Chapter Two
The Dentist
"Hermione this is Upper Whinging. We went a total of two kilometers south of the Dursley's. Why didn't you ever tell me you lived in the next town?" Harry asked quickly.
"How do you know where we are?" Hermione asked turning around at the door.
"The Dursley's took Dudley here. I was examined here once too but I can't believe that I never made the connection."
"Neither of us did I saw you that day I walked in after school."
"Hermione, did you walk home from school?" Harry asked
"Yes. I did for a matter of fact. Why?"
"Dudley and I went to the school two blocks away from here. The Dursley's sent us here since this was the school that would help Dudley get into Smelting's; I was just along for the ride." Harry said but before Hermione could respond there was an exclamation.
"Hermione, you know better than to stand outside the office door." Said a voice from behind Hermione.
"Dad." Hermione said turning around. "I was just coming in."
"Well, come in as well as your friends, dear." Mr. Granger announced to Harry and the others. Upon entering the office Harry saw patience of many ages as well as magazines to read. Mr. Granger was leading them into the back office that was full of files. "Um... Mr. Granger we really shouldn't be staying long. We have to get to the ministry." Harry said.
"Harry's right Hermione, Ron we'll meet you there." Ginny said this about to turn around.
"We won't stay long. I promise, so just hold on for a moment. Dad, where's mom?" Hermione asked.
"She'll be here in a moment I'm going to get her." Mr. Granger answered.
"Why dear?" A high female voice asked from the doorway and Mrs. Granger entered.
"Mom, since your both here I have a question for you both. When did the spell wear off?" Hermione asked looking from her mother to her father.
"This may hurt but around August 3rd or so. However, because we knew you, we decided to play along until school started then we came back to the house with an owl."
"How did you get an owl?" Ginny asked.
"Well we found the Australian Diagon Ally. We went into the pub that protected it and asked the bartender to let us into the ally. Of course, he asked why we couldn't do it ourselves and we told him the truth, so he let us through and we headed to the bank. We got the money exchanged and bought the owl and we named her 'Scarlet'."
"You found out that much in the course of a month." Ginny exclaimed.
"It wasn't hard. We just thought that Diagon Ally is in the capitol here in Britain so then it should be in the capitol in Australia." Mr. Granger said.
Harry look down at the old watch that had once been Fabian Prewett's they would have to get going, "Hermione." Was all he needed to say as she was already saying good bye to her parents with a promise that she would write the day that they went to Diagon Ally. The four left the office quickly and went into the ally on the side of the building to disapperate. They apparated outside the visitor entrance looked at one another and Harry entered the phone booth and dialed 62442 (or magic).
