Chapter 3

Calida

Hermione and Draco left their trunks in the bedroom of the tent they had set up and moved to the kitchen, where they began to make breakfast. Hermione started to crack open the eggs when Draco came up from behind and grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"That better be Draco," she cooly stated with a faint smile.

"Oh, it is love," he replied softly.

"All right then," She turned and moved in to kiss him only to find Harry and Ginny standing right behind them, Ginny's mouth agape and Harry's eye twitching lightly. She blushed and slipped her hand out of Draco's grasp. When he noticed he turned around. When he saw Harry and Ginny he too blushed then spun around and cracked more eggs. Hermione followed suit.

"Uh guys, Dumbledore left another note... do... you want to see what it says?" Ginny asked to break the silence.

"YES!" Hermione blurted.

"Let's go read it," was Harry's calm reply. Hermione and Draco started to head toward Harry's trunk . "Um, can we look at someone else's note? Mine's is a bit of a mess..." Harry coughed and blushed.

"Whatever," Draco grumbled, and they headed toward Hermione's trunk and opened the lid.

Dearest Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Draco,

I forgot one person in that list you recieved in my last letter. Her name is Calida. She resides in the world you are currently in.

Fondest wishes,

Albus Dumbledore

"Ok, well, we should start looking for her," Harry stated reasonably.

Suddenly, the group noticed a girl approaching. Hermione opened her mouth to warn her about the wards, but it was too late. The girl was flung violently backwards by the powerful magic.

"Oh my gosh!" Hermione screamed, running over to the girl. "Here let me help." She helped the stranger up. "We have wards set! I'm sorry, I tried to warn you! Oh, excuse me. Herminone Granger! What's your name?"

"Calida."

Editor's Note: Wow! Is short this time! Well, that makes my job easier... speaking of which, I really need to ask for a raise tomorrow. And by a raise, I mean some kind of payment for fixing up her chapters! Oh Chanter!!
