xlvi. the ministry

They were working tirelessly to find the Horcrux and completely forgot about Kreacher having to bring Mundungus back, so when Kreacher arrived with a rather pissed off Dung, they were all startled to see the unlikely duo plus Dobby. Dobby was very excited to see Harry again, so he launched towards Harry and wrapped his legs in a hug, like he always does when he sees Harry. Harry tried not to stumble back and hugged Dobby back. He saw Dung trying to get away and said "calm down, won't you? We just need to ask you some questions! For fuck sake!" he stopped struggling and said "what the hell do you think you're doing setting a bleeding house elf on me?!" Harry rolled his eyes and said "oh what horror! Having house elves trying to find you! Get the hell over it, there are better things to brood over," he scowled at Harry and said "why did you set house elves on me?!" oy vey, thought Harry as Mundungus started rambling about what the house elves did to him. He tried his best not to laugh when he found out that Dobby and Kreacher smacked him repeatedly with newspapers really, really hard. Ron and Hermione came in to see the commotion and Harry was momentarily distracted, so Mundungus took the advantage to take out his wand. But, Hermione was faster and she Disarmed him before he could say or do anything.

Harry smiled at her and her abilities, deeply underestimating her. He shyly smiled back and then they looked at Mundungus and Ron said "we have four wands and two very powerful house elves- wicked trainer Dobby- and you have nothing... so you might as well tell us what we wanna know," Dobby bowed a little at Ron's compliment and Kreacher bowed at the power part. Hermione started the 'interrogation': "when you nicked this place, that night, you took a locket, that one, the one on Kreacher's chest, didn't you?" he nodded and Hermione forced him a little "didn't you?" she said louder than before. He nodded and said "yes,-" realization dawned on him and he said "why?! Was it valuable?" Ron rolled his eyes and said "puh-lease, you just wanna know if you should've asked more for it," Harry was surprised at Dung's carelessness and said "who did you sell it to?" he replied "I don't know some ministry hag-" Harry was pissed and he said "don't play games with me Dung," as he advanced on him and continued "what did this hag look like?"

Dung for some reason was extremely intimidated by Harry and he used that to his advantage, ergo he had the upper hand and he said "tell me what this bitch looked like, Dung," Mundungus gulped and said "she was wearing only pink and a big, ugly bow, kinda looked like a toad and-" Harry looked around and found a newspaper with Umbridge's picture, that made him want to barf and showed it to him. Mundungus gasped and said "that's her!" Harry turned the paper and showed it to Ron and Hermione groaned and Hermione said "out of everyone in the bloody world it had to be her, why, Merlin, why?" they let Mundungus go after obliviating him of knowing where they were and then they spent ten minutes in silence and then Harry said "we have to break into the Ministry,"

Ron and Hermione laughed and stopped when they saw Harry's serious face, Ron was shook and so he said "you're serious?" Harry shrugged and said "we don't know where Umbitch lives, I mean for all we know she could live with the werewolf clan that Greyback runs so the Ministry is the safest option right now," even though Ron and Hermione weren't sold, they hadto agree because it seemed like the only sane option. Seconds later, Harry heard his name being called by what sounded like Draco. He answered with a tiny "I'm here," Draco just cut the crap and said "they're making a list of all muggleborns to call in for a shitty hearing and to see 'where they got their magic from,' and guess who's heading them?" "who?" said Ron, Hermione and Harry together. Harry could hear the disgust in Draco's voice when he said "Umbridge," "fuck," the three muttered together. Draco sputtered and said "'Mione's name is definitely of the list, they'll search for you, please be careful, 'Mione, twelve year old would hex me to next century, but you're my best friend and I'd prefer you alive, and I love you and Ron as much as I love Blaise and Pansy," Hermione was touched. She knew she was close to Draco, but never knew just how close.
