DISCLAIMER: Why would it be any different from before? I still don't own the rights to either Harry Potter or Gilligan's Island and I probably never will!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I don't need to say anything super different from what I said before the last episode. Y'all should know that this episode will actually have some action in it now that they're stranded. Like I said earlier, I've never really paid attention to Gilligan's Island so don't flame me if this isn't even remotely similar. I'm just winging it. Also, thanks to everyone who submitted a review! I love hearing y'all's opinions! Keep the reviews coming! And this time, I'll try to keep the lame narration to a minimum!

EPISODE 2: A Very Surprising Discovery

"Where the bloody hell are we?" Ron asked. The inflatable rafts they had boarded while the boat was sinking had washed up on shore. But, what shore was it?

"Why are you asking us?" Fred asked, "We're just as clueless as you are!"

"It was a rhetorical question, Fred," Ron replied, "I didn't expect an answer because I know that no one else knows the answer. Unless Hermione's figured it out already," he added.

"As much as you would like to think that I'm a big know-it-all," Hermione said, "I don't always know it all! I have no clue where we are either!"

"Well maybe if we could stop getting into an argument over who knows where we are," Harry said, "we could actually try to find out where we are!"

"Well Ron started it!" Hermione said.

"No I didn't! You did!" Ron replied.

"COULD WE ALL QUIT ACTING LIKE CHILDREN AND COOPERATE FOR ONCE?" Neville shouted, "All this fighting is giving me a headache!" Everyone shut up.

"Sorry Neville," Ron and Hermione said in unison.

"Ok," Neville said, "Now that everyone has finally shut up, what were you saying earlier Harry?"

"I said," Harry replied, "that we could look around this place to see where we are. I don't know if this is an island or a distant part of the shore we set sail from. We need to find that out." He looked around and saw a small mountain further in the jungle. "We could send someone up that mountain to look around and see if this is an island or not."

"That's a brilliant idea!" Hermione exclaimed, "If only I had thought of that! See Ron?" she added, "I really don't always know everything."

"Oh shut up!" Ron snapped.

Hermione was about to respond but Ginny stopped her. "Could we please not have another argument?" she said, "It's bad enough that we're stranded here, we don't need you two to start arguing and make it worse!"

Harry continued with his plan. "I think that Fred, George, and I should go up the mountain to look around," he said.

"What, and leave us here to make sure that Ron and Hermione don't kill each other?" Neville replied, "No way! Have one of them go with Fred and George! I can't stand watching them fight!"

"I'll go," Ron volunteered. So he, Fred, and George went up the mountain and Harry stayed behind with Hermione, Ginny, and Neville.

Harry turned to the remaining three. "I guess we just sit and wait now," he said. So they sat and waited for Ron, Fred, and George to return. They came back a few minutes later.

"Dang, that was a short mountain," Ron said, "It didn't take us long at all!"

"So what did you see?" Ginny asked.

"Water all around," George answered.

"What does that mean?" Neville asked, sounding very confused. Everyone groaned at Neville's lack of logical thinking skills.

"It means we're on an island, moron!" Ron replied.

"Oh," Neville said, "and, what does that mean?"

"It means we're on a small piece of land that is totally surrounded by the ocean!" Ron answered, getting annoyed by Neville's stupid questions.

"And what does that mean?" Neville asked again.

"That means that there's no way off!" Ron replied, getting more annoyed.

"And what does that mean?" Neville asked, still confused.

"That means we're stranded!" Ron replied, getting even more annoyed.

"And what does that mean?" Neville asked, still as confused as he was earlier.

"That means we're all stuck here together and we have no available methods of getting back home so we're probably going to be here awhile!" Ron replied, getting extremely annoyed.

"And what does that mean?" Neville asked again, even though he already understood what it meant by now.

"IT MEANS THAT IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP NOW I'M GOING TO STRANGLE YOU!" Ron yelled.

"Oh," Neville said, "I get it now."

"So, now what do we do?" Ginny asked.

"Well, I guess we should start coming up with a plan for how to get off this island," Harry replied.

"I have an idea!" Hermione said.

"Of course you do," Ron scowled. Hermione ignored him.

"We could have either Fred or George try to apparate back to where we came from and get help! They're old enough now," Hermione suggested.

"Not a good idea," George replied.

"We don't know how far away we are from home," Fred explained, "We could be hundreds of miles away for all we know! And apparating can be very risky over very long distances!"

"And even if we did make it," George added, "We still wouldn't know where this island is in relation to the port we set sail from so we wouldn't be able to tell anyone where we came from and no one would be able to come and rescue the rest of you!"

"Oh yeah," Hermione said. She already knew this fact about apparating. "I forgot about that."

"We could build a fire to signal other ships," Ginny suggested, "I read that muggles do that in this kind of situation."

"But why should we do what muggles do," Fred replied, "when we've got something they don't have!"

"What would that be?" Neville asked.

"Wands!" Fred replied, "We don't need to make a signal fire, we can signal ships by shooting sparks out of our wands! And even underage wizards can use magic in an emergency!"

"Maybe we should practice first," Ron suggested, remembering how bad Neville was at even the simplest spells, "Everyone get your wand out. Especially you, Neville," he added. Ron reached into his pocket for his wand, but found nothing. "Bloody hell!" he exclaimed, "My wand's missing!"

"Mine is too!" Ginny said.

"So is mine!" Neville added.

"We can't find ours either!" Fred and George said in unison.

"I've lost my wand too!" Harry exclaimed.

"They must have fallen out of our pockets when we abandoned ship," Hermione guessed. She had lost her wand as well.

Ron sat down, depressed. "I don't know how we're going to survive out here," he said, "Not one of us knows anything about muggle survival skills. We were born and raised as wizards. We know nothing about muggle life."

"Me neither," Neville added, "I was born and raised as a wizard too."

"The Dursleys never let me do anything," Harry said, "I remember Dudley joined a Boy Scout troop once, but they didn't let me join. So I don't know much about the outdoors either."

"We're all doomed!" Neville cried.

Hermione got up. "It seems as though you've forgotten something," she said. They all looked up at her. "I have muggle parents, remember? I lived life as a muggle until the day I got the letter saying that I had been accepted at Hogwarts! I know everything about living as a muggle!"

"True," George said, "But do you know anything about basic muggle outdoor survival skills?"

Hermione grinned. "I know much more than the basics," she replied.

"How much more?" Fred asked.

Hermione figured she should tell them the story. She had wondered when the time would come that she would have to tell her friends this secret about herself that she had kept hidden for many years, and she could clearly see that the time had finally come to tell them. "I was going to tell you this eventually," she said. "The very first book I ever read on my own was my father's old Boy Scout handbook."

"WHAT?" Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, and Neville said in unison. Hermione started to tell them the story.

"My father used to be an Eagle Scout," she explained, "One day, when I was very little, I found his old Boy Scout handbook in a closet and started to read it by myself. I eventually memorized it. Not only that, but I completely understood everything that was written in there. My father thought it was very interesting that I had memorized and understood the entire Boy Scout handbook at such a young age, so he decided to take me camping with him so I could practice everything I learned and he even taught me the other survival skills my grandfather had taught him that weren't even mentioned in the handbook. Now, I not only KNOW every single outdoor survival skill that an experienced Eagle Scout would know, but I can actually USE those skills as well!"

There was a moment of absolute silence. Harry, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, and Neville could hardly believe what they had just heard. They all sat there, completely amazed with this piece of information that they would never had expected to be true about Hermione. The silence had gone on for what seemed like an eternity, when suddenly...

"NO WAY!" everyone shouted at once.

"Yes way!" Hermione shouted back.

"Bloody hell!" Ron exclaimed, "I can't believe this! Are you serious, Hermione?"

"I've probably never been more serious in my life," she replied.

"Why didn't you tell us this before?" Ginny asked.

"You never asked!" she answered.

"So let me get this straight," Harry said, "what you're trying to tell us is that you know so much about Boy Scout outdoor survival skills that if it weren't for the fact that you are not a boy nor are you a member of any Boy Scout troop, you could actually be an experienced Eagle Scout?"

"Yeah, pretty much," Hermione replied.

"That is way too cool!" Ginny exclaimed.

I hope you enjoyed reading this episode! I'll make another one soon!
