Chapter 2: Leaving
Disclaimer: See first chapter
Harry turned to his 2 friends and immediately turned his wand on them. "Ok Ron, what spell did you show me on the train in our first year?" Ron grinned, before replying "Sunshine, daisies butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!" Harry smiled, then turned his wand on Hermione, asking her "What did you make in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom in our 2nd year?" Hermione smiled, then said "Polyjuice potion, only I used a cat hair, and had to go to the infirmary so I could be changed back, meaning I had to miss out on a lot of schoolwork." Harry smiled, then said excitedly "Hey guys, how's life?" He was answered by a tight hug from Hermione, and a large grin from Ron.
"Hey mate, I'd say it's a bit easier than yours, considering what just happened!" Ron replied. Harry gave a small chuckle. "They haven't been that bad. I think the warning the Order gave is still fresh in their minds." Hermione released him and stood back. "Harry, I've been working on ideas for the locations of the Horcruxes ever since I got back….." here Ron gave a snort and rolled his eyes, before grunting as Hermione dug him in the ribs with an elbow, "and I think I know where 3 of them might be."
"Good, because I have a couple of inspirations I've recently had, to discuss with you as well, but let's do it at Grimmauld place, shall we?" The other 2 nodded, grabbed his trunk, and with one loud cracking sound they all disapparated.
Once they arrived outside, Hermione pulled out the parchment and they glanced at it, then walked up to the door and knocked on it, only to hear, "Ok laddies and lass, if you want to stay the way you are, you'll answer our questions correctly," from behind them. They turned to see Mad-eye Moody, Remus Lupin (Harry blinked, an idea forming) Kingsley Shacklebolt, and Nymphadora Tonks pointing their wands at them. "Ok, then ask us, and we'll ask you," Ron replied.
"What form does your patronus take Harry?" "A stag," "Ron what form did the boggart take when it saw you?" "A huge spider" "Hermione, what was the boggart for you in the exam?" "Professor McGonagall, saying I'd failed everything" here Ron sniggered, to be stopped with another grunt as Hermione elbowed him again, before Harry asked the 3 aurors: "Moody, what did you say about my wand when you came to get me?" "Don't put it there boy, better wizards then you have lost buttocks you know!" "What was my father's nickname for you Professor Lupin?" " Moony, and call me either Moony or Remus Harry" "Tonks, what was Hermione and Ginny's favourite impression on you?" In response, Tonks changed her nose to a pig snout. "Kingsley, what did you do in Dumbledore's office last year?" "Modified Marietta's memory so she couldn't give away your army."
Then all wands were lowered (the trio had their wands out as well) and they all waked inside. Once they were inside, they had about 5 seconds to look around before they were engulfed by a hug that almost suffocated them by Mrs Weasley, who instantly began fussing over Harry's form, moving him into the kitchen to get some leftover stew and a glass of butterbeer inside him. He was ½ through the meal when he felt a different pair of eyes upon him. Looking up, he realised 2 things; that the newcomer was the only person besides him in the room, and that that person was Ginny Weasley.
