They spent two more days searching all over Sydney for Hermione's parents with no luck. It was exhausting and quite difficult searching all over and not always knowing where to go. Hermione had expected it would be difficult to find her parents and knew it could take a long time, but now that she was here, it was hard to remain patient and calm. She could tell that Ron was also starting to get frustrated, although he was doing his best to remain confident and happy. Even though it had only been three days, it felt like a week had passed since they had arrived in Sydney.

At the end of the third day, after they made camp at Prospect Nature Reserve, just outside of Sydney, Ron was lying in his bed while Hermione was sitting at the table studying the map of Australia, thinking about what their next move would be.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Ron asked Hermione. She turned to look at him and saw that he was now sitting up, looking at her waiting for an answer.

She sighed before answering. "I'm just thinking how stupid I was by not giving my parents a specific town to move to when they moved here. I was just concerned with making sure they forgot they had a daughter, changed their names, and made them want to move here and not once did I think that I should've told them to move to Sydney or Perth. It's not like I expected to come here and just run right into them but Australia is just such a big country and it took us a whole three days just to go through most of Sydney." Hermione threw her hands up in the air, full of frustration and anger at herself for not thinking this whole thing through. How could she have been so stupid to not have planned this whole thing better?

"Hermione it's okay. I'm not going to lie but yeah, this is hard. Much harder than I originally thought because I would've expected you to know where they are. But we will find them." Ron said encouragingly

Hermione just nodded at Ron, who went back to lying down on his bed. Hermione remained at the table, still trying to figure out where her parents would have gone when they came here. She racked her brain searching for anything her parents could have said to her about where they would go if they travelled or decided to move.

That was when the lightbulb clicked on for Hermione. "Of course, why didn't I think of that already?" She said out loud as she slapped her hand to her forehead.

Ron turned his head toward Hermione. "What?" He asked.

"I've been so stupid. My parents are dentists, and I may have erased myself from their memory and made them want to move to Australia but I didn't take away what they do for a living. They would most definitely continue their careers as dentists." Hermione said smiling at Ron.

However, Ron didn't quite get what Hermione was saying. "Okay…so?"

"We just need to get a phone book or directory that has the names of all the businesses around or even people's names and addresses and if I'm right, their names should be on there and that will tell us exactly where they are!" She said excitedly. "So even if we don't find the office where they work, we should be able to track them down by finding their names!"

"Brilliant Hermione. Now where do we go to find this directory?" Ron asked as he got off his bed and went to stand by Hermione.

"Well, we would probably have to go to a town hall to find it. We will have to do this for every city we travel through because there isn't just one directory for the whole country and even if there was, it would be a huge book considering it would have to hold over a million names in it."

"We should get moving then!" Ron said rather enthusiastically.

Hermione looked at Ron skeptically, wondering why he seemed to be in such a chipper mood all of a sudden. It's not as if they found her parents yet. They could still be weeks or possibly even months away. They had basically scoured through Sydney already and Hermione highly doubted that they would show up in the directory. But she did have some hope that they may have easily just missed them.

Hermione watched as Ron went over to his bed and grabbed his backpack off the floor and headed toward the entrance of the tent. He stopped right there and turned to look at her. "Are you coming? Let's go find this town hall." He said as he pointed his thumb towards the outside.

Hermione couldn't help herself and let a small grin show on her face as she moved to get up from the table. She thought Ron was just being really cute by how eager he was to get going. She knew that he was just being this way because it meant that their search might be over sooner rather than later but she pushed that thought to the back of her mind. She didn't want to think negatively right now about Ron's eagerness. She too was filled with hope that she will see her parents name in this directory.

She grabbed her beaded bag on the way and as soon as they were both out of the tent, she waved her wand and took it down and put it back into her bag. They didn't want to risk leaving it in case some other wizards came across it on their travels and took away the only place they had to stay, or if muggles found it, which would be even worse. She then called the map of Australia out of the bag and took a minute to study it before grabbing onto Ron and disapparating to Sydney's town hall.

"It's closed." Was the first thing Ron said as soon as they appeared in front of the town hall, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "Now what do we do?" he whined.

Hermione couldn't help the glare that she gave Ron. She was shooting daggers at him as she made her way to the door, and simply said "alohomora," her eyes, never breaking contact with his. The lock clicked and Hermione turned the knob and opened the door. She turned back around, hands on her hips, looking at Ron, whose face had gone bright red from embarrassment. As he started towards her, she could hear him muttering under his breath. She just shook her head as he headed inside. She just couldn't comprehend the fact that he didn't think that they could still get inside the building just because it was closed. They were wizards for crying out loud! This reminded Hermione of that time seven years ago, where her, Ron, and Harry were running away from Filch's cat in the third corridor and got stuck in front of a locked door. Both of them didn't know how to unlock the door and thought they would be caught when Hermione, pushed them both aside and unlocked the door with the spell that was in one of their spell books.

"Lumos." Said Ron and Hermione simultaneously to help them make their way through the hallway. The hallway was short and within a minute, they found themselves at a desk and luckily, sitting upon the desk was the directory. Ron took out his deluminator and clicked it, allowing light to fill the room, so that Hermione could read the directory more easily.

Hermione quickly flipped through the book until she got to the section that started with W. She had also changed her parent's names when she erased their memories so if Voldemort or his Death Eaters had tried to find her parents, the name change would help to deter them. She scanned through all the last names that started with WI and unfortunately, there were no Wilkins listed.

She turned to Ron and said "No luck. They aren't listed here so we will still have to move on."

"Okay, so we should just move on then. Where to?" Ron asked and Hermione could tell he was trying very hard to keep the annoyance and disappointment out of his voice. She couldn't blame him for being disappointed. She was also feeling the same. She was hoping they would get lucky.

"The next place I believe they would most likely live would be Melbourne. It will take probably all night to get there. It is pretty far from here so we can either stay in Sydney for the night or make our way to Melbourne. What do you want to do?"

Ron thought about it for a moment and decided it was best if they went back to set up camp again and take the night to rest up for tomorrow, since it would take all day to get to their next destination. Hermione agreed and they both apparated back to their original camp spot and got the tent up. Once they went inside, they both went right to bed.

Hermione was hoping for better luck in Melbourne. Now that they had more of an idea of the best way to find her parents, it meant shorter stops in each city, but also meant that they could end up travelling more often, which would be very psychically draining. It had already been exhausting traveling just through Sydney for the past three days, looking for her parents. The prospect of having to apparate long distances almost every other day would be physically taxing on the both of them. Hermione was determined though. She was not going to give up. She was going to find her parents and she had a positive feeling about Melbourne.
