Chapter 19: Back in Time
From then on out, those three were inseparable, as if nothing ever happened. Whenever they talked, it was never about those fights. Who was to say it ever happened if no one remember it. Ron new he had to face what the consequences of those days that they fought, but right now was just not the time. He loved having friends, HIS friends back. He was even starting to get his old personality back causing all the younger students to look to Neville even more.
While they walked back from classes the next day, Ron asked, "So do we have a plan to... you know."
Hermione moved from beside Harry to Ron, and told him, "I think I have come up with a way to move him back. I believe in the next couple of days it will be ready."
Lavender looked over to them asking, "Moving who back?" Lavender was starting to migrate over to their group in that passing day. It was clear to her that they must have come to an agreement, and she was thankful for that. Lavender always had a soft spot for that lonely red head, but now that he was back with his friends, his good-humored perspective had returned to him making her want to be near him more.
Hermione shot a look to Harry that clearly said, 'Quick, say something before she gets suspicious.'
He got the hint and replied, "Well... umm... Trevor has been... um... staying in new place for a while...so... we are getting everything ready for him to return home."
Lavender sensed the tension form his words, and hesitated on replying, "Oh, ok." She did not question them, and feeling unwanted she walked back over to Parvarti.
Ron looked over to Hermione and ask, "Don't we need to see if she is ok. I don't want her to think that we don't want her around."
Hermione said, "Ron don't be silly. She will be ok, plus we really do need to talk about this."
Ron with a sad expression on his face said, "I know, but she looked so sad when she left."
Hermione started to laugh at this last comment saying, "If I didn't know better, I would think you were smitten, Ron."
Ron started to turn red and quickly changed the subject with out responding to her last comment. "So... Hermione, tell me about how your plan works."
Harry busted out laughing causing many students to look back at the three to see what was so funny. Through chuckles, Harry asked in a sarcastic tone, "No, Ron you did not want to change the subject did you?"
Ron hit Harry in the ribs saying, "Ha... Neville stop laughing, and Hermione, how are we going to do this?"
Hermione allowed the subject change, and told them both about all the new information she was finding out. She told them about the fact that the switch had to occurred in the Hospital wing so they were near Harry's body. When his soul was to be released, Ron was to capture it, and make sure it goes back to its rightful place. She even believed that she would be ready to do the body switch on Saturday. Hermione had come to the conclusion that would also be the best day to go through with the process, because it was a Hogsmead weekend allowing them to be alone in the castle.

For the next couple of days, Hermione worked none stop on the spell she would have to complete to perform the body transfer. The other guys just sat around and played chess to get their minds off of what was to come. Harry kept thinking, 'What if this does not work? What will happen to Neville? What will happen to me if I cant get out?'
Hermione interrupted his train of thought with a "Uut Oh."
Ron drooped his chess piece at those two words causing it to walk of the table in discuss. Ron did not notice this though because both him and Harry had turn in their seats to look straight at Hermione.
Harry was the first to speak. "Hermione, What's the Uut Ooh?"
Hermione kept reading her book like it was her essence of life.
Ron decided to see if he could get a response out of her, he said, "Hermione, can you still do the spell?"
Hermione still did not look up from the book, but she finally spoke. "Umm... Harry...I am reading some of the side affects, and... um..."
Harry got up at this and sat right beside and said, "Go on Hermione. Does the spell make me have a tail or something? Please just tell me."
Hermione looked straight into Harry's eyes saying, "Well, it's going too... hurt."
Harry chuckled at this, "Is that it. That's not so bad."
Hermione finished her sentence, "a lot."
Ron came over clearly taking this more seriously then Harry, and asked, "How much will this affect him?"
Hermione looked back down into her book and read, "Once the spell has been performed, the demon's soul will be ripped from the persons body. Do not be afraid if the person starts to convulse. As the soul leaves the body in the form of dark light, the subject will experience pain that has been compared to the Cruciatus curse."
Harry looked at her with a smile confusing Hermione even more. "Is that all? I thought it was something really bad."
Hermione looked at him shocked, "Harry, that is something bad. I don't want to place on of those curses on you."
Harry took Hermione hands in his, "Hermione, you want be hurting me. You will be saving me, and if that means I have to experience a little discomfort than that's ok."
Their eyes locked. Hermione looked into his beautiful eyes suddenly seeing the green coming through the corners. They started to get closer and closer. Hermione closed her eyes preparing for the inevitable. Suddenly Ron came out of the blue, and sat right in the middle of the two breaking the moment.
Ron wrapped his arms around both of their shoulder, and said, "Well if that is it then I think we are about ready don't you."
Hermione turned red and got up quickly. "Yeah... I think we are ready... yeah ...Well I am getting sleepy. I think I am going to bed."
Harry got up too. "Yeah good idea... (Yon)... I think I will go to sleep too."
They both quickly went up the stairs to their separate dorm rooms, and left Ron all alone on the couch.
Ron with a confused expression asked to no one "Did I say something?"
