A/N: hey all! Sorry it's been so long since i last updated. I just wanted to give you a bit of the next chapter. I've been very busy lately. I hope to get the rest of this chappie up within a day or two. Thanks to all who have reviewed!!

Harry didn't even spare a glance at those in the hall. He simply exited the room, waved his hand, and he and Draco disappeared.

Hermione had seen them exit through the portrait hole. She had just opened her mouth to ask where they had been when she saw the purple mist surround the two men and they disappeared. She turned back to the oldest Weasley child, Bill, and pulled on his sleeve. Once he looked down at her, she explained what she had just seen.

"Where do you think they went?" Hermione asked, "Why would Harry just leave us here? As much as I would love to explore this place, I don't think Harry would appreciate it. How are we suppose to get home?" The bushy haired girl was near to panicing by this point.

"Calm down, Hermione. I'm sure we weren't simply abandoned. Harry will come back to take us home." Bill answered.

At this point, the twins had picked up on their conversation, and already had similar thoughts going through their minds. Why had Harry left them here?

"Oi, Bill!" Fred said, "Does this mean we can go exploring?!"

"Absolutely not!" Molly Weasley screeched, "You will do no such thing! This place is rather large and I don't wish to be up all night looking for you when you get lost."

"But, Mum! Harry's left us here! What else are we to do?" George whined.

"Harry's done what?! That boy is definitely too young to have so much power," Molly said as she thought to herself, 'I wonder if there is a way to muffle that power while he's at school. It would definitely do him good to get through one year without any mishaps.'

"Calm down, Mum. Harry will be back. I have a feeling that he wouldn't want to leave us alone here for too long anyway." Bill consoled his mother.

Lucius watched Severus stare as Harry and Draco left. He understood the story the Lady had told them, but something wasn't right. He had a very odd feeling concerning Potter. Why would the boy suddenly be so interested in Draco and Severus? What Lucius didn't dare to admit to himself was that Harry's interest also extended to Lucius himself. But why?
