Fanfic: Harry Potter und die Rache des Lords
Chapter: The new headquarters
@uschissmile and Goettin_Bastet many thanks for your clerks.
Sorry it took so long, but I had certain problems with my internet, SORRY!
So now let's continue with Chapter 2.
-----
Towards evening someone rang the doorbell. Uncle Vernon opened the door.
"Good evening, we would like to pick up Harry," said a man with red hair.
"All right, come in and hurry up," Vernon grumbled.
He looked out the door and down the street to make sure no one saw these three people disappear into his house.
The three wizards entered the house. Aunt Petunia had come out of the living room and greeted the three people warmly. She led the 3 men to Harry's room door. The red-haired wizard opened the door and entered the room with his companions. Harry, absorbed in a book, looked up to see the friendly faces of Arthur Weasley, Remus Lupine and Mad-Eye Moody.They were barely recognizable in their Muggle clothing.
"Hello Harry, we want to pick you up at our new headquarters," said Mr. Weasley gently.
Harry closed his book and put it on the nightstand. He immediately started packing his things. He also packed his birthday presents. After a few minutes he was done. So he left his room with the others.
"Thanks again for the presents. See you next summer," Harry said goodbye.
"Yes, take care," Petunia said, patting Harry like a mother would her son.
Then all four wizards left the house. They had just walked a few steps down the street when suddenly the Knight Riding came rushing up and stopped. The four wizards took the chance and got on the three-story bus.
Like last time it was a very fast drive, but they were there in just a few minutes. The bus stopped in front of a big old house. From the outside it was reminiscent of the Black house.But when Harry entered the building, he quickly realized that it was at least clean and well furnished on the inside.
The house was in a deserted area in the wizarding world. To enter it, you had to knock three times in a certain rhythm and then say the password. When "guests" came, they only had to knock three times.
Harry found it really cozy. No sooner had all four people entered the house than Mrs. Weasley came in a hurry.
"There you are, Harry, good to see you again," she said gently.
Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry happily. Mr. Weasley took Harry's luggage upstairs to the room.
It felt to Harry as if he were standing in a rather antique, posh house. In the middle of the first floor a long corridor ran through the house, which started at the front door and only ended at the other end of the hall against a wall. The corridor was covered with a velvety red carpet and there were numerous pictures on the walls (portraits, landscapes, animals, etc.).There were silver, shiny chandeliers on the ceiling. If you looked to the right, you saw a wall in the corner was a set of stairs that went up and down. On the left were a few doors that led into rooms.
"Before you go up there is something to eat first," said Molly Weasley and ushered Harry into the kitchen.
There was various kitchen furniture there. To the right of a window was a long, wide, dark wooden table, with many chairs scattered around it. A generous, tasty looking menu was served. A few hungry guests were already sitting at the table. They greeted Harry immediately.
"Hello Harry, haven't seen you in a long time and happy birthday" said Fred and George in unison.
Bill and Charlie were also sitting at the table and congratulating Harry.
"Happy birthday from us too," said Lupine in a friendly manner and spoke on behalf of everyone who was in the Order of the Phoenix.
Harry sat next to Fred. A few minutes later, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, an unknown girl, and a few other members of the Order appeared.As everyone was seated at the table, Harry noticed two empty chairs, one of which was right next to Remus Lupine.
> That would be Sirius' place. If only he were here. Without Sirius everything is only half as good, thought Harry.
But the young Potter wasn't the only one looking at the empty space. Lupine too had turned his head to the side in the empty space next to him. Little by little everyone turned his gaze to the empty space.
"I think he wouldn't want us mourning him. He'd say eat and enjoy. We'd all be happier if Sirius were here. Dumbledore deeply regrets losing him, even Snape said "We have lost an important member," said Arthur Weasley.
Slowly they turned back to the food. It was really delicious. Ron, Fred and George stuffed their stomachs with pork steaks, chicken legs, meatballs and other goodies, among other things. Actually, they all got pretty good.Only Lupine didn't eat that much.
When they had finished eating, an unknown wizard entered the kitchen.
"Oh you're late, but I can warm you up," said Mrs. Weasley, who had just cleared the table.
"Just don't worry about me, a little toast is enough for me. My job took a little longer than expected," replied the stranger.
The wizard sat in the empty chair next to Mad-Eye Moody and began to eat. For a long time there was a silent silence.

Continuation desired ???
I have to admit that this chapter wasn't very exciting, but I had to write it because it explains a little bit.
