It was 11 p.m. on Sunday, July 7th, 1996. Ron and Hermione were ready to open their connection in case Harry needed a boost. With Tom as his partner, that was unlikely, but the trio was prepared. Entering St. Mungos in the dead of night was not hard. You only had to act like you belonged and knew where to go. That worked right until a healer and his "apprentice" entered the Janus Thickly Ward. The first nurse that tried to intercept them flinched back from the Black Masks they had donned. Immediately, she rang the alarm. Fortunately, she was not fast enough to keep them from entering the Longbottoms" room. Frank and Alice were sleeping peacefully. That would work in their favour. Harry cast a silencing spell over the bed, while Tom wove the first wards to keep everyone out.
