Harry walked into the bedroom where Ron and Hermione were and was instantly set upon by Hermione. "Harry! Ron, he's here, Harry's here! We didn't hear you arrive! Oh, how are you? Are you all right? Have you been furious with us? I bet you have, I know our letters were useless—but we couldn't tell you anything, Dumbledore made us swear we wouldn't, oh, we've got so much to tell you, and you've got to tell us—the Dementors! When we heard—and that Ministry hearing—it's just outrageous! Erin's been climbing the walls! I've looked it all up, they simply can't expel you, they just can't!
"Let him breathe, Hermione," said Ron closing the door behind Harry. A moment later Hedwig had flown down from her perch. "She's been in a right state, pecking us half to death!"
"Where's Erin?"
"We wanted to give you answers," Ron assured him ignoring his question. "Hermione was going spare! She kept saying you'd do something stupid if you were stuck all on your own without news."
"Where's Erin?"
"Dumbledore seemed to think it was best." Hermione told him.
"I think he thought you were safest with the Muggles—" Ron continued.
"Yeah?" Harry asked angrily. "Have either of you been attacked by Dementors this summer? You haven't told me anything! I just thought I was alone!"
"Harry, we wanted to!" Hermione said anxiously.
"I've had to stay with the Dursley's while you two get to be in on everything! I haven't received one letter from Erin! Not one! How come you're allowed to know everything that's going on—?"
"We're not!" Ron said. "Sirius has been telling Erin, and that's why you haven't received any letters! Dumbledore won't allow her to write to you! We haven't been in on the meetings—"
"SO YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN ON THE MEETINGS, BIG DEAL! YOU'VE STILL BEEN HERE, HAVEN'T YOU? YOU'VE STILL BEEN TOGETHER! ME, I'VE BEEN STUCK AT THE DURSLEYS' FOR A MONTH! AND I'VE HANDLED MORE THAN YOU TWO'VE EVER MANAGED AND DUMBLEDORE KNOWS IT!"
Every bitter and resentful thought that Harry had had in the past month was pouring out of him. His frustration at the lack of news, the hurt that had all been together without him, Erin not writing him…He carried on in that vein for a solid 10 minutes. Ron and Hermione were trying to calm him down and explain, but he didn't seem to want it explained.
"Now, every time I ask where Erin is you don't answer! What, is she off somewhere snogging with Fred and George?"
A second later Fred and George were in the room with them and they did not look happy. They both started talking at once telling him that was uncalled for and Erin didn't need him to be making such horrible accusations against her. That she was going through enough right now without him adding to it more.
"WHAT IS GOING ON??" He bellowed.
There was silence and then Hermione said softly. "She had a dream the other night and she says the You-Know-Who is coming for her because of some prophecy that she's going to bear him a son."
"Where is she?" He demanded.
"She's in her room. She hasn't set foot out of it since the meeting we had last night. Full Order and all of us too. Dumbledore said that if he manages to get here they'll hold him off while we get her out of here."
He was gone a moment later when they told her where her room was. And a few moments later he had her in his arms holding on tightly. She was sobbing against his shoulder apologizing for no letters. He shushed her and just told her it was all right that he was just glad that she was all right.
