To Bind

Last Time:

"Shit," he hissed under his breath when he felt the tower move and looked down to see that the acid from the squished plant was destroying the foundation. The tower was soon tilting rapidly into a swarm of inferi and he couldn't do anything but watch the dead inferi eyes as he got closer ...

Ginny lit up as her mother came through the floo, "Mom, you're back! Was Severus able to help?" She asked not entirely used to thinking of the potions master as anything but a professor yet.

"Yes." Molly showed her the vial filled with the potion Severus. "Bill took Severus to Gringotts saying something about marriage?" Molly said clearly a little confused, which made sense considering she wasn't there when Bill explained.

"Bill is worried that Dumbles will present the marriage contract with Hermione at Gringotts and without a rival contract Harry will be forced to marry Hermione." Ginny said worriedly.

"So Bill is offering a rival contract! I see, that's good! That'll buy us some time!" Molly said hopefully.

"Not if we don't find Harry in time. If that happens the guardian gets his way meaning Dumbles wins. I already floo called Charlie, Percy, Fred and George so they should arrive any minute to help find Harry-You're here!" Ginny exclaimed happily as Percy flooed into the room soon followed by Charlie and the twins..

"Of course, but I'm curious as to why we aren't asking Dobby to find Harry." Percy asked curiously making Ginny frowned not sure why they haven't tried that. However, just before the youngest Weasley could summon the house elf Molly told them the bad news.

"When I was with Severus earlier he told me Dobby couldn't sense Harry. He's being hidden behind runes. If Dobby knew where that was he could get Harry, but he doesn't. we will need to hurry and find Harry with the blood potion." Molly said as she gestured to the vial she had set on the table.

Charlie pulled out a map of magical Britain and spread it out on the table, "Let's hope Dumbledick isn't going international for hiding places."

Fred and George shrugged, "We deal with foreign traders who buy our product so if we need help getting passed any borders we can get it."

"That's good to know." Charlie said in relief as he began spreading small amounts of the potion onto the map being careful not to waste a single drop in case they needed a different map ...

Greg reacted out of pure instinct and grabbed his two friends by their collars where he dragged them down behind a couch, "Quiet." He whispered softly before very carefully listening to the footsteps of the three people who into the Slytherin dorm.

"This place is creepy." Blaise and Draco glanced at each more than a little shocked at hearing Granger's voice. Why was she here?

"Slytherins, Ms. Granger, Slytherins." Minerva said with a hint of disgust in her tone as if just being in a room where Slytherins lived was barely tolerable to her. She had no clue that there were three Slytherins in the room flipping her off from behind the furniture.

Dumbledore smiled cheerily, "It's not pleasant, but this must be done. Now, Ms. Granger, you said Mr. Malfoy was the one trying to seduce Harry, correct?" He asked secretly wishing he could have seen this interest in men Harry had personally. Harry was a good looking young man so it would've made watching him much more interesting.

"Yes, Headmaster." Hermione said with a proud smile not realizing that behind the very couch she was in front of were the three Slytherins they wanted who were carefully moving towards the exit while trying to stay out of sight. With each step further in the common room Greg, Draco and Blaise crawled silently along the floor. They knew they had to wait, at least, until Dumbledore wasn't in the same room or they wouldn't stand a chance of escaping.
