Hope you like the new chapter! Please review, I would love to hear your thoughts/ideas. :)
Dear Family,
We wanted to leave before you woke up so this wouldn't be too hard. Hermione scheduled us reservations on some flying machine. She's yelling at me to tell you it's called an aeroplain (or something like that), and she promises that it is very safe (even though I don't think so. Harry if I die you can have my room). Don't worry Mum, Hermione slapped me for that last comment. We promise to write as soon as we get into the hotel (we've had enough of tents for a lifetime) and we'll be home as soon as possible. Hermione wishes you all the best and hopes to see you soon.
Love you all and stay safe,
Ron
Ron placed the letter on the kitchen table so his mother would see it when she woke up.
"You ready?" Ron asked as Hermione stepped into the kitchen.
"Yeah, let's go."
With that they stepped out the front door and disapparated. They landed in the parking lot of the airport. It was not even dawn yet, so very few cars were around.
"Hermione? Are you sure we have to go on this thing? Couldn't we just disapparate or floo there?" Ron seemed very worried.
"No Ron we can't. The distance is too far, and since we're saving my parents I thought it would be better to do this the muggle way."
Ron was still having second thoughts as they made their way onto the airplane. They walked hand in hand while Hermione held her small beaded bag in her free hand. They took their seats and waited for lift-off. Ron sat their uncomfortably for a few minutes unable to tell Hermione that he was, well, afraid. I mean, he was her boyfriend and everything and he wanted to sound stronger than this. Ronald Weasley, who had been on the run for the past year looking for Horcruxes afraid of a muggle machine.
"Look Hermione, I'm not saying I'm afraid or anything; Oh bloody hell I'm terrified. Are you sure we have to do this?" His thinking really not helped him there.
"Ron are you really that scared? You're a wizard for crying out loud. If anything happens we can disapparate out of here," she whispered so only he could hear.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. That's why you're the smart one."
After Ron's little meltdown the rest of the plane ride was peaceful. At first Ron sat there looking out the window as Hermione read. Later on though they both seemed to get tired. Hermione slept on Ron's shoulder as he leaned on the window. This lasted for a few hours until she was awakened by an announcement.
"Attention passengers: We should be arriving in Sydney in about twenty minutes," the captain announced.
"Ron, wake up," Hermione whispered in his ear so she wouldn't startle him.
"I would love to wake up to this every morning," Ron said which earned him a playful slap.
"We'll be arriving in twenty minutes,"
"Hermione? Can you believe that this is actually happening? I mean we're in Australia."
"No Ron I can't. Thanks for coming with me."
"I will always be here for you," Ron said which earned him a quick peck on the lips.
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT! Thanks. :)
