“ARRRGH! I need to do something! I've been cooped up doing nothing but homework, and Ron's been ill. I have seen no one but the illustrations in my texts with the exceptions of meals. Well, not entirely true. 95% of the variance in my not seeing Ron is homework. The other five percent is the fact that I do not want to get sick. And it's not like I can go out somewhere because the scum in Azkaban have found a way out. I'm going to go batty in a minute!” Hermione thought at a mile a minute.

Hermione got up and ran down the stairs to Ginny’s room.

“Ginny I’m going insane, can we go flying out in the backyard, go down to the village, or do something? I just need to get away from my books. If Ron's well enough, he and Harry can come along, or it can just be a girl's outing. But please tell me we can escape!” She pleaded to Ginny, her hands running through her hair as if ready to tear it out.

Ginny looked at Hermione as though she might be mad, as was the case, "Sure, I mean, I'm not doing anything important. Thumbing through some wedding...things," Ginny added, getting up, "my vote's for flying or the village."

“Alright!” Hermione hugged Ginny. “I've never actually walked through your town. I mean, it's probably like any other muggle area, but I think we should go see it.” Hermione paused for a moment. “Should we bring the boys or no?”

Ginny hugged her back and gave a grin, "You haven't? The situation must be corrected as soon as possible.” She thought for a moment. “Well...we could bring them if they'd want to go, I suppose. But it would depend on what we'd do if they'd want to."

“Is Ron even well enough to go? I don't want him to collapse or get worse because I forced him to over-exert himself.” She mused softly.

"I'm not sure, but I think so. He expressed an interest in getting out of the house and getting some fresh air this morning." Ginny replied with a shrug.

“I'll go see if he's ok to go. Would you like to go find Harry?' Hermione went back up the narrow stairs to Ron's room, knocked on the door, opened it and leaned against the door.

“Ron? You think you're well enough to go for a walk? I'm going stir crazy so Ginny's taking me to see the village. Would you like to come?'

"Uh, absolutely. When are you guys going? Because I'll need to shower before I can leave the house. I'm sure I look like a bloody mess," he said, sitting up in bed.

“You're not awful looking, but go on and shower. It'll help you feel better.” She said and planted a kiss on his forehead before heading back to Ginny. “Ron's in; he's going to take a shower first.” The two girls descended the stair case to the kitchen to wait for Ron to get done.

When they reached the kitchen an owl was waiting for Hermione when she came down stairs.

Bellatrix has found a way to retrieve the Black Family Fortune. Grimmauld Place is no longer safe.

Hermione looked at the owl bewildered. “Oh no!” She screamed. “Ginny! Where's your Mum and Dad, we have a situation!' She thrust the note under Ginny’s nose. “What do we do?”

Molly was just coming in from the garden when she heard Hermione scream. "What's wrong, dear?" she asked, trying to read over Ginny's shoulder.

“Number 12 isn't safe! I know it's an anonymous tip, but I don’t think this something to be taken lightly.” She said trying to keep the panic out of her voice. “Does anyone know if Kreacher has been talking with Bellatrix?” Hermione looked around the kitchen, not really certain what she was looking for. “Where’s Harry? I think he needs to bring Kreacher here.”

"Trust me dear, no one will take this lightly," Molly said. "I'll put them on watch over at Number Twelve. We set up a second headquarters last year because we were afraid something like this might happen...but perhaps counter measures can be taken." With that Molly, hustled off to her room where she had more efficient ways of contacting the Order.
