Harry Potter and the Ancient War of the Arvanian.

Chapter 4.

At number 12, Grimmauld Place, London.

Albus Dumbledore is passing around the sitting room. There was no smile or twinkle on the old man's face. His face is laden with dread and old aged seem to finally catching up with him. Who wouldn't be when Harry Potter is missing!!

The sitting's room door suddenly opened. Entered the room, is Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Both of them look terrible as if they haven't got any chance of sleep in days!. Both had bags eye and Sirius look like he been crying because his eyes was all red and misty.

When Mundungus came rushing in two nights ago, and inform them that Harry is missing, there was an immediate uproar. Sirius immediately went hysterical, and immediately wanted to searched for Harry but could not since he was still a wanted criminal and Remus was trying to calm Sirius down. But it was no use since he himself was trying hard to hold back tears, then they both when and locked themselves in their room. The Weasleys, who was staying with Sirius for the summer, just sat there in shocked while Hermione, who also staying for the summer, fainted strait away.

Now, Sirius, Remus, Ron and Hermione, Fred and George along with Dumbledore all just sit in the lounge looking depressed and lost.

"Any news on Harry?" asked Dumbledore.

"None." Said Remus. "We search everywhere we could think off. There was simply no sign of Harry. Not to mention, we didn't even know whether he is unharmed or not!."

Sirius just stared at Remus. He looked like close to tears again. He can't blame him. Harry was their cub. To have their cub missing….

"What about you, Albus? Any lead?" asked Sirius, his voice croaked.

"I'm sorry Sirius, Remus. But I too can't seem to traced him." Replied Dumbledore.

"There must be a reason why he left." Said Fred.

"Yeah…." Said George. "Harry is just too noble to just abandon people. That is so not like him."

"He didn't even write to us." Said Ron Softly. Then in a lauder tone, "I'm so going to knock some sense into him for leaving like that!." Ron was shouting by the time he finish his sentence.

"I agree." Said Remus.

"I don't think you could even if you want to." Said Hermione. She has been quiet all the time and she seems to be deep in thoughts.

"Called me Remus, Hermione." Said Remus. "And what make you say that?".

Hermione didn't answer him. Instead, she turn to Ron and ask "Remember when you were jealous of Harry about the Tournament?"

Ron nodded. His eyes and expression mirrored his confusion.

"Well…" said Hermione, as she struggle to explain to them what she knew. " I.. er.. I was the one that stick with Harry the whole time. Even though Ron didn't." she was glaring daggers at Ron when she said that. "I don't know how to say this… but during those time… Harry sometimes… changed. Like becoming a different person from time to time."

Dumbledore eyes narrowed. He isn't aware of this new behavior of Harry. Usually, Harry can be read like an open book.

"What are talking about Hermione." Asked Fred.

"I'm talking about Harry seems to like to mysteriously disappear and then pops out of no where. When asked where his been, he just said been around. And then I sometimes saw him spacing out. Most of the time, he keeps looking out the window. His face is sad, depressed and very worried. At the time, I thought it was about the Tournament and about him and Ron not talking to each other."

"But…" said George.

"But my assumption fly out the window when he become frequently worried for no apparent reason. And here's another thing, when Harry is in that state, I notice the different in him. Like turning into… well different person. He seems older, wiser, grimed and fey. I thought it was a mind trick, now I'm not sure."

Hermione slowly message her head. Thinking the mystery surrounding Harry is giving her a splitting headache. She didn't think anyone in the room get her message at all. Goodness knows that she herself is very confused.

"I know what you mean." Said Sirius.

"You do?"

"Yeah. Now that I think about it, that exactly the same problem Remus and I had with James. Harry's father. That's exactly how James would act when he is not in his carefree mood or playing prangs. James always have this sense of caution. Like you Hermione, I thought that its nothing. In time, I get uneasy and suspicious and begin to think that James and the Potters have a secret that he's not telling. But that when away when we graduated."

"What do you mean by the Potters having secrets?" asked Fred. Both he and George are confused as ever.

"Sirius ran away from his family the summer before our six year." Explain Remus. "He stayed with the Potters until he can managed on his own. During those times, Sirius wanted to spent some times with James or the Potters. But couldn't since they seems to be away most of the summer. What they do or where they went, we never know. James followed his father that summer. Only his mother remained. But she didn't say anything. James didn't say anything either when he returns with his father. Needless to say, Sirius was suspicious, but kept quiet."

"I was more then suspicious." Said Sirius. "I was also livid. James was gone nearly two months and he didn't even wrote a letter while he was away. I tried asking him where he went. But he just turn mute. I try to investigate, but couldn't find anything. So in the end, I just shrugged it off and forget about it."

"Didn't either of you stopped to think that perhaps you're invading a family's privacy?" said Hermione.

"We know that Hermione, that's why Remus and I didn't pursue it further!."

"You know" said George. "You guys makes Harry sound mysteriously powerful…"

"And smart." Finished Fred.

"You got to be kidding me." Said Ron, as he got up from his seat to stand. He couldn't belief what he heard. "Harry… powerful and smart!! Seriously you all gone bonkers or something… Harry can't even pass his History of Magic. He's an average student. There is no way he can be that powerful."

"Intelligence isn't enough to determine how powerful you are, Mr. Weasley." Said Dumbledore. He has been silent all this time to fathom the mysteries about the Potters. "There are other qualities that one needed to have in order to become very powerful. Intelligence is only essential.

After a moment, he add " I don't like this feeling. I've been monitoring Harry's movement and I've never seen this side of him."

While he said this, Dumbledore fail to notice that both Fred and George has rise to their feet in rage or Sirius and Remus that has grew darker.

"Are you telling me" Remus hissed. "That you have been spying on Harry since day one he sat foot at Hogwarts or longer?"

"Don't misunderstood. I merely said…"

"We heard damn well what you said." Shouted Sirius. "Gods Dumbledore… maybe that's why he ran off. Probably he knows all about it and feel betrayed by you."

Hermione rose to defend Dumbledore. "Don't jump to conclusion"

"Hermione, Shut up!!" Shouted Fred. While George also shouted saying "Now is not the time to be a know-it-all or be high and mighty!"

"Oy, watch it what you say to Hermione." Shouted Ron to his brothers.

"You watch it"

"Enough!!!!" said Remus. He looked like he wanted to kill somebody.

Everybody was shocked silence. It was rare for Remus to loose his temper. He usually is the calm one of the group. But right now, he is just a pissed off werewolf.

"I don't know what's going on here and to be frank, I don't like it." Then he pointed his finger at Dumbledore. "Since it seems you started this mess, clean it up before I clean it for you."

Remus then left the room. Followed Sirius, Fred and George.

Hermione then went to Dumbledore and said "I'm sorry Professor."

"Its alright Miss Granger. I understand."

"That still doesn't excuse then to behave like that."

"They are just stress. Harry is missing after all. Why don't you both head to bed? It's getting late."

Hermione nodded. Then all exchanged 'Good Nights' before went to their own room.

Dumbledore still remain at the sitting room. he needed to think of Harry's possible location and try to repair whatever damage he has with him. He didn't realize that his damage toward Harry has gone beyond repair.
