Soo glad you all like the story so far! Our small little town (New Haven, MO)had a huge Anhydrous Ammonia leak and part of the town had to evacuate. Thankfully I was not one of those people. Some of you may have heard about it on the news, but in case you didn't I'll putthe storyfrom KSDK's websiteat the bottom of the chap for you to check out. Ok anyway here's your update.

That evening Hermione thought it would be a good idea to go down and visit Hagrid. She entered the Gryffindor tower to ask Harry and Ron if they wanted to go along. She found them sitting down in front of the fire playing Wizard's Chess.

"Hey guys! You want to go down with me to see Hagrid?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, hey Hermione! That sounds great, just let me take this chess board up to my room." Harry said picking up the board. "You coming with us Ron?"

"Yeah, we'll wait for you down here Harry." Ron replied.

Harry quickly cam back down from his room. The Trio stepped out of the common room and into the corridor. Hardly anyone was walking about this time of day. They were usually doing homework at the last minute or playing games like Exploding Snap and Wizard's Chess.

They made their way down the castle and out into the warm evening air. They crossed the grounds to Hagrid's cabin. The cabin had a glow coming from the window when they approached. Harry raised his hand and knocked.

"Who's there, what'd ya want?" Hagrid grumbled from inside.

"It's Harry, Ron, and Hermione." Hermione called through the door.

"Oh well why didn't you say so." Hagrid said cheerfully. "Get back now Fang, get back."

"Hey Hagrid." Harry greeted when the door opened.

"Finally decided to come and see me, eh?" Hagrid asked

"We've been busy with homework and those exchange students from the America's. Don't think we intentionally didn't come and see you." Ron said.

"I know, it's just been lonely down here al by myself since you guys don't take my classes anymore." Hagrid said with a small sniff.

"We're really sorry Hagrid. Honestly we are." Hermione told him.

"O'course you are." Hagrid said knowingly. "I hear there is something going on between our Hermione and that Malfoy kid. Isn't that the rumor going around?"

"It's no rumor Hagrid, it's true." Hermione said with a slight blush of embarrassment.

"Ah, well that alright as long as he doesn't hurt you in anyway." Hagrid said protectively.

"Thanks Hagrid, you're really a great and understanding friend." Hermione replied.

"Now you three had better get back to the castle, I don't want you to be caught out too late." Hagrid said opening the door for them to leave.

"Alright, we'll see you around." Harry called as the Trio headed back for the castle.

GAS LEAK!

In Franklin County, Missouri, Hazmat crews were battling a chemical leak at a farm supply company on Highway 100, near New Haven Monday evening.

The view from Chopper 5 showed a white haze pouring out of a chemical tank. The leaking chemical is anhydrous ammonia, which is highly explosive and used on farms as fertilizer. But it is often stolen and used to make methamphetamine.

The incident began Monday afternoon near county Highway E. Traffic was being diverted around the area. At least one home near the company has been evacuated.

The tank had about 10,000 gallons of anhydrous ammonia. No one has been injured. Investigators don't know what caused the leak.

Kind of cool how our town of only a couple thousand made headline news. It was even bigger than Katrina's news today. Well please review. I know it's short, but If I don't have school because of the leak then I'll update again tomorrow. Luv ya'llz lotz! JORDAN!
