Death Eaters Daughter Part Two

Two Hundred Seventy Four

A month has gone by
My dad didn't show up again, no one else tried to find us either
I wanted him to stay, why wouldn't I have?
But my baby brother needed both parents. I know I did when I was young, instead I got a shitty kidnapper as my parental figure. I can't imagine him going through what I did.

"What do you want from me?!" I heard Mundungus Fletcher yelling downstairs

I left Sirius' room and rushed down to see Kreacher had hogtied his limbs to keep him from escaping

"Mr.Potter and Miss.Lupin needed Kreacher to bring you here. Kreacher has completed his task" the elf bowed
I nodded my head at him

Harry and Ron grabbed Mundungus and shoved him into the couch
"You stole shit from this house?? What did you take" Harry demanded

"Nothing of importance" he muttered

Ron hit him over the head with a book that he was studying with Hermione
"Try again" Ron said

"What are you looking for?" Mundungus asked
He looked even more pathetic than the last time I saw him
It's been years since he's attended order meetings, probably around the same time he stole from this house

"This" I pointed to Kreacher
He pulled out his locket replica

"That old thing? How would I remember if I took it" he scoffed

Hermione hit him with her heavier book
"How many times do we have to hit him for the memory to come back?" She asked slyly

"I prefer fire as a means of remembering things" I used my wand to create a small handful of flames "which part do you want us to burn off first?"

"You're psychotic" he spit out

"I don't fucking care what you think" I grabbed his chin and made him look at me "where is the locket"

"If I knew it was this valuable I wouldn't have let that hag steal it" he muttered

"Who?" Harry asked

"That one there" Mundungus ripped his face out of my clutch and pointed towards a newspaper that was littering the ground

On the front page was Dolores Umbridge, Head of Interrogation for Voldemort and his followers. She was standing beside a statue that was build with her body on top of a pile of beaten muggles
Dolores Umbridge praised highly by the Dark Lord himself for her continued efforts in making the wizard world a better place
The paper read

"Are you joking" I said
I grabbed the paper, looking closely I could see the locket around her neck
Just barely peeking through her uniform

"Well fuck" Ron said

"Kreacher bring Mundungus back to where you found him" Harry said

"Please" Hermione side eyed Harry's rudeness 

"Beat him up before you leave though" I added
Ron chuckled
Kreacher cracked a smile, grabbed the thief and disappeared again

"So we need to get into the ministry" Hermione said concerned

"Not like this wasn't expected" Harry said pacing the room "we had a feeling this would happen"

"Think Percy can help us?" I asked Ron

"I'm not sure, no one's heard from him in a while. He might not even be there" Ron trailed off
I could feel his anxiety pushing through
I walked up to him and hugged him tightly

"So what's the plan?" I asked holding Ron's back

"Polyjuice potion?" Hermione suggested "we would need disguises clearly"

"Two of us should go out and find some ministry workers to change into" I said

"I'll go" Ron turned around, kissed the top of my head and looked at Harry

"Me too" he said

"Harry you're the biggest threat to them, you can't be seen. It should be Hermione or myself"

"Absolutely not" Ron said "it's too dangerous"

"Ready Ron?" Harry said walking to where my dad disappeared from a month ago

"Ready" Ron kissed Hermione goodbye and left before we had the chance to change their minds
I saw Harry grab for his cloak before exiting

"Well I guess we wait" Hermione and I walked to the makeshift bed and laid beside each other
We held hands as we stared into nothingness
Silence never bothered us, our friendship was healthy enough for quiet moments to exist
There could have been a chance for us at one point, but the closeness that we shared now was better. If we had been together it could have ended messy, I don't know where I would be without her truly.
When no one else could reach me she did, when everyone else gave in she didn't
When I was stationing myself in Sirius' room alone she stayed outside the door waiting for me to let her in, which I did at one point
When I was injured in school she always stayed by my side, my soul mate

"I love you" I said softly to Hermione

"I love you" she said back to me

"Thank you"

"For?" She asked

"Everything"

She cuddling closer into my side
"No need to thank me. You're there for me, I'm there for you...always"

While the two guys were gone, Kreacher made himself happy by taking care of us. He made breakfast lunch and dinner daily, being sure to go out for ingredients when needed
I even saw him tucking the two of us into our blankets when we went to the large sleeping area
He was misunderstood, like any good house elf he was extremely loyal. It seems the gift of the locket sealed his commitment to us. He didn't scoff at Hermione anymore, when she would speak to him he would bow. He looked peaceful when he was with the two of us

Harry and Ron showed back to the house days later, I could tell it made Hermione nervous not knowing what was going on with them
Ron held her tightly when he walked into the door, Harry explained how many death eaters patrolled the area waiting for one of us to sneak out
If it weren't for the cloak they would have been found

Ron explained they were gone for a week because they needed to find at least 4 people who they could impersonate
They also needed to track their movements for some time, to be sure they didn't mess anything up when becoming the new identities
We weren't going to risk using the cloak, if we lost that then we were screwed on any stealth missions
"We need to make polyjuice" Harry said eating Kreacher's meal prep

"I already have some" I pulled some bottles out of my bag "Hermione and I made them some time ago, figuring we would need to use it"

"Brilliant witches" Ron said smirking at us

"Our mission starts tomorrow" Harry said dryly
He came back with an attitude, I didn't push him to explain. He's moody all the time. I blamed it on his worry for his pregnant wife
Honestly if the two of them had started this mission correctly years ago we wouldn't be in this mess...
