Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter stuff
Chapter 28 – Ready For Action
"I think we will have some obstructions, Harry." Hannah Abbott said. They were in the Room of Requirement, preparing to set up 'Plan A'.
"I'll take full responsibility if we are in deep trouble.We will not tell this to anyone else, not theteachers andDumbledore or others. Just the seven-years. I'll send a letter to Hermione later, but I don't think Hedwig can survive if she is traveling long distances…" The raven-haired boy said.
"Well, you can use my owl! It can travel as far as Antarctica in just a few days!" Justin said. The other seventy-eight students agreed and began whispering excitedly.
"Then, that's great!" Harry beamed.
"We're just like on a mission, Harry, like our fifth year!" Neville exclaimed. Luna nodded dreamily. This comment made Harry saddened a bit; he still had not forgotten how Lestrange killed Sirius. Neville shut his mouth up immediately.
"It's all right, I've got over it. Now after I've sent the letter to Hermione, you've to…" He continued, working out his 'Plan A' and B.
Meanwhile…
Hermione and Draco were horrified. "We are still not sure whether Ryan is a wiarad or he is reallymy cousin who attends school here!" Hermione whispered. They were back in their hotel room.
"Okay, let's follow him and we'll just hang out with him if he or we want to, all right. They won't catch us so fast, they have confirm too." Draco said. She nodded.
-Flash back-
"They saw Ryan reaching out for something in his pocket after looking around. "Hey dude! Long time no see!" A tall, raven-haired, average-looking teenager came out from nowhere. Ryan smiled and said, "I saw her. I saw her with that guy."
"Really? Are you sure it's them? We can't confirm yet. If they are the wrong ones, we will be in deep trouble!" He said. Ryan nodded, "I'm sure. The girl is so beautiful that I can't keep my eyes off her! But too bad, she's short, or else she can go make big bucks in the modelling industry..." Ryan seemed as though he was thinking about Hermione. Hermione furrowed her eyebrows while Draco snickered softly and playfully. Hermione heard that and kicked him in the you-know-what area.
He yelped softly in pain, clutching that area. The other boy broke the silence and seemed as though he had heard Draco's yelp. "C'mon, let's go, before the others come." They left.
"What did you do that for?!" Draco asked angrily.
"For laughing at me, being short." She replied.
"But I felt that you've grown taller, babe." He held on to her waist.
"Nah, I'm still short after that bloody mirror of yours, I know I've grown taller, but still not the model standard." She said sadly.
"I wonder how did I fell in love with a short Hermione?" Draco asked himself thoughtfully.
"Arh, stop all this mushy stuff, we've got work to do." Hemionelet go of his arms and left with him.
-End of Flashback-
"Let's go down and find him. We'll go to their skateboarding area and we will ask him to tour us around." Hermione said and she changed into a pair of dark blue jeans and yellow halter top. They went down to find Ryan.
The next day...
Hermione woke up because of the unknown andconstant tapping on the bloody window. "Gosh! An owl?!" Hermione exclaimed. Draco woke up immediately, "an owl?!" He echoed. Hermione scrambled down their bed and opened the window. A large tawny, light brown owl came in and on his legs was the day's before article of Malfoy and her and a letter attached to it.
Hermione smiled at it and untied the things on it's leg. The owlrested on the nearest table, waiting for Hermione's reply.
"It's Harry!" Hermione beamed. "And wait- Draco! We are on the Daily Prophet!" Draco looked surprised and sat up. Hermione readthe articleout loud and they saw the pictures taken by Colin.
"Outrageous! My father actually sent spies to get us! Now they'll know where we are, in America!" Draco growled.
Hermione ignored his madness and read her letter from her best friend:
Hermione,
After you've read the article about you and Malfoy, I guess you are furious about what Lucius did. Therefore, me, Ron and the other seventy-eight students are going to help you. We will risk our lives to help you, okay? You owe us one. I'll tell you our Plan A and B that will prevent the Ministry from finding you... ... If you think the plans all right or has some flaws, sent me a letter as fast as possible. I hope you're fine in that place, wherever you are you will be more cautious about your surroundings. We suspect that some of the spies have already identified you. Be more careful and stay with Malfoy at all times. I'll bash him up if he does not do a good job of protecting you and remember, always keep your wand in your pocket.
Love from Harry XX
Hermione shed a few tears. "They are really great friends, really..." Draco patted her back and hugged her.
Later...
Hermione looked through Harry's plans and found out their plans were well organised and well coordinated, except for some small flaws. Hermione wrote her letter while Malfoy showered.After finish writing, she tied her letter onto the owl's leg and it took off. She thought about how Ryan tried to avoid their questions when he took them around the place."Ryan, you are a wizard after all..."
A/N: Not a very big cliffhanger, but you have already found a hint. About three or four more chapters and the story ends. I'm quite sad but this story can't go on forever or else it will be so boring. The quickedit sometimes put two or more words together that it annoyed me!!! I'm so furious! Haha. Happy Christmas! And oh yah, I will not be updating for weeks, I think, because I am going for a holiday! But, I'll try to. infinity-92
