Questions

The Great Hall was silent. The only noise that was heard was the whisper like whoosh the ghosts made as they passed through the Great Hall. Ron and Harry stared at each other while Hermione and Lavender stared straight a head with misty eyes.

"No, that can't be true. You are lying." Someone yelled out. Everyone giggled nervously. Dumbledore again stepped foreword on the platform.

"Have any of you ever known me to lie?" no one answered, as expected. Dumbledore continued. "We will spend the last week of school as we normally do. Now, please resume what you were doing before we called you in here." The teachers silently filed off the platform and went through a door in the wall that Harry didn't know existed. Professor McGonagall paused long enough to wave her wand at the doors, which opened right away.

No one knew what to do. No one moved. They all just stood there, some crying, some in complete bewilderment. Ron mouthed to Harry, "Meet me outside. We have to talk." Harry nodded back. After explaining to Lavender and Hermione where they were going to be for a bit, Harry and Ron pushed their way through the crowd and out of the door. The warm air engulfed them and eased them into a false sense of security. They walked down the lawn, almost all the way to Hagrid's hut.

"So, what did ya think is wrong?" Harry asked.

"Dad mentioned something about this at the start of the year, right after Christmas."

" Really?" Harry said confused. "What is this about?"

"Well, like Dumbledore said, a lot of muggle know about us. Too many. They think we're dangerous cause we do magic and stuff. They're mostly worried about the stuff they don't know about, which is everything about us, you know. And their sign-tists..."

"Scientists." Harry interrupted, correcting Ron's mistake.

"Yeah, what you said. Anyway, those sign peoples, they want to experiment on us and the animals, to see what sets us apart from them. It would be so horrible." Ron said shuddering.

"So what am I supposed to do? I am never going back to the Dursley's." Harry asked himself. Ron answered his question for him.

"What about Sirius? Or Hermione or me?" Ron whispered.

"Oh yeah! Ron, you're a genius!" Ron's face turned a lovely shade of tomato red at this comment.

"But." Harry started, his face looking worried. "Where are we supposed to live. The world isn't safe, right?"

"Sorry mate. I can't answer that. All I know is that the earth isn't safe, and we need some place to go. Wizzards curse us! Why is this happening?" Ron's out burst frightened Harry. Ron wasn't normally like that.

"Ron, we'd best be getting back to the tower. But I should send Sirius a letter." "Good idea, lets go." They walked silently, until they got up to the Owlery. Harry started to write his letter while Ron wandered around looking for Pig.

Dear Sirius, It's been a long time since I've last written hasn't it? Anyway, things are good here, the school term is out in four days. Oh and some really great news, I can finally leave the Dursley's forever. So, can I stay with you? Do you have room? If not, I can stay with Ron or Hermonie for the summer. But the real reason that I wrote is to ask if you have heard anything about the muggles knowing about us. Have you? What are we going to do? Please write as soon as you can. Harry

Harry folded the letter and handed it to Ron to read.

"Not bad." Ron remarked. "Although you did spell your girlfriend's name wrong."

"I did?" Harry asked looking up from stroking Hedwig.

"Yeah, you spelled it H-E-R-M-O-N-I-E. It's really spelled H-E-R-M-I- O-N-E."

"So curse me then. Geese, some people." Harry said to Hedwig. "Just don't understand that boy." Ron rolled his eyes.

"Come on then Harry. Her-mony and Lavender are waiting for us." Ron said chuckling as he ran from Harry.

"Just wait till I get my hands on you Weasley. Insulting Her-MY-oh- nee like that."

"Well, it was you that spelled her name wrong in the first place." Ron said to Harry as he tossed Hedwig out the window.

They both watched her fly off, her pale silhouette heading towards the moon. "He'll write back Harry. Has he ever let you down before?" Ron sounded concerned as he whispered this to Harry.

"I know that dolt. And that wasn't what I was thinking about." Harry was half lying.

"So what are you thinking about then?" Ron asked as they started back to the Gryffindor tower. Harry sighed. He wanted to tell Ron that he was worried sick. He was so scared about what was going to happen. No, he wasn't scared, he was terrified. He was so scared for Hermione, Ron, the whole Weasley family, Sirius, everyone he loved. It scared him that he couldn't do anything to stop what was happening. It was like living with an eternal winter. The cold seeps into your bones and it never goes away. But then, after winter, always come spring. The cold goes away. So maybe fear would do that too.

"Harry. Are you alright?" Ron look worried.

"Yeah, sorry. What did ya ask?"

"Harry, what's up? You can talk to me you know. That's why I'm your friend."

"Sorry. Its just that I don't now whats going to happen in the future. We are leaving Hogwarts forever in four days. Four days Ron, then we are on our own. No more banquets every day, no classes."

"Or Malfoy." Ron added as he stepped up to the Fat Lady.

"Horse feathers." The Fat Lady swung forward and they stepped through to an empty common room.

"Where is everyone? Its only 8:30 and its Friday night too." Ron asked Harry.

"Beats me. Lets look for the girls." Harry, of course, meant Lavender and Hermione. They walked up to the 7th year girl's dormitory, knocked on the heavy wooden doors. No answer.

"Ron, go in and see if they are in there."

"Yeah.hey no! What if they are changing in there or something?"

"Well, in that case, I'd better go."

"No Harry, let me." Ron said reaching for the doorknob.

"No, Ron, let me!"

"Let me!"

"Harry, my girlfriend lives in there. Let me!"

"Hey! My girlfriend lives in there too, let ME!" They fought over this quietly for a few more minutes until they bumped into the door, which opened, much to Ron and Harry's horror. They both covered their eyes, waiting for a shriek. Nothing happened. Ron and Harry peeked out through their fingers. No one was in there.

They walked into the room. Ron found Lavender's bed. Ron knew it was her bed because everything on the bed was a different shade of purple. He found a note addressed to him and Harry on her bed.

** Dear Ron and Harry, We knew that you would find this note. We didn't know where you two wandered off to, so we went to the meeting without you.**

"What meeting?" Harry interrupted.

"I don't know anymore than you do. So shut up and let me read the rest of the letter."

"Fine, fine. Please continue your Highness."

**We will explain the meeting to you when we get back. So you two don't need to wait up for us. We have no clue what time it will be when we get back, but we will tell you everything that Hermione writes down(she is taking notes on the meeting for everyone.) Love you both Lavender and Hermione

"How grand. They go off, without even inviting us to join them. Some girlfriends we have." Ron grumbled.

"Well, they did leave us a note." Harry reminded him. They walked back down to the common room and sat by the fire and fell asleep.

****************

The girls woke them up the next morning.

"Not yet mom. Just five more minutes." Ron said not quite awake yet.

"Ron, I am not your mother!" Lavender yelled in his ear.

"I'm up! I'm up!" Ron mumbled. Hermione was not having the luck that Lavender had. Every time she would gently tap Harry on the shoulder, he would just roll over and continue to sleep. Finally, a very frustrated Hermione took out her wand and whispered "Wingardum Leviosa." Harry rose, and drifted off the sofa and hovered about five inches above the floor and then Hermione removed the spell. Harry landed on the floor with a bang, which knocked him out of a very good dream.

"What the hell was that for?" He asked angrily.

"Well, you wouldn't get up. That was the only way that I thought of. And you sleeping kind of reminded me of Sleeping Beauty, only reversed." Hermione said.

"Why didn't you kiss me then, that worked in the story?" Harry whispered, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Well," she started, but was quickly silenced by Harry kissing her.

"Harry." Ron started to say something, but was shut up by Lavender jabbing him in the ribs with her elbow and pointed at Harry and Hermione, who were making out on the common room floor.

So, you have to tell me how I did for my second chapter. I can tell you that I might take a while to get to the "Fresh Start", when they find a new place to live, so don't expect this to end quickly. I have no clue how many chapters this is going to take, so be patient and enjoy! Princess Fiona
