Meanwhile, the remaining Death Eater has bound Ron, and blown up the table behind Harry. He Stuns one, though he misses the second Death Eater: the spell ricochets, hitting the waitress. As the workmen draw wands, Harry, under his Invisibility Cloak, recognizes them as Death Eaters. When two workmen enter the café, Ron and Hermione lower their voices. Instead, she advises Disapparating to the countryside so they can send a message to the Order. Ron suggests going to the Leaky Cauldron, but Hermione immediately vetoes that idea as being too dangerous as Voldemort will be watching there. The Trio, with Harry under the Invisibility Cloak, enter a shabby all-night café, trying to get some rest. They enter a dark alley and change into street clothes, Hermione having already packed everything they needed for their mission into her beaded bag (which has been enchanted to fit spellbooks, clothes, money, camping gear, etc.). Amid the chaotic scene, Hermione, Ron and Harry Disapparate to Tottenham Court Road. The rest stand armed with their wands, ready to face the Death Eaters.
Some guests Disapparate, showing that the protective charms surrounding The Burrow have collapsed. Panic erupts over the shocking announcement. Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
