"Ron, where are you?"
As they pushed their way...
"Ron, where are you?"
As they pushed their way across the dance floor, Harry saw cloaked and masked figures appearing in the crowd; then he saw Lupin and Tonks, their wands raised, and heard both of them shout, "\iProtego!\i", a cry that was echoed on all sides -
"Ron! Ron!" Hermione called, half sobbing as she and Harry were buffered by terrified guests: Harry seized her hand to make sure they weren't separated as a streak of light whizzed over their heads, whether a protective charm or something more sinister he did not know -
And then Ron was thereHe caught hold of Hermione's free arm, and Harry felt her turn on the spot; sight and sound were extinguished as darkness pressed in upon him; all he could feel was Hermione's hand as he was squeezed through space and time, away from the Burrow, away from the descending Death Eaters, away, perhaps, from Voldemort himself
"Where are we?" said Ron's voice
Harry opened his eyesFor a moment he thought they had not left the wedding after all; They still seemed to be surrounded by people
"Tottenham Court Road," panted Hermione"Walk, just walk, we chanel jewelry online need to find somewhere for you to change
Harry did as she askedThey half walked, half ran up the wide dark street thronged with late-night revelers and lined with closed shops, stars twinkling above themA double-decker bus rumbled by and a group of merry pub-goers ogled them as they passed; Harry and Ron were still wearing dress robes
"Hermione, we haven't got anything to change into," Ron told her, as a young woman burst into raucous giggles at the sight of him
"Why didn't I make sure I had the Invisibility Cloak with me?" said Harry, inwardly cursing his own stupidity"All last year I kept it on me and -"
"It's okay, I've got the Cloak, I've got clothes for both of you," said Hermione, "Just try and act naturally until - this will do
She led them down a side street, then into the shelter of a shadowy alleyway
"When you say you've got the Cloak, and clothes said Harry, frowning at Hermione, who was carrying nothing except her small beaded handbag, in which she was now rummaging
"Yes, they're here," said Hermione, and to Harry and Ron's utter astonishment, she pulled out a pair of jeans, a black chanel quilted bag sweatshirt, some maroon socks, and finally the silvery Invisibility Cloak
"How the ruddy hell - ?"
"Undetectable Extension Charm," said Hermione"Tricky, but I think I've done it okay; anyway, I managed to fit everything we need in here She gave the fragile-looking bag a little shake and it echoed like a cargo hold as a number of heavy objects rolled around inside it"Oh, damn, that'll be the books," she said, peering into it, "and I had them all stacked by subjectHarry, you'd better take the Invisibility CloakRon, hurry up and change
"When did you do all this?" Harry asked as Ron stripped off his robes
"I told you at the Burrow, I've had the essentials packed for days, you know, in case we needed to make a quick getawayI packed your rucksack this morning, Harry, after you changed, and put it in here
"You're amazing, you are," said Ron, handing her his bundled-up robes
"Thank you," said Hermione, managing a small smile as she pushed the robes into the bag"Please, Harry, get that Cloak on!"
Harry threw his Invisibility Cloak around his shoulders and pulled it up over his head, vanishing from gucci men wallet sightHe was only just beginning to appreciate what had happened
"The others - everybody at the wedding -"
"We can't worry about that now," whispered Hermione"It's you they're after, Harry, and we'll just put everyone in even more danger by going back
"She's right," said Ron, who seemed to know that Harry was about to argue, even if he could not see his face"Most of the Order was there, they'll look after everyone
Harry nodded, then remembered that they could not see him, and said, "Yeah But he thought of Ginny, and fear bubbled like acid in his stomach
"Come on, I think we ought to keep moving," said Hermione
They moved back up the side street and onto the main road again, where a group of men on the opposite side was singing and weaving across the pavement
"Just as a matter of interest, why Tottenham Court Road?" Ron asked Hermione
"I've no idea, it just popped into my head, but I'm sure we're safer out in the Muggle world, it's not where they'll expect us to be
"True," said Ron, looking around, "but don't you feel a bit - exposed?"
"Where else is there?" asked Hermione, cringing as the knock off tiffany jewelry men on the other side of the road started wolf-whistling at her"We can hardly book rooms at the Leaky Cauldron, can we? And Grimmauld Place is out if Snape can get in thereI suppose we could try my parents' home, though I think there's a chance they might check thereOh, I wish they'd shut up!"
"All right, darling?" the drunkest of the men on the other pavement was yelling"Fancy a drink? Ditch ginger and come and have a pint!"
"Let's sit down somewhere," Hermione said hastily as Ron opened his mouth to shout back across the road"Look, this will do, in here!"
