Chapter 6
Hermione hated flying. It had started the first time she had ever had a flying lesson. The broom had simply ignored her! When Neville had gone flying off into the air and had fallen she had been so frightened! She had been scared of brooms ever since!
She clung tighter to Harry. She did feel safer with him than if she was on her own because he was such a good flyer.
They had now gone through the clouds and were looking over the top of the most beautiful view they had ever seen. The clouds were like white candyfloss. They looked as though you could bounce on them and touch the moon.
Harry soared down towards the tip of a nearby cloud and let his feet dangle in the whiteness. Hermione tensed and cried:
"Harry, don't get too close. Fluffdums are quite common over this part of the country," her voice rent with anxiety.
"Hermione, what are Fluffdums?" Harry again was showing his ignorance of things magical. After six years in the magical community these occasions were becoming less rare, but they still happened sometimes.
"They are invisible creatures that live in the clouds. They can pull people off their brooms. Harry please go up." Harry noticed the tension in her voice, so he obeyed.
"Come on you two," yelled Mr Weasley. "We have to get back in 40 minutes."
Harry turned his broom towards the others and sped forwards. Hermione let out a small cry.
"What's wrong Hermione? Did something hurt you?" Harry turned around to look at her and saw her shaking slightly. Then it clicked.
"You're scared of flying aren't you?" Hermione nodded her head slightly and Harry started laughing. He stopped suddenly when he realised that she had almost begun crying.
"Don't worry, I won't tell Ron!"
"What won't you tell me?" Ron was now flying beside them with a puzzled look on his face.
"Nothing. nothing, don't worry Ron," Harry told him. Ron stayed by their sides for the rest of the journey, which was totally uneventful after that.
At 11:15 they arrived at the Burrow. Mrs Weasley was standing outside waiting for them, her hands in her apron pocket and her broad face in a wide grin.
The landing was the part that Hermione hated most. Harry purposely landed gentler than usual and she finally let go of her vice-like grip around his chest. She stepped onto the ground, stood unsteadily for a second, then straightened up and looked straight as Mrs Weasley.
"Come in Harry and Hermione. It's so nice to see you."
