Chapter 13

A Snitch Caught

Ivy and I weren't friendly for a while after that. In fact, we avoided the very ground one another walked on.

What was very weird was, that me and Drosie were actually getting…closer? She had stopped calling me "Pothead" or "Potty" and started just calling me "Potter." while I started calling her just "Drosie" instead of "Her Royal Pain in the Highness."

It was two weeks since I had agreed to Harry that I'd help him with his Horcrux hunt, and he had sent Kreacher away to find Mundungus Fletcher, he was the one who had taken the real Horcrux that Kreacher nicked when the Weasley clan, Harry, Hermione, Ivy and I had helped clean out the house, with Sirius' help, of course.

Anyways, I was sitting with Drosie and Harry when I heard the familiar sound of the locks clicking.

"Did you hear that?" I said, standing up.

Harry nodded and drew his.

I turned to Drosie, who had gasped with fear "Well, don't just sit there, get your wand out!" I ordered, drawing my wand and running into Emily's room "Emily!" I called, sticking my head in. "Get your wand, we have an intruder! Prepare for a fight."

I looked over my shoulders and heard Harry telling Ron and Hermione to get their wands. When I had looked back, I saw that Ivy was with Emily.

"Ivy." I said coldly as Harry rushed down the stairs.

Ivy looked away as I followed Harry downstairs.

"Anything yet?" I asked.

"Yeah, listen." Harry whispered.

I heard Moody's voice hiss "Severus Snape?" and the familiar rush from Old Dusty (the dusty corpse thingy that we killed when Drosie and I arrived.)

"It was not I who killed you, Albus." a calm, familiar voice said.

I gaped "Remus!" I said.

Everyone dropped their guard except Harry and I.

We were all quiet for a moment before I decided to bite the bullet and said "Who goes there?"

Remus stepped forward, hands raised and said "I am Remus John Lupin, werewolf, married to Nymphadora, who commonly goes by Tonks and I taught you to produce a Patronus, Harry and Hannah, which for Harry takes the form of a stag and for Hannah takes the form of a doe."

I sighed and tucked my wand away as everyone did the same.

"Sorry, we had to check, didn't we?" Harry asked.

"Speaking as your former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, I would say it would have been adequate." Remus said, taking off his grizzled cloak.

"Hey, Remus!" I said happily "Long time, no see!"

"Hello, Hannah." Remus said "You gave everyone a scare at the wedding, young lady. Where on earth were you?"

I swallowed, not really wanting to tell him about the fact that Draco saved me from being caught by Death Eaters.

"I was one of the early escapees." I lied, smiling "I guess nobody noticed I had left."

"Oh." Remus said, sitting down and pulling out Butterbeers for everyone.

"I wish you'd all stop treating me like I was five years old, I'm perfectly of age, I can take care of myself." I said, huffing as I sat down.

"So, did you all meet up here after the wedding?" Remus said, ignoring my statement.

"No, we met up with a couple of Death Eaters on Tottingham Court Road." Harry said, making Remus slop some Butterbeer down his front.

"What?" he asked.

Harry explained what had happened after him, Ron, Ivy and Hermione had left the wedding. They had gone to a café to discuss their next plan, and they (like me) had ran into some Death Eaters in the café and duelled them before they came to Grimmauld Place.

I told Remus what had happened when I left about Rae-Anne and her Death Eater buddies in the diner wherever I was, about saving Drosie and hanging around in a forest in Surrey.

"Well, you lot must surely have been busy." Remus said before he told us what happened to everyone else.

Most people had escaped safely, but other people were all interrogated over where I was. They had used the Cruciatus Curse on Tonks' family, and had burned down Deadulus Diggle's house. Thankfully, nobody died.

I sighed in relief, then paled "Are you sure no deaths? On either side?" I asked.

"Positive." Lupin said.

I sighed in relief, meaning it this time. Draco was safe…for the time being.

Remus looked out of it that day, looking around and asking Harry what he was told to do by Dumbledore.

"Just something to get rid of him." Harry said. "Ron and Hermione are helping me."

"Then why not have me help? Dumbledore wouldn't have minded, being your former Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher." Lupin said, smiling.

I gaped "What about Tonks?" I asked.

"What about her?" Lupin asked.

"You're married, aren't you? Would she like it if you ran off to be with Harry and us?" I asked.

"She's at her parents'." Remus said, looking down. "She'll be fine."

There was a silence for a couple of minutes before Remus said the news.

"Tonks is going to have a baby."

I gaped. "Whoa!" I said excitedly.

"Congratulations!" the girls squealed.

"Good on you." Ron said.

I was shocked. Too shocked to listen to the conversation. Tonks was pregnant? With Remus' child? And Remus was willing to run off and ditch the baby? I definitely would not have. In fact, I was jealous of Tonks.

I would have loved her life. Married, a family a perfect career and the perfect husband. I couldn't have had that. I couldn't marry Draco, or have a baby, or get a job. My main goal was staying alive at the moment. I was on the verge of death at the hands of the person who killed my parents.

"Think of it, the person who taught me to fight Dementors…a coward." Harry said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

Remus shot up and drew his wand at Harry, singeing a hole in his shirt before walking out.

"Remus, Remus, come back!" Hermione shouted before the door slammed.

"Well, that was classy, Harry!" Emily snapped "He could have helped us!"

"Hey, you aren't part of this, you stay out of it!" Ivy said.

"I'm with Ravenwood on this one." Ron and Hermione said together.

"I'm with Harry. Remus should be with his family!" Ivy said "Han?"

I turned to Harry "Hmm? I wasn't really listening."

"Should Remus be running around with us trying to destroy Horcruxes? Or should he be with his family?" Drosie asked. "I agree with Potter, the werewolf should be with his family."

I nodded "They have a point, guys." I said, standing with the group.

"Perfect, Harry, now you just single handedly screwed us for any help! Remus will never talk to us again!" Ron shouted.

I huffed and went upstairs, taking my wand and drink with me as I threw myself down on my bed, taking Alejandro and my dragon with me.

"This war officially sucks." I said, lying down and shutting my eyes.

I woke up to the sound of a CRACK in the hall downstairs and the sound of Kreacher's voice and a new voice.

"Kreacher has brought the sneak thief, Mundungus Fletcher, Master Harry." Kreacher said.

"Thank you, Kreacher." Harry said as I shot up, grabbing my wand and running downstairs.

And sure enough, I saw Kreacher with a frying pan and the basset hounded face of Mundungus Fletcher.

"YOU!" I screamed, stomping down the stairs and pointing my wand in his face and using Hermione's words for Draco "You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach! YOU ALMOST KILLED ME, YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

"Hannah, no!" Harry said as I started to make to knock him out "We need him awake for this. Now," he said to Fletcher "where is it?"

"What? I don't know what you're talking about?" Fletcher asked, Kreacher knocking him on the head with the frying pan.

"Kreacher, if he needs convincing, you'll do the honours." Harry said, smiling to Kreacher, who thanked Harry. "Now, there was a locket in here when you were pillaging this house. Where is it?"

"Why? It worth something?" Mundungus asked.

"Probably wants to know what he should have asked for it." I growled "Little prick."

"Sold it. More like bartered it, what with the way that Ministry witch was looking at me and threatening me."

"Ministry witch?" I asked, my rage diminishing briefly.

"Yeah, I was minding me own business when I saw this broad walking towards me. She asked me if I had me self a permit and started looking through me stuff. She said that she'd walk the other way if I handed over the locket and to think me self lucky." Fletcher explained, looking to me, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ivy, who all had their wands on him.

"What'd she look like?" I demanded, glaring into his eyes.

"Toad faced, little lady with a black bow." Fletcher said.

My friends and I all looked to each other and paled. We all knew who that woman was.

"And I thought I was done with my aunt." Ivy swore "Shit!"

My stomach gave a sickening lurch. We had to grab the Horcrux from our least favourite person aside from Voldemort.

Our former DADA professor Dolores Jane Umbridge.

A/N: Hey, sorry it took so long to update, I was so busy in the last while I couldn't manage to get to my laptop. I'm really, really sorry about that. So, anyways, on to your questions. Come on out Draco, Harry and Ivy.

(All walk out)

Han: Ok, this first question's from Willow In the Wind for Draco and I.

Draco: Naturally. All want to know about the Drannah.

Han: Shut up, Draco. All right, our question is what is the hardest part of being away from each other.

Draco: *scoffs* Really? That's an easy one. The hardest part of being away from my Spitfire is that I don't know if she's safe or not. I worry.

Han: Awe! Dragon, that's so sweet. Well, Willow, the hardest thing about being away from Draco is that. I can't stand being away from Draco.

Draco: Draco Malfoy for the win!

Harry: Shut up, Malfoy!

Han: Boys, boys! This next question is for all of us. Harry?

Harry: Yeah?

Han: This is from the Sixth Kuchiki. If we were in a life or death situation, would you save me or Ron?

Harry: Sorry, Ron, you're my best mate and I love you to pieces, but I'd have to save my sister.

Han: *beams* Ok, Kuchiki, my question is if I would save Draco or Harry. I would save neither. I'd sacrifice myself so they'd get away safely.

Draco: And I'd go back, then and save your sorry ass.

Han: And Draco, would you save me or your mother?

Draco: Uh…My mother loves you so…she'd probably tell me to save you.

Han: Awe! Now, V?

Ivy: Yeah?

Han: You have two questions!

Ivy: Sweet, I'm popular!

Draco: Not as popular as my Spitfire.

Han: Cool it. Ivy, Kaela wants to know where you'd want to go and what you'd want to go on a date with Blaise?

Ivy: Uh…I don't really know. Maybe go to a Quidditch Match for Puddlemere United. Play Quidditch. Next question?

Han: Dream lightning wants to know what kind of friend you are.

Ivy: Well, I'm the sort of loyal protective friend who'd do anything for her sisters, and she'd kill anyone who'd hurt them. I have good intentions but I don't really carry them out the way I wanted to.

Han: and this last question's for me from Anya O'Field. She wants to know about my element control. I do only notably control fire and water…but earth and air. I really don't know how to channel those elements very well, so they rarely come out of me. So there y'all go. All your questions answered. Feel free to keep asking questions and I apologize again for taking so long answering them and updating. Oh, and I have a new contest. I need a name for Hannah's dragon, it desperately needs one. The winner of the contest gets what they want in my story (within reason) Keep reviewing and updating! Sorry for the delay again.
