Chapter 2
Meanwhile back at the Weasley's Ron and Hermione were alerted that Harry hadn't read their letter. They knew this thanks to a spell that Arthur had put on it to help to alleviate some of their worries. This made them worried as it had been nearly 3 weeks since they last heard from him and usually he was with them by this time. They took their worries to Molly and Arthur who reassured them that Dumbledore would know and let them know if there were any problems but they would contact him to ask anyway.
Reassured Ron and Hermione left to think about Harry and how they can best help him when they do see him. A few hours later they were called down as Molly had heard back from Dumbledore. Both of them ran down the stairs noisily waking up Ginny and the twins who stuck their heads out and shouted at their retreating backs. Hearing them before she could see them molly turned around and changed her face from a concerned one to a neutral one. She gave them Dumbledore's letter. The letter said "Dear Molly, Thank you for you letter raising concerns about Harry. I've had a few members of staff alert me to their ward alarms being triggered. I'm going round there this evening to see if he's in danger and to bring him out of there. If he needs medical attention he will need to stay here at Hogwarts with me and Poppy however if not can you take him over the rest of the summer? Please let me know by return of this owl. Many Thanks Albus Dumbledore."
Molly told Ron and Hermione, that she had written back and said that they would be more than willing to take Harry in for the summer. Ron stood up and yelled "why only if he's in danger, why not any way." He then started to storm away but Hermione grabbed his arm and gently told him "Ron the fact that other professors ward alarms have gone off shows that more people are worried we need to trust Dumbledore." She then pulled him into a gentle hug and they walked out hand in hand. Upstairs Ron was silent, he appeared to be deep in thought and the look on his face worried Hermione. She knelt down in front of him and encouraged him to look at her. She took his hands in hers and looked into his eyes and said "Look Ron I know you worried I am too but Dumbledore will let us know of any developments soon"
Back at Hogwarts Dumbledore was waiting for Molly's reply. He had already called Poppy to his office using the floo network. He informed Poppy that not only did she raise concerns but other staff members had also. He was now going to Mrs Figgs house to find Harry via the Leaky Cauldron. Arriving at the Leaky Cauldron Dumbledore stepped out the fire, found Tom and booked a room for himself and Harry so that they would have somewhere to stay the night unless Harry was really unwell. He then stepped back into the flames and threw some more floo powder down and said "Arabella Figg". Mrs Figg looked up in surprise as the figure of Dumbledore stepped out of her fire. She quickly recovered and offered him a cup of tea. Dumbledore politely declined before moving on to explain his presence.
"I've come to look for our young Mr Potter" he started while sitting himself down. "I've had many people raise concerns about his well-being and to be honest I am slightly more than concerned also. Snape, Sprout, Hooch, Poppy and McGonagall were all able to help me to place wards on him so we were able to know if there were any concerns and problems. Unfortunately all these alarms have been triggered tonight but we are not sure to the extent that Harry is injured. Snape detected some self inflicted injuries, Sprout detected toxic substances being consumed but as of yet we are unsure of what these are, Hooch detected some muscle strain and a bout of over exercising. Poppy detected that Harry has been very sick over the past few days and has not been eating enough to deal with what he had lost through being ill. McGonagall was able to use a spell that detects if glimmers are put in place and has told me each day that the glimmer Harry is using is getting more and draining his magic. Also the Weasley's have alerted me to concerns that they have had through his non replies to their letters. I'm here now to identify what danger he might be in, what state he is and how we as a team can best help him. Although I fear that I might have to remove him to Hogwarts."
Mrs Figg stood there taking it all in and informed him that she had seen Harry two hours previously, running down the road with bloody arms and a bag of something in his hands. But she also pointed out that she was watching out for him and he hadn't returned. Dumbledore wordlessly took out his wand and used a point me spell to find Harty. Telling Mrs Figg to get some blankets ready for when he came back with Harry.
