"Harry!" Hermione screeched and ran to give him a hug. "It's so good
to see you!"
"You two," Harry said, a little more calm than Hermione. "Sorry I couldn't write to tell you that I would be here today. My ruddy aunt and uncle wouldn't allow me to let Hedwig out of her cage."
"It's alright," Hermione said. "We met up anyway."
"I have the greatest new Hermione," Harry said, his eyes brightening up considerably.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Follow me," Harry said.
He drug her through the mosh of people in the street of Diagon Alley and up to Gringotts. Just as they were about to go up the steep white marble steps, Sirius Black came out of the door.
"Sirius!?" Hermione asked in surprise and excitement.
"I am going to live with him now," Harry said proudly.
"Oh Harry that is terrific!" Hermione congratulated him with a hug.
"It is," Harry said.
"Hello Hermione," Sirius said coming up to the two friends.
"Hello Sirius," Hermione said. "I am so glad to see you again. Was Pettigrew caught?"
"Always on top of things you are Hermione," Sirius said. "But yes he was. So now Harry, Buckbeak, and I are looking at living arrangements out in the country, near Ron, I believe."
"I am so happy for you!" Hermione said, smiling. "Oh dear, I hate to do this, but I have to go. I am so sorry, my parents will be looking for me. Have a great summer and be sure to write."
"Of course," Harry said. "See you September first."
"You to," Hermione said, waving. "Bye Sirius."
Hermione started to walk through the throng of shoppers in the street. She had almost made it out when she bumped into a rack of schoolbags. Her bag slipped off her wrist and crashed to the ground. One of her inkbottles fell from the bag and began to roll away. She swept up the rest of her belongings and hurried after it and grabbed it quickly before it could go any further. She stood up and dusted off her robe. Looking at her surroundings it took no time at all to realize she had stumbled into Knockturn Alley. She began to hurry her pace a bit, trying to find the way out, when she ran into a hard object. She was pushed to the ground and her vision dizzied for a moment. When she could see clearly again she reached for the outstretched hand.
"Thank you," Hermione said to the person in front of her. She couldn't tell who it was; her eyes were still shut because of the stinging pain in her head.
"Here, come and sit," the person said. It was a man and he had a strong accent that Hermione had trouble distinguishing. For some reason though, instinct told her to resist. But her head was pounding and she needed to sit for a minute to regain her balance. Just as she was about to sit down, with eyes still clamped shut tightly, she heard the voice yell, loud and clearly, "Krum Estate!"

Harry and Sirius were on there way out of Diagon Alley and had just walked out of the Leaky Cauldren's door when they heard someone shout, "Harry!"
Both Harry and Sirius turned to see who had called out. It was Mrs. Granger. She came running hurriedly to him.
"Oh Harry dear, I was hoping Hermione was with you have you seen her?" Mrs. Granger said frantically.
"She isn't with us, but I was with her less than twenty minutes ago, she said she was coming out to meet you," Harry said.
"She hasn't come out yet, do you think she stopped somewhere?" Mrs. Granger asked.
Harry knew this wasn't possible. Hermione was always punctual. It wasn't like her to be late like this.
"I'll go back and look for her," Harry said, running quickly back into Diagon Alley.
As Harry checked every shop in and out he began to wonder what could have happened to her. Than a thought came to him. He ran into the Leaky Cauldren and caught up to Tom.
"Tom, has Viktor Krum possibly been through here today?" Harry asked a wild gleam in his eye.
"Interesting you would ask that Harry, actually he was, haven't seen him come back through though."
