Chapter (2)
HPOV
Great. Just when we needed Hermione the most, she had to go and disappear. I sighed, things couldn't get worse. But it did.
After rushing over to Ginny and the others, I told them my part of the story. Ron was looking anxiously around the station and I couldn't blame him. His wife had vanished when she was here with us a few minutes ago. It was just natural that he was worried.
There was silence between us for a while until Lily said, "Can we go home, Dad? This place is really creepy…"
Ginny looked at me expectantly and I said, "Yes, darling. Mummy will go with you while I'll stay here with Uncle Ron, alright? You two will be safe at home." This time, Ginny didn't protest and with a small peck on my cheek, she held Lily's hand and marched through the magical barrier. I watched them go with a sinking feeling. But I turned back to Ron who was staring into space with a worried look pasted on his face. A knot formed in my stomach. I wasn't very good at comforting people, but I tried my bad comforting skills on Ron anyway.
"Come on Ron… standing is not going to help us find Hermione, right?" I said, thinking to myself, "You call this comforting? Sounds more like advising!"
Ron shrugged and snapped out of his daydream. "You're right. Standing here is no use. We have to find Hermione. Come on!" Good old Ron…
We walked around the station twice but there was no sign of Hermione. Ron was starting to look worried again and turned to me saying, "What if they took her? But you defeated You-Know-Who-"
"Ron, I did defeat him. He's gone. Why do you still call him You-Know-Who?"
Ron ignored my question and continued, "He can't have taken her… unless…" Ron looked up at me, horror upon his face. "Unless, there are still dark forces around!"
"That's what I've been thinking too, but how can it be?" I said, getting frustrated.
"I dunno."
"Listen, I got a plan. I've met this man while I was out on one of my Death Eater hunts. He grew up with Dumbledore, went to Hogwarts and even talked to Dumbledore just before he died! I think that he may know something about this, then."
Ron rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Where does he stay?"
"Er…"
"You don't know?"
"Well, yeah…" I mumbled. Seeing Ron's face fall, I added, "I met him outside his house at that time. He might still be living there. And hopefully he's not dead yet."
"Okay then. Let's go!"
We walked through the barrier and found ourselves back in Platform 9. I jogged to my car and grabbed two broomsticks from the boot.
"We're flying?" Ron asked incredulously. "But there are Muggles around, Harry!"
"It's the fastest way to get there." I reminded him.
Ron grumbled a bit before snatching the broomstick out of my hand. He mounted it and said, "I'll follow you. And make sure you don't do those crazy stunts you always do!"
I winked at him before mounting my broomstick and kicking off into the air.
It felt great to be flying again. I slowed down a little and shouted to Ron, "Hey! Want to see the latest trick I learned?"
I swore I saw Ron roll his eyes. "Nooooooo…" I heard him groan. "You know it makes me feel sick just watching people in the news twirl around on their broomsticks!"
Chuckling, I stood on my broomstick even though we were about 1,353 feet in the air. I stretched my hands out to balance myself and yelled, "Watch this!" I did a loop-de-loop while standing on my broomstick.
I sat back down and sneaked a look at Ron. He was glaring at me and his face was all green. He looked as though he were going to vomit out on me. Suddenly, his cheeks bloated up and he opened his mouth to vomit most of his lunch. It fell straight down.
