Chapter 8
Taking a Plane
After being tugged by the portkey, Hermione was transported into a large room with lots of people. She looked down to see that she was standing inside of a white taped square that was on the ground. Inside the square was also a basket full of buttons with a sign that read 'Used Portkeys Go Here'. Hermione threw her portkey into the basket. And she stepped out of the square with her luggage.
"Hermione!"
Hermoine looked up to see both a black haired and red haired boy run at her and engluf her in a huge bear hug.
"Harry. Ron. When did you get here?" Hermione questioned. She looked around the room to see that there were many Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws also inside the room.
"About two minutes ago," Harry replied. "Why do you think they brought us to a muggle airport. Why couldn't we just apparate to the camp? Do we have to take a plane?"
"Hold on Harry," Hermione said, stopping Harry from bombarding her with questions. Hermione dropped her bag onto the ground and took a seat in a nearby chair. "I definately have no idea why we didn't apparate to the camp or here for that matter. I am trying to sort out this out myself. Anyways, how is your new flat?"
"I haven't quite moved in yet. I have been bunking wit Ron since the school year ended," Harry replied.
"And your quite a nuisence!" Ron added, "He eats all the food, Herm! But it has been loads of fun. Like, when I forgot to tell Ginny that Harry was staying at our house and the morning after she returned from school she woke up to take a shower."
"Yea," Harry piped in, "she was banging on the door yelling, 'Ron get out of the loo! I need to shower!' so I had already finished the shower and I walked out with a towel on to greet her."
"It was hilarious Herm, you should have been there. As soon as Harry opened the door, Gin became beet red in the face and ran back into her room. It was priceless!"
"Ron," Hemione said seriously, "that's not nice at all. You know how she still fancies Harry. Poor girl, how would you feel?"
"'Mione, you know we were only kidding," Harry said, "and i can't help if i am incredibly sexy."
"That's an over-statement," Hermione muttered and Harry playfully hit her.
"Anyways she should have know she had no chance with Harry after my parents told my siblings where I was going this summer," Ron said. "But you should have seen the time when the twins tried one of their new products on Percy! He had a beard as long as Dumbledore's for five hours!"
The trio soon became lost in Ron's tale of his and Harry's summer. Before they knew it, an hour had passed and it was time to get ready to board the plane.
"Attention," Proffessor McGonagall said clapping her hands together. "Since everyone is now here I would like to give a few short reminders for the plane trip to the states. One, we are traveling on a muggle plane. There will be no goofing off or magic. Everyone will hand their wands to either Proffessor Snape or myself before exiting the room. Two, we will also being the only people sitting in the First Class Seating. There is a list for seating partners that I would like to announce:

There will be no switching seats. You will only be able to bring something to read or an electronic device. When we arrive in the States, we will be taking a coach bus to the camp. Wands will be given out when we arrive at the camp. Luggage will be left in this room and will be taken to the plane by those muggles that work hear. And, I repeat, no goofing off!"
Proffessor McGonagall ended her speech with a stern look towards Ron and Harry who looked at each other with fake angelic faces. Proffessor Dumbledore ordered everyone to get in line with their trip belongings and their wand that they handed to either Proffessor McGonagall or Proffessor Snape on the way out.
Once they exited everyone stuck close together in order not to get lost in the busy airport. Harry, Ron and Hermione stayed at the back of the hurdle in order to talk.
"Tough luck being paired off wit Malfoy," Ron said to Hermione as the teachers lead them to the respected gate.
"But at least you have Ron and me sitting behind you," Harry said looking on the bright side.
"I don't think he will be much of a problem. There are televisions on the plane and I brought my compact player with me and two books," Hermione said.
"Students line up in a single line," McGonagall bellowed as the students lined up in order to pass through the security gates to get to the plane. One by one students entered the passage way that lead to the plane. Upon entering the plane, the students took a left and sat down in the respected seats with their partners. Hermione entered the compartment that faced the nose of the plane. She noticed that Draco Malfoy had already sat down in the seat next to the window. With no complaint Hermione walked to the right side of the plane and sat on the left of Malfoy.
Within minutes, the captain came onto the loud speaker and spoke to the passengers, telling them that it was a 7-hour flight to the States. And those few first class passengers had a choice of which movie they wanted to watch.
Hermione watched as a movie selection screem showed up on the touch-screen television in front of her. For movies Hermione and the rest of the first class passengers were given the options of Troy, Man on Fire, Mean Girls, King Arthur, The Notebook, and Anger Management. Hermione touched the button for the movie The Notebook. She watched as the movie began as the plane took off. Hermione also watched Mean Girls and Troy. Half way through the movie of Troy Hermione fell asleep on the shoulder of
Draco Malfoy.
Authors Note: I realize that these movies were not around at the time that this story takes place but I don't really care cause they are great movies!
