McGonagall
The next morning the four Gryffindors went to the great hall for breakfast. When Harry spotted Neville Longbottom, he walked up the table and sat down next to him.
“Hey Neville, how are you?” He asked.
“Harry where were you guys. Professor McGonagall came looking for you last night. She was very worried when she couldn´t find you.”
“I can´t talk about it here. Do you have time after class? I want to talk with you and Luna.”
“Sure, where do you want to meet?”
“Hmh… we could meet at the lake. Ron, Ginny and Mione will be there too.”
“Alright I talk to Luna and we will be there.”
“Thanks mate.” Neville gave him a small smile.
“Mr. Potter, Miss Granger and Miss/Mr. Weasley!” Came an angry voice from behind them. Harry turned around and met the face from his head of house.
“I do think you owe me an explanation. Professor Dumbledore wanted to speak with you last night and when I came to the common room to fetch you, you were nowhere to be found. I then wanted to talk to your friends. You can understand my surprise when not one of the Gryffindors could tell me where to find the four of you. What do you have to say for yourself? Do you want to tell me why none of your belongings are at Gryffindor tower?”
“I am sorry Professor, but I will not talk about it here. If you so wish you can name me a time and I will come to your office to explain myself. I am sorry but I´m afraid it´s my fault that my friends weren´t there either.”
“Alright mister Potter, you will come to my office after dinner. Now you should go and see the headmaster. I´m afraid I told him about your absence, and he too will have questions.”
“I will Professor, I will go right away.” He looked at his friends and told them he sees them in class before he left for Dumbledor´s office.
“Potter!” Harry turned around and looked at his teacher. She came closer and dropped her voice, so no one overheard them.
“The password is peppermint toads” she said before dismissing him and Harry was on his way.
Harry knocked at the door and was called in by Dumbledore. He stepped inside the office and saw Dumbledore sitting behind his desk.
“Harry my boy, it´s nice to see you. I was quite worried when Professor McGonagall couldn´t find you last night. Tell me where you have been.” Harry looked at him and sat down in front of his desk.
“I´m sorry that I worried you. My friends and I where in the room of requirement.”
“Ok, you do know Harry that we have a curfew, so what was that important that you and your friends decided to ignore our school rules?”
“I wanted to come and talk to you about exactly that headmaster. My friends and I were out last night because we discussed the DA or rather if we should start it up again.”
“I hardly see the need since Umbridge is no longer at this school Harry.”
“I know Professor but don´t you think it would be a good idea to train as much as possible. We are at war after all, and the more people know how to fight the bigger the odds to win and fewer to lose too many people. We want to be prepared when we join the order.”
“I can see the merit in your thoughts, but it is a teacher’s job to teach you all you need to know. If you are unsatisfied with your training…” Harry cut in.
“No, I am not Professor. I didn´t mean to imply that, I just think the more training the better, I want me and my friends to survive this war is all.” He looked at him forcing fear to appear on his face. Dumbledore sighed and Harry grinned on the inside. That sigh was his answer. Dumbledore would give his permission.
“Maybe you would feel better about it if a teacher were present? I could ask around if one of them is willing to oversee these meetings. Please Professor I have to do something, or I will lose my mind.” Dumbledore sighed again.
“Alright Harry, I am on board if we can find a teacher willing to play along. I will ask Severus at lunch. He is the dark arts professor and should be the best man for the job.” Harry laughed inside remembering Severus words form last night.
I bet you all I have that he is going to volunteer me
“Harry there is another thing. Why are all your things missing from the dormitory? Professor McGonagall told me Mr. Weasleys things are missing as well.”
“Oh that, Hermione and I talked about it at the end of last year. She pointed out that it could be possible that Voldemort will not wait until I finish school to attack. She said that she is surprised that he didn´t already. She told me it would be good if I keep all my stuff at my person when I am not in the dormitory in case I will have to disappear quickly. She packed a few extra things in there for survival in case I get injured or need money. She, Ron and Ginny did the same. Hermione is muggle born, she always has a flight plan and Voldemort considers the Weasleys as blood traitors, so they wanted to be prepared as well.”
“That was very good thinking on Miss Grangers part. Good Harry, I know that the end of the school year is still far away, but I want you to think about what to do when you leave Hogwarts in the summer. We will have to find you someplace to stay. You will not be able to stay at the Weasleys at all times since that puts them in great danger so we will have to figure something out.”
“Yes Professor.”
“Good, please go to your class. I wrote you a note explaining why you are late.”
“Thank you, headmaster,” Harry said and left for herbology.
The School day went by rather quickly and after classes ended Harry and his friends made their way to the lake. They sat down by the water. It was still warm, and Harry enjoyed the feeling of sun on his skin. They sat there for about ten minutes in silence, all of them thinking about the future when Ginny spotted Neville and Luna at the front door of the castle.
“Here they come.” She said and it was only a few minutes later that the two of them sat down next to them.
“Hi Luna,” Harry said, “thanks for coming.”
“Hello, it is such a beautiful day. What do you want to talk about Harry?” She asked. Harry took out his wand and spoke all the privacy and silencing charms he knew before looking at his friends.
“Would one of you explain? I´m not really in the mood to talk.” He looked at Hermione and she sighed but nodded.
“Before we tell you anything I will have to ask you not make a vow not to talk about this with anyone, but the people present at the moment at least not until we tell you it is okay.”
Luna and Neville looked at each other but both already knew what the other was thinking.
“Sure, lets do it.” They took out their wands and made the vow. Hermione nodded satisfied.
“There are a lot of things you need to know.” And so, she went on to tell them everything. Harry was sitting quietly next to his friends but not really listening. He was worried sick. Severus wasn´t at lunch and he didn´t turn up to DADA later either. While he sat in class listening to Professor Flitwick, (who stepped in for Snape) his scar started hurting. It wasn´t too bad but he knew Voldemort was mad about something. Harry knew the only reason Severus wasn´t here was that he was summoned. His stomach felt sick ever since and he prayed that the man would come back soon. Harry looked up when he heard Neville coughing. He looked at him and Neville looked away quickly red spots of embarrassment on his face.
“You, ok?” Harry asked. He had not heard what Hermione had told him, but he had an idea.
“Is it true?”
“Is what true?”
“About you and Professor Snape, are you guys together or something?”
“Or something yes, I don´t now what the thing is between us, but it is true that I like him a lot and want to see where this goes.” Neville looked at him disbelieving.
“Is that why you are so absent Harry?” Luna asked. “You seem worried, you are here but you are not.” Harry nodded.
“He was summoned. I hope he´s okay.”
“He will be. Don´t worry Harry,” Ginny said. Harry gave his friend a thankful smile.
“I want to join right away Harry,” Luna said “and I will be hearing around in Ravenclaw. I´m quite sure many of them would want to join you. All you have to do is give them the facts of Dumbledores betrayal and they will conclude that the only logical choice is to stand with you.”
“Thanks Luna, that’s great.”
“I´m in too, Harry. I am not so sure about the Gryffindor’s though. It will not be easy to get them to believe all that Dumbledore did. For me it wasn´t so hard. My gran always told me that there are reasons why she never joined the order.” Harry nodded.
“Gryffindor´s are loyal and unfortunately most of them wouldn´t even listen to you if you say one bad word about the headmaster. I´m fairly sure Dean will come around, but I am convinced that Seamus will not.”
“Right, he always had strong opinions.” Harry said.
“And Malfoy doesn´t want to be a death eater? I can´t believe it.”
“It´s true, I would never date him if he would.” Ginny said and Luna smiled at her.
“It´s going to be an interesting year.” They all agreed and after a few more minutes left to get dinner. When they sat down Harry looked at Hermione and asked:
“What do you think would be the best way to approach McGonagall? I don´t want to overrun her with all this. She knows Dumbledore better than anyone. Severus told me she didn´t want Dumbledore to give me to the Dursleys. She tried to convince him not to leave me there. I´m just not quite sure how to approach. I think I can get her on our site I just don´t know how.”
“She will want to know where we were. Just tell her what you told Dumbledore and mention that you got his blessing and for the rest I wouldn´t to be honest. I think it would be better if Severus speaks with her. Let him explain and let her come to you when she´s ready. She will need a little time to prosses that her friend is a murdering, child abusing lunatic.” Harry looked at her.
“Harry, he may never lay a hand on you, but he certainly knew about the abuse. You told us that your Hogwarts letter was addressed to the cupboard after all, and he did nothing to stop it. I bet in the letter he left with you all those years ago he strongly suggested the Dursley´s treat you as they have. He needed you to be the broken, grateful boy so that he can manipulate you to his liking. He is an evil man and as soon as she will realise that she will be furious about what that man put you through.” She ended with a grim face. Harry took his bag and searched inside for a piece of parchment he wanted to give Ron and Hermione. He found it and handed it to them.
“These are all the properties I have. Aros sent me the updated list this morning. The founder’s properties should be on there now as well. I want you to look through them and pick a few we can look at on Saturday. We need to find a new headquarters. Dumbledore told me this morning that he wants me to think about what I do after I leave here. It should be big enough for us four and Draco. It must be one of the unplottable houses so a few of them are out already. It should be in the country but not to close to Hogwarts or the ministry. I want Severus to have his own room there too. I would prefer him being in mine, but should it not work between us he needs his own space.” He looked at them.
“We will look through them.”
“Maybe Ron should do it alone. I would feel better if you get started on researching what do with the contract. I want to bring Malfoy in soon, but I will not until we have that done.”
“Alright Harry I will get on it right after dinner. I should get all the information I need in the books in your library.”
“Thank you. Ron, before you look at the list please write to Fred and George and tell them we want to meet on Sunday. Tell them I will pick them up at the shop please.”
“I will.”
“Good, I have to hurry, or I will be late. I do not want to make McGonagall mad.”
“That is a wise, she could turn you into a mouse and play with you if she wanted.” Ron said and Harry laughed.
“See you later we meet at our place. Please if Severus comes back while I´m still gone, make sure he isn´t injured and if he is look after him.”
“Of course, mate, will do,” Ron said, and Harry left for McGonagall´s office.
