Chapter 4: Dumbledore’s Quarters
Due to the fact, it is difficult to keep a time line on this I will just give a day. Needless to say this takes place in the summer after Harry’s Sixth Year. I will just pick a date and stick with it.
Wow! Thanks for the responses and the ratings! It has inspired me.
Chapter 4: Dumbledore’s Quarters
June 24th
Hermione insisted that everyone involved gather outside of Professor Dumbledore’s quarters at 9:00am sharp. She had managed to rope Luna and Neville into their search. Both joined the rest of the detail outside Professor Dumbledore’s quarters.
Hermione has a parchment in her hand with a quill. She’s making notes. When she looks up the entire group is present including Remus and Tonks. She smiles and says, “Excellent, let’s get started. Harry and Ron , you two will go through Professor Dumbledore quarters. Tonks and Remus, I need you to go through “Mr.” Snape’s quarters. Be sure to look through his books. He had a habit of writing margins. Luna and I will go to Gringotts and look through both Professor Dumbledore’s and “Mr” Snapes’ vaults. Professor McGonagall said she will go with us. Ginny and Neville, you need to gather all of “Mr.” Snape’s school records. Right now people we are just gathering. If you find any pensieves simply put them aside and we will go through them later. We don’t know what we will find, so be careful. OK, does everyone have their assignments.”
Everyone in the group nodded and speaks to the affirmative. Then they separate to their respective assignments.
Ron and Harry turn and open the door to Professor Dumbledore’s suite.
Ron looks around at the sitting room and sits down in the nearest chair. The room is a forest green with dark wood trim. There are two brown leather couches and two brown leather sitting chairs. He watches Harry walk around the room several times.
Ron asks, “Wow this is not what I expected. Do you think he had sex on those couches?”
Harry grimaced and gasped, “Please don’t say sex and Dumbledore in the same sentence. We are here to look for clues, not to speculate about his “sex” life.” Harry shivered in disgust at the thought of Professor Dumbledore and any kind of sex. Now Ginny and sex was different story, but not something to discuss in front of her brother or brothers.
“OK, where do you want to start,” inquired Ron.
“Does this place have a library or study? Let’s try there. We are going to have to look everywhere,” breathed Harry in frustration while he started moving toward the next room.
The next room was a library. Not just any library, there were no bookshelves. The books just seemed to float in place.
“Ron, have you ever seen anything like this?” asked Harry.
“No, but it’s wicked cool,” admired Ron.
“I wonder how he did it. I wonder if Slughorn knows. Speaking of which I wonder what Slughorn knows,” continues Harry.
“Hey, mate you said it. He ignores me. Hey, look at that table beside that chair,” notes Ron.
What Ron was pointing to was a long desk-like table next to a very comfortable looking brown leather chair. On top of the table was reproduction of the Venus De Milo in black marble.
“Oh, Ron what is so special about this table. It looks like an ordinary table to me,” said Harry.
Ron smiles and bends down to inspect the table further. He then stands back up and smirks. He looks at Harry and shakes his head. “For starters, it’s elf-made of dragon-hide and it’s all of one piece of dragonhide. That makes it over 400 years old. This must be a family piece,” he states.
Above the table Professor Dumbledore had placed a picture of himself. Ron and Harry stop for a second and then look at the picture. They look at each other and look back at the picture, then picture of Professor Dumbledore looks back them and says, “Well do you have any questions?”
Harry recovers first and says, “Lots actually. What can you tell us. Do you know that “you” are dead.”
The Portrait Professor Dumbledore rolls his eyes and snickers, “ My dear boy I may be a portrait, but I am not stupid. I realized something was wrong when no one showed up after a while. How long have I been dead?”
Ron answers him, “About six weeks, sir.”
Portrait Dumbledore replies, “ I suppose that Lord Voldermort is still alive.”
Harry says, “Yes, sir.”
“Let me guess who kill me, Severus Snape,” twitters Portrait Dumbledore.
“I watched him do it. You said “Severus…please” and he used the killing curse,” breathes Harry.
“A relatively painless death considering things,” smiled Portrait Dumbledore.
“Mr. Snape said something about him being the “Half-Blood Prince”. What does that mean?,” inquires Harry.
“That is for Severus to answer. I really wish you two had made more of an effort to get along. You really are a great deal alike,” reminisces Portrait Dumbledore.
“No I am not,” said Harry very quietly.
“I taught you both. I should know. Your both stubborn and have a prejudice when it comes to certain people. Talk about pigheaded. But you both are brave, creative, ingenuous, and loyal to a fault. Severus would kill me for saying that. Oh, he already did. Sorry, but a little humor is needed, right now. I take it that you are searching my quarters for clues about Lord Voldermort and his Horcruxes,” finishes the Portrait Professor Dumbledore.
“Yes,” said Ron.
“Well let me help you before you make a mess. Behind me is a vault that can only be opened by two people other than myself. Harry happens to be one of them,” admits Portrait Dumbledore.
“Thanks!,” exclaims Harry, “How do I open it.”
“Simply say “Alohomora” and the vault will open,” explains Portrait Dumbledore.
Harry says, “Alohomora” and the frame swings open to reveal an cabinet. The cabinet contains three pensieves.
The boys remove the pensieves and close the frame.
Harry asks Portrait Dumbledore, “What if we had been Deatheaters or the Ministry?”\\
Portrait Dumbledore grins and replies, “This portrait would have changed into a portrait the Merlin. I appear for you and one other.”
Ron asks, “Who is the other person?”
Portrait Dumbledore looks at Ron seriously and winks, then says, “It’s a secret.”
Ron grumbles, “Figures.”
Harry shakes his head and says to Portrait Dumbledore, “Thank you for your help.”
Portrait Dumbledore replies, “Glad I could have been of assistance, besides you two could have made a mess of my suite. What are you thinking, Harry?”
“Just what you said about Snape and I being alike. If we are so alike then why does he hate me?” rambles Harry.
“Perhaps that is a discussion you should have with him after you look through those pensieves. Now run along, I need a nap,” requests Portrait Dumbledore.
The boys exit the suite with the pensieves.
Wow! Thanks for the responses and the ratings! It has inspired me.
