Hermione walked across the the lawn outside the Weasley's burrow. The night was cold and her bag felt like it weighed a hundred kilograms. Every step was muffled and she hoped she could slip away without waking anyone. "Hermione!" called a familiar voice from behind her. Hermione turned to see Ron running towards her, before she could disapparate he seized her into his arms. "Where the bloody hell do you think you're going 'Mione?" said Ron with a sign of anger in his voice. Realizing that Hermione was shivering, he quickly took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. "Ron" whispered Hermione " I have to find them."
"Who?" demanded Ron "'Mione find who?!"
"My parents. I have to put their memories back and I don't know where in Australia they might be or if they have left Australia and gone some place else" said Hermione tears now flowing down her cheeks.
"Mione. We will find them. Me and you okay." assured Ron now wiping away Hermione's tears with a tissue.
"How.. how did you know that I was about to leave the Burrow?"
"Ginny came into my room and woke me up and told me you were missing."
"We must go now.. now or it might be too late." sobbed Hermione.
Ron looked hesitant for a while, but looking into those chocolate brown eyes which were swelling up with tears he thought they should go immediately.
"As you wish 'Mione "said Ron 'Give me your bag it looks a bit heavy for you."
"Thanks Ron" said Hermione sounding a bit surprised that he agreed without having any heated argument first.
Hermione took hold of Ron's hand and together they diapparated.
