They walked into the cafe together as a couple walked out. They sat at a booth at the back and tried not to draw any attention to themselves.

"What about all the people at the wedding?" Harry asked, "Do you think we should go back?"

"They're after you, mate. You'd put everyone in danger if you go back." Ron told him.

Erica nodded as she looked over the back of the booth before snapping her neck back to face them, visibly more nervous.

That's when a waitress came up to the Herd, "Coffee?"

"Oh, no thanks." Erica shook her head as the waitress walked off,"I don't want to alarm you but I think we made a mistake coming here."

"It was the safest place we could. Besides, it's muggle territory." Hermione sighed.

"No, it's not that. Look at those two over there." Erica pointed to two work men at the booth across from them.

They all looked at them before looking back.

"Okay, so maybe not th-" Parker began but was cut off by the two workmen firing spells at the Herd.

"I told you guys!" Erica yelled, taking out her wand.

"Stupefy!" They all shouted before they began dueling.

The Herd had won as the waitress walked out.

"Go, leave." Parker told her.

"Well, now what?" Harry asked, looking at the two unconscious Death Eaters.

"Lock the doors and turn off the lights." Parker stated while she walked up to the Death Eaters, "This one's Rowle. He's quite the master at Charms."

"The other is Dolohov, correct?" Erica asked, doing what Parker asked.

"Tortures muggles and non followers of Voldemort." She sighed, "Prick."

"That's something we all agree on." Hermione stated, using a spell to tidy up the mess they made.

"You're going to need to erase their memories." Ron told Hermione, "They might wake up and tell the others."

Hermione nodded and raised her wand at the men,"Obliviate."

"Come on. Let's go." Harry sighed before they left.

"How is it that they found us?" Harry asked while they walked.

"Maybe we were followed?" Ron suggested.

"Or they could've tracked one of us." Hermione added.

"All we know is that we can't show ourselves in case they recognise us. We're going on the run." Erica stated, rubbing her eyes.

Hermione stopped slightly and gasped.

"You ok Hermione?" Harry asked her.

"We didn't celebrate your birthday, Harry." Hermione stated, "Ginny, Erica, Parker and I prepared a cake. We were going to give it to you after the wedding."

"Forget the cake, there's a mass murdering psycho out there." Erica sighed, turning to Harry,"No offence but we really need to go."

"Come on. We're not far from Grimauld Place. It'll be safe there." Parker stated while they walked.

"What are we waiting for, let's go." Ron stated, looking ahead.

Soon enough, they all arrived at Grimauld Place, walking in and closing the door behind them. The lights slowly turning on.

"Uh, hello? Anybody home?" Erica asked, looking around wearily.

Hermione used a spell, "No, we're alone."
