Hermione was going to go one way or another. She could tell Will was cracking right in front of her very eyes. She really wasn't sure why she was drawn to him or why she wanted to go.
"I can't let you go. Hermione this isn't your place to help me you already have. And Minerva said you didn't need this too." Will said not meeting her eyes.
"Are you just going out there by yourself?" Hermione said hotly.
"No she said some order was coming to help me." Will said gently obviously trying to defuse Hermione.
"What's left of it." She scoffed then added. "What do you suppose you are going to do once you catch them? Are you going to leave without saying goodbye? Let me come."
"They haven't figured out how to send us back Hermione and you know it." Will said sharply.
"I'm coming. Like I said before we can make this easy or hard. You can keep an eye on me or I can sneak." Hermione said with out defiance.
"Fine but only because you are stubborn and I would rather keep and eye on you…we leave in a couple hours." Will said through gritted teeth and walked away.
"By the way you're the one to tell Minerva!" Will said turning around and grinning. Hermione's stomach did and odd flop. Maybe it was the fact she had to tell McGonagall she was leaving Hogwarts. She wasn't sure but apart of her thought he had to do with a grinning annoyingly handsome pirate.
She shoved those thoughts away as soon as they came up. This should be interesting…how should I tell her I'm leaving? She thought to herself. Maybe she could just disappear. That would make everyone worry though, so she just had to suck it up and get it over with.
With determination Hermione walked towards the Headmasters room. She said the password and walked up the stair. "Professor?" she asked.
"I figured you would be coming." McGonagall sighed. "You want to leave with him don't you?" She said in more of a statement then in a question.
"Well yes I mean I do. I can't just let him go by himself. I helped him first and I feel it is my responsibility to help." Hermione said writhing her hands together.
McGonagall pursed her lips and shook her head. "Send out your owls to notify your parents, Harry, and Ron. Tell them I'm sending you on a mission and its top secret. Say the same to Ms. Weasley." McGonagall said.
"Ok I will." Hermione said smiling. Hermione left and went right to work writing her excuses. She hated lying but she wanted to go with Will. This adventure sounded a tab better then the hunt last year. She knew though it would be work but she just wanted to help. If she was being honest with herself it felt like half her fault that the creatures got loose on the people.
She sent off her letters with promises to write as soon as she got back. She then decided to pack. She still had her enchanted bag but it was cleaned out. She packed clothes, books, blankets, toiletries, and she snuck in some food. She was ready to go by the time she saw Ginny.
"I'm going on a mission I can't say much and I don't know when I'll be back please take care of Crookshanks." She said hugging her friend. "um, ok… Take care Hermione." Ginny said looking slightly confused.
Hermione looked around and saw will motioning her to come on. "I really got to go hopefully I will be back soon." She said. "Bye?" Ginny said watching her go. Something was totally off. Ginny thought.
"I can't believe you are coming. This is a bad idea." Will muttered.
"Oh be quite you are glad I'm coming." Hermione said smirking.
"I wish you would have stayed. You would be so much safer." Will said under his breath.
Hermione heard him and blushed. A change of subject would do because there was nothing he could do now.
"Where are we meeting them?" Hermione asked.
"We are supposed to meet at some place called Hogsmeade." Will said.
"See you would get lost with out me." Hermione said cheekily.
He muttered something that sounded to Hermione liked bloody women…always coming along…getting in danger…this is how it always starts.
Hermione couldn't help but laugh.
Little did they know how much danger they were already in. The creatures from the ship, had made some nasty friend.
Author's notes…..Who are the nasty friends and how much danger are they really in? EWW the suspense is killing me
