Chapter 5

The Knight Bus Lead

Getting Harry peace and quiet was going to be difficult, seeing as how they still couldn't find him. Hermione and Ron followed countless leads and took advice from some very 'interesting' people. A hag at The Leaky Cauldron swore that she'd seen Harry shopping for Quidditch supplies. They eagerly followed every lead but more often than not, those 'leads' yielded no results. However, that was all about to change.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Well that got us nowhere." Ron said grumpily as he and Hermione left Mrs. Figg's house the next day.

"It was worth a try, Ronald." Hermione argued.

"Did you honestly think Harry would come back here?" Ron asked incredulously, waving his right hand at Privet Drive.

BANG.

At once a purple bus came screeching to a halt in front of them. A familiar pimply youth jumped down, notecards in hand.

"Welcome to The Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or—"

"Wizard." Ron interrupted him, "Just stick out your wand hand, step on board, and we can take you anywhere you want to go. Honestly Stan, haven't you memorized that by now?"

Hermione smiled slightly as she and Ron stepped onto the bus. Stan was right behind them.

"Sure is good to see the two of you again." Stan said as he took their Sickles.

"It's lovely to see you again as well, Stan." Hermione said sweetly.

Stan blushed.

"You know, 'Arry said the same fink 'e did. 'Ad 'im on 'ere two nights ago didn' we, Ern?"

Ernie grunted.

"Yep. 'E looked like 'e'd seen the wrong end of somethin' 'e did."

Ron and Hermione were gaping at Stan.

" 'Choo lookin' at?" Stan asked.

"Harry was here?" squeaked Hermione.

"Tha's right. Dropped 'im orf we did."

"Stan, can you take us where you took Harry?" Ron asked.

"Course we can! It ain't under water after all." Stan chuckled.

Ron and Hermione let Stan usher them into seats and sat back with grins on their faces as Ernie took off.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Bloody Hell." Ron said as they stepped off of the Knight Bus. Hermione waved goodbye to Stan before turning to join him. She gasped.

"It's…It's…" She seemed to be at a loss for words.

"Number Twelve Grimmauld Place." Ron said as it appeared in front of them.

"Oh, Ron. I don't think this is right…Harry hated this place…" Hermione whispered.

Ron smiled grimly.

"It's worth a try."

Ron started to walk up to the door, but Hermione stopped him.

"What?" He turned to look at her.

"Ron, this is Number Twelve Grimmauld Place! Don't you remember Sirius telling us about all of those charms his dad put on this house?"

"Yes."

"Yes? Well, obviously you seem to know more about getting into houses like this than I do…so go ahead." Hermione glared at him.

"I will."

Ron reached out and pressed his finger to the doorbell. He heard screeching and footsteps. When the door swung open, he turned to smile smugly at Hermione. Hermione gasped, because there in the doorway stood Harry.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/N: Yay! They found Harry! Well it wasn't too hard really thanks to Stan…master of bad grammar. Lol. Well, read and review! I know you'll love it!
