Chapter 4
"Harry, My bum is sore, I'm hungry, tired, and if I don't get sleep soon I'm going to jump off this broom!" Lavender was getting cranky. They had been flying for nine hours now. It was three A.M. according to Hermione's watch. She had to admit she agreed with Lavender. She had almost fallen of the broom when she dozed off.
"Lavender, I'm trying to find a place to stop and rest, but it's to dangerous as it is!" Harry said. He looked really tired and aggravated. Hermione knew not to bug him about food or rest. They had already eaten a third of the food the house-elves had so willingly packed for them. They would have to stop at a muggle restaurant if they wanted food.
Hermione decided to move to a different subject. "How's Ron's trail going?" she asked. She had no idea how Harry was following it in the dark.
"This may sound weird, but Ron's stuff is glowing. It's too the point where I can see the stuff from here" Harry said, "Do you know how he did it Hermione?"
"No not unless… Oh wait!" Hermione looked a mix of happy and confused, "There is one spell, but it's really advanced. It's called the glow spell. If enacted only certain people can see it. But I don't think Ron could do it." Hermione said.
"Herm, he had been spending a lot of time in the library doing research." Lavender said.
"You're right Lavender, now that I think about it" Harry said, "He wasn't just doing research. He was looking up advanced spells. But why?"
"Maybe he knew something bad was going to happen. Ron must've known. I remember now." Hermione said, "He wanted to show me something that he said I'd I might need."
"Yeah he tried to tell me something too." Lavender said, "I just said 'show me later'. That was the last time I saw him" Lavender was looking like she was going to cry.
"Well thank god for Ron's sudden intelligence. At least we have a trail to follow" Harry said.
They were now silent. Hermione thought about their conversation. From what Lavender said, it sounded as if she really wanted to find Ron. Even more than she and Harry did.
Hermione was still deep in thought when Harry started to groan. "What is it?" she said. Harry looked like he was sick.
"Ron's trail stopped. He must've ran out of stuff." Harry said. "Now we have nothing to follow. No way to go."
"Oh shit. What'll we do?" Lavender asked. She looked really worried.
"Do you need some help folks?" Harry Lavender and Hermione all turned around. Flying next to them was a three-inch fairy.
