Chapter 3

+. Disappeared

—————

Harry's sleep was interrupted by Ron's pathetic yells and laughs. He's probably being pranked by the twins. Fred and George love pranking their brother Ron because Ron gives them a beautiful reaction every time they try their collections with him.

After seconds of staring at the ceiling, he finally decided to get up. Harry does his morning routines before he gets outside his room, exactly on time before they have their breakfast.

Living with Weasleys is one of the best decisions he made. He was once invited to live at Grimmauld Place but he refused. He'll probably be sad, that was Black's residence and serves as headquarters of the Order and the Phoenix, many memories, manly sad. So he decided not to live in it besides, he'll live alone in there.

"Harry, we'll go at one pm today," Hermione informed after they finished eating.

"Okay, " Harry said.

Hermione was the one who told Molly what and where they are going, she then, wished them well.

Ron wanted to join but the twins made him remembered his responsibilities as their brother, Ron groaned but agreed. He needs a better future. If he's not going to make it to become an Auror at least he has a possible job in his brother's shop.

After small chitchats with the family, Harry started to ready his things, same with Hermione.

At exactly 12:30 in the afternoon, they made their way to the muggle world. It didn't take long for them to arrive at Granger's front door.

The street was a four-point cross of roads with houses along each side of the roads, at the top of the street was a church.

Hermione became concerned when they tried to knock three times but no one answered, making her grip Harry's left bicep with slight force. Harry started to worry as well.

After a few seconds, Harry attempted to open the doorknob, and to his surprise, it moved. Hermione's stunned expression fixed on the doorknob, which she aggressively turned.

They entered an empty house.

Hermione stared at the space, tears starting to flow in her eyes, she doesn't know what to do nor where to start.

She suddenly remembers her life when she's just a kid, her mom's advice, and her dad spoiling her with sweets every day after work. She can still remember her mom's favorite line when her dad gives her sweets.

"Don't forget to brush your teeth or you'll end up without them."

Hermione touched the floor, sensing her parents' footsteps even though the floor was shiny and had no footprints or shoe prints.

She then stands up and goes to her former room, reminiscing every memory of the room given to her. She can still remember every night when her parents used to read her bedtime stories, her favorite was about mermaids. She liked the idea of a pretty woman with a tail.

Harry, on the other hand, lets her wonder in her house. He gives her privacy, he patiently waiting in the living room, staring at the doors, ceilings, walls, floors, everything he can stare of. Examining, memorizing.

Seconds passed, minutes passed, hours passed still no Hermione.  Harry became concerned and went through every door Hermione stalked in, only to find a sleeping lady on the floor, her cheeks filled with tears.

Harry rushed in Hermione's direction, staring at her for a minute before Harry gently taps Hermione's shoulder, waking her.

Hermione's questioning face was the first reaction, Harry had seen before she sits down and looked around. She instantly remembered where she is and what she's doing because tears are flowing again down her tears, this time, Harry didn't let her cry and feels alone, he hugged Hermione and caressed her back.
