Hermione woke up the next morning to find that she was alone and a letter on Harry's pillow.
Hermione picked up the letter and read:

Dear Hermione,
I am so sorry to do this to you but I need to get away from everything that has happened because I don't want to be known as Harry Potter - The Boy Who Lived anymore when I was only doing something that would save my life.
It just so happened to save you life, everyone else's lives, Hogwarts and the whole Wizarding world at the same time.
When I get to wherever I am going I will owl you to tell you what is happening.
Again I am so sorry for leaving without saying a proper goodbye.
Speak to you soon.
Harry.

After reading the letter 5 times to make sense of it Hermione screamed.
"Wha. What's happening?" Ron was asking as he ran in from the common room, wearing just his boxers and holding his wand out ready to attack anyone.
As Ron was half asleep he ran straight past Hermione and into the bed which he somersaulted over and banged into the wall with an almighty crash.

Ginny who heard the crash walked into the bedroom and when she saw Ron on the floor she started to laugh so hard that it made her have hiccups.
"What. Hic. Are you. Hic. Doing. Hic. Down there. Hic. For. Hic" Ginny asked Ron in between the hiccups.

"It's not funny Gin" Ron said grumpily.
"I ran into the bed and fell over and crashed into the wall coz INCEDENTALLY I thought that someone was killing Hermione coz she was screaming bloody murder so SHUT UP!!!" Ron finished.

"WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP ARGUING FOR 1 MOMENT!" Hermione shouted.

"Ok. Hic. But can you. Hic. Do something. Hic. About. Hic. The. Hic. Hiccups?"

"Oh this will do just fine Gins" answered Hermione angrily.

Ginny went to reach for the letter but Ron snatched it out of Hermione's hand and read it out loud.

After he finished reading Ginny spoke with a note of concern in her voice.

"But he wouldn't do anything stupid would he?"

"Hope not" Hermione answered looking very frightened.

Hermione turned to look at Ron where he was now sat on the bed.

"Ron?" Ginny and Hermione asked cautiously at the same time.

After a moments silence Ron spoke or rather Ron shouted.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S DONE THIS. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S GONE AND LEFT US. HE KNOWS HOW EVERYONE FEELS ABOUT HIM. MERLIN, HE EVEN KNOWS ABOUT GINNY FOR GOODNESS SAKES. YOU WAIT TILL I GET MY FUCKING HANDS ON HIM. YOU JUST WAIT. I'M FUCKING GONNA KILL THE LITTLE FUCKER. YOU WAIT I'LL KILL HIM!"

"Know what about Ginny?" Hermione asked while looking at Ginny who had turned very red and let out a huge hiccup.

"NEVER YOU BLOODY MIND!" Ron shouted back which made everyone jump.

Hermione considered whether she should ask Ron to calm down but decided against it.

"Hey they're gone. Thanks Ron you helped to get rid of the hiccups" Ginny said with a grin on her blushing face.

Ron turned to look at her and glared at her.

After Ron, Ginny and Hermione read the letter they decided to go and stay at Grimmauld Place rather than going home for the summer and wait for Harry to send a letter to them telling them where he was.
That letter never came and 6 months after his disappearnce, Hedwig returned to Grimmauld Place with no letter from Harry.
