AN: Thank you everyone for the reviews and your support. I'm sorry the chapter is later than usual. For my summer job I work in a factory and my hand was caught in a machine. Nothing broken just bruised and sore. I don't usually bitch and complain but I figure I'm going to take advantage of the anonymity of the internet and complain to people that I will probably never meet.
Next chapter will be out either Saturday or Monday.

Warnings: Refer to Chapter 1; sorry guys no sex in this chapter more action adventure.
Chapter 7
"We need to get started on the task," Draco advised as he walked into the Slytherin common room with Harry at his side. "We only have four days remaining before His Craziness demands we return with his trophy.
"We'd better find Severus and Lucius, we need to plan if we're going to break into the ministry," Harry looked pensive as he ran over things in his head.
The young men found Severus and Lucius in their dormitory. Lucius organizing his closet and Severus reading his subscription to Simmering Cauldrons.
"So, how do we do this?" Harry flopped face first on Draco's bed while Draco asked his questions.
"I took initiative to have some of my father's old contacts in the ministry send me the floor plans and security information. I know the best way to get in." Lucius commented while digging through his closet. Severus turned to Harry and motioned him over.
"I'm not letting you go alone."
"You don't have a choice Sev, this has to be our task and if Voldemort finds out you helped us it will be your heads."
"I don't care. There are too many dark enchantments in the Hall of Records for you to go without us. While Draco may have a good grasp on the Dark Arts, your aura is too light to have had too much instruction." Harry shrugged his shoulders and took the chance of leaning into his lover. Harry closed his eyes when his head rested upon Severus' shoulder and let out a contented sigh. Severus' eyes widened as he stiffened; taking a breath he relaxed and then he smiled softly to himself. He wrapped his arm around Harry and rest his head atop of Harry's.
Draco who had been looking over the plans Lucius had passed him saw his best friend resting on his godfather and grinned.
"What do you think?" Lucius asked when he came out of his walk in closet. Draco pressed a finger to his lips and motioned towards the two in the corner. Motioning Lucius closer Draco explained his idea.
"That could work, and no one would even know we'd been there." Lucius came over and put his arm around Draco's shoulder. He couldn't understand his need to be close to this young man or the intense feelings of pride he had whenever Draco did something well. It was uncharacteristic of a Slytherin to be happy for anyone else's achievements. Yet, he could not help it.
"How will we get out of Hogwarts?" Lucius questioned after a few minutes of silently watching their counterparts. "The last time we got out was because the wards were down to allow visitors of the Headmaster in."
"Harry will take care of that. He has certain...talents." Draco smirked. Severus opened his eyes and glared at Draco for speaking so loudly. Severus was now leaning against his head board with Harry lying on top of him. Harry was snoring quietly signaling his lack of consciousness.
"If you two wake him I'll use you both as potions ingredients."
Lucius and Draco turned as one, giving Severus the same look. Severus looked shocked at the two, immediately noting the similarities but quickly schooled his expression. He and Lucius would need to discuss it later. Something very strange was going on.
The days flew by that week and before the group knew it, it was the night before new year's eve. The night before they would have to meet the Dark Lord with the relic. Harry told everyone to meet him on the 3rd floor by the statue of the hump backed witch. Severus and Lucius were of course skeptical but Draco smirked and took the lead.
As they rounded the corner they realized no one was in sight.
"Damnit Williams, of course he's late." Severus grumbled, he then jumped as he felt arms go around his waist.
"You wouldn't happen to be cursing my name now would you?" Harry commented dryly as he removed his cloak and nuzzled Severus' neck.
"Well that is most undignified. How did you get here without my seeing you."
"I have this wonderful cloak, very helpful when practicing espionage." Severus turned in Harry's arms and realized, he couldn't see Harry's arms.
" An invisibility cloak, where...where did you get one?"
"I would assume the same place my family received theirs?" The four men gasped and turned around. Standing before them was James Potter from under his invisibility cloak.
"James, what are you doing here?" Harry asked attempting to keep the peace just as Sirius and Remus came out from their hiding spots.
"We had a feeling you guys would be sneaking around."
"So, you mean a little map told you?" The Gryffindors looked at Harry in shock.
"What are you talking about?" James asked suspiciously.
"Look we don't have time for this. We need to go."
"If you don't take us with you, we'll go straight to Dumbledore and tell him you've left school property." Harry snarled as he turned away and faced Draco, giving him an exasperated look. Draco took over, seeing as Harry was about to lose his temper.
"Fine come with us, but if you get caught you're on your own."
The Gryffindors looked ecstatic as they all piled through the secret passage. They began the long walk towards the Honeydukes cellar in silence until James could take no more.
"So, what are we up to?"
"Gryffindors, never looking before jumping into situations," Lucius commented dryly. Sirius opened his mouth to no doubt make a snarky comment but was interrupted by Harry's quiet voice.
"We are breaking into the Hall of Records to retrieve a relic for a madman." Harry answered simply. The Slytherins looked at Harry incredulously. "What? They asked, they're coming along they may as well know." Harry shrugged off their concern. The Slytherins shook their heads and continued walking. James, Sirius and Remus arrived at the trapdoor first. James, in his cloak, went up to double check there was no one around.
As the men excited the store they noted it was quite dark outside. The Ministry was already closed given the holiday hours. Lucius told them all to gather round. He took out the quill that would serve as their portkey and the seven of them each touched it. With a pull at each of their stomachs they were off, spinning and jerking until they landed rather roughly in an abandoned meeting room.
"Where are we?" Remus asked quietly while being helped to his feet by Sirius.
"We are in one of the old meeting rooms. They haven't been used in over 60 years. The Ministry was expanded about 65 years ago and since then no one comes down here. My father, when he was alive had constant access to this room because Malfoy Corporations dealt with the ministry on a regular basis. No one will know we are here because all detection charms have been deactivated." Lucius answered while dusting himself off.
"Pays to be able to buy the Ministry." James scoffed sarcasticlly, Lucius smirked.
"No, it pays to be a Malfoy."
"Can we get going?" Harry asked after taking Severus hand to pull himself up.
Lucius took the lead and them out through one of the rooms tunnels. They ended up the floor where the old courtrooms were located. Harry took a moment to remember the last time he had been there. His fifth year trial had been a sham, he shook his head and caught up to Draco.
"We have to go down 3 more levels in order to get to the Hall of Records. We have to go through the Department of Magical Research and Development, the Department of Unknown Affairs and finally the Archives.
From this point on the floors zig-zag meaning the stairs aren't all located in one spot. If we had special access the stairs would align and we could simply descend. In order to get from Magical R&D to Unknown Affairs we have to cross Magical R&D take the stairs at the end then go down to Unknown Affairs doing the same with the next two levels.
Once we get to the Archives do not speak a single word, if any spells need to be cast they must be non-verbal. The Archives are position in a place that is so delicate that to use speech will ruin some of the records. Once we are in the Hall of Records then we can speak once again get the relic and then take an emergency exit back to the meeting room. Unfortunately, the exit can only be accessed from the Hall of Records otherwise this would have been a lot easier." Everyone was looking determined as Lucius finished his explanation.
Leading the way Lucius lead them quietly down the corridor to large double steal doors that read The Department of Magical Research and Development. Severus pushed open one of the doors and a large creak emitted. The group froze, waiting for some signal that they would be caught. Moving forward Remus took the lead and they entered the department.
Immediately the air swirled around them changing the scene. Gone were their black clothes, they were all dressed in white skirts and tunics. The air was hot and dry, they were outside of what looked to be a palace at midday.
"What's going on Malfoy?" Sirius demanded.
"We are in the room of illusions. Pay attention. Though everything is an illusion, if you are injured in the illusion you will be injured in reality."
"It looks like the illusion is going for ancient Egypt, hence the outfits." Draco drawled.
"Come we must get through qui-"
"You there! What are you doing in palace grounds?" The group looked as one to the right and saw guards walking towards them.
"Run!" Lucius exclaimed and took them through the outside of the palace to the city of the slaves.
"This illusion is quite poor if they are speaking in English." Remus commented while running.
"The illusion creates what is on the mind of the first person who stepped through, if they do not think of every exact detail the room creates things itself." Lucius huffed with a glare at Remus who blushed sheepishly. A dagger suddenly cut the conversation short as it flew past them. The group sped up to avoid the incoming arrows.
They ran through the ruin of a city with the guards not far behind them. Lucius was leading them further and lower into the city. After five minutes they ducked into a stone hut and waited for the guards to pass.
"We need to get to the river, Water signals the end of the illusion." Lucius told the group as the guards barreled past them.
"Alright come on."
They continued on their way, walking so as not to attract attention. Finally, after 10 minutes they arrived at the river. Severus checked to see if the guards were around and then led them to an unattended boat. They all got in and as they pushed of the illusion ended. They were all standing in front of another set of steel doors. They looked at Lucius who looked pensive.
"Ah yes, this next room deals with experimental creatures." Harry gave him a horrified look.
"What kind of creatures? Personally, I like to not deal with a giant basilisk again."
"I'm not sure, its classified information we'll see when we get in."
Severus opened the door, he took hold of Harry's hand to keep him close and the rest filed in afterwards.
Inside the room was like a jungle and a rainforest mixed together. They could hear bird calls and jaguar roars. They cautiously moved forwards avoiding tree roots and puddles. The trees were high and created a tall canopy that only shimmers of sun peaked through. The air was moist and sticky, bugs picked and twittered at them. Finally, James lost his temper and placed a shield around the group to keep the bugs from them.
"I hate bugs," was all he offered as an explanation.
It was ten minutes before they encountered their first creature. The being was half bird half fish. Its tail a long salmon fin and its head that of a hawk. Draco stopped to admire its beauty. It opened its mouth and squawked then behind him there was an explosion.
"What the fuck was that?" Sirius yelled from behind Draco.
"That was the animal, this is the department of research and development. From what it looks like they are trying to give magic to these experimental creatures." Severus sneered at Sirius. Sirius moved forward as if to tackle him to the ground. James and Remus grabbed him and held him back.
"You're so high and mighty eh Snape, well you can shove it up your arse!" Sirius yelled as he continued to struggle.
"You can never fight your own battles can you Black? Always getting others to do your dirty work."
"Enough," Harry barked, an angry look on his face. "I don't give a flying turkey if you two hate each other. You're both important to me so figure your shit out. This is neither the time or place and so help me if you two continue I'll knock you out and leave you here until we finish!" He glared at both of them his magical aura expanding and starting to suffocate those around him.
"Understood?!" Sirius gave him an angry nod while shaking off his friends. Severus closed off his expression and walked away. Harry realized he would have to deal with that scenario but couldn't be bothered to fix it now.
Harry joined Lucius and Draco to follow after Severus. Draco took one look at his friend and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.
"Don't worry, you'll work things out."
"You don't know him like I do Dray. He hates Sirius more than anything. By not taking his side its almost as bad as taking Sirius'. Oh well let's just get that damn thing and get out of here."
A roar sounded behind them. They turned around and saw a jaguar with a basilisk's body coming up to them quickly. Its mouth opened and a ball of fire burned towards them. They looked at each other and began running.
"If I had known how much running this would be I wouldn't have come," James huffed as they ran, ducking this way and that.
"No asked you to come, so shut up and keep running." Severus snarked as they dodged another flame ball. A cry sounded out beside him and he turned to see Draco trying in vain to put out the flames on his sleeve. The sleeve had burnt through to the skin. He would have a nasty burn by the time they were done. They turned down a pathway and Lucius yelled, pointing in the direction of another steel door. They had already passed the door so they had to run off to the side to double back.
Severus started blasting spells towards the beast. Forcing its attention away from the group to him. When they had all passed the beast Severus started back towards the door. They reached the door and Lucius had to put in a series of spells to make the door open.
"Keep it busy Severus," Lucius commented lightly as he continued working through the combinations. Severus tossed Draco a potion for the pain of his burn and a small jar of burn paste in order to clean and deal with the skin. Harry joined Severus in keeping their attacker occupied.
"I'm sorry."
"What for?" Severus asked he sent a curse to the animals' left.
"For getting between you and Sirius. I just hate when those I care about fight."
"Harry, I'm not angry with you for getting between us. I hate Sirius Black. However, I realize that not everyone else does. You are my lover but I do not expect you to agree with me for everything." Severus smiled at Harry. Lucius finally yelled in triumph and they rushed through the door slamming it shut.
"Thank merlin, that could have been bad." James slumped to the ground.
"Come on we still have two more levels to go before we get to the Hall of Records," Draco stated as he scanned the stairwell they were in.
The group went down three flights of stairs and walked down a corridor to reach the next department. The Mahogany doors read The Department of Unknown Affairs. Severus snorted as he read the sign.
"What's so funny Snape?" James asked from behind him.
"This is the ministry's way of saying 'etcetera' meaning they could't find a name to place all of these things in here so they basically categorized it as 'other'." James gave a small smile at Severus' explanation.
They pushed open the doors and were immediately surrounded by cubicles. Remus looked around, disconcerted.
"After all of the uproar in the last department I expected more excitement."
"Damnit Remus now you've jinxed us." Harry commented annoyed. "Its like saying 'oh it could be worse'...and it starts raining." Remus laughed at Harry's superstitions.
They walked through the cubicles and came to another set of Mahogany doors. Off to the left the cubicles had tapered off and there was a pond surrounded by three foot high glass. The doors would not open without a passcode, Lucius and Severus went to work out the authentication, with Draco offering his assistance. Harry sat down off to the right, his back against one of the cubicle walls, Remus joining him tiredly. James and Sirius had gone to check out the pond, the two had found some stones and were throwing them into the pond to see who could get it further.
Lucius, Severus and Draco were so absorbed in the door's passcode they didn't notice the danger. Harry, on the other hand, began noticing movement in the water.
"Guys, maybe you should leave that alone," He called to his father and godfather.
"Awe Harry, live a little. We're just skipping rocks, what could happen?" Sirius called back.
A moan sound grabbed their attention, Harry saw a white, mangled arm reaching up towards the boys from the water.
"Guys, get away from the pond, there's something coming out!" Harry's distressed tone grabbed the attention of the men working on the doors. Remus and Harry jumped to their feet. The glass was now covered with white arms reaching towards the boys.
"Damnit Black, Potter get away from there, Inferi are approaching!" Lucius yelled as he turned and assessed the situation.
"What the fuck are inferi?" Harry demanded.
"They are the lost souls, in the muggle world they would be akin to zombies. They are the corpses of wizards that have been reanimated by a dark wizard. They dwell in water and despise light or heat. If they catch you they will drag you down to join them and you will become one of them."1 Remus answered in his lecture tone. Harry took a moment to flash backward to his third year defense days when Remus would use that same tone. He was getting confused, seeing as it would actually have been a flash forward.
"How do we fight against them?" Draco asked his pale face completely white.
"I doubt we'll have to the glass should hold them there." Lucius answered. Just as Lucius finished there was a cracking sound. "I think I should have listened to Harry's advice. I ginked things eh Harry?"
"Jinxed Lucius, jinxed. And its too late now, they are going to break that glass pretty soon. You and Severus continue with the door. The rest of us will hold them off."
"Again I ask, what do we use against them?" Draco snarled as he rushed forward and grabbed the stunned Gryffindors away from the tank. The glass succumbing to the smashing hands and cracking splendidly; water beginning to spray out.
"Use fire, the Incendio charm or if you can manage it the firestorm curse. You have to use a great deal of control with the last so be careful or we'll all go up in flames." Severus snapped as he and Lucius continued working on combinations.
The glass chose that moment to shatter as the arms continually beat against the confinement. The water rushing out of the confined area, bringing forth some of the pale zombie like creatures. There was thirty feet between the pond and the door. The creatures slow to get up began moving.
"Don't let them get their bearings," Draco shouted as he sent forth an Incendio. The creature he hit didn't die but shrank backwards from the heat. 20 more of the creatures were starting to get up.
"Are you guys almost done?" Harry asked as he shot a charm towards the creatures.
"We're halfway there." Severus yelled back.
James, Sirius and Remus were throwing charms as fast as they could but it wasn't doing much. More of the creatures were rising from the water and the ones hit with charm shrank back but as soon as the spells left them they got back up and started walking again.
"We need something more powerful. I've learned about the Firestorm curse but I'm not powerful enough to caste it." Draco shouted to the others as he kept knocking the creatures back.
"We've never worked with Dark Magic. We wouldn't be able to sustain it." Remus answered logically.
Draco looked at Harry, "You're going to have to caste the spell Har. You guys hold them back while I teach Harry how to caste it."
"Alright the wand motions are circular over your head. It creates a circle of fire around you so you'll have to move forwards. When you have pushed them back say the incantation 'Partis Temporus' and a hole in the ring of fire will appear to allow your escape. Once you have the fire it will remain for as long as you maintain it. You have to be in complete control or you will lose hold on the fire and it will flare around you killing all in its path. So don't fuck this up."2
"Thanks for the confidence Dray," Harry answered sarcastically.
"No worries Har, I have the upmost confidence in you. Alright the incantation is 'Firestorm Maximus'. Also after we leave it will disperse and not burn the Ministry to the ground."
"If you two are done with your tea date we could use some help over here." James shouted as he summoned a chair to knock three of the creatures over.
Harry gathered his will practiced the motions and incantation and then put it all together. The others felt as Harry gathered his power, the intensity of his magic was alluring and suppressing at the same time. He step forwards 7 feet from his comrades and began the motions; as his magic gathered he shouted the incantation.
The whip of orange and yellow raced out of his wand setting out to do harm. Harry felt the magic pull as if it wanted to rip free of his hold. He clenched his teeth and forced the flames to remain in his control towards the inferi. The creatures shrieked as if in pain the flames lapping at their waterlogged flesh.
Faster than any of the men could imagine the creatures fled back into the pond, crying and screaming trying to escape the flames. When the last of the inferi had reentered the pool Harry stated the incantation for his escape. He dropped to his knees as he felt the effects of the use of dark magic. He felt drained, exhausted even. Draco came to his side and lay him down for a few minutes to catch his breath.
"You were great Har, rest here for minute while we wait for Severus and Lucius to finish up." Harry could barely keep his eyes open. James, Sirius and Remus came over.
"Wow, Harry I knew you were powerful but to sustain Firestorm for that long is unbelievable." Remus commented quietly. Harry pierced him with a shrewd look. Remus quickly tried to reassure Harry.
"I don't mean anything by it Harry, its just you were amazing!"
"Yeah, mate! Absolutely awesome!" Sirius chimed in as he clapped Harry's shoulder.
"You were truly amazing Harry," James praised as he lay a hand on Harry's forehead. Harry soaked up the praise from the three men he looked up to as father figures in his future. Gaining the pride of these three men meant more to him than they would ever know.
Severus and Lucius finally finished with the passcode and opened up the door. It lead to another stair case.
Severus came over to Harry and helped him to his feet. Harry leaned heavily on Severus, barely able to walk on his own. Severus looked at his lover and pressed a kiss to his forehead.
"You did really well Harry, its almost over and then we'll go home, take a hot bath and head to bed." Harry smiled as he leaned his head into Severus' neck. Severus passed him a Pepper Up potion which Harry took gladly, feeling some of his strength return. They continued down four flights of stairs and came to two large brass doors. They had reached the Archives. Only one more level to go.
Lucius went first pushing open the door. The hall was pitch black, no light in sight. Lucius nonverbally cast Lumos and still could not see further than a few feet in front of him. He stepped inside and immediately a voice sounded out. It was the same automated voice that Harry remembered from the Muggle London Ministry Telephone booth Entrance.
"Welcome to the Archives Lord Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, age 17 born February 3, 1972." The automated voice stated as the lights came on. The voice began listing features of the Archives that the group could inspect. The room looked like a museum with various artifacts, manuscripts and stones delicately laid upon tables. There were famous books over to the left. The Gryffindors entered behind Lucius, each having their information stated allowed. Harry and Draco shared a concerned look. If they entered the Archives their real names would be stated as well as their birthdays. Harry dropped back to lean on Draco as Severus entered the room.
"What should we do?" Harry questioned as he watched the others enter the room and walk around looking at the artifacts.
"We don't have any choice. We have to get the amulet. Realistically we're here to change the past anyway so if they figure out who we really are it doesn't really matter," Draco answered logically.
"What about Sev? He's going to flip when he finds out I'm James Potter's son."
"I know. Hopefully the time we've spent here will help that. Plus look they are working together now?" Harry looked up as Severus shot James a dirty look followed by scathing words.
"Yeah, they are doing so well."
"Let's get this over with," Draco stated as he walked forwards. As soon as his foot hit the flagstone the automated voice sounded up again.
"Welcome to the Archives Young Lord Draco Lucius Malfoy, age 18 born June 5, 1992." The group in front of Harry and Draco froze. Slowly turning towards them even the normally well controlled Slytherins had looks of shock on their faces. Harry took the opportunity to step into the room.
"Welcome to the Archives Young Lord Harry James Potter, age 18 born July 31, 1992." Gasps came forth from the Gryffindors of the group. Harry looked up to see his father looking at him strangely. Severus on the other hand had a look of fury. Harry sighed realizing this was going to be a long, bathless night.
Draco shook his head, bringing their attention to their forced mutism. Draco motioned with a glance back at the brass doors which had now shut.
Severus simply stalked away, his black robes billowing in the non-existent wind. Lucius followed after him. The Gryffindors remained giving the two questioning looks. Sirius began to follow Lucius taking Remus' and nudging James to follow.
Harry looked on at the men he had just received prideful words only to feel their extreme disappointment.
There were no surprises in the Archives. Within five minutes they had reached the other side of the hall and were faced with another set of brass doors leading to another set of stairs. Going down two flights they were finally faced with the final set of doors. This time the doors were gold. Inscribed on them were the words the group had longed to see, The Hall of Records.
Harry looked at the other men and saw their looks of confusion and in some cases anger. He turned to Draco and quietly spoke.
"It hurts Dray, I've never before worried about disappointing someone. Now I feel as though I've let the world down." Draco wrapped his arm around Harry's shoulder and began to follow the others.
"Its what happens when you have parents Harry. Why do you think I worked so hard to please mine. That feeling you get when they are proud of you or happy with your accomplishments there's nothing quite like it." Harry nodded as he and Draco went to catch up.
Lucius went to the door and pressed his hand to place where there was an indent. The door opened shortly thereafter.
If the Archives had been splendid then the Hall of Records was magnificent. They entered a room and lights came on. They were at the top of a vast room filled with even more precious artifacts. The walls were lined with bookshelves from floor to ceiling, there were three levels of just precious books. On the ground floor lay the majority of the artifacts. The full rosetta stone lay off to the side. The Egyptian religious books of Black and Gold. Artifacts from all over the world and in ancient times. The collection from the ancient library of Alexandria lay in one corner and the texts from old England lay in the other. The Holy Grail itself lay enshrined in glass close to the old English section. The seven walked down the grand staircase went through hall their eyes wandering as they saw the amazing pieces of history.
"Where will we find the Amulet of the Serpents?" Harry questioned as he realized how vast the room was.
"The Amulet of the Serpents came from a group of people in the Amazon. They were called the Sapentia. They worshiped snakes and serpents of all kinds.
The amulet was said to help them control the snakes around them as well as gave the wearer certain powers. No one knows for sure what the powers were but they are said to be quite extensive," Severus answered without looking in Harry's direction.
"Thus, they will be in the section with the Amazonian relics." Remus concluded.
"Why don't we just ask this chamber?" Sirius piped up from the side.
"What you want us to just say Hall of Records tell us where to find the Amulet of the Serpents?" Lucius commented exasperatedly.
The automated voice of the Hall of Records appeared again.
"The Amulet of the Serpents is located in seventh aisle to the left." Lucius looked up and scowled.
"Of course it would do that," Lucius muttered on about the annoyance of Gryffindors and their dumb luck.
They came to the seventh aisle and in the middle saw the an amulet resting upon a table surround glass. Lucius gave Sirius another dirty look before resigning himself to trying out Sirius' method.
"Chamber deliver the Amulet of the Serpents to me."
"As you command Lord Malfoy," The chamber replied as the amulet vanished from its case and appeared in Lucius' hand wrapped in a velvet cloth bag. Sirius smirked at the Slytherin.
"Let's get out of here, the special exit is down aisle twelve," Lucius stated while ignoring Sirius' look.
They walked down the twelfth aisle. There was a dish of marble at the end of the aisle. Lucius pulled out a dagger and slashed his hand. Allowing a stream of his blood to fall into the dish, he spoke some words in a foreign language and a doorway appeared off to the left side. Lucius motioned for them to follow.
"What language was that?" Harry asked as Draco helped him along.
"Ancient Sumerian, the Malfoy family was originally from Babylon and then Greece before settling in France I believe. We are one of the most ancient families." They followed along the torch lit corridor for what seemed like forever. Finally, they came to the end of the hall way. Lucius repeated the same phrase and another door appeared. When the passed through they were back in the same meeting room they had left all those hours ago. Harry checked his watch and realized four and half hours had passed. They had arrived at four in the afternoon.
"Here's the quill, everyone grab on," Lucius then activated the portkey.
