"Shaftesbury Avenue." Hermione answered, guiding the trio through the throng of people. "I used to come to the theatre here with mum and dad. It just popped into my head. Don't know why..."
She took them down a dark alleyway and pulled out her bag. "We need to change."
Nadia silently agreed with her words. They did look a bit overdressed for a late night walk around London.
Hermione pulled several outfits from the small, beaded bag and handed them to everyone. Ron's eyes bulged. "How the bloody hell--"
"Undetectable Extension Charm." Hermione smirked.
"You're amazing, you are." Ron praised.
"Always the tone of surprise." She smirked wider.
Then, the bag shook and sounded as though a heavy object had fallen over. Hermione bit her lip. "Ah, that'll be the books."
Once they were changed, Hermione bought them to a shabby, greasy and empty late-night cafe.
They grabbed a table and leant towards each other, keeping their voices hushed in case any unwanted visitors were to pass by.
"Do you think everyone's alright at the wedding? Maybe we should--"
"They were after you, mate." Ron cut Harry off. "We'd put everyone in danger by going back."
"Ron's right." Then, a gum-chewing waitress approached their table, listening to loud music through her earphones.
"What do you want?" She asked rather rudely.
"Uh, cappuccino please." Hermione said.
The waitress turned her head to the others.
"What she said." Ron gestured to Hermione.
"Same." Harry said.
"Me too." Nadia nodded.
The waitress jotted it into her worn notebook and disappeared in the kitchen.
"So, where do we go from here? The Leaky Cauldron?" Ron questioned as she left.
"Too dangerous." Nadia shook her head.
"Yeah, if Voldemort's taken over the Ministry, none of the old places are safe." Hermione sighed.
The front door squeaked open as two workmen entered the cafe, idly glancing at the quartet.
"My rucksack, with all my things. I left it back at the Burrow." Harry whined.
Hermione shook her head and subtly placed her beaded bag on the table.
"You're joking."
"I've had all the essentials packed for days."
Nadia felt suspicion arise as the workmen stood at the counter. She kept her eyes trained on them until she noticed two wands slip out of their sleeves.
"Down!" Nadia screamed as the men wheeled and began throwing curses.
The tile exploded on the wall, where Ron's head been only seconds before.
Harry rose from behind the table and yelled, "Stupefy!"
One Death Eater was hurtled through the counter, rendered unconscious.
The other Death Eater proceeded to throw a curse but Hermione stopped him. "Petrificus Totalus!"
The waitress appeared, shocked at the scene. Her gum popped as she glanced around the chaos.
