A/N: Sorry for not posting yesterday... we left Shrewsbury at two and got back at six. We then had dinner, and I did my piece for The Quidditch League Fanfiction Competition, and I was exausted. So to make up for it, I will either do two today, or two tomorrow.
Enjoy ;-)
Chapter 20 – Extendable Ears
For the rest of the day, Larissa and Harry had wandered around aimlessly about the house, and chatted about nothing in particular, that was, until the Order members started arriving.
They heard the umbrella stand in the hall be knocked over, and they knew that Tonks had arrived.
'Hey, Tonks!' Larissa said, beaming, she rushed over to give her friend a hug.
'Wotcher Lissy,' Tonks replied
'Hello Nymphadora,' Remus said, coming into the hall
'Don't call me Nymphadora Remus.' Tonks said, her hair turning a little red. Remus smiled and walked back into the dining room, without correcting himself.
'Hello Tonks,' Harry said
'Wotcher Harry,'
'Larissa! Harry!' Bella called from the upstairs hall.
'Yeah?' Larissa called up the stairs
'Say hello, then it's time for bed.'
'Fine.' Larissa grumbled and, she and Harry said hello to every one and then went upstairs to bed.
Larissa sat up in bed, she wasn't tired at all. She looked around her dark room, and an idea suddenly popped into her head. She carefully got out of bed and put on her slippers and dressing gown, before quietly rushing out of her room, and into a room down the hall that Fred and George usually stayed in. Her eyes scanned the dark room, and she started pulling open all of the draws looking in them. With no success, she then looked under the bed, again, it wasn't there.
She looked over at a painting on the wall, and remembered something from when she was younger.
'Lissy! Come here, we've got something to show you,' Fred said, grabbing Larissa's hand and pulling her into the room that they stayed in normally.
'Watch, but you have to promise not to tell anyone,'
'Okay, I won't tell no one.' She replied smiling
'Good, you'd better not, not even when you're older.'
'Never.' She replied shaking her head
'Okay, watch,' George took the painting off of the wall, and behind it was a hole. They had hidden all sorts of things in there, including sweets and things that their mother had confiscated.
Larissa took the painting off of the wall, but before she could, the painting quietly asked for a password.
'Erm, Weasley Wizard Wheezes.' The portrait allowed itself to be taken off of the wall, and inside it was a collection of WWW products. She saw a skiving snack box, extendable ears, fake wands, and so much more. She grabbed up an extendable ear, and put the portrait back onto the wall.
Larissa dashed into Harry's room, and shook him awake. 'Harry!' she whispered excitedly 'Look,' she held up the extendable ear to him,
'Where did you get that?'
'I found it,' she replied vaguely.
Harry got up and they crept onto the upstairs landing and reeled down the extendable ear, and under the door.
'Arthur, you're on guard duty, for the first week back, Nymphadora, you're this week, and Remus, next week.' Moody said
'Okay, but Tonks and I can't be caught there, or we'll loose our jobs.' Arthur replied
'I know that,' Moody continued, 'We will take precautions, but if the worst comes to the worst, it needs to be protected from Voldemort, and that is much more important than any job.'
'We know Mad Eye,' Tonks said,
'Under NO circumstances, can he get it, or the world will be doomed. We must do absolutely everything we can to stop him.'
'Nymphadora, isn't there somewhere you should be?'
'Oh, right. I'll go do guard duty then. And don't call me Nymphadora Mad Eye.'
'Do the Imperturbable Charm on your way out will you?'
'You think Harry and Lissa are using extendable ears?'
'This eye can see through doors.'
Harry cursed silently, and Larissa bit her lip, they had forgotten about Moody's magical eye. They quickly reeled up the ear, and quietly ran back to their bedrooms, panting, Larissa put the extendable ear back in Fred and George's room.
