A/N: Sorry, I know the last chapter was really short, and well, sorry! The next few chapters will be like that too but trust me they will get longer. Also carpe retractum is tethering something to your wand.

Chapter 2

"Midnight Flight"

Harry didn't know what he was doing. He didn't know where he was going. Suddenly from behind him he heard his name. It was far away though. He stopped in mid air and felt as though he was going backwards…A few short moments later he knew he was. After a minute he found himself right beside Hermione.

"The spell's quite useful, that carpe retractum." Said Hermione coolly while giving Harry a 'don't tell me you thought you'd get away' look. "I borrowed a firebolt from Kingsley, and lucky he had it too" she explained to the baffled look on Harry's as to her broom.

His expression changed at once. "Look Hermione I…" "NO! Stop right there!" Interjected Herm, "They miss Sirius, we all do, but we don't sincerely blame you, we blame voldemort." "He tricked you and out of love for your godfather you fought to save him. You didn't know any better and you may have weakened Voldemort in the process, so it was sort of a quid pro quo." Said Hermione, and as an after thought by Harry's expression added "An unfair trade though".

"Herm, I've heard the whole 'he died the noble way' speech too many times already and I…" "Harry, I didn't mean it like that ok? I am sorry. So can we please go back now? My butt is killing me" Replied Hermione. At that Harry actually smiled. "Ok, Herm, ok." Soon the smile faded off his face as he realized they didn't know the way back. What were they gonna do? "Hey, Hermione!" Harry exclaimed, a bright idea coming to his head, "Do you think you could magically modify the marauder's map to give us a location?" "Brilliant!" exclaimed Hermione. After some guess work and much time spent, they had finally done it.
