The castle floor echoed with each step I took towards Uncles office.

As always, the summer was a dreadful time for me. Hermione and I did see each other a couple of times, but not nearly as much as I would have liked.

"Caldron Cakes."

The stairs to Uncles office reveal themselves as I walk up carefully.

"You wanted to see me?" Hagrid had come found me telling me that my uncle was looking for me.

"I'm afraid we've run into a bit of trouble my dear." I immediately stand straight up at the words. "What trouble?" Uncle sighs as he takes a seat by his desk. "Harry was attacked."

The words make my stomach drop. "Attacked? By who?" I walk to his side. "Dementors." I look at him carefully, trying to read his facial expressions. "Well is he alright?" Worry engulfed my body. "Yes he is alright, but the ministry to trying to expel him for the use of underage magic."

"Underage magic? Was he just trying to protect himself." I asked curiously. "Yes, that's all he was trying to do. I have convinced the ministry to abide him a hearing. In the mean time I need you to go somewhere for next couple of days. A safe place." The lump in my throat began to swell. "Are you saying Hogwarts isn't safe?" My Uncle didn't respond, answering my question.

"Pack some of your things, we leave first thing tomorrow morning."

That night I couldn't sleep. My bed felt as if I were laying on rocks, and I just simply could not get comfortable.

I woke up early that morning, taking a shower quickly and then dressing for the day. I wasn't sure who was going to be there, but I hoped I would see my three friends very soon.

"Ready my dear?" I walked towards my uncle as I held my bag. "Always."

I squeeze my eyes shut as the tight feeling of apparating fills my stomach. We land unsteady almost causing me to fall over. I look up to see we are in front of an apartment complex, and I eye my uncle.

He smiles at me, waving his wand as the walls begin to fold against each other. I stare in amazement at the new building in front of us. I gave my Uncle a hug as we said our goodbyes quickly.
