Book 7: Harry Potter male reader insert

Chapter 12: Kreacher's Story

"Harry? Harry? Harry!"

"I'm here!" he called, "What's happened?"
There was a clatter of footsteps outside the door, and Hermione burst inside, with (Y/n) in tow.

"We woke up and didn't know where you were!" she said breathlessly. " so we went to look for you and I found (Y/n)!" She turned and shouted over her shoulder, "Ron! I've found him"

Ron's annoyed voice echoed distantly from several floors below.

"Good! Tell him from me he's a git!"

"Hey Harry Ron wants you to know you're a git." (Y/n) repeated to him.

"Harry don't just disappear, please, we were terrified! Why did you come up here anyway?"

She gazed around the ransacked room. "What have you been doing?"

"Look what I've just found"
He held out his mother's letter. Hermione took it out and read it while (Y/n) read it over her shoulder.

Dear Padfoot,

Thank you, thank you, for Harry's birthday present! It was his favorite by far. One year old and already zooming along on a toy broomstick, he looked so pleased with himself. I'm enclosing a picture so you can see. You know it only rises about two feet off the ground but he nearly killed the cat and he smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent me for Christmas (no complaints there).

Of course James thought it was so funny, says he's going to be a great Quidditch player but we've had to pack away all the ornaments and make sure we don't take our eyes off him when he gets going.

We had a very quiet birthday tea, just us and old Bathilda who has always been sweet to us and who dotes on Garry. We were so sorry you couldn't come, but the Order's got to come first, and Harry's not old enough to know it's his birthday anyway!

James is getting a bit frustrated shut up here, he tries not to show it but I can tell – also Dumbledore's still got his Invisibility Cloak, so no chance of little excursions. If you could visit, it would cheer him up so much. Wormy was here last weekend. I thought he seemed down, but that was probably the next about the McKinnons; I cried all evening when I heard.

Bathilda drops in most days, she's a fascinating old thing with the most amazing stories about Dumbledore. I'm not sure he'd be pleased if he knew! I don't know how much to believe, actually because it seems incredible that Dumbledore

When she reached the end of the page she looked up at him. "Oh Harry..."

"And there's this too"

He handed her the torn photograph, and Hermione smiled at the baby zooming in and out of sight on the toy broom.

"Looks like you were a natural born flier then" (Y/n) commented.

"I've been looking for the rest of the letter," Harry said, "but it's not here." Hermione glanced around.

"Did you make all this mess, or was some of it done when you got here?"

"Someone had searched before me," said Harry.

"I thought so. Every room I looked into on the way up had been disturbed. What were they after, do you think?"

"Information on the Order, if it was Snape."

"But you'd think he'd already have all he needed. I mean was in the Order, wasn't he?"

"Well then," said Harry, keen to discuss his theory, "what about information on Dumbledore? The second page of the letter, for instance. You know this Bathilda my mum mentions, you know who she is?"
