The Paranoid Harry Potter

A little while later - Dean Thomas heard the news from Lavender. If Hermione was leaving...and she was the smartest girl...hell, she was the smartest person he knew in the entire school. If she thought that it was necessary to leave? Perhaps he should...Yes, He would have to write to his mother as well. And he really...yes, he should definitely talk to Colin as well, Hermione was a...well she wasn't really the most social of girls, she might not have thought of telling anyone and someone had to look out for the other muggleborns after all. He grimaced, no matter his suspicions about his real father; he really had no way of proving that he was a half-blood and not a muggleborn.

Justin Finch-Fletchely was also surprised when he heard the news. "You're telling me Granger is leaving?" he asked in disbelief.

"Granger the Gryffindor? That Granger? Granger - The girl who didn't leave after she was nearly killed by a troll. The one who didn't leave even though she was petrified by a basilisk. The one who was nearly kissed by dementors and still came back the next year. 'SHE' thinks it's too dangerous to stay at Hogwarts. Bloody hell!"

He stared off into the distance for a bit. Oh, bloody bollocking trolls - If Granger thought it was too dangerous...Bloody hell, what the hell was he doing sticking around. He ran towards the Owlery as fast as he could. He would have to write his parents right away.

Luna Lovegood was busy looking for her shoes that had gone missing when she heard about the students that were leaving Hogwarts. It made her think about her own situation. Why was she staying at Hogwarts? She had hoped that this would be the year that she would finally make some friends. She had hoped that perhaps by now at least one of her classmates would have matured enough to look past their differences. She had hoped...but no, none of that had come to pass. People were still stealing and hiding her possessions. Why did they seem to find tormenting her so funny?

If the others could leave...Well, why on earth should she stay? What was keeping her here? It would be quite easy to persuade her father that staying around Britain was no longer healthy for them. It wasn't like he couldn't publish the Quibbler from anywhere else after all. He could work from anywhere; even moving the printing presses was not at all difficult when you had magic.

So yes - It was time. It was time to give up on Hogwarts, time to find another school. One where the pupils weren't so small minded.

Dirk Creswell, Head of the Goblin Liaison Office, frowned at the reports that were littering his desk at the Ministry of Magic. He had not believed the rumours regarding the resurrection of Voldemort but now...Now, he had reports that nearly all the muggleborn students had left. All of them, every single muggleborn student had left Hogwarts.

The thing was, even though he had not believed the rumours - Something had happened at the school last year during the TriWizard tournament, something that resulted in the death of a student. Whatever had happened, the students at the school would have been the ones best placed to know the truth. And now...all the muggleborns, and quite a few of the half-bloods as well, were withdrawing from Hogwarts. That certainly lent an enormous amount of credence to the rumours.

No one else in the Ministry was really paying any attention and the official Ministry position regarding the events of last year...well, that was starting to look like a steaming pile of dragon dung. So, that meant...Voldemort was back and if things happened like they had in the last war then...

He would have to talk to the other muggleborns. Perhaps Ted Tonks? Yes, he would go have a chat with him tonight. Ted would be a good sounding board.

....

Mary Cattermole was busy preparing dinner when her husband Reginald burst through the door. He seemed to be in quite a panic about something that he had heard at the Ministry. It took her quite a while to calm him down enough to get the full story out of him. By then she was in a bit of a panic herself. Luckily for her, her dear Reg was willing to do whatever it took to keep her safe. They would be leaving, leaving as soon as they gathered up the children and packed up the house.
