"Harry, you must eat more!" Said Lilly and molly said "your much to thin, eat up!"
"I'm not hungry!" Said harry, they had had a break from the memories to eat but the trio weren't eating enough for the adults taste.

"You to, Ron and Hermione" said James.
"If we can see your ribs your to thin" said Remus.
"You as well, Sirius, you'll still to thin!" Said Tonks. Sirius spluttered.
"I've been dead!" He protested.
"And your still to thin from Azkaban" James said.

Molly, Arthur and Lilly where pushing food towards the trio, who were glaring heatedly at it.
"We're not hungry" the trio said.
"Just a bit more, you have to get used to it slowly! Sirius was like that after Azkaban. Your used to hardly eating anything, gradually build up" Remus said.
Reluctantly, the trio ate a sandwich before the group jumped into the memory.

And then Ron was there. He caught hold of Hermione's free arm, and Harry felt her turn on the spot; sight and sound were extinguished as darkness pressed in upon him; all he could feel was Hermione's hand as he was squeezed through space and time, away from the Burrow, away from the descending Death Eaters, away, perhaps, from Voldemort himself. . .

"Thank Merlin," everyone breathed, deflating with relief.

"And now we don't hear from you for months," Ginny sighed - that had been torture for her.

"Sorry" the trio winced.

"You could've been dead" whimpered Ginny.

"Where are we?" said Ron's voice.

"Yeah. Where are you?" Asked James.

Harry opened his eyes. For a moment he thought they had not left the wedding after all; They still seemed to be surrounded by people.

"Tottenham Court Road," panted Hermione. "Walk, just walk, we need to find somewhere for you to change."

"Good," Bill said. "You'll be safer in the Muggle world. No one will know you there"

"They won't expect you to be there," Neville nodded in agreement.

Harry flinched and Ginny squeezed his hand comfortingly. They could always find him.

"Let's sit down somewhere," Hermione said hastily as Ron opened his mouth to shout back across the road. "Look, this will do, in here!"

"Yes, out of the streets " Remus nodded.

It was a small and shabby all-night café. A light layer of grease lay on all the Formica-topped tables,

but it was at least empty. Harry slipped into a booth first and Ron sat next to him opposite Hermione, who had her back to the entrance and did not like it: She glanced over her shoulder so frequently she appeared to have a twitch.

"That's really suspicious," lilly commented.

"I couldn't help it," Hermione admitted. "I was on edge"

his hands returning to their usual length and shape. He pulled his glasses out of his pocket and put them on again.

"Hermione had everything we needed in the little bag she's holding," Harry chuckled.

"Almost" said Ron under his breath.

"Undetectable extension charm," Hermione said. "Remus taught me it during the summer." Hermione smiled at Remus

After a minute or two, Ron said, "You know, we're not far from the Leaky Cauldron here, it's only in Charing Cross –"

"You can't," Dora said. "Their find you"
