A/N: Ummm... what to say... Oh! I love my reviewers. Aren't I a such little suck up? Enjoy chapter nine!
Chapter Nine: Hermione's Accident
Harry nodded, a cold bead of sweat dropping off of his forehead. "I think someone else should steer now."
"I will this time," Ron volunteered. They rowed back to shore and switched.
"Bloody hell, this is hard!" Ron groaned, trying to steer.
"I told you so," Harry told him.
"It can't be that hard," Hermione said.
"You just wait!" Ron shouted to her.
Hermione shrugged and continued paddling lightly.
"You're not even doing anything!" he added.
She shot him a dirty look and kept on paddling. As she faced the front again, she saw a boat with Neville, Seamus and Dean in it, headed straight into theirs!
"Ron!!" Hermione exclaimed. "Turn the canoe! We're going to crash!!!"
"Move it, Seamus!!!" Dean cried.
"This is hard, I tell you!" Seamus protested.
And indeed it was hard. Hermione, Seamus, Ron, Neville, Dean, and Harry all screamed as their canoes tipped over.
"Is everyone alright?" Amber called to them, quickly paddling over to them in her own canoe.
"Oh, just fine," Hermione replied sarcastically, hanging on to the over- turned canoe.
"Swim back to shore, it's not that far. I'll meet you there and we'll get you cleaned up," Amber told them, paddling away.
As the group made their way back to the shore, Hermione gave Ron a dirty look.
"What did I do??" Ron asked, noticing Hermione glaring at him.
"Amber is like ketchup," Hermione huffed rudely. "Totally useless."
Ron stopped dead in his tracks. "Did you just call ketchup useless?" he whispered gravely.
"Yes, I did," Hermione replied.
"Did you just call...ketchup...USELESS???" he asked, raising his voice.
"Yes, I did!" she replied more defiantly.
"DID YOU JUST CALL... KETCHUP...USELESS!?!?"
Hermione rolled her eyes. "No, Ron, I didn't" she said sarcastically.
"Oh, sorry," Ron apologized sheepishly. "I thought I heard you did."
"You're such a dingus!" She exclaimed, throwing up her hands.
Ron sniffed. "How dare you mock a man and his ketchup!"
She sighed, giving up. "Useless ketchup," she muttered.
Ron slapped the water. "Okay, that time you did say something! I just know it!"
"Oh, hey, how about that? We've made it to the shore!" Seamus said.
"Finally," Ron and Hermione grumbled.
"Jinx!" Ron yelled.
"That is such a pointless game," Hermione said. "Do people actually still do it?"
"No," Ron and Harry said.
"Jinx!" Harry exclaimed.
Ron hung his head in shame.
"For goodness sake, Ron!" said Hermione.
"Ha ha! I can talk now!" Ron shouted gleefully to Harry.
"Okay, let's get you cleaned up," Amber said, appearing before them. "The showers are right over there. Take these towels and wash up."
Each of them took a towel, and headed to the showers.
"I thought she was going to clean us up," Ron said disappointedly.
Harry just shook his head.
Once everyone was in a shower (Hermione being in the girls' showers, might I add), they washed up.
"Ron, what in the world are you washing your hair with?" Harry asked him.
"Ketchup," Ron replied, massaging the redness into his hair.
Everyone stared at him.
"What, you thought I was a natural redhead?" Ron asked. "Oh, puh-leaze!"
"Why is he acting like a girl?" Seamus whispered to Dean.
"Same reason I act like a girl!" Neville chimed in.
"I doubt it," Dean replied.
"Anyone want to have a shiny new mane of red hair?" Ron asked suggestively, waving the ketchup bottle.
"No thanks, I'll stick with Pantene," Dean said. "Extra body!"
"Ooh, really?" asked Seamus. "Can I try?"
"And you say Ron acts like a girl?" Harry snorted.
After they had all finished washing, they went back to Amber.
"Well, you took longer than I'd have liked, so unfortunately you missed lunch."
"No prob," Ron shrugged, squeezing some ketchup into his mouth.
"Well, our next activity will be free time, so maybe the rest of you could pick up some scraps from the kitchen," Amber suggested. "I hope you all find something to do."
Dean and Seamus ran off, Neville tagging along behind them.
"I can't believe we missed lunch," Harry said.
Before Ron could reply, Drake ran up to them, panting. "Hurry, there's been a horrible accident! Hermione's been hurt!"
A/N: That's my attempt at a cliffhanger, sorry. Wow, I don't even know what happened to her! I'll have to think about what it could be. Excuse the ketchup shampoo, I think I went a little overboard there with Ron's ketchup obsession. Oh well, whatchya gonna do. So anyways, I hope you liked this chapter! Stay tuned!
