"Everyone, before we go you are to sort yourselves into groups of four and I would like a museum staff member to pick a group to lead." Desiree directed forcefully pulling everyone's attentions from the scare they had just experienced. Harry, Ron, Neville, and Hermione all turned to each other and decided to become a group. Dumbledore and a tall, dark haired man in his early twenties walked over to their group. "Harry, I will be accompanying your group for extra protection as well as Desdemona LeFieré, the daughter of Desiree and Desmond."

"Everyone seems to be in a group so we shall go out now. Each group will have it's own Tour Broom Bus which you must stay in at all times unless I direct you otherwise. Please follow me and everyone get in their bus with their group."

Everyone started to walk out of the door but Dumbledore grabbed Harry's shoulder and pulled him aside. "You have your Invisibility Cloak as I recommended you take before we left?" Harry nodded and added, "I have my cloak, wand, and I am also wearing one of the Shield Cloaks that I purchased from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes." Dumbledore nodded and guided Harry towards the door so they would not miss their group.

They hurried through the foggy drizzle to what looked like a floating, yellow golf cart with the words Museum of Magic : Riddle Mansion written on the side. Dumbledore took a seat in the front next to Dustin while Harry slid in next to Ron in the back of the Tour Bus. "Ron, have you ever seen one of these buses? There must be a lot of broom power for them to float." "Oh ya," Ron replied, "They use them at all museums. What do they do in Muggle museums? Do they use cars or something?" Harry and Hermione laughed. "No Ron, Muggles have to walk through their museums. I hated that because my feet would always be tired. By the way, who steers these things?" Hermione said. "The bus at the front is steered by the tour guide and the rest of the buses just follow one after another." Neville replied, feeling proud to be able to answer Hermione's question.

The bus started zooming down the front driveway towards the main gate that they had entered in earlier in the morning. The buses all stopped in a line just on the inside of the gate. Desiree's voice projected from the roof of their bus as she explained, "I will start by telling some of the history of the house. These are the original gates that were put up when the house was originally built by Camilla Riddle for her family. It was uncommon for a woman to direct the building of a house in those days because women were not given many rights but Camilla's husband Gabriel known as Gabe was known for his respect of a woman's rights and gave her the privilege of making the house how she wanted it. As you can see, there is a plaque on the other side of the fence that says Riddle Manor. That plaque was given to Gabe Riddle as a birthday present from Gail Hornish, his secret mistress and neighbor's servant.

The buses started heading back up the driveway but turned off on another branch which led to a decrepit cottage. Along the way Desiree continued, "Just before the house was completed Camilla found out about Gabe's relationship with Gail and she threw Gabe out of the main house which they were already living in and made him live in the cottage which was to become the gardener's house. Once Gabe was thrown out of his house he resided in this house until he died of starvation because he ran out of food." Ron looked at Harry and mouthed, "Bloody hell, that sounds kind of creepy." Harry nodded and looked over at the cottage.

As Harry looked into the window a dark sillouette stopped in front of the window, paused, and slowly crept away. Harry turned to his friends and asked, "Did-- did you see that man in the window over there?" Neville whimpered and shrunk down in his seat while Hermione said, "Stop trying to scare us Harry. It's not going to work" Harry pleaded, "I wasn't trying to scare you I really saw something there." Ron looked at them, his face white with fright, "He's telling the truth. I saw it too."
