-1Chapter 20- Into Camp
I am sad I haven't had a review. Oh well, here is the next chapter anyway.
"What are you doing?" the surprise red head says nearing the rider on a black horse.
"What do you think? I have had enough of waiting. I am better off out there with the rest of them." the rider answers.
"You just can't leave like that. Does my father even know?" the young woman says hoping to keep him here with her.
"Would you tell him, please?" he says getting off the horse and facing her.
"Draco, please, don't go. Its to dangerous and I don't want to loose you. Don't you think I already have enough to worry about with my own sister out there." Ginny says with a pleading light in her eyes.
"I promise that I will come back for you, princess. The hope to one day see your beautiful face once more is all the fuel I need." the blond says touching the side of her face.
She looks up at him and smile before kissing him lightly on the lips.
"Then go, lord Draco. Be assure that if you come back this hand and lady will be waiting for you."
Draco then gets on his horse and looks down at her once more.
"That is all I need to know." then he disappears into the distance.
Leaving behind a distraught young woman with a heavy heart.

"She seems to be warming up to you, sir." Ron says on his horse next to Harry.
Ridding right in front of them is Hermione that since there first night together in the road has barely said a word to him. Not a bad word. Not a good word.
Yet her silence is slowly killing him inside.
"I think I rather have her bite my head off than see her cold side." Harry says turning slightly to his friend. "There is always so much passion in her words that no matter what she tells me I need to hear."
"Sir, if you don't mind me saying it, but you are weird when it comes to woman."
"What do you mean?" Harry ask as his eyes are still not moving away from the woman in front of them that started to move forward.
Probably to ride in the front. She has learn to do that with no problem. Either in the back with the prince or the front with the king.
"You are putting your eyes on a woman that detest you sir. Every time her eyes turn to you there is this dark shine on them. I don't know why you are willing to jeopardize your relationship with princess Ginerva for her sister that only shows hatred towards you." Ron finishes.
"What else do you see in those eyes, old friend?" Harry says looking at the red head.
"Excuse me, sir?"
"Yes there is hate in her eyes. But there is also pain and if you look closer love. I dare you to look at her closely next time you talk about me. Or even when she looks at me. I tell you she still loves me. To be honest I never stopped loving her." Harry then grabs his shirt above his chest. "She has been embedded in here and no one can take her out and with all honesty I would never let someone take her out."
"Look, sir, we have made it to camp." Ron says pointing out to the tents and flags ahead of them.
"Lets go get close to the front then." Harry says going into gallop with Ron closely behind him.
"Its good for you to finally join us." James says as his son finally gets to stand next to Hermione.
"Well I knew that my godfather will be here so I am hoping to see him." Harry says with a big smile and Hermione just rolls her eyes at his words. "What are my words annoying you princess?"
She turns to glare at him but before she can say something a horse nears them.
"Still picking on girls." a deep voice says.
The couple turn to face an older man next to an ancient looking man.
"Sirius." Harry says jumping off his horse and running to the man that had just talk. "I am so happy to see you. Its been a long time."
"That it has, but I see you have not change at all. So who is this lovely lady you were bickering with." he says as Hermione jumps off her horse and walks towards them.
At that moment James goes towards Sirius and gives him a big hug.
"Its been a long time, old friend." James says after pulling away.
"Watch who you are calling old. You are the same age as me." Sirius says.
Hermione and Harry just stand there with a big smile. Then somebody coughs from behind the two friends.
"I believe some introduction is in order." the ancient looking man says.
"Right." James says. "Hermione I would like to introduce to you one of my oldest and best's friend, the prince of Ravenclaw Sirius and this young," James chuckles pointing towards the ancient looking man. "man is his father the king of Ravenclaw, King Dumbledore. You two this beautiful young lady is the youngest daughter of Arthur princess Hermione."
"Nice to meet you, Hermione." Dumbledore says taking her hand and kissing the hand.
"Its nice to finally be in your presence, sir. You are a legend."
"So its your mother." the old king says before walking away leaving a baffle princess.
"My mother?" she whispers.
"Its nice to finally be in the presence of the daughter of Ravenclaw's best warrior." Sirius says kissing Hermione's hand. "She is one in a million. As I bet you are. That is why you're here and with my godchild's heart."
He gives her and Harry a knowing smile.
"Your what's heart?" she ask with wide eyes.
"My godson's heart, Harry. Aren't you guys together?" Sirius ask her.
"No." she says shaking her head. "He is engage, but to my sister."
"Oh." he says shock. "Okay, I…never mind." he wraps his arm around James. "Come on James lets go look for Remus. He is going to be excited when he sees you."
The younger people see them leave with raise eyebrows. Hermione rolls her eyes before moving around.
"Where are you going?" Harry ask casually.
"What are you going to follow me around here too?" she ask a little annoyed.
"No, of course not. I am just curious." he says trying to act casually.
"Yeah, right." she says walking away.
"Smooth." Ron says laughing hard at his look.
"Oh, shut up and start unloading with the rest of them." Harry says turning to help the rest of the people unload the stuff they had brought with them.
Hermione has wonder into the camp when she sees a group of woman whispering to each other. She stops right in front of them and one of them walks towards her.
"You must be Jane's daughter." the one that was standing in front of her says. "You look just like her."
"You knew my mother?" Hermione ask.
"Most of the people here knew her. She is a legend to Ravenclaw warriors. Specially the woman." another one of them says as the other three steps up.
"I had no idea. I know she was a great woman but…" Hermione feels tears come to her eyes.
"Come with us." a blond one says.
Hermione nods and goes into a tent with the four warriors.
Half an hour later Harry is walking around camp with his godfather. Sirius begins to laugh as he notices the young prince looking around.
"Looking for someone?" he whispers to him.
"Ah…no I am just looking around. Trying to get use to my surroundings." Harry says denying what he was really doing.
"You can't fool me, Harry. I might have not seen you in ages but I still know you and you…"
But then Harry stop listening as he sees Hermione walk out of a tent dress up as a Ravenclaw warrior. Only that next to the Ravenclaw crest was that of Hufflepuff.
"This is your mother's." a dark hair woman was saying. "She gave it to my mom to save for her. She said just in case you will need it."
"How did you know to bring it?" Hermione was saying as Harry nears the group of women.
"My mom told me to bring it just in case. She said that you might be just like her."
Sirius smiles at that.
"Its like seeing her again." Sirius said when the women turn to them. "You are just as beautiful."
Hermione looks down shyly.
"Come on, we got something else for you." the red head says taking her hand and walking away.
"Harry?" Sirius says waving his hand over his godson't face.
Only Harry kept his gaze on the bushy hair woman. She looks more beautiful than ever in those warrior clothes.
Tight leather pants with a baby blue and black shirt that opens up in the sides and fall to her knees. She look like she belong in them.
But then she did look beautiful in that dress at the party.
"Harry?" now Remus was saying.
"Harry." James says loud.
"What? What happened?" he says looking at the three friends.
They start to laugh loud at his blank expression.
"You look just like your dad did when…" Remus hits Sirius on the ribs.
"He knows." James says.
"Well then you should be feeling like this is deja vu." Sirius says laughing loader with Remus joining him.
"You guys have not change. Don't you ever grow up?" James says.
"Nope." they say together.
"Come on Harry, lets go check how our camp is." James says pulling his son away from his laughing friends.
"What are these?" Hermione says holding up a weapon from the base of it.
"They are twin Sais." the red head says.
Hermione picks both up and starts to twirl them around in her hands. She found how natural it felt to hold these foreign weapons to her. Three thin blades with the one in the middle sticking out way longer then the ones on its sides.
"Would you teach me to use them?" Hermione says looking at them.
"Only Amanda here knows how to use them better than anybody." the red head says pointing to the girl that mom's knew her mother.
"I would love to show you. You are already showing you are a natural just by holding them." Amanda says.
"Thank you." she said putting them away.
"Go ahead keep them. There yours. Well actually there where your mother's too." Amanda says.
The other ones smile and nod at her. Hermione starts to feel at home with them.
------
"Where have you been?" Harry ask as Hermione comes into their tent.
"I was with Amanda, Padme, Liza and Justine. You saw them earlier." she says placing a long box on the small table before proceeding into removing her shirt.
"What are you doing?" Harry ask covering his eyes making Hermione laugh.
"I have clothing underneath, Harry. You are acting like you never seen a naked woman before."
"Of course not. Have you seen a man naked?" he ask a little jealous.
"Its none of your concern, but no I haven't. So if you intend to change tell me so I can go outside." she says after glaring at him.
"Same to you." he says as she lies on her cot. "Goodnight, Hermione."
"Goodnight, Harry." she says turning around.
