Luckily for them that Hermione had taken several wilderness classes when she was younger. Soon they had a nice fire blazing. The sun was beginning to set the air was growing colder. The jungle like terrain was also growing dark.
Hermione sat down close to Harry. Everyone now had their backs against the rocks. They felt that this was the safest way to sit. The fire was between them and the dark forest.
Harry's eyes dart from shadow to shadow. The island was coming alive. Animals were beginning to creep from their shelters in search of food. It was Harry's hope that none of them were meat eaters. His eyes drift shut. As does the eyes of everyone else. They were exhausted from the whole near death ordeal.
Hermione is jerked awake by a crunching sound. It was now night and the fire was burning low. Her eyes scan the tree's in front of her. She swallows seeing a large bulky shape moving around. She elbows Harry in the ribs.
"Huh. It can't be time to get up yet, Ron. We don't have potions until after lunch." He blinks and looks around. He looks over at Hermione. "What is it?"
She swallows and points. "There is something amongst the tree's. I think we should get some more wood put on the fire."
Harry nods and carefully begins to throw some extra bark on the fire. It begins to blaze up and the creature takes off running back into the trees. He moves back and sits down beside Hermione. His wrist was aching and swollen. It was a ugly purple color. "I don't think it will come back as long as we have a fire going. In the morning we will have to work out a watch schedule." He says quietly.
Hermione nods and snuggles into his side. "I don't like it here Harry." She says quietly before drifting off to sleep.
Harry smiles and wraps an arm around her. He couldn't sleep now. Not when there was danger out there. He glances at the others. Ron and Lavender were snuggled together. Fred and George were snoring lightly. Ginny and Draco were also close. Trying to get heat from each other. Harry shakes his head. Something inside his mind told him that they would be here a lot longer than just a week. And he didn't like it.
