with Talon close behind. "What kind of books should i get?" Examining a few titles in the dim light Talon smiled "All kinds harry, All kinds" Within his time in the long row of books he picked out Many different kinds of advanced books, from everything from Potions to Transfiguration.
He picked up a few older more forgotten books that looked interesting but finally a strange book with a very dark cover caught his eye 'Learning the Complete art of a Necromancer.' Looking over his shoulder Talon looked strangely Serious "You should take that book Harry...Necromancy is a lost art...how this book got here i have no idea, but you cant let it stay here"
Nodding slowly he removed it from the shelf finally happy with his choices he returned to the front of the store. Compared to the amount of books Hermione picked out his looked like scrap paper. She must have gathered half the store! With Cho's help at least.
Seeing Harry's face the girls smiled talking in unison which really freaked him out...they were both such book worms "What? To many books?"
Shaking his head he smiled "Nah" Walking up to the old Goblin he blinked a few times when he didn't even bother to acknowledge him "Excuse me Sir, How much for all these books." He watched the Old Goblin look at the excess of books carefully, like he was mentally taking in each and every one and simply stated that the price was 100,000 Galleons...which seemed quite fair.
"Is that it?" When the goblin made no response he sighed and turned "Well let's get these books out of here" Shrinking the Necromancer Book he placed it in his robes helping to shrink the other books to stuff in the other's pockets.
When they arrived back at the Potter Manor they thankfully helped talk the others into helping them place books in shelves, and even with there large amount of Man Power it took almost an hour. Finally done Mrs. Weasley sighed "Well I'll start dinner then" She was rather happy that she found a fully stocked Kitchen.
The group slowly split, Ron and Harry exploring all the halls and passages. "Well Harry this is quite a base." Walking into there teams meeting room he slipped into one of the chairs leaning back smirking as he pointed to the head chair which was a throne. "Getting ahead of are selves are we Lord Potter?" They both chuckled before Harry Sat in the chair next to his friend "Only appropriate."
Harry Blinked as Hedwig flew in through the open door landing on the table with a letter attached. Unwrapping it he noticed it was from Professor McGonagoll.
Dear Harry,
Harry, even though you have been accused of kidnapping Cho Chang which i do not believe for an instant i must ask a favor of you. The new defense against the dark arts teacher has disappeared, and despite the fact you did not finish hogwarts i must ask you to please fill in the position until a new one can be found. If you can not agree to this i will understand.
Headmistress of Hogwarts
McGonagoll.
