A cry for help
Harry woke late the next day. It was already eleven o´clock and when he opened his eyes, he noticed that Severus was already up. He climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Twenty minutes later he was dressed and ready to get some breakfast. When he came into the kitchen the only person there was Ron.
“Hey man, how did it go last night.” He asked with a grin on his face while he tried to decide what he wanted to eat. Every day the house elves left piles of food for them for every meal. He chose a mushroom ham omelette with fresh herbs, a blueberry muffin and a big mug of coffee.
“Actually, it went well that´s why I waited for you. I wanted to ask if it´s alright if Cho joins us at the burrow today. I want her to meet mum and dad and thought that if she´s there we don´t have to explain everything to her as well. “
“I don´t see why not. So, she agreed to be your girlfriend?”
“Yeah.” Ron said and smiled.
“How did the thing with you two happen?”
“A few months after you went out with her back in fifth year, I met her in the owlery. She looked sad and I asked if she is okay. First, she didn´t want to talk about it so we just talked about quidditch and schoolwork for a while. She thanked me for cheering her up and told me that she missed Cedric still. She said she hoped that you two would work out since she liked you even before she went out with Cedric but when it didn´t she became depressed. After Marietta told Umbitch about the DA the two of them got into a fight and Marietta blamed her for everything since she didn´t wanna be part of the DA and only did it because Cho didn´t want to go alone. Marietta turned everyone in Ravenclaw against her, well except Luna but the two of them weren´t very close. After that day we met up in the owlery twice a week and just talked a bit.” Harry noticed that Ron couldn´t stop smiling while he talked about Cho.
“And after you two became friends, you started thinking about asking her out?” He asked his friend.
“Yeah, I liked her for so long, but I always thought she wouldn´t be into me since I am your best friend and all but yesterday when I told her that I fell for her she told me that she felt the same for some time now and we got together.”
“I´m so happy for you Ron really. I think you two will be great together.”
“Thanks mate, you’re a good friend.”
“Have you seen Mione this morning?”
“No, not yet but I bet she already ate early so she could keep reading the journals until we have to leave.”
“I love that girl.”
“Me too, imagine where we would be if she hadn´t been with us all those years. I know I wouldn´t have passed all my classes and we probably be dead or at least seriously injured if she hadn´t saved us from our stupidity.”
“I still can´t believe we went after Sev almost every year trying to find out what he´s up to. She always told us we should trust him, and she was right, as always.” They talked for another while before Ron got up to get Cho while Harry went to look for Hermione.
At the Burrow Molly Weasley was running around in the kitchen to get ready all the food Harry loved to eat most. Since he didn´t get to come over the summer she wanted to surprise him today. Arthur was supposed to be back any minute. He left work early so he could be home when the kids came for lunch. She looked out of the window and saw her husband walking up to the house. She opened the door to greet him, and she gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before sitting down at the kitchen table tiredly rubbing his eyes.
It was twelve thirty when the door opened and Ron came in followed by Harry, Hermione and a girl they didn´t know.
“HARRY! My dear it is so good to see you. It has been too long. Please sit, I made all your favourites.”
“Thank you Mrs. Weasley, it´s good to see you too. That´s great I missed your cooking.” The red-haired witch looked at him with a fond smile before giving him a big hug. When she let him go, she gave her son and Hermione a hug as well before turning to Cho smiling at her.
“Hello dear, I´m Molly, and this is my husband Arthur, it´s nice to meet you.” She extended her hand which the girl took with a smile.
“Mum, Dad this is Cho Chang, my girlfriend.” Ron said placing his arm around her waist and pulling her a little closer.
“Well, welcome to our home Cho, please sit down, lunch will be ready in two minutes.”
They ate talking about this and that before retiring to the living room. Harry nervously nestled with his shirt. No, he was not ready for this.
In another part of England, a young man tried desperately to find a way to get a message to get delivered. He had no idea how to get in contact with the one person who could help him get out of the hell he called his life. He paced in his room when he heard a tapping noise against the window. When he looked, he found a beautiful white owl sitting on the windowsill. He knew that owl, he had seen it a hundred times. Relieved he opened the window, and the owl took his letter and immediately turned to fly off again.
Yes, now all I have to do is go to the meeting place. Please, please let him come.
Harry felt a weight had been lifted from his heart. Molly and Arthur had reacted as anyone but him expected. They were outraged at what had happened to him and even more so after they had found out that Dumbledore neglected to do anything about it. Harry had told them anything they knew so far, mentioning that they found new evidence just yesterday and that they were spending time going trough everything. What had shocked Harry was the reaction Cho had showed after he had ended his explanations. She sat next to Ron, starring at the fire saying not a word while Molly was renting and crying. After twenty minutes her face changed, and a smile crept on her lips. Upon seeing her face, Harry became goose bumps. He knew that face, Hermione got the same expression when plans were building in her head. Harry couldn´t help the thought that the headmaster was in deep for it know. Hermione, Cho and Minerva McGonagall together would be able to do a great deal of harm.
Harry glanced at his watch before looking around the room when his gaze landed on Hermione she raised her eyebrows and Harry looked at her a puzzled expression on his face. She gave him a wicked grin before saying loudly:
“You conveniently left out the part of your new relationship.” She said laughing when Harry coughed and looked at her angrily.
“Oh, Harry, you found someone? How wonderful” Molly gushed.
“Who is the lucky girl?” Harry went from looking from Hermione to Mrs. Weasley when he spotted something out of the corner of his eyes. He turned and looked out the window and was surprised to see Hedwig. He let her in and she landed on his arm. He took the letter from her and stroked her feathers before looking at the envelope. All it said on the front was his name and he almost chocked when he read the name of the sender.
Dudley
Was all it said, and Harry opened to read what his cousin wanted.
Harry,
I need your help. I know I probably don´t deserve it but I don´t know who else to turn to. Please meet me at the place you ended up on the roof ones when we were “playing”. Hurry, please!
Dudley
Harry sprang out of his seat and made his way to the door. For Dudley to contact him, something bad must have had happened.
“I have to go.” Harry said.
“Harry where are you going. What is going on?” Hermione asked fearfully.
“I don´t know yet, wait here till I come back.”
“No Harry! We´re coming with you.”
“Not this time Ron.”
“Yes, this time and all the times you need us.”
“I said no Ron!”
“But Harry!!” Hermione said.
“You two listen to me right now. You swore to follow my orders. I am telling you to stay put. End of discussion. This is a personal thing, should I need you I will say so and now back of!!” He hated speaking to his friends in that way, but they gave him no other choice. He also knew that they wouldn´t be mad so he only felt a little guilty. Harry ran out the back door and to the edge of the wards. As soon as he reached them, he apparated away.
When he landed, he stood in front of his old elementary school. He quickly looked around the campus but couldn´t find his cousin.
“DUDLEY!!” He called out.
“Harry? Is that you?”
“Yes, where are you.” He looked around and saw his cousin coming out from behind a garbage can. When he saw his cousin, he gasped. He was covered in wounds and walked hunched as if in great pain.
“Dudley what happened?”
“Please help me. I hurt so bad.” Dudley begged and Harry didn´t hesitate.
“Dobby! Kreacher!” He called before helping Dudley to sit down. The two elves appeared, and Harry quickly gave them tasks to do.
“Dobby I need you to go to the Burrow and get Hermione. Tell Ron to send a message out to the DA that says that I expect everyone to get to headquarters as soon as they can. Kreacher, I need you to go to Hogwarts to get the trunk that is in Professor Snapes bed chambers. Bring them to headquarters alongside with Poppy. She hasn´t been at headquarters yet but you should be able to get the two of you through the wards. If Severus is in his quarters tell him he should meet us there. Please go.” The two elves bowed before disappearing. A minute later Hermione and Dobby appeared at Harrys site.
“Harry what´s…” the words caught in her throat when he saw the men next to Harry.
“Who is that? What has happened?” She asked after she starred at him for a few seconds.
“Hermione, this is Dudley, my cousin. I need you to help with the biggest wounds so we can transport him to headquarters.”
“Who did this to him?” She asked after looking around to make sure no one would see her using her wand.
“I don´t know yet, he will tell us later. We have to hurry Mione. I lived only a few blocks away and the death eaters know where the house is. You know what can happen should someone see us. Hurry.”
“Harry, I did everything I feel comfortable with doing. The problem is that I don´t know how to fix the big stuff.”
“Then we have to try to get to headquarters regardless. Kreacher went to get Poppy we only have to get there.” He kneeled before his cousin.
“Dudley, I need you to stand up. Hermione and I are going to help you, but we have to go now.” His cousin nodded. Harry was worried, his eyes were glazed over and when they got him to his feet, he leaned heavily on them.
“Let us use both our portkeyes that should be easier than aparating.” Hermione nodded and they sat the password at the same time. They landed outside the house and almost fell over. Ron who had waited for them sprang forward and steadied them. He took out his want and cast a levitating charm on Dudley and together they went in. They went up the stairs to one of the bedrooms and Harry helped his cousin on the bed before hurrying downstairs to get Poppy. When they came back Hermione had already transfigured Dudley´s clothing into a hospital gown and had summoned a bowl with hot water to clean the wounds.
“Madame Pomphrey please check his head first, he seems a bit out of it.” The medi witch took out her wand and ran diagnostic spells. After a few minutes a scroll of paper appeared in front of her. She looked at it and told Harry the potions they would need. Harry climbed in the trunk and looked what they had in stock. When he came back out Severus was in the room talking to Poppy.
“Sev!” He called out. Severus turned around and took him into his arms.
“What happened?” He asked.
“Later, I need you to make two potions that we didn´t have in the trunk.”
“Sure, which ones?”
“The one for head injuries and I need one to treat internal wounds everything else is here.”
“I will do it now.”
“How long?”
“An hour.”
“Would it be faster if Draco or Hermione helps you?”
“Yes, maybe fifteen minutes less.”
“Good I will send Draco up to help.”
After Harry went downstairs to fetch the blond, he rushed back to see that poppy worked on the deeper wounds that covered Dudley´s body. Harry sat down next to his cousin’s head and looked at him. He wasn´t crying but he felt very sad for the men. When Severus emerged from the trunk with the potions at the ready Harry fed them to Dudley himself and was relieved when his eyes cleared, and he looked back at him. When Madame Pomphrey finished, Harry asked her and Hermione to leave and looked at Sev who came around the bed to sit next to him. Dudley´s eyes widened a little when Harry snuggled into the older men but he didn´t comment on it.
“Now, tell me what happened Dudley. Who did this to you?”
“It was dad.” His cousin whispered and Harry starred at him in shock. He knew Vernon was a bastard, but he would have never thought that he would do something like that to his own son.
“And Petunia just let him do it?” He asked.
“No, she actually left the day after you left this summer. She told me that she´s sorry but that now that you are gone, she wouldn´t hang around so Dad would start leaving his frustration out on her again. Apparently, Dad used to hit her quite a lot before she got pregnant and after until you came to us. I am sorry that I never helped you, Harry. I told myself that it wasn´t as bad as I knew it was because I just didn´t want to face the fact that my father is a psychopath who enjoys hurting others.”
“It´s alright Dudley you couldn´t have done anything.”
“He came to me last night, and you know what he said to me?” Dudley´s voice was shacking; Harry shook his head.
“He came into my bedroom and pressed me into the mattress. He then whispered in my ear that he has to do with me since you´re not here anymore. He said he waited as long as he could but that he couldn´t life another day without a tight ass he could fuck and then he beat me and he cut me with knifes, He used some kind of whip and stabbed me… he… he…” The young men couldn´t talk any further and Harry knew exactly what his cousin had to suffer the last night, his uncle did the same thing to him for years. Unbidden images from his past came into his mind but he pushed them away, not ready to deal with any of it.
“I´m so sorry Dud. I promise you he will not get away with this, not this time.”
“What are you going to do?”
“It´s better if you don´t know.”
“You´re going to kill him won´t you?”
“Yes.” Was all Harry said. Dudley looked at him.
“Good.” He said before closing his eyes but as soon as they fell shut, they flew open again.
“You alright?” Harry asked.
“Every time I close my eyes, I… I… see him.” Dudley whispered.
“I can give you something that will help you sleep without dreams.” He summoned the potion and helped his cousin sit up so he could drink it. Only moments later Dudley began snoring and Harry and Severus left to join the others.
Harry let himself fall onto the couch of the living room. He wasn´t surprised to see Arthur and Molly here as well. He knew when Ron left, they wouldn´t keep quiet until the red head took them too. Everyone gathered and many transfigured themselves something to sit on. Harry knew everyone waited for him to speak but he addressed the elder Weasleys and Cho first.
“Before we can discuss anything else I need to know if the three of you want to join us, if not I must ask you to leave since what we have to discuss is sensitive information. That also concerns you Mrs. Malfoy, I know you said you want a quiet life for know and the conditions of your time commitment wont change should you join now. You will decide when you are ready to become an active member.”
He looked back and forth between the four of them until Cho said she wanted to sign. Hermione got the contract out of her robes and all four of them signed up.
“Good, thank you. I am glad to see that our group gets bigger by the day. Fred, George please tell everyone your progress.” He looked at the twins.
“We expect at least half a doesn´t to join soon. We talked to Remus and Tonks who both stated that their loyalty lies with you. We also talked to Lee Jordan, Angelina, Katie, Alisha and Oliver and they are all in. Angelina has a cousin in the United States. We thought it might be a good idea to talk to her since we can´t hope to win when we only recruit in England. Many already chose a site in this war. If she can recruit over there, we could find many potential allies.”
“That´s awesome guys. Any luck finding someone for the store.”
“We didn´t need to. Lee will watch the store when we are away.”
“Brilliant, I want to meet you and the others some time next week so they can sign up. Except Remus, I have to talk to him alone, I owe him that much. Bill, Fleur, Charlie? Any progress?” It was Fleur who answered first.
“Yes, ´Arry, many of the students in my year are in. A few were able to convince their family and friends as well. They all remember Diggory and want to help.”
“I have a few very well-trained wizards who want to join as well. I work with them in Romania what also means that we have access to ingredients for very strong healing potions. Other than Dragon blood we can harvest venom, scales and eggshells without a problem.” Charlie said.
“I also had luck at work a few other curse breakers want to join and I was able to talk to my two goblin friends. They say that if we plan to change the laws after the war that they want to have a representative of their kind within the Wizengamot so they can have a word in the new law making. If we guarantee that, they will join and will try to get as many of their kind to do so as well.” Bill told them.
“Wow guys, I am overwhelmed with the progress you made, keep up the good work. Right… who´s next, yes, Neville, Draco and Luna any luck so far?”
“Yes, we were right about Dean he wants to join, so do the Creavy brothers and the Patil twins who warned me to not even get close to Lavender. They think that she wants to join the dark lord.” Harry looked at Neville in astonishment.
“Really Lavender?”
“They said she has a boyfriend who is a death eater and every time they tried to warn her about him she got more defensive. Parvati even thinks that she might already have the mark.”
“Wow, good to know. Luna?”
“You know about Cho and Padma but so far no one has approached to ask questions. I don´t think it will be long though.”
“Good, I will get Padma to help you once she signed up. Draco?”
“No luck so far although I am pretty sure that Pansy and Blaise don´t want to join the dark lord but I want to be careful.”
“Yes, please be, that goes for all of you. If you have even the slightest doubt wait a little longer until you can be sure. I don´t want Riddle to find out because if he knew that I am building an army he will strike as soon as possible in hope of overpowering us when he still can. Dumbledore shouldn´t find out either and apropos the old man is our next topic. Hermione, please tell us what you found out.” He looked at his best friend who nodded and stood up.
“For all who don´t know, we broke into the headmaster’s office yesterday to look for information, Some I will share with you and other things I wont just yet since it concerns other people and it isn´t my story to share but I will just start.
I found out that he used the imperious curse on Sirius Black since it apparently was the only way to get him to step down as the Potters secret keeper. Dumbledore knew that Pettigrew was a spy for the dark lord, and he wanted him since he knew that he would tell the dark lord where to find them. He also forced Sirius under the spell to go after Peter and send him to Azkaban without trial so that he was able to give Harry to his aunt and uncle. He left a letter with the Dursleys telling them that he needed the kid to be obedient and that they should use anything and everything to insure that. He even paid them a quite large amount of money every year so should they start to like Harry, they stay motivated to achieve his goal.
I also learned that he is not only responsible for the death of the Williams family but also killed one of your uncles and James’s parents who everyone thought were killed by Riddle.
He used the imperialus potion to control Bellatrix Lestrange who then on his command went to the Longbottom´s and we all know what happened there. He actively made Professor Snapes life while at Hogwarts unbearable. When he found out that James and his friends didn´t get along with them he invited the marauders to his office and told them this and that about him, all lies by the way which in turn led to countless altercations in which he purposefully let the Gryffindor´s get away with everything and punished the Professor severely. We know that he wanted to get him to join the dark lord, but we haven´t found out why. That is all I was able to find out so far, but Professor McGonagall read the more resent journals so maybe she can fill you in more.”
“I can Miss Granger. I haven´t found much of great importance but I discovered that Dumbledore watched the school while he was gone in fifth year. He apparently had a way to listen in and when you made your way to Umbridge´s office that day, he went to Grimauld Place and hexed Kreacher so he would tell you that Sirius isn´t home. He rambled on about Sirius being a problem since you got so close to him and he couldn´t risk losing his control over you, so he ordered Bellatrix to kill him. The other thing I found out is that Dumbledore also had Fudge under the imperialus potion, I don´t know how long but he is responsible for the smear press after you know who came back. That´s all I found so far.”
It was dead silent in the room as if all had held their breath at ones. Harry just sat there dumbfounded. He couldn´t believe it. Dumbledore wanted Sirius dead. He gave the killing order.
And now I know where the missing money went. He paid the Dursleys to torture me.
Harry shook his head. Trying to clear his mind. He felt a hand touching his lightly and he knew Severus who sat next to him tried to comfort him silently. He was happy to see that his partner had caught on to the fact that Hermione had called him Professor which could only mean that she knew that Harry wasn´t ready for everyone to know. He found the courage to speak again as soon as Sev´s finger touched his.
“Wow, I honestly don´t know what to say. I think we all need time to prosses that. Thank you two,” he looked at Hermione and his head of house.
“I don´t think I would be able to go trough all that myself. Would it be okay if I leave that to you entirely?” Harry was relieved when he saw the two nodding to his request.
“Harry what happened today?” Hermione asked.
“My uncle happened.” Harry said through grinded teeth. He didn´t need to say more.
“He will pay Harry, I promise.”
“I know, Vernon Dursley will die for what he did to my cousin.”
“And to you.” Severus said.
“Yes, for that too. I just don´t want to deal with it. I don´t want to see him, I don´t want to talk to him, to be honest I don´t even want to kill him I just want him dead.”
“Your wish is my command.” Said a quiet voice and everyone was shocked out of their minds when Neville Longbottom stood and made his way to the door. Before he left, he turned around and looked at Harry who flinched when he saw the look on Neville´s face.
“I need the address.” Harry was so overwhelmed that he couldn´t answer.
“Nr.4 Privet drive.” Ron said to his friend, and they all watched Neville Longbottom leave headquarters. Harry quickly looked at Luna who hurried to catch up with him. Even though Harry knew Neville would be able to do it, there was no doubt in his mind after seeing his face and listening to that cold voice, he worried for his friend. Killing someone, even if the person deserved nothing less, was bound to leave his marks. That Neville Longbottom the shy, timid boy he met back in first year would volunteer to go kill someone he never met was unbelievable, and yet here he was on his way to end the life of Harry´s tormenter.
Ten minutes later found Harry at Dudley´s bedside again. Only the Weasleys minus Bill and Fleur, Cho, Hermione, the two Malfoy´s, Poppy and the two Professors were still there. Harry sighed.
“I really need a vacation.” He said making the others chuckle.
“Then take one.” Ron said.
“What do you mean?”
“We could take the time turner, go back a few days and take time off. We could visit one of your houses, for example in Italy or we could go to France, anywhere really. Even if you don´t have a house, we could go camping or stay at a hotel.”
“That´s actually a great idea let’s do it. I never left England before other than to come to Hogwarts. I always wanted to eat a Pizza in Italy.”
“Great, we wait till your cousin wakes up and then we leave.”
“Yes, but we also should invite Neville and Luna. After this evening they will need a time off for sure.”
“Great. Who else is coming?” He looked at Hermione who nodded same as Ginny and Draco. Molly was about to open her mouth when Ron, who for ones thought on the spot cut in quickly.
“Professor Snape, could you come with us, you know just to be on the safe site.” Molly looked at Severus and Harry mouthed a thank you to his friend who gave him a quick grin.
“Would you do that Severus? I would feel much better if the kids had someone responsible there to look after them.” Severus acted like he had to think about it before saying:
“Fine.” Sighing dramatically and Harry had to give all he had not to start laughing loudly. When he looked at his friends faces, he could see that they weren´t fairing any better.
“What about you guys?” Harry asked the twins.
“We would love too,”
“Travel back with you,”
“But we would rather use the time”
“To work on some of our knew stuff.” Fred and George said in their twin language.
“Alright, you can always work here if you need more space. We can also leave you ingredients should you need more.”
“That would be great. Thanks Harry.”
“You will go with us, right?” Ron asked his girlfriend and Cho smiled and nodded.
“Then it´s set. You guys should get back to Hogwarts to pack a back and please tell Luna and Neville to do so as well when they get back. We get new stuff for my cousin when we´re there.” And with that Harry dismissed everyone. Only Hermione stayed with him and together they waited for the others to return.
