A couple days passed on with nothing different. Hermione kept studing or reading books as think as Neville's arm ( she called it light reading ), Ron was helping Errol get through a windown half open without hitting the glass, Ginny and Luna were always playing somekind of card game but the cards, who had the pictures of wizards and witches instead of nubers, kept telling them what to play, Neville seemed quite tired lately and would stay in a locked room for the whole day making strange noises. As for Harry, he just kept watching the others doing their stuff and did his homework that was given to him to do over the summer.

The adults also were very busy. Mrs. Weasley and Tonks wer cleaning non-stoppingly the house, by the time they were done with the last room the fist room they cleaned would be dirty again. Dumbledor would come and go from the house every two days, and when he eat with them he congratulated Mrs. Weasley's food all the time. Snape looked very busy too, when Harry was walking by his room he over heard Snape muttering " and is they they come in 2 seconds late it will be....10 points from Gryffindor, and for mixing the wrong things it will be 80 points from Gryffindor eh, eh, eh" Harry didn't want to stay much longer to hear where this was getting, at this rate Snape would be taking 120 points from Gryffindor if they show up to class. Moody was always going to the Ministry of Magic everyday he said it was 'auror's bussines' then again, Moody was an ex-auror. The two new aurors kept dueling themselves just for the fun of it. Lupin in the other hand, was either sleeping on the couch or eating. He was very quiet which was not usual of him.

On day while Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville were doing their potions homework on the kitchen table when Lupin woke up, jumped to his feet and started shouting " I know! I know how! Jul! Bart! Come on! We have to get to the ministry and meet Alastor, Arthur, and Dumbledor there! You come too, Tonks. Molly, Serverus stay here, we might be really late!"

" Whats going on, professor?" asked Hermione. Lupin turned to her, his eyes were shining brightly and had a smile from ear to ear

" No one knows what's behind it! But I have an idea, all I need is alot of power" Lupin said it enthusiasticly. There were lots of footsteps coming down there stairs. Everyone that was not in the living room or kitchen was running down the stairs. All thouse who had their names called were grinning widely. The two aurors were like they were at their first lunch with Harry, Tonks looked like a female verions of them. "Jul go get Alastor, me and Tonks are getting Dumbledor, Bart go get Arthur. Everyone meet where Barty Crouch, the son, had his hearing before going to Azkaban". Everbody nodded and with a choir-like shout all the wizards summoned said "Disaparrate".

Days, probably a week now, passed and no news from any of the wizards and witches who left that night. Mrs. Weasley was growing inpacient, she always was looking out the window and trying to find something to do, Ron was almost like his mother only difference was that he trying to sleep instead of trying to find something to do. Hermione was calming herself by saying " They are all powerful wizards, they are alright", Neville looked as worried as the two girls who kept playing cards, more often now. Snape looked calmer then ever, he was the 'man of the house' now and was bossing everyone he almost took off Gryffindor points because Harry hadn't finished all his homework, but Harry reminded him that they weren't at school yet.

The nights passed as slow as the mornings, and Harry couldn't stand one more day worrying about his 'mates', as Moody called them. So one afternoon when Harry was in his room with Ron he bursted out:

" Know what, Ron? I'm going to the Ministry and see what all that fuss was all about. We are part of the Order, we are suppose to know whats going on"-Ron looked like he had been hit by a stun spell. " C'mon, your mum won't even notice we are gone. We can bring Hermione too."

" I dunno about it, Harry. It's Neville's birthday and I didn't even get him a present." Ron said with a strange look on his face.

" Perfect, we go to the Ministry you get Neville a present and I'll find out what they are doing for over a week"

" Alright, Harry, but how we getting there?"

" We are going CRACK then CRACK. Let's go get Hermione" said Harry grinning mischeviousley.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

CRACK. A loud noise filled the room of the Ministry of Mysteries. All three remembered the first room very well from last year. They walked out of the room and luckly there was no one in sight, exept a blind wizard and his guide dog.

" Ok Harry, you go ahead and find those guy with Hermione while I go buy Nevillle a present." Said Ron as he left the elevator at the top floor.

" Alright, Ron, but be careful we don't have any visitors badges." Hermione warned him.

The elevator's door closed and it started going down. It was an almost quiet trip, Hermione's hard breathing was the only sound she made some sounds with her mouth as she was about to say something but when Harry turned his head to see what she had to say she would look down to the floor. She had been acting strange even at the house. Kept asking him personal question that she didn't let Ron ask: How was it that night with Cho? What was the kiss like? How was the kiss? She even asked what he liked on a girl but then ran down the stair to finish her homework before Harry could even think of an answer. She also spent alot of time with Ron and Ginny.

(A/N: Us boys are really naive when it comes to that, it happend to me a couple of times)

As they approched the bottom floor, Hermione was standing right in front of the door with her head lowered ready to get out as soon as the door opened. Harry,on the other hand, was starting to worry less about his fellow co-workers and worryinng more about Hermione, she was really strange.

"Hermione" Harry called her, she turned around with a jump " anything going on? You've been strange ever since I came to Grimmauld's place."

"It's that – no – I – It's nothing, Harry" she said blushing looking at him at the top of her eyes " I've known you for almost six years, and I know a lot 'bout you expet your love life and your taste for girls"

" Why would you wanna know that?" Harry replied confused

The elevator arrived in the last floor, she didn't answer and ran quickly out the door. Harry also didn't insist on the subject any futher. Ron was on the last floor already.

" What took you guys so long?" asked Ron.

" We took the time elevator." Hermione said a little more cheerfully

" The what?" asked Harry

" Time elevator, Harry. People usually take it when they want to slow down or speed up time. And looks like both of you slowed time down. I looked all over this building and they are not here" Ron said. Soon after a spechless moment the three of them decided to stop the searches and head back to the house. They used the disapparate spell again to get back to Grimmauld's place once again Harry appeared in the kitchen. No one was there like when he first arrived exept there was loud cheering from upstairs this time. Harry run up the stair jumping two steps at a time. Everyone was standing in front of Harry's room.

"What's going on?" Harry said loudly but no one seemed to bother. All wizards and witchs where staring inside clapping and whistling. " Can anybody tell me what's in the?" Harry spotted Hermione clapping too. He started shouting her name but she wouldn't turn around then, in dispair, he pulled her hair she gave a loud scream turned around furiously to Harry.

" Harry, Harry, look who's here!" she told him happily, apparently she forgot that he pulled on her hair. Hermione steped aside and Harry could see two people in the middle of the room hugging Neville.

" But, they're – they're –"
