A/N: Yeah! Yet another chappie is going up! *bursts with pride* Ha.
Chapter Nine
Disclaimer: Hmmm…. Everyone knows that my name is not on the Harry Potter books,
JK Rowling's is and so, Harry and them belong to her…bah!
Fred scowled as he and George landed back on the school grounds.
Everyone, students and teachers alike, came hurrying toward the two Weasleys.
"What went on up there?" Said one person.
"Why did you do that?" Asked another.
"ARE YOU HALF OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?"
Fred and George cringed simultaneously as Professor McGonagall, who was by
that time a quite nice shade of red, came stampeding towards them.
"Well," Fred started. "I like to think that I have my whole mind, but hey, maybe half of it just blew away and disappeared…kinda like come of our friends and family…"
"Yeah," George said, continuing on where Fred had left off. "At least we tried to do something; we figured that we probably should help…half a brain and all."
McGonagall had quickly changed from a brilliant red to scarily white, she had
gone rigid with fury. "You two. Dumbledore's office. NOW!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco stumbled forward clumsily and Harry on an instinct went to help him.
"I don't need your help, Potter." Malfoy spat. "Why are you here anyway?
Everyone knows Harry Potter is too good to have not escaped when there is danger."
The Malfoy's insult bounced right off Harry, for once, because Draco was
obviously was in desperate need for assistance. The boy tried to rise to his feet, sweat beading on his forehead from the effort, but he simply couldn't.
"Come on," Harry said, trying not to sound demeaning or to let his strong dislike get in the way of helping. "Grab my arm, you can lean on me. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny are over there, let's just get to them and then we can decide what to do from
there."
Malfoy made a face, but in the end gave in, putting some of his weight on Harry and hobbling rather undignified looking in the direction where Hermione and Ron watched over Ginny.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back by Ginny Hermione scavenged around, trying to make things more
comfortable. Who knew how long they would be there?
Ron helped a bit, but then it became apparent that their efforts were meaningless, they sat side by side, backs leaned against the top of a overturned broken table.
Hermione yawned and Ron stretched. It had been a long, long day. A few quiet minutes passed and Hermione fell asleep, her head laid on Ron's shoulder. Ron too drifted off to dreamland, his head laid upon hers.
And that was the sight that greeted Ginny as she abruptly awoke, gasping for
breathe.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hogwarts loomed big as ever as ever on the edge of the lake. A small wind blew through the trees of the forbidden forest and all went still.
Above the school on a plane filled with muggles soared where minutes before there had been a tornado. A little girl seated on the plane stuck her nose to the window and watched as the glass fogged up from the heat of her breath.
Then, the scenery below them changed, going from old condemned building to giant school in the blink of an eye and then back again. Not sure of what she had seen, the girl cleared the smug that her breath had left and watched the place intently.
The scenery flashed again and again like the light from a light bulb that was old and about to go out. Then, after about a minute of the rapid flickering, it stayed fixed on what was really there, the enormous school and it's grounds.
"Daddy?" The girl asked her father seated beside her. "What's that?" Just as the man turned to look, the scenery transformed back to the old building, the school disappeared from sight.
"Oh, that's nothing, sweetheart, just some structure getting up in the years." The man smiled and patted his daughter's head. "Now, why don't you sleep for the rest of the trip? We have another couple hours to go."
The girl tried to explain the way the surrounding had shifted, but the plane was gone from that spot now and there was no way to prove what had went on.
Eventually she gave up and simply went to sleep. But there were others on that plane, people who had been filming the English countryside and they would not rest until they had an explanation for the footage on their tape of an odd landscape that kept changing from one thing to another…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione woke with a start and got over to Ginny as quickly as she could. "Spiritus servo!" She said with a commanding tone as she gave her wand a quick flick.
Ginny seemed to be able to breath better now, she coughed a bit and then relaxed. "Hermione, what are you doing here?" She asked in a weak voice.
Ron looked about as shocked and happy as one could be, he had been awoken so abruptly that he still wasn't quite sure what was going on.
Then his jaw dropped. "No…it couldn't be."
Hermione looked in the direction that Ron was looking in. Harry and Draco…helping each other…what would happen next?
Just then an entire side of the room opened up and blinding sunlight shone in through the gap where a wall had once been.
