"The ministry has fallen… Scrimgeour is dead. They're coming."

No sooner the message of Kingsley had arrived or people started to run around.

Hermione saw Ron and Harry an end away from her, waving at her to move on but just as she was about to run towards them the mass of people pushed her the other way until an elbow of one of them knocked her out.

Hermione woke up, looking around and noticed Molly who bowed over her, holding a wet towel against her face.

Tears were streaming down her face and she could people mumble around her.

"I can't believe they had to interrupt the wedding like that."

"So the two of them left without her?"

"We need to take immediate measures. It won't take long till…"

As soon as the people in the room noticed she had opened her eyes they became quiet.

"How are you feeling Hermione?" Molly asked looking down at her.

"I'm fine." She went to sit up straight and looked at the other people in the room.

She could recognize Tonks, Remus, Ted, Andromeda, Arthur, Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Ginny the twins and Molly who were all sitting down at extra chairs that came out of the kitchen.

Ron and Harry were nowhere to be found.

As if she could guess what she was going to ask Molly answered her question.

"They couldn't stay honey. The dead eaters were there and if they did…"

"… than the whole plan would've fallen to pieces. I understand."

If the dead eaters had seen Ron than his decoy of the ghoul in pyjamas would be completely useless and if Harry had been caught by the dead eaters… Well she could see how staying wasn't an option.

Something heavy fell of the sofa and Hermione looked at it, horror struck her as she recognized it.

"What is it?" Ginny asked immediately.

"Our luggage." Hermione answered picking up the small bag from the floor. "Everything we needed for the trip in order to succeed."

She didn't noticed the shocked faces instead she just stared at it.

"I'm sure that maybe they'll return for it when things get safer." Remus answered reassuring his wife by squeezing in her hand. "There are more threatening things now. A few of them which concern you as well Hermione."

Hermione nodded. "I'm muggle born."

Ted suddenly looked up. "I'm planning to hide, travel over the country and so… if you want you can come with me. It won't be easy but…"

Hermione looked back at the bag. She didn't want to run, not as long as there was a chance that Harry and Ron might return.

"Absolutely not Ted! You will not run anywhere?"

"Dromeda! If I stay I bring you, Dora and her little tot in danger! I won't have that!"

"Dad, I can take care you know. Mum can't take care of her own if you leave."

Ted remained in silence again and Remus just stared blankly ahead of him, obviously deep in thought.

Nobody noticed Fred looking at Hermione, she looked horrible, not ugly but her dress had been torn at some places and her hair was a mess, dirt was spread all over her, not to mention the expression she had on her face as she looked at the small bag in her hands.

This was nothing compared to what would still lay for her in the future if she didn't find a solution fast because she would be one of the first muggles to be called to the ministry.

"She can hide at our place." He suddenly blurted out without even considering the consequences.

"Nobody will expect her to be there at all places and houses of the order where she could hide. If you need proof of that than just look at the fact that our house was the only one that hadn't been attacked by any dead eaters. Plus, if Harry and Ron arrive (I'm sure that she will want to stay in case that happens) she's only a patronus and an apparition away."

"Not to mention the fact that we have a lovely cellar we don't use but with the necessary charms we can turn it into a perfect bedroom. I don't even think anyone knows about it." George came to his brother's aid.

"Just like Anne Frank." Hermione mumbled. She had to read the diary in primary school.

"Who?" Everybody looked up at her except for Ted.

"Muggle." He said remembering it as well. "She lived at the same time as World War two. She was Jewish which was kind of just as bad as being muggle born right now. Let's just hope that this story won't end the same way."

He got up from his chair and left the room followed by Remus who came behind him.
