((Yes, I'm finally updating! Tellie will be proud of me! Sorry if this chapter jumps around a lot, or if it's kind of confusing... it's been a while since I last updated and I forgot exactly where I was going with this story. I tried to sum everything up in as short a chapter as I could, but the result is that it isn't as great as I'd like it to be. But at least it's an update, right? Anyway, I'll get on with the story; thank you's are at the bottom. Enjoy!))

"Harry?!"

Harry heard his name being called and footsteps running towards him from a few feet a way as he clumsily got to his feet and looked around. It seemed as if he was in a sort of underground cave. It was dark and damp, and Harry could not understand why he was there, nor could he see any doorways to get out of it. He turned to Sirius and gave his godfather a questioning glance. Sirius simply shrugged and pointed in front of him to where Arthur Weasley was beckoning them over.

"Mr. Weasley?" He called, "Wha...?"

"Shh! Harry, there isn't time to explain. Through here, quick!"

Mr. Weasley led Harry over to a door on one side of the cave that, had he not been shown where it was, he would not have known it was there. He pushed it open and stood back to let Harry and Sirius through. Then he waved his hand around the cave and it sort of twinkled, before going black again.

As soon as Harry stepped through the door, he was greeted both by a cry of, "Harry!" and a tight hug through a great deal of bushy hair, nearly smothering him. After several seconds, he was able to breathe again, and looked around the room. He was in a brightly lighted little room that contrasted greatly with the cave he had just left. There stood his two best friends, Hermione and Ron, a very worried looking Mrs. Weasley, and oddly enough, his old Defense against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin. They were all silent for a second, staring avidly at Harry, before he broke the silence with a long awaited question.

"Erm, could someone please explain?" He asked, trying his best to be polite through his anxiouls inquiry.

Everyone jumped in to answer; however, it was Mr. Weasley's voice that cut trough the others, silencing them.

"The burrow isn't exactly safe anymore," He said slowly, "You see, Voldemort knows you were scheduled to come, so he is keeping a watch on the house. Dumbledore knows this, of course, and arranged for us all to come here for a little while." Seeing Harry's bewildered face, he paused, and added, "This is an unplottable cave, Harry. And In addition to that, Dumbledore has put a spell on it, so that no one, and I mean no one, can enter it once you did. Your entrance, along with a handy spell that Dumbledore showed me, has sealed it shut. We can only exit it now."

"However, in the rare occasion that someone was able to enter it, He added, taking a breath, "Dumbledore added on this room, with the door only accessible to those who know where it is. Very clever, you see? Basically, even if Voldemort discovers where you are hiding, the chances of him actually finding you are very slim." Mr. Weasley smiled at Harry, who looked completely bewildered.

"It's so great to see you again, Harry!" Hermione burst out, while Ron nodded. "It may be small in here, but at least it's safe." She added, as though reading his mind.

"But how are we going to get to Hogwarts?" Harry asked, thinking of nothing but his "home."

"We'll know when it is safe, Harry," Mr. Weasley answered matter of factly. When Harry continued to look disbelieving, he added, "Dumbledore has his own way of contacting us here. Believe me, he wants to get you to the safety of the school as soon as possible, before term even starts if need be. At this very moment, in fact, he is planning your trip there. We just need to wait it out a bit."

Harry shrugged, thinking longingly of that time when he would finally reach Hogwarts. He missed the castle more than anything, and could hardly wait to get back. His thoughts were interrupted, however, by a flash of scarlet and gold, a segment of a very familiar song to Harry, and a swish of feathers. Harry looked up to see a single scarlet feather floating down from the middle of the very small room, followed by a piece of parchment. Mr. Weasley hurried forward, snatched the parchment out of the air, and unfolded it. He read it for a second, and his eyes became narrowed in surprise.

"Erm, change in plans Harry...." He said slowly, handing the parchment to Harry.

Harry took it, understanding that his confusion was not over for the day. It read:

Harry,

I need to speak with you, Arthur knows what to do. The bird caught a worm and fed it to the babies.

Professor Dumbledore

Harry's eyes narrowed as he read the letter; however, they narrowed in confusion, not surprise. He reread the last part; The bird caught a worm and fed it to the babies. He had no idea what that meant, but figured it had something to do with the madness that was rumored to. He looked questioningly up at Mr. Weasley, who took the letter back from Harry and picked up his jacket, which was lying on the floor.

"Come on, Harry," He said shortly. "I'll send for you soon, you'll know when," He added simply to his wife. "Er, maybe Ron and Hermione should come as well." And with a hurried wave to Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, and Professor Lupin, the four of them exited the "hidden" door and walked out into the dark cave.

((I'm going to end it there for now, but I wanted to at least update something. Sorry if that chapter was confusing... next one will be better, I promise! And it won't be another 4 months from now, either!))
