So being in college has given me very valuable insight into many different things. One thing that stands out for your sake is the difficulty of writing while doing well. This is why this chapter has been so long in coming. I promise you this, having about a month off, there will be much written.

""""""""

While Jamie got rid of his Cascada buzz, Hermione drilled Ron with questions. "How did you find us? We had so many protective spells set up yet you found us." Her eyes bored into his, making him uncomfortable.

"You remember the Deluminator that Dumbledore gave me. Well, after I got over being angry I realized that leaving wasn't one of my smarter moves." He gave a look to Hermione, hoping that admitting his fault would impress her. Her face remained stonily impassive. "I had no idea where to look. Eventually, on Christmas morning, I got up really early. It was so silent that I turned on the radio but I heard, erm.." He stopped, looking awkwardly toward Hermione. "I heard your voice coming from my pants pocket. Your voice was coming from the put outer." Her face still looked stoney, yet one eyebrow was raised. "Yeah well it sounds weird. I could hear your conversations and heard where you were staying. Eventually I began finding you both but you'd hear me and get scared off. It wasn't until tonight that I actually got in contact with Harry." He was still staring deeply into Hermione's impassive eyes.

Andrew giggled, "You both make such a cute couple, now kiss and make up." The MCers looked at Ron and Hermione expectantly, who quickly moved away from each other.

Ben went up to Ron and whispered something in his ear, causing his already red face to turn even darker. "Ron, what'd he tell you?" Harry asked, trying to keep himself from grinning.

"Er, nothing, you know." Yet, Harry obviously didn't "know" which set Ron off blathering, trying to explain to Harry that he should have an inkling to knowing. This all caused Hermione's eyes to raise and the Caster's faces to turn red, not from embarrassment, from trying to contain their laughter.

"Maybe we should go to bed, everything always seems better in the morning." Harry told everyone matter-of-factly. This set everyone into getting ready to sleep.

Blankets were found for the Casters inside of a trunk at the foot of one of the beds along with pillows, magically flattened. This was truly a sight for fangirls, Eric, Jamie, Andrew, Mikey and Ben, all snuggled up for the night. Clearly, the trio couldn't care less because everyone was asleep with in minutes.

The next day, the Casters slept late, allowing for Ron and Hermione to fight some more and for Harry to try to keep them at bay. When they finally woke up it was because someone had just come into the tent, it was Harry. "Hey guys, we're going to leave here and find someone that can help us figure out what this rune is."

"Sounds good, you know it's a pity that we're living the late 90's else we'd do a podcast, the spoilers for book seven are just flying at us. I'm curious though Harry, do you have a piece of paper?" Harry nodded and went over to a bedside table, pulling out a scrap of parchment and a quill. "I have something I want to show you, it's something we've been discussing lately." He started to draw a circle on the parchment, followed by a triangle and a line. "You have to tell me, does this have to do with the book? Or is this just some strange symbol?"

"So you're muggles and you do some talk show, yet you know things that even I don't know about, not only that but you've been discussing it!" Harry looked more perplexed when Andrew started dancing around the tent, jumping up and down and yelling- "I KNEW IT!!".

"Anyway, we're going to leave, now. So you have to get out of the tent." The Casters left and found Ron and Hermione standing outside, after Harry went out, him and Hermione set to work to get the tent back in the beaded purse.

Ron looked over to Hermione, clearly missing them being "friends" or even talking to each other. Ben was looking at Hermione in the same way, eventually, Ron looked away and turned to the Casters, noticing Ben's look. "Oy, what're you looking at!" He said in an undertone, making sure that Hermione couldn't hear.

Ben looked dreamily from her to Ron's angry face. "Oh, erm. Nothing, what were you looking at?" Noticing his expression, Ben went on. "That's what I thought, there's nothing for us to talk about then is there." Ron looked to him and tried to say something, yet was at a loss for words. Even if he had something to say, there would be no chance, the tent was packed up and put into the tent.

"So, where're we going?" Mikey asked, looking over to Hermione.

Hermione glanced over to Harry, "We're going to Xenophilius Lovegood's house." She was doing all she could to keep from looking at Harry's face, which was set in a grimace.

"The only reason we're going is because Ron feels the need to agree with everything she says." He said, non-to-quietly.

The MuggleCasters smiled. "So, how're we getting there then?" Jamie wondered.

"Well, we have to apparate, so everyone has to hold hands, tightly."

Jamie turned to his fellow Casters. "Andrew," he said in his best representation of a young girl. "Will you hold hands with meeeee?" They took hands and everyone else joined hands together, with Eric muttering something along the lines of "Jamdrew" under his breath.

All of a sudden, they felt a pull and landed in the hilly landscape outlying the Ottery St. Catchpole village. Jamie started to groan, "I'll never eat a BigMac again." The Casters giggled, "It was your fault that you had to eat them" Andrew countered.

Looking around, the Burrow was in the background. "This is crazy, being so close to what we've only read about before." Ben said, with his fellows nodding and the trio again being confused.

"Anyway guys, I think we should look for this house. And I have a great song to sing, Jamie will you join me?" The trio rolled their eyes and walked ahead with Andrew and Jamie skipping behind them.

"Over the river and through the woods to Xenophilius's house we go! The Weasley knows the way to carry the beaded bag through the white and drifting snooooow OH!" They then began to pick up snow, ball it up and throw them at each other and everyone else.

"Over the hills, and through the grass to Xeno's house we go, Ron knows the way, Oh yes! Hey hey! Through the white and british snow, Oh!" Andrew jammed out, leaving time for the others to throw snowballs at him.

"Look at that house over there, it's shaped like a rook, who but a crazy wizard would build a house like that?" He gazed in wonderment at it, Hermione gazed at the house, "That's not shaped like a raven, it looks like a huge tower." Ron looked at her, shaking his head. "Hermione, it's a rook, as in a castle, in chess?" She looked away, not wanting to prove she was wrong.

"Anyway guys, let's go."
