[size=16]Road Trip![/size]

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We’re going on a Road Trip with no real destination in mind. We’re taking the old Ford Anglia and as many people as we can fit! Will we get lost? Lose the map? Not use a map? Where will we go? What will we see? Who’s coming? What’s on the radio?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
RULES:
1) No Voldermort, Death Eaters, Dementors, or any other blood-lusting killers, and no OCs and make sure you keep everyone in character.
2) If you are new to this story-game, please start on the first page and read the whole thread and the rules before posting.
3) The car can fly/drive so the setting will change often. I you do change the setting, time, or day then put it in bold.
4) You can NOT enter yourself as an OC. This thread is strictly CANON, and if you join us in the car make sure the reason you got in makes since. Like you’re hitchhiking or something.
5) At the beginning of each post put the character you’re role-playing so we don’t get mixed up in who’s who.
6) Your canon character can have a relationship, but it must make since. For instance, Harry and Draco can’t all of the sudden become best friends, and Luna and Ron can’t just start snogging because that’s the ship you like.
7) If someone has already taken the character you want, pick someone else. Also if a character is involved in a ship, don’t sink it because you don’t like it.
8) If you add to the story and someone beat you to it, edit it quickly to say that you are editing it and then continue to do so.
9) Don't post unnecessary replies, you can always discuss those things through notes.
10) At the end of EVERY post would you please enter a DISCLAIMER like so:
If you are new to this story-game, please click on the first page to read the whole thread and the rules before posting.
If you forget to add it then click edit and type it in.

Sera - Ginny

Ginny threw her bag in the trunk along with everyone else’s stuff. It was blazing hot out and the rusty Ford didn’t have air conditioning. Though she was a witch, she still couldn’t use a cooling charm, so she sweat freely through her tee-shirt.

“Erg! Where are they!” Hermione moaned looking for the rest of the Weasleys, as she and her redheaded friend stood next to the car outside the borrow.

Ginny was glad to know the heat wasn’t getting to her alone. She yanked a hairbrush from her bag.

“Chill, Hermione,” Ginny said brushing Hermione’s bushy hair into a ponytail.

“What are you doing?” she asked looking at the comb.

“If I get the hair off your neck then maybe,” Ginny tugged particularly hard on a knot in Hermione’s hair, “you won’t be so irritable.”

Hermione stifled a yelp and bit her lip, “It’s not that,” she whimpered, “it your brother.”

She laughed, “Which one? Wait it doesn’t matter, the whole lot of them drive me mad no matter who’s the ringleader.”

“Ron,” she sighed, “he won’t lay off.”

“Oh…” Ginny said finally taming Hermione’s hair into a halfway decent ponytail, still frizzy, but it suited her.

“What’s that suppose to me?” Hermione said quizzically.

“Never mind,” she said wanting Hermione to figure it out for herself. She spotted a band of redheads coming her way.

“I don’t see why Percy has to come,” whined Ron.

It was true ALL of the Weasleys were leaving the Borrow so that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley could have some… down time.

“Percy is coming because Merlin knows Charlie and I couldn’t chaperon all of you,” Bill chuckled.

“I’m not coming to enforce rules!” Percy yowled as he threw his things into the trunk.

“How shocking!,” joked Fred.

“You better not, because it’s a long fall to the ground," added George.

"and a long walk home after that,” finished Fred.

“Are we leaving yet,” growled Ginny.

“Alright!” Charlie started the motor and everyone jumped in. He twisted in his seat, “Before we leave--”

“GO!!!” everyone shouted.

Charlie ignored them, “Who are we picking up first?”

“Penelope!” Percy yelled.

Fred hit Percy, knocking off his brother’s horned-rimed glasses, “Angelina!”

“Lee Jordan!” George did the same to Percy, but not because he was in his way.

“WE’RE PICKING UP HARRY FIRST!!!” Ron bellowed

“OKAY!!!” Charlie yelled over everyone else, shifted the car into drive and took off down the road. When he picked up speed, he pressed the silver Invisibility Booster and they shoot up into the air.

~*~

Luna Lovegood - Rae

"I want to drive," Fred said after an hour of driving."I'm bored."

"You're to young," Percy stated. "If anyone gets to drive next it is either Bill or myself. You're too immature."

"Oh come on Percy! Don't be such a spoil sport!" George complained. "You are always ruining our fun, and anyway, this is vacation."

"We will probably crash if either of you two drove," Percy retorted.

"Nuh-uh," Fred started, but was soon interrupted by Hermione.

"I can't believe I am doing this, but I agree with Percy. We might not even make it to Harry's with you two driving."

"I object," George said looking scandalized."I'll have you know, that in our fourth year Fred, Ron, and myself drove to Harry's and back without any problems."

"And that was in the middle of the night," Fred added.

Before Percy or anyone else for that matter could say a word, Bill spoke up. "How about we all rest for a bit and stretch our legs. You know bieng in the car for a long time can be a little exshausting." Ginny had a feeling he was only suggesting this because he didn't want a fight to break out in his dad's newly found Ford Anglia.

Soon Charlie started to descend, making sure that the invisibility booster was still on, and landed near a small park. Everyone got out and Hermione and Ginny went off toward the swings, while Fred and George started pelting globs of sand from the sand box at Percy.

Hermione laughed to herself while she watched Ron looking oddly at the slide. Ginny just watched her knowingly, but when Hermione turned around to face her, she got rid of it as quickly as it came.

"Ginny, what were you saying before about-" Hermione began, but she did not finish her sentance because a behind her she heard a dreamy voice.

"Hello Ginny. I thought you lived in St.Catchpole not Abergavenny." Luna said more as a statement then a question.

"I was going to say the same thing to you," Ginny repied.

"Really. I am here because Daddy is interviewing Madam Marsh on the conditions for the Knight Bus. We think that they should be much safer. Why are you here?" Luna asked.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione turned in her swing and looked at the blonde Ravenclaw behind her.

"We're on a road trip." Hermione answered wondering what kind of nonsense the girl was going to bring up this time. Hermione didn't NOT like the girl, she was just... different. Almost the opposite of herself.

"We are you going?" Luna asked.

"We don't know yet, we'll figure it out on the way," Ginny said.

"Ah yes, the best kind. When it's the journey that we look forward to it makes the destination all that much more exciting." Luna said with a dreamy look on her face.

~*~

Luna - Rae

"Uh, yeah," Hermione replied to Luna not really sure of what to say.

"So anyway, why are you here?"Luna continued not hearing the uncertainness is Hermione's voice.

"We're going to pick up Harry to come with us," Ginny replied.

"Really?" Luna asked." I had no idea he lived around here."

"No, Luna he doesn't live here. He lives in Surrey. We just stopped so Fred and George wouldn't kill Percy," was the answer from Hermione. She tried to keep the exashperation in her voice to a minimum. She really was trying to understand this girl.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be working," Luna said forthrightly, pointing over Ginny's shoulder.

Behind Ginny, Fred and George had tied Percy to a tree. They had their wands out and seemed to be charming the sand, now that they were over age they could use magic outside Hogwarts. Bill and Charlie only seemed halfhertedly trying to stop them.

"Oh, my!"Hermione gasped.

"It's ok. It happend all the time. Nothing to worry about." Ginny said.

"Anyway," Luna started again," Would you mind if I came with you on your adventure? I'm sure Daddy won't mind."

~*~

Katie Bell - Lonelyjaemoon

Katie was bored. Her summer had been pretty pointless, since Oliver Wood was training in Scotland, and she hadn't heard from the twins in weeks. She was walking around the town of Ottery St. Catchpole, where her cousin Jordan lived, when she heard the very familiar sounds of a cursing male voice.

"BUGGER! He's going to get away! Grab him, Fred!" She recognized that voice. Katie ran to where the voice was coming from.

"FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEY! What ARE you doing?" The twins jumped. They were holding their wands against Percy's head while he was tied to a tree. Ginny and a girl that Katie vaguely recognized from Qudditch games were standing next to a beat up car that contained more redhaired, freckled Weasleys, and Hermione Granger.

"Are you guys going somewhere?"

"Well, the thing is..."

"Er..."

"Not quite sure..." Were the responses she got.

"So you're leaving without knowing where you're going? Can I come?" The twins looked at each other.

"Sure, can't see why not."

"Brilliant! Anything's better than spending the summer with my Squib of a cousin. So what do we do now?"

"Well, we have to go pick up Harry in Surrey." Explained Ginny.

~*~

Oliver Wood - Vicki595

With the announcement that training was cancelled due to half of the team coming down with some mystery bug, Oliver looked crestfallen. What was he going to do with himself?

Returning back home, he grabbed a piece of parchment and scribbled quickly "Hey hon, What are you up to? Training's been cancelled; thought I could come see you or you could come up here? Unless you're already doing something. Send Osiris back with an answer. I miss you. All my love, Oliver"

He attached it to the leg of his owl, who hooted softly at him. "Take this to Katie," he told her.

~*~

Katie - Lonelyjaemoon

They were almost in Surrey when Katie felt an owl land on her head. She grabbed the letter, smiling.

"Must be from Ollie!" Teased Fred.

"Shut up, you idiot. Hey you lot up there! Oliver's practice has been canceled, can he come along too?" The 'lot up there' (Bill and Charlie) looked at each other.

"Sure, might be nice to have somebody older and mature along."

"Excellent!" She scribbled a reply.

Dear Ols,

I'm in a car with 7 Weasleys, Hermione, and Luna. We're off to Surrey to get Harry. They say its alright if you come along, so could you meet us at Number Four, Privet Drive? It's in Little Whinging, in Surrey.

Can't wait to see you!

Much love,
Katie


~*~

Oliver Wood - Vicki595

Oliver had just finished drying himself from the shower and had just pulled on his jumper when Osiris fluttered in through the window, and dropped a piece of parchment in front of him.

"Thanks girl," Oliver replied, reaching for an owl treat with one hand and the letter in another. He scanned through it quickly, and grinned broadly.

Quickly he stuffed clothes in his bag, checked his reflection in the mirror and grabbed his wand.

With a small 'pop' he apparated, and found himself at the end of Privet Drive.

~*~

Jakia - Harry Potter

Harry Potter was, to say the least, bored.

The Weasleys were suppose to be here hours ago! Where were they?! He knew that Hermione was with them...there was no way she'd let them be late!

What if they were attacked? What if thousands of horrible death eaters and Voldemort himself attacked them? Would they live? Oh, woah was he! HE NEEDED TO START SPEAKING IN ALL CAPS AGAIN, SO TO FIT THE JKR PLOTLINE!!! What a poor, defenseless, grief-struck little hero! Whatever was he going to do?

Deciding it was best to go back to bed than to wait by the fireplace, Harry climbed back up to his room, only to find Oliver Wood sitting on his bed.

~*~

Dudley - Laucia

Dudley realised that he needed to go to the bathroom. That was the problem with this new diet he was on; he found that he needed the toilet all the time! He threw down the book he was in the middle of ripping up and heaved himself of the sofa in his room.

Walking down the hall when he heard a yelp from his cousin’s room. Unable to walk past without finding out what was happening, he stuck his head through the door.

Harry was standing by his bed, a dropped bag by his feet. Dudley saw a tall brown haired wizard sitting on the bed, holding a stick of wood, which he was now pointing straight at Dudley.

"Mmm... Muu.." Dudley tried to stammer before Harry leapt across the room and clamped his hand across his cousin’s thick lips and chin.

Just and that moment there was a loud 'BANG' from outside the window as a rusted blue car appeared out of no where, floating in mid air above the flower bushes.

~*~

George Weasley - Sevens Alloy

The bang then caused everyone, including Bill to jump in shock before Bill slammed on the break seconds before running into a tree in the Dursley's yard. Once everyone was over the shock Bill, who was driving, now decided to park the car since it would be a bit hard to get Harry's stuff in the trunk when the car was floating. So he parked/landed the car in the driveway of the house. they all filed out with Fred and George crawling out through an open window before anyone else could even open their door.

Once outside the car, George looked around and laughed, "It's even muggle looking on the outside, how do you supposed they get rid of gnomes, Fred?"

At this Fred looked at his brother and shrugged, "I don't know, let's ask Harry or Hermione!" At that the two went to the door of Number 4 Privet Drive and opened it with a spell and looked around. "Oooh, fear the ghost!" George said as he snuck up on his twin brother, causing him to jump.

~*~

Ginny - Sera

Harry ran down the stairs to the door and smiled at his friends in utter delite, then smurked as he opend the door for them.

"'bout time!" he barked, as Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Fred and George walked in. Harr turned to Oliver, "Put your wand down before he wet himself." Harry looked at his cousin at the top of the stairs "Dudley, be still or else!"

Dudley didn't need teeling twice.

Ron offered him his hand, "Sorry 'bout that mate."

"It's okay." Harry said not wanting to yell at his friends before being stuck in a car with all of them. "Oh, hi Ginny!"

Ginny had Harry in a leathel hug around his rib cage. "Hi!"

"GINNY, Harry needs air!" Ron plucked his sister off of his friend.

Katie practically flung herself out the car window as she glomped her olie, "Oh, I missed you!"

The twins were bright red with laughter. Fred embrassed George and mocked the huggling couple.

"Oh Fred!"

"Oh, but George!"

The Car began to wooble as people began to unload into the drive way.

Ignoring the twins, Oliver looked at Percy, "Now thats a good look for you Perc!"

Percy ran his hand throw his hair as bits of sand fell on his shirt, he walked off grummbling something about Penelope.

"We better go!" holwed Charlie, "Don't want to be late!"

"Late for what?" asked Bill, "We havent any place to go."

"Exactly!" Charlie urged, "We're going to anyplace, so we don't want to be late for anything!"

Fred turned to his brother, "I swear, you get your logic from dad."

"Ah..." Harry began, "what are we going to do about..." he pointed to Dudley.

Fred and George exchanged evil glances and looked back at Dudley.

~*~

George - Sevens

Fred and George stopped hugging since it didn't seem to be bothering the people they intended it to annoy. Just then, George rubbed his hands together, a sly grin creeping over his face. "Well, we can't very well leave him here; he'll rat on us."

All the wizards and witches in the group agreed on that. They couldn't very well have Dudley ratting them out to Petunia and Uncle Vernon. So they all thought on it.

"Let's lock him in the closet," Fred and George said in unison. At this Hermione shook her head. "We can't do that to him!" Ron and Harry muttered something about SPEW, causing Hermione to glare. "Let's think on this, I'm sure we can figure something out."

"Put him in the trunk!" Ron yelled after a few minutes of thought. He then silenced when Hermione glared at him. Then they all went to thinking. After another few long minutes, someone stood up and shouted, "I've got it!"

~*~

Luna - Rae

"I've got it," Luna said startling everyone. "He can come with us."

Harry and the Weasley's looked at her as though she was kidding. Katie and Oliver just looked confused, as they really didn't know who Dudley was. Well, neither did Luna, that is why her suggestion did not go over too well.

"You don't understand Luna," Harry began."Dudley is just a bully who hates wizards."

"You forgot fat," Ron said just low enough for Harry to hear.

~*~

Harry - Jakia

Harry giggled slightly.

"I don't know...She might be right. We could take him." Hermione, always the wise one, said. Harry and Ron goggled at her.

"Are you insane?"
"Think about it, Hermione!"
"He's my Muggle cousin! He can't come!"
"That car flys! What if he tells someone?"

But Hermione would have none of that. She shushed them all up and turned towards Dudley...
...But that's where the fun really started...

~*~

Katie - lonelyjaemoon

Katie was about to kiss Oliver when she heard a scream from behind her. She whirled around to see Dudley, some fat boy that seemed to live with Harry, KISS HERMIONE! Katie knew Hermione Granger casually, and from what she did know, the girl had NEVER had a boyfriend.

"You fat pig! GET OFF OF HER!" Harry ran over and knocked Dudley to the ground, causing the bigger boy's head to crack into the ground, knocking him out.

"Uh oh, we're in for it now..." Katie knew it was too good to last. Away from her boring family, with her friends, and with Oliver during the summer... and of course, the inevitable happened.

"Ennervate", said Oliver, pulling out his wand. Dudley regained conciousness, moaning.

"What happened? Hey Potter, who are these people?"

"He doesn't remember!" Whispered Ginny. "Let's go while we still can." They left Dudley moaning on the ground, calling for his Mum, and piled into the car. Bill started the engine, and the now-invisible car flew up into the air, far away from Privet Drive.

~*~

Harry - Jakia

Harry seemed to be steaming with anger. His entire face was red, and his hands shaking.

How dare Dudley do something like that? Kissing Hermione like that! Why, the nerve of him!

Ginny was giggling like mad, though. She seemed to think the idea of Harry's Fat Oaf of a cousin and Hermione made a 'cute couple'. Harry had half a mind to hit her for thinking such thoughts.

Hermione seemed to be in a daze, unable to comprehend anything that was going on. Harry put his arm around her comfortably, holding her protectively. (Not that anyone noticed. The car was too full)

~*~

Katie Bell - Lonelyjaemoon

Katie lay her head on Oliver's shoulder. She loved the feeling of flying, even if it was in a cramped old Muggle Ford. She looked at Harry and Hermione.

"Hey Ols? Look at them."

"They look just like we did at the beginning, Kates."

"I know." She brought her head up for a kiss.

"OOooooooooooh! They're snogging again!" Katie and Oliver moved apart, blushing.

"Quiet, Fred. Where are we going next?" asked Ginny.

"Let's get Angelina!" Yelled Fred.

"Good idea, there are too many boys." Agreed Katie.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione just sat there for a moment. She couldn't believe what just happened. One moment she was trying to save Harry's oaf of a Muggle cousin from the torment of the Weaslys and the next thing she knew he had his ... big... fat... disgusting lips pressed on hers. "EWWW" she finaly said when the shock wore off. Everyone in the car laughed. She noticed that Harry had his arm around her shoulders and that Ron was giving them a dirty look.

"I'll be ok Harry, really. So um where are we going now?"

~*~

Harry - Jakia

Harry felt his face go red. He quickly moved his arm from off Hermione.

"Er, right. I...just want to make sure you were alright. That's all. " If you could kill a person by looking at them, Harry would be on the floor in a thousand pieces from the look Ron was giving him.

Hermione didn't seem to mind. She started giggling. Which was odd. Hermione never giggled.

Harry didn't seem to be the only person who noticed. Luna Lovegood, who had been deep in conversation with Ginny about Bat Eyed Reindeer, gave Ron a rather scolding look. His face turned crisom before turning around once more.

"How far till we get to Angelina's, Fred?" Ginny asked polietly.
"Really. I noticed how *well* you knew your way around. Been there before, Fred?" Percy teased lightly. Fred's face turned crisom.

"We're already there." He said, parking the car.

~*~

Larinzia - Percy
There weren't many great days like this, Percy mused to himself as he looked out the window. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and he was hoping to be able to take over the driving at the first oppurtunity.

He figured that picking up Angelina would keep Fred off his case for awhile and George wasn't likely to act alone on any outstanding pranks. Ron and Ginny were preoccupied with Harry and Hermione - who seemed a little preoccupied with each other. He didn't care. Maybe this would be a nice reprieve from all the heckling he was receiving lately.

The group was piling out of the car after it finally settled outside the large brick house, shouting hellos at the girl standing on the doorstep. Wait just a minute more, he cautioned himself. Don't seem to eager. Wouldn't want anyone else jumping for the drivers side if they thought he wanted it.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny climbed out of the car on to Angelina's lawn reluctently, it was always cooler when they were flying. Other than the relentlous sun. It was nice out, she thought as she looked around.

Percy was creeping up to the drivers door trying to look inconspicous, it wasn't working. Fred was hugging Angelina and talking, they both looked happy and it seemed she could go too. Hermione, who was standing next to Harry, now had Ron inbetween them. Ron was the jelious type, that was obvious, but at least he wasn't being too obvious.

Charlie and Bill were talking to eachother as George threw Angelina's bag into the car. Percy had won his victory with the car door and gave the door handle a look bordering on lust.

Ginny brushed away beads of sweat from her brow, it was noon and the sun was at it's high point. She wanted a shower and looking at Hermione's still shocked expression she needed a bath too.

George, crestfallen, muttered something about lunch, and climbed into the way-back seat. Charlie and Bill followed and sat next to their brother, and Luna next to him with Hermione. Fred sat in the seat in front of them, with Angelina, Katie, Oliver, Harry, and Ron. The Car looked small but it expanded to fit everyone. Ginny took the front seat with Percy at the wheel, no one asked where they were going next. Percy clicked the silver button and the car disapperd in the clouds and sky, they set off for Penelope's house.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

"So um, Ginny where are we going now?" Hermione asked as she was sitting by the door next to Luna, who kept trying to see past her out the window.

"I'm not sure. Percy where are we going now?" Ginny asked her brother.

"To pick up Penelope," he said. He really seemed to be consintrating on this driving. This frightened Hermione a bit. How many times had he driven. A car is a muggle invention. She sat back in her seat and found the safty belt and clicked it.

~*~

Harry - Jakia

*SCHREECH!!!!!!!!!!*
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
*"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"*

"Maybe I ought to drive..."
"No! I can drive! You just shut your hole, Fredrick Weasley..."
*SCREECH!!!!!*
"PERCY LOOK OUT FOR THAT AIRPLANE!!!!!!!!!"
"Raretain? What's an raretain?"
"Airplane!" Angelina called out, scared half to death. Hermione had burried herself into the seat.

Harry, meanwhile, was gripping his seat belt as though it was his last chance for survival. Katie had burried herself in Oliver's chest, very near tears herself. It seemed as though only Katie, Fred, Harry, and Hermione had any idea of what sort of horrible driver Percy really was.

"PERCY, LOOK OUT!!!"

But that was the last Harry remember, before blacking out.

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

"YOU LOST HARRY AND RON!" Ginny beat Percy on the shoulder as he tried to get away from her tiny little fists. She may have been a girl but she was fiesty.

He struggled to get the car level after the brush with the large whirring thing. This driving was a lot harder then it looked. Maybe he should have left it up to Geroge. He just wanted to impress Penelope by driving up to her house looking really cool. Of course, it was hard to look cool in a car filled with so many people. Even though the car expanded to fit everyone, it still wasn't as comfortable as if it had started out as a purely magical creation.

"Don't worry about the boys. I have them," Hermione called from her position in the backseat. "I don't know if I can get them back up to this elevation, though. We better get down to the ground. I think Harry hit his head and Ron looks a little green after the close call with those trees."

"It shouldn't be that hard to bring them up," Percy stated, aware that he sounded a little high-strung and arrogant. Clearing his throat, he tried again. "Why don't you help, Angelina."

He turned around slightly and saw that Angelina was curled into Oliver's lap, holding onto his shirt with a deathlike grip.

"I swear, if you kill us," Ginny yelled in his ear, "I will so make sure that everyone at school knows that you still wear that pink shirt that Mum bought you when you were five."

Wanting to make sure that no one ever found out that particular information, Percy started in a circular pattern that would take them to the clearing he could make out just below them.

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"Ennervate"
"Wha--"
"Good. You're awake. Worried us for a second." Bill said, helping Harry to his feet.
"What happened?" Harry asked, standing up. He looked around quietly. "Better yet...Where are we?"
"We're...somewhere." Bill said.
"Somewhere? You mean you don't know?" Harry asked, slightly worried.
"Yeah...Percy nearly crash landed. We thought we'd lost you and Ron."
"Ron? What happened to Ron?" Harry asked worriedly.
"Oh, nothing much. Not as bad as you, anyway. Come on, we got to find the others."
"YOU MEAN WE GOT SEPERATED?!"
"Well, sort of. Percy's not the greatest driver, you know. No worries. You and me can find them." Bill said confidently, holding his wand out in front of him.

Harry shook his head before following BIll into the middle of nowhere.

~*~

Katie Bell - Lonelyjaemoon

"So... where should we go from here?" asked Ginny. They were walking around the middle of nowhere, trying to find Harry and Bill. Katie and Oliver were holding hands as they pointed their lit wands around, searching.

"Harry! HARRY! Can you hear us?" Fred and George yelled. The group continued walking for some time. As they wandered deeper into nowhere, Angelina looked around at the people she was walking with.

"Wait a minute... weren't Ginny and Luna with us a minute ago?"

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny growled lowly as she rolled up her sleeves and pushed through some stiff branches, "When I get my hands on Percy..."

Luna, ahead of her, glided to the middle of a clearing and sat on a stump She looked at her friend with big eyes and said vagely, "We're lost, you know?"

"No kidding," Ginny said angerly, pulling leaves and other natural debreis out of her red locks.

"No I mean we, you and I, have been lost."

"No, we're just... "Ginny looked around frantically as if it were a joke. Realization hit her like a brick, "lost." She turned to Luna, who was keeping busy by admiring her four inch long bobble earings, an invention of her own, "How long did you know?"

"For a while."

Ginny let out frustrated whine, "Why didn't you tell me!?"

Luna shrugged, "You didn't ask."

Ginny wandered around for a soft peice of mossy under growth and ploped down, making herself comfortable. She was tired and she knew wandering around more she would just get more lost. At least she had Luna.

The blonde girl began to sing "Weasley is our King" adding new verses to it.

Maybe we should start wandering around, Ginny thought sarcastically.

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

Percy hung back from the group, aware that he could once again be blamed for, well, everything that had happened so far today. Things were definitely not looking good. He could forget about making a good impression on Penelope. Maybe it was a good thing they were lost and probably miles from civilization.

"Hey, this is starting to look like a road," George said from the front of the group.

No, he decided with a shake of his head. Things weren't going well for him today.

There were two decisions that could be made here. One, he could stay back at the front of the group, hoping that they didn't remember that he was here. Two, he could run up and be the first to discover whereve this road went. The decision was easy.

"Be careful," he shouted, running toward the group. Wait. Where did the group go? "Very funny. We probably shouldn't split up anymore then we already are and the forest can be dangerous. I think I should be the one . . . to . . . lead."

There was no one there to hear him trying to be the boss. He made a full circle. Where did everyone go?

Fred and George were at the front of the group, and were in fact trying to think of a jingle for their business. They were in fact, following the road that George found.

"Are we there yet," yelled Katie from beside Oliver. Just then Harry glared at her and sighed, "No! We're no where, stop asking!" The group continued to walk when they saw what looked to be a crumbled form lying in the lawn of someone's yard.

Just then, George jumped on a rock beside the road, struck a dramatic pose and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Hark! There is our fallen' brother!" At this, Fred, George, Harry, and Ron all started laughing uncontrallably as Hermione gave Harry a very serious glare since he seemed to not be worried about his best friend.

~*~

Jakia - Harry

Hermione shot him an evil, evil glare.

"Eep?" He said meekily, when Fred, George,and Ron began to roll with laughter.

Hermione smiled. He was really starting to enjoy her smile, too. He smiled back. Their eyes remained locked for about three seconds before something happened.

"AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
"Dear Lord, that sounded like Ginny!"

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

A loud scream came from Percy's right so he veered through the trees and underbrush in that direction. He knew that it was wrong to leave an open road but he knew that scream. That was Ginny's scream. The scream had pierced his ear drum more then once and there was no way he could not tell it was hers.

"Ginny! Ginny!"

Someone else was hollering from over on his left. Without realizing it, he breathed out a sigh of relief. That was George and Fred, if he wasn't mistaken. Maybe they could all find each other, find the car again and be on their way.

"Don't move, Gin. I'll be right there!" he screamed, vowing to do something right today if it killed, um, wounded him.

~*~

Ginny - Sera

Harry ran through the dense underbrush that tore at his shirt and made shallow cuts into his skin. He left everyone behind him, he was small, but fast. Ginny's terrified scream that had been burnt into his mind was now silent. All he could hear was the blood pounding in his ears.

"Ginny!" He ran strait in the derection he first heard her. "Ginny!" He pushed past the natural barricades and stumbled into a clearing he ran strait for the trembleing girl whom he gathered in his arms.

"I've lost Luna," she said, her voice cracking as she starred into a dark void in the brush, her legs buckeled and she went limp in his arms "and then I saw..." she lifted her shaking hand and pointed.

Harry starred at it, trying to mask how terrified he was at that moment.

~*~

Jakia - Harry

Terrified as though Harry might've been, he wasn't near as frightned as Ginny's brothers. He was just faster.

"She's alright! I've found her! Come in the clearing!" Harry shouted, with a sobbing Ginny in his arms. He patted her back mindlessly. He really wasn't any good with crying girls...

"Harry? Harry! You found GInny!" Ron said, running up by them. Hermione came running close after him, though she seemed to have a rather large scowl on her face when she saw Ginny.

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

Percy was the last one to the clearing and came to a skidding halt in front of Harry and Ginny.

"Are you okay?" he gasped, trying to get his breathing back to normal after his mad dash to the clearing.

"Yes," whispered Ginny. "I just got scared." She pointed behind her, an eerie light illuminating a strange shape.

"I didn't mean to scare you," Penelope laughed, walking forward. I found the Anglia in my front yard and decided that you all must be nearby. Here's all the books I borrowed from you, Percy."

The strange shape was indeed Penelope. A pile of books with a bag hanging from the top of it gave her a strange outline in the bright lights of the faithful car. She looked as fresh and beautiful as a daisy. It made him wish that he didn't feel so sweaty and dirty.

"I'm glad you found us, Penelope. We had a little, uh, accident." He threw a frown over his shoulder, daring any of his brothers to mention that the accident had been his fault. "Are we all here? Let's get back in the car. There are places to visist and people to find."

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny crawled in the car, thankfull Bill was in the drivers seat with Charlie and Ron next to him. Percy sat with Penelope, Luna, Harry, Oliver, and Katie. In the back with Ginny was the twins, Angelina and right next to Ginny was a very unpleasent Hermione.

"I thought you were over Harry," the brunet growled.

"Keep your voice down," Ginny roared, "AND I am! I don't like him," she looked whistfully at Harry, "anymore. Besides I thought you like Ron."

Hermione exploded, "WHAT!?"

Everyone looked at the two girls squished in the back corner and then went back to their bussiness, or so they thought.

"Well?" Ginny urged.

"NO!" Hermione shreeked, "How could you think that?"

"Oh, I've seen the way you two bicker. You two have more rows than an old couple."

Hermione squirmed in her seat, she wanted to stop the conversation, "So, we're just friends."

"Blargh! You like Harry, but you want Ron more, addmit it or I'll do it for you."

She looked around, "You wouldn't!"

An evil grin met Ginny's face, "Harry or Ron?" she held up two hands.

Hermione prayed for a diversion, she honestly didn't have a clue. Her prayers were answered when...

~*~

Jakia - Harry

Harry grinned as he listened in on Ginny and Hermione's conversation. To be completely honest, he was curious for the answer himself.

He hoped, and prayed in the back of his mind, where no one else would ever find out, that she said him. After he saw Dudley kiss her, he admited to himself shyly, he just couldn't bear the thought of seeing her with anyone else. Not Ron. Especially not Ron. Ron was not good for her. They argued too much.

"So, where are we going, Percy?" Penelope asked polietly, and everyone's attention turned to her.
"Um, not sure... Any takers?"
"LEE JORDAN!!!" Fred and George called out together. The others rolled their eyes.

Harry turned his attention back to Ginny and Hermione.

"Second we get out of this car, we will continue this discussion. Alright?" Ginny said pointedly to Hermione. Hermione shrugged her shoulders, before turning to Harry. Her jaw dropped.

"How much of our conversation did you hear exactly?" She asked nervously, watching as Ginny turned to talk to Bill. Harry's face flushed. He wasn't about to lie to her...

Then, suddenly, he didn't have too...

~*~

Rae - Luna

"Oh...Is that a thestral?" Luna asked pointing to the sky.

"I don't think so, because I can see it too," Penelope replied poiletly.

The thing flying in the air came so close to the car you could see its face.

"LEE!" George and Fred shouted at the same time.

Bill quickly descended to a parking at an abandoned shopping center. Lee Jordan landed in a nearby woods and came out to the car.

~*~

Jaemoon - Katie

"JORDAN! You idiot! You scared years off of my life!" Angelina yelled.

"Wow, Lina, are you channeling McGonagall?" Katie asked, and ducked a swat from Angelina, laughing. They were sitting around tables near the entrance to the shopping center. Katie was perched on Oliver's lap, with his arms around her waist. Every so often, Hermione would look at them, and then at Harry, with a slightly wistful look in her eyes. Katie wondered how long it would take Harry to pick up on the fact that he and his best friend should take their relationship quite a few steps further.

"Well, now that we're all here and safe, what should we do now?"

"I dunno, Charlie. Does anybody know where we are?" Asked Fred, looking around.

"The sign says... Oxford Shopping Centre. My guess would be that we're in... Oxford!" Pronounced George.

"Thanks, genius. So is there anybody else that really should be with us?"

"Hmm... how about Draco Malfoy?" Suggested Ginny. At the shocked looks everybody else gave her, she laughed and told them that she was just joking. Katie, looking at Ginny's face, didn't think that there was much joking going on.

"Well, where do we want to go?"

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione just sat back in the car, she didn't feel like getting out as the others did to talk to Lee. He was testing out his new broom, a SilverArrow 2003. As she listened to him brag, it was a prototype that wasn't even out on the market yet. Seems his father pulled a favor and got it saying something about Lee 'testing it'.

"NO WAY!" Fred exclaimed as he ran a hand along the silver twigs.

"Yeah, but I only got it for the summer. Then it has to go back. I'm just 'Testing it'." He said with a wink.

"Can I try it?" Ron asked. Harry was right beside him and both were practically drooling over the silver broom that almost glowed in the moon light.

Hermione let out a sigh, and pulled a small book out of her hand bag and began reading. It was a small novel called 'Lover's Moon' a romance novel for teens. She didn't want any of the guys to know she was reading it. Ginny already knew, and didn't say anything, but that was only because it was From Ginny that Hermione borrowed it from.

~*~

Ginny - Sera

Ginny crawled in the car, it was finally starting to cool off, the weather anyway. Tension was heavy in the air, Fred disappered from the crowd of broom fans with Angelina, the same with Katie and Oliver. Percy and Penelope went off for a stroll (or so they said) Bill, Charlie, Harry, Ron, George, and Lee all gawked over the broom and took turns flying it as the sun plumeted deeper into the horizon casting deep breath-taking shades of purple, black, and blue into the sky.

She saw Hermione squinting at the pages cursing the broken over head lights. "Hey, where are you at," she nodded at the novel.

"Umm..." she blushed.

Ginny giggled, "Too bad it's not you right?"

"Yeah," she replied breathlessly. "Does it exsit?"

"How should I know," Ginny snorted. "Umm... by the way..."

Hermione squirmed.

"Have you decided? Harry? Ron?"

Hermione snapped the book shut, "How do you know they are the ones I like?"

"SO! You like someone!"

"NO!!!" She laughed, "Besides, Ginny, they are my friends that's it!"

It was too dark to tell if she was lying, "Well, we need to get you a boyfriend, Miss. Granger."

"No one needs a boyfriend, Ginny. Anyway I don't see you with a snog buddy!" Hermione snapped.

"Well twist that knife a little further, why don't ya? You know the one," she turned around and pointed, "IN MY BACK!!!" she threw open the door and stomped out with a heavy cloak.

Great! she thought, I'm cold, tired, hungry, and I just had a row with my best friend!

She looked around, and walked over to the boys, "You just going to drool over that damn thing all night!?"

"Yes," someone replied.

"WELL, I'm going to get some SLEEP if that's ALRIGHT WITH YOU!"

"Yes," another person said.

Ginny stomped over to a table and crawled up on top of it curling under the old cloak and shut her eyes tight knowing she couldn't sleep, but didn't know what else to do. I'd be in a warm bed had you been rational. Why do I have to bloody mess EVERYTHING up!?

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

The light was rapidly dimming as the sun began to go down. Even though the tempurature was still balmy, Percy could feel Penelope shivering beside him.

"I don't think we should wander too far away from the group," she whispered, looking from side to side as if she was convinced something was going to jump out at her from the broken windows of the large structure or the broken fence marking the end of the pavement.

"We're essentially going in a circle. Eventually, we'll be back with the group." Holding up his wand, he said, "LUMOS" so there would be more light to see around the molding boxes and gaping trash bins. Every other light was out in the parking lot surrounding the shopping center.

"It's getting late and I don't feel comfortable being out here alone."

"Even with me?" He was going for sauve but it didn't seem to be coming out that way.

"Even with you, Percy. I'm sorry but I'd rather there were more people around to defend against anyone who decided to drop by and take an axe to our poor bodies."

Penelope had a tendency to be mellow-dramatic at times but he knew that she wasn't meaning that HE couldn't take care of them. She was just nervous. It made perfect sense to be nervous. Why, he was feeling a little nervous himself as he heard something fall against the side of one of the large metal bins.

"Who . . . who's theee . . . there?"

Before he had a chance to find out, Penelope screamed and ran back the way they had come.

~*~

Sevens - George

Finally Fred, George, and Lee had stopped drooling over the broom and were getting tired. Lee had decided to curl up under the table that Ginny was on top of and Fred and George were left to their argument of where which one would sleep.

"I am so sleeping on top of the car!" George said to his brother, Fred who was shaking his head. "No, I am, you can find some place else to sleep!" Fred said this as he summoned his sleeping bag from the trunk, after opening it.

At the same time, George did the same and the two made a dive for the top of the car, causing a rather loud noise, wakening Hermione from her sleep inside the car, rousing Ginny from her thoughts, and not even bothering the nearby Lee Jordan who was asleep and dead to the world.

At this George shrugged and snickered at his brother, "Fine, we'll share the top. Just don't kick me like you did when we were little. I still have scars." Fred looked taken aback from this...Information and laughed full out at George, "I kick? You're the one who kicked." The two then decided it'd be best to get along and went back to setting up their sleeping bags on the top of the car when they heard the loud noise and a piercing scream.

The two looked up to see none other than Penelope, who had lighted her own wand and was running for the car. When she reached the car, Penelope opened the door and jumped inside with Hermione, "Save us," she screamed as she curled up in the seat.

Fred and George exchanged a knowing look and hopped off the car and went off in the direction the noise came from, both having their wands lit with a muttered spell of, "Lumos."

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione, who was already semi-awake from Fred and George jumping on top of the car, was now WIDE awake from Penelope shaking her like a mad woman, and yelling at her to save them.

"Penelope, get a grip, what happened?" Hermione demanded, but the girl only stammered after that. Smart as a rocket science, but as frightened as a puppy she thought when the older girl curled up in a fetal position. She carefully climbed over the seat and got out of the car to find out what was going on.

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

Percy wasn't surprised to see Fred and George skidding to a halt beside him as he stared in the direction of the noise.

"What is it?" whispered George.

"I don't know," Percy whispered back. "I can't seem to get my legs to move to go over there."

Fred grabbed his arm. "The IMPEDIMENTA curse?"

"No. Fright."

Hermione came running up to where the three of them were. "What's going on?" Her question seemed loud in the silence of the deepening gloom.

All three boys shushed her but Percy was the one to answer the question. "I don't know exactly. There was a sound from over there. Penelope screamed and ran away. I really, really wanted to follow her but, well . . ."

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Penelope screamed, running towards the others. Fred, George, and Percy looked around uneasily. Was this place haunted? It shouldn't be...

"What was that?" Bill Weasley, the oldest and most mature, called out from his and Charlie's spot on the ground. From the other side came Katie, Oliver, and Angelina. They all seemed to be wondering the same thing.

Penelope squated herself down on the ground, crying. Why did everything have to happen to her?

"Penelope..." Hermione Granger asked, putting her hand on Penelope's shoulders. "What exactly scared you?"

"I don't know...I couldn't see it. It was invisible."
Then, like a mental lightbulb clicking in her mind, Hermione screamed:

"HARRY! RON! GET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione waited, but nothing happened. She raised her wand in a threatening manner at the thin air, and yelled again.

"HARRY, RON! WHERE ARE YOU?"

~*~

Ginny - Sera

It's true what Hermione had said, Ginny thought to herself as a small tear slipped down her cheek. Dean had owled her earlier about another girl, she hadn't told anyone, even her best friend.

Just as the name lingerd in her mind Hermione stomped from the car out into the night and Penolope whimmperd as she followed her.

She whiped away her tears angerly as she sat up.

"What?" she went to climb down from her table to see what was going on. It was really dark now and she tripped on something near the table, "Argh!" she fell on to someone with a soft 'thud', "Lee?"

"AHh! Bugger!" Lee Jorden was dead to the world when he slept but it was hard not to sleep when someone falls on top of you. "Ginny? Geroff!"

"Well, it's not like I wanted to trip! OuCh!" she howled as she rubbed her smarting elbow.

They both stood up Lee was clutching his stomach and Ginny was cradeling her arm.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Oh, yeah I'm fine," Ginny replied quickly as she flexed her arm, "this is nothing. You?"

"Yeah."

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" Penelope's scream peirced the night.

"What do you think's going on over there?" Lee nodded in the direction Hermione and Penelope had gone off to.

"I haven't a clue," Ginny said, "Do you want to go check it out?"

"Sure."

The two of them walked towards the screaming.

"HARRY! RON! GET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hermione's shouted.

"Oh God those two," she mutterd to no one imperticular, and Lee laughed. She looked at him about to ask him what was so funny about scarying a girl like Penelope, but she couldn't. He was kind of cute. "Oh my God!" she said stopping amazed she could think about something like that.

"What can you see what's going on over there?" Lee squinted into the distance.

"Over where?" she asked scared her could read her thoughs. "Oh, no. I can't see anything." she mubbled. "I mean I can see, I just can't see over there." SHUT UP STOP TALKING YOU DOLT! Ginny mentaly slapped herself.

They came up to the crowd and saw Hermione pointing her wand angerly at well... nothing. "HARRY, RON! WHERE ARE YOU?"

~*~

Rae - Luna

After Bill landed the car, everyone was busy looking at Lee's broom. Well, everyone besides Hermione that is. Anyway, after, Bill landed she thought she would go out into the woods, because she swore she saw a threstral.

Luna wandered into the forests, and got carried away in her thoughts, forgetting all about the therestral. It was about sun set when Luna finallly reliazed she was lost. She turned around and realized she was lost. Just then there was a rustling in the bush.

'What is that,' Luna thought. A reptiallian looking animal appeared out of the bushes.

"I knew I saw you,"she said, knowing full and well threstrals couldn't talk. Her mind snapped back to her current situation when she saw the sun. Since therestrals were good with directions, maybe it could take her back. "Can you take me back to the vacant lot outside of the woods.

The therestral started walking, and Luna followed. After about and hour, when the sun was down, Luna heard something, a rustling. In terror she tripped over a tree root. 'Merlin's beard' she thought. She tried to stop the therestral, but it kept walking. Almost jogging to the source of the noise.

"AAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!" Luna heard sounding very, very near to her. Suddenly she heard the unmistakable voice of Hermione.

"HARRY! RON! GET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"HERMIONE!" Luna screamed trying to get some to help her out of the woods, since she was immobilized.

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

Penelope curled herself around Percy as she tried to hide her eyes from the nightmare that she seemed to be imagining that surrounded them. "Make it go away! Make it go away!"

"Hermione says it's just Harry and Ron," he whispered, trying to stay upright as the girl buffeted him around in her fearful thrashing. "Calm down."

"I can't calm down. Make it leave."

From behind the group, something came through the trees while in front of them, another clang came from the trash bins.

This time when Penelope screamed, she took down Percy in a tangle of limbs and blonde hair. He couldn't see anything and his ears would probably ring for the next week.

~*~

That was only page one of Road Trip.

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione tilted her head to the side a bit to try to listen to the call of someone from behind her, all the while keeping her eyes on what was in front of her.

"Go see what it is Hermione, we've got it here," Fred said. He and George had their wands out and looked like they were going to investigate.

"All right, but be carefull you two," with that she backed away and then turned to see what was going on, behind her. She listend again, and heard the muffled noises of someone struggling. Quietly she tiptoed through the woods until she caught a glimps of the struggler in the fading sunlight.

"Luna? What are you doing over here? Come on I'll help you." Hermione cast a spell that made the vines release Luna, and she helped the girl to her feet.

"You alright?"

"Yeah."

"Let's get back..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! RON I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!"

~*~

Sevens - George

George ignored the random scream and promise to murder his younger brother. Instead, his attention was on the trashcan.

He began to creep towards it, with Fred following shortly behind. The two of them had their wands out and were ignoring Penelope's cries of "Don't go, it might eat you." When George reached the trashcan, he gave it a soft kick before doing anything else.

Fred was about to cast a spell to thump it, but shrugged and waited with George as more noises came from the trashcan.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione wasn't the one who screamed folks. Hermione was with Luna. Why would she scream at Ron when she's with Luna????? It was someone else. Penny, Percy, ... I dunno, someone else. IT WAS NOT HERMIONE!! If it was I would have said so!

~*~

Larinzia - Percy

Percy finally managed to untangle himself from the frightened girl. "You need to calm down, Penelope. Everything's going to be fine."

"Nnnn . . . no . . . I . . . I . . . can't."

He noticed that her color was a little high and her lips were blue.

"This doesn't look good. I think I better take her to get some help. Don't wait for me."

With a small murmur in Penelope's ear, reminding her what she needed to do, the two of them Apparated to St. Mungo's.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione quickly got Luna untangled, and the two girls quickly ran back to where Fred and George were just as Percy and Penny appriated and Bill and Charlie showed up.

"What's going on George?" Bill asked.

"We don't know, but we're about to find out," George said.

"Where did Percy and Penny go?" Hermione asked.

"St. Mungo's... Now shh!" Fred said pointing his wand at the trash can.

~*~

Ginny - Sera

Luna stagered over to the group of five Weasleys and Lee with Hermione's help "You guys it--" she started.

"Shh!" urged Fred again.

Everyone looked at the trash can in silence, as a muching noise came from it. George kicked it again, and an odd snort was followed by clomping, like hooves we coming toward them.

Luna looked at them. She wasn't at all afraid, almost frustrated. "It's just a--"

"Luna, please," Ginny whimmperd as she tried to hush her before Luna provked the "thing" even more.

Luna fell back with everyone else, "I'm just trying to say..."

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione could tell that Luna obviously knew something, but the thing in front of them was distracting them from listening.

"Do you know what it is Luna?" Hermione asked the blonde beside her.

"Yes, I do, but it seems no one else cares to know."

~*~

Jaemoon - Katie Bell

Katie couldn't believe how amazing Lee's new broom was. She looked over at her boyfriend and noticed that his jaw had dropped open, and he was drooling. Katie reached over and shut Oliver's mouth with her hand.

"Ollie... you're drooling."

"Uh... Er... Sorry about that. It's just such a pretty broom."

"I know." Oliver slipped his arm around her waist. He pulled her towards him, and the two crept away from the others who were still in a semi-catatonic state over the broomstick. They lay down in a grassy area not too far from the car, and were getting up to the kinds of "mischief" that had Professor McGonagall constantly yelling at them back in Hogwarts when somebody screamed, loudly.

"What was that?" yelled Katie.

"I dunno, Kates, maybe we should go see what's happening. I hope they're all ok." The couple got up and brushed each other off. They ran over to the rest of the group, and saw the others standing around a garbage can, looking frustrated, scared, and sad, respectively. Katie saw the tearstains on Ginny's cheeks and the look on her face, and pulled her aside.

"What's going on, Gin?"

"Well... there's something in the garbage can, and we don't know what it is. Angelina and my brothers are kicking it, but I don't know what it really is."

"Not what I meant. I meant why have you been crying? Was it that Thomas boy?" she saw Ginny look down. "Ok, that's it, I'm ripping out his spleen. You've always been sort of a little sister to me, and NOBODY screws with Katie Bell's family."

"No, wait! Look, it's ok..." Ginny fell silent at the glare Katie gave her. "Ok... but no eating the spleen afterwards."

"I'll be good, promise." Katie hugged Ginny.

"WHY WON'T YOU ALL JUST SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!" came a yell from Hermione.

"Uh oh, doesn't sound too good."

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione had just about had it. When she yelled, everyone stopped and looked at her like she was some kind of nut, but at least they stopped.

"Luna knows what it is, so just stop for a moment and listen to her.

~*~

Luna - Rae

"It is a therestral."

"Oh. One of those things you can only see if you see someone snu-" George interrupted, but stopped as soon as he saw the glare from Hermione.

"Yes. When I went into the wood I found it. It led me back here," Luna continued.

“How do we know you aren’t lying,” Lee suddenly cut in.

“I don’t think Luna would lye about something this serious, let alone lye at all,” Ginny said.

“If you want more proof, just get Harry,” Luna said simply.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"Fine," said Lee, "Who's all coming with?"

"I will," Ginny replied.

Lee knodded, "Anyone else?

~*~

Sevens - George

Both Fred and George nodded and then said in unison, "I'm coming." They then grinned at eachother and Fred gave Ginny a pat on the head, as did George. "We knew our ickle wittle sister would come," said George, as he ruffled Ginny's hair. At this, Fred nodded, "Of course, it's that whole Weasley adventure thing." The two brothers then laughed and turned to the others in the group.

"I hope you guys are coming too, wouldn't want to be left all alone out here in the dark." Said George as he looked around, using his wand to illuminate a few things. Fred then made an eerie noise, "Oooooh, I'm telling you. I hear Professor Binns' cousin Thomas the Horrid haunts this place."

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

"Trevor! Come back Trevor" Neville called as he chased Trevor his frog. Neville had gone on a camping trip with an uncle somewhere near an abandoned Oxford Shopping mall. Trevor had jumped away from Neville when he and his uncle had been trying to set up camp, Neville hadn't even managed to get his tent up yet, and night was falling. Trevor ket jumping away from him.

"NO, TREVOR!!! Come back!" Neville shouted. Neville chased Trevor until they reached the edge of the forest near the shopping center. Neville caught Trevor just as he caught sight of a group of people and a car. Neville recognized someone from the group and called out.

"Hello. What are you doing here?"

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"Hello. What are you doing here?" Harry heard Neville cry out from behind him. Harry jumped.

"Neville? What on earth are you doing here?!"

"Hello Harry! Didn't expect to see you out here!" Neville shouted cheerifully. "What are you guys doing?"

" 'm on a Road Trip with the Weasleys, Oliver Wood, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Lee Jordan, Luna, and Hermione." He paused for a minute. "At least, I think that's everyone. I'm not for sure..."

"Sounds like fun. I'm stuck here with my uncle on this stupid camping trip...*And I've lost Trevor again!*" Neville paused for a minute. "Why are you over here in the backwoods instead out there by everyone..." Neville didn't get a chance to say anything else, because someone's hand went over his mouth.

"Are you mad, Harry?" The voice of Ron Weasley said with a harsh wisper. "We aren't going to tell *anyone*! Remember?"

Harry smiled. "But I think we can tell Neville...say, Nev, would you like to help us? We could sure use your help."

"Sure, but first I've got to find..."

Over by the car, a loud squash was heard.

"Blimey, Lee, I think you just killed a toad with those large feet of yours!"
"Wait a minute...That's Trevor!"

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"Oh Merlin!" yelled Lee as he picked up the toad, it was in real bad shape.

Ginny ran over to him and examined the poor thing, she didn't mind toads, frogs, and other things considered unpleasent. She also didn't mind letting Lee smell her new perfume. She blushed when he looked at her.

Fred noticed and wasn't pleased to say the least.

"I wonder if Nevile's here--" he started.

"TREVOR!" sure enough the round faced sixteen year old walked over to the broken body of his pet.

"Oh, Neville, I'm really sorry..." Ginny started, she knew he loved that stupid frog no matter how much he complained about it.

Lee gulped, "I don't think it's dead."

"OF COURSE HE'S NOT DEAD," Neville stamerd taking the toad quickly in his hands. He looked it over, "He's fine. Never been better."

Ginny didn't know wheather to believe him or not. He sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than he was Lee.

~*~

Sevens - George/Fred

George looked at Neville and his toad and poked the toad with his wand. "'ey, George, it dead?" Asked Fred as he came to stand beside his brother. "Dunno, but if you poke him right there, he makes a funny noise." At this Fred grinned and pushed George aside, "Let me try," Neville looked at the two in horror and pulled Trevor closer to him. "Leave him alone!"

George then noticed what he was doing and coughed, rather pointedly, "Sorry, Neville old mate, didn't mean to." He then patted Neville on the back and looked to Lee and Ginny, "Let's go find Harry already. Standing around here is dull." Fred nodded in agreement, "Still don't get why we couldn't torment Pugsley."

George then shook his head at his brother, "His name's Dudley, not Pugsley." Fred then snickered and shrugged, "Oh, quite sorry on that. Let's go!"

~*~

dark_sprite - Ron

Ron saw Fred and George heading towards where he and Harry were standing and he turned to Harry.

"Harry, Fred and George are coming!" he said.

Harry turned to look in Ron's direction and saw the twins. "Blimey, we'd better get it done soon Ron, give me a hand with this."

Ron nodded and went to help Harry.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny stayed back with Neville and Lee.

"I'm really sorry about the twins Neville. They have a good heart, it's just sometimes they can be...insenstive." She looked at Lee for input.

He looked really angry at himself for sqashing the toad.

"How's Trevor?" she asked Neville, but before he had a chance to answer her someone came sprinting towards the car where they were. She couldn't make out their face. It had to have been like three in the morning and she was dizzy with exaustion.

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville looked at Trevor closely, trying not to lie to himself. Then He smiled.
"Trevor's not dead, but he is hurt. He should be ok though. I wish he would stop jumping away from me. He could have been hurt more serioiusly."

Neville cuddled Trevor to his chest.

"You guys are going on a road trip? Right? That's what Harry said." Neville asked Ginny.

Ginny nodded.

"If I ask my uncle if I could come along, would it be ok if I joined all of you?" Neville asked.

~*~

Sevens - George

Fred and George stopped rather abruptly. They then looked at eachother, then Fred whispered to George, "I bet they're out here..." George then nodded at this, and grinned at Fred, whispering back, "Leave them to it?"

Fred then smirked and the twins turned and walked back to the car. Halfway there, George started singing "Frightening Grindylows at Night" at the top of his lungs, and then Fred joined in, laughing.

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"Harry..."
"Harry..."
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!!!"
Harry shot around quickly, placing his hands over Ron's mouth.

"Shut up! Do you want them to find us?!" Harry whispered harshly. Ron shrugged.

"'Is not like it matters much anymore. You're great idea of telling Neville, they already know were out here. 's only a matter of time before Hermione finds out we've..."
A sudden noise was heard in the bushes.

"Find out what, exactly?" The voice of Hermione Granger filled the air of the boy's hiding spot.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"Of course you can Neville come on we'll go with you to ask your Uncle and then Lee and I will help you with your bags if he says it's okay."

"Oh I'm pretty sure it'll be okay."

The three of them walked over to the Longbottoms' campground.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione stood over Harry, and Ron who were hiding in the bushes.

"So what's the big idea?"

~*~

Jakia - Harry

Harry jumped. So did Ron.

"Ah!" They both yelled at the same time. Hermione stood there, eyes glaring.

"What are you two plotting now?" She said, putting on her best McGonagal scowl.

"Plotting?"
"We don't plot, Mione."
"Maybe you've confused us with Fred and George, they're usually plotting something..." But Hermione wasn't listening. She had her eye on something in the bushes.
"What's that?" She asked, walking towards it. Harry and Ron shared a look of defeat.

"Well, there goes the surprise birthday party we've been planning..."

~*~

Hermione ~ Diamond

Hermione bent down to look at what was hiding behind Ron and Harry. The bushes moved a bit, and when she took a closer look, and small black and brown fur ball jumped out and began to viscously lick her face.

"Ahhh ... hahahaha, what? Oh a Puppy! Oh how cute!" Hermione said between giggles as the small rot wiler licked her over and over again. Finially she managed to get a grip on the pup and she pulled it up to take a good look at it. It's fur was thick and soft, and pitch black. She had brown on her paws, and underbelly, and a big puppy smile. Hermione was in love!

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville led Ginny and Lee to his Uncle's campsite. When they got there Neville's Uncle was sitting in front of a green fire.

"Uncle, could I go on a road trip with Harry, Ron, Ginny, Lee, Fred, George, Percy, and all of them? Please?" Neville begged his uncle.

"Yes you can go, I think maybe it'll be ok if you spend the whole summer with them, if you want." Neville's uncle shrugged. " You were suppose to spend the summer with me, but I'll be busy."

Neville nodded, holding Trevor. Trevor croaked a bit weaker than he normally did, but seemed to be a little bit better than before. Neville grabbed his bags and Lee grabbed one.

"Ok. Let's go back to the car now." Ginny said, then turned towards the car. Before the group could start back towards the car though, there was a loud noise.

~*~

Sevens - George

Fred fwapped George lightly with his wand. "I told you to keep the fireworks from going off!" George rubbed his head as he scowled at his brother. "I didn't let the fireworks go off! It was some other noise." The two then looked in the direction of the noise and grinned. "Shall we?" Said George as he held out his arm for Fred. Fred then smiled diabolically at his brother as he took his arm. "We shall!"

"One galleon says it's not at all scary," Said George as they merrily walked towards the noise. Fred then nodded, "I know a losing bet, but you're on."

They skipped off towards the noise, singing some weird song when they finally stopped near the noise maker, let go of eachother's arm and turned towards the noise itself, pointing their wands at it. "Avast," echoed Fred and George in unison when out stumbled none other than Crookshanks, glaring at the two while a mouse scurried away. "Oh, apologies, good Crookshanks, fellow." Said George with a grin, "Didn't mean to interrupt your meal."

Fred and George were about to grab Crookshanks and take him to the car when the noise resounded directly infront of them, causing Crookshanks to hiss and jump ontop of George's head. Fred looked at his brother and laughed, "Nice hat, George!"

George pried a now purring Crookshanks off of his head and handed the cat to his brother, putting it on top of his head, "I think it'd look better on you!" The two then got into a small friendly fight as Crookshanks ran off to find Hermione.

~*~

dark_sprite - Ron

"Bother," said Ron. "All this work and for nothing."

Hermione offered him a sypathetic look. Then out of a sudden, she flung her arms around him and said, "Well, I still appreciate the gesture. Thanks, Ron."

Ron knew his ears where crimson, but he didn't care, he was happy because Hermione obviously liked the gift and also, she had given him a hug.

He smiled at her goofily. "Glad you liked it, Hermione."

~*~

Rae~Luna

Luna had sat quietly through everything that had happened. That had mainly been because she was really tired, for it being 5:30 in the morning, and they were still in that old deserted parking lot.

Luna heard giggling back in the tree's from Hermione. The three of them must be doing something again Luna thought. She could also see Ginny, Lee, Neville, Fred, and George from where she was sitting. Then only people who weren't actually doing anything, were herself, Bill, and Charlie.

"So do you know where we are going next, Bill?" Luna asked.

"Well, we have to wait for all of the other people to get back to the car, and then we will decide. Why don't you go get som rest."

Luna thought that was a good idea, so she went and laid down in the car. Right when she was drifting off to sleep, she heard a scream. Not a scared on, but a happy one.

~*~

ChromeRose - Draco

Draco felt as if he had been running for days, his every breath was like fire bursting through his lungs. Gradually he slowed, trying to take in where he'd blindly escaped to. His father's shouts echoed in his ears, You pathetic little boy! How DARE you humiliate me again...this will be the last time........All he remembered was running to his room and grabbing his broomstick. His broomstick, where was it?!? 'Must have lost it after that damned therestrel knocked into me' he thought angrily. He sat on the grass and tried to pull his thoughts together, 'first things first, WHERE am I going to go where noone hates me'....all of the sudden he heard a screech coming from a shopping center lot in the distance. Looking over that way, he glimpsed a mass of red heads....
"No...that can bloody well not be a herd of Weasels,"he thought.
"Well, Draco....at least maybe you can have a little fun if you're going to stuck here, at least they're not muggles"
And with that he jogged over to the small group...
" 'Ello, Weasel.", he smirked. His smirk shortly turned into a blank expression as he noticed exactly how many Weasleys there were. Frantically he searched for his wand....

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"And you too, Harry-" Hermione said, hugging his neck. She kissed both boys on the cheek before turning to the adorable puppy Harry and Ron had gotten her. Harry felt his face go crisom.

"And this one her is just the cutest one of them all! Oh yes he is! Yes he is!! Oh, who's my baby? Huh, who's my baby?" She said in a very babyish, childlike voice very much unlike Hermione's regular voice. She picked up the puppy and began to play with it. She giggled. "Why, I believe you're a she, aren't you?" Hermione said, rubbing the puppy's belly. Harry and Ron gave each other a high five quickly.

"AHHHHHH!!!!!"
"Great Scott! That sounded like Ginny!"

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Hermione's delighted squeel over the puppy was soon followed by the shrill battle cry of Ginny lunging for the sneering Slytherin.

"I'll show you WEASEL you little boucing FERRET!" the feirce red head screamed as she pumled him to the ground. Ginny wove a tapestry of profainity as she wrestled the bit of wood from Draco's grasp. She hadn't forgiven Malfoy for all the awful things he had done to her brothers, friends, and everyone else. She had to addmit strangeling him with her bare hands was a little bit more enjoyable than hexing bats up his nose.

Hermione, Ron, and Harry ran to the noise and got there just before all the excitement died down.

"What is HE doing here!?" asked Ron pointing at Draco who was currently getting beat over the head by Ginny.

"Ginny stop," yelled Hermione but only half heartedly.

"Draco came into sight," Neville said as he held two wands in his left hand, "then Ginny saw him go for his wand and she--"

"Started to kick the bloody crap out of him and swearing like a sailor!" yelled Lee as he clapped her on the back as one of the twins held her back.

"I didn't mean it like that - uhg!" Draco was pulled by the scruff of his neck away from her by George, and Fred helped his sister up, even though he wanted her to pulerize him he knew he had to make sure she didn't hurt him... again.

"Yeah right!" yelled Ginny lunging and getting pulled back.

"I wasn't going to hex any of you." said Draco tring to smooth his slick hair, "If I was, I would have. Although now it seems like a very good idea."

"You're telling me you arrogent son of a - err!" Ginny yanked herself forward this this time at Neville for her wand and was pulled back quickly.

Crookshanks sat infront of Hermione in the mist of it all and yowled like a hell cat untill she put it in the car. After Crookshanks got done spitting and hissing Hermione picked it up and tryed to calm him down.

"Where'd you come from Malfoy?" asked George shoving him around.

Someone walked out infront of them all, "That's enough!"

Sevens - George

It was Bill who walked infront of the little group and held up his hands, "That's enough! We need to get some rest. By the way everything is going, we won't get much. But you should all goto bed. I don't want to drive around a bunch of grumpy teenagers. Especially with Fred and George thrown into the bunch." He then gave Fred and George, who were trying to look innocent a bit of an appreciative look before turning to Draco.

"You're welcome to join our trip. However, do not start any fights, that goes for all of you. If you do start something...I'll let George and Fred here test something on you." The last sentence was said in a very humorous way, which caused everyone to laugh, and to get a bit of a smirk from Draco.

After awhile, everyone was looking for a place to sleep. The twins had settled ontop of the car, side-by-side, since they agreed on that earlier in the night. Everyone had their eyes covered with a blanket, or had their heads in their sleeping bags as the sun began to rise.

~*~

Jae - Katie Bell

Cuddling up to Oliver Wood was a very nice thing, decided Katie Bell. He was warm and huggable. The two were sharing a sleeping bag on top of a picnic table a few metres away from the car. The sun had risen, and it was time for Katie to get up. Too much sleep made her cranky.

"Hmm... wonder if there's anything to eat 'round here." Katie went into the car, quietly, and grabbed Bill's knapsack off of the dashboard. She rummaged through it, finding a frying pan, plates, eggs, some sausage, and a spatula. She went over to a firepit near the picnic area. She made a fire with her wand, and began cooking. Soon, Ron woke up.

"Mmm... do I smell sausage?"

"Yes you do, now take a bucket or something and go get water from the tap."

"Where will I find a bucket?"

"Look for it!" The sausage was starting to crisp, and she'd just gotten the food on the plates when the group began to wake.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny turned over in her bed roll and smelled breakfast, as her stomach growled.

"Mmm... do I smell sausage?"

Ginny heard her brother mutter, and then Katie orderd him to do something which he didn't understand fully because of lack of sleep.

Ginny went to go help with the food and then eat when she heard someone.

"Oy, that smells good," Lee growled in his scratchy early morning voice.

He had slept underneath her table again so she knew not to fall on him like before.

"Do you need help Katie?" Ginny asked as she moved the sausage onto different plates and started on the eggs.

"No I've got this under control but," Katie stoped talking to scoff, "I tink your brother needs some assistance finding the bucket."

Ron had his hands moving around in a bag but his eyes were closed and he looked dead on his feet. Ginny snatched the bag away from him and bonked him on his head with it softly.

"Wake up, Bozo!" Ginny laughed as she pulled out a bucket and started towards the tap.

Once Ginny had filled it and put the bucket down she cuped some from the tap up in her hand and broght it up to her face. She was definetly awake now. she let some more run on her bloody knuckles after her row with Draco.

She dryed then on her shirt carefully and picked up the bucket only to turn around and drop it again at the sight of the very person she had just thought of, Draco.

"What are you really doing here, Ma-" she asked trying to figure out what he was up to in a bit more civilized way than before.

"My name is Draco not Malfoy"

~*~

Rae - Luna

Luna had always loved the mornings. It was her favorite time of the day. She usually got up on her own, but today she was woken up by a clattering sound.

Sitting up she saw that Ron lay face down on the ground. Luna giggled to herself. She wondered how Ginny could live with him.

So Luna got up and started getting out of her makeshift bed. She saw Katie cooking over the fire, frying sausages. In the distance she saw Ginny, with...Draco?

Luna decided for the best to wake someone up. A sensible person, who was a friend of Ginny's. The first person she found was Hermione.

"Hermione, I think you should wake up. I think Ginny might soon have another row with Draco," Luna said in a nervous voice, because, honestly, she felt bad for him. She was always grateful for her dad, and now she was really thankful.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"My name is Draco not Malfoy"

They starred at eachother for a while. Ginny didn't know what he was getting at maybe he wanted to scare her, flater her, make her pity him. She didn't care and craved to know all at the same time.

"Draco," she said it came out a bit more whispery than she would have liked. Ginny regained her gruffness, "You hungry?"

Draco shifted his weight and scratched his neck, "A little bit," his signature smirk in tact as he blatenly lied. He was straved, literally. He walked towards her, seeing her eyes narrow. Draco bent at the knees, picked up the empty bucket, and went to fill it back up at the tap behind her. He brushed past Ginny at giving her a look leaving her unsure, once again, to as what was he up too.

"What's going on you two," asked Hermione as she and Luna approached them.

The redhead looked back at the boy, "Nothing, nothing at all."

~*~

Sevens - George

George woke up to see Ginny and Draco over by the tap. He then shook Fred awake, which got a rather nice welcome. "Bloody...George! Don't wake me!" At that, Fred crawled off onto the hood and was about to go back to sleep when he also noticed Ginny and Draco. He then growled and got off the car. "I'll pulverize the little brat if he touches her," muttered George as he hopped off the car and was about to charge over there when Fred grabbed his shirt. "She can handle herself, you know. Let's see what she does, THEN we'll pummel him."

At that both Fred and George sat on the hood of the car and watched Ginny and Draco to see what was going to happen. However, they decided to converse while waiting, "Why do you think Hermione wouldn't let us experiment on Pugsley," asked George while Fred was trying to fix his own hair. "I dunno, maybe she really is as compassionate as Ron rants about her being. She did start some stupid group about House Elves," replied Fred, just as George messed up his hair again. "Stop being so vain. It's not fitting." Fred merely messed up George's hair in retaliation and then the twins looked back to Ginny and Draco, inwhich, Ginny was still looking shocked at Draco.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny walked past Hermione and Luna and went toward the car for a fresh set of clothes. When she got there she saw her two brothers on the roof of the car.

"You've gone soft Gin?" asked one of them.

"No. Tired," she said about to go into to car for her bag.

"Yeah right," said the other one and they both made kissy noises.

looked back at them quickly and knew she couldn't let Fred and George have the last laugh. She stood back servaying Fred and George, looking them up and down as they sat on the roof with dishelved hair and wrinkled clothes.

"Interesting night?" she made the same kissy noises and ducked into the car quickly avoiding a hex and threats of 'experimental testing'.

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville woke up to the smell of sausage and eggs. He checked on Trevor, who was asleep. He picked up Trevor, who woke up and croaked at him. Trevor seemed to be a little bit better from being squashed.
He looked around and saw Katie cooking eggs and wandered over to her. She was just finnishing with the eggs as he walked up.
"Do you need any help?" Neville asked Katie. But before Katie could answer there was a loud commotion from the nearby woods.

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"NO!!! For the 500 time, NO!!!"

"But Harry-"

"No buts, Fredrick Weasley!! I will not let you test your product on me!" Harry called out, looking at the two Weasley twins.

"Come on, Harry. You're our business partner!" George wailed.

"And besides, we've always considered you part of the family. All you need is a little hair dye..."

"You will *not* turn my hair red!" Harry fumed, storming off the other direction.

Fred and George looked at each other and sighed.

"That's what he thinks, anyway..."

~*~

Jaemoon - Katie Bell

Ginny and Draco seemed very... *close*. Katie smiled to herself. She grabbed her boyfriend, and walked with him a little bit away from the table. She figured that Hermione, being Muggleborn, could figure out the rest of the things involved with breakfast.


"Ollie, did you see Gins and Malfoy?"

"Yeah. They're sort of like you and I, in some ways. They've always sort of had a... well, love-hate relationship, but there's potential."

"Lots of potential." She kissed him, and Fred, Lee and George started to catcall from over by the table. Katie made a rude gesture with her hand, and they started back towards the rest of the group.

"So, where are we going now?" Asked Percy.

"Well... is there anybody else that we want to come along?" Replied Charlie.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione came back to the camp site from the tap. She let Crookshanks out of her box for her morning catch of the day, and then took her pup for a walk. "what shall I name you?" she mumbled.

"How about Puglesy?" George offered.

"No, that's silly. Anyway she's a GIRL! Mmm I KNOW! I will name you Mudpie! All black and brown just like mud!" With that she picked up her pup and gave her a sqeeze, which just made Fred and George roll their eyes at each other, while Harry and Ron both looked longing at her. After she handing Mudpie off to Ginny she started to pass out plates of breakfast!

~*~

Sevens - George

George and Fred decided to ignore Ginny's little comment earlier, and now, after bothering Harry about testing something for their Skiving Snackboxes they were offering names for Hermione's puppy.

"I happen to like Pugsley, it's an all around name, don't you think, Fred?" Asked George as he turned to Fred, who was putting a bit of powder, that looked like pepper in Harry's food. "Sure do. Do you think this'll be enough for one day?" George then looked over at the plate as Hermione shook her head at the two. "Sure is, now, put it back before he stops ogling Hermione!"

Hermione turned to look at George and Fred when they said her name, but all she got was an angelic look from the two. Later, everyone was eating breakfast near the car, around a small fire in the parking lot of the shopping center, at around 9:00 a.m.

Fred and George ate their food rather slowly, every now and then glancing up to see if Harry's hair was turning red or not.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny wasn't very hungry, but not because the food was bad. She would have giggled at Hermione's cute name for the puppy, but she couldn't laugh just like she couldn't eat.

Charlie and Bill had taken it upon themselves to sit on either side of her, weather it was for Draco's protection or her own she couldn't care less.

After eating a small piece of bacon and half a serving of eggs, which was more a chore than it sounded, Ginny decided a walk would clear her mind. She excused herself quitely and took a trail that circled the abandoned mall. As she turned the first corner and was out of sight of everyone she rolled her eyes at the person in front of her who was having trouble not laughing at the irony of their situation.

"Damn," she seethed checking her empty pocket for her wand. "Just when I really needed it too."

"And why's that?" he drawled.

"So I could blow off your head," she said folding her arms angrily.

"Could I get some breakfast first?" he motioned to the camp ground.

"Why are you following me?" rage she'd never known before burnt her brain and it was still a stranger.

"I'm not stalking you, I just went for a walk. And know I'm done and was about to eat."

"Well what's stopping you, Malf -- Draco!?"

"I believe you were going to blow off my head," he said holding out his wand not threatingly but almost giving her the chance. When she didn't take it he pocketd it and looked at her as if it were her turn to speak.

"What are you doing here!?"

He didn't have anything to say so Ginny decided to finish her walk.

~*~

Sree - Remus Lupin

After Ginny returned from her walk it seemed the morning was going to go rather smoothly. The sun was up and everyone was fed and watered. The group piled into the car. Even one Mr. Draco Malfoy.

Harry and Ron had point blank refused to sit near him, as well as Fred and George who hadn't forgotten he was the reason they'd been banned from Quidditch.

Eventually Luna ended up being the one who sat beside Draco. Charlie was driving that day. He hit the invisibility booster and soared into the air.

Unfortunately - the group had been too hopeful in wanting a pleasant, accident free day. Charlie had been flying along when something collided with the hood of the car in mid air - and it had a very human yell.

The car swerved and finally evened out as the yelling in the car slowly calmed down. Charlie was gripping the steering wheel as he looked at his brother, Bill.

"What was that?" He whispered.

Suddenly there was a banging that came from the window that Bill was sitting beside. He turned his head and saw - to his surprise and everyone else's - Remus Lupin.

He yelled something but no one could hear. Bill rolled down the window and looked out as the car flew on. "REMUS!" He hollered in shock. "What are you doing?"

In fact - Remus was flying along side the car on a broom.
"Open the door!" Yelled Remus over the rushing wind. Several things were yelled all at once from various people. The most polite coming from Neville which was, 'You're mental!'

Bill wretched open the door and Remus flew out of the way to avoid being hit a second time. With a little bit of careful manuevering Remus had pulled himself into the car along with his belongings, a broom and a suitcase.

Remus looked rather frazzled - which was just as well. He'd been hit by a flying car.
Charlie looked more worried. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Did I hurt you."

"That's why I asked you to open the door." That's when Harry noticed Remus was clutching his arm to his chest.

"Did you break it?" Asked Harry worridly having draped himself over the back of the chair to see Remus. Harry seemed rather glad to have Remus there now.

Bill peered over at Remus' arm. "Yeah. That's broken. I never took any medical courses. Sorry Remus."

"I do." Said Charlie. He looked terribly sorry for having hit his friend. "Do you think you can wait until we land."

"Yes." Nodded Remus. He looked in the rearview mirror. He couldn't help but notice Lucius Malfoy's son sitting in the back next to Luna Lovegood. He had no clue as how he ended up in a car full of Weasley's and made a note to ask Charlie or Bill.

"Where are you going?" Asked Remus.

"Road trip!" Said Harry excitedly as he leaned forward over the front seats and hung over Remus' seat again. "Where were you going?"

"Flying home." Said Remus shortly as he looked out the window. "I've been too weak to travel lately."

Everyone understood what Remus meant by this.

"Because you'll turn into a werewolf tomorrow night?" Suggested Draco in a rather condescending voice and a distasteful look to boot. Draco earned himself several dirty looks.

"Can we chuck him out?" Muttered Ron.

Remus said nothing as he looked ahead and held his broken arm.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"Can we chuck him out?" Ron muttered.

Harry snorted an approvle and the twins didn't seem to disagree. Charlie desended to the ground, as Remus seemed to go a bit grey in the face.

"I mean would ya miss him?" Ron grumbled as he and everyone else crawled out of the car.

"Shut up," Ginny mumbled.

"What," Ron asked.

"I said," she huffed, "shut up."

"Why are you standing up for him?" he asked in a way that was more of a statement.

"No," she turned away.

"Oh really?"

"YES REALLY NOW ALL OF YOU BE QUIET MR. LUPIN IS HURT!" Ginny was beat red in the face in a very Weasley fashion.

"She's right," said Hermione, "he doesn't look well."

"Of course he don't look well," said Bill, "He was just hit by a car, but he'll be okay...right Charlie?"

~*~

Sree - Remus

Bill watched Ron, Ginny, and Harry bicker for a moment before Hermione had noted that Remus was looking very under the weather.

"But he'll be okay...right Charlie?" Asked Bill hopefully.

"I dunno." Said Charlie uneasily as he looked at the ex-DaDa professor.

Remus had stepped shakily out of the car and looked around at their surroundings.

They appeared to have landed on a lake and the cottage there looked pretty abandoned.

If houses could have brothers and sister's, this cottage's brother would be the Shrieking Shack, he thought grimly.

Remus sat down on a fallen tree and pulled out his wand. Maybe he could just fix his arm hisself and get on his way.

The full moon was that night and he didn't think he'd be particularily welcome there.

Charlie caught up to him just as he was about to attempt to mend his arm and fixed it very nicely for him.

"Sorry about hitting you there, mate." Charlie threw an arm around Remus as he dragged him back to the car.

Most of the kids had gone down to the dock at the lakeshore to goof around.

"I wasn't watching where I was going." Said Remus.

"Well we were also invisible." Laughed Bill as he leaned on the car and crossed his arms. "It's not like you could've known."

"Look. Why don't you stay for a bit." Suggested Charlie as he watched the twins try to push Malfoy into the lake.

Charlie couldn't help but notice that Ginny and Draco had been talking to each other quite a bit. Ginny was now screaming at Fred and George because they'd succeeded in pushing the younger Malfoy in.

"Oh I don't think it's a good idea." Mused Remus.

Just then Harry, Hermione and Ron came back up the hill to the car. Harry looked the happiest Remus had seen him in a while. He was with his closest friends, the Weasley's and now Remus had joined.

"So are you staying!" Exclaimed Harry as he greeted Remus with a big smile.

"Well... I guess I could for a little bit..." Said Remus slowly...

Luna - Rae

Luna could not believe what had just happened, and she believed in a lot of things. They had just ran into their old DADA professor. 'What are the chances of that she thought'.

Right now he was getting his broken arm fixed by Charlie. Luna hoped he would be alright. She thought he was a very lovely man, and she took the same stance on werewolf rights as him.

Luna was down at the dock with most everyone else. Fred and George were trying to push Draco into the lake. Luna didn't think that was very nice. She had to admit sitting next to him wasn't so bad. That might have been because she was the only one talking, but it still wasn't that bad.

Luna couldn't help but notice how how Ginny and Draco interacted. They seemed to have a love/hate reltionship. Soon all of the people down by the docks had started moving back towards the car. It looked like they would be leaving soon.

"Bill," Luna said,"Could we listen to some music in the car this time? I love to sing."

~*~

Sree - Remus

"Why don't we stay here for a bit." Suggested Bill suddenly looking at Charlie. "I mean look at it here. Tons of space - lots to do - and I don't think any Muggles will find us."

Just then everyone came back up and Luna wanted to listen to some music.

Remus reached into the car and started it up. He flicked the radio on to a top 40 station.

"No one can disagree." Smiled Remus. "It's got everything."

"I thought we were leaving." Said Ron who was trying very hard not to snicker at the sopping wet Malfoy. The twins on the other hand were outright laughing at him.

Malfoy looked rather disgusted as he pulled a fish out of his pocket and tossed it in the bushes.

"You brothers have decided that we'll stay here for the night." Said Remus.

"ALL RIGHT!" Exclaimed the twins and Lee.

"Listen. We're going to go explore that old cottage." Yelled Lee as he started to run after the twins who were half way up the hill.

"BE CAREFUL!" Yelled Bill, Charlie, and Remus at the same time. They all looked at each other for a moment and then laughed.

"I had to tell them to be careful everyday in DaDa." Laughed Remus. He shrugged. "Habit now, I suppose."

"We've been telling them our whole lives." Said Charlie.

"Well judging by the friend in Malfoy's pocket." Remus looked into the bushes where he'd thrown the fish. "There are fish in the lake. Perhaps I'll go catch dinner."

Remus crossed his arms as he left the group and headed down the hill.

Down there he found Neville sitting on the dock by himself looking absolutely miserable.

Remus sat down beside him as he conjured up a fishing line and some bait.

"What's wrong, Neville?" Asked Remus.

"Oh. Hullo, Professor." Said Neville dully. He was holding something in his hands.

"You can call me Remus if you'd like." Remus cast his line. "I'm not your Professor anymore."

Neville shrugged. Remus peered at him. "Really - are you alright, Neville?"

"Lee stepped on Trevor yesterday." Nevillle held up his hands sadly. "I thought he was looking better... but now he's dead..."

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville looked at his old Professor hopefully. Do you think there could be a chance that we could do something to bring him back to life?" Neville asked his old Professor.

"No." Remus just shook his head as he caught a fish. "I don't think there's anything that could do that. Why don't we bury Trevor somewhere that you think he'd like to stay?"

Neville started to cry. He had hoped that there was someway he would have been able to save Trevor because he had always had Trevor for as long as he could remember.

~*~

Sevens - Fred/George

Fred, Lee, and George were outside a small house in the cottage, where George was wiping dust off of a window with his sleeve. When all of a sudden Lee spoke up, "I feel really bad about Neville's toad. Did you see how depressed he looked?" George then stopped rubbing the window and looked to Lee, "Yea, I did. Made me feel bad for poking the thing." Fred was almost too far gone to listen to them as he stared at a lawn gnome. "Must be a muggle place, it likes gnomes!" He then turned to Lee and George, "I say we get the old boy a new toad. There were plenty at the lake." Lee then shook his head, "It might not be magical. We could order him one from that catalog you two get some of your supplies from."

George and Fred thought for this a bit then nodded. "We can try. We'll get Ginny to ask him. They're like friends," said George at he looked into the clean spot on the window. "Oooh, a fireplace! Let's go in. Wonder if it's hooked to the floo network." Fred shook his head, "It can't be, they like gnomes!" George then stuck his tongue out at Fred and went to the door, having to kick it in. "At this Lee and Fred stood behind him as they all looked into the room. "Think we can use the fireplace to cook some fish," asked Lee. "Sure can, let's go get Malfoy to catch more?" Asked George with a sneaky grin. The three boys then walked into
the cottage house.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"Whoa!" they said at the same time. The inside of the house was different from the view from the winndow, extremly different. There was a cozy living room with arm chairs for royalty, and blazing purple flames in the fireplace. The dinning room had an oak table big enough to seat at least twenty, and the kithen hung with an aroma of shepard's pie.

"Whoa!" they all said again still standing in the doorway.

"Who do you think lives here?" asked Lee.

"Well, let's have a look see." said Fred as he opened a door to their rigt that opened up into a hall of more doors.

"And behind room number One!!!" exclaimed Lee opening the first door in the long hall.

"What are you doing?" asked George.

"My cousins have cable." he opened the door and inside was a cozy bedroom with all the antites needed for a nights rest.

"This place is awesome."
***
It was almost noon and Ginny was sorry she didn't get more breakfast. She sat at the end of a dock, her knees pulled up to her chin so her stomach didn't growl too loud.

Crookshanks rubbed his head into her side looking for attention, Ginny was more than happy to scratch his ears. She looked to her right for Hermione, she was playing catch with Mudpie, Ron and Harry, they looked happy running aound in the grass.

"You're jealous aren't you?" she asked Crookshanks as he rolled on to his back as she scratched his chin.

She looked back at the car, Luna was sitting in the front seat singing to the radio. Remus was fishing with Neville on a different dock. Angelina, Bill and Charlie were headed toward the grassy area where Ron, Hermione, and Harry were, and she saw Oliver and katie walking around the lake kissing occasionally.

"I guess I'm jealous too..."

Draco's face popped up in her brain. "Agh!" she clutched her head, "NO! I don't like him...I don't!" Crookshanks hissed at Ginny's sudden movements and scamperd off. Draco's such an arrogent jerk! I mean really really...jerky!!! but... She sighed, set her chin back on her knees and excepted her defeat but he's still got a cute face.

Last time she looked Draco was laying out to dry on one of the other docks to her left, he wasn't there any more. She looked for Lee, Fred and George, also gone.

"Oh crap," she said standing up, "they'll kill the little bugger if no one's there to witness it. Where would they go?" she saw the sad little shack, "Yeah, that's it."

She made her way towards the shack, just missing Draco walking out of a cluster of trees with his arms full of wood to make a fire to dry off and warm up.

She saw someone, not Draco, Fred, George, or Lee ahead walking into the cottage, she couldn't see their face but she had a feeling she'd meet them before.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione was laughing as Mudpie scampered about, barking her little yelp at Ron and Harry who were teasing her with a stick. Thankfully Ron and Harry had thought about food when they got her, so she too had had her breakfast with them. But water was a different story.

"Keep an eye on her, I'm going to get her some water."

With that, Hermione got a small silver bowl out of the car.

"...with that old time rock and roll... owe!"

Luna was singing to the old rock song on the radio.

Hermione dug through the back to get the bowl, and as she got out she looked around. Remus was fishing with Neville on a dock. Angelina, Bill and Charlie were now also playing with Ron, Harry, and Mudpie, and Oliver and katie walking around the lake kissing occasionally. Draco was starting a fire, and Ginny... Ginny was heading toward the little cottage. When she looked up at the building she noticed someone was also there... someone not from the group. She nudge Luna who was still singing.

"Do you know where Fred, George and Lee went off to?"

"They went to check out the cottage," Luna said with a dazed look on her face.

"Uh oh! We better get Bill and Charlie" Hermione and Luna quickly left to get back to Bill and Charlie.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"I'm pleased you like my home," said a voice that Fred and George knew.

"Hello, Tonks," said George, glad that he heard her before seeing her. At the moment she looked like she was in her late teens with her long strawberry blond hair pulled up into a ponytail at the top of her head. She was dressed simple and looked as if she had been out for a stroll.

"Wotcher," she said with a raised brow. "You going to tell me how you found my home?"

"Well, you see..." said Fred.

"We saw a fireplace through the window..." added George.

"To cook the fish," Lee tried.

"I enchanted the windows to keep muggles away," she explained.

"The lawn gnomes were a good touch," said Ginny who had just arrived. "Who's this?"

"It's me, Tonks."

~*~

Shadow - Neville

Neville cried for what seemed like forever. By the time he couldn't cry anymore Remus had already caught several fish. He couldn't stand to talk to anyone about Trevor, so he got up.
"I'll see you later Professor Lupin." Neville said as he clutched Trevor to his chest. He wandered up the hill towards the cottage as he walked he saw Hermione and Luna run off. He went and sat in the car. He noticed someone that wasn't in the group walking towards the car. He didnt recognize them so he slouched down to try to hide from them.

~*~

Sree - Remus

Remus didn't mean to appear insensitive, but he felt maybe it was best to let Neville get it out. Remus also made a mental note to speak with Fred, George and Lee about maybe getting Neville a new toad and apologizing.
Remus shook his head. No. He would speak to CHARLIE and BILL. It was hard for Remus not to go into teahcer/parental mode around all the kids he taught for a year.
After a while Neville was just sniffling. He got up. "I'll see you later, Professor Lupin."
"Okay, Neville." Remus turned around. "You know. There are lots of toads here, I'll bet." Suggested Remus kindly. "Would you like me to bring you one, if I see it?"
Neville shrugged. "I'm going to find a box for Trevor." With that he started up to the car.
Remus had done well catching fish and soon he felt he had enough to bring up for dinner. He ran the fish up the hill and dropped them off with Draco who was starting a fire.
Draco sneered at his ex-professor. "Are you staying?" Asked Draco.
"Just for dinner." Said Remus shortly, remembering that he still didn't know why the boy was on a Road Trip with people who disliked him so. Remus was really indifferent to it all. Draco was only a child. He couldn't hate him. But he could dislike his father.
"Good." Was Draco's answer. Remus raised an eyebrow. The kid didn't seem to have a problem disrespecting elders. "I don't want to be devoured." He finished.
Remus clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Well." He said shortly. "I assure you I wouldn't do that and never have." Remuse stomped back down the hill to the lakeshore flat-footed. He was trying not to let Malfoy Jr get the best of him, but he couldn't help it. Did he think he LIKED being a danger to his friends?
Remus decided to concentrate on finding Neville a new toad instead. He walked farther and farther and after a while he wasn't even angry anymore, but rather enjoying himself walking through the wood and looking for a toad.
But soon the enjoyment turned to panic. He was lost. The sun was setting and it was a full moon that night. His broom was at the campsite and he couldn't apparate. Not in the state he was in. He couldn't think of how to warn his friends.
Remus pulled out his wand and sent bright gold sparks into the air in hopes that maybe someone would see them. He didn't know what good it do but he had to try something.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione and Luna got to the group in the clearing, and she explained what she had seen to Bill and Charlie, and they agreed to check it out. They left the clearing and walked back up the hill towards the cabin. Hermione watched and noticed that Remus was walking away from Draco and the camp fire with a nasty scowl on his face.

"Looks like Malfoy couldn't keep his trap shut!" Harry said looking angry. He was about to move when Hermione grabbed his arm.

"Leave him be Harry, he needs to walk it off."

"It's not him I wan't to 'talk to'" he said and then continued to move towards the blonde Slytherin sitting at the camp site.

Hermione and Luna glanced at each other and moved to catch up.

~*~

Rae - Luna

Harry seemed very angry, and had a quick pace while walking towards Draco. Hermione and Luna had to almost run to keep up. Unknown to them, Mudpie was following too.

"I can't believe him," Hermione muttered to herself.

"Who?" Luna asked, but before Hermione could say anything else Harry began speaking to Draco.

"What did you now, Malfoy," Harry said, spitting the last word out.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Draco replied smoothly.

"Yeah you do. Remus just walked up from down here looking very angry. And Remus doesn't get angry often. Only one thing could make him do that..." but Harry was cut short by mad barking from Mudpie.

"What's the matter Mudpie?" Hermione asked softly looking worried.

"Oh great," muttered Draco. "Now we have and insane dog."

"You know, you didn't have to come," Harry said angrily.

"I think," said Luna quietly," that Mudpie is trying to tell us something."

"And a insane girl too," Draco said under his breath.

"Shut-up Malfoy," Harry said getting angrier.

"If you notice, Professor Lupin is missing. I think Mudpie is trying to tell us he is lost."

~*~

ChromeRose - Draco

Draco sat by the fire trying to dry off, after Harry and co, hurried off to try and find the werewolf. He was immensely proud of himself for figuring out the fire all by himself. Not that anyone noticed, he sulked.

Oh well.....nevermind all that. Freaking Potter is so Gryffy....coming up crying just about a few words with Lupin. Always gotta stick his nose in it, that one. And the twins and their bloody sidekick,I can't believe they pushed me in the lake! And I can't believe I let them, couldn't push them away....I mean, how dare they! I am a MALFOY for God's sake! stupid, stupid. Stupid to come with them, stupid for getting STUCK with them, STUPID for....for what?...Well , if we're being perfectly honest here Draco.....

oh for the....now he was actually holding a CONVERSATION with himself. He made a mental note to himself to check for insanity in the Malfoy bloodline. He ran a hand through his hair, mussing it even more.

Yeah I know what I'm being stupid about...Ginny.

Ever since she ran at him with her fists flying, screaming at him, he kinda sorta couldn't keep the blasted girl out of his head. Even the conversations they've been having have been, well, nice....

"What the," he started, there were gold sparks shooting out from the trees. "Wonder what that's all about." Oh well, he was bored.

Draco jumped up and walked over into the woods, wand held out.
***
Professor Lupin started to panic, it was too far to the car, too far to everyone else.

"Please, please let someone see the sparks...someone help me", he prayed.

"Professor?" Lupin whirled around and almost groaned. It was Draco, holding his wand out, looking very apprehensive.

"Was that your signal?"

"Yes Draco, please...."he sighed. "Look, I thought I would be gone by now, the moons almost up and I am going to turn. Please for the sake of your safety and everyone elses here, please help."

Draco bit his lip, what the hell was he supposed to do? He heard a crackling behind him and saw Ginny emerging from the branches, wide eyed looking at him.

"Draco, Professor? What's going on? Draco why are you holding a wand on him?" Ginny asked, looking from one to the other.

"Your good buddy here is about to change and devour us all," Draco sneered. "I told you so."

"but we have to help him, he's....we have to do something-Draco! What do we do? Look at him, his fingernails, oh god!" Ginny moved closer to Draco and grabbed his arm. He looked down at her hands, grasping his arm. He was feeling very strange, almost tingley...ugh. He shook his head.

"Well, what do you propose? We hold him back ourselves? We..."

"Stupify him!" Ginny exclaimed.

"You think?" Draco looked at her, and then at Lupin. Who was, by this time, growing more and more agitated.

"Whatever, just go get the two other Weasleys...the normal two. I'll try and hold him back."

Ginny started away and then stopped. "Thanx Draco," and she tipped up and pecked his cheek. "I know how weird this is for you."

He stood there for a minute and watched her walk away. A growl brought him back to the here and now. "oh right you..."

"Stupify", he concentrated at much of his power out as he could toward the changing man.

"God girl, hurry back"

~*~

Sree - Remus

Transformations were horrible. Remus watched as Ginny and Draco stared at him horrified. While in his search to get back to the campsite he'd wandered a lot closer than he thought.

His last thought was that he must've made a full circle around the lake before the wolf in him took over.
***
The werewolf was hungry and it wanted to tear and kill something. He could smell fear and blood. But before he could do anything something froze he.

The werewolf lay for a while before he could finally move his limbs again. But the blood was long gone. He let out a long howl and started racing through the woods, his sharp sense of smell leading him to food.
***
Draco and Ginny ran to the campsite wide-eyed with fear. Everyone seemed to run into each other. Just as Draco and Ginny got there, they pretty much collided with everyone who'd been looking for Lupin.

"We - we stupified the bloody beast." Panted Draco.

"He's not a beast!" Yelled Harry angrily as he made a charge for Draco, fists clenched and ready.

"No." Muttered Billy grabbing Harry and holding him back as Charlie did a quick head count to make sure all was accounted for. "Not now.

"WAIT!" Yelled Charlie in a panicky voice. "George, Fred and Lee. Where are they?"

"Oi!" Yelled Fred as he ran down the hill with George, Lee and Tonks in tow.

"Tonks." Bill looked like he'd never been so glad to see her. "You have them."

"Everyone up." Tonks pointed at the hill. No one moved. "GO!" Screamed Tonks. That got them moving.

Tonks, Charlie and Bill herded everyone up the hill.

"Where are we going?" Asked Luna.

"To the cabin."

"Tonks. That won't keep a werewolf out." Said Charlie.

"It's my cabin. I don't want muggles just walking in. So I've cast alot of spells on it." Answered Tonks.

Finally the group was safely in the cabin. It seemed things would be okay until Hermione let out a shriek.

"MUDPIE!" She cried as she looked around frantically. "Where is she? Oh my god!" Hermione started to cry. "I've lost my puppy."

~*~

Sera - Ginny

"I've got to find her!"

"Not now," yelled Ginny grabbing Hermione's shirt and tugging her back into the cabin.

A long moaning howl sent shivers up everyones' spines and reverberated in their ears.

"Definetely NOT NOW!!!" Ron said as both Harry and himself helped Ginny shove Hermione along and shut the door.

"We can't leave her!" Herminoe reared back elbowing them.

"Hermione!" Ginny shook her friend by the shoulders. "Have some since! Werewolves don't like puppy meat! They want human meat! Mudpie is a puppy! You are a human!"

Hermione blinked a few times and sat down on the ground abruptly.

"Do you think it'll hold," Bill asked imediatly as a thud that was Remus began to scratch at the door.

"I'm certain we'll be okay, but that cut looks awful, and Luna's ankle needs some attention.

Tonks was looking at Bill's bloody leg and Luna who was grabbing at her ankle.

Neville started to cry softly and Draco made a rude comment which lead to an uproar of young Weasleys and a Mr. Potter.

"That's enough!!" yelled Charlie who looked okay as far as his injerys went. He had small cuts all over his face, his clothes were dirty and his red hair was a mess. He turned to Tonks and whispered "What can we do to distract them" he asked as the Werewolf let out anouther howl, "from that?"

Tonks flicked out her wand and sent a number of plates soaring each one filled with food.

"You all," she pointed to the group of uninjured teenagers, "take your dinner and find a place to eat." She then pointed to the table. "And when your done Fred, George and Lee will show you where you can sit tight for a while." she turned back to Charlie, "Now if you would carry Luna into that room and check her ankle which looks like it just needs some ice, then I'll whip up a potion for you Bill. Did he bit you?" she looked like she was tring to hide her fear.

"Oh, I'm fine, I tripped in a thorn bush" he said as the floor beneath him turned crimson with his blood, "it's just a scratch," and with a dull thump on the ground, he fainted.

~*~

Sevens - George

Fred and George were only half listening, since they were trying to figure out how to get Draco away from their little sister. Every since they'd returned from finding Remus Ginny was staying close to him. Of course, George knew it was because she was scared, but that wasn't the point.

Fred and George were muttering to eachother before Lee came up to them and cocked a brow, "What're you two plotting?" At that, the two looked at eachother, grinned and George very lightly pushed Lee where he stood between Draco and Ginny. When Lee figured out where he was standing he gave Ginny a nervous smile, "Tripped..."

Then everyone heard Hermione shiek, which cause George to wince, since he was standing right next to her.

Harry shook his head, "Hermione, Remus won't hurt Mudpie, she'll be fine, she's not human." Hermione just kept shaking her head, "Poor poor Mudpie!" Harry just gingerly patted the girl's head, "Hermione, listen. He can't hurt her, remember what we were told?" Hermione then looked to Harry, "But...Mudpie."

Then to add to it all, their brother Bill was fainted. Tonks ran off to make the potion, as George put a pillow from a chair under the man's head. "Bloody brilliant, just bloody brilliant," was all he could say as Hermione went into a worse state of panic and tried to get to the door to save her puppy while both Ron and Harry tried to hold her still. "Hermione! He won't hurt the puppy, she's a dog. A canine! If anything he'll probably treat her a bit like he did..." Harry then whispered "Sirius and my father" to Hermione. When she finally calmed down and looked around then back to Harry, "Promise?"

~*~

Draco - ChromeRose

Draco looked at Lee, "Well, yeah you tripped, mind getting out of my face."
He glanced at the twins glaring at him, "Ginny, mind showing me where the tea is kept, I could use a cup."

"um, sure Draco, this way," Ginny grabbed Draco's arm leading him where she thought was the kitchen. Right at the door she gently pushed him in, "I'll be there in a sec."

Spinning around as soon as Draco had left, she whirled on the twins and Lee. "I don't care how much you hate him, and I don't even like him much myself, but...he did help me out there. So leave him alone. Just trust me, she grinned, eyes glinting mischeviously," And with that she left thru the kitchen door.

~*~

Jakia - Harry

An hour later, and Hermione still wasn't calmed down.

She was beginning to drive Ron mad, the constant worry and panic. Harry grinned, knowing they got her a good pet.

It was just then they heard a loud "ROAR", and the door breaking down.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny slipped into the kitchen with Draco. They looked for the tea for a while and still couldn't find anything.

"Err..." Ginny tried to say something to break the uncomfortable silence but kept drawing a blank.

"Err... what?" Draco drawled (how else would he talk?).

"Thanks..." she said leaning up against the counter top, giving up on the tea. When Draco cocked his eye brow Ginny figured she should specify, "For helping me... I mean... with Remus... when he got all... werewolf...ish" she knew she was rambling and she knew he knew she saounded dumb, but even stranger than all her feelings was the feeling of not really caring at the moment.

"Oh, it was nothing," Draco said coming towards her. Ginny thought he might have smiled a little bit and she realized he wasn't going to stop right infront of her she made a mental note to slap herself later for thoughts that she was thinking. As he leaned over her it looked like Draco was going to put his hand aroud her waist, Ginny held her breath and didn't stop him.

As he brushed up against her she couldn't help but think, Merlin! For someone who just fell in a lake, she felt her knees buckle, he smells really good! Ack! Even my internal monologue sounds stupid!! She looked back at Draco.

"I found the tea." Draco said triuphantly, as he grabbed the box of tea off the counter behind Ginny.

Ginny felt like a deflated balloon that had been popped with a needle by a nasty blonde Slytherin, but then she realized he hadn't backed up and they were still too close. Well, too close than Fred and George would have liked anyway.

They were both wanting the other one to make the first move, and not willing to go for it themselves. When it had almost become a compition of nerves and will, neither of them had to choose because a loud "ROAR" shook the whole cabin and Ginny let out yet another one pf her award winning screams.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione screamed and dropping her plate of food. Ron and Harry grabbed her and pushed her behind them at the same time. Charlie and Luna came running out of the back room where Charlie had mended her ankle, though she still walked with a limp. Fred and George, who were still with the pass out Bill, laid their bodies over their brother to protect him. Draco and Ginny came running out of the kitchen, and Neville was clinging to Lee. Remus let out a low growl at the people in the cabin, he was looking around the room, just at that moment Tonks came out of a back room holding a shot gun, cocked it and aimed it at Remus.

“I… I don’t want to have to do this Remus, but …” she couldn’t finish, there were tears in her eyes, but a determined look on her face. This time it was Hermione and Ron who had to hold Harry back.

“NOOO!” he yelled.

“I’m sorry Harry, but we have to think about the greater good. I’ve got silver buck shells, and if he tries to hurt any of you… I’m sorry, I really am.”

Just then Mudpie came running in and slid to a halt against Remus/wolf’s leg. He looked down at the small ball of fur, who was yapping at him. Remus looked from the pup, to the people and back again, and then he took a step forward and let out a howl. Mudpie had bitten him on the ankle. Remus kicked at the pup and sent it flying; she hit the wall, and yelped. Remus stopped, but this time he turned and went back out the door. Charlie quickly ran to the door, looked out and then repaired the door. He then picked up Mudpie from the floor and scratched behind her ears.

“That was close. Hermione you got one hell of a smart dog” he said as he handed her her pup.

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville let go of Lee after Remus had left. He was still fightened, however, and wanted to leave.

"He won't come back will he? He asked earnestly, "I mean while he's still a werewolf."

"I don't know." Someone replied. Neville wasn't too sure who it was. Neville looked around. Tonks was still holding the gun that apparently had silver bullets in it. Neville didn't know too much about guns, but thought that it could have scared Remus away if Mudpie hadn't bitten him on the ankle.

"I'm going to the kitchen." Neville said and escaped into the kitchen before anyone could say anything else. Neville was having a very bad day.

~*~

Sree - Remus

He started to circle the house, limping slightly on his paw that'd been hurt. Bitten by another. The blood was inside and he wanted it.
He came back to the door and started pawing and scratching at it again. He threw himself against it but it wouldn't move this time. He gave up and started to circle again, perhaps there was another entrance.

He found something. Two large double doors. With a growl he attacked the doors and left them in splinters. But these doors went down. Down somewhere dark where even a werewolf had a hard time seeing things clearly.

Perhaps there was blood in here.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny sat slouched up against the wall with Fred and George back to guarding her. If she weren't so unattched at the moment she might have told them to bugger off and let her fend for herself, but that wasn't the case. She stared around the room uncertain of what to make of their situation, Ginny watched everyone's movement and expressions. The look on everyone's face just made her more frightend. She couldn't take the communal horror anymore.

"How many bedrooms do you have?" asked Draco.

Tonks had finnaly lowerd her gun and whiped away her tears. "As many as we need," she croaked. "The door right there, it opens up into a hall with however many rooms we need."

"Well, it's twelve and killed or not I'm getting some sleep," he said making Neville flinch at the mention of death.

It was either Fred or George that made a rude hand gesture at Draco but, it was Ginny who caught them in the side with her elbow.

"Leave him alone," she said taking a small sadisfaction in her brother's pain.

"Why do you keep defending him?"

Ginny stood up, "I don't know..." she said faintly and headed towards the door of rooms not sure what she was going to do next. Not really sure what was going to happen next either.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione gave Mudpie a gentle hug, then looked over her pup for any damage. She whined when Hermione touched her backside, but other wise she was fine.

"You're such a brave girl. Yes you are."

"She's definetly a Gryffindor!" Ron said coming over and scratching her behind the ears.

Tonks and Charlie had gone to help revive Bill, and find out what is wrong with him. Fred and George looking torn between helping Bill, and following Ginny, and were the most serious Hermione has ever seen them. Luna was sitting in one of the chairs by the fireplace. Neville sat across from her. Draco and Ginny just left to find sleeping quarters with Lee, while Harry watched out the window for Remus.

This was going to be a stressfull night.

~*~

Sree - Remus

It took him a while but soon he realized the blood was above him.

The werewolf looked for something to climb up. He climbed up boxes and old tables and started to paw at the ceiling and growl.

He wanted in. He threw himself on the ceiling in hopes of getting through.
***
Neville jumped suddenly as something thumped from below and started to growl. He pulled his feet off the ground.

"It's below us." Said Luna mildly.

"Uh... GUYS..." Called out Neville shakily.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione jumped, she held Mudpie tighter, and she felt Ron's arm go around her shoulder.

"Isn't there something we could do? Trap him somehow? Force feed him wolfsbane or something." Hermione asked trying to keep her cool. She wasn't this normally scared, so she planned on doing anything she needed to do. She just hoped someone else could come up with a plan, as she was running out of ideas.

~*~

ChromeRose - Draco

Draco walked down the hallway to the batheroom. He stepped inside and closed the door. Sighing heavily he turned on the faucet and splashed the cold water onto his face. He stood there for a minute and looked at himself at the mirror. He sighed again, he was sooo stressed out....first Ginny, then the werewolf thing, then Ginny again.

Gods, she kissed him, and did that kiss feel good. Just a peck sure but still. In the back of his mind he knew he really should be more concerned with the werewolf currently trying to filet them, but for some reason he just kept thinking about that little red headed girl, full of freckles, Weasley freckles.

"Argh!", he spun around, throwing the towel against the wall. "Bugger this, I'm going to sleep...save me from having to consort with a house of Gryffindors and such."

He opened the door and went into the hall, turning toward the first door he came to. Walking inside the dark room, he noticed a soft crying coming from within.

"Um, someone in here?" he asked.

"Draco?"

Ginny?"

Smirking slightly, he closed the door. "Lumos," he muttered and a weak light illuminated the small room. Ginny sat curled up on the bed, tear tracks faintly visible on her cheeks.

He crossed the room and sat on the bed, sitting as far away as was possible. "Where are your brothers?"

Ginny shrugged, not answering.

"Do you want me to comfort you?" he asked leaning in close. She could barely see his face in the dark, but could hear the smirk as he spoke.

"You know Draco.....what I want is...." and she leaned in closer. "I want..." and she pushed at him hard, knocking him to the floor, "is for you to grow up...act like a man for once in your pathetic little life!"

Ginny crossed to the door and stopped, turned around and opened her mouth, abruptly closing it, walked out into the hallyway and slammed the door.

"She's fiesty", Draco muttered with a faint smile.

Sera - Ginny

Ginny took a few deep breathes and once she had calmed herself she though about going to a different room and getting some rest, even if she couldn't sleep. The werewolf was scary, but Draco was terrifing...with all the thrills. She always felt like she was doing something bad when he got too close. Why did I stop him? she asked herself because getting caught snogging Draco in a bedroom wasn't worth it she folded her arms well... she smirked on the inside NO! NOT WORTH IT!!! she shoke her head trying to forget her thoughts.

"Ah... GUYS!"

Ginny heard from the door as the floor shoke a bit. A loud ear splitting howl came from the direction of the living room.

"Oh God!" Ginny yelled.

Draco hurtle out of his room.

"What's going on!?"

"REMUS IS IN THERE!" she ran to the door that lead to the living room only to be plucked off the door knob off by Draco.

"No! If he's in there you can't go in!"

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?" she struggled with his arms. She finally got the door open and came into the room.

"Where is he!?" she asked them all.

"Under the floor," Luna said.

"Oh no!"

Remus was ripping at the floorboards but they didn't see anything...yet.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Tonks grabbed up her shot gun again as Fred, George, and Charlie lifted Bill and took him past Ginny and Draco into the hall and down to the end in the last room that was next to Tonks’. Both Fred and George gave Draco dirty look, but as their hands were full, that’s all they could do. Hermione held on to Mudpie tighter, while Ron wrapped his arms around her for protection.

The floor began to shake, and creak and a loud howl shook the walls. It was now past midnight and everyone was on edge.

“What are we going to do?” Katie asked who was wrapped up in Oliver’s arms. They were standing over by the kitchen door, trying to find a place to hide.

“Isn’t there anyway to stun him or something?” Oliver asked.

“Stun… Stun.. That’s it! Remember fourth year, the Tri-Wizard tournament?” Hermione said with her face lighting up with an idea.

“What you want me to zoom around him and make him dizzy?” Harry asked bewildered as another crash racked the floor.

“No, remember the second task when Ron and I were taken to the merpeople?”

“You want to drown him?” Ron asked.

“NO, would you just listen; we can put the bewitching sleep spell on him, like the one Ron and I were under to be under water. He’ll sleep till morning, and well be safe.” Hermione was rather proud of herself.

“Great idea, Hermione, I’ll...”

“Oh no you won’t” Tonks interjected. “I’m the experienced Auror, I’ll do it. Now I want all of you to go find a room for the night.”

With that she got out her wand, and with shot gun still in hand she left the house. No one moved towards the rooms, but to the windows instead. They watched as she carefully went down into the basement. There was a loud growl, the sound of magic, and a then a thud. Then silence. After a few minutes Tonks was back in the house.

“Well that went better then expected,” she said as she banished her gun to a closet. “Now to check on Bill,” she said glancing down at the puddle of blood on the floor.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

After all the comotion had settled down a few people went out to the car and brought back everyone's bags.

Ginny had never seen a werewolf up close before, and she really didn't want to. She felt like a coward when she averted her eyes, but still couldn't bring herself to look at him. She knew that Remus was probably one of the nicest guys there was, a real true gentalman and it was an awful shame that people were scared of him and hated him because of an accident.

"Here, Ginny," said Lee who was giving her a bag of her clothes.

"Thanks," she said tumbling out of her thoughts, and picked out a random bedroom.

She looked around the room half-way expecting Draco to pop out. Crookshanks twisted himself around her ankle, then wandered up to the foot of the bed, curling up into a ball and let out a tiny cat-yawn.

"We got an owl from Percy at St. Mungos!" Ginny heard Fred yell from the hall way.

"What's it say?" asked Charlie, passing by Ginny's door.

"Just wants to let us know that they're ready to be picked up."

"Write to him saying I'm taking Bill down there tonight and I'll meet him there."

"Is Bill really that bad?" asked Ginny, scared.

"No, he'll be fine, Ginny, get some sleep."

"When will you be back?" asked George.

"Around lunch time tomarrow. Tonks is in charge, and you two..." Charlie sighed looking at his younger brothers, "WILL behave."

"Just let us have twenty minutes with the little bugger, we have this new product that--"

Ginny shut the door rolling her eyes, and changed into her pajamas. When she walked over to her bed, she saw the cat making a face at her.

"Don't look at me like that," she said giving him a scratch behind his ears.

Crookshanks nudged his nose into her hand and let out a meow.

Ginny crawled under the blankets hidding her satisified expression and looked at Crookshanks, "It was only a small kiss." She tugged the lamp string off and pretended to sleep until she finally drifted off.

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville went out to get his bags when everyone else did. He tried not to look at the werewolf that was lying there sleeping. Suddenly the werewolf snored and he jumped. He grabbed his bags quickly and ran inside.

He went to a room and laid there for a while. Since he had joined this road trip it seemed like he had nothing but bad luck. Trevor had died, and they had been attacked by a werewolf. Well, the werewolf hadn't really attacked them, just came after them. Neville lay in his bead thinking until he finally drifted off to sleep.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny woke up early to take a shower. After she finished she got dressed and went to the dining room for breakfast. Tonks was sitting in a chair next to Remus, no longer in werewolf form, and talking with him over a cup of coffee.

She didn't know what to say to him, and he didn't seem to know what to do either. Ginny took a peice of toast and a glass of juice and smiled at her old Professor. His expression was full of sorry, but he smiled back sincerly.

It was still really early, the sun was just rising, so she figured a walk by the lake would be nice.

~*~

Rae - Luna

Luna lay awake in her bed. She was thinking about the previous events of the nights before. She couldn't decide if that or the Department of Mysteries was scarier.

Luna looked up at the clock on the wall. It was 7:00, time to get up. Luna quietly stood up and got dressed. She decided to go sit by the fire. She wasn't very hungary, but she was cold.

By the fire place Luna found the Daily Prophet. She quietly began to read, but what caught her attention was a minor artical on page seven. Cornelius Fudge Not Running for Minster of Magic She wondered why, this news was not on the front page.

~*~

Hermione - Diamond

Hermione got up to the sound of a shower running. She hadn't slept well, and Mudpie wanting to go out side at 3 in the morning didn't help either. She got up, and stretched, she figured as long as she awake, she might as well go see how Remus. But first a shower sounded like a good idea. She noticed a door off her bedroom, and went over to it, opening it just a bit, what greeted her was a face full of steam, and the sound of Ginny humming. Quietly she closed the door, and waited, after the water stopped, she waited another 10 minuets until she heard the door open and close, and then she took over the bathroom for herself.

After her shower, she got dressed, and with Mudpie at her heels, she came out to the main part of the cabin. Luna was sitting near the fire, and Tonks and Remus were at the table, talking and drinking coffee.

"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked.

"Tired. I'm really sorry about the scare last night." Remus said with a look of pure sorrow on his face.

"It's all right Remus..."

"No it's not, I'm leaving today to go back home,"

"Remus you can't, please stay with us," Hermione tried to argue. "I know how to make Wolfsbane.."

"You do?" came both Tonks and Remus's reply.

"I don't know.."

"Please!" Hermione argued. "I've got my potions book in my bag..."

"You carry your school books around with you on Holidays?" Tonks asked disbelieving. Remus just smiled and shook his head, this news didn't surprise him any.

"Always, you never know when you might need, them, oh and it really helps in studing, there's hardley any time at school."

Hermione talked about the potion with Tonks and Remus, while Mudpie crunched on some puppy food.

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville woke up. He lay in bed for a while thinking about Trevor. He finally decided to get up and he went to the bathroom. No one was in there so he took a shower he got dressed and went into the main part of the cabin where Remus, Tonks and Hermione was sitting at a table, and Luna was reading a newspaper by the fire.

He went and sat in the chair nex to Luna's. She was reading the Daily Prophet.

"Is anything interesting going on?" Neville asked Luna. But before Luna could answer there was a loud knock on the door that made Neville jump.

"Now who could that be?" Tonks asked rhetorically. She went to the door and opened it. There stood Alastor Moody on the other side of the door.

"Moody? What do you want?" Tonks asked Moody.

"Fudge isn't running for Minister of magic." Luna replied to Neville's earlier question.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny sat on the dock until she heard the Anglia pull out infront of Tonk's cabin.

She ran to see Bill, who looked okay but looked a bit gray still. She hugged her brother and he gave her a pat on the back.

"Go inside Ginny." he said in a serious under tone.

She looked around and saw her two other brothers, Penelope, and surprisingly, Moody.

He was the first at the door and Tonks answerd, "Moody? What do you want?"

Moody gave Tonks a look and she understood. "Charlie, Bill, Percy, and Penelope picked me up on the way over," the old man growled in his normal tone, "we have to talk," He spotted Ginny, Neville, and Luna, "alone."

"About what?" she asked quietly as Remus joined the group.

He lowered his gruff voice "Fudge."

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Tonks looked around the group of chilren around her. "Why don't we all go to the back room?"

Before Ginny knew it she Neville, Hermione, and Luna were filed into the back room. It didn't work for Fred, George, Oliver, Katie, and Lee though, they were all determined to join the meeting. Fred even dragged Angelina inside. She looked dead on her feet. The newly legal wizards weren't the only ones determined to hear the meeting, so was everyone closed off in the bedroom section.

"Come on!" Tonks said percitently tugging on the back of both Harry and Ron's shirt tales.

"So much for your 'she can't stop the both of us' idea," Ron murmured to Harry just as she shut the door and locked it.

"I can't believe it! Tonks, the cool one!!!" Ginny yelled as everyone stomped on top of everyone else to get a better spot up against the door.

After Tonks got all of them in a closed quarter, muffled sounds of the meeting were passing through the door.

"SHUT UP!!!" hissed Harry.

Ron stood up quickly, "BUGGER! They charmed the door again!!! We won't be able to hear anything!"

~*~

Tonks - Sandry

"Moody? What do you want?"

Standing outside her door were Charlie, Bill, Percy, and Penelope. As she stepped outside, Moody told the juvies to go inside, and Remus came out.

"Fudge isn't running again for Minister."

"So? What does that have to do with anything?"

"It means its up for grabs! You're needed where you are, I couldn't possibly run, nobody trusts me because they think I am insane, and nobody else here is well enough known or respected to take hold! Dumbledore won't leave the school, you know that! And you also know that there are plenty of Death Eaters undiscovered that could take it, and then where would we be? It would be just like have Voldemort in control!! It would be worse than it was 15 years ago because nobody would be watched, or thrown in Azkaban, because the Minister would be pardoning people or alibiing for them left and right! And then, if we had a case of eyewitnesses, he'd say the witness was Confunded or lying or kill them privately!! Now do you see what it has to do with anything, Tonks?!" said Moody angrily, ignoring the ones that flinched at his name.

Tonks and Penelope had paled noticably as Moody lectured them.
She nodded.

"Percy, why aren't you running? If I remember right, you were Head Boy, and very good at it too. You followed the rules set down for you as head boy as the creators of the system would have wanted you to." Remus said.
"You were also Mr. Crouch's personal assistant, and took up his place in the office when he was absent, didn't you? Considering this, I think you should run. I don't want to single you out, since your brothers are as able to, but they aren't as well known," Tonks explained. Percy's ears turned red.

"Yeah, Perce!"
"C'mon, you'd be great!"
"We're all behind you!"

"If need be, I could take your place once in a while," offered Tonks, who immediately turned into Percy, and imitated his generally pompous manner, which elicited smiles from almost everyone and a twitch of Moody's mouth.

"I need time to think about it."

"Whats to think about, boy!? The fate of the wizarding world could be in your hands!!" bellowed Moody.

"That's exactly why he needs time to think about it!" Penelope surprised everyone by chewing Moody out. " This wasn't his idea! Do you ever think of the feelings of the person that bears or could possibly bear the our fate before you criticize their decisions, Moody? Or do you just think of yourself, the trials you've suffered and seen? I for one dont see you trying to take up the post of Minister, even if you arent trusted, you are respected by many people, Moody! Otherwise why would they have risked their jobs and respectability to get you out of difficult circumstances? You dont need to be so matter-of-fact and cold."

"She's right, Moody. Now hold your tongue while I go renew my Silence, Sound Blocking, and Locking Charms on the hall door and rooms in its vicinity. They won't last forever," Tonks told him in a subtly mild rebuke. "As for you Percy, I do agree with what is being discussed. I can't make you take this, but we are all in accordance that you should join the fight for the Minister's role, and if Dumbledore were-"

Pop.

"Here? Yes, what have I missed out on? My clock seems to be off."

"As I was saying, Dumbledore, am I correct in saying that you would support Percy if he ran for Minister? Everyone supports it, but Percy is still uncharacteristically shy," Tonks explained.

"Yes, very brilliant. Who came up with the idea? Percy would be a very good Minister, assuming he follows the truth." Dumbledore winked, knowing that Percy would do well, it just depended on whether or not his betters were misled or not.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

It was obvious that no one was going anywhere or hearing anything, so Ginny decided that finding something better to do would be a good idea.

She started off to Hermione's bedroom to maybe borrow her romance novle back, but she saw Draco go into his room and close the door.

She thought for a moment, No, Ginny. she walked towards his door, Stop it, Ginny! she rested her hand on the brass door knob, smiling to herself, GINNY, NO!!! her conscience roared into her ears, but she couldn't hear it as she pushed it open. Well at least this time it better be a decent kiss, her brain gave up on her Ginny left her mind out in the hall for... afterwords.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione watched as Ginny walked towards the hall way, figuring she was going back to her room, but when she turned, and went to Draco’s room instead, she was very surprised. Hmmm I wonder what’s up with them she wondered, but she didn’t get to think about it long, as Mudpie looked like she needed to go outside!

~*~

Jakia - Harry

Harry was mad.

No, mad didn't quite fit it. He'd think of the politically correct term later.

How dare they, after all he's been though, after all he's done for them, shove him out of the meeting? He was the effing boy who lived! The Chosen One! The fate of the wizarding world rested on his shoulders! How could they not see that?

"Oh dear...Mudpie needs to go outside." Hermione said, picking up her puppy easily.

"I'll come with you. I need to let off some steam anyway..." Harry said, walking with her.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione and Harry went out side and down the hill to the car. Hermione let Mudpie go and she ran over and started sniffing the ground. Hermione looked over at Harry, and noticed he was brooding.

“What’s wrong Harry?”

“You’d think that since I’m the one who’s going to have to save their skin from Voldemort, they’d let me in on what the Hell is going on,” he said.

“You could always demand they tell you?” she offered.

“Yeah, you’re right!” he said and stormed off towards the house.

“Uh oh”

~*~

Chromerose - Draco

Draco was sitting on his bed reading a book he found lying on the floor. He had been avoiding company since last night. He snuck out for a shower and a bite a toast this morning and snuck right back into the room. He was getting so tired of being in close quarters with all this drama. He liked drama only when it was directed toward him and he was controlling it. Now Harry and co. were so hung up over that damn werewolf that he could walk out bloody naked and no one would even notice. Well, maybe save for one cute little freckled Ginny.

"I bet she'd notice," he grinned.

Just then the door opened slowly, he turned and the grin got a little wider.

Well, well, speak of the devil.

"Draco."

"Ginny."

Ginny stepped toward the bed and closed the door behind her. "Look Malfoy, I don't know wha-" Ginny's eyes widened as Draco mouth came crashing down on hers.

~*~

Az - Charlie

"I think it was Remus' idea," Charlie spoke up. Well, it was true, it was Remus' idea.

Charlie knew Percy would make the right choice. It was only on a rare occasion when he did something stupid, and that usually had to do with his pride more than anything else. He waited patiently while the discussion went on.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny stepped in slowly and closed the door behind her. She vaguely remebered saying his name but when he said 'Ginny' and it was all she heard.

Ginny walked towards him and went to say something else then felt her legs lock up and all the sudden he was holding her.

There was no tenderness in his kiss, but still she could tell he was experianced. His hands raced along her body roughly and she wasn't even thinking.

Once she realised her lack of oxygen Ginny pulled back for air, "This is crazy, Malfoy," she said catching her breath as he started on her neck. She grined and ran her fingers through his hair, always wanting to mess up those perfect blonde locks.

He caressed her jawline, "I thought I told you it's Draco."

She smiled widly at him, "Draco," she whisperd into his ear and kissed him back as she felt the boy she once hated back her against the wall.

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville watched Ginny, Hermione, and Harry leave. He wondered why they had all been shoved out of the room that Tonks and Moody were in. He knew that they were talking but he felt that it was rude of them to shove them out like that. He turned to Luna.

"Luna, didn't you say Fudge wasn't running for Minster of Magic again? Did the article say anything else?" Neville asked Luna. Luna looked thoughtful for a moment, but before she could say anything there were three loud thumps coming from somewhere else. It sounded like the noise was all around them.

~*~

Sree - Remus

Remus crossed his arms as he stood back and listened to the conversation go back and forth. He really wasn't up to getting into a debate of any sorts.

Thankfully no one rounded on him when Charlie mentioned Percy running being his idea. Truthfully, Remus felt a little envious of Percy. He knew Percy would make an excellent minister if ever given the chance, but what about hisself. Wouldn't Remus be good at that? He was a prefect, he was intelligent. But no on would listen to a werewolf. They'd rather have Death Eaters in the position than a werewolf.

Remus sighed and shook his head as if trying to shake the negative thoughts out. It never got anyone anywhere. He was just tired, worn out, and mostly embaressed.

He couldn't look at anyone. He'd seen what he'd done to the doors and the floor. And he saw how the younger ones were avoiding his eyes. Tonks had been more than nice to him. She always was. But everyone was mostly just tense about it.

Remus had played with the idea of letting Hermione making some Wolfsbane Potion so he could stay. If he didn't stay with the group he'd just go back home and be alone while he looked for work.

But he really felt that it would be best to ask if they'd let him off at his house and leave it at that. Remus lived on a farm he had inherited upon his Grandfather's passing. It was ideal as there was scarcely anyone around he could hurt.

"I'm going to go start packing things up." Whispered Remus quietly to Charlie. Charlie nodded and Remus apparated out to the car. He bumped right into Harry who seemed to be getting ready to storm back up to the cabin.

"Whoa." Laughed Remus as Harry barrelled into him. "Where are you going?"

"I demand to know what's going on up there." Demanded Harry red-faced and angry.

Remus looked at him for a moment. "It's nothing that we want all of you younger ones to worry about."

"I deserve to know." Said Harry angrily. Remus looked at Hermione who was clutching Mudpie. She gave an apologetic look and Remus looked back at Harry.

"I save everyone's back around here. I have everything resting on my shoulders and you STILL do this." Harry glared at him. "It's just like being stuck in Grimmauld Place again..."

The reminder of Sirius didn't seem to go over too well for either male. Remus got tightlipped and just started to pack up the car and Harry stalked off.

Hermione just stood there holding Mudpie. Things just weren't going well.

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"Harry...Harry, wait up!" Hermione called out, chasing him. She had placed Mudpie on the ground, watching him out of the corner of her eye. Finally, Harry stopped.

"Go away, 'Mione."
"No. I'm not going away. Neither is anyone else." Hermione said, crossing her arms tightly. Harry turned and gave her a sharp look before sitting down on the ground. Hermione followed suit.

It was quiet for a good ten minutes. Mudpie had found something that had caught his attention, and was chasing after it. Harry and Hermione, however, had remained still and silent, as though waiting for the other to say something. When Hermione didn't, Harry did.

"Why?"
"Why what, Harry?"
"Why everything. Why did Sirius have to die? Why did my parents? Why did Voldemort have to choose me?!" He said, placing his arms around his knees tightly. He watched Hermione's eyes widen. He had told them, (them being Hermione and Ron) of the prophesy, but he had never spoke of it in great length. It was only natural that Hermione was a little surprised.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Hermione asked, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah...For once, I do."

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny opened the door slowly, not wanting anyone to question her where abouts. The hall was basicly empty, she was almost concerned at the quietness that was hovering around them, but after growing up in the Burrow, silence was always a scarce and odd thing. She walked out quitely into the hall.

"What are you doing?" she hissed at Draco.

"Following you," he said snakeing his arm around her waist.

"You can't do that!" she whisperd puching it off of her and looking around.

"Why not? You don't want them to know?"

She hesitated. "Well...not right now."

"Later?"

"No, that would be too soon, but I really do like you."

"Then why are we whispering?"

She looked around quickly as he raised his voice, "I'm sorry, Draco, but at least you could stop smiling like that."

"I don't know what you're talking about." he said as he streched his face into an even bigger chessy grin that was sure to show off every single one of his teeth.

"You are Draco. You don't grin...you smirk."

He leaned back scouling, then folded his arms, and cocked an eyebrow. "Like that?"

"Yes. Know I'm going to see where everyone ran off to, and you," she punched him lightly in his chest, "are gonna stay out of trouble!"

~*~

Remus was just feeling an immense amount of guilt. Endagering his friends. Fighting with Harry.

Well it wasn't REALLY a fight. That's what Remus kept telling himself. And he wasn't really mad at Harry.

Remus just hated to think about Sirius being gone. Which Remus chastised himself everyday for. He'd gotten used to Sirius being gone a long time ago. He could do it again, right?

Remus slowly packed up the car. He glanced over at Hermione and Harry sitting on a hill and talking as they watched Mudpie play with his tail.

Remus opened the trunk and got out his broom and suitcase. He wasn't feeling quite up to apparting long distances just yet.

He scribbled a short note to Charlie, Bill, Tonks, and Moody and left it on the dashboard.

Dear Bill, Tonks, Charlie, and Moody,

I'm sorry to leave on such short notice. I'd like to stay longer but this month is one of the few months that has two full moons. I don't want another episode like last. I'm going home to my farm if you're looking to contact me.

-Remus


Remus folded the note and slipped it under the windshield. He turned and walked into the forest with his old broom.

Actually it was James' broom. He'd left it at Remus' house by accident the day before he and Lily died. Remus shook the thoughts out of his head again and hummed a song he liked and took off.

He never even noticed that the note had been blown off the windshield in the breeze and was now somewhere in the bushes.

~*~

Sevens - George/Fred

George, Fred, and Lee all looked on with astonishment as they said Percy should be Minister. When everything got quiet, George snickered and whispered to Lee and Fred, "Good thing there's nothing higher than minister. He'd sell our souls for the position." Fred gave George a bit of a look as Lee joined George, who soon stopped, in snickering.

The boys then got bored and went outside and to the car. When they found a note George just looked flabberghasted about the news. He then waved the note to Fred and Lee. Fred snatched the note from George and gave an equally shocked look. Soon Lee just looked from one of the twins to the other and said, "Guys, what's the letter about?" When they explained it to Lee they all three decided to go inside and tell the others.

Soon Lee, Fred, and George we all headed to the cabin to tell everyone that Remus was leaving, on the way they passed Harry, since they were running. And soon the three of them burst into the broken door of the cabin and stopped to catch their breath while telling everyone in an excited voice what the letter said. Problem was, they were all talking at once and were exactly two seconds behind eachother.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny walked out of the hall and into a mass of confusion. Fred, George, and Lee were having a great deal of trouble explining why they were out of breath and still talking a mile a minute.

Neville looked confussed, "Slow down."

Lee bent over, putting his hands on his knees and caught his breath while Fred and George did their twin thing.

"It's Remus," George started to say as her brushed of a twig from his robes.

"We found this," said Fred holding a note up to Bill, Tonks, Charlie, and Moody, "in some bushes."

"It's addressed to the four of you," George continued.

"What are you talking about?" asked Luna as the grown-ups read together.

"Yeah," said a shooken-up Harry now standing in the door way with Hermione.

"Remus is gone?" Bill questioned, looking up from the letter.

Ginny, still concerned about her professor, was a little bit relieved no one was bugging her. She didn't know if she could lie to them, not now anyway. Draco was peaking out of the hall acting like he wanted see what was up, but really he gave Ginny a quick wink just to make her worry.

She felt really guilty about everything going to poo while she was off snogging a bad boy that would give her mum gray hairs. She walked toward the door thinking maybe some air would clear my mind or if that didn't work I can always drownd myself in the bloody lake!

She shook her mane of messy Weasley red-ness and heard a bit of conversation on her way out.

"Remus left!?" Harry said concerned. He looked at Hermione quickly. "I made him leave," he grabbed hold of the door-post, "I know it. I always seem to mess these sort of things up."

~*~

Jakia - Harry

"Remus left!?" Harry said concerned. He looked at Hermione quickly. "I made him leave," he grabbed hold of the door-post, "I know it. I always seem to mess these sort of things up." He said, turning away.

Everyone watched with mild interest as he turned to leave, and Hermione followed him.

Back outside Harry raced out to the car.

"Just where do you think your going?" Hermione said, frowning as Harry opened up the back of the car. He seemed to be looking for something.

"I'm going to find Remus." He said, pulling his Firebolt out. "To appologize, at the very least."

"Not alone you aren't!" Hermione shreiked.

"Hermione, I don't need a f---ing guard just to ride my broomstick..."

"No, but you do need a friend." She said, pulling out Ron's broom.
Harry's jaw dropped as Hermione mounted the broom.

~*~

Tonks - Sandry

For a while, Tonks just stood dumbfounded, staring at the letter.

He left, he really left.......

She couldn't believe it. She knew why he left, understood why, but she couldn't believe it. She also wondered, dismayed, if werewolves remembered what they saw, did, and felt while they were transformed.................

~*~

ChromeRose - Draco

Draco was creeping aroung in the hallway. He was bored, again. This house had absolutely nothing of interest to him in it, well...he snickered, maybe that's not quite true. But she escaped outside for the time being, so he'd have to make his own fun.

He peeked around the corner again, everyone was milling about and seemed a bit agitated.

'These people never stop whining and complaining about things. Try being a Death Eater's son, there's some stress, but oh no, lets worry over the werewolf's feelings, the tall weasley's arm, the mudblood's puppy...'

Rolling his eyes, he ventured farther into the house. Draco didn't want to talk to anyone except Ginny, truth be told he hated everyone in the whole damn house. Even her a little bit, turning toward the kitchen he grabbed a piece of toast of the counter and squeezed out the back door, squinting in the bright morning sunlight. He barely made out a flash of red disappear into the wood, and before he even could think of exactly WHY he was going, he followed.

He walked through the trees, faster and faster...not watching where he was going just keeping his eyes peeled for a glimpse of his little red head.

"oh!" Draco tripped over something and fell facedown in the dirt, barely managing to miss squishing Hermoine's puppy. "Where the hell did you come from?"

He glared at the puppy as it jumped on him and started to lick his face. He tried pushing it off and winced. He seemed to have sprained his wrist when he fell. A wooshing sound above him caught his attention, he looked up and watched as Harry and Hermoine flew off on their broomsticks. He looked back down at the puppy, who by this time had fallen asleep on his lap.

"Oi, what do we have here? Seems Mudpie had found a friend, a little muddy Malfoy." Draco groaned.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione brought her broom down and scooped Mudpie in her arms before hoovering again in the air. With out a word, she grabbed Harry's hand and flew with him back into the woods, to see if they could find Remus. After a while she spoke up again.

"Perhaps we should go back. I don't want to get lost out here, and Mudpie is getting restless, making it difficult to fly."

"But we have to find him?" Harry protested.

"Well we're not going to find him wondering around aimlessly in the woods. He's probably halfway home by now"

"Then we'll go back and tell the others that we're going to Remus's house!"

With that he turned sharply and sped towards the cabin. Hermione was following but not as quickly as she still had a puppy in her arms!

~*~

Az - Charlie

Charlie was surprised. He couldn't believe that Remus had just left. While everyone was panicking over it, he decided to go get some fresh air. Too much had happened in the past 24 hours, and he needed to clear his head.

He slipped out the front door, and began walking aimlessly in the general direction of the woods. He was so concentrated in his own thoughts that he didn't notice Harry and Hermione flying around. Nor did he notice that he was pretty far into the woods. Not until he figured he should be turning back.

He turned around, and all around him were trees.

"Oh, great," he thought. "you've gotten yourself lost, Charles."

Just then, he saw some movement. Being the Gryffindor he'd always been, he decided to find out what it was.

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville was both glad and sad that Remus had left. He was a bit confused about everything going on, so he left the others and walked around a bit. He went into the woods, and immediately got lost. He was wondering around lost in the woods, confused about Fudge, Remus, and the Ministry. He was making a bit of noise, so when he heard something even louder coming towards him, he was a bit afraid. He started away from the noise, but it kept coming closer.

"Neville!" Charlie said.

"Charlie! You scared me!" Neville said. Neville smiled slightly. "Do you know the way back to the house?"

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione was arguing with Ron about what to do about Remus.

"Look the man wants to go home and rest, I say let him."

"But he thinks we're all mad at him or perhaps even hate him." Hermione protested.

"No he doesn't, why would he think that?" Ron asked.

They were getting no where with this argument, so she hurmped, grabbed Mudpie and went to the house. She didn't get very far when she heard arguing from the 'adults'. So she turned around and left for the clearing. Once there she turned a branch into a purple dog collar, and a branch of willow she turned it into a lease. She walked around until she heard someone calling her.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Ginny walked over to the lake's dock and sat at the edge with her knees pulled up to her chin.

You don't even know why he's here, you fool! she thought to herself.

She didn't think she could take bottling up her emotions like this. And hiding things from her friends had never paided off before. The tiniest thought off Riddle made her want to vomit. She jumped as a rustling noise came from the woods.

"Who's there?" she asked into the darkness.

~*~

Tonks - Sandry

Tonks sat in her "special room", a room with too many curses and charms against break-in to count(for normal people, anyways). "I'm glad I put these in a chain reaction," she thought,"otherwise I'd be spending all day giving all 552 of them passwords."
She used an invisibility and accidental rememberance spells to keep this section of the house secret. Unless somebody knew it was there, they'd never notice or find it. She sat there for the longest time, just thinking about everything: Fudge, Moody, Percy, Remus..........................

Why wasn't Fudge running again? Completely uncharacteristic. Was he afraid of what might happen to him now that he's actually seen some of Voldemort's followers unconcious and realized he really is back? Moody.......well, she could understand his crazed obsession with this, but that didn't mean she had to like it. While she knew he was right, Remus was right, she thought maybe Percy was a little too young for the position. He had the ambition, but still.......didn't the Muggles have a set age for the leader of their country? At least the Americans did. It was a good idea. Percy, was once again, acting completely out of character. He was so ambitious. Why was he hesitating? Did he really remember what happened 15 years ago? Come to think of it, had him or his family had a close encounter with the Dark Lord or any of his followers? No, not possible. They wouldn't have lived or been sane enough to tell the tale. Then Remus.........she felt terrible for pointing that gun with the silver bullet at his face, and she hoped he didn't remember it. She'd never ask, and she knew he'd never tell, but what if.......

"Stop thinking like that. You would have done what you had to to protect those people. Those kids wouldn't have liked it, but you were obliged to protect them, and they have a right to live a normal life."

She also knew he was right to nominate Percy. She hoped ferverently that he'd accept. She'd talk to him tonight after sending Remus an owl.

Tonks didnt know how long she sat there, but when she looked at her walls, she noticed three storms brewing: to the east, a tornado looking cloud; to the west, a lightning storm; and to the south, over the lake was a heavy rainstorm.

"I wonder if nature knows the mood, or maybe storms just like to conjugate here.....speaking of conjugation, maybe supper can be.........."

She didn't have any cookbooks at this house, so she had her fingers crossed that Ginny had picked up some skills from her mom.

~*~

Diamond - Hermione

Hermione saw Ron coming down the hill calling for her.

"Hermione, Tonks want's us all to get inside, it looks like it's going to be one hell of a storm" he said with a slight pant. "Have you seen Harry?" he asked.

"No, I mean I last saw him going towards the cabin. He said he was going to go to Remus's, but that he'd tell someone first."

"Bloody hell. There's the storm of the century brewing and he gets delusions of grandure of flying off to 'Save' Remus."

"We better tell the others. He said he was going to tell someone, perhaps they stopped him."

"Here's hoping, but I'm not holding my breath." Ron said as they went back to the cabin.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny sat on the dock for a while still waiting for a responce. She was on edge already, she didn't need someone busting out of the bushs and making her scream.

"What a load of--"

Nope, not one person - two.

"Merlin! You guys!" she screamed. "Stop doing that!"

"Sorry," said Neville sheepishly as Charlie help him up.

"We should probably go inside," Charlie said percitently.

She finally started to relax after all the scares, big and small. the noticiblity of her lack of sleep began to kick in as she let her older brother put his arm around her.

The mid-day sky was heavily darkend with ugly gray clouds.

"I hope there isn't anymore unpleasnt surp--" Neville started and was cut off by a loud 'BOOM'.

A thin crack of lightning light the sky up and only made the darkness and thundering noise twice as loud.

"Like that?" asked Charlie who had to admit the noise made him jump a little.

"What's going on?" asked a very muddy Malfoy just coming out of the woods himself.

"We have to get back to the cabin." Ginny told him just as tiny droplets began to fall on their faces. "The weather doesn't look good."

~*~

Tonks - Sandry

Tonks wandered into the living room.
Fine thing, when you get lost in your own house, she mused.
She looked around, noticing that the house seemed kinda empty. She knew Remus and Moody had gone home, and she told Ron to tell everyone to get inside, but...........

She looked at her living room weather window, and judged how far away each storm was by counting lightning and thunder. She started to get worried. The storms were a lot closer than what she had originally thought, and the closest one wasnt far off.

She ran outside, looking for everybody.

"Ron! RON! HERMIONE!" She had to yell to make herself heard.
"RON! HERMIONE! WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?"

"CHARLIE, GINNY, NEVILLE, AND MALFOY ARE COMING OUT OF THE WOODS OVER THERE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS!" she shouted.

Finally coming in range to where she had to talk loudly but not shout, she said, "What about Fred, George, Lee, Percy, Bill, Angelina, Luna, Penelope? Has anyone seen them?"

"I think Percy and Penelope went to the Ministry, but I dunno. Nobody knows where Fred, George, and Lee are, and Charlie's--"

Just then Charlie, carrying Ginny, came around the house with Draco and Neville, while Mudpie yanked on her leash to go inside.

"Does anyone know where Fred, George, Lee, and Luna are?" Tonks asked loudly.

"Luna is sleeping. I don't know why, but after the meeting she just kinda...passed out," said Hermione.

"So that leaves Harry, the twins, and-"
"Harry is inside, I finally convinced him not to go right now and-"
"How?"
"Simple, long sleeping spell."
"Oh," said Tonks

Just after that, the twins came out shortly followed by Lee.

"YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SURROUNDINGS!! THERE ARE THREE STORMS COMING UP AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE YOU THREE WENT!!" she yelled. "Where's Bill and Angelina?"

By the looks on all their faces, nobody had seen them since the meeting.

Oh no...

"EVERYONE, INSIDE, NOW!! NO QUESTIONS, AND DON'T GO IN THE STORM CELLAR!!!"

I hope they find shelter, whether they are together or not...

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville went into the house at Tonks insistence. The only ones not there were Remus, who had left, Luna, who was sleeping, and Bill and Angelina, who wasn't anywhere to be found. As Neville was trying to remember the last place he saw them, there was a loud BOOM of thunder. He jumped.

"The house should be fine during the storm." Tonks said.

"That sounds kind of like what you said last night when Remus was a werewolf!" Neville said in a high pitched voice. He was a bit afraid of storms, not alot, but enough.

Mudpie jumped onto Hermione's lap and barked. Neville jumped a little at the bark. As soon as Mudpie stopped barking there was a loud noise, that kind of sounded like a train.

"It's a tornado!" Neville squeaked and ran for the door into the rest of the house.

~*~

Sevens - George

The twins and Lee all had ringing ears from their short little lecture from Tonks. George was still shaking his head and lighty bumping his left ear with the base of his palm as he, Fred, and Lee walked into a room in the middle of the house without windows. Lee sat on a couch and went back to trying to hear while Fred sat on the floor near what used to be a fire place and was now an inside garden.

George sat on a foot stool and shook his head once more. "Man...I never thought she could yell that loud," yelled Fred playfully, pretending he really couldn't hear, just then George looked at him, eyes widening, "Oh no! For Merlin's long beard! I can't hear! I can see your lips moving, make it stop!" Lee and Fred both started laughing with George soon joining in.

~*~

Tonks - Sandry

Tonks went into the kitchen by way of the den, and grabbed a pen and post-its when she went by. When she emerged in the kitchen, feeling shaky and worried, she bewitched the post-its to fly, and wrote one to Fred, George, and Lee:

I highly doubt you three idiots aren't hearing impaired, but if you like, I'll still allow you to have dinner. Find the others and DON'T "WANDER" OUTSIDE!

She apparated to her secret library, grabbed a decent cookbook, and apparated back.

Once she had dinner ready, she sent the post-it off to the twins and Lee.

She bewitched 2 more with 5 spells each for straight flying, water-proofness, trailing, flexibility and legibility, and wrote 1 to Bill:

Bill, if you get this before the storm hits you- find shelter, don't come out till we come for you, I am putting a path marking spell on this, and there are multiple storms coming. If you have your wand, turn this green if Angelina is with you. If not, then fold it in half twice. If she isn't with you, leave it alone and tell it to find me. The rest of your family and the other road-trippers except for Angelina are here and safe.
--Tonks


She sent another, almost identical, one to Angelina:

Angelina, if you get this before the storm hits you: find shelter and stay there. We will find you when the storms pass, this note has a path marking spell on it. There are three storms that I can see. If you are with Bill and have your wand, turn this paper blue. If you don't have your wand, fold it in half. If Bill isn't with you, leave it alone and tell it to find me. All the others except Bill are here and safe.
--Tonks


Just after she sent them off, the kids came trooping into the kitchen and were sent off to the dining room so she could levitate everything in there with no problems.

Let's hope this is all over soon...

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Charlie, Ginny, Nevill, and Draco were all soaked, but none of them were as muddy as Ginny and Draco.

Draco had fell in the forest and gotten a little dirty, but after she triped on a wet rock and fall into a mud puddle Ginny couldn't stop slipping so Charlie had to carry the muddy girl to the cabin.

After everyone was inside Tonks had them eating dinner.

"What is it with you all," Malfoy grumbled under his breath, "there's a disaster and what are you going to do? Eat! Werewolf. Hum lets eat! Huge storm. Lets eat! Well except when the Minister quits running for office you shut your selfs in a room, but that's not really a disaster now is it."

"Are you done?" asked Ginny.

Draco scowled. "No."

"Come on lets eat!" she said over brightly which is especially annoying when mud is squishing around in your shoes.

"Weasleys."

Why do I put up with him? Ginny asked herself. I mean if you forget about his money and his expencive clothes and the perfect hair and those good looks of his...really good looks...What is there? But they're really good looks...

"knut for your thoughts, Ginny?" she jumped when she heard one of her brothers ask her a question.

~*~

Sree - Remus

Remus hadn't gotten very far at all. The wind had started to pick up and the old broom simply couldn't handle it.

Remus stopped the broom for a moment and looked around him. He was litterall being closed in on by different types of storms.

He cursed angrily at the thought of having to go back to Tonk's cabin. He did not want to see them.

He remembered everything that he did to them last night. How he could think of nothing except blood as he tore apart the floor to get through and how Tonks had been ready to kill him. He was just in a sour mood and wanted to go home and calm down.

Remus tried to force the broom to fly once more but the wind threw him off course and finally into the trees below.

He hit a few branches before falling with a thud on the ground, his broom landing on top of him and his suitcase beside him.

He laid on the ground for quite a while and jumped as a yellow, folded post it fluttered past his face and then footsteps came stomping out of the distance a few minutes later.

"Remus?" It was Bill. He stood over the man and looked down. "What are you doing, mate?"

"Trying to go home." He mumbled and blinked as a large raindrop splatted on his forehead.

Bill shook his head and pulled Remus to his feet and grabbed his things.

"I don't know why you're leaving." Bill continued to shake his head. "No one hates you."

"Yes. Well - " Remus searched for an exscuse but was being pulled along the path by Bill.

"Look -" Said Bill. "Have you seen Angelina? I went out to round people up when the storm came in. Tonks sent me that note saying she has everyone but Angelina."

Remus sighed and looked around. He couldn't leave Angelina outside and lost in this storm. "I haven't seen her. Do you want help looking?"

~*~

Rae - Luna

Luna laughed at Ginny's startled look, as Ron asked her what she was thinking about.

She blushed, but she recovered quickly. "I was just wondering if Remus, Bill, and Lina were okay," she said.

"Yeah, I've been wondering too," Charlie said. "Have you heard anything yet Tonks?" he asked.

"Nothing yet, since I sent him the note. I really hope they are okay, these storms are moving quickly."

After that there was silence at the table. Tonks wasn't even making her faces, as she did last summer for Hermione and Ginny. Everyone was waiting anxiously for the three who were missing to some how respond, and for the impending storm to come.

Everytime there was a crack of thunder Neville would shudder, and Mudpie would bark loudly.

The meal went on slowly, and quietly. No one said much. Occasionally Fred, George, or Lee would try to lighten the mood, but it was no use, everyone was scared. Even Tonks and Charlie were scared.

Dinner was finished, and everyone was sitting tensly. "Thank you Tonks," Luna said abruptly. "Now, do you mind if I may be excused?"

Tonks seemed a little startled. "Oh, no, I don't mind. Just don't go out side."

Luna quickly left the the dining room, and went to her room. She then took out her quill and parchment.

Dear Father,

I am just writing to tell you that I am fine, and I am having an enjoyable time. Right now we are at Tonk's cabin. I dearly hope that you are okay, and safe, because right now there are three storms coming our way. Don't worry, we will be safe. I can feel it.

I love you,
Luna


She folded the letter and addressed it. She knew she would not be able to mail it, but it made her feel better just to write it.

~*~

Sera - Ginny

Ginny was really worried about Remus, Bill, and Lina. The storm shook the whole house and put everyone on edge. Ginny decided to go help Hemione calm down her puppy when she saw Luna go to her room.

"Hi, Ginny." said Hermione as the red head sat next to her.

"Hey." she replied as she gave Mudpie a gental stroke. "Where did the guys go?"

"Off making mischief to pass the time, no doubt." Hermione said rolling her eyes. She knew them all too well.

Ginny twisted around to make sure it wasn't Draco they were making mischief with. She didn't see him.


"Who are you looking for?" Hermione inquired.

"Ahh..." Ginny searched for an answer and saw Luna again. "Just Luna." Ginny repied waving her over to them.

~*~

Sree - Remus

Remus and Bill continued to drag themselves through the paths that were quickly becoming mud and very difficult to walk in. They had even crossed in front of Tonks' cabin and into the wood on the other side in hopes of finding Angelina there.

"We're never going to find anything in this weather!" Shouted Bill as he shielded his eyes from the rain. It was very difficult to see anything. He could barely see Remus two steps away from him.

"We need to find Angelina!" Remus shouted back. "Do you really think we can send them a letter saying, Oh. Hello. We've lost your daughter. But we're having a great time."

"Don't get snappy at me." Said Bill. "Maybe she's back at the cabin and we're wasting our time!"

Remus pinched the bridge of his nose as he attempted to sort his thoughts. An excited yelp interrupted them.

"REMUS! BILL!"

They both turned around as Angelina came splooshing through the mud towards them, obviously just as drenched as they were.

Angelina jumped on both of them giving them hugs. "I'm so glad I found you!" She looked tearful.

"Let's have a reunion later." Said Remus. "We need to get back to the cabin."

The three slowly made their way back. Soon Remus was banging on the door. The three had made it back safely. Wet, but safely.

Now it was time to wait out the storm before continuing on with their road trip.

~*~

Shadowlight - Neville

Neville was scared of the storm, and worried about Bill, Remus, and Angelina. When they came in he sighed in relief.

Neville wandered around the house, jumping each time there was a peal of thunder. Eventually he found some plants and sat down to look at them. They looked a little ragged and thirsty, so he went and got some water, and watered them. Just as he finished watering them, someone walked up behind him.

"Hey."

Neville jumped.

"Hey!" came a shout from the door.

Angelina was framed by Bill and Remus who were absolutly soaked. Tonks went for towles and Harry imediatly hugged Remus. If either one had at one point had hard feeling toward the other, they didn't seem to anymore.

"Get inside you two!" Tonks shouted at Remus and Harry still outside while throwing a couple of towels at them.

George/Fred ~ Sevens

Fred and George had since then relocated to a couch in the living room with Lee. The three were discussing what could maybe fix a few things in their Skiving Snack Boxes. They'd perfected all the candies except a few new additions. They were about to try a piece of one to see what was wrong with it when Tonks ushered Bill and Remus inside. They then quickly put the piece of candy away and inside of a potted plant beside them, all looking like their normal selves since looking innocent never worked all that well for them.

Once Bill, Angelina, and Remus were dried off George stood and went to the kitchen, "I'll make them some tea or something." Fred muttered below his breath and leaned back on the couch before standing and walking to Angelina and gave her a quick hug, ignoring the wetness of her clothes and then followed George to help him make the tea since Angelina was with them. While he walked he muttered something to George when he caught up with him about somehow tricking Draco into trying the snack.

Draco~Chromerose

Draco slid out from behind the large potted plant in the hallway after Fred and George walked by. They were muttering to each other and he hadn't caught much. He was pretty sure that he had heard his name however and his eyes narrowed slightly. He smirked and glanced into the living room. Noone was there. Walking into the living room, he thought about his predicament. Fred and George were going to try to do something to him that's for sure.

"Well, I'l just have to be ready for them then, if that's the way they want to play."

"Draco!"

He whirled around, looking innocent, "It wasn't me, it was Potter!"

Tonks stood there with her hands on her hips, looking at him blandly. "What where you doing?"

"Nothing."

"OK, then...go help Ginny clean the kitchen. Please. Draco? NOW!!!" she glared at him. "This is my house, there are alot of people here and you will help."

Draco smirked at her. He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest. "Or what? Your not going to throw me out, I'm not stupid. Your too nice to do that in the middle of a raging storm, even to a Malfoy."

Tonks smiled sweetly at him, "You know, your right Malfoy, I am too nice to throw you out. Your so clever. But, wait a minute," she tapped a finger against her chin in thought. "I do think I remember a certain spell, yes, yes I do. Mad Eye taught it to me. Would you like to hear it?"

She burst out laughing as Draco left the room so quickly he had actually blurred.

Sera~Ginny

Ginny stood in the kitchen like a lost little puppy as her brother made tea. She was so confused she wasn't sure if she had agreed to help Tonks with a very late dinner or a very early breakfast.

Fred left with a hot cup for Angelina and not more than a moment later did Draco bust through the door looking as white as bed sheets.

Ginny smirked tring to cover lost confussion. "So what's up?" she asked.

"Tonks drafted me into doing servent work." He drawled.

Ginny ran a sink full of water for only the dishes that Fred used to make tea. "You know there's nothing more attractive than a man who does dishes." She said smiling as she held up a spoon.

"Woman work." He drawled again.

Ginny stopped smiling. "Oh really?" she said gritting her teeth.

"Yeah, whats the big deal?" He asked unknowingly. "Hey, make me some tea, will ya?" he said pulling up a chair.

Hermione was glad that Remus was back, and that he and Harry were ok. She noticed Tonks had a shelf of books, and decided to take a look. Scanning the titles she found one on "Magical Locations" a book that list small wizardly villages, towns, and so on, giving information about each place. She figured this would be a great read since they're on a road trip!

Draco ~ ChromeRose


"Yeah, whats the big deal?" He asked unknowingly. "Hey, make me some tea, will ya?" he said pulling up a chair.

***
Ginny threw the wet wash rag at Draco. It hit him in the head, mussing his perfect hair. He slowly looked up at her, mouth slightly open.

She laughed. "Make me a cuppa tea....hrmph." She turned back to the dishes.

Draco looked at the filthy muggle thing in his lap. 'What the hell was she doing washing dishes this way, it was a hor---right Draco, that's what you should be focusing on. The stupid bint just THREW something and messed up your hair.' Cringing he picked up the rag with his fingertips and glanced at her.

Splat! Draco sniggered behind her. Ginny reached up and grabbed the rag off her head.

She dunked the rag in the water, as if to ignore him and finish her task. She whirled around and threw the dish rag at him, flinging water everywhere in the process. Then she ran.

Draco ran after her and caught her just before she hit the door. He pressed up against her back and whispered in her ear. "You think this is done, Weasley. You have alot to learn." He picked her up and dunked her butt first into the freezing water in the sink. He smiled at her and pecked a kiss on her nose.

listening to music in my head...
Neville noticed a bookshelf and read some of the titles. He found one called "Magical plants and their magical properties: a treatise on the bubertubers"

Neville sat in a corner of the living room, where he was easily overlooked by tonks when she was looking for people to help clean the house. He looked up from his book as he turned a page. He saw candy stuck in one of the plants. he kept reading, but he thought about the candy. He couldn't stop thinking about the candy....

Katie walked into the kitchen, looking for a snack. She hoped she'd find some Cauldron Cakes, but instead...

"Ginny! Get your ass out of that sink!" Katie gasped, then yelled. Draco and Ginny sprang apart guiltily.

"This isn't..."

"It's diff..." The two trailed off. Katie grinned.

"Please, like Oliver and I weren't ever caught in any embarassing positions. There was this one time, in Hagrid's Hut..." Draco and Ginny looked at her, and Katie flushed. "Right, so just don't sit in the sink, it's cold out, you may catch a chill. I'll just... be going then." Katie grabbed a pack of Bertie Bott's and left hurriedly. Draco and Ginny turned towards each other...

Ginny met Draco's eyes and looked away quickly as she wiped the soap suds off her forehead.

"She won't...ah..." Draco said, his signature drawl failing him momentarily.

"No." Ginny said quickly, "Or at least...ah...why? Do you think she will...ah...?"

"Oh let's just say it, shall we?" said Draco shortly. "You don't want your parents to know about me, and I don't want my partents to know about you."

Ginny knew the situation but, hearing it for the first time stung painfully like a tiny papercut. She sunk down to the floor, her tush making a 'squish' sound, and burried her face in her hands.

"What should we do now?" she mumbled into her palms. She waited a while for his reponse, or at least a little comforting gesture. But rather than a warm arm around her shoulders she felt a cold sheet of water hit her neck. Before she could scream or retailiate a muffled gasp of terror came from outside the kitchen. It sounded like Neville.

Hermione jerked her head up just as Neville screamed, and instead of seeing Neville, she saw, a weird looking dog, that kinda looked like Neville... in the face.

Then she saw the candy wrapper on the floor.

"FRED... GEORGE!!" she yelled with hands on hips and a death glare on her face.

listening to music in my head...
Neville sat there after eating the piece of candy. It had tasted...odd. not like candy at all. Then he started changing. When he noticed this he screamed. He changed into a sort of dog thing. He heard Hermione shout for Fred and George.

Neville wasn't thinking too clearly at teh moment. He was panicking and didn't want to be turned into anything else. He made a run for the door and escaped out into the storm. He ran away form teh cottage until he was tired, cold, wet and muddy. Eventually he stopped by the lake where Trevor had been buried. He curled up and laid down on Trevor's grave and cried.

Calling all superheroes!

Charlie heard someone go out the door. Seeing Hermione seething at the twins, he decided he should probably take it upon himself to find whoever'd just left. He quietly opened the door and slipped out. It was, however, raining too hard for him to see anything, but he thought he saw a figure by the lake, so he ran off in that direction. Eventually, he could see that the figure was Neville (who had by this time turned back into himself). He could also see the Neville was sitting by the grave of his late toad, Trevor.

Charlie wasn't sure if he should interrupt the boy's mourning, so he just stood there for a while, wondering what to do. Until suddenly...

Dang! Az beat me!!

Ginny~Sera **back in the hut**

Ginny and Draco poked their heads out of the kitchen door, both not wanting to be caught soaked to the bone.

They caught bits of conversation about Neville during into a puppy and running out into the storm. This whole matter of neville seemed to be caused by Fred and George.

"Figures." Drawled Draco.

Ginny elbowed him sharply, "be quiet!" she hissed as she saw Charlie leave though the door.

Draco smirked and knew he'd get her back for that later.

"We didn't mean it for Neville," Fred said.

"It was for Draco." Said George in their defence.

"Where is the little bugger anyways?" asked Fred.

"I've got him and Ginny at work in the kitchens." said Tonks.

Ginny jumped at the mention of their names.

Fred and George looked like they might go into 'big brother defencive mode'.

"Don't even think about it, you two!" said Tonks sharply. "You're coming with me to find Neville. He's probably scared half to death."

Draco and Ginny ducked back into the kitchen until a path cleared to their rooms where the incriminating evidence of a water fight could be disposed of.

"Now what?" asked Draco as Ginny kissed him on the tip of his nose gently.

"Now we clean up this water you bloody bum." she whisperd sweetly.

Katie grabbed Charlie. He jumped.

"ACK! What?" Katie pulled him towards her.

"I heard somebody crying after I left. What's going on with Neville?" she asked quietly.

"He's having a hard time of it."

"Did your brothers...?"

"Yeah." Katie had an angry look on her face. She went over to Neville and sat down beside him.

Ginny~Sera

After cleaning up the water, Ginny and Draco tip toed to their bedrooms. Everyone else was either in the living room or outside.

"I can't belive we're getting away with this. We could have gotten caught. This was wrong." Ginny kept muttering.

"I swear that mouth is only good for one thing." Draco told himself.

Just before they rounded the corner to the hall of bedrooms the door swung open. It was Katie and she was completely soaked. She saw the two, went bug eyed and slamed it shut as the two made a run for their bedrooms.

"See I told you she could be trusted!" Ginny said smiling at the thought that her friend would cover for them like that.

"shush!" Draco said as sounds of tonks, fred, george, Charlie, Katie, and neville's voices lingerd. "I think we're okay." Draco paused and listend "Yeah, the rain was too thick. No one saw us."

Ginny smiled and walked towards her room, but Draco got there before her.

"Ah..." Ginny looked confused. "Your room's that way." she pointed to the room down the hall.

"I know." said Draco peeling off his shirt.

Ginny gulped and looked at the floor. She was certian the pattern of Tonk's carpet wasn't as interesting as what Draco was doing but she didn't want to blush anymore that what she had.

"Then what are you doing?" she said shakily.

"What do you want me to do." Draco drawled and let her sweat it out a bit. "Your brothers probably have my room so cursed by now, that I'd turn into a three headed goldfish before getting a Tshirt, so I think I'll just dry off here." he said in a less alluring drawl.

"Oh." said Ginny still feeling uncomfortable.
