Chapter 6

The stage of stupid plans.

"Harry may I have a word with you in private?" Mad-eye asked Harry. Harry hesitated and left the room with Made eye. "Harry you being too rash this isn't the way to go with this, a reverse trap? Your not at Hogwarts anymore, things have turned serious, we don't have time for this trickery."

Harry stood silent for a few minutes. "Then what do you plan on doing Moody what can we do, we're pretty much at a dead end."

"Harry unless your ready to fight voldemort soon, you don't want to rush this." Moody put his arm around his shoulder. "We're going to question the devil of a women in the picture frame and we'll go from there." Harry was silent and he didn't say a word as he went back into the kitchen.

"Ron it was a nice idea but for right now it's not going to happen, what we need to do is question the portrait." Harry said. "Hermione how long will the polyjuice potion take?"

"It will be almost a month Harry, sorry."

"For now we will patrol the ministry and try to stop any attacks that we can. In the meantime Harry you need to search Dumbledores pensive to find things that we missed." Lupin said. "For now we will enjoy this beautifully cooked meal." Molly smiled relaxed in the corner.

"Would anyone like more mashed potatoes?" She asked

A month slowly went by, day by day, looking into that stupid pensive and finding nothing, how could Dumbledore expect him to figure it out? 2 weeks had passes and nothing, he had to do something, besides sitting and waiting. He couldn't go and help the other members of the order, with the disturbances. "It's too much of a Risk" Harry mocked Mr. Weasley. A knock came at the door. Ginny stood in the door way.

"Dinners ready and the Order is meeting tonight at Grimmald place." She said. Harry got even more annoyed if possible, it would be another meeting where they decide on him doing nothing but search. They should at least be checking out the black lack they should. How long was Voldemort even going to wait, top see if they would come?

"I'll be down in a second." He said. Ginny was less convinced.

"Harry what's wrong besides the obvious." She said walking over to him

"Nothing, just feel worthless. Now I know how Sirius felt when he was trapped at Grimmald."Harry muttered.

"Harry your not a prisoner, you can go out no ones controlling you. And all the adults believe we're still too young to be in the order, I think they have a point, you only seventeen Harry. People just don't want anything bad to happen to you. how you know how I felt when you were threatening that I couldn't come." He half smiled at that, she had a point. He was pretty much set when he said no because he had his reason. He could see where the order was coming from. Harry got up and followed Ginny to the Kitchen, where dinner was already set on the table.

"Looks delicious Hermione!" Ginny said.

"Hey I helped." Ron said.

"Yeah you picked at the food." Hermione said sarcastically.

"I was testing it, making sure it wouldn't poison everyone." He puffed out his chest. " You should be happy you have a big strong man to take those risks for all of you." When Ron realized only arched eyebrows were facing him he admitted defeat. "Oh come on when am I not hungry." He said making Harry smirk.

"I for one don't blame you, Hermione's cooking is great. I bet she's learning from your mom behind your back."

"It wouldn't surprise me." Ron said staring at Hermione with admiration, who blushed in return.

"It's only super, you guys act like I've done something worthy of an award." They ate dinner, Hermione announced everything was going fine with the potion. And Harry announced he still wanted to go to the black lake. Hermione and everyone froze.

"By ourselves, you want to go?" Hermione asked.

"Well Harry I don't think there is enough of us if we were attacked." Ron said logistically.

"The Order said no Harry." Ginny said.

"They didn't say no they just said it wouldn't be smart." Ron scoffed, since it was his idea in the first place.

"How long would Voldemort watch the black lake looking for me." Harry said.

"Well if he doesn't know if you visited Malfoy, he might very well have a look out there." Hermione stated. Hermione put on a serious look. "Harry, give this some thought please. I mean I would be all for it if we had substantial back up with us but if you're going to do this against the Orders wishes we're on are own."

"You don't think we can do it." Harry asked his voiced toned with anger. Hermione sighed.

"Harry if you feel you can't wait 15 days for the polyjuice potion, if you feel that it's ok risking to a lie, because we all know it's a trap, if you can live with the guilt if something goes wrong, then I'm in." She said picking up her dishes and throwing them in the sink, strutting out of the room. The room was silent.

"Harry maybe you should wait."Ginny said. "Be patient."

"That's never been one of Harry's strong suits." Ron muttered placing his dishes in the sink, flicking his wand. Making the cleaning supplies do the dishes. "Harry, you know me I'm in, and he left the room, going after Hermione. Only Harry and Ginny were left sitting at the table.

"If your sure you know what your doing, then I'm with you but there's going to be a plan." She cleaned up her dishes kissed Harry on the head and walked out of the room.

"A plan it is then." He said.
