"That can't be right I was standing in this office only this morning!" Harry mumbled as he stood in Dumbledore's office.
"We have all been very worried about you." Dumbledore softly said to the boy in front of him. Harry stood still waiting for the shock to wear off. When it did Harry looked up at the older man.
"How can it have been a week and a half I came into this office this morning to told you about my nightmare and I showed you my hand." Harry told him and looked down at his burnt hand; it was still red with the burn mark. "See." Harry showed him his hand.
Harry then told Dumbledore all that had happened to him. Dumbledore sat in silence as Harry told him about his meeting with the Griffin and the images he had seen in the plate. Harry stopped when a strange expression came over the headmaster's face when he told Dumbledore about Ron and Hermione's fate.
"Keep going Harry." The headmaster softly told him.
When Harry was done, he felt worn out like he had run a mile. All he wanted to do was go see his friends and tell then what had happened. Dumbledore however had different plans for him.
"Harry, I know you have been through a lot however there is one bit of news I need to tell you." Dumbledore told him. Harry sat up straighter in his chair dreading what he was going to be told. When Harry didn't say anything Dumbledore took that as a sign to go on.
"Severus came to me this morning and told me that Voldemort was moving this way and that his target was Ron and Hermione." Harry's heart was now on the floor. "Severus believed that you had been taken by Voldemort and that he needed your friends to sway your decision on some thing. He didn't know what that thing was. Harry we need to work quickly if the images you saw in the griffin's plate was true then Voldemort is coming."
Dumbledore quickly stood up and walked over to a cupboard and pulled out a wooden object; it just looked like a normal bit of bark to him. Dumbledore handed it over to him.
"This is a communication device and it also works as a portkey. There is only one problem with it though, it can only transfer a person to you not the other way around, but if you some how get transported to where Voldemort is you will not be able to use the portkey." Dumbledore lead him to the office door and then continued speaking. "I want you to go up to the Gryffindor common room and find Ron and Hermione, you have my permission to go up into the girls dorm.
"If you can't find them I want you to press your wand to the bit of wood and say your message, I'll hear you. I then want you to get to Hogsmeade and find then. I will find help then meet you there."
They now stood outside Dumbledore's rooms. Harry ran as fast as he could to the Gryiffidor tower. He just hoped that the password hadn't been changed. It took him ten minutes before he was standing in front of the portrait of the fat lady.
"Silly Sally." Harry said quickly, holding his breath. He let it out as the portrait swung open to let him in. He ran into the room, many people looked at him like he was ghost.
He couldn't see Ron or Hermione in the common room; his heart started to beat faster. He ran up to his and Ron's room, which they shared with some other boys. He opened the door and looked in only Neville was there.
"Neville have you seen Ron?" Harry hurriedly asked. Neville just stood there shocked.
"Neville tell me!" Harry was close to shouting.
"Hehe went w-with S-Snape s-somewhere." Neville stuttered tripping over his words, looking at Harry as if he expected him to jump at him. Harry's face went as white as the ghost that everyone thought he was.
