Chapter 7
The Quest Begins
Harry, Hermione, Ron, and I all looked a the watch Dumbledore had pulled out of his robe.
"This portkey will only work twice, once getting to Black Arrow Forest and the other time coming back to Hogwarts." Dumbledore put it on the table, "Now all of you come and hold the watch."
We walked up to it and put our hands on the rusty surface of the watch.
Suddenly I felt my stomach turn, I was swirling around and around. I could barely see Dumbledore smile, then it was like the world flashed by me.
THUD! I landed on dark, squishy leaves, then out of the air popped Ron, Hermione, and Harry. Harry fell on top of my back, and Hermione rolled just out of the way before Ron landed on her.
"Ow! Get of me!" I yelled.
"Sorry," Harry said, rolling off me.
"Well this is it." Hermione said getting to her feet, "I guess I should tell you guys that I found out more information about the three elf sisters." Ron rolled his eyes.
"Well, what is it?" Harry asked.
"The elf sisters were said to be goddesses of the world." Hermione stated.
"Ya, so?" Ron said.
"So, the sisters suppossedly are one with each element and have contol over them." Hermione paused, "The oldest sister has control of the wind, the middle sister is one with fire, and the youngest sister has power over water." Seeing that everyone had blank faces she said, "We have to visit the realm of each element to find the elf sisters."
"Well that sounds fun." Ron said dryly.
"Lets get started then." I suggested.
Everyone started walking aimlessly into the forest. We walked for a while until we came up to a lake. This lake was clear and beautiful, it had an open clearingn on the side of the lake with one small tree in the middle of the clearing.
"I don't know about you guys but that clearing across the lake looks like as good a place to camp as any." I said.
"Why not?" Ron answered.
So, we headed around the lake, walking slowly, the water was memorizing. The clear blue looked playful and fun and it made me want to go swiming. By the time we reached the clwearing it was sarting to get dark.
"We should get a fire started." I said flatly.
"But where are we going to SLEEP?" Questioned Ron.
"Why don't I see if this thing works?" Hermione sudjested, pointing to her necklace.
"Fine, You do that. I'll go get some firewood." I said. Hermione sat down and concentrated, followed by Ron who leaned on the tree. I didn't have to read his mind to tell that he was thinking, 'I got to see this.'
I walked into the forest and started to gather some wood, Harry following me. We collected enough to last the night, but that was it. As we got back to the clearing after a half an hour of searching the forest, I heard yelling. I could here the words that were being yelled.
"You've been staring at that bloody tree for half an hour! Its not going to work Hermione!" Ron yelled.
"You can sleep on the ground for all I care! It doesn't concern YOU!" Hermione yelled back.
"It does if your gonna' stay up all night, and make us wait for you to pull yourself out of that stupid, squating position! And another thing! You don't have to keep hissing at me to be quiet when I'm not making a sound!"
"Just shut up! You don't know ANYTHING! All you have to do is swing your sword around like a blasted hero, but guess what Ron! I don't need you to protect ME!" Hermione screamed. Suddenly the tree shook, and a root poped out of the ground.
