Well you get another ch. before i leave, lucky you! thank the unknow fish for that! Read and Review!


Lupin and Tonks Disapparated to their required destinations almost at one after the meeting. Fred and George meanwhile stayed and talked with the family for a couple of hours before leaving.

"I think we should leave at four in the morning," suggested Hermione. She was sitting in Ron's room with him and Ginny discussing their trip.

"Four o'clock in the bloody morning?" yelled Ron.

"Yes, the sooner the better, plus we only have three days before we have to back to the school again," Hermione said raising her eye brows.

"Couldn't we move it—"

"To when Ronald? How about two, is that better for you?" Hermione asked getting very annoyed with the lazy Ron.

"No…no four sounds lovely," he mumbled.

"Good," said Ginny. "Where are we staying?"

"What's wrong with right here?" asked Ron.

"The ministry over sees Floo and Apparation Ronald, they'll think we're up to something traveling from four a.m. to ten p.m. every day!" said Hermione.

"Fine, ok I didn't think!" Ron retorted.

"You should! How about the Leaky Cauldron?" asked Ginny.

"A little out in the open don't you think Ginny?" said Ron. "What? I was thinking!" Ron added after getting a nasty glare from Hermione.

"Yes Ginny, that'll be good, if we look like we're trying to hid, someone will think we're up to something, use your head Ron!"

"Fine, now leave I'm going to be so I can get up at bloody four o'clock," Ron mumbled.

"No Ron, get up earlier. We need to leave at four, get up at like three thirty," suggested Ginny trying to annoy the hell out of him.

It worked. "Out!" he yelled.

Ginny giggled but did as her brother asked. Her and Hermione then went to sleep themselves so they could and would be able to function at such an early hour.

Hours passed, but it seemed like seconds to Ron, Ginny, and Hermione. Soon enough it was three in the morning and Hermione woke up lazily. She started packing stuff they needed. Not food; just money, clothes, toiletries, and a book(s) were just some of the things she packed.

Around three thirty Ginny woke up and trudged her way into the bathroom. When she came out she looked completely awake and ready to look for Harry. Then it was Hermione's turn to go into the bathroom and Ginny went downstairs to fix them a spot of breakfast. But before that she made sure that Ron was up and getting ready (which of course he wasn't). Roughly ten minutes Hermione and Ron came down stairs. Hermione fully awake, and Ron about a third awake.

"Nice, burned eggs," commented Ron as her took so not-so-burned eggs and shoveled them into his mouth.

"All right, you could next time!" snapped Ginny.

"Yes, thank you Ginny for making breakfast," said Hermione giving Ron a rather nasty glare.

"So where d'you think Harry would be hiding in Diagon Alley?" asked Ron.

"Now you think," said Hermione. "Hm, I really hadn't thought about it."

"Great, now you choose not to think?" asked Ron sarcastically.

"Well I'm sorry I can to everything at once Ronald!"

"Calm down guys, well just look all over, all right?" said Ginny trying to make peace.

"Sounds good," mumbled Ron.

"Yeah, ok," said Hermione.

Once breakfast was done and cleaned up Hermione went to fetch the bag and Ron wrote a note to his parents saying when they'd be back. After five minutes of last minute things Hermione, Ron, and Ginny stepped outside and inhaled the cool morning air. Since Ron and Hermione could Apparate with out help, Ginny went with Hermione and Ron took the bag.

Crack. The three students landed on a coble stone road they knew to be Diagon Ally. It wasn't completely deserted, but it wasn't like it was later in the day. Most shops weren't even open.

Inside the Leaky Cauldron was just like outside, but warmer. There were so dodge people in the shadowy corners. No one looked to be a soon-to-be seventeen-year-old Harry Potter.

Hermione got them a room and they brought the bag up there. After a entire day of combing Diagon Ally they came up with zilch; nothing.

"Well Harry is defiantly here," Ron mumbled sarcastically as they made their way back to the Leaky Cauldron.

"We only got to search half of Diagon Ally, he may still be here, or we might find a trace of him from being here before," Ginny said.

They walked inside. All of the tables had been turned over and no one was inside except three figures that stood up when Ron, Hermione, and Ginny came in.

"Death eaters!" whispered Hermione.

"Looking for Harry Potter?" asked the one on the left. "Stupefy!"

"Protego!" shouted Ginny.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Ron shouted and it hit the Death Eater to the right.

"Stupefy!" yelled the last reaming Death Eater. It hit Ron and he flew back and hit the wall.

"Expelliarmus!" Hermione yelled throwing the last standing Death Eater off of his feet.

"How the bloody hell did they know we were here?" asked Ron.

"I have no idea, Obliviate!" Hermione said whipping the minds of all three Death Eaters.

"Incarcerous," said Ginny. The three Death Eaters became bound with rope and propped up against one another for support.

"I think we should get out of here, tonight," suggested Ron as the walked back to their rooms.

"Yeah, me too," added Ginny.

"All right, where to?" Hermione asked packing up their stuff back into the bag.

"How about we go back home?" recommended Ron.

"Ok, but we're not Apparating there," Hermione said leading Ron and Ginny out of the Leaky Cauldron.

"The Night bus?" suggested Ginny.

"No, we're flying there," stated Hermione.
