Chapter Two; The Ranch

Thanks Scrappy! I'm glad you enjoyed it, here's the next chapter! (I've really gotten into this Harry Snape series but eventually I'll get back to writing my other stuff.

Snape drove the trailer down the highway while Hermione, Ginny, and Eve all started to sing. "Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory. Oh rise and shine and give God the glory, glory. Rise and shine and (they clapped loudly at this part) give God the glory glory! Children of the Lord. Oh the Lord told Noah there's going to be a floody, floody, yeah the Lord told Noah there's going to be a floody, floody. Get those children (clap) out of the muddy, muddy, children of the Lord.

Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory. Oh rise and shine and give God the glory, glory, rise and shine and (clap) give God the glory, glory children of the Lord." They sung.

"And I think the next part goes the Lord told Noah to build Him an arky, arky. The Lord told Noah to build Him an arky, arky, Build it out of gopher barky, barky, children of the Lord." Ginny sung while clapping her hands together before the other girls joined in with her on the chorus.

"Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory. Oh rise and shine and give God the glory, glory, rise and shine and (clap) give God the glory, glory children of the Lord." They sung before Ginny glanced over at Harry.

"So what do you think?" she asked him with a grin.

"I think that Hermione and Eve should join the choir." Harry told her.

"Hermione and Ginny are already in 3LW, (Three Little Witches)" Ron began. "and then we've got Trinity."

"Yeah, since I've agreed to do Trinity 3LW sort of broke up." Ginny said. "I mean I can't do music all of the time. I still have my job at the wizarding hospital." She told him.

"How much longer is it going to be until we get there!?" Eve complained.

"About an hour or so." Harry told her.

"But I have to go to the bathroom!" she whined.

"So go, we're in a trailer remember?" Ron questioned her.

"Oh, yeah, right." She said before she stood up and walked away while Ron just simply shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"Does she always have to find something to complain about?" he asked Harry.

"Yeah, pretty much." He admitted.

"So, are you up for a game of wizard chess?" Ron questioned him.

"Sure." Harry agreed as the two wizards dug out the game together and set up the pieces.

….

"Alright here we are, Harmony Ranch." Snape said after he parked the trailer and one by one they stepped outside hearing the sounds of whinnying horses inside the distance.

"This place has horses?" Eve questioned with complete and utter disbelief and astonishment.

"Yeah, that's pretty much what a ranch is." Ron told her.

"Cool!" she exclaimed. "I want to go for a ride!" she yelled while starting to run away but Harry quickly shook his head at her.

"Uh, uh, uh, what's rule number one whenever we go out some place?" he asked her as she took a deep breath and sighed heavily.

"Stick together." She recited reluctantly.

"That's right." He told her.

"Well then can we please go!? Pretty please with sugar on top!?" she cried.

"Not today, it's getting too late. We have to help Dad gather together some firewood so we can roast our hotdogs." Harry told her as she breathed another deep and heavy sigh.

"Oh, alright. C'mon Ginny let's go gather some firewood." She said unhappily before she started to walk away.

"Somebody's little miss attitude." Tobey chuckled.

"Oh no not really. This is a major improvement for her." Ron told him.

…..

"Alright Harry you can light the wood now son." His father told him while he withdrew his wand and pointed it at the logs inside the fire pit.

"Incendio." He said as sparks of fire shot out from the tip and onto the wood.

"Alright everyone, come and get your hotdogs. There's plenty of them here." Snape told them as Harry headed towards the pack when suddenly his sister stopped him.

"Harry I'm scared. There aren't any wild animals are out here are they?" she asked him.

"Of course there is, the ranch is covered by woods." He told her as she gulped nervously.

"Even werewolves?" she asked him as he nodded.

"Yeah but I wouldn't worry about it too much. Werewolves generally don't go anywhere where there's humans or fire. Otherwise there wouldn't be horses around here." He told her as he grabbed a hotdog and placed it at the end of his stick.

"Have you ridden before Harry?" Hermione asked him.

"Actually no. I've ridden on dragons and unicorns before, but I've never gone horseback riding before." He replied as he squatted down by the fire to cook his dog.

"You don't know what you're missing out on. It's like riding a broom except you're on the ground." Eve told him before she grabbed her own hotdog and squatted down next to him to cook it.

As soon as supper was over Harry started making his way back to the camper. "Where are you going Harry?" Hermione asked him.

"To bed." He told her.

"You can't go to bed yet, we haven't made our S'mores or sang campfire songs or anything." She told him. "Besides, look at how beautiful the sky is." She told him as they both tilted their heads back and looked up at the starry sky. "I wonder just exactly how many stars God made." She said as Harry shrugged.

"I dunno. Maybe that's something that we can ask Him when we get to Heaven." He said.

"Yeah, but in the meantime you probably should grab a marshmallow before Ron eats the whole bag." She told him.

"Hey!" Ron hollered as Harry stifled a laugh and grinned.

"Alright, I will." He said as they started walking over towards the marshmallow bag together.
