CHAPTER 5

“Is this it?” Harry asked incredulously as he stared at the single torn piece of paper and its typed A4 companion. Ron rolled his eyes as he sipped from his coke, and took another piece of pizza from the tray sitting on the table in front of them.

“Yeah, you said you wanted an address.” Ron pointed to the torn piece of paper where there were two lines scrawled on it in Ron’s messy handwriting. “So that’s his last known address and I told you before I can’t take any papers from the ministry so that’s a summary and copy of what was in the file about Applegate estate.” Again Ron pointed to the A4 typed sheet. Harry sighed and nodded understandingly as he quickly scanned through the A4 sheet about the property before staring at the address on the scrap piece of paper.

“Wales?” Harry asked in disbelief as he re-read the address. Ron swallowed his mouthful of pizza before continuing.

“Yeah, so. It’s not unusual for wizards to live outside England, especially when it’s only a matter of a short floo trip or an apparition. Besides all the Malfoy property is in Wales so I gather, so it makes sense that’s where he is.” Ron went to pick up another slice of pizza but Harry slapped his hand away as he reached for the piece himself.

“Do you know anything more about this Applegate estate?” Harry inquired as he took a small bite from his cheese pizza and chewed slowly and thoughtfully. Ron shrugged his shoulders.

“No, I thought you said you were going to do the leg work.” Ron looked pointedly at Harry who rolled his eyes and continued to eat his piece of pizza as Ron gulped down another coke. Ron had adapted quite well to muggle living and his love of the food had just increased ten fold since discovering the fizzy soda.

“I was just asking Ron that’s all.” Harry could tell Ron was shitty, he had been able to tell the moment the red head had walked in from the day at work. It was partly why Harry had suggested having pizza for dinner to save Ron cooking. “So what’s up with you.” Harry inquired cautiously, as he folded the paper up and put it into his coat pocket. Ron shrugged his shoulders in his deliberately obtuse way.

“The ministry are talking about sending some of us to Scotland for six months. Apparently there have been some sightings of the Lestrange’s up there.” Ron muttered as he stared into the depths of his sugary drink.

“Ah, I bet Hermione’s not happy.” Harry watched sympathetically as Ron nodded.

“Yeah chuckled a complete fit when I told her, said she wasn’t sure what I cared more about, her or my job.” Harry bit his lip as he watched Ron push the ice around in the bottom of his coke glass. Harry hated it when Hermione and Ron fought, as he’d always end up in the middle. Careful as to what he was saying Harry replied.

“I guess you have to make a decision Ron. Hermione or the work.” Ron looked up cautiously at Harry his value in Harry’s advice extremely high. “If you want my advice, you’re never going to find a girl you love like Hermione again, but there’s always plenty of other jobs for Auror’s. Now you’ve had some experience and done the ministry approved training you’re more likely to find work in the private sector. Didn’t Bill say Gringott’s were looking for trained professionals?” Ron nodded slowly and Harry smiled weakly.

“I guess I’ll just think about it.” Harry nodded in agreement, as he finished off his last slice of pizza and drained his glass of water. “So what are you going to do to start looking for ‘Ferret Features’?” Ron inquired changing the subject back to something other than his love life. Harry rolled his eyes. After eight years Ron was still referring to Draco as ‘Ferret Features’ but then again Ron also still hated Professor Snape.

“I might just go check this ‘Applegate’ place out first, then see if Draco’s still living at this address.” Harry gestured to his coat pocket where the pieces of paper were tucked securely inside.

“Be careful Harry.” Ron whispered sternly.

“Yeah I will.” Harry tried to blow Ron’s comment off but the red head was having none of it and grabbed hold of Harry’s arm and made his best friend look him in the eye.

“No Harry I’m serious.” Ron whispered harshly so that the other muggle patrons of the pizza parlor couldn’t over hear their conversation. “The Malfoy’s were nasty pieces of work, and they were extremely dangerous. I don’t want you getting in over your head and don’t go sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong or you’re likely to lose it. If Malfoy says he doesn’t know where Snape is then leave it, there are other ways of finding people and I don’t want you risking anything trying to get information out of that slime ball understood.” Ron looked sternly at Harry who reluctantly nodded having seen the worry clearly in his friend’s eyes.

”I promise.” Harry whispered sincerely. Ron sighed and nodded in acceptance of the promise before sitting back from the table and burping loudly

“Good, now come on I want to get some video’s and chill out.” Harry nodded and having picked up his coat from over the back of the seat joined Ron at the counter paying for the meal. Harry was somewhat concerned that Ron had given him such a stern warning; it was as if his best friend knew something but wasn’t letting on.
