Chapter Two: Assembling the Team
After the meeting with William Artel, Harry got down to business with assembling the team of students who would make the trip to space. "Draco Malfoy," Harry listed. "He may be my enemy, but he's brilliant at this sort of thing."
"How about Fred and George Weasly?" Hermione suggested. "They're jokers, but they'll keep everybody in high spirits."
"What about Dean Thomas? He's pretty strong," Ron brainstormed. Harry nodded at these two ideas.
"Oliver Wood," said Harry. "He's been playing Quidditch all his life basically, so he can make it."
"Hmm, how about Blaise Zabini?" Ron suggested, shrugging his shoulders.
"We still need one more person," William said.
Harry turned to Ron. "C'mon, Ron, it's to save the world. What do you say?"
Ron sighed. He glanced at Hermione, who shook her head. "I'm sorry Mione. I have to do this." He turned to Harry. "I'll do it."
Hermione put her hand over Ron's and stared at him with tears in her eyes. "You can't," she whispered. "What if you guys don't make it back alive?"
"Hermione, this is a chance I have to take," said Ron. "I have to help. Besides, how often is it that your boyfriend gets to travel into space and save the world?"
"Ron, please don't joke about this. I don't want you to get hurt or killed is what I'm saying. I don't want anyone to get hurt or killed."
"That's why I have to do this." Said Ron.
Harry nodded. "Mr. Artel, you've got yourself a team of astronauts."
William immediately got into contact with the list of people.
Hours later, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and William were greeted by six other students. "What's going on, Potter?" Draco questioned.
"Hey what's up, man?" Fred and George said in unison. Harry greeted all of them. He watched them laugh and joke around with one another. Their fun would end soon.
"So…the world's going to end? Is that what you're saying?" Draco asked Harry.
Harry nodded. "None of you have to go. We can all just sit here on Earth, waiting for this big rock to crash into us and kill everything and everybody we know. The United States government just asked us to save the world. Anyone want to say no?"
"I'm not about to say no," Draco said.
"We're in!" Fred and George said in unison.
"I'll go," Oliver said.
"I'm going," Dean said.
"Blaise, you okay?" Harry asked.
Blaise looked at Harry. "I--whatever you think."
"How about you, Ron?"
"I'm in," Ron said.
"Okay," Harry said. "We go."
Draco spoke up. "I don't mean to be the materialistic weasel of the group, but, do you think we'll get paid for this?"
