Chapter Twenty-Six - Flying Fears
Hermione
"Come on you two! We're going to be late!" Seriously, Ron and Harry have absolutely no idea about timekeeping! We had twenty minutes to get to the airport to check in. They don't understand about this 'flying lark' at all! I had to pack Ron's suitcase for him, otherwise we would have still been troubling over it now! He couldn't fit it all in! And he's RUBBISH at the shrinking spell! I bet he's messing about with it now! I had it just right! I've got everything ready for the plane too, but if they don't get a move on, we're going to miss it!
Ginny's been unusually quiet. I suppose she's just worried about the flight. Bless her. Harry spent most of last night up with her, reassuring her everything was going to be ok. It will be, I'm sure. They're so good together, those two. I knew they'd see sense some time. I kept telling Ginny to go and talk to him when she was in her first, second, third, well, all of her years at Hogwarts. I'm so happy for them.

I wish Harry and Ron would hurry up. Goodness knows what they're doing up there! I suppose they'll say they were 'brushing their teeth' not trying to pack any surprises or anything. I'm so worried about flying. Hermione says it'll be fine, and Harry stayed up reassuring me all night. I wish he hadn't. It makes me feel guilty about how much sleep he got. He's been so nice to me. I feel like the muggle's queen! I feel so safe in his arms. Like nothing can go wrong. And just one kiss, and all my worries will float away. Maybe that's the answer to getting over my flying fears…
