Once home Harry and Mione tried their hardest to get up the stairs to Harry's room without being noticed. Unfortunately, they failed miserably.
"Where have you two been?" Mr. Granger asked in a monotonous and annoyed voice. Mrs. Granger appeared seconds earlier on his right with a look on her face that suggested that her being there was the worst thing that could happen to them.
"Diagon Alley with Ron and Ginny." Mione replied a little too fast. Harry, looking over noticed that Mione must not be in the habit of lying to her parents because it was clear to him that she was hiding something. Unfortunately it was clear to her parents too.
"Before that." Mrs. Granger said sternly daring her daughter to lye to her again.
"Shopping." Mione said defeated.
"She said before Diagon Alley." Mr. Granger chimed in.
"It wasn't Diagon Alley... it was Muggle London. Harry needed some new clothes and-"
"MUGGLE LONDON?!?" Mrs. Granger was, by the look on her face, mortified. "Haven't we told you you can not and we mean not under any circumstances go to London alone?"
"Harry was with me." Mione said quietly.
"Well... that is a bit different." Mrs. Granger seemed to be thinking extremely hard. "You still should have asked permission." She looked them both up and down. "You may not leave the house for the rest of the day. However, Harry and you may do as you please inside the house."
"Thanks mum." Mione seemed very relieved. Harry followed Mione up the stairs turning and giving the Grangers a smile before rounding the corner.
