Chapter 10

Hermione woke up before the sun came out the next morning. She showered, pulled her back, and dressed in her Muggle clothes. After dressing she left to find Harry in the common room. Harry was already there, sitting on a couch. Seeing Hermione enter the room, he quickly stood up, greeting her with a kiss on the cheek. Hermione smiled, tightly hugging Harry, who was also dressed in Muggle clothes.

"I wonder if Dumbeldore ever got in touch with my parent's?", Hermione wondered outloud as the gtwo walked to the Great Hall hand in hand.

"I'm sure he did. I'm sure he got in contact with Luna's father also.", Harry commented back as him and Hermione walked into the Great Hall. Everybody trned, eyeing the two with curious eyes. I'm sure they wondered why they were dressed like they were. After eating, the two quickly disappreaed to Dumbeldore's office, waiting outside of it for him to arrive. Shortly, he appeared before them.

"Ah, I see we are all ready to go. I contacted your parents last night, Miss. Granger, and they are more than welcomed to house you for a few weeks Harry. Mr. Lovegood arrived early this morning to pick up his daughter. Everything will be alright now. I've alrewady arranged for both of your stuff to be sent as soon as you leave. McGonall will escort you to the train station. I just wanted to come and say good-bye to both of you.", Dumbeldore said as a small smile spread over his wrinkled face. The two teenagers thanked him and told him good-bye before he walked back off down the hallway.

"Already to go then are we?", a voice from behind the two called out. They both spun around to see McGonall walking up the hall towards them. Hermione nodded, and Harry called out "Yes" to her.

"Now, we are going to have disapparate to the train station. We will have to do this in the Great Hall, after I lift the spell. So, lets go one down there.", McGonall said as she began walking back towards teh Great Hall. Hermione and Harry quickly followed behind her.

The two showed up just as McGonall had finished saying somthing and pointing her wand towards the ceiling of the Great Hall. The Great Hall was empty now, other than McGonall and Hermione and Harry. She turned to see Hermione and Harry standing in the doorway, watching her. She beckoned for the two of them to come into the Great Hall, and quickly. Hermione and Harry ran to her, each taking one of McGonall's hands.

In just a minute the three were standing on the platform at the train station. McGonall handed each of them a little bit of money and a train ticket. The two accepted this, letting go of the woman's hands.

"Now, the train will be broading soon. Please hurry and get on. Do you know where to get off?", McGonall asked concerned.

"Yes, we do. Are my parent's going to be waiting for us when we get there?", Hermione asked her. McGonall nodded, then shooed the two onto the waiting train. She stood on the platform, waiting for the train to leave before she returned to Hogwarts.

Hermione and Harry found their seats and pressed their faces close to the train window. They could see the figure of the elderly McGonall standing alone on the platform. She raised her hand, wavng to Hermione and Harry. They both waved back as the train chugged away from the station.

"Oh, I hope they aren't too harsh on Ron. I mean, they wouldn't banish him would they?", Hermione asked as she slumped back into her seat.

"Hermione, he tried to rape you! Not to say that he was awful to poor Luna. I don't think they will banish him or anything. Perhaps banish him from Hogwarts. I highly doubt from the magic world though.", Harry answered, as he slipped his hand into Hermione's.

Hermione nodded, resting her head on Harry's shoulder. "I guess your right. I'm pretty tired. I'm going to rest. Wake me when we get there?"

"Of course I will", Harry replied, running his fingers through her tangled brown hair. Harry turned to look out the window. He could see hills and feilds passing by and he knew he was getting further and further away from Hogwarts.
