After 5 minutes of awkward silence, Dumbledore placed a hand on Harry's
shoulder, "Let's go inside." Dumbledore gestured, his voice calm.
Harry followed his professor's gaze, and gave the old man a sceptical look. "There's no inside to go into!" said Harry, looking at the dark stone wall. Dumbledore said nothing, he just turned his back to Harry, drew out his wand and made a sudden swishing movement with it in the air.
A beautiful white shimmering unicorn emerged out of Dumbledore's wand, staring at each Harry, Ron and Dumbledore in turn. The unicorn blinked, then galloped across the field and stopped abruptly in the center, waiting.
"Follow me please, Harry," Said Dumbledore, "you too Ron." Dumbledore started to make his way towards the unicorn, followed closely by Ron, who look neither scared nor surprised. Harry had no choice but to follow.
Dumbledore stroked the unicorn softly, while Harry stood a few metres away, feeling awkward. Dumbledore gave the unicorn a nod, retraced his steps backwards and came to stand by Ron. Harry watched in interest as the unicorn tapped the ground five times, a blinding flash of light consumed the unicorn. Harry shielded his eyes, once the light had died down, the unicorn was gone. A low rumbling came from where the unicorn once was; the earth began to shake as a tall black tower forced its way out of the ground, Harry, eyes wide looked up in fear at the magnificent fortress.
Dumbledore stepped forward and heaved open the door and went inside, Ron followed. Harry hesitated, unsure, but he soon plucked up the courage and followed too. If looks were anything to go by, if possible the tower looked even bigger from the inside. It reminded him of the ministry cars that Mr Weasley had got to take them to kings cross for there third year at school.
Dumbledore led them through a hallway into a large room, a bit like a muggle sitting room except for the presence of a few odd magical objects scattered around the room.
Harry examined the room and all its magical objects that intrigued him, unknown to him, Dumbledore was following his every move, with a familiar twinkle in his eye. Harry jumped when a woman of about Ron's age burst into the room. Harry gasped and dropped the magical instrument he was holding, sending it crashing down to the floor. The woman rushed forward and wrapped her arms around him. Harry pushed her away, a look of pure astonishment cascading his features. "Ginny?" he whispered.
"Harry, I am so glad you came," smiled Ginny "It's been so long." Harry had to stop himself from laughing out loud when she said this, she sounded just like Mrs Weasley. "Hi Ginny." greeted Harry "Wow you've changed." Harry breathed. Taking her in and looking her up and down. She had changed a lot in twenty eight years, her hair was shorter and tied back in a bun, her face was more womanly looking and she had grew a lot in height as well, she was about a head taller than Harry.
Ginny was about to reply when another person entered the room, Harry didn't think there could be anymore shocks for this week, he was proven very wrong. The person made his way toward's Harry and at first Harry did not recognize who it was but as they stepped in front of him he realised it was none other than Remus Lupin and before Harry could say anything Lupin had pulled him into another hug. When Lupin drew back Harry registered that Lupin had tears in his eyes, he noticed that Lupin had changed very little in the time that had passed, his robes were new ones but were still worn and his face looked older than ever but as Harry looked into Lupin's eyes he saw something that he had never once saw there before, it was not sadness or joy, it was a look of pure hatred.
"I heard about that scum attacking you." Lupin spat. "I don't know what made him change Harry, maybe it was because you were killed, or maybe he was just sick but all I know is that Sirius Black will never be my friend again." Everyone stood in silence as he said this and no one dared move then another person entered the room.
Harry quickly shut his eyes but curiosity got the better of him and he opened them, the moment he had he wish he had kept them shut because there looking, if possible, more sinister and greasy was Snape. "Oh God not you." moaned Harry "I thought I had seen and heard the worse parts of the future up until now but you just about take the biscuit."
Snape sneered at Harry per usual and Harry knew that Snape's feelings towards him had not changed but he was not in the least bit surprised. "I assure you Potter" Sneered Snape "When I heard of your arrival here I was in not hurry to throw you a welcoming party".
Harry was just about to tell Snape he could shove it when the door, once again opened, Harry was adamant it was going to be someone who shock him even more but to his relief he saw that it was Hermione. But his relief soon turned to fear as Hermione started shouting her head off.
"Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley! How dare you both run off here without even telling me?!" she shouted, then she went over to Ron and slapped him across the face and Ron stumbled back "And you." said Hermione, wagging her finger at him, her voice a deadly whisper, "Your going to have to clean dishes the muggle way for a year before I forgive you for this."
Harry didn't know what to do but he didn't have to do anything as he saw Lupin had stepped forward and was holding Hermione. Hermione was so mad about being stopped that she started swearing at Ron like there was no tomorrow, Harry was appalled and amazed at Hermione's behaviour.
"YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD BRING HIM BACK!" she shouted, "YOU LYING LITTLE B*****D!" no one dared do or say anything, Dumbledore looked very uncomfortable and even Snape looked really shocked as his mouth was hanging open. "HOW DARE YOU BOTH COME HERE?!" shouted Hermione and then she turned to Harry, Harry was ready to run out the room, he backed away from her towards the door. However he thought it best to stay "I THOUGHT YOU HAD MORE SENSE HARRY" she Shouted "YOU COULD HAVE GOT YOURSELF F***ING KILLED!" Harry went red from head to toe, even his Aunt and Uncle had never shouted at him like this.
"Hermione, please, calm down" begged Lupin, Dumbledore had started to step forward when he thought better and walked over to Harry. "Let's go somewhere and talk" said Dumbledore, Harry did not particularly want to be alone with Dumbledore but he had no choice, he didn't know what was worse, an insane Dumbledore or an angry Hermione?
Harry followed Dumbledore out the room and Dumbledore led Harry into the kitchen and went to close the door. "DON'T TELL ME TO BLOODY CALM DOWN!" they heard Hermione screech "I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED!" Dumbledore quickly closed the door and sound proofed the room, then sat down on a stool at the breakfast bar.
"Now that we are alone" began Dumbledore "I think both of us have some explaining to do."

N/A: Well what did you think, I can't really imagine Hermione ever swearing but it would be funny if she did, so that's it for this chapter, the next chapter will be a bit more funnier but also serious as well!
Title of next chapter: - A talk with a lunatic, a mad woman then a werewolf!
Preview of next chapter:-
"Bloody hell" said Harry "don't you think that's strange what Dumbledore said happened"
Hermione looked up at Harry her eyes full of sadness and anger "But Harry can't you see what it means" said Hermione. Harry looked at her puzzled "No" he said "What?"
Hermione stood up and as she spoke her voice was full of despair "It means "she said "Your in more danger than we thought you were"
