"And where exactly do you plan on going?" Mcgonagall asked.

"Professor, please. It's important. We wouldn't be leaving if it wasn't." Addilyn pleaded.

"Professor, it's true. We have to figure out what's happening with Addilyn and her family." George said.

Mcgonagall hesitated, but nodded.

Addilyn smiled at the professor and stepped into the fireplace.

George grabbed a handful of floopowder and stepped into the fireplace after Addilyn.

They both yelled the name of a store that wasn't too far from Annabelle's house, hoping it wasn't creepy.

When they stumbled out of the fireplace, George caught Addilyn before she fell to the floor, causing a ruckus of noise.

"Thanks." Addilyn whispered.

George nodded, picking her up and walking towards the door. Addilyn followed and looked out the window next to the door. 

"There's no one out there. Now would be our chance." Addilyn said.

"I don't see anyone out there either. You think we should stay here overnight and go tomorrow morning?" George said.

"No, they'll be more willing to tell us now than in the morning." Addilyn told him.

George nodded, grabbing Addilyn's hand and opening the door slowly.

George was halfway out the door when Addilyn saw a light turn on up the stairs. Then, she heard footsteps. Addilyn pushed George all the way out and ran out herself. 

"What was that for?" George asked.

"Go, now. Around the corner!" Addilyn whisper yelled.

George ran around the corner of the building, Addilyn following quickly behind.

They heard the door open, and saw a woman walk out.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The old woman said.

"Ma'am." Addilyn said, slowly walking out with her hands raised.

"Stop right there!" The woman said.

"We mean no harm. We accidentally used the floo network and got sent to your house. I'm so sorry." Addilyn said.

"We?" The woman said.

Addilyn turned around, and George was nowhere to be seen.

"George?" Addilyn said.

No response.

"Again, I'm sorry ma'am. But I must be going." Addilyn said.

The woman nodded, walking back into her house.

Addilyn ran down the alley, to see someone standing a good distance away.

"George, you scared me. I thought I lost you out here." Addilyn said.

He turned around, and was smiling widely.

"What is it?" Addilyn said.

"That." George said.

Addilyn looked over to where he was pointing, to see a giant manor. 

"That must be it." They said.

They walked up to the manor, stopping at the gates.

"Do you think they're home?" George said.

"I would assume so. Where else would they be?" Addilyn said.
