Thanks for those reviews.
Chapter 7
The Call Back
"Wow, there were four people on the phone at that time." Harry said to Hermione. They were both standing in their living room, focusing on one piece of paper.
"Anyone we know?" She asked him, wondering if it could have been someone close to them.
"Just Draco, the other names I have never heard of. And, there's one number that didn't show up, but they were on exactly at that time. I would hope a murderer would be smart enough to make sure his number wouldn't come up, or else investigators could find out who they were."
"Plus, it could be a muggle."
"Yeah, I'm going to run this upstairs, I'll bring it to Mr. Weasley tomorrow."
With that, Harry ran up the stairs and put the piece of paper in their room. He was back downstairs within two minutes. Together, they sat, awaiting the arrival of Ron. In about an hour he came home, for once using the door.
"You guys are still awake?" Ron asked a little surprised.
"Yeah we were waiting for you." Harry answered. "We wanted to know how quidditch with the guys was."
"It was fun."
"How was the food?" Hermione asked him, politely.
"The best I've ever had."
Harry cleared his throat.
"Besides you guys' I mean." Ron said, sincerely.
"Don't worry mate, I was just kidding."
It was dusk; the sun was just starting to set. Harry arrived at the Burrow around 7 o'clock, with that same piece of parchment Dobby gave him in his hand. He knocked on the door and for once, Mr. Weasley answered. He shook his hand and went inside. They sat down at the kitchen table, ready to discuss the same things as before.
"I have gotten you a list of every witch and wizard that has a cell phone." He handed the piece of parchment to Mr. Weasley. "The star next to it means they were on it in the time frame you gave me."
"Any idea which of the four people it could have been?" Mr. Weasley asked, seriously.
"I think it was the last one, where the number didn't show up because a murderer wouldn't want to be found out."
"You're right, but that means were stuck, we can't find out anything."
"Yeah we can." Harry took out his wand. He tapped it against the parchment, in the exact same place where the number should have been. Suddenly, it appeared.
"Wow," Mr. Weasley said. He kept blinking, making sure he wasn't seeing things. "Do you think we should call it?" He said, asking Harry for advice.
"If you want," Harry answered.
Arthur Weasley grabbed his cell phone and dialed the number that just appeared on the paper. He really wanted to prove he was right.
The cell phone started to ring.
"Who the hell would be calling me, here?" The person asked themselves, anger in their voice.
The cell phone read, 'Arthur Weasley'.
"What the hell, how could he be calling me?"
Harry and Mr. Weasley sat there and awaited an answer. Of course, no one did. Why would a murderer answer in the first place?"
"No good." Harry said.
"Guess not."
"I think we should give up, there obviously not a threat to anyone of us." Harry commented. "I personally still think it was muggles."
"I'll give up for now. But Harry, can I please keep the paper, just incase."
"Sure, why not."
There seemed like there was nothing more to talk about. Harry bid Mr. Weasley goodbye and aparated home. There was only two more days left for work, finally.
Work seemed to have really piled up for the past few days, everywhere in the ministry. Every employee really started to get stressed out. Harry and Hermione really did not want to go to work that Friday.
During the middle of the day, a house elf appeared in the center of the room. He seemed to be handing out some sort of envelope. As soon as Hermione got hers, she walked over to Harry, who got his right after.
"What's this?" Harry asked her. He had just started opening it, when Hermione had already read hers.
"It's some party, the whole ministry's invited."
"Oh," Harry said. He had just got his open and was starting to read through it. "Are we going to go?"
"I don't know we can see who else is going."
Yeah, I'm sure Ron and Ginny will go, they're party animals." Harry said, with a little bit of a laugh.
