~~~~~~~~~~~3rd person POV✍~~~~~~~~~
When the cars reached the Potters residence, Harry, Ginny and Ron met Hermione, Sai and Matt in the dining room. The six people took a while to get their stories straight and fill everyone in on everything that had happend. When everyone knew the same things. Matt told everyone thar he had the maps of the mannor and put them on the table before Sai had repeated what Lily told them about the traps and charms. Then they started working on a plan. Half way through Ron spoke.
"Aren't the children a bit young to hear this?"
Harry looked at his friend. Ron continued.
"I'm just saying, it could be dangerous."
After a psuse Harry spoke.
"Ron, do you remember when we were staying with the order and the adults were having this conversation?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Remember what happened when they refused to tell us everything?"
Ron through for a minute before continuing.
"Fair point, continue." Ron quickly said.
When they had the plan set and everyone knew what they had to do, the sun was starting to sink.
Matt looked at Harry.
"Are you going to do it now or wait until tomorrow? Cos it's going to be very dark soon and I don't think you can see in the dark."
"Um, I think we'll take a vote?"
After some misscounts they had decided to go to Malfoy Manner first thing tomorrow.
===============🌕time skip☀️=========
The six woke early, just as the sun was rising. They quickly got dressed and Ginny forced everyone to have something to eat. Then they packed their wands in their pockets and split into two teams, three for each car. Ginny, Sai and Matt went in Rons car while Harry, Hermione and Ron went in another. Ron pulled up to Malfoy Manner, parking his car on the lawn, running over the 'keep off lawn' sign. Harry, Ron and Hermione got out of the car, marched up to the door and swang it open. They marched right past the house elf and up the stairs.
Back in Ginnys car, Sai and Matt were watching the three adults from a screen infrount of them.
"This is way easier, from now on, if we need something done, we'll just get Harry super angry." Matt joked.
Sai choked on a laugh as Ginny turned around from the front seat and scolded him.
Harry took the front, Ron following on his right and Hermione on his left. They reached the 2nd floor but was met with a large platform of doors.
"Give it up Lucius! Your out numbered and out wanded!" Harry yelled.
Lucius's voice came from every direction.
"You will never win potter!"
Harry signalled to the others to split up and start checking all the doors.
'Feels like I'm back in the ministry, looking for voldermorts stupid bottle.' Harry muttered as he opened a door.
"Have you guys found anything?" He asked.
"No, all the doors just have solid brick or cement behind them." Hermione muttered.
"Same here." Ron confirmed.
They spent another minute on the doors until Hermione said something.
"Harry, I got a room."
Harry and Ron came over to look.
"You know Hermione, Harry's not the only person here." Ron joked.
Hermione rolled her eyes and entered the room, Harry and Ron following closely behind. The door closed behind them and then the walls spun. They looked around and found themselves in a circular room with more doors.
"Um, deja vu anyone?" Harry asked.
"Yep." Ron answered.
"This is exactly like the room in the ministry when we were looking for that prophecy." Hermione added.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Harry replied.
"I wonder if..." Ron started as he opened a door. He closed it and the walls spun agian. "Yep." He sighed.
"Hold on." Hermione casted a spell and different marks appeared on each door, they stayed there for a second then vanished.
"N-no, my spell couldn't have failed." She whispered.
"Um, you ok?" Harry asked.
Hermione shook her head. Harry looked at Ron.
"First time a spell didn't work." Ron explained.
Harry nodded, he knew how his friend got.
Lucius's voice came from every door.
"Don't worry about it girl. I put charms on these doors. I didn't want the same thing happening as it did last time. I hope you enjoy my little recreation of the ministry."
Then it was gone.
Harry counted the doors while Ron and Hermione argued and solutions.
"We could just open ever door and watch them as they spin." Ron contributed.
"That is utterly ridiculous Ron. There is no way that would actually work."
Harry spoke softly.
"Guys?"
They didn't hear him.
"I don't see you coming up with a better plan!"
"If you stoped pestering me then I could think of one!"
"Guys!"
"Honestly Hermione, you're always like this, so smart and uptight."
"Oh I'm uptight! Hold on...Did you just complement me during am argument?"
"GUYS?!" Harry yelled.
"WHAT IS IT HARRY?!" Ron and Hermione yelled at the same time.
"As cute as this is, I've got an idea."
"Oh good, glad to see SOMEONE has an idea," Hermione said.
Ron closed his moth and decided to let it go, he never won arguments.
"Count the doors," Harry continued.
Hermione finished counting.
"No, Harry. We can't get the kids involved," she said, firmly.
"Hermione, they've been involved in this since they met Stryker and Lily. They are their friends. What do you think kids?"
The answer came from Harry's pocket, where he kept his wand.
"Ok, first of all, don't call us kids, we graduated and secondly..." There was a pause as Sai grabbed Matt's wand. "Yes, we are so totally helping!"
"YOU LET THEM LISTEN IN TO THIS?! HARRY, OUT OF ALL THE IRRESPONSIBLE THINGS YOU LET MATT AND SAI LISTEN IN TO ALL OF THIS?! WHAT WERE WE GOING TO DO IF ONE OF US DIED?!" Hermione yelled.
Harry shrugged.
"We aren't. So can they come?" Harry asked.
Hermione sighed.
"Yes."
"Ok, is anyone else confused, because I'm confused." Ron interrupted.
"There are six doors Ron, we could all just pick a door and go through. Then if the room is empty, we just walk right out of the room and into the one with the open door that no one walked out of."
"Oh, that's smart."
"Thanks."
"Ginny, could you bring the kids here? Up the stairs..." Ginny interrupted, "fifth door on the right, I know."
"YOU GAVE THEM A VISUAL AS WELL?! Hermione screamed.
Ginny laughted.
"Be right there."
A few minutes later Sai, Matt and Ginny entered the room. Harry went up to his wife and kissed her for a split second.
"Okay then, everybody say a prayer, choose a door and hope that there's nothing behind it. I'll count to 3 and when I say 3 we all open our door."
Ron kissed Hermione, Ginny hugged Matt and Harry smiled reassuringly at Sai. They all walked up to a door. In a line it was Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Matt and Sai.
"1...2...3" Harry yelled.
The six doors opened at the same time.
Matt got the exit, he held his door open until everyone else had stepped through.
Ginny got a room filled with nothing but a fish tank, she walked back out and held her door open like Matt. Hermione got a room filled with planets, but no Lucius. She also stepped out and held her door open. Ron got a room filled with shelves of dusty parchment. 'Out of all the rooms, I had to get this one.' He thought. Ron cautiously checked all the rows but found nothing. Sais door lead to a libary, but no Lucius. She stepped outside and saw everyone there, apart from Harry.
