True to his word, Harry was ready to depart on the Friday afternoon as soon as Snape had finished his last class.  When Snape joined him he only looked as frustrated as he normally did after a Friday final fourth year class, which was a relief to Harry, who had just seen the new flying teacher trying to surreptitiously drink a large bottle of something, having had all three Turnpuddles in her class.

“We’re travelling light, I see,” Snape remarked.

“Yes,” agreed Harry, picking up the small bag.  “But don’t worry, I’ve packed all the essentials.”

Just then they heard the sound of footsteps, coming down the corridor.

“Quick,” Snape said.  “That sounds like the headmistress on the warpath.  I know she’s agreed to our weekend away, but it won’t stop her delaying our departure.”

Hurriedly they slipped out of the building, and half ran round to the back, before making a rapid exit by broomstick.

They reached the Leaky Cauldron, and went inside, to be greeted by Neville.

“The weather’s getting worse,” Neville said, “you’d be welcome to stay here tonight if you like.  I won’t tell anyone of your whereabouts.”

“Thank you for the offer,” Harry replied, “but I think we’ll be okay,” and reaching out a hand to Snape they entered the floo together.
