Chapter 8
The Hiding Place
Usagi sat looking out the window sadly. Few of her friends had been taken under control by an evil wizard who went by the name Lord Voldemort. Now she had to go in hiding because of this guy. To top things off she was still having Chibi-Usa. She was unsure if she wanted to have this child while in the midst of danger.
Usagi looked over at Haruka, who sat across from her. She sat with one leg over the other and her arms crossed. She had her head bent forward and her eyes closed. That was here way to tell everyone she was not in a happy mood. But it didn't matter though because she looked up at Usagi. Usagi guessed she must have felt her staring at her.
"Are you ok Koneko?" Usagi smiled her innocent smile and nodded. Whenever Haruka called her Koneko, she knew that her friend was being serious and protective and there was going to be anything to change her mind on what her actions were gonna be. "You should get some sleep; Galaxia said it was going to be a seven hour ride." Usagi nodded and closed her eyes and leaned her chair back.
It was another four hours before Usagi had woken up and when she did she found Hotaru asleep, Ami reading a magazine on health and Haruka gone. She looked down and saw she was covered once again by the hospital blanket minus one since Hotaru was covered with it. Ami heard her move and looked over to her and saw that she was awake.
"Are you hungry at all Usagi?" she asked calmly. Usagi nodded. "Haruka went to get some food, she should be back shortly."
"Ok. How long has Hotaru been sleeping?" Ami closed her magazine and set on her lap and then looked over at the sleeping girl.
"About the same amount of time as you. We should be in London in about three hours. When we get off the train, we're going to have to find a sign with our names. Galaxia said that's how they are gonna finding us."
"I wonder what kind of family they are going to be." Ami shrugged her shoulders. For the rest of the train ride Usagi, Hotaru, Ami and Haruka stayed up and watched the sun rise and it become morning finally. Galaxia had been right they had arrived in London in seven hours. The walked off the train and looked around. Hotaru was the first one to see the sign.
"I think that's them over there." she said as she pointed to the sign. The three girls looked over and read their names on the white paper and Ami nodded. They walked over to them and saw that there were only three people; three men.
"Are you the Weasley's?" asked Haruka.
"Yes, my name is Charlie, and this is my brother Percy and my other brother Ron." Ami looked them over. Charlie seemed to be an older man, possibly in his mid thirties-late thirties. She looked over to Percy and saw that he was a bit closer to their age, but still older. He was probably closer to Haruka's age since she was older than she and Usagi.
"I'm Haruka and this Hotaru, Ami and Usagi. She is the one that will be needed to keep safe." Haruka introduced them to the Weasley's and they all shook hands. Percy who looked to be nervous looked around and then spoke.
"Well if we are to keep you safe then we must leave now. So please follow us." Percy turned and led their way to an old abandoned building. All that was in it was a stove, a rotting book case, a few pieces of paper floating around on the ground and an old fireplace.
Charlie stepped up to the fireplace and then took a pouch out of his pocket and grabbed a hand full of powder of some sort and handed it to Ron. He stepped in the fireplace and dropped the powder and spoke.
"The Burrow." With a burst of blue flames he disappeared. The scouts looked on in shock. They didn't understand what form of magic it was.
"This is called Flo Powder. You take some, step into the fire place, drop the powder and say where you want to go. It's one of our means of travel. It is perfectly harmless, so you have no need to worry." explained Percy. "The rest of our family will be there when you get to the other side, so you will be perfectly safe. We're actually going to our home." Haruka nudge Usagi to go first and she stepped forward. Charlie handed her some Flo Powder and she stepped into the fireplace, she felt a little worried, but she had no choice but to trust these people.
"Now all you have to do is the burrow." said Charlie.
"The Burrow." she said and she saw and felt the cold flames rise up and then she felt her body spinning and she disappeared into another fire place. She coughed and then she finally heard voices.
"Come here dear. Let's get you out of there." Usagi looked up and saw a woman with red hair walk up to her and grab her gently out of the fireplace. As soon as she had stepped out, Hotaru appeared behind her. She coughed and then she finally saw Usagi walking away and quickly hurried to her side. The two girls turned around and looked bout the room. There were a lot of people and they all had red hair. Usagi and Hotaru thought it was just a bit odd.
Ami appeared in the fireplace and the women went over and brought her out of it. She led Ami to where Usagi and Hotaru were standing. Percy appeared next in the fireplace, followed by Haruka then Charlie. Haruka walked over to the others and looked around the room. The woman ushered then over to a couch and allowed them to sit down.
An old man walked into the room with an older teenage boy, who looked to be the same age as Ron.
"Professor Dumbledore, I'm sorry we did not hear you arrive." said the woman. The old man nodded his head and turned to the four scouts.
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions and wish for them to be answered." The girls nodded at his statement and in turn Charlie escorted a few of the people out of the room and then returned to the living room. Another guy who hadn't come to get the girls casted a spell upon the room, so that eavesdroppers didn't hear anything.
"My name is Professor Dumbledore; I am the Head Master at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Hogwarts? That's the name of the of the Express we are required to take to where ever it is we are needed to go." spoke Hotaru.
"Yes Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is where you will be staying until we are sure you will be safe out of our protection." spoke the new guy. Ami looked over at him and took in his appearance. He looked to her as if he had just come from a rock concert. His long hair was tied back and he had a fang earring in. Though she normally wasn't attracted to people of his looking's, she had the faintest feeling that she could trust this man.
"Professor, Sir…ummm…my friend Galaxia is the one who sent us here, can you explain to us your connection with her." spoke Usagi.
"She and I have known each other along time, even when your mother was around."
"My mother? But that was over a thousand years ago."
hey well I hope you liked the last two chapters. I'm finally getting good ideas for this story and I'm really trying hard to put them into words. But I want send out a special thanks to my friends Megan and Tarah for giving me the ideas without even realizing it. With out them I wouldn't be able to get farther into this story. I am determined to finish this story, so I hope those of you who like this story can bear with me, until I am finally able to finish it.
