Chapter 11: Dementors escape
At eleven o'clock Page set up the spare bedroom for Hermione and Ginny, and made an extra bed for Ron to sleep in Harry's room. That morning, no one was up when Page came downstairs. She got some tea and crumpets, and waited until Ibid brought her the morning paper and letters. Page nearly choked when she saw the headline. "DEATH EATERS AT LARGE. ALL MAGICAL PERSONS SHOULD BE ON FULL ALERT!" Below showed a picture of Fudge and Percy, looking harassed as some security wizards where asking them questions. Hermione and Ginny came into the kitchen, and Page shoved the paper towards them, and then grabbed the letter that Ibid brought her and ripped it open.
"The Daily Prophet shouldn't have found out. Molly is coming for the girls and Ron round ten. We have got their Hogwarts letters. The meeting starts at nine, but Dumbledore thinks it's too risky for you to be here and leave Harry. I'll come over after the meeting has finished and fill you in with the details. Make sure that no one enters or leaves the house. See you soon. Remus".
Hermione and Ginny were talking fast, as they read the paper. Page got up and gave them some toast and brought out some jam. They were still nattering away to Harry and Ron when they came downstairs ten minutes later. Page caught bits of rambling's from their conversation. "But why come out now when he could of killed Harry then." "It seems weird to me, maybe they are biding their time." "Don't be thick, remember what mum told us? Harry and Professor Quinn, have to be together." Page was determined not to interfere, and decided to leave them talking. By ten o'clock they were all fed and ready to leave. Molly then disapperated into the room, and Ginny ran towards her and gave her a hug. "Thank you Page for looking after them. It's been absolute pandemonium at the Order. Dumbledore it trying to get things organised. Well, Remus will be over around ten this evening to give you the latest." She called Ron and Hermione over to her, and went to kiss Harry on the cheek. She went back to the fire, and turned to face Page. "Your welcome Molly. It's been a little depressing over here, but we have managed. I'll speak to you soon." Molly lit the fire, pushed Ron towards the fire, and one after the other they had vanished to 12 Grimmauld Place. Page knew that Harry must be bored without his friends, so Page thought that it would be best if Harry tried out some charms and other spells, which they were to learn in Page's lessons. "Here try this spell, it's to shake the ground beneath your opponent so that he or she falls down, giving you the chance to disarm him or her." They giggled. "Let's try it outside shall we?" Most of the afternoon was to help Harry with new spells. He had mastered the earthquake charm, the repelling charm, and the switch spell. "I'm glad you have learnt the switching spell. That's a hard one, we only use that when someone is going to use an unforgivable curse on you." Harry's face turned to rock. "I'll need to use this then all the time. Voldemort will want to use the killing curse on me. He did last time." Page didn't know what to say to this, and there was an uncomfortable silence. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Harry gave Page a weak smile. "It's OK Harry. Besides we'll be going back to school in two days. Molly said that she'd get your books and other school things while she is in Diagon Alley today." Harry grinned at her. For the rest of the day, Harry learnt new spells, and read through all of Page's books. He fell asleep, while on the last chapter of "Advanced Defence Against the Dark Arts", which had fallen out of his hands and ended up on the floor. She covered him up, and then went to bed.
