Chapter 2: The Leaky Cauldron That night at The Leaky Cauldron "Table of 9, right?" "No, not tonight we have Harry and Hermione with us." answered Mrs. Weasley. "9 is the maximum per table" "Harry?" "Yes, Mrs. Weasley?" "Can you and Hermione handle yourselves?" asked Mrs. Weasley. "Yes, I think so." they both said with a blush. "Harry and Hermione sat down at their table and ordered a couple of butter beers. While they waited, Harry stared into Hermione's light brown eyes and she stared back into his green eyes. "I-I n-never noticed how b-beautiful your eyes are, Hermione." Harry stuttered "You're so sweet, Harry. I've always thought so." Hermione admitted. Their faces drew closer to each other's, and just about when their lips were about to meet.... "Here are your butter beers." Harry wanted to say,"Oh, what IS wrong with you!?" but he resisted the urge. "Thank you." However, the peace did no last for long because all the lights in The Leaky Cauldron went black.

"Lumos!" Harry looked around to see if a spell might have done it. He couldn't see anything at first but then he saw it. The shady figure of Peter Pettigrew became very clear. "YOU! STOP!!" yelled Harry. When Peter noticed he had been seen, he transformed into his rat form and ran off. Harry thought, "Why was Pettigrew here? If Peter is here, then Voldemort must be nearby!
