Hello again my loves. Hope you've have a great day :) Enjoy

The remaining group sat down wondering how long it would be before they would return. The charm would only last a couple of hours, after that, they would be back to walking. Each of them was curious about what they would return with, they saw the normal creatures. But it was odd that they hadn't run into anyone. Each stood after a while, sitting wasn't helping their nerves. After an hour, Blaise was the first to speak up.

"Hermione?" Humming to him, to let him know she was listening. "Are they okay to be alone together?" Blaise asked

Hermione looked at him, offering a small smile. "They're just friends. You have nothing to worry about, Gin really likes you. Hell, she even took me shopping with her for the first time in years!"

"That must be because you have spectacular taste in clothes?" Draco mocked

Huffing at the man who included himself, "No, it's because she enjoys my honesty. Giving her my thoughts on the clothes and if it looks bad on her, I let her know."

"She must love your brutal honesty so much." Draco moved to stand beside Blaise who sighed

Taking a breath in, trying to refrain from getting mad. "Why did you include yourself in this conversation? It was between Blaise and I."

"Maybe I wanted to know more about your impeccable taste!"

Growling at him, seeing his smirk grow. "I hate you."

"News flash, I hate you too! You filthy muggle-born!"

Before thinking about it, she slapped him. Placing his hand on the cheek that was stinging and turning red. Blaise moved to put himself between the two.

"Hermione, 'Moine. You need to calm down and take some deep breaths, Drake didn't mean it!"

"To hell, I didn't! You bloody fucking-."

"Shut your mouth right now! You say that again and I will leave your ass here when the other return. Both of you listen up. We're in this bloody mess, in an unknown place. On top of that no idea about the time period! We don't need you two to drive a wedge right now, we need to be able to stick together. If it comes to it, I'll tie both your asses together and leave you here!"

Scuffing at him, "Harry and Ginny wouldn't leave me behind."

"I wouldn't be sure about that. We are all tired of this shit! The constant fighting is becoming too much, have either of you thought that maybe if you talked to each other without sarcasm it might help? Or talking about what happened, to fix this?"

"Give me one reason that I should talk to him?"

"You are two of the smartest people that came from our year."

"That is for two different reasons."

"You were both brought into the war because of who you were."

"Two very different things."

Watching him close his eyes, taking a moment before responding. "Both of you have a passion for what you do, especially your jobs now. You believe in what you do, and you try to do good." Not having anything to counter that, Hermione remained silent. From what she'd read from what Harry had her check over, Draco was thorough with his job and ensured that it was done correctly. "See, there is a common ground that you can work from. You can tolerate each other at work. Treat this as if we're doing our jobs if you must. We need both of you not fighting."

"You made some good points. I won't accept them unless he does."

Watching Blaise sigh, turning to face his best friend. "Drake, accept this. When we get back, you two can go back to hating each other and none of us will interfere!"

"Fine." Blaise heard from one then the next, glad to hear that

"Now, shake hands like good boys and girls." Blaise smiled, stepping from them

Groaning at the man they did it anyway. Moving to sit on opposite sides of the small clearing. Keeping quiet was Hermione's plan to not fight with Malfoy, if she didn't speak to him or his remarks it should be easy. Right?

With the sun slowly starting to enter dusk, Hermione stood. Moving around a little bit, then slowly turning into a pace. With numerous things on her mind, it was easy for her to forget the other two people sitting there watching her. Blaise watched as she began to put a welt into the ground, while Draco leaned on a tree watching her thinking process.

"What is running through your mind now, Hermione?"

"The charm is almost out of time, if they don't get back soon it's going to be dark. Plus, the spell that you've explained is matching nothing that I've read. Going through everything I've read and learned, even within the dark arts."

"Could it be possible that they created a new spell?"

"That is possible, which is going to make this that much harder to determine how to get back to our own time."

"I'm sure you will think of something. Harry and Gin will be okay."

"What if they're not?"

"What if we're not? That sounds ominous."

"Harry!" Hermione turned smiling, moving to hug him. Hugging her back, glad for the warm welcome.

"Merlin, can you two get a room?" Draco spoke annoyed at their affection

Harry and Hermione pulled away from each other laughing at the statement. Leaving two out of the three, confused at why they were laughing.

"What is so funny?" Draco asked

"Probably the fact that you think that they are together. That is cause for a laugh." Ginny chuckled

"They're not?"

Shaking their heads, "Nope. They have been this way for as long as I can remember. It did get worse in the time of war. They are brother and sister; they have one of the closest bonds you can get without being blood. Hell, if they get going, they'll finish each other's sentences. That's why they work so well together. I was jealous of their relationship for a long time, it was just that I didn't understand it."

"Oh, okay. I was wondering why you two had never married, that answers that!"

"Well, now that that's covered. What did you two find?" Hermione spoke, changing the subject

"It looks to be a village about an hour away, so on foot closer to a couple of hours," Harry answered, glad for the change of subject

Ginny nodded, "It's a start, we can grab some food there!"

"Maybe we could stay there the night?" Draco spoke up

Harry agreed, "We can do that, one thing is that we need to be careful of who we are. It appeared that most of them were muggles, so we have to rough it out. We can't take the chance of anyone seeing anything."

"Are you kidding Potter?"

"No, I'm not. You know that is something we swore we'd do."

Hearing him groan, going to find himself a tree to lean against for the night. "We'll get going when the sun is up. We should get as much sleep as possible; it's been a long day."

(Hopefully, you've enjoyed this. I wanted to update yesterday but my migraine said otherwise meh... Please leave this lots of love, if you do let me know :) Until next time, which should be in a couple of weeks. Stay safe 3 ~DQ)
