Sorry to those few who were too quick. I accidentally posted day 22 before I posted day 21 Sorry to cause you confusion
mmmmmmmmm
Amelia Bones was the one that showed up to get him on this day. Harry greeted her as he entered the room without needing any introduction from Ted or Andromeda.
"Madam Bones." He nodded, "Kingsley didn't tell me you'd be coming by."
"I came to let you know that the muggle law enforcement will be given the information on your relatives on September second." She explained, "They'll be able to add the charge of abandonment since you'll have been gone for more than a month without them reporting it."
"Will they be told I'm at school?" Harry asked.
"They will." She grinned, "They'll believe that you were found by a distant relative on the twenty-fifth of July and have been in special custody gathering evidence and being seen by a mind healer. You have only just been able to get over your fear enough to tell them who hurt you. Otherwise we would have handed over the evidence much sooner."
"Good." Andromeda huffed and dabbed at her eyes.
"Unfortunately, we need you to come to the ministry to speak to some of our children's services employees." Amelia gave an apologetic smile to Harry.
Harry had already spoken to them but he knew that it meant they were getting the book from Malfoy. In fact, they had to have found it to be calling him in, "Ok, Kingsley told me to expect this."
"Do you want me to come along?" Andromeda offered.
"No, I'll be fine." Harry shook his head.
"I promise to take good care of him and not let him out of my sight." Amelia promised.
Within half an hour the two of them entered Gringotts and were taken back to the ritual room. Several goblins were standing around the table with Kingsley and Moody. They were still discussing things as Harry arrived. Moody pulled back to let Kingsley destroy it after the extra goblins left the room. As soon as Kingsley began, he stopped.
"I'm getting some interference." Kingsley observed, "I'm going to open it."
"Be careful." Harry admonished.
He reached over and flipped the cover off and disappeared. The rest of the group began to move towards the book
"Stop!" Harry called, "Its ok, the book is just showing him how Tom framed Hagrid."
"For what?" Amelia asked turning to the boy.
"Tom opened the Chamber of Secrets and killed Myrtle but blamed Hagrid's pet acromantula." Harry explained, "This is how it communicates. When he gets out, we'll destroy it another way."
"How long will it keep him?" Moody demanded.
"Not more than fifteen minutes I think." Harry shrugged, "The book can only drain his life force if he writes in it."
Kingsley was spit back into his chair, which tipped over and spilled him on the floor.
"Report!" Moody demanded of his partner.
"It showed him accusing Hagrid's pet of being the one that killed a girl." Kingsley took a deep breath.
"Which store did we start in?" Harry asked.
"Fred and George's shop." Kingsley answered, "I'm not going to be able to pull the soul fragment out of that one."
"Can anyone cast fiend fire?" Harry asked standing back as Moody helped Kingsley to his feet.
"Not in the bank!" Bogrot stated quickly.
"Nor the ministry." Amelia huffed, "To bad we don't have your basilisk."
"Basilisk?" Bogrot questioned.
"It's in the bowels of Hogwarts." Harry explained, "We could get in and kill it. All it takes in a cockerel's cry. I was planning on taking care of it when I got there."
"No, you won't." Kingsley argued, "You will not go anywhere near that thing!"
"Do you have anyone else that can speak the parseltongue password?" Harry asked sarcastically.
"Can you?" he asked, "We have removed the horcrux."
"I was able to last time. Let me try." Harry closed his eyes and pictured the snake and said open, "Did that work?"
"Yes, can't you tell?" Bogrot asked.
"It always sounds like English to me." Harry shrugged and reached up and flipped the book closed.
"Don't touch that." Kingsley yelled.
"You were fine when you touched the cover." Harry reminded him, "You must have touched a page when you opened it."
"We need to find a time that Albus will be away from the school." Moody picked up the book and put it in his pocket, "Unless you're ready for him to know."
"I am not." Harry shook his head, "When is the next Wizengamot or ICW meeting?"
"We have a meeting tomorrow with Dumbledore and the Minister." Bogrot grinned, "I think we can add a few things onto the agenda if we can get a team in to port out the remains after its dead."
"What part do you want?" Harry asked slightly disgusted.
"Basilisk meat is a delicacy for goblins." He explained, "We'll port it out and process the whole carcass including packaging in exchange for the meat."
"Who gets the rest?" Harry asked.
"You will." Amelia nodded, "We can't get to it without you. I only ask for the skin. A vest made of that skin could save a live.
"How about a shed skin?" Harry asked, "It's almost as large as the actual snake."
"Depends on how old it is." She shrugged, "Do you think there's enough between the two for a vest?"
"There's enough skin for that." Harry grinned wickedly.
"What supplies do you need?" Bogrot asked.
"Something to get back out from deep under Hogwarts." Harry began, "A cockerel, some of the restorative draught in case someone gets petrified and hand-held mirrors. Then what ever you need to get it back out."
"Mirrors?" Bogrot asked.
"We don't want to be looking at it when it comes but we want to know it's there." Harry shrugged.
"Now all we need is to not get caught." Kingsley sighed.
"I think I know a way around that." Harry grinned mischievously.
Bill showed up but looked at Harry as if he was crazy when he made the request, "You just want me to go to the Burrow and ask the twins to give you the special packet of parchment they're holding for you?"
"They'll know what I'm talking about." Harry insisted.
"Please hurry." Amelia added.
"Ok." Bill agreed with a shake of his head as he left the room. He entered the nearest floo and landed in the living room of the burrow.
"Bill, have you come for a late lunch?" Molly asked when he found her.
"No actually, I need to speak to Fred and George." Bill smiled and hugged his mother.
"They're in the orchard. Is this more of what you took them for a few weeks ago?" she asked.
"Sort of." He waved her off, "They've really intrigued the goblins with some of their ideas."
"Really?" Molly asked, "I didn't think… maybe they can work for Gringotts in the future."
"Sorry mum but I've got to hurry." Bill left her there to think on the twin's future.
Luckily all four of the youngest were coming back in as he opened the door. He greeted them as they filed in. Ginny gave him a hug and went to get a snack from their mother, it was the reason they were coming in and not still flying.
"What are you doing here?" Fred asked.
"That friend of yours that we saw at Gringotts a few weeks ago needs something from you." Bill sighed feeling stupid, "He said a packet of parchment you're holding for him?"
"I'll get it." George offered knowing he wanted the map.
"Why are they…" Ron began but bit his lip looking at his mother and sister in the kitchen.
"I don't know what's going on." Bill admitted, "Madam Bones is in the group this time."
George returned and handed it over, "Tell him we'll get it back on the train."
"Are you sure?" Fred asked.
"Positive." Ron answered, "It will be in the best hands."
"Is this really something special?" Bill asked.
George made sure his mother was preoccupied before pulling his wand, tapped the parchment and whispered, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
"What?" Bill gasped as writing appeared on the paper, "What is this?"
"I'll explain later." Ron pushed at him, "If he needs it get it to him."
Bill left and the three boys glanced at each other worried about why Harry was going to Hogwarts today, who was with him and what exactly was happening. Bill on the other hand was giving the map over to the boy.
"What is that?" Amelia asked.
"Marauders Map." Harry opened it up, "It shows who is there and where they are going."
"Who are these marauders?" Kingsley asked looking the map over.
"My dad and his friends." Harry grinned, "They created this while they were still at Hogwarts. I'm not sure what year though."
"I remember them using those nicknames." Amelia grinned, "Always wondered why."
"Dad was Prongs because he was an animagus stag." Harry grinned, "Sirius is a dog and Pettigrew is a rat."
"That leaves Remus Lupin to be Moony." She nodded, "Animagus wolf I take it."
"Sort of." Harry brushed over it, "Dumbledore is in his office pacing. He does that a lot."
"That's how we can get Fudge to call for a trial." Kingsley grinned, "He is unregistered, isn't he?"
"Yes." Harry answered, "And while checking his records to see if it was brought up in his old trial, you'll realize he never had one."
"We're required by law to remedy that so Fudge can't stop us." Amelia grinned, "Ok I'll start on that this afternoon and tomorrow we'll storm the castle."
"How did it go at the manor?" Harry asked.
"Very well." Moody chuckled, "We got in and found Malfoy asleep by the fire. When he wakes from his nap, he'll find himself in a cell. We found his death eater mask and robe clean and ready to use, hung in a place of honor in his dungeon. The book was in his study and an array of many dark artifacts, potions and books were found in a hidden room behind the fire place."
"Narcissa arrived home with Draco as we were carting things from the hidden room." Kingsley added, "She claimed no knowledge of the room or the items. We don't believe her but she wouldn't have had the power to make Lucius get rid of anything. The Malfoy assets have been frozen. I told her I know of someone looking for a house elf or two if she needed some money."
"And?" Harry asked in anticipation.
"I will be moving three hundred galleons from your vault to her's which didn't get frozen but has very little in it." Bogrot grinned, "Dobby will be waiting at the bank tomorrow and is promised to be in excellent health."
