CHAPTER 5-
"That was weird," Ron said after everyone had calmed down. Harry and he went upstairs while Hermione helped Ginny wash her hair.
"I know. It was like one moment, we were walking, and the next moment she was covered in spiders…" Harry lied. He knew he couldn't tell Ron what really happened out there.
"I have a feeling something else was out there. I heard a whisper. It sounded like 'Crucio' or something," Harry pondered.
"Dunno. But something definitely put those spiders on Ginny. There's no way they went there themselves," Ron said quietly. "But I'm going to bed. G'night."
"G'night,"
That night, Harry didn't sleep well. He felt as if spiders were crawling all over him. He dreamed that spiders were covering him, eating his skin….
"Harry! Get'up! We have to go!" Mrs. Weasley was racing around Harry's room grabbing everything and throwing it into his trunk.
"Where are we going?" Harry asked, half asleep.
"Dear, we've been robbed!" Mrs. Weasley replied frightened.
"Wha-?" Harry asked, now fully awakened.
"We've been robbed!" Mrs. Weasley shouted. "Well, get up!"
Harry got up and ran around the room shoving everything into his trunk.
"Oh damn!" Harry said, "Hedwig's not back yet!"
"It's ok. She'll find us." Mrs. Weasley said calmly.
At this point, everyone was downstairs bustling around, but all the well frightened. Hermione, Ginny and Ron were gathering the last of their things while Harry and Mrs. Weasley emerged from the upstairs.
"What exactly was stolen?" Harry asked inquisitively.
"Only one thing was stolen. Our clock." Mrs. Weasley replied quite slowly.
They all gathered with their trunks in front of the fireplace.
"Where are we going to go?" Ron asked.
"The Hog's Head Inn," Mrs. Weasley replied quite simply.
Ron went first, by floo powder of course, Ginny after. Then Hermione went quite gracefully. Then it was Harry's turn. He never liked nor was good at going by floo powder but somehow he always made it through. Mrs. Weasley insisted that she go last in case the intruder was still there, but she met with them fine at the Hog's Head.
"Hello, can you spare two rooms?" Mrs. Weasley asked after they had all come through and dusted themselves off.
"I'm sorry ma'am. We only have one room." The innkeeper said.
"Oh dear." Mrs. Weasley said, " I guess that will do, I suppose."
Everyone piled into the tiny room.
