Chapter 14After tackling a few more plants that were violent, Peter finally came to collect them.
"Wonderful work! Lucius will be very happy! That plant had been giving us a bit of trouble for a while." He squeaked, his nose twitched like the little rat he was. He magically put them in chains again and marched them out of the green house.
Hermione felt her stomach grumble, she was so hungry. By looking up at the sun, she estimated that it could've been about three in the afternoon.
"Sit." Peter said abruptly, causing Ron to collide into Hermione.
The hot sun was beating down on them; Hermione felt the sweat roll down the sides of her face.
They both sat down on the hard, rocky ground, which was equally hot as the sun.
She could hear Ron mumbling behind her.
Two house-elves scurried towards them each carrying a tray.
When one of the house-elves placed the tray in front of her, she saw two pieces of already chewed bacon strips; a small bowl of seasoned rice, which looked edible, and in the goblet was some yellowish liquid.
Peter said the spell to remove the chains and then he backed away from them. He pointed his wand at them and said, "Bublermos!"
Hermione squinted at Peter, who was now making his way back into the castle.
"What kind of incantation was that?" She asked Ron, she saw him get up from the ground.
"I have no idea, maybe we could make a run for it while he's gone." Ron suggested taking a few steps forward. He held up his hands in front of him, suddenly he screamed in pain.
"Ouch!"
Hermione got on her feet in a flash, "Ron!" she exclaimed.
Ron groaned looking down at his hands, which were now burnt, "I felt something like an invisible wall, and then I felt something hot…the damn thing burned me!"
Hermione wished that she had her wand to heal him; she took hold of his hand tenderly. Small bubbles were starting to form, one bubble on his finger swelled and then bursted causing pus to drip down his finger and onto the floor.
"I can't even eat now!" Ron realized a horrified look on his face.
"I'll help you." Hermione offered, sitting down once more. She was thankful that the back of her dress was frilly so when she sat on it the heat from the floor wouldn't burn her.
Ron followed her lead.
Hermione looked at Ron's tray and picked up the most edible thing, which in his case was the bacon strips and brought it to his mouth.
Hermione saw Ron grin before opening his mouth and taking a bite.
Her cheeks flushed, she looked down at her own tray and with her other hand she picked up a fork and dipped it into the rice.
While Ron was merrily chewing, she lifted the fork to her nose and smelt it. It smelt a bit strange but she opened her mouth and shoved the rice into her mouth. She heard something crunch as she chewed, she lifted her eyebrows in surprise.
"Ron…something crunched!" she exclaimed, different ideas of what it could've been ran through her mind, "What if it was a cockroach, or a-a-" she stammered.
"Well, at least you don't feel something wriggling in your stomach, right now!" Ron pointed out making Hermione shut up.
After about an hour Peter came for them again, "Now, it's time for you to get washed up." He said removing the invisible bubble and leading them into the castle in chains.
They followed, silently.
"Inside, the two of you." Peter said opening a door and pushing them both into the room, "You'll find everything you need in there and also a change of clothes. You can't wear that for what you'll do in the upcoming days." With that, he closed the door and locked it from the outside.
Ron seemed to think that, that's how they must've locked Harry, Ginny, and the rest of the Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws. He doubted that any of the Slytherins were trapped in a tower or room.
He felt his blood boiling at that thought of the Slytherins running loose cursing everyone in sight.
He heard the sound of the water being turned on and remembered where he was.
He looked around the room and saw that there were two stalls, like a toilet stall but instead it had a shower and it was much bigger, about two or three people could fit in one stall. The only problem was that the two stalls were right next to each other and the height of the walls of the stalls was only about 5'6" and Ron was above that height.
"At least the water works." Hermione said emerging from one of the stalls. She walked to the small wooden table that was across the stalls, there was also a small mirror hanging over it.
She opened a drawer and pulled out two towels, they looked as if they had already been used. Then, she proceeded to open the second drawer; she pulled out some clothes and put them on the table.
Ron went by her and rummaged through the clothes, he found a pair of jeans that was about two inches shorter than his usual pants and a loose white shirt.
Hermione found some blue shorts and a red t-shirt.
Then, they each found under garments and head into the stalls.
Once Ron hung his clothes on a nail that was situated on the inside of the stall, he peered over at Hermione's stall.
He saw her trying to jump and pull off the showerhead.
"Let me help you." Ron said, reaching over and pulling down the showerhead from the semi circle holder that was holding it.
"Thanks." Hermione said, then realization crossed over her face, "Ron/ Get out of there!" she exclaimed, she opened her stall door and walked out.
Ron opened his door to be greeting by a glowering Hermione, "Don't you dare watch me while I'm taking a shower!"
Ron laughed, "Now why would I do that?" he asked teasingly.
Hermione looked up at him, weighing the sincerity in his voice, "I swear I'll never talk to you ever again if you do." She turned on her heel and went back to her stall, she slammed the door shut, and with a huff, she put on the water.
After their shower, they were ushered back into their dungeon, which was now clean.
Hermione put her head on the pillow and sighed, "Finally! Clean sheets!" she exclaimed.
Ron rolled his eyes, but he was smiling.
Suddenly, the door opened and a Death Eater walked in.
"Tonight Mr. Viktor Krum has requested you to meet him in his chambers. The activities that will take place will not be discussed." The Death Eater said looking at Hermione.
Hermione sat up and stared at him, "W-what?"
"I will personally escort you, see you until then." The Death Eater stepped out of the room as quickly as he came leaving Hermione and Ron speechless.
