Chapter 32:

Harry jumped out of bed cramming his glasses onto his face and bolting out the door of the room that he was resting in, in the old house. He saw the old man that he had learned was named Mr. Grump sitting at his dining room table shifting through paper.

He looked up when he heard Harry's footsteps entering the room. "Mr. Potter! You barley slept! Get back to rest"

"No I need to leave now. Ginny's in trouble I need to help her", he said he threw on his cloak and made his way towards the entrance.

Mr. Grump jumped up from his seat at the table and ran in front of Harry blocking the doorway. For an old man Harry noticed that he moved pretty fast.

"No I can't let you do that" Mr. Grump said.

Harry glared at him, "Why not?"

"Well...er..because uh you've only stated for a little i still have to tell you all I was planing on telling you" he stumbled.

"Tell me now then"

The old man stuttered thinking for words, "uh I don't think right now is the time"

"Ok then I'll save Ginny and once I get back you can tell me the oh so important thing you were planing on telling me", Harry said and tried to push past Mr. Grump to the door.

He stayed firm at the door. "No I can't let you leave yet"

Harry reached into his cloak and pulled out his wand and placed it onto Mr. Grumps nose. He went cross eyed trying to look at the wand that now squished his nose.

"I'm leaving and nothing you do can stop me. I fought Voldemort I'm not afraid to fight you" Harry pushed his wand harder onto Mr. Grumps nose.

"No no look there are things I need to tell you, things that will change your mind on leaving", Mr. Grump said.

"Like what?" Harry asked.

"I'll tell you of you put that wand away and sit down", Mr. Grump said.

Harry considered stunning the old man now and leaving to look for Ginny but curiosity took him over and he slowly lowered his wand. "Fine I'll let you explain but you have ten minutes to tell me everything and it better be important or I'm leaving"

Mr. Grump nodded and sighed as Harry's wand came down to his side again. He gestured for Harry to sit on the couch, "Sit Harry you'll need to" Harry reluctantly sat and watched as Mr. Grump sat opposite of him.

He took a deep breath and began, "Alright Harry this is going to be a head spinner but here it goes. Down here we call it the slide. Once the war started with Voldemort a few of us wizards were cowards. We knew that if we stayed up there we would probably side with Voldemort to stay alive. Don't get me wrong we didn't want to side with Voldemort we wanted him gone, dead, but as I mentioned we were cowards. We weren't as brave as the order of phenix or anyone else so well we all decided that to stay away from this war, well we'd hide.

"I know Harry, don't give me that look I'm ashamed of how I was a coward and fled but that seemed like the most logical thing to do at the time. Anyways the whole group of us banned together and discussed where we were going to go.

"Then suddenly it hit us, the only place Voldemort wouldn't look would be underground. He was scared of death and I mean there is such thing as the underworld and Muggles bury their dead in the ground so we created the slide and we all sat here and waited out Voldemort's power reign.

"Then you went and killed him and we thought yes we can go up again back into the sunlight. But no we were soon discovered. A group of Voldemort's followers figured out that we were hiding down here. They came and killed us all. It was an extreme blood bath. Only a few of us made it out and we hid.

"Voldemort's followers now thinking that they had destroyed us all took over the slide for themselves as headquarters. Stupid mistake we made. The autors were looking for them now endlessly and this was the perfect place in order for them to hide and plan their uprising.

"The few of us that remained started meeting up again and we started spying on them. Which let me tell you was not a walk in the park. They had set up all these traps everywhere, as I assume that you encountered one with the bats. There were more of them everywhere. It took us quite a long time to figure out how to pass them but we finally did and we started spying on their plans.

"Of course as we all assumed their plans involved you except there was something different about the plans we noticed. It was different, they seemed to want you alive not dead which was the first. They planned to capture you by using someone you loved against you. As you would think it was Ginny. Your co worker I think her name was Katilin from what I heard was giving a report on how she had successfully Impersed her. I assume however that the plan they were planning to lure you here didn't work too well because you're here, not with them.

"Anyways your friend Ron I think I heard his name was was also here. It was quite interesting actually. I remember being on spying duty when he showed up. Pat had called me earlier saying that a young red haired boy had arrived and was almost killed by the bats. I got the pleasure of watching the showdown. Ron had come to the headquarters and demanded to know what was going on. He then saw Katilin who he dueled with and let me tell you Mr. Weasley was wining until Katilin laying on the floor hopeless took a plant vase next to her and smacked him. I watched as he tumbled to the floor and dropped his wand. I even got nervous at this point, I thought he was dead but it seems like Katilin didn't hit him hard enough to kill. I watched as she cleaned the wound made on his head with a flick of her wand and erased his memories. She slipped something into his mouth before making him disappear, which I later found out with some snooping that it was a sickness poison so it made him sick when he got back.

"I knew that it wouldn't be long now for you to show up, now that your best friend had showed up here. Then it was on the day you showed up that I saw Ginny being pulled into the slide knocked out. That only meant one thing, that you were here too. Since then we've been preparing to get you out. Then we visited Ginny and"

Only at this point of the story did Harry cut in, "You saw her? How was she?"

"Unconscious. But the good thing was that they were going over what their plans were right when we entered. They were saying that by now you would have figured out Ginny was here and would be going to find her now and you would walk right into their open arms. We have a plan though a plan that will get both you and Ginny out of here alive, hopefully", Mr. Grump finally finished.

Harry was lost for words. Mr. Grump was right this was a lot to take in. "So wait what's the plan?"

Mr. Grump opened his mouth to answer but just at the moment something buzzed in his pocket. Mr. Grump pulled out what looked like a muggle cell phone and read something on the screen.

"No time, we have to go" Mr. Grump said.

"Go where?", Harry asked.

"You'll see. You ready? Let's go bust you out of here" Mr. Grump said and stuffed his wand in his hand.
