Chapter 2 – The Trip There

"Fred! George! Harry! Ron! Get up!" Mrs. Weasley yelled upstairs. Few minutes later everyone was up and about, just not awake.

"Watimits" Fred said trying to stifle a yawn but failed horribly.

"Harry dear can you comb your hair, please?"

"I alrea-"

"Oh right. I forgot that it never stays. Never mind that. Ron, go brush your teeth! Hermione can you go and get Ginny?"

"Sure Mrs. Weasley." Hermione flashed Ron a sympathetic look as she hurried upstairs. Seconds later Mr. Weasley appeared from the second floor.

"Is everybody ready to go?"

A series of nods and yeses came.

"Alright then, off we go!" They all headed towards the front door when a high voice yelled out.

"Fred, George what's in your pocket!" she eyed them steadily from head to toe.

"Nothing! Serious!" George said holding up his hands.

"Don'tlie to me! Accio!" she said pointing her wand to Fred and George's pockets. Out came all kinds of candies and small tin cans flew out of their pockets and into Mrs. Weasley's outstretched hands. "I told you to throw them all away!" she yelled at the twins. It turned out that they were going to test them on animals (they read in muggle books) in the forest. Eleven people piled into a huge silver mini that looked like it could only hold 6 people, but on the inside it was like a house on wheels. There was a small kitchen, dining room, living room and two pretty big bathrooms. Instead of beds for everyone there are pull-out couches. There were 6 big couches total. The twins had one to themselves (not like anyone else wanted to share with either of them). Charlie and Bill had one, Percy had all to himself (Ron wasn't too happy about that), Harry and Ron had one (of course), Hermione and Ginny had one, and Mrs. and Mr. Weasley had one.

"Hermione, Ron can I talk to you two for a second?"

"Lets go to our room." Ron said

"More like bed." Hermione stated

"It has walls. Anything with walls surrounding it is considered a room."

"Yeah but it on-"

"Would you guys stop it for 10 seconds?"

Hermione sighed. "Fine. What did you want us for anyway?"

"Yeah, I was in a middle of a witching wards game."

Harry ignored Ron comment and started to tell them what he heard between Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.

"Wow! I wonder what they're talking about?" Hermione asked after Harry finished

"So you said you heard something about danger or someone coming, right?" Ron said thinking hard.

"Yeah."

"Do you think it's Voldemort?" Hermione asked suddenly worried.

"Of course not!" Ron said right away " It Voldemort wanted to attack Harry he would of already done it already."

"He's right. He would of done it already if he really wanted to kill me."

"Let's not worry about it now." Ro said exiting the room.

"Ron! Harry is in troubled."

"I am not troub-" Harry intercepted, but got cut off again by Ron

"Soooo…….."

"So as a best friend you should give him at least some ideas."

"I can never give decent advice so I have nothing to say."

"He's got a point there" Harry said.

"Fine, Harry I think you should write Sirius, he'll want to hear about this."

Harry nodded and followed his best friends out. Later that day, he laid on his 'bed' and finished a letter for Hedwig to take to Sirius. He watched the snowy owl fly out of sight and headed to the small dining room. A couple days later they arrived at the campsite.

"Well, here we are. All this fresh wilderness air." Mr. Wealsey said inhaling deeply.

"Yeah, great" Ron mumbled

"Come on Ron, don't be such a drag." Ginny said twirling in circles.

Hermione snickered and followed Ginny.

"Girls." He said with a somewhat disgusted look on his face, "'Don't be such a drag'" he mimicked Ginny. Harry smiled and sat down next to Hermione. "Not you too."

Ginny collapsed on top of Harry who made a very interesting sound. Ron rolled his eyes. Fred and George disappeared into the dark woods. Bill and Charlie were unloading the stuff from the minivan and Percy was helping Mrs. Weasley carry baskets and such.

"Hermione, would you come over here?" Mr. Weasley whispered. Hermione headed towards the small counter.

"Ok, um..how much is the total?"

"Fifty-three, seventy-nine."

"Um..Mr. Weasley it's the one with the five and zero."

"Right…yes"

Mr. Weasley handed the money to Hermione who handed it to the person at the counter.

"Thank-you." Hermione replied when the person handed her money back.

"Well if it isn't the know-it-all mudblood?" a familiar snicker taunted.

Hermione whirled around and came face to face with Draco Malfoy. Not only has this boy grew taller and strong, this young man striking features had grown more mature making him more good-looking than ever. Harry, Ginny, and Ron had stood up in the back, they had obviously noticed the Malfoys arrive. Hermione stared coldly with hate into Draco's gray eyes as they walked past to the counter.

"Come on, let's go!" Mr. Weasley's cheerful voice snapped her back to reality. She hurried over to Harry and Ron as they started towards the actual campsite.

"It's gorgeous here!" Ginny exclaimed

"Oh, look at the lake!" Hermione said edging closer.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and sighed.

"Girls" they sighed together. They started towards one of the seven tents when they heard footsteps behind them. They whirled around and met up with, once again Draco Malfoy. Behind him was a older version of Draco, Lucius Malfoy with the same sneer, and beside him, was a tell pretty blond, obviously, Narcissa Malfoy.

"Harry! Ron! Com-" Mr. Weasley said poking his head out of one of the tents, but he stopped short when he noticed the Malfoys. He straightened up and stepped out of the tent. Seconds later Molly Weasley appeared from the tent.

"Authur, Molly" Lucius said coolly.

"Lucius, Narcissa." Mr. Weasley replied. Mrs. Weasley stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Malfoy's hand shaking furiously.

"Pleasure to meet you." Mrs. Weasley greeted warmly, but Mrs. Malfoy merely nodded. Without any friendly gestures whatsoever the Malfoy walked towards the end of the lake. Hermione and Ginny walked up and took a look at all the gloomy and angry faces and knew what the situation was.

"Mr. Weasley how many more families are coming?" Hermione said breaking the tension. Mr. Weasley immediately cheered up.

"There is one more family coming, but I don't know who they are. You think the Minstry would tell us things like this. You kids go explore around, this will be your home away from home for 3 days. Go on." With that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley headed into the main tent.

"Lets head down to the lake!" Ginny suggested.

"Again" Ron sighed.

"Come on Ron! We're on vacation!" Hermione said pulling Ron's arm.

"I know that." He mumbled.

"Then cheer up." She said.

"Harry, lets go!" Ginny yelled, dragging him towards the lake. After a lot of persuasion Ron finally gave in. An hour later at 8:00am they heard the third family arrive. Barefoot and wet the hurried over to greet the third, hoping it wasn't a pompous Slytherin. When Harry saw who got out of the car his face broke out in a huge grin.

Cedric Diggory stepped out of the small car and started towards the group.

"Amos! What a pleasant surprise!" Mr. Weasley said in a very surprised tone, but hurried over to help unload.

"Authur! Nice to see you again old chap!" Amos Diggory greeted as he unloaded the luggage. They headed inside the Weasley's main tent. Harry and Cedric faced Voldemort during Harry's fourth year, during the last task of the TriWizard Tournament. They both managed to survived and are good friends now.

"Cedric, nice to see you again mate." Harry said smiling.

"Great to see you too, mate."

"What've you been up to?" Ron asked.

"Nothing much really, got my Hogwarts papers though, made head boy." Cedric said casually.

"Serious?" Harry replied. Cedric nodded modestly.

"Well, congrats mate." Ron said in a approving tone.

"Yea- OW!" Harry started again but a sharp pain in his side cut him off. He turned and saw his girlfriend's annoyed face. "Oh right! Cedric! This is Ginny-" he put his arm protectively around her waist, "-Ron's sister and that's-" he gestured towards Hermione "-Hermione, one of my best mates."

Ginny held out her small hand. "Nice to meet you Cedric."

Cedric shook her small hand. "Nice to meet you to Ginny." He said smiling.

"Nice to finally meet a third champion." Hermione said, putting her hand out.

"A pleasure to meet such a beautiful young lady." Cedric said taking her hand and kissing it lightly. Ginny's hazel eyes twinkled knowingly.
