A/N: Sorry for the wait Ochem is taking over my life! As always let me know what you think!
When Ron got back he found Harry sleeping in his bed. His friend was curled up in a ball, hidden from the world's prying eyes under layers of blankets (several of which were knitted by his mother). Ron looked at Seamus suspiciously; it was only five in the evening, way to early for any teenager to go to sleep.
Seamus looked pale and tired as he motioned for Ron to come over towards him. He ran a shaky hand through his hair as he whispered to Ron.
"I don't know what happened, mate. One second we were just sitting in the room, it was dead silent, the next second he his sobbing in the bathroom."
Ron suddenly felt cold.
"Did he say anything before?"
Seamus shook his head, " No, it was dead silent in the room, then he said he had to use the bathroom and practically ran away."
"Was his scar bleeding?"
Seamus shook and then looked at his hands. "He just kept crying and mumbling." Seamus then looked up at Ron with wide eyes. "It was so messed up. I had no idea what to do. I-I've never seen anybody like that before. He just kept crying and shaking. And he kept saying Cedric and Mooney over and over again. So I just put him to bed. I-I shou-"
Ron held his hands up, "Whoa-Whoa Seamus that's fine, you did great!"
Seamus looked down at his hands again and Ron sighed before saying, "Seamus I can take over, why don't you go get some supper."
The teen looked at Harry and then back at Ron, "Are you sure?"
Ron nodded, "Yeah, go tell Hermione to come up if you could."
And then Seamus was gone, leaving Ron to his thoughts.
Harry knew Remus was missing.
Harry was blaming himself.
Harry was going to do something reckless.
Ron was probably going to do something reckless with him, to make sure he was alright.
Ron sat down on his bed with a huff. It was during times like these Harry was so predictable. As much as Dumbledore had been irritating Ron lately, he was right, Harry needed to be watched, but he needed to be watched by the right people.
Ron heard the door squeak and saw Hermione coming towards him. He quickly filled her in on the situation. She sat there quietly while he explained what Seamus had told him, and once he finished, she sighed and looked at Harry's sleeping body.
"We're going to do something stupid again, aren't we?"
Ron smiled at her, "Probably."
She sighed again with a sad smile and then spoke louder, "Harry I know your up."
Ron quickly looked at Harry's bed surprised, and sure enough the boy whipped the cover that were once over his head off and looked at them with a look that Ron knew very well. I thought Seamus would never leave!"
Ron groaned, "We are going to do something reckless."
Harry's face set in determination, "I've got to-"
Ron rolled his eyes, "Yes we know."
"You guys can't-"
This time Hermione spoke, "Harry we've gone through this before, we are coming with, its no use to even waste time fighting it."
"But-"
Ron stood, "Shut up, its either we go, or we tell a teacher."
Harry sighed and started to rummage through his trunk. "Alright you guys can come, but you can't tell anybody about where we are going."
Hermione's curiosity spiked, "Where are we going?"
Harry smiled sadly, "To visit Mooney of course."
"Harry we can't just storm into You-know-who's headquarters to save Mooney."
"Who said anything about Voldemort?"
"But doesn't You-Know-Who have Remus."
Harry threw out a back and a couple pairs of ratty muggle clothes out.
"No, Voldemort doesn't have Remus, my people do. We are going to muggle London, Ron here's some muggle clothes for you, Hermione I trust you have something to wear?"
Ron and Hermione looked at each other.
"Muggle London?!" Ron said in a high voice. He had only been there once when he was little boy.
Harry started to pull the lining of his trunk and then started to pull out all different sorts of potions.
"Yeah, Muggle London. Hermione, dress in dark colours, don't wear anything that will draw attention to yourself, also bring your potion knife just incase, or a pocket knife if you got one, we will be going into a bad part of London."
Ron gulped and grabbed Harry's muggle clothes. They were obviously old and big, very big. Ron wasn't sure if that was a muggle fashion of if Harry just had ugly clothes. He figured we wouldn't ask.
"When are we leaving?" Ron asked.
"What time is it?"
"5:30."
"We need to leave in about twenty minutes, but before we go we need to make a pit stop."
"Where to?"
"Snape's potion cabinet."
Ron fell off the bed.
"Snape's potion cabinet?!"
Harry looked at him evenly. "Snape's potion cabinet."
Ron stood up. "SNAPE'S POTION CABINET! Mate that's not just reckless that's suicidal!"
Harry glared at him, and Hermione elbowed him. Hard.
"Ow!"
"Ron! Be more sensitive! Think before you speak! Honestly! I'll be ready in the common room in five," Hermione said as she stormed off.
Ron looked at Harry helplessly, "What did I do wrong!"
Harry just rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Just get dressed Ron."
Stealing from Snape was surprisingly easy, many due to the fact that Harry had done it at least 10 times before. Ron of course was scared out of his wits, but Harry already knew all the traps and security charms on the cabinet.
"I only do this when I don't have time to make the potions," Harry had told Ron as he filled his bag with at least twenty vials of potions, and then with that he closed the cabinet door and walked out of the room.
Ron and Hermione swiftly followed Harry as he led them from the dungeons to the door to outside.
"Potter!" A voice barked behind them. All three froze and turned. There standing in all his terrifying glory was Professor Snape.
"Just where are you three going?"
Ron could swear Snape could hear his heart pounding. Hermione stepped forward.
"We were going to have a picnic outside, Harry didn't want to eat in front of all those people, so we thought we would go outside. "
Snape quirked an eyebrow, "Oh really? With what food? "
Harry pointed to his bag.
"I had the house elves fill it for us."
The potion master looked at them suspiciously.
Harry then glared at the professor, "What do you want to look into my bag? Because of what the Dursley's did am I suddenly not trustworthy? Or perhaps you want to take my bag from me. First you take my dad's cloak, the only thing I have of him, and now you want my bag? The bag that Remus gave me for Christmas? I'm sure Remus will be happy when I tell him that!"
Snape took a step back, his eyes slightly widening as Harry ranted at him.
"I will be watching to make sure you're back before dark." And with that Snape swept away and Ron could breathe.
The trio rushed out of Hogwarts.
"I didn't know Remus gave that bag to you, " Hermione said quietly as they hurried towards Hogwarts' boarder.
Harry looked at her slyly. "He didn't, I lied."
Hermione gasped and looked at him. "Harry! Why would you say something like that then?"
Harry looked ahead before stopping as they got to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
"Hermione, in order to survive you have to know your environment and the people in it. You have to know what to say, and how people will react to it. I said what I had to in order for Snape to react the way I wanted him to."
Hermione looked at Harry with sad eyes that frankly Harry did not want to see.
He walked forward into the forest, and his friends silently followed.
Once they were about five minutes into the woods Harry stopped and pulled out a gold heart shaped pin.
"Alright everybody hold on to some part of the pin."
"Is this a portkey?" Ron said shocked as he grabbed the pin.
Harry looked pale, "Yeah, it's the only way to get there fast. You guys ready?"
The two of them nodded. And then Harry whispered a word and suddenly they were flying.
