Chapter 6. At Grimmauld's Place.

That didn't take a long time.

Mrs. Weasley opened and screamed.

'HARRY!!' She shrieked.

Stumbling was heard and more people came to see what seemed to be the problem.

'HARRY!'

A bushy haired witch came in to view and she too seemed speechless.

A red haired boy came too and he looked as if he had been asked to swallow human blood.

Another red haired came, but this was an adult. 'Harry?'

Harry nodded.

Mr. Weasley pulled Harry in, together with Sell and Yazz and his trunk.

'Harry, what happened?'

At least he seamed to be reasonable, Harry thought.

He drew breath, and Mr. Weasley interrupted him immediately.

'No one will speak before he is done. Go on, Harry.'

Harry smiled sadly and then told his story.

'I had a huge row with the Dursley's and I left. After a couple of hours, I was suddenly attacked by Deatheathers.'

Some of the people in the room drew breath, Harry choose to ignore them.

'I managed to get them of, but I panicked and didn't knew what to do, so I came to Dumbledore by the Knightbus.'

Mr. Weasley seemed to calm himself before he spoke again.

'Dumbledore isn't here at the moment, but it was good of you to come here.'

'WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE'S NOT HERE!'

Harry panicked again. Although he had been loathing the headmaster all summer, he needed him at the moment, so why wasn't he?

'Harry, dear, please-' Mrs. Weasley started, but Harry interrupted her.

'I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! I need to know right now where he is! I need to speak to him!'

Mr. Weasley took him to the living room before he talked again.

'Harry, Dumbledore is at the Ministry, trying to figure this thing out-'

'Let's go then!' Harry had lost all reason now. He needed to get the Aurors now and have them chasing those Deatheathers.

'Harry, sit down!' Mr. Weasley said in a strict tone he had not used before to Harry.

Harry, surprised by the tone, sat down and looked at Mr. Weasley.

'First things first,' He started. 'Harry, who are those girls?'

Harry looked astonished to Mr. Weasley.

Who was he talking about, he first thought when he suddenly remembered them.

'Oh no, Sell and Yazz… They were with me during the attack. They got Stunned.'

Mr. Weasley immediately got up and awakened them before Harry could say they were Muggles.

'Enervate.' Mr. Weasley said, undoing the Deatheather's spell.

Sell was the first to move again. She opened her eyes and Harry saw that she too panicked again, like she had done the night before.

She was looking straight towards the deheaded house-elves and her eyes widened in shock.

She screamed and then screamed again when she saw Yazz laying next to her, with a bit of blood on her forehead.

'YAZZ!' Sell hadn't noticed the group of people around her.

'YAZZ!' Sell yelled again and she shook her friend's body roughly.

Finally Yazz opened her eyes, but the first thing she saw was a gigantic stuffed snake, so she too screamed of shock.

She jumped up, followed by Sell and then they both saw the group of people staring at them.

Their eyes ran up and down the row, but they didn't recognise any of them, until Harry suddenly came into view.

'Harry!' They said relieved. 'Where are we? What is this, who are they!'

They asked many questions, but Harry couldn't answer them before he told the others who they were really.

'Mr. Weasley, they aren't of our kind.' He whispered silently, in the hope that the two girls didn't hear him.

Unfortunately for him, they did.

'We aren't of your kind?!' Sell said aloud.

Harry looked at them guiltily.

Busted, Sell thought.

The others around them didn't understand what was going on.

'Not of our-' The brown-haired girl started, but suddenly her eyes opened.

'Harry!' She said. The others didn't really follow yet.

'How could you? How can they, how-'

Mr. Weasley looked from Harry to the girl.

'What do you mean, Hermione?'

Hermione's eyes travelled to those of the adult man.

'They are-' She said, while her voice turned to a mere whisper.

'Muggles.'

All the persons in the room immediately drew breath.

Sell had heard what she had said.

Muggles, She thought. Again Muggles. First with the owl and now here, what are Muggles!

She spoke those last three words aloud.

All the persons in the room looked to her, Yazz included.

There was a pressing silence for a moment, which was broken by Ron.

'That can't be…' He said suddenly.

All attention went to him now.

'What do you mean?' Hermione shrieked. She seemed to be panicked beyond reality.

Harry's eyes turned to her, looking surprised.

'Well-' Ron started, he didn't seemed taken aback by Hermione's reaction.

'How can they be Muggles?'

Hermione sighed loudly and Harry noticed they were going to fight again.

'Alright, quit it, both of you! Ron, why couldn't they be?'

The two girls were watching the scene, as if they weren't part of it.

As if it was a film being played in front of their eyes.

Ron drew breath and said: 'They can't be, cause if they were, they wouldn't be able to see the HQ due to the protection Dumbledore putted on it, right?'

Everybody remained quiet for a moment and just when Mr. Weasley was going to speak again, a little "poof" was heard and an old man appeared out of thin air.

Sell and Yazz didn't scream or move. They were petrified of fear and weren't able to find their minds nor their ability to speak.

'Harry,-' The old man said, who hadn't noticed the fear and angst on the other inhabitants of the HQ.

'Luckily you are here. The Ministry is already informed of the attack of the Deatheaters and Aurors are already on to it.
No charges will be-'

He stopped as he saw the fear in Mr. Weasley's eyes.

'Arthur, what's wrong?'

Mr. Weasley seemed speechless, but his eyes told the story.

Dumbledore was performing Legillimency, Harry thought.

He felt the strange urge to yell to Mr. Weasley that he had to close his eyes, but was too shocked of the Apparating in front of the girls, to even make one sound. He barely dared to breathe.

'There… There…' Mr. Weasley's eyes averted towards the two girls and Dumbledore followed the glance.

The girls saw how the old man was very much surprised, cause he even stumbled a few steps back.

'By Merlin's beard…' He said breathless.

'I can't believe it…'

AN: What's going on? Dumbledore is surprised, but why is he breathless? Review and you will read J
