Ginny Weasley stepped out into the grand foyer of 'The Northern Lights Inn' in St. Petersburg and the first thing she noticed was the ceiling was enchanted to show the northern lights. She looked around in awe of the place. Mostly decked out in antiques the place gave off at first a very aristocratic air that Ginny immediately disliked. She much preferred the Inn near Diagon Alley 'The Leaky Cauldron' because it was a place that felt more comfortable.
Narcissa advanced to the desk at once and secured them rooms for the night. A man in a uniform came around and took their things up to their rooms while the four went into the small lounge for breakfast. Ginny noticed a formal table with everything you could ask for on a breakfast menu and helped herself, as did the others. As they were having breakfast there was small talk among them but mostly it was subdued.
After breakfast they went to the room McGonagall was staying in and made their plans. They would aparate to the Moscow Museum at eleven that night and make a quick entry to the museum but Ginny had a different idea. "Why not go during the day. We wouldn't have to be that close to the things on display to cast the charm Hermoine showed me how to do to see if any of the artifacts are the Horicrux. And if they aren't we can go to our next destination." She reasoned and the others could find no flaw in the plan.
"Very well Miss Weasley but we wont be able to get in legally till ten." McGonagall said.
"We could do a bit of early morning site seeing before the museum opens." Suggested Flintwick.
"Yes I suppose it wouldn't hurt." McGonagall said reluctantly.
"We'll need to be able to blend in a bit more though." Narcissa said and did a small charm on her clothes that turned them into a smart two-piece woman's business suit and did the same with McGonagall and Ginny.
"Ah I have just the thing." Flintwick said and charmed his clothes to a smart black business suit that fit perfectly on his small frame.
The four left the Inn and then proceeded down the street and turned into the first alleyway. McGonagall held out her arm for Ginny and she grabbed hold and felt that strange feeling of Aparation.

Harry, wind whipping his hair every which way, heard Snape tell them to let go and as he jerked his hand back he felt himself falling and quickly recited a spell and he suddenly righted himself and floated down gently beside the rest onto a small beach that was still dark.
Draconian took out his want and a piece of parchment and lit the tip of his wand in the moonlight. Harry looked up and saw a half moon and sighed in relief and noticed that Remus was doing the same and they smiled at each other turning to look at the piece of parchment that the others were looking at.
Harry noticed that what Draconian held was a map which included the island they were on. A line of dots stretched out from where the lighthouse on the point was to about what Harry guessed to be about twenty miles and ended in an 'X' and chuckled. "X marks the spot eh?" he said to Draco who smirked.
"Actually Harry 'X' doesn't mark the spot. It just marks one of the clues to the whereabouts of the temple of Osirus." Snape said. "We'll need a boat Remus."
Remus nodded and stepped forward leading the way while everyone fell in behind him. They walked down the beach into the night heading toward what Harry saw were the hotels and boat docks down the way. When they were passing the hotels Harry saw a group with scuba tanks and going toward the beach. "Their going scuba diving at night?" Harry asked.
Luna came up beside him. "Yes some of the aquamarine life is nocturnal just like the some of the wildlife and magical creatures that you see on land." She said. "After my second year dad took me on a trip to find the saber-toothed shark."
