Remus had found the most comfortable chambers. They were very roomy. They had spent a week, at least, working on the potion that Dumbledore had found before he sent out the letters. It was very complicated indeed. With only a week to go, they were getting very excited.

/Headquarters after Ron went to bed../
Ron, against what Remus and his mother had told him, went and woke Hermione when he was supposed to go to bed. Though she was quite irritated at being woke at such a horrific hour, she was quite worried when told that Remus had come back with no Harry.
The next morning, they were told by Ron's mother that they were to help with a potion that could locate Harry no matter where he was. They didn't feel it the right time to ask questions, but had to when members of the Order started to come by later.
"They want to know where Harry is, mum. What do we tell them?" asked Ron.
"Tell them the truth, Ron. That we don't know where he is but are leaving in an hour to go start the potion to locate him. Yes, be ready in an hour. That means to be packed and down by the fireplace, Ronald," she yelled as he ran to go tell Hermione.
"Hermione! We're leaving in an hour! Be ready and down by the floo with your bags! You can always come back and get more. Only take one today," said Ron, before going to his bedroom to pack himself. He packed just one bag, planning on coming back himself tomorrow or whenever he had a free moment.
Once he was finished packing, he laid down on his bed and sighed. He hadn't seen Harry all summer and now he wasn't sure if he'd ever see him again. Wherever Harry was, Ron hoped that he was safe.

/Present time../
"Now what, Hermione? We're of no use anymore. It's all up to the adults for one more day and then we have to wait five days! And then we won't even know how he is! This stupid potion is just to tell us where he is and what year! What's the point of that?"
"Honestly, Ron. We helped as much as we could. Yes, we have to wait, but there's noting else we can do! Wherever Harry is, I'm sure he's getting taken care of and noting will happen to him. And for the sake of Harry, Ron! If we wouldn't make this potion, we wouldn't know where to start looking in time for him! We'll know on our first try and then Remus can go back and get him."
Ron slumped down onto the couch, giving a slight sob, "but what if he doesn't want to come back?"

AN: Ok, I told you that I wouldn't update today but I really didn't want to add any on this. I just wanted to end it here and I didn't want to do more Harry stuff at the beginning, so yea. This worked, I guess. It's short, I'll admit that, but I've got more here (looks at computer screen) and (jumps up and down) I'm finally going home tomorrow! Like I promised, here are my responses to my nice reviewers!
Anonymous: yea, I suppose it is haunting. Thanks for reviewing
Playpet14: I liked your suggestion about it being their seventh year, but I wanted Harry to be able to go through his sixth year with his parents and such. I will have him go back, again, to right before he's born.. I like the sound of that! Yes, Voldie (as I so much love to call him) and Wormtail will cause a problem for Harry. I don't like, no offense meant, how Harry just ignores Wormtail, but I don't want them to be all chummy close and all.
Spacececatdet: Thanks! And here you guys go! The next chapter will be much longer, plus the fact that I might get another small one like this tonight, like when Harry wakes up, or what goes on when he's out. I dunno. Here you all go! Beaucoup d'amour, Niahiem 3
