The next day came by for the small group. As always. Hermione was the first person who got up. Not long after Ruby followed. When the female woke up she saw the brunet standing all alone, just staring at the woods. She got up and went to her friend "You alright Mione'?" Ruby asked the the girl while putting a hand on her shoulder. The brunet turned to look at Ruby "Im just worried for Harry, that's all" The blonde smiled at the girl "If it makes you feel better i think about Draco every night. I know it's hard, but you just have to trust them to keep each other alive" Hermione smiled and hugged Ruby. The female was surprised at first, but gradually got used to the feeling of being hugged, and hugged the other girl back. They stood hugging for a while, before someone broke it "Why does no one ever invite me?" Blaise asked. Hermione shook her head with a smile, then went up to get everyone to wake up. When everyone was fully awake, they ventured out to find themselves food.
The whole group were split in part's of two. Blaise, Ruby and Hermione, while the other group consisted of Cedric, Unina and Ron. The second group were just chatting away, before they heard a shout behind them. They turned around, only to see their friend's. "Did you hear that guys?" Unina asked the group. Cedric looked closer at the group. They looked devoted of all emotion, and they had perfect posture. Something Hermione didn't have "No we didn't hear anything, your just going insane" Blaise said, before walking in front of them, Ruby and Hermione following. Cedric looked at his group, concerned, but they shrugged and walked further behind the group. "Something must of happened" Unina started whispering to the two. Cedric nodded "Yeah. Even if Blaise did meet us a couple of day's ago, he never said anything like that-" "Get a move on!" Hermione shouted at the group, who by now were walking 5 feet away. "Hermione's off too" Ron said as the three hurried to follow. Cedric looked around, for any possible way to escape, or at least hide, since he was pretty sure the people in front of them weren't their friends. Finally after looking around long enough he found a thick enough bush where they could hide and not be cought in. He quietly gestured to his friend's to follow him, and as quietly as they could they hid in the bush. "Okay were-" The fake Ruby started talking, turning around to look at the people behind them, but found nothing or no one there. She cursed under breath and lifted her shirt's sleeve, to reveal a talking device "We lost them" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST-you know what? Never mind, come back. We have the other three" A voice talked back, sounding really familiar to Cedric. Ruby nodded to the voice, even though he couldn't see that and gestured to the two other fakes to follow. "lets follow them-" Cedric started, trying to walk while still crouching, but was stopped by his sister "Are you crazy?! It's suicide to go there, for all we know they are trained to kill" She shout-whispered to her brother. Ron put a hand on Unina's shoulder "I got to side with your sister bro, without any weapon's or anything like that were practically useless" Cedric sighed out of frustration and sat down, before something popped into his head "Didn't Ruby have special training in her old school?" The two other teens looked at each other, before Unina spoke up "Yes she did, but how can we know she was thought how to fight?" Cedric smiled and started to crouch-walk "We don't" Unina sighed at her brother behavior and followed him, Ron followed Unina "Bro how weren't you in Gryfindor?" Ron asked the boy. He giggled and turned his head to look at Ron "Because im not. Im brave right now, cause our friends are in danger and we need to save them" Unina rolled her eye's with a smile, knowing exactly why hes so worried for their 'friends'.
Meanwhile Ruby, Hermione and Blaise were tied to tree's, having to watch what their clones were doing. The fake Ruby walked up to the clone Cedric "Everything ready sir" She asked before bowing. He smirked and pulled her in "Thank you, your perfect~" He said before kissing her, and having an all out make out session, while the other clones just starred with no emotion. On the other hand the three humans turned away and closed their eye's. When they couldn't hear anymore sloppy sound's they opened their eye's. In front of them a fire was lit. As it begun to get wider something grabbed Ruby from behind. Before she could scream her mouth was covered up "Shh, it's okay. It's me, Cedric. Were here to free you out, but one thing i got to ask you, do you know hand to hand combat?" Ruby turned her head and nodded. Cedric smiled at her and cut her robe, leaving one string on for no suspicion. Ruby turned her head and saw that the fake Unina and Ron were gone, so she gestured to the real Ron and Unina to take care of that. They smirked and went close to the fire, pretending to be the clone's.
Ruby silently loosened the last tie of rope, and dropped it. She quietly made her way around the fake Cedric and Ruby, preparing to attack. Before she could the fake Cedric spoke "Attack" And with that the fake Ruby turned around and pounced onto the real one. The Cedric clone started to lough, when he got jumped by the real one. After some time the two fake's of Ron and Unina came back. Now everyone was busy fighting their clone's. Ruby remembered all of her training from the time at her old school, and used them to her advantage. When the clone attacked her with a foot kick to the stomach, she backed away just in time and lifted her foot just right, swinging the clone right in the face. It stumbled back, and before in could get back to fighting, Ruby ran to it and jumped kicked the clone into the fire. It's burning screams made the fake Ron and Unina stop, buying just enough time for Ron and Unina to push their clones into the fire. Ruby then went to help the real Cedric fight off his clone, when one problem came up, they looked exactly the same. The two boys stopped fighting and turned to look at Ruby "Im the real one don't listen to what he says" One Cedric replied pointing to the other. "Ruby please listen to me, he isn't the real one" The second replied. Ruby looked conflicted between the two, when she thought of something. Something only the real Cedric would know "When we first met each other, how did we act with each other" Immediately a Cedric walked up to her "I was really embarrassed around you. I started stuttering and i just couldn't find the word's to talk to you" Everyone looked at the Cedric closest to Ruby "That's-" Ruby started, smiling ear to ear. She leaned closer and was about to kiss him, before she stepped back and kicked him into the flames "-incorrect" She turned to the real Cedric and smiled "You just stood there and stared at me" Cedric smiled at her and speed walked to her, giving her the biggest hug he could "Hey everything's fine, nothing to worry-" She couldn't finish her sentence as Cedric pulled away from the hug, leaned closer to her and kissed her. She stood there, shocked, before she finally returned the kiss.
Unina and Ron stood on the side line's, inspecting. "My brother has finally grown up" She said as she wiped away a fake tear "Now you know how i feel" She giggled, before getting interrupted "Umm, excuse me. I don't want to ruin this beautiful moment, but can someone for the love of god free us?" Blaise said, irritated as fuck. Cedric and Ruby pulled away from each other, smiling, before going and helping their friend's.
