Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any other characters. Never have, never will.
A/N: So sorry about not updating here are my excuses:
· As you know, I live in Nacogdoches and I was up playing on neopets when I heard a loud boom. It scared the crap out of me. I seriously thought we were being bombed. I switched on the news but there were only car chases. I was so confused. Later we got calls about the shuttle crashing. I had not idea that a shuttle was even landing that day! Yes, now you know how informed we were! It was a very busy weekend and week. We found five pieces of debris in our yard, and a piece of blue cloth, which had supposedly, came from their pants... NASA said they'd get back to us in a few weeks at the most! If you want to see our debris, go here: http://www.brotherabe.com/couombia. Yeah we got guards (not anymore though) they had too leave *sniff* I had grown very fond of them.
· The other reason is because of my ducklings. They hatched the day after the Columbia shuttle crash. My friends urged me to name my little duck (yes only one hatched, the other eggs couldn't pip the shell) Columbia. That would be too sad for me, so I stuck with his original name, Pippin. Merry didn't hatch or else I'd have a little duo. I've been really preoccupied. Want to see my duck, go here: http://www.brotherabe.com/Picturesabe/upclose.gif enjoy!
· Last but not least: School. Yes school it bites us in the butt doesn't it! Well I'm not going to let it stop me from writing my fanfic so here we go:
ON WITH THE STORY: (yes I know it's a short chappie)
Hermione broke the kiss. Her face was burning. The dementors had backed up a distance but quickly regained their lost ground. She wasn't panicking but she knew that the dementors weren't going to stand there forever. Hermione was staring deep into Harry's eyes. She felt uncomfortable because he was doing the exact same thing to her. Harry's eyes shifted to the door. Hermione followed his gaze. Lupin walked into the room with smile on his face, it soon turned into a frown as he mentally counted the number of dementors in the room. He dropped whatever he was holding, took out his wand and began shooting large patronus(s) at the dementors. Hermione was surprised to see only two turn into blobs. The expression on Lupins face was indescribable. Hermione's fears were confirmed.
I knew those boggarts were acting funny. I thought my patronus was just weak…so that means that those were real dementors.
The thought took a second to sink in.
Hermione gazed at Lupin, he was summoning foreign spells that seemed to drive out most of the dementors, and some just left on their own account.
"Are you two ok, I had no idea, I only let two boggarts in the room!"
Hermione was speechless. Nothing would come out of her mouth even if she tried.
"The dementors must have seen the two boggart ones and decide to investigate," said Lupin.
Yeah right Professor Lupin, they were more likely after Harry! Everyone knows how they act around him. I highly believe the dementors are on our side anymore!
Hermione wished she could say all this but she was just too stunned. Lupin turned toward Harry, who looked extremely pale.
"Harry are you ok, I had no idea, honestly!" Lupin said with a note of concern in his voice.
Harry coughed. "We're fine I think. They just frightened us-"
"-badly," finished Hermione. Hermione couldn't believe how she was sounding. She sounded so hoarse and shaky.
"Would you two give me a second?" Lupin asked.
Lupin didn't need an answer. He pulled out a light pink crystal ball (the kind of crystal you see for sale in Arkansas on the side of the road ^_~) which had an indent on the top that contained no more than a lid full of water. He tapped his wand on it and it showed what had just happened. It strongly resembled a pensive.
A small smile appeared on Lupins face, "ah, well I see you two have definably passed." He looked over at both of them and grinned. It looks as if I'll have to give some extra credit. I see Miss Granger, that the action might have possibly saved Mr. Potters life!"
Was that smile that she saw? No, Harry seemed frightened, why would he-
"Thanks," Harry said.
Hermione stuttered, "No problem Harry, honestly, do you think I would let some dementors finish you off!"
Harry laughed, as well as Lupin, Hermione only blushed.
"Well, I should be expecting my next group soon; I'll have to send you two off now. Good luck with your next task, there's a rabbits foot over there, it should transport you safely!"
Harry and Hermione walked over to the rabbit's foot.
"Ready," asked Harry.
"Wait, there's an old muggle tradition where if you rub a rabbits foot you will receive good luck," Hermione said quickly.
Harry smiled and they both clutched the rabbit foot as it transported them to their next destination.
Hermione rubbed the rabbit's foot as it took them to their next task; she and Harry needed all the luck they could get!
A/N: Review please, and if you have any ideas…LET ME KNOW…I'm kind of getting low now… (Sorry if it's a little choppy, my ducks here in my lap…he keeps biting me which is why he need to go, right now! Ewww poo!"
