The next morning, Harry woke up to find a brown, farm owl pecking at his fingers. Harry peeled the envelope open and read the note,
Dear Harry,
I heard you went te Grimmuld place yesterday and I was just wondring whether you wud come down today to see me in me hut. Buckbeaks happy and everything's still the same.
See ye tonight,
Hagrid
Harry went next door to see Ron, still snoring in bed his mouth wide open, saliva sifting out onto his pillow. Harry smiled. Suddenly Fred's head peered sneeringly through the door. A thin lace was swinging from his hand.
"Shhh, we thought you were Hermione, sorry… we hoped to catch them in the act… but it was only Ron…. Don't you worry, we'll be back…"
Harry went back to his room and got dressed into his black robes. He was about to go downstairs, when he noticed, Kreacher had not been seen. He ran down the stairs, and bumped into Mrs Weasley.
"Where's Kreacher?" he asked a tone of impatience hovering in his voice.
"He's upstairs in the cupboard… well at least he was a minute ago… "
Harry climbed the stairs and called Kreacher.
"You called?" Kreacher's innocent voice answered.
"Kreacher… You are, on my orders going to tail Snape, like you did to Malfoy last year. Dobby will also help you."
Dobby suddenly apparated and Harry turned.
"Dobby will do anything for Harry Potter, I have even located Snape, for you. Are you sure you would like me to follow him with Kreacher?"
Dobby and Kreacher dissaperated.
