Chapter 9
About an hour after they went into the forest. They ran into Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Luna, along with their little group of younger children.
Harry and Charlie quickly explained about what they had done to Voldemort and about the name change. "So when we see him in a minute I will introduce you all with different names. OK?" Harry informed them. "Fine." They answered just as Tom and Mr Weasley caught up with them.
"Hi, Who are you guys?" Tom asked. "Oh Tom this is, Hilary (Hermione), Jenny (Ginny), Rodney (Ron) and Lucy (Luna)." Harry told him. "Ok."
They kept running for another 4 hours, with breaks in between, before they reached what they estimated was the middle of the forest. There they decided that they would try to get some sleep, the teens all took turns keeping watch over the younger kids and looking out for Death Eaters. They had found a reasonable sized cave where they would all fit inside so they had settled down for the night.
Hermione, Ginny and Luna were all sitting in a corner with the youngest in the group, one that was only 3 and were comforting them, they very quickly all fell asleep. At around 2:00pm Harry limped over to the front of the cave with Ron and they took over the watch from, Mr Weasley and Charlie.
For an hour, they sat there with nothing much to do but sit there and stare out into the darkness. But about an hour and half after their watch started, Ron heard leaves crunching nearby.
"What's that?" he asked, jumping to his feet. Harry listened carefully to the surrounding forest. "I can't hear any."
An arrow shot through the trees and hit Harry in the shoulder, making him fall of the boulder he was sitting on and cry out in pain. In the time it took for Ron to climb down from the high perch he had been sitting in, a large black dog ran out of the darkness and jumped on top of Harry, growling at him.
Harry stared at the on top of him, and suddenly recognised him. "Fang.Fang it's.all right boy.it's me.Harry." Harry hoped Fang would recognise his voice even though he was gasping in pain. Fang sniffed him around his head then started to lick his face, bark and jump around. "Whoa boy.calm down.where's Hagrid, Fang. Is.he nearby." When Ron got to Harry, he pull Fang away and helped him up. "Ron.if Fang is here.then Hagrid might.be nearby." "Ok so we call him." "Yeah.but try.not to be.to loud." Ron gave him a strange look but followed his friends wishes.
"Hagrid." Ron called, just louder then a speaking tone. "Hagrid. Hagrid." " Who's there." He easily recognised the voice. "Hagrid, it's Ron and Harry." "Ron? 'Arry. Sorry I thought you were Death Eaters." Hagrid apologised.
"Yes well can you be quiet so that the real Death Eaters don't turn up. Come inside." Ron went back over to where he had left Harry. "Hi, Hagrid." "What's wrong with you 'Arry?" "I had.a run in.with the Death Eaters. Oh and Hagrid.could you.do me a favour?" "Sure." "Next time.before you shoot.check first and before.we go in.Ron can you explain." "Oh yeah, when we escaped Hogwarts we brought Voldemort with us and erased his memory, call him Tom, and we have all changed are names too." Ron went on to tell Hagrid about all the different names Harry had come up with for everyone and had Hagrid repeat them back just to make sure.
Then Ron picked Harry up and carried him inside.
