Chapter Seven: Plan

….

Plan:

1. A scheme, program, or method worked out beforehand for the accomplishment of an objective.

2. A proposed or tentative project or course of action.

3. A systematic arrangement of elements or important parts; a configuration or outline.

…

Hermione Jane Granger had always done what a teacher told her to do. Never in her life had she deliberately gone out of her way to disobey one, no matter how much she disliked certain teachers. She broke school rules, yes, but never went against the words of teachers. Until now.

Hermione had watched Harry suffer for too long, she saw through Harry's façade of 'The Boy-Who-Lived' and what she saw worried her. Because when one actually took the time to really, and she meant really see, you would see a broken boy.

When Hermione had fully learnt the extent to Harry's abuse she sobbed into her pillow at the injustice that Harry had suffered. She cried for the fact that Harry would never get his lost childhood back. And she cried for the fact that Harry had to suffer under some pathetic prophecy that could be taken differently in a number of ways.

Hermione had never really hated any of her teachers, even Severus Snape, even one of her primary school teachers who was absolutely awful. She respected their authority too much to fully hate them. But as with everyone Hermione had an exception. And her exception was Albus Dumbledore.

Hermione felt a sense of rage overcome her whenever she thought of the man. She detested him for what he did, and was doing to Harry.

So that's when Hermione developed her plan. She wanted Harry to escape the prison that Dumbledore had locked him in. Hermione thought it was horribly cruel for Dumbledore to lock Harry away in Grimmauld Place; it was as though Dumbledore was mocking Harry with the fact that his Godfather was gone.

Hermione knew that Harry would go stir crazy in the Black ancestral home and she knew about his correspondence with Blaine (who else would've persuaded him to get into contact). So Hermione braced herself for talking with Dumbledore.

….

"Professor Dumbledore, Sir" Hermione greeted, as she flooed into his office.

Dumbledore nodded his greeting "Miss Granger" he gestured towards the seat in front of his desk and gave the girl his full attention "In your letter you said you wanted to talk about Harry"

Hermione nodded "Yes Sir. I want to talk about the fact that Harry might be going a bit stir crazy by himself and I'm worried for him" Hermione stated as she tried to avoid looking Dumbledore in the eye. She knew he performed Legilimus, like she knew his lemon drops were laced with a mild truth serum.

"I assure you Miss Granger he is perfectly fine where he is."

"I'm not asking you to move him Sir, I'm just asking you to allow him to go out for a day, otherwise Harry will just resent everyone for restricting his freedom"

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes slightly at the girl; he could see the dig at him as plain as day.

"Harry is there for his safety"

Hermione restrained herself from rolling her eyes, that line never got old with the elderly Wizard.

"Yes I understand that Sir, but Harry's safety doesn't need to be compromised. You can let an Auror be his guard when he goes out" Hermione was not going to back down.

Dumbledore let out a sigh "You're not going to let this matter drop, are you" It was worded as a statement rather than a question.

"No, Sir. Not when it comes to my best friend's mental health" Hermione stated as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Fine, I will allow Harry to go out to Diagon Alley for a 'day of freedom"

Hermione sensed the air quotes surrounding the last few words, and her eyes narrowed. Dumbledore didn't actually see what he was doing was wrong. Well she'd have to work on that. By the time she was through Dumbledore will be punished.

Hermione plastered on a smile "Thank you ever so much Professor Dumbledore, Harry will appreciate it so much" She swept over to the floo and whisked herself away to her home.

She calmly steeped out of the fireplace and smiled when she saw Tonks there.

"He's going to allow Harry to go out to Diagon Alley. You need to make sure you're the Auror guarding Harry"

"I will don't worry, I may be clumsy but I'm one of the best Auror's around" Tonks stated as she took her leave wanting to be in the office when Dumbledore called.

….

Tonks was at her desk filling out paperwork when her fireplace flared green. She dropped her quill and spun her chair so it was facing the fireplace.

Dumbledore stepped out of the grate and Tonks put a look of surprise on her face.

"Professor Dumbledore Sir! Is something wrong?" She questioned as she bounced out of her chair and stumbled over to the master manipulator.

Dumbledore smiled gently at the Auror. He could always count on his loyal followers to greet him warmly.

"Ah hello Nymphadora, glad I caught you. I'm in need of a favor"

"Dumbledore please call me Tonks!" She pleaded; she hated her name with a passion. "Sure, what do you want me to do?" She chirped as she looked up at the elderly Wizard. 'Damn that height difference'.

"Well, I was wondering if you were able to accompany Harry out on a little excursion to Diagon Alley"

"Sure, I'll be Harry to take the little guy out! When do you need me to take him?"

"Tomorrow morning, you can pick him up at ten. Also I want you to go to Gringotts and enquire about their opinion on joining the light side"

Dumbledore then swept out of her office in a flurry of robes.

As soon as she was certain he had left, she whipped out her mobile and quickly sent a text of to Hermione.

…

'It's on'

Hermione smiled as she read the text, Harry will soon have the freedom he deserves.

…..

"See you later Harry" Tonks happily said as she watched him enter side room.

"Enjoy yourself Harry" She whispered to herself as she went over to the head Goblin. This was going to be a completely pointless task. She knew, they knew it. The Goblin's will remain neutral.

Tonks clocked Harry's position as soon as he left the room, she didn't make it obvious that she had seen him however and smiled to herself as she saw Harry run out of the bank. She bid good day to the Goblin and followed Harry, making sure he left unnoticed. She disguised herself as a teenaged boy and watched as Harry slipped into the muggle world.

…

Tonks burst into Dumbledore's office in false panic and skidded to a halt in front of his desk.

"Professor Dumbledore Sir. Harry's gone!" She exclaimed as she breathed heavily, making it seem as though she had run all the way to his office. He didn't need to know that she stopped for ice-cream and had a chat with the Weasley Twins.

Dumbledore's face went slack with shock and his eyes rounded in alarm. He stood up from his seat and rounded his desk to face the young Auror. "What do you mean, he's gone?" He exclaimed as he towered over the pink haired women.

"He's gone! I was talking to the Goblin's like you asked and I assumed Harry was getting out some money, but when I went to go get him, the Goblin already told me he left! I spent hours searching the Alley for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere" She exclaimed dramatically and pretended to hyperventilate.

Dumbledore pushed her down into a chair and swirled round to Fawkes. He whispered something to the bird and the phoenix left the office in a burst of flames.

Soon the office was flooded with the Order of the Phoenix and the whole of the Weasley family.

"Headmaster, what is the matter now" Severus drawled as his eyes swept the room, taking in Tonks' fake shock and Dumbledore's anger.

When he was sure everyone was here he took sat down, heavily in his chair.

"I have some worrying news to tell you all. Harry Potter has gone missing"

Severus and a few other members of the Order covered their ears as the following outburst was enough to deafen a giant.

"WHAT!"

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP HIM SAFE!"

"HOW DID HE GO MISSING?"

"SILENCE" Dumbledore shouted and watched as everyone fell quiet, a tense silence seemed to echo around the room.

"Nymphadora took him out today to Diagon Alley. While she was discussing a matter of importance with the Goblin's, Harry left the bank. Tonks assured me that she looked for him all over the Alley, but she was unable to find him"

Hermione jumped out of her seat in anger "You left it too late Dumbledore! You kept him in that prison until he snapped and now look at what has happened! Harry's gone and it's your entire fault!" She yelled at the Headmaster and had tears streaming down her face. She did not have to act.

"Miss Granger!" Minerva McGonagall exclaimed on shock. Most of the room shared her shock, as Hermione had never before yelled at a teacher.

"No, Minerva she has every right to be upset, her friend is missing and she's merely taking it out on the closest target"

Everyone looked at Hermione when she snorted "I'm taking it out on the right person. I know what you have done to Harry Professor, don't think I don't." She spat out as she stepped glared at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's eyes briefly widened in shock, before he quickly schooled his features into a look of confusion.

"Miss Granger, I have no idea what you're talking about my dear"

"Yes you do. I've had enough of following you blindly. You are even worse than Voldemort. At least you know what you're getting into with him. But with you, you use deceit and your grandfather façade to hide who you truly are; a horrible, corrupt bastard who likes playing God!"

"Miss Granger, don't speak to the Headmaster that way" Minerva McGonagall exclaimed as she told Hermione off, but the girl just shrugged it off.

Everyone in the room watched the angry teen in shock; they couldn't take their eyes off the display of anger and disgust.

"You shoved Harry away when he was barely a year old, you knew about the abuse he suffered at the hands of his so called family, you kept sending him back, year after year ignoring his pleas for help! And then you expect him to save you! You only talk to Harry when it suits you, you don't care at all about him, all you see is a weapon to help you gain more power than you already have"

Before anyone had the chance to speak Hermione ploughed on.

"Harry had the right idea in leaving! I hope he's finally happy where ever he is now. It looks like the star puppet has cut his strings from the master puppeteer. How does it feel 'master' to have one less puppet to play with hmm?" Hermione smiled mockingly at the Headmaster, nearly laughing at the look on his face. Her chest was heaving and her face was flushed red.

"You know what consider it two less puppets. I no longer want to take part in this so called 'Order' as I do not wish to follow a sadistic old man who makes others suffer" She stormed out of the office leaving silence in her wake.

As one the people in the room turned to Dumbledore in disbelief, questions in their eyes.

"Dumbledore, is it true?" Molly Weasley asked, her voice quivering.

When Dumbledore took too long to answer she cried out in shock "I knew something went on in that house, I could see it every time I saw him. But you said you'd handle it! That poor, poor boy" Molly started sobbing and her husband pulled her into his arms, shaking his head in disgust at what the Headmaster had done.

Ron stood up "Well Dumbledore, consider it three less puppets. I've lost all respect for you" Ron spat out in disgust and swept out of the office, hurrying to catch Hermione up. Now Ron knew that something wasn't quite right with Harry's home life and he knew that Dumbledore was lying to Harry, he just didn't realize the extent of abuse that Harry had suffered at the hands of Dumbledore and his relatives.

He sprinted down the flight of stone stairs and saw Hermione heading towards the entrance to the castle.

"Hermione, wait up!" He yelled and smiled in relief as he saw her stop and turn around.

He skidded to a halt in front of her and swept her up into a hug "Hermione, you kicked arse up there! I mean bloody hell; I never knew you had it in you"

Hermione rested her head on Ron's shoulder and squeezed him back, laughing in relief that she had Ron by her side.

"Oi, Hermione!" When said girl looked up to face him Ron continued "Why didn't you tell me about your plan to get Harry to escape?" He looked indignant and Hermione couldn't stop the sigh that escaped her lips.

She leant up and locked her eyes with Ron's "Oh, Ron. You can't keep a secret to save your life".

…

"So, are we going to go and join Harry?" Ron asked from his position of the floor of Hermione's lounge.

"No not yet. I want him to settle in first, plus Dumbledore's probably got tracking devices on us. We'll have to wait until we turn seventeen"

Ron suddenly sat up "But Hermione, I don't turn seventeen until March, you know that"

Hermione tapped her chin in thought "Hmm, but I can remove the trace from you when I turn seventeen in September"

"Or, we can help!"

"Bloody Hell! Warn a man would ya?" Ron exclaimed as Fred and George stepped into the room.

"A man?"

"I don't see a man Forge, do you?"

"No I don't Gred"

The Twins made a show of looking around the room, smirking when Ron glared at them. Hermione just giggled.

"Lay off will you" He grumbled as he crossed his arms, refusing to look at his older brothers.

Fred leant down and pinched Ron's cheek "Aww Gred I think we've offended ickle Ronnie!"

George pinched Ron's other cheek "I think you're right Forge, poor Ronnie!"

Ron slapped their hands away and moved behind Hermione, causing the Twins to burst out laughing.

Hermione just rolled her eyes, smiling at their antics.

"You said something about the trace" She said pointedly as she stood up from her place of the sofa.

The Twins sobered "Why yes we did-"

"You see, as we are of age-"

"We can cloak you as it were-"

"To prevent people from tracking you!" They exclaimed as one.

"Cloak us? OH, I remember reading about that. It's borderline dark magic; it was a very popular spell years and years ago. Apparently when one is cloaked, you practically become invisible to other wizards and witches, it hides your magical signature, preventing others from finding you! Oh you two are geniuses" She exclaimed as she leaned up and kissed them each on the cheek in excitement.

Ron frowned at the display "Okay, so we've figured out how to prevent others from following us, but how do we find Harry?"

Hermione stopped smiling "Drat, all I know is that he is somewhere in America"

"And there's the spanner" The Twins stated in unison.

"Spanner? What's a spanner?" Ron asked as he looked around the room in confusion.

"Well, I'm looking at one now" Fred muttered to George.
