The Snake's Secret * under revision*

Monsters And Quidditch

It was fascinating. The book was full of either myths or secrets.

He had spent hours poring over it, that was when Hermione walked in, carrying a piece of parchment,she lied it down in front of him. "This just came for you."

It was a magically binding contract that stoped the representatives speaking about what happened in the previous and future meetings without consent form the others. The other three had already signed, so after reading through it he signed it and passed it back to Hermione. She gave him a smile and walked off, probably to put it somewhere safe.

Next he was interrupted by Dobby, the elf was shelving the next shipment of books and he had to put a few in the section near Harry. There was also a growing pile of blank books and rolls of parchment that the elves would copy the texts from the library. At this rate he was going to have to ask for more elves. Timmy was the one who was in charge of copying the books out, so far he had made little progress, maybe they really did need a few more elves.

The final interruption was by Voldemort, the little mirror Harry       always kept on him began to vibrate. When he set the book down and looked into the glass he saw his father's face. "Harry, I need you to do a job for me."

"Yes?"

"Tomorrow night there will be a delivery to the school, they will drop everything off by the main gate at 8 o'clock. There is one wizard with them who I would like you to kill. He has gotten a bit too close for comfort and I don't know if I can trust him."

"Who is it?"

"You don't know him but he knows you, it's Williams. The death-eater with the long ginger hair."

Thinking back Harry remembered somebody like that. "Okay, anything you want me to do in particular?"

"Dump the body in the woods. Other than that have fun."

"I will, thanks Dad. Oh umm, one other thing. We don't have enough Elves to get the books shelved fast enough, could you please send some more?"

"I can spare Molly and Sam."

"Thank you so much!"

"No problem, I have to go. See you soon."

When the connection cut Harry sat back. He had a lot to do. But still he was smiling.

It was the next evening, Harry had Draco and Hermione with him, Ron covering for them back in the school. Just as promised there were a group of wizards dropping off a package. Only one of them had red hair.

Harry silently signaled to the others and they approached as quietly as they could, the other three wizards has begun to walk off but bless Merlin that Williams hung back to secure the package. It was too dark to read the label.

Harry motioned for the others to stop as he continued a few more steps. He was right behind Williams, he checked the other two were ready and then surged forwards, grabbing the man around the neck and mouth, silencing him. Harry used his weight and pulled Williams backwards just into the tree line.

Williams gasped in surprise but before he could do anything Draco was holding down his arms and Hermione tying him up with magical rope. Once he was secure Harry eased himself from under Williams' shoulders but kept his grip on the man's mouth. The other three were long gone by then, Harry moved so he was facing the man and watched fear and understanding flicker through his eyes. "Okay well done everyone, now we need to get him deep into the woods and then we can have some fun." Harry said slightly out of breath from being squashed.
