Arranged Marriage

040- Still One Of Them

Me, Harry, Ron and Hermione all apparated to Hogsemade but suddenly loads of alarms went off. A group of people started muttering and running out of one of the pubs shouting things which i didn't understand.

"Y/l/n and Potter are here!" One of the voices shouted as him and someone else came near us and started searching the area we were in. They were close to us but another alarm went off so they ran away. We all sighed in relief and ran away into an alley way. There was a gate at the end and Ron tried to rattle it to see if it would open but it didn't.

"Great, what are we going to do now?" I sighed.

"In here Potter." A man said next to us. We looked to our side to see an old man standing there. Without a thought, Harry soon ran to where the man was but the man seemed to have vanished. We all ran after Harry and we were met with some stairs. I looked at them confused but we all went down the stairs.

"Did you get a look at him?" Ron asked me and Hermione as Harry was too far ahead. "For a second I thought it was-" Ron started but Hermione cut him off.

"I know, Dumbledore." She finished his sentence. It made me think of the night that Dumbledore was murdered by Snape, I witnessed it and didn't do anything. So much happened last year and I just want this all to be over.

We all explored the ,what seemed to be, house until Hermione seemed to see something.

"Harry, I can see you in this." She told him whilst looking at a mirror on the wall. We turned to look at Harry who was holding up a mirror. Harry came to look at the mirror with us until all our heads snapped at the door as it opened.

"You bloody fools, what were you thinking coming here? Have you any idea how dangerous it is?" The man questioned us.

"You're Aberforth, Dumbledores brother. It's you who i've been seeing in here. You're the one who sent dobby." Harry then spoke as Aberforth was pacing.

"Where've you left him?" He asked.

"He's dead." Harry replied sadly.

"Sorry to hear it, I liked that elf." Aberforth said in a sad tone.

"Who gave that to you? The mirror?" Harry asked again.

"Mundungus Fletcher, about a year ago." Aberforth replied.

"Dung had no right! It belonged to-" Harry started but got cut off.

"Sirius. Albus told me. He also told me you'd likely be hacked off if you ever found out I had it. But ask yourself, where would you be if I didn't?" Aberforth questioned Harry. Harry stood in silence. "Y/n, I'm surprised you're here." Aberforth then turned to me.

"I'm sorry about what happened to Dumbledore, I swear I had no part in it." I quickly changed the subject and apologised to him.

"I didn't think you would Y/n. After-all, you are in hiding because you refused to become a death eater." He then said, I let out a sigh of relief. I'm glad he didn't think bad of me.

"You need to be careful out here Y/n, you are now getting hunted as much as Harry is." He told me. He was right, I could get caught at any time. I needed to be careful.

I nodded my head in response and he walked us over to a table with food and drinks on. Ron started immediately digging into the food as we hadn't eaten in ages.

"Do you hear from the others much? From the Order?" Hermione then asked Aberforth as she started picking up food.

"The Order's finished. You-know-who's won. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves." He replied to Hermione.
