Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

Chapter 116: The Vigilante 'Curse'



One day during the holidays, Hermione and Ron were sent upstairs with the twins when a meeting of the order of the phoenix was supposed to happen. Hermione also told Mrs Weasley about the twins using extendable ears, needless to say they were planning to make her aware how stupid that decision was. At the meeting Dumbledore sat at the head of the table, around him was various member s of the Order. Including Mad-eye, Tonks, Sirius, Remus, McGonagall, Kingsley and various others.

"Silence" Dumbledore ordered "first things first, Severus has left the order and has quit his job as potion teacher"

"What?" Mad-eye barked "why?"

"Snape has quit after saying he has found himself a new employer who will help him get rid of Voldermort" Sirius and Remus hid a smile, as did McGonagall, they knew preciously who the employer was.

"Well let's contact him" Tonks suggested "convince him to work with us or contact his employer and convince him to work with us"

"An excellent idea, but unfortunately neither are willing. At least not yet, I plan to personally meet with his employer in the hopes of an agreement. The second order of business is the fact that Voldermort has returned" Many people shuddered, Sirius and Remus rolled their eyes

"He was resurrected from the graveyard with a ritual that involved Mr Potters blood"

"Excuse me" Kingsley interrupted "why hasn't Mr Potter made any comment on this? I would've thought that if Voldermort retuned then he'd be the first to tell people"

"Alas, I do not know. Perhaps he is still in shock and does not believe it happened"

"Trust me" A smooth voice spoke "he is not in shock" Everyone turned to see Snape standing in the corner

"Severus?!" Dumbledore was in shock "what are you doing here? You are no longer a member of the order"

"That is true" Snape nodded "however I am here at the request of my employer"

"Who is your employer?" Kingsley asked

"Him" Snape pointed to the kitchen counter, everyone looked at the counter and dropped their jaws in shock when they saw Harry and Ginny standing there. Harry was flipping pancakes with a frying plan while listening to music through some magically charmed headphones, it was presumably good seeing as Harry was nodding his head in a rhythm and mouthing the words. Ginny was beside him, preparing drinks and getting the cutlery ready.

"Hey Gin" Harry pulled his headphones off and handed them to Ginny "listen to it's really good" Ginny put the head phones on

"Wow you're right" She laughed "this is brilliant"

"Told you" Harry smiled, he then looked at the rest of the order who were looking at him in shock "oh, sorry everyone, we didn't mean to interrupt"

"Are those headphones?" Arthur asked curiously

"Yes dad" Ginny replied "don't worry we'll tell you all about them later"

"What are you two doing here?" Dumbledore gritted his teeth

"Well this is my godfathers house" Harry smiled "if anyone is allowed in here than it's definitely me. Ginny's my wife so where I go she goes and I brought SNape because I figured it be nice for him to get out a little bit, even if it's only to another house"

"Harry" Mrs Weasley gritted her teeth, she wanted to shout but every time she was about to do so she saw Kreatcher looking at her from the corner of her eyes "this is a meeting of the order, you two can't be here"

"Why not?" Ginny took her headphones off

"This is an adult meeting" Mrs Weasley responded "you two can't be here"

"Well that's stupid" Harry replied "need I remind you that if you're discussing what I think you're discussing then it concerns everyone, of age or not. Second of all I can promise you that me and Ginny have a combined mental age of at least two hundred, and as we're considered adults we are more than allowed to stay in this meeting"

"Considered adults?" Kingsley asked

"Yes Mr Shacklebolt" Ginny responded politely "me and Harry are married and thanks to our marriage we are considered of age"

"You two are married?" Kingsley asked in shock

"Well if you have an opportunity then don't waste it" Harry replied

"Smart words" Mad-eye smiled

"But how did you two get married?"

"He asked" Ginny pointed to Harry

"And she accepted" Harry pointed to Ginny "that is all we're willing to say on that particular topic"

"But you're still not members" One member pointed out

"It's fine" Dumbledore said "they can attend this meeting, it does concern them and we may need their help" Dumbledore was a bit peeved but this was a golden opportunity, if things went good he could get Harry to help him and maybe even get him to join the order. That would put him right under his thumb.

"I will get back to you two in a minute" Dumbledore continued "but first there is one more topic I wish to discuss, there is a vigilante that has been targeting known death eaters. He is known as 'Curse', sadly we know next to nothing about him"

"I've met him before" Mad-eye spoke "when Crouch had me locked in his trunk, he came to me, he gave me a separate trunk filled with medicine and food. He told me to hide it from Crouch and stay put until someone got me out, I wasn't about to argue with him"

"Was there anything else?" Kingsley asked

"Yes" Moody nodded "he knew all about Crouch impersonating me and his plan to trick Potter into the tournament."

"He what?" Harry acted shocked, in fact he looked so convincing that Ginny was ready to suggest becoming an actor.
