"Look! They're organising a trip to the seaside!" Ron screeched sounding like a five year old.
"It's only if you take muggle studies" Hermione added, deflating Ron's happiness.
"That's not fair!" he stomped
"It's to study Muggle business, Holidays, that sort of thing." Harry Grabbed the notice.
"Ha! My Aunt and Uncle have a holiday home in Devon!" He said, "I always wanted to go, they'd leave me with Aunt Marge" he cringed.
"There is a way that we could go." Ron looked at Harry.
"No Ron! You and Harry are not going to use the cloak!" Hermione said sternly.
Hermione stepped into Prof. Thomas' office. He was sat reading a large battered book to Evie.
"and then the mighty strength of the vampire was matched by the young woman and with one swift movement his head had disappeared – oh Hermione." He stood up and threw the book down.
"I told you not to read her stories about past slayers!" She said
"I'm sorry it was either that or 101 demons and the ways to kill them, now with colour photos!" He held up another book that looked quite new and had a rather slimy creature on the front.
"Ok you win" she picked Evie up and sat her on her lap. "I've come to ask if it's alright if I go on the muggle studies trip."
"Trip? Where to?" "Devon, North Devon"
"Very nice place is North Devon, I used to live there."
"Are you gonna go? You know, see if the place is still the same?"
"No! I um, I have a lot to do here thank you," he shuffled some papers.
"I was going to ask if you could look after Evie?"
"Yea sure, when do you go?" he looked up
"Tomorrow, we have to go by bus, look mugglish" she walked to the door "I'll bring her stuff later." She was gone.
Hermione hadn't seen Harry or Ron the next day and thought that they must be still upset about not being able to go. She stepped on the bus and sat near the back.
"Hey! Watch it Hermione!" She looked at where she was going to sit and Ron emerged from under Harry's cloak.
"Ron! You are so dead if they catch you!" she hissed
"It's not just me, Harry's hear as well!" he hissed back
"Oh well done!" Harry said sarcastically.
"Don't say anything Hermione, please?" Ron begged. "I've always wanted to go to the seaside."
"I wasn't going to" Hermione sat in the seat behind them. "What kind of friend would I be? But you have to promise that if you get found out I ain't gonna take any blame for this. Ok?"
"Yeah" they both said in unison.
They bus started up and they were on their way. Dean Thomas had brought his walkman and speakers and he blasted some muggle tunes down the bus.
"What's this then?" Ron said cringing at the noise.
"It's The Darkness" Hermione said "Not exactly my thing"
"Oh, I think there ok" Ron turned and looked out of the window.
They arrived at about 1 o'clock and got into their hotel.
"Now class!" the teacher announced, "You can explore but please stay in groups and don't use any magic, if you do you'll be out of here faster than you can blink."
"wow, she's pretty strict" Ron added.
"Yeah so blend in" Hermione warned.
They decided to explore the beach that was next to the town they were staying in. Ron ran down the sand dune at full speed and headed straight for the sea.
"Look over there!" Ron shouted. "Have you ever seen anyone with hair as red as that?"
Harry and Hermione both looked over to Ron was pointing there was a couple sitting on a group of rocks talking to each other.
"Wow, they look pretty much in love" Harry observed. The couple kissed and the girl walked to the water. She walked in and then plunged into the waves. She waved to the guy and then swam away.
"That was weird" he added.
Hermione looked closely at the man as he returned to the rock. She new him from somewhere.
"Her Herm, where you going?" Ron shouted.
"Wait there" she whispered. She walked closer to the rock and then she realised who he was, "Prof Thomas! Hey over here!" she waved to him and he looked up. He jumped off the rock and disappeared.
"Where'd he go?"
