What to do?

Ron looked at Harry with an impressed look on his face,

"Wow, I knew she had attitude, but bloody hell, she was good wasn't she!"

"Definitely," agreed Harry

"Let's go upstairs," he added, Ron nodded in agreement, Hermione was sitting on Harry's bed frowning in concentration,

"Once again, brilliant," said Ron smiling,

"Thanks," laughed Hermione,

"I was just thinking, on the trip we can't bring our trunks, so what are we going to do? Then I thought about a book I read in first year called "useful magic," by Enid Galahorn, and I remember that in chapter four, he stated that it was possible for someone to put a truck load of objects into a box, and it would only weigh 10 kg, so I figure we could try that on our trunks and put it into a small bag or something," she said looking up at Harry for his approval,

"I have to admire your thinking Hermione, yeah there is no way we could carry all that shit everywhere, but we don't really need all of it, so let's just take all the stuff we need, actually, our brooms might come in handy, but I thought we couldn't bring them because they are so big, would the charm work on them?" Said Harry, Hermione nodded.

"Can you remember the charm?" She nodded again,

"Good, so once they're small and light, how do we get them bigger again?" Harry queried, once again Hermione resighted what it said in the book,

"Once the object had decreased in weight and size and placed into a bag or box, it will return to its original state when pulled out,"

"Good," said Harry nodding, it would also be useful to take weapons, and magic, we could ask Fred and George for some instant darkness power and everything," Ron nodded,

"They would give it to you free any day! Me on the other hand I have to pay, I mean, I'm their brother for god sakes! I should get some things free an-"

"Ron you are getting of subject," said Hermione shaking her head,

"Harry," began Hermione timidly,

"We aren't going to be able to do this all by ourselves you know, we will need help,"

"Like who?"

"Well, people from the order for one," she said, Harry sighed, it was true there was no way only 4 teenagers could defeat Voldemort for good,

"I'll think about it," he said,

"I'm starving," muttered Ron, Hermione rolled her eyes,

"You are always hungry,"

"Well, there is nothing stopping us getting food, I'm pretty sure Hermione scared Vernon enough so… sure why not," said Harry shrugging, and they left his room,

Harry was trying as hard as he could to not make everything doom and gloom, he wished he had Dumbledore to talk to, but wishing it wouldn't make it happen. Inside Harry was full of dread, of what is going to happen, he just wanted Voldemort and Snape dead.

"Err, Harry?" Said Ron behind him, Harry hadn't realised he had stopped in the middle of the stairs and totally zoned out,

"Oh, ah, sorry," and Harry kept on walking, Ron and Hermione exchanged confused glances, but said nothing and kept on walking.

Harry entered the kitchen, followed by Ron and Hermione, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia were sitting at the table, Vernon was reading the paper and Petunia was drinking tea, when Harry, Ron and Hermione entered, Petunia looked at her tea as if she had suddenly lost her appetite and put it down on the saucer, untouched. Vernon looked over his paper, and was about to say something, but when he spotted Hermione, he just grunted and disappeared behind his paper, mumbling curses under his breath.

Harry wasn't sure how to do this, he had never been able to eat food whenever he wanted, he was about to ask if he could have something when Petunia said,

"Hello, Harry, and Harry's friends I don't believe we have been introduced," she said looking at Harry with a smile,

"Ok…" said Harry looking puzzled, Vernon looked over Petunia as if she had turned mad,

"This is Ron," Harry said, Ron smiled and shook Petunia's hand,

"Nice to meet you" She said,

"And this is Hermione, you met just before," Harry continued, Petunia took Hermione's hand and whispered in her ear,

"My apologies for before, my husband has quite a temper when it comes to Harry,"

"That's fine," Hermione said confused,

"I suppose you are both starving, I was actually just about to make dinner, meat loaf ok?" she said walking to the kitchen.

"Yeah, that's… fine," said Harry,

"It'll be ready in 20 minutes, so you can come back then ok?" She said, turning around and tying an apron around herself,

"Ok, thanks Aunt Petunia," said Harry turning and leaving,

"Why didn't you tell us your aunt was so nice?" Said Ron behind Harry,

"She isn't usually this nice! That's why! I have no idea what's up, not that I mind being treated like an actual human," Harry said in an audible whisper,

"What do you want to do till dinner?" Said Ron,

"I think we should plan what we are going to do after we leave, how long are we staying?" She said glancing at Harry,

"No longer than a week," Harry replied climbing the stairs, they reached Harry's room and they all sat on Harry's bed, except for Hermione who sat on the floor and pulled her wand out of her back pocket,

"Harry, can you pass me something, like anything big that you wouldn't mind me doing spell work on?"

"What for?"

"I want to see if I can still do that spell I was talking about before," said Hermione, peering around the room,

"Like how big?" said Harry looking through his draws,

"I don't mind, um, just pass me the old socks over there," she said pointing to the top of his dresser,

"Ok, they are Dudley's so feel free," he said chucking her the ugly green socks, Hermione caught them,

"Thanks," she put them on the ground before her,

"Ok," she closed her eyes in concentration,

"I think the spell was, "Rentic Legisima," ok," she pointed her wand at the socks,

"Rentic Legisima!" She repeated, almost immediately the socks shrunk to the size of a 50c piece, and were much lighter, Hermione picked them up and weighed them in her hands,

"There!" She said, chucking them to Harry,

"Impressive," said Harry looking at the socks, and passing them to Ron,

"Wicked,"

"I thought it would be smaller," said Hermione with a sigh,

"If it was smaller, how on earth would we find it in the bag?" Said Harry

"I see your point," Hermione said with a sigh,

"Now do you have a bag or something?"

"Umm, I think there is a plastic bag in my draw," he said shuffling through the draw below the one he was previously looking in,

"Yep," he said pulling out a scrunched up blue plastic bag,

"Is that ok?" He said pulling out the creases and handing it to Hermione,

"Should be, this is only a test anyway, to see if I remember the spell correctly, I don't want to end up sending all our things to an ultimate universe or anything," she said shaking her head, she put the small socks into the bag, and tied a knot at the top, Hermione tapped the bag with her wand two times and muttered,

"Brillianoc," the bag gleamed white for a second then died away,

"Did it work?" Said Ron leaning forward,

"Well there is only one way to find out," she said and grabbed the small socks and pulled them out of the bag, almost immediately the socks went back to their original state, Hermione smiled in triumph,

"It worked alright, just one more test," and she put the socks back into the bag and they shrunk back to what they were before,

"Good, it worked!" She grinned, she tapped the socks and bag again, and said,

"Endo," and there was another shine of white light and the socks and plastic bag were back to normal, she handed them to Harry,

"There you go! So what are we going to bring?"

"Well necessities, obviously, food and water, money, a change of clothes, but we can't bring too much clothing, there are more important things. Our brooms, even if you hate flying Hermione, magic, some things from Fred and George's shop, and our wands and my invisibility cloak… obviously," Harry said counting them off on his fingers, Hermione and Ron nodded in agreement,

"Also Harry, what are we going to do with Pig, Hedwig and Crookshanks?" She said looking at Hedwig's cage where he was sleeping; his head under his wing, Pig was sitting looking tired, but wasn't sleeping.

"Well, we could send them to mum and dad, they won't mind," said Ron,

"Ok, we can also send a note, no that would be too risky… our letters can still be intercepted," said Hermione changing her mind,

"Well we can just send "Mum and Dad, take care of Pig, Hedwig and Crookshanks for us; don't ask questions," they can't really make much of that," suggested Ron,

"But if someone did intercept it then they will know we are up to something!" Said Hermione,

"Let's just apparate them over there," she said

"Oh I forgot, you don't have you're apparation licence yet Harry…" she said,

"Don't worry, you guys do it,"

"Hermione, you do it, I'll stay here!" Said Ron, Hermione rolled her eyes,

"Fine," and she walked off to Hedwig's cage where Pig and Hedwig were fast asleep, she closed the cage, and then walked over to Crookshanks who was sleeping under Harry's bed, she lifted him up then grabbed the cage where the owls were now stirring,

"Well see you in a bit!" She sighed, and there was a loud pop and she was gone,

"Oh she is going to get an ear full from mum," laughed Ron.
