The Grangers looked at the doorknob turning with bated breath. Both Peter & Hermione drew their gun and wand respectively waiting to defend the family at any cost if there is a enemy behind the door. The door slowly opens wide and Hermione bursts out laughing because it turns out to be a startled tabby cat in Professor Lupin's arm staring down the barrel of a SiG Hauer and a wand. Peter just lowers his gun and shakes his head at the situation. The tabby cat quickly leaps down to the floor and transforms into Minerva McGonagall, scowling at the situation that they have found themselves in.

"Mr. Granger, it is commendable that you are willing to put yourself in danger to defend your family but it was unpleasant finding myself staring down the barrel of a gun and a wand when the door opened."

Peter scowls at the comment "Professor McGonagall...I understand your feeling but I was not sure who was behind the door. A gun is a rather quicker way of wounding a enemy than a wand. I truly apologize to you and Professor?"

" Apology accepted, Mr. Granger. My name is Remus Lupin and since the Headmaster decided that it would be prudent to move you and your wife into hiding tonight instead of tomorrow because we have evidence that Death Eaters have been ordered to move in and assassinate your family. I have a portkey ready to take you to the location where Professor Dumbledore is awaiting your arrival to place the Fidelius Charm on you and your wife. The word to activate the portkey is Brian, make sure that you and your wife have a grip on the portkey before you do say the word." Remus takes out a catnip toy of his coat pocket and hands it to Peter.

Annabelle stands up from the couch she had been sitting on with Hermione during the discussion between Remus and Peter. "Remus and Professor McGonagall, we truly appreciate what you and the order are doing to ensure our family's safety and thank you."

"Ms. Granger, you are welcomed and I wish you the best of luck in your new life...hopefully the war will be over soon and your family will once again be reunited." Minerva glances at Anna and Peter giving Hermione one final hug before they stepped away, feeling like she is intruding on a private moment.

Hermione looks on while her parents take a part of the portkey and say the word and her parents look on as they say "We love you sweetie and we will see you soon, Brian" then disappear from view.

Minerva walks up to Hermione and takes the grief tornwoman in her arms and hugs her and soothes her with comforting word. Remus looks on and walks upstairs to send all the suitcases to Albus who will send the suitcase to their destined location. When will this war ever end..how many more families will be torn apart? Remus shakes himself out of a stupor and looks on at Minerva and Hermione from the stairs one last time before apparting away to Hogwarts to await a new assignment from Headmaster Dumbledore.

Hermione manages to get herself under control and looks at Professor McGonagall who is sitting across from her in the recliner. "Professor McGonagall, what will happen now? Where will I go from this point now on?"

With a stern expression, Minerva states "Miss Granger, I will be taking you to the Weasleys where you will be staying for a few days before Professor Snape will arrive there to take you to Hogwarts to begin your apprenticeship."

Hermione looks on warily and notices Professor McGonagall's body stance & facial expression before the professor quickly hides it. Hmm...Professor McGonagall doesn't approve of what Headmaster Dumbledore has done...but why?

"Miss Granger, your trunk and your cat has already been sent to the Weasleys and we will be apparting there right now." Minerva stands up to Hermione and takes her hand and apparates away.

The Granger house is now empty and the wards have been officially disbanded within a minute of Hermione apparating away from the house.

Arriving to the now empty house due to the wards now disbanded. Jean-Pierre looks around disdainfully as he realizes that he made his move a little too late and the Granger family no longer reside there. In a blind rage, he unleashes his dark powers and obliterates everything in sight. All left is a smoldering wreck where the Granger residence stood. Looking onto the wreck, Jean-Pierre draws his wand one last time and shouts Morsmordere leaving the Dark Mark glittering like a green neon sign in the black night sky as a warning to all who crosses his path and apparates away to report to the Dark Lord. The last thought running through Jean-Pierre before he met the Dark Lord is Someday, my dear Miss Granger...you will be mine and Potter will get his nasty end.
