Chapter 1: Prologue or "They Know"

Hermione sat at the kitchen table at 12 Grimmauld Place drinking a cup of coffee. She had the

newest copy of the Daily Prophet. If she knew that in less than twenty-four hours she'd be in one of the

largest battles the Wizarding world had yet seen, she might have done things differently. Or possibly

not, seeing how little stock Hermione put into divination.

Remus came running through the door, causing Hermione to jump in shock.

She giggled a little, "Remus, you scared me..."

"They know!" he interrupted her. She paled slightly, knowing exactly to what he was referring.

"How much time do we have?"

"Not long, grab a few things... but make it quick... they'll be here soon." He wiped his forehead,

clearing the sweat that had started to bead there.

She ran down the hallway, no longer having to worry about Mrs. Black, since they had taken

her down shortly after Sirius' disappearance in the Department of Mysteries. They had feared this for

some time. The Dark Lord had been getting more and more information on the Order. How was

anyone's guess, since all the members were fiercely loyal.

She had a bag already packed. A couple days clothing, paper, pens, and her wand were all

stowed away in the case by the door to her bedroom. She hurried back to the kitchen where Remus

waited patiently for her. They walked quickly out the backdoor. She walked quickly into his embrace

and they apparated away as a group of Death Eaters descended upon 12 Grimmauld Place.
