Summery Normally Harry Potter hates the summer but this year he doesn't want to return, return to Hogwarts, to his 'friends'. Why? Harry doesn't arrive at Hogwarts, and Draco Malfoy is sent to find him.

Dumbledore sat unflinchingly through Draco's tirade; obviously, the coot had been expecting it. The blonde mused to himself, this isn't right, but then what can you expect of such a power hungry fool. No, it is to be expected.

"I hardly expect this to be a suicide mission, Mr. Malfoy," At this Snape snorted, and the Headmaster gave him a harsh glance.

Too soon, however, that damn twinkle returned. Twisting a ring upon his thumb the Headmaster continued.

"I would like you Mr. Malfoy to find Mr. Potter, and bring him back here, do you understand? Now, I'm sure a house elf can prepare you—"

"Excuse me sir," Draco cut in angrily, "but I never agreed to go"

There was a tense silence, "Why Draco, I never gave you a choice."

The Slytherin paused, then pivoted and exited the office.

"Mr. Weasley, Miss. Granger, please return to your common room."

The potions master strode to the desk and leaned over. "I hope you realize Albus that you are also losing me." With that, he turned in a billow of fabric.

The headmaster sighed and turned to stroke Fawkes, but… every time he came to touch the golden plumage, the avian shifted away.

Sighing again, the man said, "Well, it seems I'm losing quite a many people today. Though as always," his voice hardened now, "I will make the best of things. After all, it wouldn't due to fail."

Only silence met his statement.

Hermione paced the Gryffindor common room anxiously, muttering to herself as she turned. Ron, eventually tiring of the repetition, grabbed her hand and pulled her on to the seat beside him.

"'Mione, relax. Everything will be fine… I'm sure Dumbledore will pull through with a solution. Hopefully better then the current one," he muttered to himself.

She gave him a disgusted look, "Ronald Weasley! Do you honestly think I'm going to sit here, and not do anything?"

He shrugged "Then what do you plan to do? I'll help you."

Hermione sat back down with a thump.

"Well?"

"I don't know… I don't know"

Ron shook his had and said "Well 'Mione, there's a first time for everything."

The both laughed, despite the anxiety they felt.

The Boy-who-lived sat comatose on a moldy coverlet. He had rented an apartment.

Stupid muggle, Harry thought about the Landlord, although I suppose I must be thankful he took my wizard money. It wouldn't have been a good idea to go to Gringotts at the moment. Besides, I really needed a place to stay.

It was dismal, but better to hide in a muggle place then wizard. It made him harder to find.

Harry watched the sun set through the grimy window in the bedroom.

I don't want to, but I'll have to stop by Gingotts tomorrow. There really isn't a way around it, at least until I find a job. Finally, Harry slipped into an exhausted slumber.

The Prince of Slytherin arrived early at breakfast, and attempted to avoid his 'journey.'

Eventually, Snape found him. "Come on Draco. Don't worry, I shall accompany you."

When they arrived in Hogsmead they apparated to King's Cross, and Snape continued ignoring Draco's complaints about side-along-apparation.

Finally the blonde asked, "Severus where do we start? Also, supposing we find Potter, will we actually go back?

"Harry was said to have stopped at Gringotts, but I'm pretty sure he's staying somewhere muggle. No, to answer your second question, we will most certainly not return to Hogwarts. Albus has really gone too far, and I cannot allow our only 'hope' to be destroyed by his foolishness."

They continued unawares of the bushy-haired brunette watching them.
