Chapter 12 ~ Away From Hogwarts
That weekend came sooner than Harry, Ron and Hermione had anticipated. Before they knew it, they were heading to Hogsmeade, and away from Hogwarts for the day. The three piled into The Hogs Head, where they found a fireplace at the back of the bar.
'You first.' Hermione said shakily, offering the small bag of Floo Powder to Harry. He looked nervously at her, and then Ron, before taking a handful of the powder and stepping into the fireplace.
'Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place.' Harry said in a clear voice, before disappearing in a flash of green flames. Hermione looked at Ron.
'Ladies first.' Ron said. Hermione handed Ron the bag, taking a handful of powder. She, too, stepped into the fireplace.
'Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place.' Hermione said, and she, like Harry before her, disappeared in a flash of green flames.
'Hey you! Kid! What do you think you're doing? I could get in a heap of trouble for this!' The bartender yelled at Ron, and started to walk towards him. Ron looked at the man wide eyed, grabbed some Floo Powder, shoving the rest into his pocket, and jumped into the fireplace.
'Don't you dare kid!' The bartender yelled, now running at Ron. Ron threw the powder and yelled;
'Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place!' The last thing Ron heard was the bartender shouting;
'Damn kid!'
Ron tumbled out of the fireplace at number twelve Grimmauld Place. Harry and Hermione were looking around the dusty room. Ron scrambled up off the floor, not wanting to attract any creepy crawlies.
'Find anything yet?' Ron asked as he brushed the dust off his robes. 'What are we looking for again?'
'We haven't found anything yet Ron, and we're looking for two Billywigs and five Doxies.' Hermione replied.
'Oh, right.' Ron replied, coughing from the dust in the air.
The room was mostly dark, bar a small streak of light streaming in from a tiny, dust covered window at the top of the wall. There was a rickety wooden staircase leading to a large door.
'We're in the basement.' Harry observed.
There were a large amount of boxes, some cauldrons with thin bottoms and chips out of them. There were also a lot of magical artefacts such as a spy glass, and some broken equipment.
'Yep, definitely the basement.' Ron confirmed.
'I don't like the look of those stairs.' Hermione said, peering at the dodgy staircase. 'Reparo.' She said, pointing her wand at them. Nothing happened.
'They're not broken Hermione.' Harry said, walking to the staircase. He gave it a good kick. The stairs errupted into dust. The three of them stared.
'Where did the stairs go?' Ron asked.
'They evapourated.' Harry mused.
'Well I can't fix what's not there, now can I?' Hermione scoffed. 'Now what?' She sat down on a box. Ron and Harry wandered to the wall directly under the door they needed to get through.
'Give me a boost Ron.' Harry said. Ron boosed Harry to the small ledge which remained. Harry turned the knob and fell into the next room.
'Harry!' Ron called up.
'I'm okay.' Was the muffled response. Harry appeared at the opening.
'Hermione, come give me a hand.' Ron called to Hermione, but she had her own problems.
'Ahhhh!' Hermione screamed. 'Incendio!' She wavered her wand at a black creature, which burst into flames. Hermione backed away from the flaming creature, and knocked into Ron.
'Watch it Hermione.' Ron said, rubbing his chin where Hermione's head had rammed into.
'S-Sorry Ron.' Hermione shivered.
'What was that?' Harry asked from the floor above.
'Nothing I've ever seen before, and nothing I ever want to see again.' Hermione said, goosebumps trailing up her arms. They watched as the creature burst into ashes and fell to the floor in a clump.
'Here Hermione.' Ron boosted her up and Harry pulled her to the ground floor. Hermione and Harry reached down and pulled Ron up.
'Harry, next time you get a brilliant idea like that, don't damage our only way out.' Ron said as he brushed himself off.
