By now, Perenelle had entered the room and had cast a modified silencing charm so that young Gabrielle could not listen to the more sensitive topics of the conversation.
"Now, that traitor didn't deserve a trial for what he did... and for murdering Wormtail." Remus growled.
Harry by now was playing with whatever was in his hands whenever he was deep in thought or nervous. He wasn't sure if it was a combination of both and absently twirled the activated Marauder's map on the desk.
He spotted movement on the map and smiled when he saw the Weasley twins were going for another Butterbeer run. There were few students staying at Hogwarts this year, though it seems that the Weasleys were in full force, having the Gryffindor tower all to themselves.
Harry spotted a name and blinked, wondering if he was seeing things. He looked at it again and he pointed the name with his finger.
"I thought Wormtail was dead?" Harry asked.
"He is." Remus said bitterly. "Black destroyed him, and the only remains found in the street was his finger."
"Then what is he doing sleeping in the Gryffindor dorms?" Harry asked.
"Impossible!" Remus snatched the map from Harry with surprising speed, causing Julian to stand up and draw his wand.
Little Gabrielle was getting bored, Harry's toy bug was not flying anymore and so the young girl spun the string, making the beetle twirl around at even faster speeds than before. The beetle would flap its wings for a second or two, but it was obvious to that it was tired from all the flying for the past ten minutes.
As Gabrielle increased the speed, the blue yarn string suddenly snapped and a large crash and a shriek were heard on the bookshelves.
Immediately Harry was beside Gabrielle with his wand drawn and Remus wondered if the boy apparated. Julian was there too, his wand pointed at the ruins of his destroyed bookshelf.
Nicholas frowned and looked at Gabrielle's broken string she was playing with and the remains of the destroyed bookshelf, where the sounds of moaning and someone retching was clearly heard. The Master Alchemist waved his wand and the destroyed bookshelves repaired itself as splinters of wood and books returned to their proper places. A body of a woman was revealed, wearing green robes and an ornamental hat.
Apolline and Fleur had immediately drawn their wands, and had Gabrielle behind them, the memories of the assassin thief that broke into their home still fresh in their minds.
Julian immediately recognized the face of Britain's most notorious reporter, and a predatory smile appeared in the Frenchman's face.
"I'm surprised to see you here, Rita Skeeter."
Rita was still confused from all the spinning the devil child had done to her for the past ten minutes and she vomited the remaining contents of her stomach. As her vision slowly cleared and the room stopped spinning, she saw the face of an angry Julian Delacour before a flash of red light finally knocked her out.
December 27, Tonks Residence
BAM!
A fashion magazine that Apolline gave to Tonks slammed into the telly with such force that it hit the switch at the right spot and changed the channel.
"Harry!" Tonks shouted when she saw her familiar throw the magazine. "You could have broken the Telly!"
The trainee auror snatched the remote from her familiar and turned off the television, and then faced her young friend. "What's up with you?"
"Stupid Jerry." Harry grumbled from the couch.
"Harry, you shouldn't get all worked up with some stupid cartoon." Tonks said, though for some reason her lips kept twitching into a smile. Harry really looked adorable when he was in a mood.
"This show is rubbish!" The young thief declared. "How come that stupid mouse always wins?"
"Harry..." Tonks sighed. They shouldn't have gotten cable, nobody watched them at home anyway, and her mum preferred watching at her own leisure by renting VHS tapes. It was her father, a cable man by profession, that installed the cable and both Tonks women were reluctant to have it removed when he passed on. Nobody had much use for over 300 cable channels, until Harry arrived.
"Cats aren't stupid! And that mouse should have been crushed!" Harry continued his rant. He didn't find the cartoon funny at all, and after watching episode after episode of poor Tom being beaten or losing to a small brown mouse with freakishly big ears, he had enough.
Planning for Pettigrew's capture, Harry thought that the cartoons could inspire him to catch the traitorous rat that betrayed his parents to Voldemort. To his irritation, the small brown mouse with big ears kept on winning, to the point that he wanted nothing more than to swat the mouse's head so hard that he would decapitate it.
"Come on." Tonks physically dragged Harry away from the couch and towards the front door. She felt irritation from Harry and knowing him, he'd likely break something that was hard to repair with magic. "You're spending too much time in front of the telly. Let's go out, get some ice cream. How does that sound?"
Harry nodded and let Tonks lead him towards the local ice parlor, his thoughts still on the stupid rat. "I'll never watch that show again."
"What do you want this time?" Tonks asked, swinging their intertwined hands as they walked down the sidewalk.
"Strawberry." Harry said quickly, his sour mood instantly vanishing at the prospect of ice cream. His thoughts about the cold sweet goodness vanished when a glint of something shiny caught his eye.
He looked around the neighborhood and spotted a middle aged couple getting out what looked like a very expensive car. The man checked his silver watch and Harry was immediately drawn to it. It glinted at the sun, teasing him, beckoning him.
A sharp tug brought him back and he looked up to see Tonks giving him a glare.
"Tonks, I'll just go to the loo..."
"No."
"I'll order for us!" Harry offered.
"No." Tonks said, tightening her grip on her familiar and forcing him inside the ice cream parlor. "I know what you're thinking. We're here to spend some time together before you get back, so please Harry? Let's make the most of it."
