Chapter Four: The Training Begins
The two teams put on their astronaut uniforms and prepared to be lowered into a giant pool of water. "Remind me again why they're doing this?" Harry asked.
William sighed and General Abbott scoffed. "You are going to this underwater simulation to demonstrate the gravity on the asteroid." William said.
They were submersed into the water and set up properly for the simulation. "So we're going swimming on this asteroid? Is that what we're doing?" Draco said sarcastically.
Harry stood beside William and coached his team through the process. "Ron, back out. You're RP's at 11,000."
"I know what I'm doing Harry!" Ron yelled into his microphone. "Drive it in further."
"Damn it, Ron, pull out now! You're gonna break the transmission!"
Ignoring Harry, Ron told his team to drive the drill in further.
"Ron! Pull out now!"
"Damn it, I know what I'm doing!"
A red buzzer sounded in the control room. "If you want to replace a member of the crew, now's the time to do it," said William.
Harry sighed exasperatedly. "Get him out of there. I'll deal with this."
As Ron took of his helmet, Harry strode up to him. "Do you want to quit? Is that it? Huh? You wanna go home?"
Ron rolled his eyes. "My team was doing the right thing!"
"The right thing? Your team just blew the transmission, Ron!"
As the two argued, General Abbott looked on in disgust. "So William," he said. "This is who you found to save the planet."
William shook his head. Was there really any hope for the planet?
Harry walked into the control room to find Draco sitting and staring off into space. "Where's Ron? I need to talk to him."
Draco looked at him. "He's over in the hanger with Hermione."
"Okay, thanks," Harry said, walking out of the room.
Ron and Hermione sat there, gazing into each other's eyes for the longest time. Finally, Ron moved in to kiss her softly on the mouth, then on her cheek.
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing…
"Hermione, will you marry me?" Ron asked softly, slipping a tear-cut diamond ring onto her finger.
Hermione gazed at Ron, tears coming to her eyes. She smiled and kissed him.
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing…
Harry watched them in the darkness and smiled to himself. Maybe this could wait until later. He decided not to disturb them.
And I don't wanna miss a thing…
