The three girls landed in a wet cave with a great oomph.
Ginny landed in some soft mud, Luna in a puddle, and Hermione landed somewhere in between the two.
Luna was the first to recover.
"Well that was a complete fail." She said as she viciously rubbed the mud off of her jeans.
"Why didn't we factor in the fact that Slytehrins cheat. They always cheat. Come on Miss 'Brightest Witch of Her Age'. We need your brain power," Ginny began.
Hermione stood up searching for her wand. "Well, excuse me Miss Quiditch but I was too busy trying not to think about flying in the apocalyptic storm that was going on." Hermione countered, fixing a glare in Ginny direction. The lack of light in the cave made this fete very difficult.
"Ginny, Hermione please let's focus on getting out then you can go at it for all I care. Now what way is out?"
Ginny turned in circle glancing upwards in hope of an exit. She looked past a gleaming pool that seemed to be lit from underneath. An idea popped into her head.
"Hermione, you apparate us in, cant you do it out?"
As she heard Ginny suggestion, Hermione hands stopped combing throught her tangles hair. If the other girl could have seen Hermione then they would have seen the bemused expression displayed across her features, confusion fill her chocolate brown eyes.
"I didn't apparate us in." I thought maybe one of you did it?" she said pronouncing each word carefully processing this new information.
"We can't apparate."
Silence enveloped cave.
"Spooky," was heard coming from Luna's direction.
The others girls agreed silently.
As usually Ginny took charge of the situation. "Well, we have to find out own way out. Lets Lumos our wands and see what we can find
Each girl whispered Lumos and turned to find a way out. After minutes of searching Luna called to the others.
'Here I think I've found something." Hermione and Ginny looked over Luna shoulders to where here slim finger pointed.
A thin tendril of silver moon light shone through the darkness.
"It's small but it is the only thing close to an opening I could find." Luna explained
Hermione reached out her hand letting a single finder lightly trance around the hole. Without any warning the cave started the rumble and the tiny hole grew enough to allow the girls to exit. Luna first followed by Ginny and Hermione then as suddenly as it had appeared the hole disappeared leaving a no trance of its existence.
A full moon shown down from the night's sky. The rain had stopped leaving the trees dripping. Thunder could still be heard in the far distance.
"I have spent 7 years in the wizarding world and I feel like I shouldn't be surprised by anything anymore, but I still am." Hermione said as the girls began their trek through the forest.
The girl's laughter filled the forest naïve of the fact that their lives wouldn't ever be the same. Ignorant of the changes they would go through the discoveries they would have to make and one cannot forget the sacrifices.
You might be confused by Hermione saying that should didn't apparate and in the first chapter I said she did…well I change my mind I don't want her to be able to. it will be part of the mystery. Sorry about that.
