Home Sweet Home

Both of their minds were racing at the same time. There was no telling that the same thing could happen again, or if that the other was plotting against the other. All they had to rely on was faith:

"Well". she thought out loud, "hmm. to risky..ahh ok here we go.. I think I've got it. ok, you go to your estate and say that you want to move back and "rekindle" what was lost. You know the whole "I was wrong, forgive me please" bit. Then find out anything that you can, maps help. Look for a hidden chamber because all that I can remember is that he came down from the ceiling on a narrow black spiraling staircase. From what I remember, it seemed to be descending, like he had to trigger it some how. The room was a discolored brown, aged it looked like, or even a significant leak, or flooding."

" Ohh yeah, I am suppose to go back to the wizarding world just like that and take up where I left off? Yeah it won't look a bit suspicious if I come home and say, Hey mom and dad! I remember telling you that I would never be back unless I was in a coffin, well, I sort of changed my mind!"

" Ohh shut up and stop over reacting!!!! For heavens sake, if you TRULY love that girl you'd get off you BIG BUTT and try SOMETHING!!!!! DO SOMETHING!!!!! BE THE MAN THAT YOU CLAIM THAT YOU ARE! Otherwise you are just laying down to die. FIGHT, DAMN IT, FIGHT FOR HER!!!!!"

His mouth was stuck open again! He had never heard her act in that manner before!!! I mean this was Hermione for heavens sake!!!! What happened to the do gooder that I use to know?

" Are you going to just stand there and catch flies with that bloody open trap of yours, or are you going to actually do something now? hmm?" She stood there and gave me this look, like if you don't jump, I'll push and so I hesitated no more.

As soon as I could remember how to do it, I apparated, and before I knew it I was in the airport bathroom. There were a few mystified people in the bathroom when I appeared because, well, it was the girls' bathroom!

As soon as I was no longer red faced and had escaped the nasty looks I was being shot, I ran down to the ticket master, pulled out the first credit card that I could manage to get out of my wallet, and bought the first [ first class of course] ticket to Great Britain that I could possibly manage, and was off. My flight was to leave in an hour and so all I had to do was manage to find the gate, # 14, from which I would leave.

I ran the entire way there, assuming that the faster that I got there, the faster that I would find her, but I was stopped by, guess who, Hermione AGAIN!!!

"Yes, and you would like to do what, just standing there in my way, I have a plane to catch!!!"

"Yes I know, and so do I!", and she pulled out a ticket that was seated next to his.

" But how could you..how did you know.. ", but all she did was smile and give me an "I'm smarter than you" look, and we headed for the gate at a normal pace.

Later, on the plane, I had to endure the corniest movies of all time. I thought that by the end of this flight I would be the one that needed the helping. But then I took up the idea that the smarter one had, sleeping!!!! The flight was long and grueling because I would wake up at the slightest bit of turbulance scared out of my wits [Not that I would ever admit it!] that we were going to crash. Note that this was only the second time that I had ever been in a moving airplane, even though I do enjoy flying a broom very much, I preferred being the one in control of where I was going. But the odd thing that I just realized was that both times I was in an airplane were because of Ginny! But it was also then that I realized that I gave up everything for her twice as well. And I think that was all that Hermione really wanted to me to prove to her, that I would actually do something for her. But it also seemed as if she was keeping something from me, something important, but I kept that thought to myself.

After touchdown, I thought that it would never come [so did my stomach!]! I was shaken out of my dreamless state and I have to admit that I had only one thing that I could think of, Ginny. Now that she was alive, I felt that all life had been breathed back into me. Even with the return of Hermione, I felt a strange sort of relief.

We left the plane in hurry for the nearest bathroom. " Ok, you are going to apparate to your parents house, right?"

" Yeah, of course, where else would I go? By the way, where are you going to be hiding out while I am gone?"

" Ohh, I am going to be at my place, remember the hide out that I share with Neville, anyways just try to contact me through the mirror, ok!"

"Alright.. hey what a bloody minute? Am I suppose to go back home in the wiz." there was a man staring at us in a confused sort of way, so I lowered my voice so that only the two of us could hear, ".wizarding world with muggle clothing on?"

She stood there for a moment then an idea struck her, how did I know this you ask? Well, because her face sprung into an evil grin.

" Harry.", she said feeling very proud of herself.

" What the hell is that suppose to mean? Harry? I will not ask Saint Potter for help, I simply refuse!!! I will not ask that PERSON for a single favor!!!! NO. I simply refuse.", I said angerly, my face was almost a purple color, I was so furious!

Then she shot me that "Ohh really" look, and I knew that I had no choice. I didn't want to endure another attack like the one back in the US, so I closed my eyes, sucked it up, and asked for directions.
