When there was no reply she turned to Sirius, who was looking perplexed "Sirius, where are we? I'm serious Sirius, you better know where we are or I'll do severe damage to you."

When she saw that Harry and Sirius were trying not to laugh she scowled at them and turned away.

"Look Hermione, I'm sure there was just some kind of mistake…" Sirius started and then trailed off as four nasty looking wizards came out of the shadows, surrounding them and cutting their escape off.

"Shit," Harry swore, drawing his wand.

"Come on laddie, put yur wand down, we don' want no harm to com to ya's now do we? Especially not tha' pretty little lass ova there." One of the men said in a thick Scottish accent.

Sirius and Harry automatically moved in front of Hermione to protect her. Harry reluctantly lowered his wand.

"What do you want from us?" he asked harshly.

"Yur' money, yur lassie, and anything of use. That clear enough for ya lad?"

"You won't take Hermione or anything from us," Sirius said, taking his wand out, making the four men raise theirs threateningly.

Sirius grabbed Hermione and Harry's arms and tried to apparate. He looked utterly confused when it didn't work.

One of the men laughed, "You foreigners think we're so dumb, yur stupider than the lot of us put together. We put up anti-appartion wards."

Hermione was not just standing there while Harry and Sirius argued with them; she was looking around the alleyway in which they were situated.

She smiled, having figured out what to do. She slowly pulled her wand out and whispered "incendo." The old and weak gas pipe a little way from them exploded into a ball of flame.

Hermione ignoring the effects turned and stupefied the first to men. Sirius, getting over his surprise stupefied the last two.

Hermione heard a whimpering sound and went to look.

She found Harry lying behind a bin and whimpering and muttering things underneath his breath, she leaned closer to hear.

"Don't do it Ron… Hermione, think of what Hermione would say… Ron listen to me, we've warned them… you can't stop it… Ron no!" Hermione jumped back as if stung.

What had happened that night? Where did Ron go?

She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Sirius with his eyes filled with tears looking down at his godson.

"he never did anything," he said, his voice heavy with emotion, "he never wanted anything but his family to be safe. To be happy, but the only things he ever got was us. An ex-convict and only one person his own age. Everone else left him, even I left him. How is he going to survive?"

Hermione shook her head, she couldn't answer.

Hermione sank to her knees and gently shook harry by his shoulders, "harry, harry, it's alright, your safe now. Harry, HARRY!" she shouted, falling back as harry sat bolt upright, with tears running down his face.

"Why did they do it? Why?" he shouted, and then promptly fainted.

Hermione looked at Sirius who was bending down to pick harry up off the floor.

"come on," he said sadly, "we'd better go home."

They walked out of the alleyway and apparated.

"I guess we won't be going on holiday quite yet huh?" Hermione asked when Sirius had come back from putting Harry in his bed.

"no, but maybe you should organize it this time," Sirius said sheepishly.

Hemione smiled at that "well, where will we go? Do you have anywhere you want to go?"

Sirius shook his head, "I never really thought about it. I definitely want it be warm, because I hate being cold."

"okay, um what about Australia? It's warm and I've always wanted to go there." Hermione said.

Sirius nodded slowly, thinking about it, "Australia would be good, I heard that there are a lot of hot chicks over there."

Hermione looked scandalized, "Sirius, that's sexist, and it's stupid, you can't judge wether someone is hot or not by their nationality."

He shrugged, trying not to think about how cute she looked when she was angry. The only reason he had made the comment was because he didn't want her to realise that he had been staring at her for the last two minutes.

They spent the rest of the day waiting for Harry to wake up, when he did he walked in with a rolled up newspaper and started whacking Sirius over the head with it.

Hermione laughed along with Harry as Sirius cowered behind a pillow, but inside she was worried about what Harry had said and done.

I'm going to figure out what happened, she decided, and I'm not going to stop until Harry's better.

A/n well what do you think? Also I forgot to mention but I dedicated chapter 2 to Slytherin-Lycan because they were my first reviewer. Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

A/n2 sorry for taking so long to submit the chapter! My usb went missing, (resulting in me having a panic attack) and I didn't find it till a couple of minutes ago.
