Finally ; Harry Potter [1]

Chapter 14

In the cellar of Honeydukes, a stone tile shifted, the sound echoing through the box filled room. Still covered in the Invisibility cloak, Harry and Robyn emerged from the small space the tile provided them. A door banged open and footsteps could be heard descending down stairs. Harry and Robyn hid, though covered by the Invisibility cloak, they still had to take precautions.

"A box of Jelly Slugs as well, Horace. We're nearly cleared out." A women's voice boomed from somewhere above. The man grunted and began to shuffle and move boxes. Robyn held her breath, her heart hammering in her chest. She knew all too well that coming here was a mistake. She would much rather be safely in her Common Room but if it meant keeping Harry safe then this was what she had to do. This was why she had to come. To keep Harry safe.

A hand tugged Robyn's and she looked to see Harry ready to move. The man, by the name of Horace, had his back turned to them. Robyn took a deep breath before following Harry, their hands still held together. They tiptoed up the creaky wooden stairs and pried the cellar door open.

Chatter immediately filled their ears and a sweet smell filled their nostrils. Robyn and Harry grinned at eachother.

They squeezed their way through the student filled shop, careful not to bump into anyone. As the exit came into sight, Robyn smiled. The cold chilly air seemed to be calling her under the stuffy warmth of the cloak. Harry whipped a red lollipop out of Neville's hand just as he was about to lick it.

The two exit, Robyn gigging at the look of confusion on Neville's face as he watched the lollipop float out of sight. Robyn sighed as the cold air greeted her. Snow crunched under their feet, making inside the shops look a lot more cosy and welcoming.

"So, where do you think Ron and Hermione are?"

>>>

The Shrieking Shack loomed above Hermione and Ron as they stared at it stiffly from the safety of a small decaying fence. A mist hung around it in thick, undulating veils. Both, Ron and Hermione, tried their best to conceal the fact that they were both scared stiff.

"It's meant to be the most haunted building in Britain. Did I mention that?" Hermione said, breaking the awkward silence that had fell.

"Twice." Ron said, feeling both amused and awkward, as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Should we move a bit closer?" Hermione asked, despite the fact that her voice shook and she was petrified.

"Huh? Oh... All right..."

Hermione and Ron took one step, the snow crunched underneath their feet, making Ron jump. They took a second step closer and stopped dead.

"Actually, it's fine from here." Ron nodded his head furiously, his voice higher then usual. A thing that often occurred when Ron was feeling scared.

"Perfect." Hermione breathed, quite happy with the thought of not getting any closer.

Suddenly, voices echoed, and three figures appeared over the rise and parting of trees. Their bodies phantoms in the mist. Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle came into view.

"Well, well. Look who's here. You two shopping for your dream home? Seems a bit grand for you, Weasel-Bee. Don't your family all sleep in one room?" Crabbe and Goyle cackled behind Draco while cracking their knuckles menacingly.

"Shut your mouth, Malfoy." Ron spat, his ears and neck warming.

"Now that's not very friendly. Boys, I think we're going to have to teach Weasel-Bee to respect his superiors." Crabbe and Goyle stepped forward. Draco smirked. Hermione let out a harsh, hollow chuckle.

"Hope you don't mean yourself." Hermione spat, jumping in front of Ron, her fists clenched.

Malfoy eyed Hermione with disgust, his eye's a cold, hard grey. "How dare you speak to me, you filthy, little mud-"

Splat!

A gleaming white snowball had hit Draco on the side of his head. As Draco, Crabbe and Goyle looked around in alarm, Hermione and Ron had to stifle back their laughter, hiding the fear they actually felt.

"Who did that!" Draco sputtered. He looked around in confusion.

Splat!

Splat...

Two more hit Malfoy straight in the face. Hermione and Ron also glanced around uneasily. They could see no one hiding in the tree's.

"Well, don't just stand there!" Draco yelled.

Crabbe and Goyle went straight for Ron again, when the two fell head first straight into the snow. It was like someone kicked them in the back of the knees.

Ron and Hermione slowly backed away, scared, Malfoy was doing the same, when he also fell over. He was being dragged closer and closer to the Shrieking Shack. His screams of fear echoed through the woodland and his feet were lifted off the ground like he was being pulled by someone or something.

Hermione and Ron once again shared fearful looks. When, finally, Draco's feet fell back to the ground. He scrambled up and legged it out of veiw, Crabbe and Goyle hot on his trail.

Hermione and Ron slowly put a good distance between them and the Shrieking Shack, when the ground dissappeared from under their feet aswell and they both fell onto the snowy ground.

Laughter filled Ron and Hermione's ears. Hermione narrowed her eye's in suspicion.

"Harry? Harry...?"

The Invisibility cloak fell to the floor, revealing a grinning Harry but also a laughing and tearful Robyn.

"Oh God, that was priceless." Robyn laughed, wiping a tear that had fell down her cheek from laughing so much. Robyn and Harry high fived.

"Robyn, I thought you weren't coming!" Hermione said, also grinning.

"I know, but I am SO glad I did now. The little brat deserved it." Once again Robyn doubled over in laughter.

"That was not-Bloody hell, Harry!-funny!" Ron said, although he was smiling.

"It wasn't just me. Robyn had the idea of dragging Draco over to the Shrieking Shack." Harry grinned.

Both Hermione and Ron pelted Harry and Robyn with snowballs, all laughing. It was the best moment of their lives and they were never going to forget it soon, especially with what happened next...

(Aww, cute. This part is by far my favourite part in the movie. I just think it is so cute to see Harry, Ron and Hermione laughing together. Well, I know it was pretty uneventful but I hope you like it. I'm hoping to get another Chapter to you by today or tomorrow. And we're past 1K reads and we're nearly at 100 votes. This is insane. Thank you guys so much. Bye)
