Naruko walked out of the her bathroom wearing only a towel, Shikamaru had his back to her and an evil smile crossed her face, "Sneak Attack no Jutsu," she shouted tackling him from behind.

"You don't announce sneak attacks…baka," Shikamaru said in his lazy tone, then he turned to see Naruko in only her towel he quickly turned back around his face beat red, "go put something on, troublesome blond."

"I do have something on!" she shouted back at him. Hinata and Sakura stepped into the hall way to see what was going on.

"What's going on?" Sakura asked.

"Shikamaru is being mean to me," she said tears up in her eyes. Shikamaru turned to look at a very angry Sakura.

All he managed to get out before the beating started was, "troublesome blond," before his cries of pain could be heard all over England.

Harry shot up out of bed at the sound, "Ron, did you hear that?"

"Yeah, I did…what do you think that was?" Ron asked.

"I don't know but whatever it was, they sounded like they were in great pain," Harry said looking out the window. The next few weeks Harry and his friends were put to work getting ready for Bill and Fleur's wedding which was to be head the day after Harry's birthday.

Harry noticed that the Jobs that Mrs. Weasley was giving them kept him from interacting with Ron or Hermione. Harry wanted to believe it was keep their minds off the recent events, but he was sure it was to keep them from making plans about where they were going after the wedding.

On Harry's birthday Rufus Scrimgeour paid him a visit to hand over the things left to them in Dumbledore's will. Everything but the sword of Gryffindor, which Scrimgeour said it didn't belong to Dumbledore so he had no right to give it away.

The wedding the next day was a beautiful affair, Ron was less than happy to see Viktor Krum. During the reception he took a seat with Harry, Ron and Hermione, even thou he didn't know it was Harry, because he had take polyjuice potion so that no one would know it was him.

"Vo is that," Viktor asked. Harry turned to see a blond girl with bright blue eyes, Harry had seen her before but he couldn't remember where he had seen her. Harry got up his eyes went blank as they met hers. He walked towards her; a few people Ginny noticed this along with Ron and Hermione.

"Hello Harry happy birthday I brought you a gift," she whispered in his ear slipping a piece of paper into his front pocket. When he came back to his senses she was gone. Harry shock his head, his mind felt s fuzzy he walked back to the party.

"Who was that?" Hermione asked sounding worried. While Ron gave him the thumbs up and Ginny shout him a glare and Luna even gave her attempt of a glare but it didn't have the same effect as when Ginny or Hermione did it.

"I don't know," Harry said.

"What did she want?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know?" he said again feeling more foolish by the minute.

"She said something to you what did she say?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know?" he said his head dropped.

"What do you know?" Ginny snapped at him.

"I know when I looked into her eyes my mind went completely blank and the next thing I know I am standing over there alone," Harry said. Then something silver crashed into the center of the tent and it spoke in Kingley's deep voice.

"Scrimgeour is dead the ministry has fallen, they are coming," everyone started to panic, but as the Death Eaters started to show up a piece of paper fell on the ground and slowly started to burn keeping the Death Eaters out.

"Harry we have to go," Hermione said taking him and Ron by the arm and before he was forced to aperate he saw her again with a smile small smile on her face then but it was her eyes that drew him in the bright blue just like Professor Namikaze. They ended up Tottenham Court Road; they walked into a coffee shop but where soon followed by a couple of Death Eaters. They decided that they had to go somewhere else before they were found again, and the only place they could think of, was Number twelve Grimmauld Place. They walked into the house; it looked as if someone had been there.

Harry took a step into the house, "Severus Snape?"

Mad-Eye Moody's voice whispered out of the darkness, making all three of the jump back in fright.

"We're not Snape!" choked out Harry, before something whooshed over him like cold air and his tongue curled backwards on itself, making it impossible to speak. Before he had time to feel inside his mouth, however his tongue had unraveled,

"That m-must have b-been the T-Tongue-Tying Curse Mad Eye set up for Snape!" Hermione stammered.

Harry took another step, something shifted in the shadows at the end of the hall, and before any of them could say another word a figure had risen up out of the carpet, tall, dust colored, and terrible: Hermione screamed and so did Mrs. Black, her curtains flying open; the gray figure was gliding towards them, faster and faster, its waist-length hair and beard streaming behind it, its face sunken, fleshless, with empty eye sockets: Horribly familiar dreadfully altered, it raised a wasted arm pointing at Harry.

"No! It was us! We didn't kill you…"

The figure exploded in a great cloud of dust. They quickly silenced Mrs. Black and before Harry could go deeper in the house, Hermione stopped him, "Homenum revelio."

Nothing happened, "well you just had a big shock," Ron said kindly. "What was that suppose to do?"

"It did what I meant it to do!" Hermione said rather crossly. "That was a spell to reveal human presence, and there is nobody here except us!"

"And old Dust," Ron said looking at the spot on the carpet, before they went deeper into the house. They got word from Mr. Weasley saying that everyone was alright and for them not to reply because they were being watched.

The three friends decided that to stay in the living room for tonight. They let Hermione have the coach while they found the most comfortable thing to sleep.

While they slept Naruko stepped from the shadows, she noticed Harry was shivering; she quickly found him a blanket and placed it over the top of him. She looked over at Ron and Hermione who had fallen asleep holding hands. After she was sure that they were fine she went upstairs into one of the bedrooms and lay down on the bed to get some sleep.

The next morning when Harry woke up the blanket slipped off of him, he figured that Ron or Hermione must have put it on him last night. He went up stairs and noticed that it looked as if someone had gone thru the rooms in search of something. He as he looked around Sirius's and inside he found a note written by his mother addressed to Sirius he read it over again only to come to the same conclusion there was a page missing.

"Harry!" he heard from down stairs.

"I am up here!" he called back and Hermione opened the door.

"Did you do this?" she asked looking around.

"No it was like this when I got here," he answered, "the other rooms are like this too."

They made their way back down stairs to meet up with Ron when Harry stop when he saw the name on the door "Regulus Arcturus Black" RAB.

"Hermione look at this," he said as calmly as he could her eyes widened in realization.

"Ron, come here!" she called down.

"If it has anything to do with spiders I want to eat breakfast first," he called up but he came up anyway. He looked between Hermione and where she was point, "so what its Sirius's brother."

"His initials Ron," Hermione said happily.

"RAB, hold on RAB the bloke that stole the locket it was Sirius's brother?"

"Yes he was a death Eater so he might have known about the Horcruxes," Harry said but after trying to find it and failing they were about to give up when an idea struck Harry.
