The next morning Hermione tried to calm everyone down and lead them someway, hoping they get back to where they were, but not all of the group were happy "I can't believe we lost our course, and it's all because of a Malfoy again" Ruby turned to Ron, offended "Well excuse me for getting sick, im not a vampire-" and then she whispered the last part "-bitch" Ron turned to her, glaring "What did you just say to me you blonde?" "Guys brake it up, we don't have time for this" Hermione tried, but the red head didn't stop "Oh shut it Mione', for all we know were walking in circles!" Ron threw his hands in the air, getting in Hermione's space. Unina grunted and made her way to the fighting teens "Please don't fight here. Hermione's right, we just don't have the time for your childish banter" Now Ron turned to glare at the shorter female "Look whose speaking-" "Back of Weasley" Cedric stepped in, raping his arm around his sister's shoulder. Ron rolled his eye's "I see your sister can't fend for her self. I guess woman are really useless-" Ruby had enough. She ran up to Ron and kicked him in the stomach, making him fly a bit in the air, before landing and rolling away "Say that again" She said in a threatening voice, walking slowly to where Ron was lying. Ron looked at the group behind the girl, but they backed off, not wanting the raft of the blonde. Ron grunted and stood up, holding his stomach "I said that your useless. What good are you, the only good you did is get sick" Ruby glared and the boy and went for a punch, before a string attached it self to Ron and pulled him up "RON" Hermione shouted. Ruby acted fast. She turned around and grabbed Hermione's hand, running away, the teens following "What about Ron!" Hermione shouted to the girl who was dragging her behind herself "If were lucky he will stay alive enough for us to help!" Just then another string of web came down and attached it self to Blaise, pulling him up too. Ruby grunted seeing her friend disappear. She looked around until she found a crevasse in a tree. She gestured to the teen's who were left to follow. Unina and Cedric got in first, and before Hermione could a web came for her too. Ruby seeing that pushed Hermione into the crevasse, making the web attach to her and pull her into the tree's. "RUBY" Hermione shouted out, trying to run out, but being stopped by the Diggory sibling's holding her in place.
When they couldn't hear the rustling of the tree's anymore they let go of the now calm Hermione "What are we gonna do now?" Unina asked, scooting closer to her brother, who in turn held her closer. "We have to get our friend's back" Hermione said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Cedric chuckled "That be nice and all, but if you might not know this situation let me explain it to you. Our friend's are gone in the tree's. We don't know where they are, and we really don't want to encounter the creature who got those webs!" When Cedric registered the girl's surprised look's he looked down "Sorry" Hermione but her hand on his shoulder "Don't sweat it" Then she crawled out of the crevasse, the sibling's following her "Now we need a way up there" Hermione gestured to the tree's. Unina turned her head to look around and saw ladder's on a tree "Um, Hermione will this do?" the brunet turned around to look at the ladders "Yes, that's perfect" she said before starting to climb the ladder's "God do i hate height's" Unina said, before following Hermione up, Cedric doing the same.
Not long after they started to climb they were at the top, and when they stepped on to a near by branch they looked around, only to be terrified. All around them were web's. Web's full of what looked like bodies, decaying bodies. Hermione held her hand to her mouth, shocked and full of horror "Come on girl's let's go, before what happened to them happens to us" Cedric said. The girl's nodded and walked in a line, trying not to look at their side's "So how will we find our chaotic friend's-" Unina got cut of by some voices, and it look's like they were arguing "Shut up you blonde moron, you dont know anything" "Oh dont i? You have a psychopath for a sister-" "Guys please stop, your starting to get annoying" The three teens chuckled and made their way to a smaller web, where their friend's were suspended "Glad to see your alive" Blaise was the first to see the three "Thank god you came, im not sure i could of survived any longer with these two" Unina giggled and went to help Blaise out "Sure you couldn't" When Blaise was free he looked down at the female "My hero" Unina blushed a bit and bowed "It was my pleasure" That made Blaise lough.
Cedric walked up to the blonde and helped her out of the web. Since she was a bit higher than the boys, when she got free she fell into Cedric's arms. The two locked eye's. Ruby blushed and pushed her self away "Thanks you" Cedric giggled and rubbed his neck "Yeah, no problem" The awkward moment was cut off by Ron, again "Oh my god thank you thank you thank you. I swear i could kiss you right now" "Don't" Hermione answered, plain and simple. The teen's listening chuckled "So who was the creature to get you into these" Unina gestured to the webs "Ain't in obvious. The web's, the cocoon's. It was the work of a-" "SPIDER!" Blaise was cut of by Ron. The group turned around and saw a gigantic spider, running at them, full speed "FUCKING GO" Unina shouted, and with that the teens took of running, branch to branch, trying not to fall. As they were running Hermione tried to find the best way to escape, then she looked down at the water beneath them "EVERYONE JUMP DOWN" She shouted before jumping "Wait no i can't-" Ruby tried but was cut of by the group pushing on each other and jumping. The spider tried to get them, but before it could it ran into it's own web, sticking to it.
Everyone landed in the water, and before long everyone came up, well most came up "WERE ALIVE" Ron shouted when he came out of the water "Is everyone here?" Hermione asked looking around "Yeah-" Unina cut her self of when she looked around better, not spotting her blonde friend "Where's Ruby?" She asked the group. Everyone looked around, but couldn't find her. Then it clicked to Blaise, and he started to panic "Guys, Ruby can't swim" Everyone looked panicked at the boy. Cedric dove down and tried to look for the blonde, but not spotting her. Before he was about to come up for air he saw the girl's blonde hair, floating down to the deep end. Cedric swam faster and grabbed the girl's hand, before pulling them both out of the water. He swam to shore and plopped the passed out blonde on it. Everyone gathered around as Cedric tried to preform CPR. "Please" Unina whispered from beside's her brother. Cedric knowing that pushing on the chest won't help for long, he decided to do the only thing he disliked the most. He squeezed the girl's nose and opened her mouth, connecting their lips together and pushing air into her. He backed away and was going to go back to pressing, when the blonde cought up the water. Hermione and Blaise helped the girl sit up, who was still coughing. Ron took off his robe and rapped in around the girl "Sorry for the arguing earlier" He said in a whisper to the girl. Ruby nodded "All is forgiven" Ron smiled and stood up. "What happened?" She asked the group. Unina smiled at her friend, seeing her safe and sound "Well we had to jump in the water to escape, but we didn't know you couldn't swim. Cedric dove down and brought you to shore, before preforming CPR to save you" Ruby once again blushed a deep red and turned to the Hufflepuff who was looking away from embarrassment "Thank's again, Cedric" The boy turned to the girl and smiled "Always happy to help"
Not long after they made a campfire and settled down for the time being, planing on what to do next.
