Harry and Hermione held hands as they apparated onto Grimmauld Street; they let Ron follow them. Once they appeared from the thin crisp air, Harry quickly pulled the invisibility cloak over the three of them to hide them from muggles. They reached a little space between two houses that was like nothing was there then Harry had remembered that there was a note Dumbledore gave him to memorize. He had to be thinking what was on the note in order to have the house door appear for them to open.
"Hey Ron, Hermione I need you to read this note that I have and memorize it. All of us need to be thinking of the inscription to be able to get inside the Headquarters," Harry said silently.
"The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at number twelve Grimmauld Place, London." Harry thought to himself as he and Ron and Hermione walked up the sidewalk to where the door used to be. All of the sudden a loud bang of noise happened and it scared Harry so much it made him fall backwards. The door had appeared just like Harry had seen it do so before the first time he had been there with Sirius.
"Harry where did we last see the locket that we found? I think I remember seeing it in the living room. That is, unless Kreacher found it and threw it away," Hermione said.
"We need to be quiet in here just in case there are members of the order here. We need to get in, find the locket, and then get out unnoticed," Harry said to Ron and Hermione.
The three started looking around in the living room while at the same time, they were making sure to keep quiet, when Harry accidentally knocked over a table causing a huge bang that could be heard throughout the whole house.
"Everybody, hurry, get under the invisibility cloak." Harry said so fast, he almost tripped in the attempt of trying to reach it.
The three hurriedly draped the cloak over themselves and stood in a corner opposite the table for about an hour. No one was there. No one came to find them even after all the noise.
"I don't think anyone is here. The order is so caught up in tailing me, that they probably haven't seen this place in weeks. I think it is safe now. We can start looking again," Harry said softly.
Just as the three started looking again, Ron had opened the curtains of the painting of Sirius's mother that had a permanent sticking charm placed on it. The lady in the picture started screaming so loudly.
"Mud-Bloods, scum-bags, and blood-traitors are not welcome in my house. Get Out!" She screamed loudly.
All of the sudden Kreacher came running down the stairs yelling "I'm coming master. I heard your screaming"
Her screaming pissed Ron off so bad, he punched her in the face and said, "Shut up you old bat," as he pulled the curtain shut again.
All of the sudden Kreacher came running down the stairs yelling "I'm coming master. I heard your screaming, I am a good servant aren't I?"
"Kreacher, what are you doing? She is not your master anymore. I am. Have you been taking orders from her?" Harry said to Kreacher.
"No." Kreacher said. But Harry could tell that he was lying.
"Kreacher go to the kitchen and fetch Ron, Hermione, and I some Butterbeer." Harry demanded of Kreacher.
Kreacher turned and started to run off to kitchen as he started whispering under his breath.
Kreacher returned a few minutes later with some Butterbeer. Hermione and Ron both said, "Thanks You Kreacher." As they started to tip the glasses over there open mouths, Harry yelled, "Wait, Stop. Don't drink that! It is poisoned." Both Ron and Hermione dropped there drinks quickly as Harry shouted at them.
Harry then turned to Kreacher and said, "Now I want you to go and get some more Butterbeer that isn't poisoned. I forbid you to put any poison in it this time, or anything else that can hurt my friends and I."
Kreacher stood there dumfounded as if he were still thinking of a way to slip a vile of potion into their drinks. Since he was forbidden to do so he threw his arm down in an awe shucks kind of motion and trotted off to the kitchen as he was getting really pissed off."
Kreacher returned to the living room with their drinks and Harry drank his first just to make sure they weren't poisoned.
"Kreacher I am giving you an order not to tell anyone or to even speak of our presence here tonight. You will not leave any notes or messages or anything of the sort here to be found, as to when we were here. Got it?" Harry demanded.
Kreacher looked really pissed off now. He then ran into the kitchen and grabbed something off of the table. He then ran into his room and came back really quick.
"Kreacher you will not follow us for the next hour or so. You will stay in the living room until I leave this house." Harry said quickly.
Harry and Hermione started to search the cabinets in the living room. They found some old papers and stuff that Mundungus hadn't nicked yet. They also found some old pictures of James and Lily Potter, which Harry put into his robes for safe keeping.
"Arrrrgh. Where is it? We have searched everywhere we can think of." Harry said with an angry and frustrated look on his face.
"Except one Harry, Kreacher's room." Hermione said as she started to head up the stairs towards Kreacher's room.
At the knowledge of what they were doing in his room, Kreacher got really angry and decided to lock them in his room. Of course all they had to was blow up the door to get out.
"Right, maybe he stuffed it up their because Sirius was gonna throw it out. Ron come on let's go look in Kreacher's room," Harry said to Ron and Hermione excitedly.
The three of them walked over to Kreacher's bedroom door, and noticed that it was wide open. Harry walked in first followed by Hermione and Ron. The started rummaging through the room until they found a closet that was full of items that Kreacher had tried to keep from Sirius from throwing it away. Sure enough Harry spotted it in the top of a pile of things scattered in the closet.
"Here it is Hermione. I found it." Harry yelled so loud that Hermione could have heard him from a mile away, "Now all we need to do is find one more Horcruxe and then go back to Hogwarts and round up some followers to help kill Nagini and Volde… He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."
"I don't know where the last one is, but until I find out, we should go back to the Burrow and let Mrs. Weasley know we are alright. We also need to write to Hagrid and let him know as well." The three agreed on this and decided to use floo powder travel since they had been tired from working all day.
"That son of a bitch locked us in. I will kill you Kreacher, you damn piece of shit, no good for nothing servant!" Harry yelled as he was trying to kick the door down.
"Harry, stop it. You've forgotten one thing. You're a wizard. Why don't we just blow the door down with magic?" Hermione suggested. Ron was still lost inside his own ignorance and stupidity as if he didn't know wizards could use magic.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Ron said.
"Because you have to pay attention in class to be able to perform magic properly." Hermione scolded him. "Bombarda," Hermione yelled. The door to Kreacher's room suddenly burst open and shattered into a million pieces. Harry, as soon as he was given the chance, ran down to find Kreacher sitting on his stool in the kitchen. Harry walked up behind him and grabbed him by the neck. Harry started to swing him around by the scruff of his neck, like Hermione would do to Crookshanks when he would really eat her homework, literally.
"Kreacher you are a no good servant, you are a useless piece of shit." Harry screamed. "Kreacher, I am banishing you from this house. You will never return here, ever. You will go to the nearest river and drown yourself. Do you understands me? If I come to this house next time and you are still here I will kill you, I promise you this."
Ron laughed at Harry's remark and Hermione frowned a little bit. The three quickly sped over to the nearest fireplace and grabbed floo powder in there hands.
