An: Well Thank you for everyone making this story their favourite and I really appreciate it.

An 2: In this chapter is basically about them getting settled down. It won't last very long and I'm sorry about the chapter being in many lines.

Diagon Alley

Amelia didn't expect to be standing outside the Leaky Cauldron but then again, she wasn't the one who had planned the apparation. She turned to Lucy with a curious smile. "Why are we outside the Leaky Cauldron?" She asked and began to tap her foot impatiently. It was a few minutes before Lucy actually replied but when she did, she seemed a lot more confident now. "Well, we need money to survive don't we and supplies. It was lucky we put those extension charms on our bags. At least now we can fill our bags with unlimited supplies." She turned to look Amelia in the face and had to acknowledge how small she actually was. Compared to Amelia, Lucy was tiny. Amelia was quite surprised how much Lucy thought about their location before stepping into the dark and dingy pub.

The pub was rather dark, even in the day time. The walls were covered in grime and were dimly lit with a few candles here and there. Some of the tables were a bit wonky and the chairs too. Even with its dirty appearance, the pub occupants were quite friendly.

Amelia and Lucy didn't stop to chat; instead they made their way to the back of the pub which was the entrance to the wizarding high street. Lucy tapped on the correct bricks and the wall began to form an archway that lead straight to Diagon Alley.

The girls first headed to Gringotts to collect a large some of galleons, sickles and Knuts but what the girls couldn't decided on was, what shop to visit first? Lucy wanted to visit Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment to see if they had sneakoscopes but Amelia argued and wanted to visit Flourish and Blotts to ask what books they had books for strong protection spells or strong defensive charms. After a few minutes of arguing, Amelia won and the girls walked along the cobbled path to the book shop.

They stepped through the threshold and Amelia breathed in the smell of books. It was a smell Amelia had appreciated over the years but this was no time for smelling books, they were on official business.

Lucy walked over to one of the store assistants while Amelia admired the many piles of books stacked high to the ceiling. When Amelia reached for Curses and Their Uses, a hand was placed over her eyes but before she could say anything, a gruff voice that she recognized too well spoke. "Guess who." He said.

Amelia turned around to find the handsome face of Jayden Grimshaw, a Ravenclaw who was in the same year as herself. She grinned and they both shared a hug for a moment. "Jayden, what are you doing here?" She asked the element of shock in her voice.

"Well, I'm going last minute shopping. What about you? I thought you and Lucy were..." He was interrupted by Amelia pulling on his arm and dragged him into a room which was full of Divination books.

"Jayden, no body knows about me and Lucy. People think we're going back to Hogwarts but we're not." She whispered making sure nobody could eavesdrop.

There was a moments silence before any of the Ravenclaws spoke. It was Jayden who finally interrupted the silence with a request. "I want to come with you."

It took Amelia a few seconds for that to sink through before she realised what he had actually said. "What? You can't come with us. Do you really want to be on the run? You're safe because you are a pure blood. The Death eaters won't be after you." She said.

"But I know the outdoors. I've been camping most of my life, I know how to survive in the outdoors; even with magic. I want to come with you, maybe I could be of use to you." He said trying to persuade the girl to let him join them.

Amelia thought logically about this request. If they had Jayden along with them, they would have someone who could survive in the woods from years of camping and it was a bit more reassuring to have a boy come along with them. After moments of careful thinking, Amelia sighed. "I guess you could come along, we would have to see if it's okay with..." A large noise was heard even in the little room that had Divination books in it.

Amelia and Jayden ran out of the room and looked around the book shop. Nothing seemed to have happened in the shop but Amelia looked out into the cobbled street to find a dust cloud hiding the path. The two Ravenclaws ran out into the street and both of them coughed before a massive force hit Amelia in the chest and pushed her backwards, causing her to fall over.

She stood up straight away and saw that the dust cloud had lessened in size. Amelia could just see through the cloud and was horrified by the sight. It was Death Eaters.

Amelia and Jayden ran back into the shop and looked for Lucy. They began to call out her name inside the shop and a faint voice replied asking for help. They ran toward the sound and found Lucy, partially unconscious under a pile of books. Jayden took out his wand and pointed it toward the books. "Reducto!" He shouted and the books became dust.

Amelia kneeled down next to Lucy and grabbed her wrist. She looked up into Jayden's eyes and saw them pleading, pleading to her. She grabbed his wrist; her stomach lurched forward and felt the soft ground underneath her feet.

The Ashdown Forest

Jayden and Amelia were kneeling in a forest clearing with little Lucy laying unconscious on the leafy forest floor. Amelia recognized the familiar scene straight away and the memories came flooding back.

"Where are we?" Jayden asked taking the backpack off Lucy's back and rummaged through it.

"East Sussex, the Ashdown Forest to be exact." Amelia said.

Whilst Lucy was still unconscious, Amelia and Jayden tended the matter of shelter and water. It was lucky for them that Amelia had packed a night's food before she left but it wasn't enough for three. They agreed that Jayden would fetch water and Amelia would set up a tent. Now this was the real problem, she hadn't set up a tent in her life but she was able to with a little help from magic. With just a flick of her wand, the tent was up and Amelia half dragged half carried Lucy inside the tent.

Lucy now lay on one of the bunk beds in the tent and Amelia was trying to cook something simple for the night. She rummaged through her own bag and took out a bag of pasta, a packet of mince meat and some sauces. Amelia immediately knew what she was going to do with these ingredients and began to boil the pasta.

Jayden was back with a few litres of clean water and was helping Amelia with the food. After a while, Jayden took over as head chef; calling Amelia useless at cooking. As much as she wanted to argue, she knew he was right; she couldn't cook to save her life.

Lucy mumbled and Amelia rushed to her side. The unconscious girl stumbled and stirred and finally woke up with a pounding head ache and her whole body in pain. "Urggh, where am I?" Lucy asked, instinctively holding her head.

"Well we're in a forest in Sussex." Amelia replied handing a cold bath flannel to her.

"Why are we in a forest? Why are we in Sussex for?" Lucy asked placing the flannel to her forehead.

Amelia thought for a minute but after mentally debating about telling Lucy or not, she decided to.

"Well, my father used to take me here when I was little, before Hogwarts. We used to trek along the country paths and this clearing was the very place where my father and I would have picnics. Sometime mother would join but that was a very rare occasion." She looked up to Lucy and smiled.

"I guess now that my dad works, he doesn't have time for trekking anymore." She put her head in her hands and sighed. Amelia loved the times when she was younger but now that her father had a much higher rank in the ministry, she spent a lot less time with him.

It was at that point when the smell of mince meat filled the tent and the girls both put their heads up for a smell.

"Dinner's done." Jayden said and finished with the final touch that was spaghetti Bolognese.

As the trio ate, nobody spoke. Until Jayden, not at all used to silences, spoke with a mouthful of spaghetti. "So, where are we heading next?" He asked.

Amelia laughed at the spaghetti hanging from Jayden's mouth and Lucy stifled a laugh. Even though Lucy wasn't a fan of bad table manners, she did find the face that Jayden was pulling quite humorous.

Three full stomachs later and everyone were rather tired but before she could sleep, Lucy pulled out her wand and went outside. Amelia was curious as to why Lucy was sat outside so instead of going to sleep, she joined the lonely Hufflepuff.

"Hey Lucy, you okay?" Amelia asked whilst watching Lucy wave her wand in complicated motions. She knew what she was doing and mentally slapped her forehead for forgetting.

"Yeah I guess. I was completely surprised about the explosion. I wonder why the death eaters were there." Lucy said taking a seat at the mouth of the tent. Amelia sat down next to her, wrapping her arms around her knees and pulling them to her chest. Amelia also wondered about why the death eaters there and shrugged.

"It should be in tomorrow's Daily Prophet." She suggested and they both looked at each other.

"Why did you bring Jayden with you?" Lucy asked. Lucy knew about the whole fling that Amelia had for Jayden and it felt weird for him to tag along. "Wouldn't it be easier for it to be just us?"

Amelia considered this for a second but only for a second. "Well I thought that if he came along, we'd feel more secure." She said.

"Don't you mean you?" Lucy interrupted. For a moment there was silence until both of the girls burst into laughter. It had been a while since both the girls had laughed so much. Maybe it was the stress of survival or that they hadn't seen each other in a week but they both couldn't stop laughing for a couple of minutes.

After a minute of persuading, Lucy took the first shift and demanded that Amelia get some sleep. Amelia smiled and as soon as her head hit the pillow, she drifted into the land of Sleep.
