ON TO THE STORY………….

Penny and Percy trudged through the city in silence, the sun had set and they were now heading into the woods.

"I don't get why we just can't apparate there." Percy said almost tripping over a tree root

"Because, Voldemort probably can trace it or something freaky, that we don't know about. Why do you not like bonding with me?" Penny laughed at the last part, but Percy didn't respond.

"Well, that hurts." Penny said hoping for some reaction.

"If you must know, I don't hate spending time with you." Percy turned around to say this but when he turned back hit a tree knocking his glasses somewhere unseen. "OH….Shi-Merlin."

"PERCY! Watch the language, we'll find them." Penelope was smiling finding the whole situation hilarious.

"Sure you can say that you don't have to worry about being blind now until we find them." Percy was on the ground moving through the brush and then began to imitate Penny. "Go through the woods in the dark, to be safe. HA! Now I can't find my glasses, how safe is that?"

CRUNCH

"F-found them?" Penelope smiled handing the broken glasses over to Percy who was completely frowning at the situation. Penny however kept walking stepping over random bushes. "Do you know what I realized?"

"What." Percy replied with little interest, fixing his glasses.

"You're very unlucky. Which is sad, but whatever."

Percy caught up to Penny stopping her and looking right into her eyes, getting very serious.

"You think I'm unlucky?" Percy's face was utterly solemn looking terribly serious, which just caused Penny to burst out laughing.

"You're such a freak, now hurry up we gotta get to Crowen." Penelope walked away and left Percy to again catch up.

Days past, very boring days because Percy wouldn't hold a conversation with Penny at all. Finally, though they had reached the out skirts of Crowen. It was a very quiet town, well looked like a very quiet town. People weren't walking around after dark unless it was for what seemed like a split second. Until the morning though all Percy and Penny could do was wait.

"So we're here, now what?" Percy asked a little annoyed that it took so long since they didn't apparate.

"Now, we are going to go into town try and get as much information as possible from people. Hopefully find Ginny and return home." Penny was sounding optimistic which was the complete opposite of Percy.

"No offense, you have horrible plan making skills." Percy was looking into the town. "How bout I just do it my way, and you try not to get hurt."

Penelope began to grow angry, "if I have such horrible plan making skills then what makes you think you're better at it?"

"First off, why wait until morning to go into town it's not like random travelers can't go into random towns at random times. So come on let's go." Percy walked out of the brush and headed into town, but before he got close Penny grabbed him by the collar of his robe.

"Are you that thick?! This town is probably crawling with death eaters, that's who you see once in awhile right now and your just going to stroll in there? They know we're coming especially you so we have to find some other way." Percy opened is mouth but said nothing and just pulled Penny off his collar.

"Fine, then what's the point of sitting here, knowing that we can't go in?" Percy was getting really sick and tired of the set backs.

"Just relax, here comes the sun-

"Oh woopdi doo the sun how's that gonna help?!"

"Watch and stop being so gittish." Penny stepped back and pulled out her wand causing Percy to do the same.

The sun rose over the town and all the towns people came bustling out, huge mobs of people. Going to work or where ever they had to be as quickly as they could, and that was their chance. Penny grabbed Percy and pulled him into town hiding inside the groups of people and with that slipped in a building called the Brickturst Bed and Breakfast.

Percy was white, with surprise he was not expecting such a quick move out of nowhere.

"I accept your apology about my plan making skills." Was all Penny said as she headed to the other side of the rickety room. She reached a door that looked very old and was ready to fall off its hinges. Penelope then opened the door and headed up a wooden spiral staircase.

Percy looked around the room still standing at the door. There were tables and chairs everywhere, and the room was very dusty. It looked like people hadn't even walked in this place for years, however he did follow Penny and also headed upstairs. He met her at the top and quietly followed her down a dark hallway.

"I didn't know you knew so much about this town." Percy whispered

"I'm not surprised you didnt know, I mean you haven't really been in contact with anyone in awhile."

Penny smiled at Percy. Out of nowhere a beam fell from behind them causing Penny to grab his hand. Percy's stomach jumped from this show of affection, but he let go showing now emotion to her, making Penny most uncomfortable.

"Aren't you brave coming from the Order and all." Percy quipped.

"Bugger off." Penny replied getting slightly heated by him, she proceeded down the hall and opened a door that looked like it led in to an even darker room.

"What's up with the no lights thing?" Percy said leaning into the room a little.

"We need some help if you want to find Ginny without getting caught, so I thought you would like to meet some of my acquaintances from... well... work." Penny walked in and vanished.

"What the-? Penny? Penny I don't want another reunion with people who hate me! Penny? Are you listening?" Percy headed into the black abyss his head began to spin, and colors flashed by. He closed his eyes and just waited for it to stop doing his best not to pass out, but Percy's mind went blank and he fell to the ground.
