Ron and Hermione both apparated to number four Privet Drive and appeared there within seconds of each other.

"Do you think he's here?" asked Ron. Hermione looked at him and smacked him on the forhead.

"Uh-duh Ron where else would he be going next? He said Hogwarts, Dursley's, Godric Hollow. I think he didn't really expect us to follow, so why would he change his route?" Hermione said with a matter-of-fact tone in her voice.

Uh... I don't know maybe because he might have thought we 'would' follow him, because that is what we would usually do!!"

"Uh.. no its not Ron. You know its not! Well maybe if it was just you-" Hermione started but Ron cut her off.

"Then why did you do it this time? HMMM?"

"This time is different. Harry really needs us this ti-" Hermione started to say in defense before she was again cut off by Ron.

"Just like he needed us the last time we did it, and the time before that, and the time before that! Hermione face it, we're always there for Harry in his time of need, but doesn't want anyone to help him. For he's in fear of losing us so he tries to protect us!

"Face it Hermione you know we do it so don't go trying to be a goody-two-shoes we know you're not!" Ron hollered.

Hermione went to reject but at that moment the young wizard and witch that had been bickering and hollering on the porch facing the street were pulled into the house backwards by someone with sasauge like fingers loudly whispering in a deathly like tone, "WHAT THE DEVIL ARE YOU TWO...'ABNORMAL' PEOPLE DOING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE!?"

Hermione who had gotten over her shock after she realized who it was kindly asked, "Would you please let us go? We really don't want to hurt you."

With a yelp Harry's uncle Vernon let them go as if he touched them for a second longer he would be deseased by a desease that would kill him instantly.

Hermione as soon as was let go closed the door and said, "Thank you for welcoming us into your lovely house."

"What!? I didn't- You can't- What!?" said Vernon. Taking a deep breath and regaining his voice he stated, "What the devil do you want!"

"We would like to talk to Harry we figure he's here?" Hermione asked looking at Ron who was slightly red in the face.

"Ah hah! So that little brat is coming back! I'll teach him a lesson or so when I get my hands on him! Nobody makes a fool of a Dursley! And I hope he brings that crackpot ol' fool here with him-"

"Who? Dumbledore? Don't you ever talk about those two like that again or I'll curse you!" said Ron finally speaking.

Vernon jumped back as Ron pulled his wand out. Hermione on the other hand said to Ron, "NO Ron you can't!"

"Sh-she's ri-right you kn-know! You can't do ma-ma-magic outside of your sch-school." He said though he never took his eyes off the wand.

"Oh yea? Try me." said Ron in a Harry-ish kinda way.

"Ron" said Hermione in a pleading note.

"Now tell us," said Ron ignoring her, "Has Harry been here?" He lowered the wand about a quarter of an inch.

"N-n-n-no." said Vernon in a weak voice.

Ron smiled and put his wand away, "Thank you. Now wasn't that easy?" Vernon was going to reject but thought better of it. "Now we will take Harry's stuff so he won't have to come back for it later. You don't object do you?"

Before Vernon could react Ron and Hermione turned and walked up the stairs.

"Ron, that was a very foolish thing to do. You know that!" said Hermione once they were out of earshot of Mr. Dursley

"So! The old fool had it coming talking about Harry and Dumbledore like that." He shot back in defense.

"Yea, what ever Ron. Come on. Let's get this stuff out of here since you so kindley volenteered us." said Hermione walking into Harry's room. "Let's get this over to the Burrow so they won't have to put up with it anymore..." she trailed off.

After a few minutes of gathering up his stuff she said, "Wow, he doesn't have alot does he?"

"No, just a few things here and there. It doesn't help his aunt and uncle don't like him."

"True... Ya know sometimes I wonder how Harry can be such a nice person with the people he lives with as his examples all his life."

They heard sniffling and shuffling of feet in the room next door. "I think it's best if we don't talk about this here." said Ron looking at the door.

"Right."

Again silence. When Hermione and Ron had finished packing what was left of Harry's Room Hermione said,"You know... never mind."

"I know what Hermione?"

"You were right."

"About?"

"Him not being here."

Now it was Rons turn to hit Hermione on the head. "Duh- when was your first guess?" Then he laughed.

"Well let's go! The quicker we get back to the burrow the sooner we get to Harry."


"Draco? What are you doing here? How did you know about this place? And what do you mean take a last look?" said Harry very confused.

"Wow, you're quick at following your little girlfriend, Potter. Who is by the way over there!" sneered Malfoy.

Harry taking his eyes off Draco looked over and saw a figure laying on the ground. It was dark so it was hard to make it out. But Harry could distictly see it was a girl about his age.

He looked back at Malfoy and asked, "My girlfriend?"

"Yes, Potter, your girlfriend. That filthy want to be muggle!" Snapped Malfoy who was getting annoyed.

"Ginney!?" said Harry looking back over in shock. Now he could make out the flaming red hair on her head. Before Malfoy could react Harry ran over and pulled her unconcious body onto his lap.

"What did you do to her, Malfoy!?'' Harry screamed at him.

"Wasn't me. Honest." said Malfoy with a smile.

Harry scoffed. "Oh yeah then who was it, the neighbor next door?"

Harry felt a serge of pain go throughout his body starting and ending with his scar. He scrame from the pain it was causing him.

It was getting difficult to see. Everything was going black. He grabbed a tighter hold of Ginney as if trying to protect her. He was growing weaker with each serge of pain.

Then right before he passed out he heard laughter. It wasn't just one person in sounded like many. He held tighter to Ginney as if not to slip away...Everything went black.
