Tragic Tales of Teenagers Chapter Four Vacation

The next day, Ron threw a bunch of wadded-up clothes into a big, orange, duffel bag. He tossed in his usual necessities and then a couple of extra things. Then he owled Hermione and Harry, telling them to be at his place at five in the morning or else they would leave without them.

Hermione packed a ton of things in her suitcase. Everything mostly black. Harry packed his super-hero costume, leg wax, and much more. Everyone was pretty much set. Hermione wanted something special to wear though. She figured they might eat out at a nice restaurant sometime so she went out to buy a dress.

She went to the nicest place she could find. She must've tried on a million dresses before she found the perfect one. It was a deep blue dress that touched the ground until she put on some high-heels. It was sleeveless but sort of looked like a turtleneck. It was really pretty and Hermione was sure that it would turn Ron's head.

The next morning, everyone woke up to the sounds of their alarm clocks. It was nearly four in the morning and the sun had not yet risen. It was vacation day!

Hermione rolled out of bed and glared at her alarm clock. It had the most annoying buzzer on it. She grabbed the clock and threw it as hard as she could against the wall. It crumbled into many pieces that scattered onto the floor.

After packing, Hermione pulled her broom out of her closet. It was under a heap of clothes. Needless to say, she hadn't ridden in a while. Hermione wasn't very experienced in the art of flying.

Pointing her wand at her suitcase, Hermione demanded, "Hunarie Octavya!" The suitcase shrunk so small that it could fit in the pocket of Hermione's blue jeans pocket. And that's where she put it, in her pocket. She walked outside into the dark and put the broom between her legs.

After kicking off of the ground, Hermione quickly rose into the sky. She was a little nervous. She had never flown far distances before. But after a little while, she got used to it. Shortly after, she arrived at Ron's place. Harry was already there.

"Er.hello Hermione," said Ron, eyeing Hermione's belly shirt. He hadn't seen her this way before. He didn't know what to think of it either.

After a plane ride, everyone took their first steps in LeKeys. The ocean was as blue as ever, and the sand sparkled like crystals. The sun beamed down on them and a small breeze blew. It was so unreal.

A tall man escorted them to their rooms. There were three rooms in all. Arthur and Molly got a room to themselves. Ron, Harry, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, and Percy were all staying together. And Hermione and Ginny were in a room together.

Hermione and Ginny's room was luxurious. It looked like a mansion. In the bedroom was four beds.

"Why is there an extra two beds?" asked Ginny.

"Dunno. Maybe we have roommates,"

Just then, a girl walked in. She was carrying a rather large suitcase.

"Can I help you?" asked Hermione.

"Oh, hello! We must be roomies! I'm Allie," said the girl smiling.

Hermione's jaw dropped. She had to share a room with the girl Ron liked. How much worse could things get? Hermione stared at Allie as all three of them unpacked. She had on some tight blue jeans and a shirt that said 'Princess'. Maybe getting Ron would be harder than she thought.

Harry ran in and hollered, "Last one in the water is a loser!" Sometimes Harry was a little immature, but everyone liked him anyway.

Minutes later, the three girls walked out of their room in swimsuits. Ginny came out in her bright pink swimsuit. Then came Hermione in her one piece black swimsuit. Hermione glared at Allie when she walked out like a fashion model wearing a two piece bikini. It was red with pink Hawaiian flowers on it. She even had a little flower in her hair to match. And she was wearing a pair of boy shorts that were cut short.

Ron gawked at Allie. He had on some yellow swimming trunks. Harry ran past in a green Speedo and his super-hero cape.

"Woohoo! I'm in the water first!" Harry hollered. Ginny laughed and ran after him. She still had a huge crush on him.

Harry ran towards Libbie. Although Ginny didn't know it, Harry had a crush on Libbie. He had met her at Hogwarts.

Just then, a boy flew down from above on his broom.

"Oliver!" Allie shrieked as Oliver Wood smiled at her.

"Hey! I missed you! Want to go for a ride with me and we can catch up on everything?" Oliver asked. Allie said yes and hopped on the broom. They flew off someplace.

"Allie!" Ron yelled. He was disappointed, he had wanted to spend this vacation with her. Instead, he was stuck with Hermione. Ron looked over at Hermione. "So what do you want to do?"

Hermione ran to her room and slammed the door. Ron just shrugged and ran into the water.

Later, everyone went to a fancy dinner, just as Hermione had suspected. She wore her new dress, but didn't feel very pretty.

Oliver walked in with Allie and sat her down in her seat. She was dressed in a long flowing gown that looked almost too perfect. Her brown hair was all fixed up and curled for the occasion.

"Your girlfriend is hot!" Harry whispered to Oliver. Oliver laughed and talked with Harry more.

Five minutes into their meal, a tall girl walked in. She had dark brown hair that was in braids. She wore a silver dress that was a few inches above her knees. She sat down and winked at Oliver.

"Who's that?" Harry, Hermione, and Allie all asked at the same time.

"Close family friend and Oliver's best friend. Her name is Whitley and she used to be on the Slytherin Quidditch team," Ron said with a mouthful of potatoes.

"Best beater they ever had," Oliver added nodding.

After dinner, everyone decided to go to a beach party. Arthur and Molly went to a fancier party though.

Whitley showed up in her regular clothes, some baggy, faded jeans and a tight black shirt that had the name of a music group on it. Hermione liked her. She had good style and personality. But that wasn't the point. She simply had to get Ron to go out with her.

Oliver and Allie were dancing away from the crowd. Harry had asked Libbie to dance. Ginny and Hermione stood nearby.

"Ginny.would you dance with me?" came a squeaky voice, which belonged to Neville Longbottom. Ginny accepted his offer. Whitley was dancing with Bill and Charlie near the stage. Fred and George were filling up water balloons to throw at everyone. Hermione still alone though.

"May I have your attention everyone? I would like for Libbie and Whitley to come up here. Come on, I know you're out there. We want a performance!" said someone up on the stage where a live band had performed only moments ago.

Whitley and Libbie's band was known in many places. They got up on the stage and got prepared. They had to improvise since the rest of their band wasn't there. Suddenly, they broke into an amazing song. Libbie and Whitley both did vocals. Libbie played the drums and Whitley had the electric lead guitar. Their music was perfect.

Too depressed to hear anymore, Hermione stalked off. She slipped out of her clothes and into a swimsuit. She dove into the icy cold water of a pool and didn't plan on coming back up.
