The Prewett Girl

Travels Begin

On July 5th the front yard of the Burrow is covered with Weasleys saying goodbye to me.

"I'll be back for the World Cup." I say, hugging Ginny.

"That's over a month away." Molly says. I just smile and hug her.

"Thank you for everything."

"We'd do it again. We are so proud of you, Andrea Prewett." Molly says, taking my hands.

"See you lot in a a month and a half." I tell them and then apparate to the ministry. I pull on my robes and enter the building.

When I get to the Department of Mysteries I find Myron in an argument with Lucius Malfoy.

"Are you quite sure that's wise?" Malfoy hisses.

"With all due respect, Mr. Malfoy, I am the Head of the Department of Mysteries and the Unspeakable. I stand by my choices." Myron says, thrusting a bag at Malfoy that I don't doubt contains money.

"Myron, think of the repercussions should someone find out that you hired a little girl and then gave her free rein of her studies."

"You are disgusting, Malfoy. You are so obsessed with trying to make things hard on the Weasleys that you stalked what ministry resources the Unspeakables use and try to guess their needs for such items just to-as usual-come to the wrong conclusion."

"And I'm not even a Weasley. Are you ready, Myron?" I interrupt.

"Quite." He says, still eyeing Malfoy.

"Mr. Malfoy." I say politely before following Myron through the mysterious doorway.

The door closes behind us to leave a dark room lit by green lanterns and several unmarked doors. As soon as the door closes the doors spun in a circle so they were all jumbled.

"Okay, what?" I ask of Myron.

"It's to confuse those that don't belong here. It's quite easy to find the correct doorway. Traveling room." Myron says. The doors spin again before stopping with one door in front of us slightly glowing gold.

"Cool." I say with a smile, following Myron through the door. The room is full of knapsacks of all shapes and sizes with a large table down the middle. Myron browses the wall before picking up a medium sized knapsack and handing it to me.

"You'll find everything you could possibly need inside including a medical kit for everything from the simple to the extreme injury; for the even more extreme there's a portkey that is passcode activated that will take you to St. Mungos. The passcode is St. Mungos." He says and I give an impressed look as I open it to find that it's bottomless. I look up at him with a monotone face. "We have appearances to keep up with the muggles."

I chuckle as I put my school bag, which has an Undetectable Expansion charm of its own on it, in the knapsack.

"Now, your traveling fund pays for food as there is a tent in there for housing." Myron says, going to the far wall and picking out a box from 'year trip'. He opens it to show muggle money from each country I plan to travel to with wizarding money on the bottom rack.

"Thorough."

"We've learned through the years." He says with a shrug. "How do you plan to continue Moonstone while traveling, if I can ask?"

"There are apothecaries everywhere. I have quite the supplies for it with me now anyway to start me off and sent in a large supply yesterday."

"Are you planning to start selling them in different countries while out and about?" He asks curiously and I nod.
