Harry Potter and the Fortunate Queen

After hearing about Dementors, almost instantly Hermione, Ginny and Ron turned to look at Chris.

"Dementors at Private Drive?" Mrs. Weasley screamed, clapping her hand on her mouth. 

"Where were you that time, Mundungus?" Dumbledore asked, with a furious and angry voice. Chris have only seen Dumbledore this much angry, when Dementors attacked Harry in a middle of a Quidditch match two years ago and two months ago when he caught Barty Crouch jr.

"I... I... was.." Mundungus was shaking suddenly. "I left... for sometime. For.. a deal."

"You left Harry without informing anyone?" Sirius roared. "I knew something like this will happen that's why I wanted to warn Harry ab.."

"Where's Harry, Mundungus?" Mrs. Weasley turned to him angrily. "I'm warning you, if anything happens to him, I'll..."

"Nothing 'appened... 'E used Patronus.. saved 'is bloke cousin... also old Figgy was t'ere." Mundungus replied.

Then before anyone can say anything Dumbledore stepped towards the door.

"I've to go to the Ministry. Fudge will try to expel Harry." Dumbledore said without his usual calmness. "Lupin inform Figg, about what she need to do, next. Tonks, watch Harry. Sirius come with me. And..."

He looked up, where Chris was standing with Hermione, Ginny and Ron.

"Send a fast owl to Harry. He shouldn't leave his Aunt's house." He said looking at Ron and Hermione. Then he looked at Chris, "And don't leave the headquarter right now. There's time to get answers."

And Dumbledore disappeared behind the door followed by Sirius and Tonks.

There was pin drop silence for few moments.

Chris knew why Dumbledore said that. She was thinking about inquiring Dames the moment she heard the word Dementor. But now she've to wait. Dumbledore is right though, it can be Malgino's trick to force her out of the headquarters.

"Hermione, you need to write a letter to Harry, fast." Chris said to Hermione. "Use Leon, he's really fast when he wants to be."

Hermione came back from her daze and hurriedly nodded.

They all went back to the girls' room and Hermione pulled out a parchment and quill but then stopped.

"I don't know what to write." she said looking at Ron for help. "You write."

"Ok. I'll just write, Harry don't leave the muggle house." Ron said taking the quill, then turned to Chris and Ginny. "Do you think that'll be enough to stop him?"

"Urghhh." Chris took the quill angrily. "We need to send this fast and here you're thinking what should you write. Unbelievable."

Chris urgently scribbled on the paper, as fast as she could write.

Listen Harry,

Don't get any ideas of running away from your Aunt's house like last time. Dumbledore went to talk to the Ministry. Keep your calm and trust him. Don't do anything else, please, for your own sake. 

Chris.

P.S. : Eat some chocolates and give some to your cousin, you deserve it.

Chris tied the paper with a chocolate filled pouch, she had stored for herself. Leon took off without waiting, understanding the urgency of the situation. After sending the letter they all ran back downstairs to know what actually happened. 

"... it was a very good business opportunity." Chris heard Mundungus saying.

"BUSINESSE OPPORTUNITY?" Mrs. Weasley shouted. "MUNDUNGUS FLETCHER, IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HARRY.. IF HE GET EXPELLED BECAUSE OF YOU.. I'LL BURN DOWN YOUR ALL STOLEN GOODS, I PROMISE."

Chris edged towards Leyla, who was standing a little far from others.

"Mr. Fletcher said he had a cauldron deal to make so he had to leave Harry unprotected." Leyla whispered to Chris. "When he got back, there was Harry and Mrs. Figg stumbling with Harry's cousin. Harry's cousin was unconscious, maybe the Dementors almost kissed him."

"Who's Mrs. Figg?" Chris said.

"She is Harry's neighbour. I heard she's a squib." Leyla replied. "Do you know what squib means?"

"Yeah." 

That night after Mr. Weasley came and informed everyone that Dumbledore had talked to the Ministry and the Ministry decided to take decision after Harry's trial, Mrs. Weasley went to make dinner and the others relaxed, except Mundungus Fletcher, who was summoned by Dumbledore. 

Sirius couldn't help himself and went straight to the Privet Drive, but he promised he'll not meet Harry. 

By the time Mrs. Weasley, who was still looking furious, finished preparing dinner, everyone left. Only the Weasleys, Lupin, Hermione and Chris was in the house. 

They all sat for dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were talking to Lupin about Harry amd Sirius's reckless behavior, Bill and Charlie joined the twins as they were talking about Harry's heroics. Ron and Hermione were still looked fearful. Ginny turned to Chris. 

"You said you talked to Dames." Ginny whispered. "You said he'll inform the others not to join You-Know-Who then what the Dementors were doing near Harry's house?"

"I've the same question, Ginny. Why do you think Dumbledore asked me to wait." Chris whispered back. "I was planning to call Dames. But I can't do that inside this house. I've to go out for that.."

"Which will be not wise." supplied Hermione. "I don't think after what happened to Harry, it'll be a great idea to go out of the headquarters, alone."

"I know." Chris sighed. "That's why I don't want to do anything stupid."

"But we need to know why the Dementors attacked Harry." Ron said a little loudly. Everyone on the table looked at him. Chris, Ginny and Hermione glared at him. 

"You know I'm thinking the same." George said. "What on earth Dementors were doing in Little Whinging?"

"Do you think Fudge sent them?" Fred said looking at Lupin. "I mean maybe he planned that to expel Harry."

"He doesn't have that much brain, unfortunately." Lupin sighed. "And there is no way he knows Harry can perform the Patronus charm."

"Do you think You-Know-Who sent them?" Ginny asked.

"Ginny!" Mrs. Weasley looked shocked by her daughter's boldness.

"Molly, they've the right to know that much." Mr. Weasley said.

"That's our guess." Lupin said to Ginny. "Only Dumbledore had a better idea about this." 

Hermione opened her mouth to ask something when a white snowy owl came soaring into the Kitchen and landed in front of Chris. Chris recognized the owl, it was Harry's owl Hedwig. Chris took the letters from Hedwig, one was addressed to her and the other was addressed to Ron, but both had same words scribbled inside them.

I've just been attacked by two dementors and I might be expelled from Hogwarts. I want to know what's going on and when I'm going to get out of here. So just tell me that.

Harry
