A/N: Hi, everyone! Thanks for the review, by the way. Yes, I did get this from the Cowboy Bebop movie, but I only got the butterflies. Nothing else. If you see anything else that is on the movie, that is completely by accident. I'm sorry I took so long to post again, we lost power during Hurricane Rita for four days, so I could not type from my notebook to the computer. I had to wait until Tuesday to do so. Hope you enjoy this chapter, and please read and review! -- WRV

Chapter 4

"Ron, I'm still not sure about this," Hermione said. "They don't want us going anywhere unprotected!"

"Come on, Hermione," Harry said. "Since when have we done everything that the Order has told us to? I think that I'm gonna have some fun, for once, and you should, too."

"Well, I suppose if we were very careful," she said hesitantly.

"You know that we should have a little fun, Herms," Ron said cheerfully.

"I might as well enjoy this," she sighed. "As long as we don't get into trouble, and aren't gone long, I think that we will survive this day."

They walked down the mall center, looking at the different shops, Ron being amazed by the brightly lit stores, and Hermione and Harry looking straight ahead as they walked. They had marveled over the shop décor so long ago that it wasn't interesting anymore. Before long, they reached the end that lead to the streets of London.

Harry and Hermione turned to look at Ron.

"What?" he asked innocently. "Come on, it's suppose to be this way."

"Suppose to?" Hermione stated, throwing up her hands. "Ron, I am not leaving the mall. It may be dangerous out here, but it is probably worse out there!"

"Come on, Herms, it's only a little farther," Ron pleaded. "We can just order what we need, and be out of there in no time!"

"We could do that, as long as there is no line," Harry agreed. "But we should keep our wands close, just in case."

"Well, I suppose if they have no line," Hermione gave in. "But we must keep a Constant vigilance at all times! If the Order found out that we were here---"

"They would blow a gasket," Harry laughed.

"Definitely," Ron said, also laughing.

"Exactly," Hermione said sternly. "The Order will kill us if anything happened to Harry, Ron, and I will personally kill both of us if that occurs!"

"Relax, Hermione," Ron said. "Let's just go already."

They crossed the street as it began to drizzle lightly on their heads. Hermione took out a mini umbrella from her purse, and the trio huddled under it as it started to rain harder. As people ran for cover from the downpour, they continued down the street toward the café.

"I had forgotten that there was a milkshake and smoothie café here," Hermione said, as if she were afraid to admit that she was mistaken. Harry and Ron glanced at each other and snickered. Hermione sighed disgustedly, but put up with them until they came to the café.

When they got there, they rushed to the empty counter and rang the bell for service. Hermione waited behind them with her wallet out, getting her muggle money because she just new that neither of them had any money to pay for the drinks.

They ordered their milkshakes and they walked towards the mall. It was still raining, so they walked, huddled together and trying not to spill their treats.

"Remember," Hermione was saying, "we can only spend a few minutes window shopping, and then you can ride the escalators until the security men stop you, if you want. Just make sure you do it and get caught before twenty minutes is up!"

Ron smiled at the prospect of riding an ecselator, or whatever they called it. He heard that is was a very fun ride, and that if you did it enough times, people would stare at you like you had grown an extra limb, or something.

Hermione sighed. "I feel like I'm here with a five year old!" she silently moaned.

Suddenly she noticed that Harry had stopped right in front of her. She stopped just in time to not bump into him, and she noticed that he was staring at something to his right. She looked and saw a bush. Ron had stopped also, and was looking at the bush with a scared expression. She couldn't understand why, until she noticed the black piece of cloth sticking out of the side of the bush. The same black cloth that was usually worn by wizards. She and the other two turned to away quickly so that the figure would not notice that they had spotted him.

"Oh, no," she whispered, horrified. "It is either a Death Eater, or an Order member. We must run, we can't take the chance of it being a Death Eater!"

"Yeah," Harry said. "We can run back to the streets and go towards the mall again."

"But the street is still practically deserted because it is still raining," Ron said. "They can easily hit us!"

"We can hide behind cars," Hermione said. "Let's go, now. Ready, set, go!"

They turned on their heels and ran toward the Main London street. They could hear the person who had been watching them running after them. Harry turned his head and saw that two of them were chasing them, with more coming from al sides. They weren't trying to be inconspicuous, because they were shooting off stunning spells everywhere that ricocheted off of buildings and onto the street.

As if on cue, his scar burst with pain. Harry stumbled, and he would have fallen if Ron and Hermione had not supported him when they heard him gasp in pain. They got in front of a car to protect themselves.

"Are you ok, Harry?" Hermione asked him anxiously. He nodded as he lifted up his head.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It is just a dull ache, now."

"Good. Now we can fight them! Let's do this!"

"Yeah," Harry said as he pulled out his wand. "It is time for us to face each other, with no Voldemort to back them up!"

"And so it begins," a voice whispered from the line of Death Eaters that began to advance onto the car.

A/N: It shouldn't be too long before the next one is posted. Please read and review before then, I would really like to know what you think of my story! I can tell you this: it will pretty interesting next chapter. Until next time ---WRV
