Number 12, Grimmauld Place

Sirius: I nodded. "I've been thinking...." I started, "that I shouldn't go with Harry, even though we did talk about it already."

Hermione: "Why not?" I asked, frowning. "Who should go?"

Sirius: "Either you or Cho," I shrugged.

Hermione: "Why?"

Sirius: "Because, I don't think that I should go!"

Hermione: "Alright, Harry, who do you want to go with you?"

I stopped staring at Sirius, who was avoiding my gaze, long enough to look at Hermione, "I don't care..."

Hermione: I sighed and looked at Cho. "Well, with Sirius being stubborn for unknown reasons, who would be the second best to go with you?"

"I'm sure he has his reasons Hermione."

Hermione: "I know," I nodded, sitting down in a nearby chair.

I didn't know what else to say so I walked over to the doorway.

Cho: I stood a few feet from the doorway and watched Harry carefully and sighed. It shouldn't be like this. It wasn't normal for his relationship with Hermione to be at such a distance. I could understand with me, since we hadn't really talked for quite sometime, but Hermione was his best friend. Maybe if Ron were here things would be easier.

Hermione: I sighed. This really was getting bad wasn't it? We hadn't even found any horcruxes yet, and it seemed as if everyone was giving up.

I turned back and looked at Hermione, "What's the point? We aren't even close to finding any Horcruxes, and it doesn't look like we will find any of them."

Hermione: I narrowed my eyes at Harry. "Are you giving up that easily? Really we haven't even had the chance to start looking! Harry, honestly, you can be thick sometimes, but never this badly,"

"And when are we going to start looking? And how? With Voldemort taking over the Ministry and Hogwarts, we don't stand a chance."

Cho: "Harry, you don't know that. You've stood a chance against Voldemort all these years so why not now? I know that we're going to make it through this Harry because you're with us, but we need to stay together on this. Someone wise once told me, 'Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.'" Cheesy, but true.

I nodded, "I guess we have to try. Even if we don't have a chance. For everyone else." For Dumbledore. For Cedric. For my mom and dad. And for Ron. Definitely for Ron.

Sirius: "Are you all complete idiots?!" I blurted out, only just realizing what they had said. "You blew the only cover we had!!"

Cho: I put my hand over my mouth and cursed under my breath. Now, I was not one to curse, but I felt this to be an appropriate timing. I looked down feeling completely awful and embarrassed for my stupidity. Damn it, damn it, damn it. I'd just gotten us into one hell of a mess. I continued cursing mentally. Idiot indeed.

Hermione: I gasped and shook my head. "What do we do?"

"Well isn't it obvious? We need to get out of here. Now."

Hermione: I nodded. "Do we tell Kreacher not to tell we were here?"

"I don't think Kreacher is here....." I said, looking over at where Sirius had been. I couldn't see anyone there. I looked around the rest of the room, and suddenly heard an audible 'pop' of someone disapparating.

Hermione: I frowned. "Where is he going?!"

"He's a coward. I think he has the invisibility cloak. But we still need to get out of here."
