Where we left off: Ginny was locked in a room with Robert. He claims he needed information from her. Then, Harry, Ron, Draco, Neville, and Luna break into the room causing Robert to disappear. His last words were: "I have gathered all the information I have came to get."
*****
Ron immediately hugged his little sister saying how happy he was that she is okay.
"Oh, how sweet it's a family reunion," Draco replied coldly.
Ron ignored Draco's usual comments, by now he learned one thing; a Slytherin is incapable of change. Actually, Ron even had a notebook where he kept track of all Draco's nasty comments. He planned to show it to Hermione when she returned, proving that he is still the prat he was 6 years ago. Ron knew that Hermione made a mistake and knew the second she came back she would forget about Malfoy, maybe even admit what a mistake she made. The only reason Ron even agreed to let Draco help was so he could help find Hermione faster.
Ron closed his eyes and pictured just him and Harry beating Voldemort and fighting off the death eaters. Hermione would come over and hug them both. She would forget about that Draco Mafoy, insisting that Ron and Harry were right about him all along. Dumbledore would give awards to both Harry and Ron and they would we given awards to by the Minister of Magic for beating the Dark Lord. And…
"Ronetgofmeicanbreathe," Ginny yelled.
"What?" Ron said, coming out of his fantasies.
"You're chocking her. She escapes from a dangerous man without a scratch and you come along chocking her… just what big brothers are for," Draco said with the usual smirk plastered to his face.
Ron let go of his sister and tried to ignore the comments of Draco. But, even with out him saying anything everyone could tell how much Draco got to Ron. His face gave it away. Whenever Draco made comments (always nasty) to Ron concerning either his family, hair, money, or anything about him, Ron's face would turn to a dark shade of pink and he would always clench his knuckles.
"Sorry Ginny I'm just glad your okay," Ron said, giving her a quick last squeeze.
"So Ginny what happened?" Neville asked, with a scared tone to his voice.
"Oh yes, we heard you being cursed about. How did you manage alone with that…," Luna began.
"I was fine. I found out some useful information too," Ginny said.
"Concerning Mione?" Harry asked.
"Yes!"
"Please grace us with your knowledge Miss. Weasly," Draco said.
"Hermione has escaped…,"Ginny began.
"How can you be certain?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, how in Merlins sake do you know?"
"Let her speak. How do you expect to find out of the tales of Ginny if you don't let her talk!" Luna said.
"Well, Robert said he came to gather information. The only thing I told him was that we hadn't seen her…"
"GINNY WEASLY, WHAT IN MERLINS SAKE CAME OVER YOU?" Draco screamed. "You don't give information to the enemy!"
"But… I just told him that we hadn't seen Hermione. That's all he wanted to know. If 'they' had Hermione they would know if we had seen her lately," Ginny replied quickly.
"Hermione ran away. All alone in the cold, by herself without food," Luna informed them.
"But she is safe," Draco concluded.
"Yes, she might be harmed though," Harry said with concern.
"But, she is away from the enemy…" Ginny started.
"For now," Ron said.
"They are going to keep a close watch on Hogwarts," Draco replied.
"This is interesting." Lunna said.
"What is?" Harry asked.
"Voldemort… or whoever has Hermione is acting through muggles." Luna said. "Robert and Henry both were muggles."
"Oh yes, Robert mentioned he was working for pay," Ginny said, "probably meaning muggle currency."
"So that's how he managed to disappear," Draco said.
"What?" Ron asked, clueless.
"You can't avapparate (sp?) on school grounds, Ron," Ginny explained.
"So how did Robert?" Ron asked.
"Ron your slow…he is a muggle…," Ginny explained slowly, as if she we talking to a 3-year-old.
"Exactly my point! Muggles can't avapparate (sp?)," Ron replied.
"So, that means that probably Voldemort was controlling him. He was under a spell. Voldemort brought him back," Draco explained.
"Meaning, Voldemort is getting stronger…which is bad," Harry said.
"His army!" Luna yelled looking lost and upset at the same time
"What now love goon? Draco asked.
"I must see Dumbledore at once… I'm sorry but… I have to go…"
"Luna wait!" Ginny said, running after Luna. Everyone followed Ginny.
"I'm sorry I can't say. Dumbledore said I shouldn't tell anyone but…oh I must speak with him," Lunna ranted.
"Luna calm yourself and tell us. Dumbledore would want us to know," Draco told her.
"Oh Dumbledore," Luna burst into tears.
"What is the meaning of this commotion," Dumbledore asked.
"Sir, we don't know what's wrong with her," Draco replied indicating Luna.
"To your common rooms… all of you. Ill take care of Luna."
"But Headmaster," Ginny began.
"Go to your common rooms. I don't expect to see you out of your beds again at this hour."
"Yes sir," They all muttered in unison.

"Why didn't he take off house points?" Harry asked the others as soon as Dumbledore left with the sobbing Luna.
"Why didn't we get in trouble?" Ron added.
"No detention," Neville announced happily.
"But…why?" Ginny asked. "He wasn't concerned about us… out at 4am!"
"Only… Luna."
"Poor sobbing Luna," Neville added.
"What did you say to trigger the tears," Draco asked Ginny.
"We were just talking about Muggles and Voldemort," Harry replied.
"She is just scared of the powerful Dark Lord," Draco said sarcastically.
"I have only heard Death Eaters call him that!" Ron announced.
"Call him what?" Ginny asked.
"The Dark Lord," Ron said.
"Ron, quit it!" Harry yelled.
"Yeah Ron, don't start." Draco mocked.
"She yelled his army…him meaning Voldemort," Ginny said.
"She also said Dumbledore said she couldn't tell anyone…," Neville added.
"She said she needed to see him," Ginny said.

"How long have your visions normally lasted?" Dumbledore asked Luna.
"Never this long…everything makes sense now…" Luna explained.
"Luna, your visions are normal for a person like you," Dumbledore said.
"What do you mean?"
"You are A Seer. As where your parents. Although you aren't trained you still are seeing visions from the future."
Luna remained silent.
"Now, what exactly did you see?"
"I saw Voldemort with a bunch of muggles training them. Voldemort has an army of Muggles."
"I see. About how many?"
"I couldn't really see…"
"An estimate?"
"50."
"Are your visions always correct?"
"Yes."
"Yes. In the past they always have been accurate. What made you have this vision Luna?"
"I was with Ginny, Draco, Ron, Harry and Neville…"
"Yes, I know what you were up too."
"Of course you do. Well Draco said that Voldemort was controlling muggles. And all my dreams came to me and it hit me that all those people were muggles. When I saw Robert with Ginny…you know about that right?"
"Yes."
"Well… I knew I recognized him. He was vaguely familiar. I couldn't figure out whom though. I just knew I saw him before."
"Do you know where from now, Luna?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, he was one in the army, from my dreams. Henry was their too."
"I see. You better get some sleep. The Order is working on it and you have been of great assistance."
"Anything to help," Luna said cheerfully.
"Oh and one more thing before you go. You can tell your 'group' you are A Seer."
"Yes Sir."

Chapter Summary: In this Chapter we find out Hermione has escaped. Also Luna is a Seer and can tell the future. She has visions that Voldemort is training muggles, like Robert and Henry, to do jobs for him. Ron, Harry, Ginny, Draco and Neville don't know Luna is a Seer yet, but Dumbledore gives her permission to tell them in the morning.
