Chapter 2
Ron woke up the next morning feeling sufficiently terrified. He was going to have to ride Harry's Firebolt at top speed to keep up with Hermione's owl. It's not the speed part that made him anxious. It was the fact that Harry was a much better flyer than he was and he didn't know if he could handle the twists and turns that were inevitable. He didn't have much experience. He sat up in bed for a while, thinking about all the things that could happen, until he couldn't take the jumpy feeling in his stomach anymore and went down to breakfast to find everybody except Harry and Hermione sitting at the kitchen table.
"Where are Harry and Hermione?" Ron asked. "They went outside to play some Quidditch," Fred replied as he piled some marmalade on his toast. Ron was feeling too squeamish to eat anything so he went out back to join Harry and Hermione. When he got to the place where Hermione was standing he found her sitting on the grass looking skyward with a bucket of ordinary Muggle golf balls sitting next to her. It seemed she was helping Harry practice for the upcoming school season. He watched as Harry did a spectacular loop-de-loop in midair and caught one of the golf balls Hermione threw in the air. He walked closer to Hermione and she looked up at him as if noticing he was there for the first time.
"Ron! You're awake finally. I was starting to think you were gonna chicken out." Hermione said. Harry seemed to notice he was there too, for the lack of golf balls thrown must have signaled the arrival of someone. Harry landed on the ground with a soft thud, and walked up to Ron. "Your finally awake. Ready for your little excursion?" Ron looked at Harry with a surprised expression on his face. "I... I thought we were gonna keep this until dark, s-so that we could make sure n-no one sees?" Harry looked at Ron with a thoughtful expression, as if he were pondering something, then he said, "Yeah, your right Ron. We should wait until dark to send you out. That way no one sees him while he's flying. But that poses another problem. How will you be able to see the owl?" Hermione jumped up and waved her hand in the air, like when she wanted to be called on to answer a question. Harry and Ron looked at her with amused expressions on their faces. She suddenly realized what she was doing and abruptly put her hand down at her side. "Sorry. I'm just so used to being in school that I sometimes forget we're on vacation." She smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I know of a way you can see the owl in the dark. We'll tie a glowstick around its leg along with the letter. That way he can see where it is." Ron looked at her, then at Harry, then back again. Harry said, "Sounds like a plan! What do you say, Ron?" Ron looked at Harry, and smiled rather forcibly and replied, "Yeah… uh, sounds great!" He started towards the door to the house, when all of a sudden Fred and George came running out, closely followed by Percy. "Out of the way! Quick!" Fred yelled at them. They all stepped sideways to let the boys through. "They probably slipped dragon dung into his inbox again." Ron said with a hint of amusement in his tone. They walked inside the house to await the arrival of night.

Don't you just love cliffhangers! Anyway, sorry it took so long for me to get this out. I had a very bad fight with my muse, for she refused to give me any inspiration. But, she finally did, after long hours of strenuous physical labor on my part! Anyway, review!!
