Chapter six- Dumbledore knows.
Another order meeting had finished, but Albus still sat in his office, head cradled in his clasped hands. To say that he was mad was an understatement. He was livid. He looked down at the newspaper that sat in front of him, the headline staring back, mocking him.
Harry Potter, the boy who lived, Abused and Kidnapped?
Blood. Blood was the first thing that Albus had seen when he walked into Dursley home that morning. Two bodies lay in the middle of the lounge room, deep cuts adorning every part of their body. Blood sprayed onto every wall and object surrounding the room. Moving past the bodies he travelled through the house, not seeing a single thing that would indicate the boy ever lived here. Albus sighed in frustration, how could this imbecilic family lose him? He had made his orders perfectly clear. He had told them what he wanted them to, did he not? Hell, he had even gone out of his way to pay them for their troubles. Stupid muggles. Couldn't even keep an eye on the one boy that could ruin everything for him. He needed Harry back where he could keep an eye on him, he should have locked him up the second his parents were killed. Maybe then he could have groomed Harry to only rely on him. He needed a plan. He needed to get Harry back under his watchful eye and maybe, just maybe he could use one of his favourite followers to do it.
-The Borrow-
The Weasley clan plus Hermione had just arrived home from the meeting, and already the whining had started. Ron had been told during the meeting that when term went back he needed to become friends with Harry once again. But Ron of course did not want to.
"But why do I have to be friends with him mom?" He whined for the hundredth time.
"Because Ronald, we need to keep an eye on him. You know he has to face Voldemort and kill him." Mrs Weasley answered, as she entered the kitchen to prepare lunch. Ron slumped into the closest chair, putting his head against the table continuing to whine.
"But mum, he's so pathetic, slinking around, clinging to us, and pretending to be unpopular and abused." Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill and Charlie, looked at each other, all with the same thought in their head. When did their family become so backstabbing? All six of them had been in the meeting, none had talked, none had agreed with what Albus had been saying. All of them where friends with Harry. All of them knew of his home life and how much he hated his popularity.
"Now Ron, you know what we must do in order to keep with Albus's orders. We must all do our parts." Mrs Weasley answered putting a large plate full of sandwiches on the table for the group.
"Fine, but he better not follow me around as much this year, I hate having to pretend I'm poor and stupid for his sake." Mrs Weasley smiled and Ron and nodded, so proud that her son was finally giving a task form Albus to show himself. The group sat down to eat lunch, four out of ten people sitting at the table were happy following Albus's orders, the other six could not believe what they were hearing, each vowing to meet in the upstairs bedroom to talk about their next step.
-1 hour later in Bill's room-
Fred, George, Bill and Charlie were currently sitting in Bills room upstairs, waiting for the girls to arrive. At the moment they were playing a quick game of exploding snap, each within their own thoughts. During their game the door opened revealing the two girls they were waiting for, both went and sat on the bed behind Bill and Charlie, who were currently leaning against Bill's bed, watching as they finished the game. Once finished Fred packed the cards away, before all four boys turned towards the two girls on the bed. Hermione and Ginny looked at the four boys with frowns on their faces.
"How could they do this two Harry?" Charlie was the first to speak up, his thoughts becoming too loud not to voice.
"Power. Mum and Dad use to talk about how powerful Dumbledore used to be before Voldemort came into existents." Bill explained, watching as the occupants of the room shuddered of the room. "My guess is that he wants to gain that power again, and with both Voldemort and Harry out of the way he could do that. However if even Harry or Voldemort are still alive by the end of the year, they could steal that power away from him. One is loved by nearly everyone and is held in high power at the ministry even though he doesn't know it. The other is the bloody dark lord who will kill anyone to get what he wants."
"But why does he want Harry dead? Harry has always followed him, couldn't he just use his popularity to get what he wanted? I mean Dumbledore he used Harry in every other way, why not that?" Asked Hermione, the group looked at her funny, before each coming to an understanding.
"I guess he doesn't want to risk Harry realising what he's doing and try to overpower him." Ginny said, upset that this was happening and Harry didn't even know it.
"We need to…."
"…..To do something." Said Fred and George together. Everyone nodded, they needed to do something. They needed to protect the person they all thought of as a brother.
"We need someone who knows where he is, we need to get in touch with him." Added Hermione. But who could they contact, who isn't under the orders rein that they could safety talk to about Harry.
"What about Lucius?" Questioned Fred, which caused looks of question from the group. "What? We all know he hates Harry, and if anyone knows where Harry could be, we might as well try. Right?"
"That could actually be a good idea. We all know that the Death Eaters have been given an order to capture Harry at any chance, Severus mention it in the meeting." Said Hermione, already thinking of ways they could pull this without being found out. The group nodded in union, this plan could work. With the minds of Bill, Charlie and Hermione on the case, this plan could be pulled off.
"What happens if mum finds out?" Asked George cautiously, Fred nodded in agreement. The twins had always been a pain in their parent's sides, they knew this, and they didn't want another cause for their parent's displeasure. Bill looked over at his brothers, he had always seen how mum and dad had treated them. She had once told Bill that she never wanted to have twins, and they were lucky to still be a part of the family. He noticed the nights when mum stopped going to their room to say goodnight, it was the same time the twins started to act out. Bill and Charlie had tried to give the twins the love and attention that they had both received, but it didn't seem enough for the two. They wanted their parents love, and they never got it.
"We won't let anything happen to you two, trust us, we will defend you if they even think about trying anything." Stated Charlie, smiling at the twins who returned it. Bill also smiled at them completely agreeing with Charlie, he loved the twins, and he wished he could have given them the childhood they deserved, that was the one thing he regretted.
"I think we should compile our thoughts into a letter so if we do find Lucius we can get him to give it to Harry, so he can decided if he wants to meet us. I for one don't want to push him into seeing us with everything going on." Said Ginny quietly, everyone looked over at her and smiled. They had all thought that Ginny would be the one to side with their mum first because of her love for Harry. But no, she hated what her parents and Dumbledore were saying about Harry, there was no way he could be like that. She needed to find Harry and make sure he was ok, not because she loved him, but because he was the only person that treated her like an adult, not a child. Hermione got up from the bed and disappeared out the door, coming back a minute later with a piece of parchment and quill. This time she sat on the floor between Bill and Fred, placing the paper in the middle of the group.
The next hour and a half was spent writing a letter they wanted to give to Harry, all their thoughts and feelings hopefully showing through the words they had written on the page.
Our dearest Harry,
This is Hermione, Ginny, Fred George, Bill and Charlie. We don't know where you are, or if your even alive, but we want you to know that we all miss you and love you. Harry what we are about to say is because we love you, do not come back to The Borrow or Hogwarts. Dumbledore is planning something Harry, there have been meetings about trying to get you back. He wants to control you Harry, wants you to be his weapon again. Since you have disappeared he has been pissed. He wants power Harry, and you are the one who will get him power. He wants you to kill Voldemort so he can gain this power. Harry please be safe, don't do anything stupid and get yourself captured. Severus says that the Death Eaters have orders to capture you on site. Harry you must know that we are all here for you, we us writing this letter. Don't trust the others Harry's. Not even Ron. If you can please write back to us Harry. We want to know where you are and that you're safe. We love you Harry and we are all here for you.
Hermione, Ginny, Fred George, Bill and Charlie.
The group read through the letter once more, all agreeing that they were happy with what they had written. Now to try and send it to Harry, they had planned on trying to find Lucius, but what was to say that he wouldn't attack them.
"Oh! We have Hedwig!" Exclaimed Ginny. Immediately getting stranger looks from the rest of the group she knew she would have to explain. "Harry sent me a letter earlier in the holidays, Hedwig and stayed with me, because he wanted to reply. But I never did! So she's still here!" Smiles were seen all round at this statement. They knew that Hedwig always got to Harry. Hermione and Ginny grabbed the letter and left the room, going to send the letter to Harry. The boys still sat on the floor happy they may be able to help their brother in everything but blood. As usual, the twins moved closer together as they normally did when they were alone. The physical touch of each other seemed to help soothe the boys in times of trouble. Bill and Charlie smiled at this, knowing that although they craved the physical of each other they would never be sexual. Bill and Charlie knew the twins were gay, and they couldn't wait for the day they found someone to love and who loves them both.
Hey guys, im am so so so so so so so sorry that I have not updated in a while! I have been so sick lately, that I have not been able to write. But I promise I will be updating a couple of chapters over the next couple of days to make it up to you, and I hope that this chapter is the start of that sorry. I hope you guys like this chapter, it was interesting to write because I had to decide which way I wanted the light side to go, so I have decided bad. However I have chosen to make some characters good. I have read so many fanfictions where Ginny is made to be evil, so I wanted to be different. I really hope you guys like this, many more to come soon! Follow, Favourite, Review and view.
Love you all!
