Safe House

Harry had been reviewing the paperwork for nearly three weeks and he currently sat in the Auror boardroom catching hell from Shaklebolt for dragging his feet about informing her. So long, in fact, that Shaklebolt had taken the liberty of summoning Pansy Parkinson to the Auror Office in the Ministry.
Today.
Truth was, Harry had taken so long because he wanted to make extremely sure that he wasn’t going to be disrupting Parkinson’s life for what amounted to nothing but a dark rumor. Additionally, Harry had no intention of giving up a good portion of his own life babysitting the acerbic, featherbrained Slytherin if he didn’t have to.
Upon further investigation, however, the nothing had definitely turned into something. Two known lethally dangerous Death Eaters, Jugson and Mulciber, were after Pansy, convinced she was in possession of her father’s wardstones to access key unplottable, Ministry-backed institutions, currently holding evidence against them. And were, they were also fervent believers that several of these buildings held magical artifacts that, together, could resurrect the dead, the ritual, according to ancient runes lore, required the blood of a pureblood witch, and wouldn’t Parkinson fit that bill just fine.
Harry frowned. The door creaked and he looked up to see a more mature version of the dark-haired girl he remembered from Hogwarts.
