Breaking News

It was the end of another year for the students of Hogwarts and all were gathered in the Great Hall for the end of the year feast. Most were excited that this disastrous year had finally come to an end and that the threat of the Chamber of Secrets was no more. But though this was all very exciting, that was not the only thing that had Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley wearing big, happy grins on their faces. Tonight was also the night that all the petrified students would be revived. Harry and Ron continuously glanced at the doors, waiting for their best friend, Hermione Granger, to walk through them. Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley had already come back to loud cheers of welcome. For once Harry was actually happy to see his little stalker.

"It's Hermione!" Neville suddenly yelled and all of the eyes in Gryffindor snapped to the door where a small girl with warm brown eyes and massive curly brown hair stood with a beaming smile. Her eyes scanned the Gryffindor table until the landed on her two best friends. If it were possible her smile grew wider and she suddenly bolted down the aisle between the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor tables. The boys quickly stood to meet their friend.

"You did it!" she yelled as she neared them and crashed into Harry's opened arms, hugging him tightly. She let go of him and turned to Ron. He coughed awkwardly and held out his hand. She stared at it for a moment before slapping it out of the way and hugging him tightly around his torso. He gave a surprised gasp before wrapping his own arms around her. When she let go his face was red, causing those around to laugh at his embarrassment. Hermione just rolled her eyes fondly before looking between the two. "You did it." She said again.

Harry smiled. "Only because of you." He said and she smiled. They sat down and Hermione was happily welcomed back. After she was petrified a lot of the Gryffindors started to regret all of the mean things they've ever said about her, realizing that she wasn't such a bad girl.

The three best friends talked happily to each other as they ate their dinner. Hermione nudged the boys when she saw Dumbledore stand. For once the twinkles in his eyes were gone, replaced with concern.

"Students, may I have your attention please, I have urgent news to share." Dumbledore said, his loud, urgent, but calm, voice silencing the hall immediately. "I am most unhappy to inform you that none of you will be going home this summer." There was an outbreak of furious and confused whispers throughout the hall.

"What does he mean we're not going home?" Hermione asked the boys worriedly.

"Can he do that?" Ron asked.

"I think the question is why he is doing it." Harry said.

"SILENCE!" Dumbledore roared and the hall quieted once more. "I have been informed that there has been an outbreak in Azkaban Prison. All prisoners have escaped." Once again whispers broke out, but this time in fear. Some screamed while others were now crying. "Because of this news," Dumbledore raised his voice over the children's, "and the threat of danger these prisoners bring, the Ministry has decided that it is best to send you all into the Wizard's Protection Program. You will all be split up into groups and be placed with families all over the world who will protect you. These families are the strongest out there and have willingly volunteered to protect you all with their lives. Your parents know what is going on and are also going under Wizard's Protection Program."

"I cannot believe this is happening right now." Hermione whispered in disbelief. "My parents are going to be so scared."

Harry took Hermione's hand under the table and gave it a squeeze. He couldn't imagine what she was feeling right now, being a muggleborn with muggle parents whose lives were now in danger.

"There will be eight children to a group. You will be assigned a family and tonight you will leave. We cannot waste any time." He looked around the hall, seemingly trying to take in every face. "Please do not fear children. The Ministry is doing all they can to rally up all the prisoners. We will try to have you all reunited with your families soon. But for now, we must prepare you for your departure."

At that moment the doors to the Great Hall opened and in walked many men and women dressed in purple robes that had a large silver A on the left shoulder. They all filed to the front of the hall and turned to face the students.

"The groups have already been made. Each Auror will step forward and call out the names of eight students. When your name is called you will follow that Auror out of the room and he will lead you to your destination. All of your things have already been delivered to your destination, so you will leave immediately." Dumbledore said. He took a long look around the room. "Be good children. We will try our best to get you all home." He gave a reassuring smile before nodding to the first Auror.

The Auror took out a piece of paper and stepped forward. "Group One; Pansy Parkinson, Penelope Clearwater, Seth Davis, Tracy Davis, Lavender Brown, Colin Creevey, Jordan Lee, and Ernie Macmillan." Harry watched his fellow classmates stand. Seth held his little sisters hand tightly as silent tears rolled down her cheeks. Pansy and Lavender glared at each other as they followed the Auror out of the hall. Colin held his camera close to his chest, for once not having his usual boyish grin on his face. The sight made Harry's heart clench.

This is how it went for the next hour or so. Each Auror stepped up and called out eight names of fearful children and whisked them a way to Merlin knows where. What had to be the thirtieth Auror stepped forward. "Percy Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Millicent Bulstrode, Cho Chang, and Adrian Pucey."

Though relived to be with his siblings, Ron was sad he would not be with Harry and Hermione. He shot them a sad look before standing.

"We'll see you soon, Ron." Harry whispered and Hermione nodded. Ron smiled slightly before following his siblings out of the hall.

Harry and Hermione shared a look. Would they be split up to? Harry took tight hold of Hermione's hand, refusing to let go. He already almost lost her once this year, it wasn't going to happen again.

The next Auror stepped forward. He was taller than the rest, standing at 6'6 with dark chocolate skin that matched his eyes. He took a quick glance around the hall before starting on his list. "Harry Potter," Harry's breath hitched in his throat. Here it goes, he thought. "Cedric Diggory, Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy," Harry looked across the hall, his eyes meeting Malfoy's, but surprisingly he didn't see the usual hatred. Actually, there was no emotion at all. "Luna Lovegood, Hermione Granger," both friends breathed a sigh of relief. As the list went on both had grown nervous of being separated. At least now they could ride through this nightmare together. "Dean Thomas, and Marcus Flint." All eight students stood up to follow the man out. Harry refused to let go of Hermione's hand and Hermione reached out to take Dean's, giving him a reassuring smile, which he returned with a nervous one.

As everyone met at the entrance of the Great Hall they all took a good look at the people they were going to live with for Merlin knows how long.
