Chapter 17: ?????
Two hours later, Plane 72A, with Draco and Daisy on it, started descending. Draco woke up, and went into a panic.
"Da-Da-Daisy!! I don't like it! It hurts my ears!" said Malfoy, terrified.
"Oh, suck it up, Draco. You sound like a two year old."
Malfoy realized this, and immediately shut up
"Welcome to America, Draco."
After landing, Draco and Daisy went to get their luggage. "Whoa, what are those things?" Draco asked, trying to pop his ears. Eventually he gave up, and went into the bathroom, so he wouldn't be seen, and performed a spell to make his ears pop.
"They're luggage racks, Draco. See, your trunk will come along on the conveyer belt, and it moves in a circle so whosever suitcase it is can take it."
"Oh, ok."
Daisy got her luggage right away, but they waited forever for Draco's. Eventually, they headed to a customer service desk. On the way there, Draco saw a menacing muggle with…his trunk!
"Hey!! Hey, you! You stole my trunk, you muggle!" shouted Draco.
"Not so loud," Daisy hissed, as her eyes wandered over to where the muggle was, and widened in horror. Standing there was a tall woman, about 6'2", dressed in all black and dark sunglasses, a lot of dirt. She was very pale.
Draco didn't hear her, as he was charging up to the woman, pulling out his wand on the way. "Hey! You can't have that! I've got loads of galleons in there! And…my hair bleaching kit!" Draco added the last bit blushing a little.
"Good. Calm down, sunny," she yelled, for the whole airport to hear, "Don't try to use your wand on me; I'm a witch, and a very strong one, at that!" As Draco neared her, the woman put a freezing charm on their audience of muggles, so they stood still…time was stopped. The mysterious lady whispered, "I'm here to pick you up to go to your destination. Ahh, I see it's you now, Mr. Malfoy. You look like your father did when he was your age." The woman paused as she studied him. "Yes, I can see the dark magic in you already. Good. The Dark Lord will be pleased. By the way, you have very good acting skills."
"Thank you, Carrie," drawled Draco, like he had not a care in the world.
"Yes. Now, who is that girl you are with? Is she the sister of the Potter boy?" asked Carrie Ennui-Apuro, glancing at Daisy, who could be seen putting powerful memory charms on all the muggles staring, frozen, at the three of them.
"Yes, ma'am," said Draco, but with an edge of fear in his voice.
"All right. You know what you have to do, don't you, Draco?"
"Yes, ma'am," Draco repeated.
"Good. I'll pick you up when the holidays are over. Happy Christmas."
With that, she disapparated, and the muggles started moving again as though nothing happened.

As soon as Ginny and Harry reached Gryffindor tower, Ginny went off to send a letter to Hermione.
Dear Hermione,
How're things at the burrow? Is Ron treating you okay? Because, you know, I can always do the Bat-Bogey Hex on him…anyway; I just wanted to tell you about some good news that just happened to me. Harry said he liked me! I pinched myself to see if I'm dreaming, but I'm not! (Now, I have this big bruise on my arm) We kissed, and Fred and George saw us on the hidden cameras they put in Hogwarts. Remember I told you about them? The hidden cameras, I mean? Well, they started making fun of us, and Harry stood up for me! Oh, I'm so happy, and I just had to get away from him to think, so I decided to send Pig to you. Don't tell mum about us, okay?
Write Back Soon and I hope your having a good holiday. Happy Christmas!
Love, Ginny
Ginny thought of sending her letter with Pig, but then thought better of it. She decided to recopy her letter in this miniature PDA thing that muggles carried around, and then sent it to Hermione's PDA. (Hermione gave Ginny one for Christmas, after she performed a spell so it will work around magic, and added a special pocket in which you can send letters and notes by closing the pocket—it transports it.)
* * *
Instantly, Hermione heard a faint beeping coming from inside her jeans pocket. She took out her PDA, and Mr. Weasley came over, very excited, and said he'd have to remember what it is, and when Hermione was finished with it, could he please see it. Hermione couldn't refuse, so she opened it quickly. Inside the pocket was Ginny's note. Hermione swiftly took it out and opened it.
As Hermione silently read, Ron watched her face. It was mixed with happiness, surprise, and her eyes were sparkling. She looked utterly beautiful.
When Hermione finished the letter, she gave Ron a look as to say, follow me, and took his hand, and led him up the stairs.
"We'll be right back, mum," yelled Ron, as he scrambled up the stairs.
Mrs. Weasley looked at him knowingly, and Ron blushed.
Once they were in Ron's room, Hermione said, "Ron! You'll never guess what I just got from Ginny!"
"A letter?" conjectured Ron.
"Yes," said Hermione, exasperated. "Guess what it SAYS!"
"Ohhhh…errrrr…Ginny got expelled?" asked Ron, somewhat hopefully.
"NO! God, Ron, do you have any sensitivity what so ever?"
"No."
Hermione sighed. "That's one thing I've always liked about you, however dim-witted that sounds."
"I don't think it sounds dim-witted," Ron flirted, as he pulled her into a loving kiss. They kissed for a while, and then realized they left the door opened, and Bill was leaning against the doorframe, watching them.
"So, little bro…"
"Get OUT Bill!" exclaimed Ron as he slammed the door in Bill's face. "I hate having so many brothers," Ron pouted, as he leaned down to Hermione.
Hermione spoke, with her lips brushing Ron's, "Ginny and Harry are going out…"
Hermione was not prepared for what Ron would say, and didn't expect her ears to go numb from his loud screaming, "WHAT!!!!!!"
