The Real Deal
Chapter 2
"KIDS! GET UP! I want you to head to the woods! And keep going. Don't split up," Mr. Weasley woke them all up from their sleep. Loud noises were coming from outside the tent, and someone was screaming.
"What's wrong?" Harry yawned.
"Wake me up in an hour," Ron muttered, still in bed.
"Death Eaters are outside!" Mr. Weasley informed them.
"Death Eaters?" Hermione questioned while grabbing her coat. "What are we waiting for? We need to help fight," Hermione eagerly grabbed her wand.
"No. I want you to lead them into the forest. And keep walking until a signal is sent up," Mr. Weasley said.
"But..." Mr. Weasley gave her a frightening stare. "Okay, okay. Off to safety it is," Hermione rolled her eyes.
After a few minutes of walking, "I think I lost my wand," Harry announced to them.
"You lost your wand?" Hermione exclaimed. "I'll go back for it."
"But.."
"I'll be back in a few minutes," Hermione answered. She walked away from them and decided to head back toward the campsite. A hand popped out of the darkness, grabbing Hermione's arm. "Shh...it's okay," a man's voice came out of the darkness.
Hermione made to scream, but another hand snuckover her mouth. "Hermione,it's me. Cedric. Lumos." Light filled the area.
"Cedric!" Hermione smiled. "I'm so happy! Well... not about the attack... but..."
"I get the point. Hermione, do you want to go on a date sometime? Say... the week after we get to Hogwarts? There's a Hogsmeade trip planned that weekend."
"Cedric! I'd love to!" Hermione exclaimed and hugged him.
"Okay. That's good. I'll see you then," Cedric whispered andwent back to his friends.
"Bye," Hermione whispered into thehot night air.
MEANWHILE:
"No," Ginny whispered. "It can't be. I gave Ron false hope. He's going to kill me." She watchedthetwo talk. Itlooked as though he had asked her on a date. She...hugged him. Ginny realized that she had DEFINITELY given her brother false hope... although... Hermione has hugged Harry a lot and they aren't going out...
