Chapter 2
"Is there anything else we need to discuss before we conclude this meeting?" Dumbledore asked with a causal air, despite the fact that Molly and Arthur Weasley just brought up the issue of the boy who lived and when he would be brought to Grimmauld Place. Harry resisted the urge to growl as the headmaster ignored the Weasleys asking for him to be brought to headquarters. Instead he settled for glowering at the old man rather darkly. Harrys instincts were telling him that there was something up with the way Dumbledore was trying to avoid the topic of the boy who lived and his eyes narrowed briefly.
Harry noticed that both Remus and Snape's eyes briefly flickered in his direction before focusing completely on the old man once more, it was almost like they wanted him to pay close attention to this for some reason. Harry's eyes narrowed again as he noticed that there was a bit of a dark expression on both men's faces as they looked at Dumbledore. He wondered what the old man could have done to put that kind of expression on the faces of both Remus and Snape when the two men didn't have much that they agreed on. He briefly wondered if they had the same expression because of Dumbledore blatantly ignoring the mention of his supposed 'Golden Boy'. He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned more firmly against the wall in his dark corner and continued to observe the room and its occupants. He made sure that he was still wrapped in the shadows of his dark corner as he studied everyone; his gaze lingered on Snape as he looked the man over carefully and noted that even though the man was much paler than normal, he still looked rather healthy.
"Meeting," Snape snorted under his breath with a scowl. "Meeting my ass. A waste of time is more like it." Harry was just barely able to contain any sound of amusement that he was tempted to voice at the soft spoken words; it wasn't time to reveal himself yet so he forced himself to remain silent.
"I believe some of us wished to speak about Harry, Albus." Remus said, much to the obvious displeasure of Dumbledore. "You've been avoiding the subject of Harry for weeks now. Some of us would like some answers." It sounded like Remus was having a hard time keeping a growl out of his voice. "It's getting rather annoying, Albus." He added as an after thought.
"Yes," Molly said immediately. "Arthur and I have been asking all summer when we could go get Harry and bring him here and you've avoided the question each and every time. This is, after all, his house." Molly was practically growling at Dumbledore in annoyance.
Harry blinked in surprise at hearing that. He hadn't know that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had been trying to get Dumbledore to bring him here all summer; Ron had never mentioned that bit of information in any of his letters, but that could likely be explained that he didn't want to get Harry's hopes up of escaping the Dursleys only to have that hope crushed. Harry took a quick look around the table and noticed how some members of the Order seemed to shift in their seats in a guilty manner, while others gave Dumbledore dark looks. Harry smirked as he realized that all was not well within the Order. He also noticed that every so often that Snape's eyes would flicker toward him and his dark corner briefly before glancing about the whole room. The man seemed to be more uncomfortable than usual and it made Harry wonder what could be the cause of it. He also wondered if there might be more to the way the potions master's eyes kept flickering from himself to many of the others in the room. Could it be that the older man might to be trying to give some type of silent warning that there were some in the room that there were some involved in something suspicious that could be going on behind his back? Harry's expressly went dark at that thought, but realized that it was a pretty good possibility with the way some of the Order members were acting. Once again he wondered who he could really trust and who he could add to his list to seek vengeance against. As he forced his blank mask back into place he knew he was going to be more careful than he thought around some of these pathetic fools. There was a cold look in Harry's eyes as he briefly met the eyes of both of the men who knew he was here. For a moment, Harry wondered why Moody wasn't here at this so called meeting before Snape spoke up.
"The boy is of age today." Snape stated in a bored tone as he looked toward the Weasleys. Harry knew that the man was purposely giving them an opening just by taking in the self satisfied look the man had on his face.
"Yes!" Molly exclaimed. "Severus brings up a good point, Albus. What possible reason could you have now with that valid point?" She had a triumphant look about her as she looked to the headmaster. Why were some of the Order members so determined to get Harry here to his own house while others seemed just as determined as the headmaster to ignore the topic? It made Harry even more suspicious as to who he could trust in this bloody organization of Dumbledore's.
Dumbledore directed a brief dirty look toward his potions master for his comment before he focused on Molly; he and many of the others didn't notice it when Kreature silently popped into the room to start cleaning. "As I have already stated before," Dumbledore began, "I do not see the point of uprooting Harry from where he is when this is his last summer with his family. Harry is perfectly fine there and will remain there until I say so."
"You has no say in what Kreature's master's affairs might be." Kreature's voice snapped as he set the table before he planned on making breakfast. He knew his master was in the room and planned on making his master breakfast. "Kreature's master will do as master wishes from now on and headmaster cans do nothing to stop master." The elf nodded his head as he glared at Dumbledore. "It is master's life, master wills do as he sees fit to dos from this day forward!"
Dumbledore gave the old house elf a very dark look of contempt. Harry watched that whole exchange with a small smirk on his face. He knew that if the old man pushed it, the house elf would get riled up enough to toss the headmaster out of the house. Harry was glad that Kreature was so loyal to him; after all, once winning Kreature's loyalty the elf would never waver in his devotion to him and knew that Kreature would do what he thought best for his master. Harry wondered why Dumbledore was giving Kreature such a dark look when the Weasleys, Remus, & Snape were giving the elf an appraising look, though Snape's look was harder to read than the others. If anyone dared to try to do anything to his house elf, there would be hell to pay and that hell would be very painful to the idiot that tried it. Harry would protect anyone who is loyal to him and that included both Kreature and Dobby. Harry could feel that it was getting closer to being time to reveal himself to these idiots. Well, okay, not all of the people who were in the room were actually idiots, but some of them definitely were and Harry wanted them out of his house sooner rather than later. He was fairly certain that some of them would flee as soon as they could after the realized that he was here, while others might be stupid enough to try to spy on him like they attempted to do while he had been stuck at Private Drive.
Harry's mind wandered to his revenge list. He wondered how many people would be added to it like the Dursleys. He had a feeling that there were going to be a lot of people on that list after he got rid of that bastard Voldemort. Voldemort was at the top of his vengeance list, partly because the monster had murdered his parents, and because the fucker just didn't now when to leave Harry alone and he was looking forward to killing the bastard. He was also looking forward to killing that damn rat Pettigrew for betraying the Potter family. That bitch Bellatrix was going to have to die as well for killing Sirius. The Dursleys would have to wait until Harry could think of a way to take care of them without the blame being placed on himself and that he could find someone to take the blame for what he planned on doing to his disgusting relatives. Maybe he could make someone his scapegoat for his revenge on the vile Dursleys; perhaps a Death Eater would do as a good scapegoat after snake face Voldemort is gone? That idea sure had some merit to it. All of this went through Harry's mind in a matter of seconds before he forced his attention back to this pathetic excuse of an Order meeting. He could think of who to add to his mental hit list... er, vengence list, because not everyone on that list deserved the release of death from their punishment for wronging the boy who lived.
"I am afraid that is where you would be wrong, Kreature." Dumbledore stated as calmly as he could when he as so annoyed at the old house elf's boldness. "I do very much still have a say in Harry's life and affairs as long as he is one of my students." He stated in a somewhat smug voice. Let the vile creature dispute that.
"Master Harry Potter-Black cans do as he wishes with his affairs and yous would be wise to leaves him bes." Kreature stated defiantly. He was liking this old meddler less and less and he would speak his mind to this fooling human because he knew his master would protect him from some of these filthy humans. "This bes Kreature's master's house and yous has no authority not granted to yous by master Harry or former master Sirius."
"Well, I guess since Harry is not here yet he has no say in what happens in this house since Sirius gave me authority over you before he died." Dumbledore snapped.
"I'm afraid that you would be wrong, Professor Dumbledore." A dark voice stated as Kreature puffed himself up in indignation at the audacity of the old wizard. Harry had finally seen and heard enough and stepped out of the shadows and came to a stop next to his elf with his head held high.
