Chapter Three

As they drove home Hermione began to cry and eventually pulled the car over, the car was silent as the tears ran down her face, Harry reached over and put his arm around her squeezing her close and her head gently rest on his shoulder. He leaned down and kissed her on the forehead brushing her hair back and looking into her eyes.

"I love you Harry"

"What?" he said

"I love you" she more confidently

He hesitated and looked into her eyes again and said firmly "I love you too" before gently pressing his lips against hers sending fireworks and shivers through his body at the same time.

They stayed in that position for what felt like a few minutes until they saw the clock striking 7:00 and the only sound in the city was the wailing sirens of a cop miles away. They drove home in silence except for the meaningful glances they sent back and forth. At nine they pulled into her driveway and saw a crowd of about 15 wizards standing outside.

A tall DMDE man rushed over to them and said "are you Harry Potter?" Harry nodded and the man held out his hand and said "I'm Stanley Gurk from the DMDE and im in charge of evacuating important peoples until the disease threat passes".

"Does Dumbledore know about this"? Hermione interjected

"You mean you haven't heard?" Stan said surprised

He continued "Yesterday Dumbledore began showing symptoms and late last night he…he…died in his sleep".

The initial response was shock but quickly fear overtook Harry's mind but the man quickly continued "The order agrees that this is the safest measure"

"The Order? You mean you're a member?" Harry said surprised

The man nodded before saying seriously "Both of you go pack your essentials and be ready to leave for The Island"

"The Island?"

"The Island is where the government flees in times of great danger, they haven't been forced to do it since 1940 but this epidemic is bad, worse than Grindelwald and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named combined".

They ran in the house to see Mr. and Mrs. Granger sitting on the couch and her father looked at her one time and nodded to say he understood. They packed clothes in a bag and ran back down the stairs. Hermione walked over to her parents and gave each of them a tight hug.

"I love you guys, I'll be back real quick just don't worry about me"

They nodded and her mother hugged her one last time before they ran out of the door, Outside most of the wizards had left except for Stan who sat holding an old shoe. Harry smiled and said "I see you need new shoes for Christmas"

He put the shoe on the ground and said "in two minutes this will activate it will take you to your quarters on the Island, you must register with DMDE personnel"

"You mean you're not going with us?" Harry replied

"We have 13,000 more people to try and evacuate and then we plan to evacuate the sick as well; bureaucracy does not stand still in the face of chaos"

With that he apparated off leaving Harry and Hermione alone in the cold of the night. Harry gently wrapped his arm around Hermione's waist and she reached down and picked up the shoe and suddenly Harry felt that familiar tug at the navel and slammed into cold hard concrete.

For a second he couldn't open his eyes but when he did he was amazed by what he saw, there were hundreds of people in a large room filling out paperwork at different desks. Suddenly a DMDE woman approached them and smiling said "Hi I'm Kim come with me and I'll be your attendant today".

She led them to one of the desks and sat them down in two chairs in front of it.

"Name" she said looking at Harry.

"Potter, Harry"

"Occupation?"

"Student"

"Age?"

"17"

She smiled again and said "Ok you are going to be number 14567" and handed him a small slip of paper detailing his information and filing status.

"Ok your next, Name?"

"Granger, Hermione"

"Occupation?"

"Student"

"Age?"

"17"

"Ok then your number 14568" and handed her a slip of paper like Harry's

"Follow the corridor and you will see another DMDE worker who will show you to your rooms"

As they got up a familiar voice yelled out "Hermione!" and the two of them turned to see Parvati Patil in the crowd of faces. She ran over to them and gave Hermione a hug "how are you guys?"

"Were fine and you?"

Her sweet face darkened and she said "a couple of days ago Padma...di...di...died"

Hermione gave her another hug and said "Oh Parvati I'm so sorry"

Her family yelled for her and she smiled at them and said "I hope to catch up with you later".
