The Search: Part Two
A/N: Well, well, well, look what I'm doing again? After nearly two years I'm finally updating this story again. Actually I'm currently working on chapters for all of my current fics except the finished ones (Rebellion force, Mystical Ed, Wizard of the phoenixes, and Dragon's Rage).
You know, when I look back on the stuff I wrote in this story, I laugh. Man my spelling was bad as well as my grammar and formatting (though some of the formatting wasn't completely my fault). Well, my spelling is better now, my grammar is better now and so is my formatting. So here goes fourteen, and maybe I'll continuously update this one, maybe I won't, we'll see.
By the way, in this chapter and future chapters the characters should seem a bit more like themselves (as in from the book) and not like they're on crack or something. Enjoy!
The sensation was new to Ron and Hermione, but not Harry. Though it didn't even last a second, it felt like going through the water at nearly one hundred miles per hour and suddenly landing in a pile of snow, which in reality, they did.
"That was wicked!" Exclaimed Ron as he pulled himself out of the snow. "Can't wait for the trip back."
"That was kind of fun" Hermione said as she stood up and brushed the snow off her robes. "Hey, where's Harry?"
"Right here" Harry said as he came out from behind a large rock. "Sorry, sometimes that stuff will put you out a few feet from where you want to land."
"Oh, ok" Hermione said. She looked around a shivered a bit, pulling her cloak closer around herself. "It's cold."
"I can't imagine why" Ron said as he put his arm around her shoulders only to be greeted by a jab in the ribs. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Your mouth" Hermione said as she snuggled up against Ron. They had a weird relationship.
"Of course, what else could it be?" Ron grumbled as Hermione giggled and put her arm around his waist.
"Alright, you two are going to make me sick" Harry said as he looked around the area.
"Hey mate, the cold makes you do weird things" Ron said in an innocent voice.
Harry chose to ignore that as he scanned the landscape. It was defiantly tundra. Ice, rocks, ice, snow, and ice.
"This could take a while…" Harry mumbled as he looked back at his friends. "Are you two cold?" He asked.
"No Harry, we're perfectly warm in Antarctica. All this snow provides a special heat source, and the snow reflects light onto us for backup warmth." Said Ron sarcastically.
"Ok, good" said Harry.
"Yes we're cold!" cried Hermione.
"Thought so" Harry grinned. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the couple. "Felito!"
Instantly warmth flooded through Ron and Hermione's bodies regardless of their surroundings.
"Whoah, that's better" said Ron. He stuck is hand in the snow and rolled it around in his palm, feeling nothing but the texture of the snow. "Much better…"
"Yeah, it's a little something I picked up not too long ago" said Harry as he wordlessly cast the spell on himself. Harry glanced at Hermione who was sweating. "What's wrong Hermione?"
"It's getting warmer" she panted. "The heat keeps increasing."
"Harry, what's going on?" asked Ron. "What'd you do?"
"Hmm, seems that I didn't put enough of a stop on it" said Harry. He pointed his wand at Hermione and said: "Bacas!"
After a moment Hermione stopped sweating and started looking a little more comfortable.
"That's better. What happened?" Hermione asked.
"Well sometimes if you don't cast the spell correctly, the temperature of the person will rise and rise until they finally catch fire." Harry explained. "When I mentally put the stopper on you two it only worked on Ron so your temperature kept rising. Sorry about that."
"It's alright, just try to be more careful." Hermione said in her McGonagall-like voice.
"Ok."
"So, what are we going to do about Cho?" asked Ron.
"Well I can't feel her but I feel something over that way" Harry pointed to his left. "I think it's a cover-up spell of some sort, but it's not a very good one."
"Ok, so off we go then." Said Ron as he begin purposefully walking in the direction Harry had pointed at.
"Ron, stop walking." Hermione said in a warning tone.
Ron turned around and gave Hermione a confused look.
"Why?"
"Because you're standing on a lake and if you had been paying attention you would have noticed the cracks you were making." Harry answered.
Ron looked down and gulped when he saw the cracks.
"Ok, so what do we do?" he asked.
"Simple" answered Harry as he pointed his wand at Ron. "Wingardium Leviosa!"
Instantly Ron floated up off the ice and back to where Harry and Hermione were standing.
"Th-th-thanks" Ron said shakily as he landed next to Harry and Hermione.
"No problem" Harry said cheerfully.
"Yes good, now how do we get to the other side?" asked Hermione.
Harry smiled and answered: "Simple, we hitch a ride."
A/N: Haha, cliff hanger on my first day back. So, better? Worse? Same? R/R, I gotta know.
