-1'He's here!'

'Is he?'

' Ye look!'

Sunlight flooded the box room as a young girl drew back the curtains causing the teenage boy in the camp bed to sit up with a start.

"Harry!" she squealed upon seeing he was awake.

'Hey Hermione' he replied as she flung her arms around him.

It was ten o clock and Ron and Hermione were sitting on harrys bed at the Burrow. He had arrived in the middle of the night and they had just discovered he was there.

Suddenly the door flew open and a young girl with shocking red hair came in carrying a breakfast tray laden with food.

' mum told me to bring this up ' She muttered into the floor determinedly not looking at Harry as she dumped the tray on the bed, then she locked eyes with Harry for a split second. Turning on her heel as her face went almost as red as her hair , she almost ran out of the room .

" What's up with her!" Ron exclaimed.

"RON!" Hermione replied, " you have to be THE most insensitive person I have ever met!"

"What!"

" Well after what happened between her and Harry last term it cant be easy seeing him! Don't you think she is going to be slightly uncomfortable around him?"

"Well she could at least be civil and look at him!" Hermione sighed and gave Ron a look

that quite plainly said - ' be quiet if you know what's good for you!'

Harry seized the opportunity of silence to ask a question that had been bugging him:

"So any news of Malfoy? Snape? Anyone!"

This simple question caused Ron to fall off the bed in shock and then recovering he said -

"Well Harry ..Sorry mate nothing.."

"What! You mean they Killed Dumbledore and then vanished! They just Vanished!"

" well no one can find them…."

"They must be hiding somewhere! Probably the under the Fidelius charm.. Maybe Snape is the secret keeper!

The fidelius charm is a complicated charm that only a great wizard can perform. It involves trusting one person with the whereabouts of a certain place. Someone can then only see that place if that person , or the secret keeper as they are known, tells them where it is. You could be looking at through someone's front window and not see they were there if they were under the charm.

Harry then sat in silence whilst Ron pondered this comment , and after taking a piece of toast off Harry's plate he said ,

" He has to be in the country they couldn't have left without the ministry knowing. They have tightened security ten fold since the attack . In fact even Hogwarts has had security tightened, and I didn't think that was possible. Dad told me Hogwarts has never been safer."

"they say that every year Ron and look what happened last time…" Harry replied.

A sharp voice sounded from downstairs interrupting Harry mid flow -

"Ron , Hermione come downstairs and give Harry a chance to get dressed!"

"see you in a minute" Harry said dolefully as they left the room.

Harry finished his boiled egg and promptly got dressed . Then ,carrying his tray , he set off towards the door. When he opened it he was confronted with the pretty red head he had seen earlier.

"hey..er..hi.." he begun uncomfortably,

"hi " she replied coolly before striding off up a flight of stairs her read hair flowing out behind her.

'why did I end it?' Harry wondered.
