Hey! I wanted to thank these people at the end of last chapter but it didn't fit… lol anyway,
thanks to nell, yea I'm working on it! Harriet, yes I'm trying to fix the abbreviation problem; I'm so used to ims that its different, I'm working on keeping my views straight I have people reading them now before I post so if I still do, I'm sorry!! Littleear Bigearsis: Thank-you so much! Yes, I'm defently working on getting more chapters out faster! you!! That means a lot, and yes I'm writing as fast as the ideas come into my head.
And of course once again to Lauren!! Because you check every bit of it and it helps having someone reviewing it all along!! Billybob 4 ever! O, and a note, if you make the font bigger the chapter looks bigger!! (lol)
I looked out over the coast, the sunset colors bringing warmth into the cool dusk air. Living in Britain there weren't many coasts that I had access to. Who would have thought that me, Hermione Granger, the cleverest witch in her class, would be standing on the northern California Pacific coast in these conditions? Its mind blowing just to think of it! Were we not sent here to protect us from the Dark side? Now one of my best friends are captured and in danger. Dumbledore never mentioned that along with being separated from my best friends, that also one of those two get kidnapped, where he was supposed to be safer than at home!
After the sun sank below the skyline, I decided I should go home. I made my way across the sandy beach now without difficulty. I remembered then how I had had trouble simply walking the first time I had visited the beach. I got to my small condo/apartment a few minutes later to find Hedwig still there. She had already delivered the message saying that Ron was kidnapped, and she had written back. Why was she there still?
" You can go girl, its Ok." I said to her. She just blinked, then lifted up her leg to see another note attached. I opened it curiously, wondering what Harry had forgotten to say, but it wasn't from Harry it was from someone she didn't know:
Hello! I'm sorry to interrupt your owl, but mine was to tired to do so at the moment and
I wanted to meet the new witch or wizard in my area!! I sent my owl as soon as she was
Better, so she should be there soon-
I looked up from the letter looking for the owl, down from my ceiling came an eagle owl. She had beautiful form and I stared in awe for the only other person I had seen with one was Draco Malfoy and I sure wasn't going to goggle at his owl!
I'm looking forward to meeting you! And welcome to the area!! Um… from me to you!
Alex
Wow, she thought I was a witch who had moved here, how sweet! I wrote her back immediately.
Hello! I would love to meet you, My name is Hermione Granger. I am in seventh- o never mind that I'll explain when you
Arrive. Tell your owl where your going she'll understand! Look forward to meeting you,
Hermione
With that part done, she tied the finished letter to the magnificent owl's leg and sent if off into the growing darkness. IN spite of herself she sighed excitedly and went off to make herself some food, she was half way to the kitchen however when a witch fell into her ceiling.

How have I allowed this to happen? Was what went through my mind a thousand times a day. Sending them there was not that obvious but how in the name of Merlin had he let himself think sending them across an ocean would stop the Dark side pursue them any less?
Although now what was done was done and there was nothing else to do but attempt a rescue. I now have to call the order, there were no other people I trusted with the job. The trouble was, keeping Harry safe without wanting to rescue his friend. He had the power, even I had to admit that to myself, he had proven himself numerous times, but this was bigger. Sending himself into the midst of so many Death Eaters including quite possibly Voldemort himself once again, was just plain suicide without help! The order, there was no other way, he would contact the Order of the Phoenix.
OOO! I love cliffhangers! I put it in Hermione's and Dumbledore's view for now, but end of next chapter I should go back to Harry. Who's Alex? And why would she fall through the ceiling? Sorry this was short, next chapter should be up soon!
