Vacation in SoCal : Chapter Two!!!!!

Harry rolled his eyes. "Oh for heaven's sake. You're so overprotective. I mean, your little sister gives someone a hug and you're throwing a fit."

Ron seemed to mellow down and relaxed in his seat. "It's just...weird. I've got you alone in the corner with my little sister and Hermione's over here talking about the "cute couple"

Harry raised an eyebrow at Hermione. "Couple? What's this about a couple?"

Hermione blushed. She thought it was so cute when he did that. But, of course, if Ron ever found out she had a crush on Harry he would probably kill himself. Hermione shook her hair and raised her chin in an aire of importance.

"We should go pack up our bags. We ARE leaving tomorrow, you know."

"Alright then. C'mon, Ron. We've got some packing to do" Harry "shook his hair" and raised his chin like Hermione. "We ARE leaving tomorrow, you know."

Ron laughed, hopped up out of his seat, and started down the hall with Harry.

Ginny watched the inseparable trio walk down the hall. Ron ran ahead of the group, and was chased by Harry. Hermione laughed and jogged behind. Ginny sighed. No matter how much she tried, she would never be a part of their "group". Oh, but she was so excited about tomorrow! And how Harry chose HER to come with them! 'What if he likes me?' she thought. 'Ooh, that would be just so cool! No, he probably doesn't, maybe he is just feeling sorry for me', thought Ginny. 'Oh, screw this, you'd better start packing!' Ginny got up out of her seat, but before she could leave her friend Twyla Banks stopped her.

"GINNY! Where are you going? You never told us about what Harry said to you!"

"Oh, that. He asked me to come to San Diego with him for spring break. We're leaving tomorrow." She said, pretending not to care.

Twyla's mouth dropped open, and was mirrored by Kaila, Portia, and Crystina. Then, all at the same time, they screamed, "OHMYGOD!!!"

Harry turned around. He had heard girls screaming. He knew Ginny must have told her friends. 'Wow', he thought. 'Maybe Ginny DOES have some sort of thing for me. Nah. They are probably just screaming about her coming with us to Coronado'. He dismissed that thought and returned to his dreams of Calista Marie Brown. 'I wonder what she looks like, he thought. I know she has curly blond hair, and blue eyes. She must have an athletic body, since she is a freshman and already in Varsity swimming and water polo. She must have a great complexion if she always talks about how she never wears makeup. Will she like me? I mean, I HAVE been working out just to look good for HER. But I need a tan. There's no sun in England. Oh, I can't wait for tomorrow morning when I see her! That must mean we're leaving after classes today. I can't sit through Snape's class knowing I have THIS to look forward to!' Harry grimaced at the thought of Snape hunching over his table, just waiting for him to make a mistake. Suddenly, Ron's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

"HEY! Dopey! Wake up!" Apparently Ron had slapped him upside the head.

"What? Hey, where am I?" Harry groggily looked up. Professor Trelawney was peering down at him through her thick glasses. Immediately his nose was greeted by thick incense, and his eyes by the rosy red glow of the candles. 'Oh no!' He thought. 'I must have fallen asleep! But wait a minute... Divinations class is fifth period. What ddid I do during my other four classes? I certainly couldn't have been asleep then, or I couldn't have gotten to this class, could I? What's going on?' thought Harry, panicking.

"I knew it. He's dead. I told everybody he would die, but no one believed me!" Professor Trelawney announced. The entire class turned around to see, most in half - belief. Harry scowled.

"I'M NOT DEAD!" he announced. The students turned back around. This happened every time someone fell asleep in her class.

"Well, you could've been." Professor Trelawney walked back to her desk.

"Ron...what happened? Was I asleep during first, second, third, AND fourth period? I don't remember any."

"You weren't there. You were sleeping on the sofa of the common room until Divinations. Don't you remember? On the way to Prof. Binn's class you told us you were tired and went to the Gryffindor house." said Ron matter-of- factly.

"Really?" asked Harry, eyebrows raised. "Wow."

"Yeah. You dropped on the sofa like a dead man." Ron returned his gaze to his cup of tea.

"You must have been too tired to remember." said Hermione, whirling around to talk to Harry and accidentally knocking over Seamus' cup of tea with her thick hair.

"Hey! Oh well, it was pointless anyway." said Seamus dejectedly, turning back around to face Dean Thomas.

"I can't sit through this class and through the next two knowing I'm going to Coronado in a matter of hours. Let's go back to the common room." said Harry, shifting in his seat.

"Can we, Hermione? Please can we?" pleaded Ron, starting to bounce up and down.

"Oh, alright. I hate this class anyway." said Hermione, standing up and walking out of the room. Nobody made an attempt to stop her.

Ron and Harry exchanged glances, then quickly followed Hermione.

When they had climbed down the ladder and were starting to walk down the hall, Harry had an idea.

"Hey! You know what we can do? Hermione, do you still have that time - jumping necklace?" asked Harry. A very bright light bulb popped up above his head. Harry rolled his eyes, pointed his wand towards the light bulb and said, "Kalorous!" The bulb disappeared. "Isn't that annoying?"

"Yeah, I hate it when that happens. Oh, and I still have that hourglass necklace. What do you need it for?" asked Hermione, although she already had an idea of what he wanted.

"We can jump time to when we are at the airport waiting for our flight!" exclaimed Harry, very proud of his idea.

"Okay." said Hermione. She whispered something to the necklace, which she had pulled out of her pocket. "Everybody touch me." she said, looking at Ron and Harry.

"REALLY? I thought you'd never ask!" exclaimed Ron giddily. He started to advance towards her.

"NOT LIKE THAT, PERVERT!" she yelled, pointing her wand towards him.

Harry gave Ron a weird look, then started laughing.

Hermione frowned, and grabbed both of their hands. "Okay everybody, here we go... one...two...THREE!" At the count of three three the trio began whirling around amazingly fast, and continued to increase in speed. Then, as suddenly as it started, they disappeared from the grounds of Hogwarts.
