Chapter 3: Stage of meetings.
When Harry left in the morning to meet Madeye, he sent Hermione and Ron to start making the Polyjuice potion; it would take over a month to brew. Harry had flown over to Grimmald place. He had not had an apparition test, Ron and him were planning in the next month to get certified. Ginny would still be to young to get hers.
The house was empty when he got there except for Madeye Lupin and Tonks.
"Morning Harry." Tonks said coming from the kitchen. "I got to go but it was nice to see you."
She left with a hurry. Madeye and Lupin were in the kitchen having a cup of coffee. When Harry came into view they stop and invited him to join them.
"So how are we going to be able to visit him anyhow?" Harry asked.
"I got it taken care of Harry, I still got some favors to call in." Madeye piped in. Harry nodded.
"Why was Tonks leaving in such a hurry?" Harry mentioned when there was a silence that descended.
"Someone asked to see her, something to do with Dumbledore. Don't worry Kingsley went with her." Lupin explained."Now I have some important business to attend to. We've been watching the Malfoy house, It looks like little Malfoy has come home." Then left the room.
"Shouldn't we go with him?"
"No, Malfoy is not that powerful Harry, he might be sneaky and conniving, but he's still a blockhead." Madeye muttered. " Ok I think it's about time we go. I'll appariate us too the closest spot then we'll have to walk the rest of the way."
Harry had never been to Azkaben and certainly never wanted to. When they got close Harry got a weird feeling in his stomach but kept walking. They walk up to the entrance and knocked.
"What's ya purpose?" A mans voice growled.
"Flaskli you old fart open the door its Madeye." a grunt answered them and the door opened.
"Madeye I hoped never to see you again." Flaskli said from a desk on the opposite side of the door.
"Well, you could only be so lucky, now lead as to him man can't afford to dottle."
"You lucky I owe ya." He led them down cell after cell of inmates some of them Death Eaters some just killers. It seemed like they had walk for ever when Lucius Malfoy finely came into view, Harry had never seen him like this. He looked awful his hair was no longer the blonde but brown from the dirt.
"Why if isn't it old Lucius Malfoy at his finest." Madeye boomed as they walked into the cell. He looked at them Sternly and didn't answer. The door closing behind them.
"Now I know your wondering what we're here for me and Harry that is, oh you remember Harry right?" He continued. Harry stared down the pitiful thing he called a Malfoy. "We'll we came here to ask you a few questions" Malfoy shook his head. "Oh we're not taking no for an answer Malfoy." He said smiling. He took out the bottle of Vertisiam. He flicked his wand and wordlessly made Lucius's limbs still. "Sucks to be without you wand doesn't it?" And he forced the entire bottle down his throat. Madeye turned to Harry. "Do you just wanted get your question over with first I know you got some. " Harry thought, what question did he have for him, nothing that Madeye wasn't going to ask.
"How does it feel to know Voldemort left you to die Lucius?" Harry asked , deciding to torture him
"I failed him, it's nothing I don't deserve, I feel disloyal and worthless." He answered.
"How do you feel now that Draco is in his good graces while your in disgrace?"
"I'm proud of him, always hope he could serve well."
"And how does it feel to know that I could take my wand out right now and kill you." Harry growled. Lifting his wand to Lucius's throat. Madeye looked momentarily shocked but than a smile lit up his face.
"I feel calm, you wont do I hold to much information for you to kill me." Harry smiled and lowered his wand. "One more, how do you think Voldemort will feel when he finds out that you betrayed him by telling us his secrets."
"I'm not stupid he'll finish the job. He warned me." Harry nodded to Madeye to start his questioning
"ok Malfoy, You know were any of the other Horcrux's are?"
"Yes"
"Were would that be now?"
"The bottom of the black lake at Hogwarts." Harry thought about his it would make sense. That was were Voldemort first learned to make Horcruxes. So this would be the first on he made.
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"His robe, from Slytherine. But it's well guarded you'll never get to it. And I doubt you can steal any gilliweed from Snape this time." Malfoy said to Harry with a smile. Last thing Malfoy saw was Harry's fist coming to his face.

"Do you think it will work?" Ron asked Hermione. She flipped the page of her potions book and started to stir counterclockwise.
"Well, It's a good idea and I hope it works." Hermione muttered. "If it doesn't, this potion will probably come in handy anyway." Hermione stopped stirring and looked around. "Hey where's Ginny?"
"Oh she went to see Bill and see how he's doing."
"Oh" Hermione walked toward Ron and wrapped her arms around him. "So we're alone are we?" She smiled but her face blushed. A smirk formed on Ron's face.
"You right." Ron grabbed hold of her chin and bent down and kissed her, gently at first then he slide his tongue into her mouth and the kiss became urgent. Hermione wrapped her arms around Ron's necked, standing on her tippy toes her hand grabbing hold of his red hair. Ron grabbed her waist pushing her against him. Soon their breaths became rapid and short.
"Hermione!"Ron moaned and laid her down on the coach that was in the library. He climbed on top of her.
"I love you Ron. " Hermione whispered as there faces got closer. Ron's eyes showed warmth and happiness she had never seen before.
"I love you too." He kissed her again gently on the forehead, then to the eyelids, to the cheeks, the nose and then mouth. Ron slide to the back of the coach cradling Hermione to him, draping his arms over her waist, molding her to him. He kissed the back of her head as they laid there savoring each other.
"Thank- you Ron." Hermione whispered to him, for not rushing what they had.
"Your welcome Hermione." Why rush into anything, Ron thought.

Ron and Hermione woke up to a rocking.
"Hermione! Ron!" Harry was teasing. Harry had a wide smile on his face. "Wake up sleepy heads." They both sat up rubbing their eyes. " I hate to wake you up. you looked comfortable." He said to Hermione who blushed and looked away. "And you I said separate bedrooms I guess I have to say every room." Ron ears got red but kept staring.
"Not what do we owe this pleaser Harry." Ron muttered.
" Madeye and I have found another location of a horcrux."Hermione shot up at this point, Ron right beside her. "It's in the Black Lake. At the bottom I believe. I can get into detail tomorrow, And Herms I got the hair, where did you want to put it?" Hermione got up and was fiddling in the cabinet with it. Harry leaned over and whispered to Ron. "I take it back, you don't have to be in separate rooms,just be safe." Harry winked and Ron looked angry but had a smile tugging at his face."
"I'm going to kill you." Ron said half serious half jokingly.
"Why?" Hermione asked when she came back." She looked confused. Harry put his hands to the side of his mouth. And mockingly said.
"My little Ron is growing up!" And faked cried. Ron threw a pillow at him knocking him off the coffee table. Ron started chasing him around the room.
"Hermione, where's Ginny." He panted coming around the couch Ron close on his tail."
"She went to see Bill." She yelled. Then Harry ran out of the door, slamming it in Ron's face knocking him down. Hermione giggled.
"You git." Hermione had uncontrollable giggles from the couch.
"Git am I?" Ron strided over to the couch and shoved her against him. "Well your in love with a git."
"Don't remind me." She said cheerily, bursting into laughter again. Ron joined her, kissing her from time to time.

"Bonjour Harry!" Fleur exclaimed rushing toward him kissing his cheeks. "Zo wonderful to zee you!" Harry nodded with a smile and went to stand near Bill.
"I don't know if you allowed these but." Harry lifted a box of Chocolate Frogs. Bill snatched them away.
"I'll take them even if I'm not allowed. I guess Ron told you I was a sucker for these things."
"He mentioned it once, so how are you doing." Harry asked sincerely.
"Well I'll be out soon, they just want to make sure nothing happens in the full moon. Last month I fought it off, there seeing if I can do the same tomorrow. Harry stop staring at my scares." He said noticing Harry's eyes lingering on them.
"Sorry, It's just that."
"Harry need I remind you , that you have one too." Harry smiled and nodded in agreement. "Besides I'm the luckiest guy alive I'm married tot he woman I love." Fleur swung in and kissed him.
"You sound just like Ron, except for the marrying thing." Harry stared and bill's mouth went white showing teeth.
"Him and Hermione, I can't tell how many letters I got from him about her , I knew it." He said excitingly. "He's loved her for the longest time. I almost came to hogwarts and beat the crap out of him for that lavender thing."
"He told you about that? Harry asked.
"No Ginny did said he put Hermione in tears."
"Well don't worry Hermione got back at him. Got some scars I think." They both laughed. The nurse came in and said that Harry had to leave.
"Wasn't Ginny here?" Harry asked
"Oh Zhe vent vith that Neville garcon." Fleur said. Harry gave her a confused look and she shrugged. They said good bye, As Harry was walking outside Ginny came down the hall.
"Harry what are you doing here?" She asked
"Finding you and to see Bill." Harry said. "Want a ride?" Harry said as he got his broom form the front desk.
"How do you think I got here?" She said and got her broom. Harry was filled with disappointment. They kicked off the ground and muttered an invisibility spell.
"So how's Neville?" Harry asked casual.
"He's good. He said if he could ever help let him know. Says he's going back to Hogwarts this year and if anything happens you'll be the first to know." She said. A silence descended for a long bit.
"Harry, Are you still mad at me?" Ginny asked.
"I was never mad at you I just don't want anything to happen to you." Harry said.
"Harry I miss you." Ginny whispered.
"I miss you too Ginny." Harry admitted.
"Do you think we shouldn't do anything about it?"
"I don't know what to think now." He lifted the spell as they set down at Godric's Hollow.
"Do you love me?" Ginny said staring boldly at him. Harry smiled she definitely wasn't shy. He thought about what she said. Did he love her?
"Yes." He finely admitted. Ginny jumps into his arms.
"I love you too." She was close to crying. "Don't push me away. Please."
Harry held her to him. Rubbing her back soothing her."I wont I wont."
