Disclaimer: You know the drill...all Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Gracie Merrytoad belongs to me. Oh, and the animals belong to me. And, Laura Nolan, (I think) I didn't see your camping trip. This one's modeled after my family and me: me, separate tent, bear, me cry baby and sleep in mommy and daddy's tent. Enjoy All!
Ps. Sorry about the R/H thing...I don't have a true favorite I just picked them. To pick up where we left off...


And with that, Hermione was gone. Ron and Harry looked at each other and shrugged. Meanwhile, Hermione disappeared into Gracie's bedroom. She apparated into the bedroom to find Gracie crying on her bed. She rushed to her side and asked her what was the matter.

"My cat was just put to sleep!" she sobbed. "She had nose cancer!"

"Oh, I'm sorry about your cat. But, I think I have something that might just cheer you up! Come on, pack your bags for about 3 days away...pack bathing suits and shorts...maybe a pair of pants too," Hermione instructed her. As soon as she was packed, Hermione ran downstairs to tell Gracie's parents where she was going, and that it was a surprise for her. Then, they disapparated back to the camping site. When they got there, the camp was empty, so Hermione explained.

"Every time we mentioned you, Harry got all sad. And, I think he's feeling a little left out because, well, me and Ron-"

"I knew it! Dumbledore and Trelawney told us...in their own ways. Sooo? Do you see fireworks when you kiss him?"

"Why would I? What do you mean, fireworks?"

"Oh, never mind..."she said with a smile.

"So, anyways, you can sleep in my tent. Plus, that way we can be together and keep each other safe-"

"What do you mean...safe?"

"Oh, nothing! Nothing at all!" Just then, the boys reentered the camp, Harry running with a grin from ear to ear.

"Gracie! Where did you come from?" They bumped into each other, and were both laughing. Gracie put her finger to Harry's lips as to quiet him. They both giggled a bit, (as we all know, not at all like our Harry) and kissed. Then, the other couple kissed. After a couple minutes, they were all in their bathing suits. (Theboys were giving each other the thumbs up when they saw the girls in their bikinis.
