Harry ran up the alley to meet his family and Hermione, brushing the floo dust off of him. Molly spotted him first and rushed forward, hugging him, "Oh Harry, we were so worried, I heard you sneeze in the floo, and had no idea where you ended up. Are you alright?" she said, in a voice loud enough to be sure to carry, before lowering her voice, and saying, "Seriously, are you okay? Did anything happen down the alley; it can be a brutal place at times."
