Hiya! Yep, me again- you know you want it! This is the third part, so if you haven't read the others- STOP! You'll find it a lot better if you read them first!
Read, and review, and enjoy! Hopefully..........
Harry and Hermione arrived at the football ground near her house, to take their apparition test. Ron was there, but didn't go and join them.
Hermione was nervous. "Harry wants me to fail. I must fail." she thought, but it wasn't as easy as that. She never failed. It was a rule with her, and everyone knew it. "I must fail, to prove that my friend means more to me than my reputation. I must fail!" she repeated, over and over.
"Hermione Granger, you're next." said the examiner.
*******************************************************
Harry couldn't believe he was there, on the verge of freedom, but unable to except it. He'd be able to apparate anywhere, anytime, but he couldn't. "Because I have to fail, I can't pass." he said. He saw Hermione smiling nervously at him as she disapparated. "Please say she didn't pass." he said, as his name was called.
*******************************************************
Harry was just about to go, when Ron, who was waiting for his turn, had an idea. He would fail, then he couldn't go and see Lord Voldemort when he called to him. But when he thought of disobeying his master, his arm, which was still bandaged up, throbbed painfully. "I won't do it." he said, as he took his place.
*******************************************************
The examiner gave Hermione the place she had to apparate to. It was not far from Glasgow, in a small village called Killearn. She was supposed to appear in the park, not far from the school. "How close do we have to be to pass?" she asked, panicking.
"Oh, we'll give you a circle of 50 metres either side!" said the examiner, wondering why on earth Hermione Granger wanted to know. It was obvious that she would get it dead on, and she probably read half the library to prepare!
Then she was gone.
*******************************************************
Harry had to apparate to a Scottish village called Killearn. He'd never even heard of the place! This would make failing easier! He disapparated.
*******************************************************
Ron panicked. The voices in his head were disagreeing, as usual. One half of him wanted to pass, to please his mother, master, and everyone he knew. But he also wanted to fail, so he could ignore his master.
"Killearn? Where in heavens name is that!" he thought, as he disapparated, hoping his heart would decide.
******************************************************
Hermione arrived in a small front garden, which was very wet. "At least I got Scotland!" she grinned, looking up at the cloudy sky, which poured with rain. Glad she hadn't had her test in a winter month, as she didn't particularly want to be knee-deep in snow, she looked around for the examiner. A blonde witch apparated beside her, then muttered a spell, which produced a line running straight through Hermione's feet. The witch said, "You're right on the line 50 metres away! I'm not entirely sure what to do!" with a strong Scottish accent.
*******************************************************
With a small 'pop', Harry appeared in a wet schoolyard. Looking around him, he noticed the sign, 'Killearn Primary'. Not sure what to think, he waited. After a moment or two, a small wizard appeared. "I'm sorry to say, you failed, Master Potter."
Much to his surprise, Harry let out a small, "Yes!"
*******************************************************
Ron was stood outside a small 'Spar' shop. Almost immediately, a tall, slim wizard, in black robes appeared next to him. He muttered a spell, and a thin line became visible on his left side, and it curved away from him. Feeling in mixed emotions, Ron realised he had failed, and the wizard spoke. "Ron Weasley, nice try, but you cannot escape your master that easily. You've passed!"
It was Snape.
*******************************************************
Hermione was given another chance, and the same thing happened. In the end, she was awarded her license. Harry wasn't pleased with her, but it was better than nothing.
"Well, at least Ron passed," she said bitterly, wondering if she would forever be known as 'the girl who had two goes'!
