Harry sat at the table, his chin balanced on top of his hands. He and Ron had sat there for hours, turning page after page of the boring Hogwarts records. So far, they had found ... nothing.

"Harry, hold Annie while I go to get a drink, ok?" Ron said.

Harry jumped at the sound of his voice. He quietly reached over and pulled the sleeping girl to his lap. Ron stood and walked away.

Harry resumed his search. He had already gone through at least 50 different books on Hogwarts, but had found nothing. They were pretty sure Hermione hadn't gone farther back than 1900. No writing in the books suggested her being there, and once they found decades with pictures they still hadn't found anything.

Ron came back a few minutes later. "Harry, it's 6:30! We've been here for almost eight hours!"

Harry looked at the clock above the entrance and found that Ron was right. No wonder Annie was so worn out! They gathered the books that they still had to search and walked to the checkout counter. When they finished with that, they found a flooing fireplace and made it back to Hermione's house.

"Harry, did you find anything?" Mr. Granger asked as he stepped out of the fireplace. Ron answered for him.

"No, we haven't found a single clue," he said dejectedly.

The Grangers' faces fell. They had no idea where their daughter was and were getting worried. At least Dumbledore thought she was at Hogwarts ... that came as some sort of comfort.

The next day Harry and Ron woke up early to make it to their meeting with Dumbledore. They ran down the stairs and into the kitchen, making their way for the breakfast waiting for them at the table.

Harry and Ron were asked to watch Annie, once again. The adults were under a lot of stress from work and the babysitter still hadn't recovered. Of course, they didn't mind.

A couple of hours later, Ron and Harry found themselves getting Annie ready to leave. She looked adorable in her little baby overalls!Once she was changed and Ron had grudingly agreed to carry the diaper bag, they all stepped into the fireplace.

"Rosmerta's!" Ron yelled as the powder engulfed them. As they couldn't floo into Hogwarts directly, they had decidedHogsmeade would be second best.

With the help of the Maruader's Map and its knowledge of shortcuts, they made it through Hogsmeade in almost no time. Before they knew it, they were sitting in Dumbledore's office.

Well, I know it is terribly short. So next time I promise it will be the longest I have ever written, ok?

Next time : Hermione's getting impatient and Remus accidentally tells her friends the secret.

Until then,
