Chapter 2 Welcome to Forks

Harry awoke early on Saturday morning. He rolled over to face Ginny who was lying awake staring at him.

"I don't want you to go." she said quietly.

"I'll be alright." he assured her.

"I bet that's what Arnold and Eloise thought." she tried to smile but couldn't.

"I'll keep in touch." he promised.

"Okay." she looked into his eyes and leaned her head softly towards his. He leaned forward too and kissed her tenderly. Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny's back and she placed her hands on the back of his neck.

They were interrupted by a knock on the front door. They heard Ron yelling, "Hurry up Harry we need to leave."

"Okay I'm coming." he yelled back. "I'll have to go" he said to Ginny.

He ran downstairs to let Ron in. "You aren't even dressed yet" he said looking down at Harry.

"Oh, well spotted." he said sarcastically. "I'll be one sec." he sprinted upstairs and quickly pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

Ginny got up and put on a robe. She went downstairs to see her brother. Harry grabbed a jacket and followed her. When they were all grouped together in the living room. Ginny gave Harry the bag that they had got together, with all of there necessities.

"So, this is it, good luck. Both of you." said Ginny. Harry gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Ginny hugged Ron and then the two of them walked to the end of the path.

"Shall I do it or you?" asked Ron.

"You do it." said Harry. He grabbed Ron's arm. Ron apparated. That horrible feeling behind the navel came to Harry. In two seconds Harry and Ron had landed on a soft ground.

Harry looked around, it was pitch black and raining. Ron lit his wand and Harry copied him. They were in the middle of a meadow. It was a really pretty meadow. There where flowers everywhere. It was very green.

"Where are we?" asked Ron.

"Somewhere in Forks I presume" said Harry.

"Well obviously," said Ron sarcastically, "but where about?"

"I don't know maybe we should try and find that wood where Arnold and Eloise where found." said Harry looking at Ron, who looked nervous at that. But he nodded.

Ron looked at his watch. "It's nine o'clock." he said.

"Well, it is in England." replied Harry. "It's one o'clock in the morning here."

They walked towards the trees. The forest was thick and dark. The moonlight beat down through the trees. Harry looked up through the trees, it was a new moon. They were a little protected from the rain in the forest. They walked deep into the middle of the forest and made camp.

They put up their tent and put the protective spells around them. The tent had been enchanted to make the inside bigger than the outside. There where three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room.

Harry and Ron took there bags into the tent and unpacked. They had put plenty of spells around the tent so it would be impossible for anyone to hear them or see them. Or even smell them. They should be pretty safe from predators.

Ron's mother, Mrs Weasley, had made them lots of delicious meals which they took out of the bag Hermione had enchanted to carry as much as you wanted without adding to the weight of it. Harry put them into the cupboard.

Ron had already opened a packet of cereal and was digging into it.

"Don't you want a bowl, or milk?" asked Harry amused.

"N thnks," said Ron with a mouthful of cereal.

Harry gave him the thumbs up.

The rest of the morning went fast, it wasn't long before dawn was breaking. Harry had set his watch back so the time now read seven o'clock. He and Ron where sat round the kitchen table with their notes and plans covering the whole surface.

"So we start our research tomorrow." said Ron yawning widely.

"Yes" said Harry. "First we should just explore the area then we will retrace Arnold's and Eloise's steps. It's four in the afternoon at home so we will probably be tired by about two in the afternoon here. But we might be here for a while so we are just gonna have to stay awake."

Ron stared at Harry. "I was up at six o'clock I'm tired now and you know how I get when I don't have enough sleep." Harry laughed.
