Chapter #22: Adventure time, part I.

Harry was alone, but that doesn’t mean he was wasting time, all the opposite, actually, he was looking at everything he got from Yaxley, all the treasures, the paintings, the relics from other families, but the most important thing he was looking at was the map that was hidden under the treasure chamber.

“Let’s see,” he said as he took out the copy of the map he had made, he had to leave the original in case Voldemort or his followers realized someone knew about the map.

Harry didn't know why, but he felt like the map was making important things, but he had no reason to worry about being caught, after all, right now he knew that the house was hiding under the fidelius charm and now not even the dark lord was able to see the place as he gave his followers complete privacy.

Still, Harry can't help but worry about what's going to happen once he realizes that one of his most important followers has disappeared, things are surely going to become quite interesting for him and his followers.

“Well, this map has many things marked with an “x”, but there are also some interesting points written in…Dumbledore’s house?” Harry said with wonder.

That was truly a mystery, everyone knows Dumbledore is dead, he was the only known public casualty as a consequence of the efforts of the dark lord to take over the country, well, it was said that the dark lord had nothing to do with his death and many people have fooled themselves to believe that, however, it’s more than obvious that the dark lord got rid of the threat that the old man represented for his reign.

“It is said that Dumbledore hid many treasures and secrets in his home, but even if I find his place, I’m sure it’s going to be difficult to find the secrets hidden there,” Harry couldn’t help but sigh.

He didn’t want to get too immersed in this, however, if Dumbledore knew or had some secret weapon that could be used to destroy the dark lord, he needed to search for it, whatever information he could find would be great.

“I guess it’s time for adventure,” Harry said with a happy expression.

He ran towards his room and got dressed, black boots, blue jeans, and a black shirt were more than enough for him, he grabbed his wand and some Polyjuice potion, but before he could get out, someone entered his home.

“Oh, hey Malfoy, what's up?” Harry asked with a calm expression.

“Not much…I was bored, and I wanted to see if you were doing something fun,” the blonde said with a dry tone.

Harry could only sigh, the guy was truly annoying, but there was nothing he could do to get rid of him, after all, he was funding his work, but he also couldn’t help but admit that he had become quite attached to the blonde ponce.

He loves the way he’s always surprised when he invents something, but he’s also amused every time he sees him acting like a jerk and complaining, it’s funny to put someone with such an entitled attitude through some difficulty.

“Well, you've arrived at the best moment, it’s time for an adventure!” Harry said with a happy tone.

“What? Really? What are we searching for?” Questioned the blonde with an eager expression.

“Something scary…We’re going to visit a tomb or…Well, more like a place that belongs to someone who’s already dead,” Harry confessed with a disappointed tone.

“Really? Who?” Draco was getting more and more interested in the adventure.

“Albus Dumbledore…” Harry answered with a creepy expression.

However, that had zero effect on the blonde.

“Oh, the guy who tried to oppose the dark lord. It was disappointing to know that he was the hope for the light side, only for him to die too quickly,” Malfoy said before yawning.

It’s clear that he wasn’t too interested in the light side of the conflict, although Harry didn’t consider them good, to be fair, they just weren’t mercilessly killing people, and at least that made them better in his book.

“Well, we'd better get going, there’s no better time than the present,” the blonde urged him, and Harry smiled.

“Put your hand on my shoulder and get ready at three…Let’s go!” Harry surprised the blonde.

Malfoy wasn’t ready, so he had to hold on to Harry’s shoulder as quickly as possible, soon, they were gone from his place, and now, they were in the middle of a forest, but the place looked so depressing, so lifeless, as the trees were completely dead, just like the grass.

“This place looked like it had been visited by dementors,” Malfoy tried to act bravely.

However, the sound some ravens made startled him, Harry couldn’t help but smirk at the blonde’s attitude, seeing him acting like this for such simple things was amusing, however, they weren’t here to be scared, they were there to find treasures, and there was no time to waste.

“Come on, Malfoy, according to this map, we’re going to arrive soon at Dumbledore’s home,” Harry said, tired of the blonde, who was still wary of the environment.

Malfoy nodded and soon they walked inside the forest, as they got deeper into the forest, the place started to look even more lifeless than before, still, Harry was surprised to see that Dumbledore's home was too easy to find, however, his eyes widened the moment they arrived at the marked place only to realize there was nothing.

“Are you sure it’s here?” Asked the blonde with a concerned tone.

“Yes, there’s no doubt it’s here, but—” Harry’s eyes suddenly widened.

He decided to say the address of this place out loud, and then his eyes widened as the abandoned manor appeared, he couldn’t help but smirk, this was hidden under the fidelius charm, he was hoping the Death Eaters didn't steal everything.

“Why are you grinning like—” Malfoy was about to question him.

However, his inquiries were answered the moment he looked at the home that just appeared in front of them.

“Wow...Turns out that the man had style,” Malfoy said with a serious tone.

“Come on, let’s get inside!” Harry said with a motivated tone. “I’m surprised there are no traps,” Harry muttered with a bit of skepticism.

“Let’s not be hasty, my father has told me about this place, it seems like it's impenetrable, there’s something stopping people from entering, be careful!” Malfoy tried to make Harry understand.

The emerald-eyed wizard was a bit skeptical about Malfoy’s words, but in the end, he accepted that the blonde was right, there could be many traps, so, he had his wand ready in case they encountered something that could stop them. Once they reached the main door, Harry was hesitant about opening it, but in the end, he did it, he managed to easily get inside the manor.

“Hey, this isn’t too bad,” Harry declared with a happy expression.

“This looks too easy, Father told me that this place was brutal, I guess I’ve been lied to!” Malfoy complained. “Where did you get that map, though?” Questioned the Malfoy with a raised brow.

“From Yaxley, trust me, we had an interesting meeting last night, needless to say that you aren’t going to see him again,” Harry chuckled.

Malfoy couldn’t help but sigh, it seems like had killed another of his comrades, still, Malfoy didn’t think too much about it, in the end he just followed Harry inside, however, the moment he stepped inside the home something horrible happened, a hand appeared on the floor stopping him on his tracks, to say the blonde was terrified and worried would be a complete understatement.
