Continued from www.thedeathly-hallows.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=london&action=display&thread=3007Hermione's scream woke up the painting of Mrs Black. The curtains flew open and she began to scream. "Filthly Mudbloods... Muggle lovers..." Ron tried to protect Hermione as she clutched his sleeve. He turned towards her slightly and put his free arm around her. Ron watched as the ghost got closer and closer. Ron was about to scream himself when the ghost seemed to be close enough to touch him. And then Dumbledore passed through the trio and vanished. Ron turned to look behind him but there was nothing here. "It was Dumbledore...he out the protection on the house to keep it safe...he knew." Harry said and Ron nodded slowly. He hugged Hermione for a quick moment to reassure her. He then released the girl and made his way forward. Ron was careful as he looked for any more surprises. He was just so tired. Ron just wanted to sleep. He looked around as he moved further into the house. It was clear that someone else had been in the house. The umbrella and cane stand had been knocked over and Ron paused to straighten it. He hurried to the screaming woman and snapper "Shut up, bloody woman!" as he yanked the curtains shut again. All was silent now.

As everything had passed and it was fairly quiet , Harry started walking up the hallway. He heard a woman screetching and Ron screaming at it. He was a bit frighted, but it did look like someone else has been there...but who? was the question. "Everyone get your wands out and keep them out" he said to the two of them. "We need to make sure no one is here", he said as he started heading up the stairs.
"I'm going upstairs...Ron you go right and Haromine you go left, and then we will meet back down here when we finish looking around", he orderd them as he started to walk up the stairs. It was quite dark in the house, and Harry had no matches to light the many lanterns on the walls as he needed to see where he was going.
"Lumos" he casted as there was a bright light that formed on the tip of his wand. The halls were no longer that dark infront of him, and he continued to explore. Harry knew that this place was protected by Dumbledore so it should be safe, so his concerns were low. He would have never sent Ron and Haromine on their own if he would have though otherwise.
Harry came upon a door he knew all too well, as it was a place he was in before. He put his hand on the doorknob and turned it slighly and quietly. The door creaked as the door was opened more and more, and when it was fully opened he walked inside the cold dark room.
He held up his wand and had a quick look around before he entered any further. It was his godfathers room "Serious Black" and his heart fell to the floor as he missed him very much. He looked around and explored a bit as he had found nothing out of the order. He decided since the coast was clear that he should check on his friends as it has been sometime. He turned around and took his last galnce at the room and then shut the door.
He headed downstairs and noticed that Ron and Haromine weren't there yet. He drew a little concerned, as he headed to the right in hopes that all was ok.

Hermione was relieved when the shrieking was silenced, and the girl felt like setting the painting up in flames. Unfortunately, she knew that that was something that would not work. She sighed and walked ahead, keeping close to her boys and glancing over her shoulder every now and then. Harry instructed them to pull their wands out, but Hermione's had already been out and held tightly in her hand.
With a final absentminded glance over to Ron, Hermione went left, her wand held high. "Lumos," she whispered under her breath, inching down the hallway with her back close to the wall. The house seemed to creak and protest the entrance of more people. It seemed as dead as its previous owner. Hermione began to hear murmuring and she froze, her eyes widening. She forced her heart and breaths to even out as she came to an open door. She was about to turn the corner when something scuttled around behind her and with quick reflexes she spun around on her heels- a, "Stupify," left her lips and after a flash of light, a fat stunned rat lay on the ground. She swore under her breath at her jumpiness and quickly turned the corner with her wand out.
"The Mudblood is back. Oh Mistress would not like this- no, not at all." Hermione sighed at Kreature's words. Surely the little thing didn't know what he was saying. He obviously had not been fed in- well, Lord only knew how long. Hermione frowned.
"Kreature, have you been here all alone?" The House Elves eyes widened and he began tugging on his ears.
"The Mudblood is speaking to me." He continued to mutter to himself and Hermione winced at the word. She glanced back out the door and wondered what the others were doing. She wanted to go to them, but didn't want to leave Kreature alone- and she knew she wouldn't be able to drag him along. Hermione let out another sigh. The boys were probably still searching the house. Hermione was in the lower kitchens and she began to look around. She searched the very empty cabinets. Hermione heard footsteps behind her and spoke.
"There is no food in the house."

"Everyone get your wands out and keep them out" Harry told them and Ron looked back at him. His face was a mixture of fear, anger, and exhaustion. "We need to make sure no one is here" Harry added. "I doubt that anyone would continue on after seeing what we just saw." Ronald muttered. "I'm going upstairs...Ron you go right and Hermione you go left, and then we will meet back down here when we finish looking around", Harry added and then started away.
Ron stared after Harry and then looked at Hermione's retreating back. That really was getting to him. The way Harry always gave orders and just expected everyone else to follow. Ron sighed and then took his wand and started right. He might as well look around. He cast Lumos and then began moving along the hallway and looking into each room. The rooms were cleaner than they had been last time Ron had been here but at the same time the house looked uninhabited.
Ron turned after a few moments and headed back the way he had come. He saw neither Hermione or Harry and so he continued on towards the kitchen. He turned into the room and found Hermione with Kreatcher. "There is no food in the house." Hermione said now and Ron stepped around the room looking into the cupboards. She was right, there was nothing. "Kreatcher," Ron said now.
He hated bothering to speak to the house elf but at a time like this, it had to be done. "We are very hungry. Are you able to get us food?" The old house elf stared at Ron for a long moment. "I do not do anything for blood traitors and mud bloods." He finally said. Ron scowled and lowered his wand at the elf. "Mind your words." He growled.

Harry reached the botton of the stairs and listened for his friends. He heard some comotion comming from down the hall sounding like his friends. Harry held his wand up high just to be on gaurd, just incase it wasn't Ron or Haromine.
Harry walked towards the voices and they drew louder and louder the closer that he got. He then finally made out the voices that reasurerd him that those voices he heard was his friends, but there was one that wasn't. Harry reached a door which appeared to be the kitchen, and walked inside and noticed that Ron was terribly upset while Haromine observed.
"Creature!!", Harry shouted as he stormed towards that nasty house elf with his wand raised to him along with Ron's. "I believe my friends asked you a question" he said to him as he starred him down. Harry watched as he still was saying or doing nothing, so he grabbed creature by the throat and spoke louder to Creature and gave him a little shake.
"Alright..alright" Creature said to Harry. "Whatever you want...Harry Potter" he said with a sly grin as he snapped his fingers, and there was all kinds of food on the old dusty table. Completly famished, Harry dug right into the food starting with a piece of pheasant and a piece of bread.
"Haromine..Ron did you notice anything at all around the house?" he asked them with his mouth half full of food. Harry grabbed a piece of corn on the cob and slathered it with butter, and chomped on hit quite hard and loud.
