"Okay, Hermione. On a count of three, we run. One, two, three!" Ron said.
Hermione and Ron then suddenly ran as fast as they could. As if they were running a race to win a million galleons.
They ran through bushes, trees, and creatures. The one thing they didn't want right now was to get caught or even killed by the big ferocious wolf.
The wolf was catching up to them, growling and drooling anxiously waiting for it's prey to slow down and get tired.
Ron looked beside him. He saw Hermione's eyes as wide as a cat's. She was extremely scared, and worried. Her eyes looked like the time when they were getting their Transfiguration tests back. She was running for her life. And he wanted to make sure nothing happened to her.
Hermione was scared. So scared she almost tripped over a nearby tree root. "Thank goodness Ron's with me. I don't know what I'd do without him." She thought.
Ron's mind was spinning. Questions like how they were going to get out of the forest, or how they were going to come out alive were questions unanswered.
"Mione, DUCK!" Ron said.
She lowered her head very fast before the enormous tree branch knocked her out for good.
Ron and Hermione were lucky, they actually blocked the branch.
But the wolf, not so much.
"Hermione, what just happened?"
"I don't know, we were running, and then, the wolf just, dissapeared."
Hermione looked behind the big tree branch.
"Ron, come here..." Hermione said.
"What? What happened to it?"
When they looked under the branch, they saw the grey wolf, unconscious.
"We're saved!" Ron said, catching his breath.
"But we better get out of here, we don't want to be here when it wakes up." Hermione said with a hint of relief in her voice.
"Uh oh..." Ron said.
"What? Oh don't tell me you see another one!" Hermione said.
"No, it's not that, how are we going to get back?"
00000000000000000000
"Great, we're stuck here for life!" Hermione said.
They walked for what seemed like hours and hours.
"Don't worry, Hagrid's probably sending a search party for us!" Ron said, hopefully.
00000000000000000000
Meanwhile, at Hagrid's Hut
"I can't believe I had to find salamanders with Malfoy!" Harry said.
Him and Hagrid were talking at his hut. Harry was waiting for them to come out of the forest as a couple.
"Malfoy got so hopeless, he started talking to me about his love life! He was all like,'Why did she leave me? Pansyyyyyy!' It was very amusing!"
Hagrid was laughing his head off, when the serious question popped into his head.
"Say, do you think they're heading back now?" Hagrid asked.
"Give it time. They're probably snogging about now!" Harry said.

"Well, it's official, we're never gonna get out!" Ron said, giving up.
"I'm tired, we have to rest!" Hermione said, "We won't get back to the castle today, we have to sleep here."
Ron's stomach grumbled. "Are there any edible plants in this forest?"
"I'll look for food, and you start the fire. I'll be back in about 5 minutes."
"Okay, Hermione, don't go too far."
"Wow, I think we'll be stuck here for a pretty long time." Hermione thought, picking edible plants. It was lucky she read the book Edible Plants and Poisonous Ones when she was little. When Hermione looked at her handful of plants, she knew it would satisfy her and Ron's hunger.
When she got back, her eyes widened. In front of her was a huge fire, with Ron putting more grass and branches into the fire.
"Ron, this is amazing! How did you do this so quickly?" Hermione asked, sitting beside him and putting down the plants.
"Well, I actually read a book for my book report it was called,'How To Survive In The Forest'."
"Ha, well, let's eat up. Our menu for the day is Bread Bush, Tomato Tree, and Garlic Goods. And I gathered some juice from a plant called Smoothie. Here, taste!"
When Ron took a sip of the drink, he thought i t was the best thing he ever tasted. It tasted like strawberries mixed with watermelon.
"Wow, this is great! You can open up a restaurant here!" Ron joked.
"Cheers, to a very weird night." Hermione said, raising her wooden cup.
"Cheers!" Ron said.
They talked and ate their food for a long time, until their stomaches didn't want any more food.
"Well, I guess we should sleep now." Hermione said.
"But the question is, where?" Ron asked.
"Uh, don't be silly, we can make our beds out of leaves and grass." Hermione said, taking leaves from trees and grass from the floor.
They got their beds made side by side, with the fire still going.
Ron noticed Hermione was only wearing a shirt, so she got cold and started getting goosebumps.
"Here.." Ron said, a little embarrassed. He took off his sweater and gave it to her.
"Ron, no. It's okay, I'm fine."
"No, you need it more than I do." Ron said," Just take it."
"Thanks.." Hermione said, taking his sweater and putting it on.
"Good night, Hermione."
"Goodnight, Ron..." Hermione said, loving the feel of his smooth sweater pressing on her skin.
"Aww, how sweet!" Hermione thought.
When they slept, Hermione was facing one way, and Ron, the other, but they didn't know that that was not going to be the position they were going to be in the next day.
They both fell asleep, with smiles on their faces.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
