A/N: This is my first real multi chapter fic. I see myself coming to many instances of writer's block during, so feel free to supply me with ideas in the review section. I will try to update at least once a week. Enjoy!

Harry was very happy; at least he was until last night. Apparently a Death Eater had gathered his strength and assembled all the other former Death Eaters to hold a new uprising. Of course, it had to a quarter into his 8th Year. The castle was repaired over only three weeks; actually, Hogwarts seemed to help repair itself.

Minerva had called a meeting and Harry was slowly making his way down the corridor with his best friends and his…Ginny. Ok, it's not like he didn't love her anymore, it's just their relationship seemed to be more obligatory than anything else lately. Sure they'd kiss and make out but it was missing that spark Harry was used to. Of course it just had to be them getting used to each other. He'd look at his friends Hermione and Ron, though, and realize it wasn't really common to lose that passion; yes they'd only been together almost a year, but the fire had been building for years, so they may as well have dated since age twelve.

Harry sighed and turned the corner to face the gargoyle obscuring the steps leading to the Headmistress' office. "Parsnip," he mumbled, and the four walked up the stairs to the dimly lit room. "Prof-", he started as he took in the three others sitting around her desk. "What's going on?"

"I trust you read about the uprising in Belfast, Harry?" asked McGonagall.

"Yes, I read it in the Evening Prophet last night. But that doesn't explain why they're here."

"Well, you four, Luna, and Neville were the most important people in the fight to bring down the Dark Lord." Harry tried to interrupt again, but she silenced him with a pointed look. "And Draco is seen as a traitor and revenge would be sought should the uprising cross the pond, as Muggles say. We are relocating several students for the time being, but for you lot, I am sending you all to America; more specifically Lima, Ohio."

"I want to fight!" shouted Harry and Neville at the same time.

"Look, as admirable as that is, aren't you both tired? I stood by while Dumbledore used you as pawns; I understand why he did it, but I couldn't condone it. You all had a big hand in winning the last Wizarding War and that alone is quite a lot. As long as I'm your Headmistress I will not see you hurt more that you've already been," she said walking to the front of her desk, eyes shining. "Now I've already called Mr. Figgins; he'll be your new principle. He has recruited three of his faculty to help us. I'm truly sorry you won't be going to Salem to continue your magical education, but if this uprising gets as bad as we expect, it's one of the first places they'll look. I just want you to be safe. Now, your Portkeys leave in about an hour. I suggest you pack clothes and other valuables."

The seven students went to their respective dormitories. Harry, Ron and Neville were pulling out their trunks when Seamus entered the room. "Hey. What are you doing? Are you leaving? If this is because of the uprising, I promise I'll protec-"

"Seamus, mate, we don't really have a choice. We're being sent out of the country by McGonagall," mumbled Ron, with a pained expression on his face, as Errol tapped on the glass of his bedside window. "Can you have Dean come up here if he can within the hour so we can say goodbye?" he asked while unrolling a parchment. "Oy, Harry, it's a letter from Mum. They're staying here to fight! What…! Oh Merlin…!" he shrieked, pacing lightly across the floor.

"Ron, I'm sure if they're staying here, they have certain safeguards. Besides, you haven't even read the rest of the letter. Your family must have a solid plan, just calm down," said Neville while folding a pair of pajamas.

After saying their goodbyes to their dorm mates, the three boys met up with Ginny and Hermione and the group made its way back to McGonagall's office. "Alright you lot, are you ready to go to Ohio? Now remember, your hosts' names are Will, Shannon, and Emma. Are there any questions?" When they all shook their heads, McGonagall pulled out an old worn-out picture frame, sniffing faintly. "This Portkey will be leaving in about a minute, so Hermione, Ron, and Ginny, go ahead and grab on. Your host will be Shannon Beiste. And Weasley, I'll protect your family as best I can. Make sure you three have a good grip on your trunks, and let your hosts know I will update them as regularly as possible. I will truly miss you." McGonagall released her hold on the frame and two seconds later, they felt the familiar tug behind their navel.

"Neville and Luna, your Portkey leaves next. Your hosts' name is Emma Pillsbury. Figgins told me she has something called OCD, so please be patient with her." She pulled out a plastic ruler, and placed a hand over that of Neville's. "Your grandmother assured me she was taking an extended vacation to visit her friend Doris in Australia. And Luna, Xenophilius will be fine; he's in the house of an Order member. Hold on tight, and be safe." With a small Pop! , they were gone.

"Harry…." She sniffed and placed her hand on the man's shoulder, squeezing gently. Harry just nodded; he understood. "Your and Draco's host is Will Shuester. Please be safe, and as soon as I know anything, so will you. Draco, be good," McGonagall actually managed a watery smile and hugged him lightly. She held out a light purple slipper and after a jerky nod, let go. Harry and Draco felt the yank behind their navel, and a moment later, were standing in the living room of a man with blonde curls, a dimpled chin and blue eyes.

"Harry, Draco. I'm Will Shuester. It's nice to meet you…"
