The beach part 116

As usual the Knight Bus took its long trip round Britain and Ireland. On the way it stopped at Hepton Farm where it picked up Colin, Demelza and surprisingly Dennis.

"Hey guys." Said Colin. "I hope you don't mind, but the Robins want to meet both me and Dennis."

"No, that's not a problem." Said Harry. "You can probably take this opportunity to meet everyone else and ask any more questions you have about the Wizarding World."

"Also Eilidh will be happy to meet someone not as old as us." Said Demelza.

"Do you think we'll pick up anyone else?" Asked Harry.

"Not sure." Said Emma. "Ron and Ginny will most likely get a lift by Apparation, or even car as they don't live to far away. What about Hermione?"

"I think Mr Weasley went to pick her up, she's not fond of fast moving buses." Said Harry.

"Vicky and Natalie might get a lift." Said Emma. "Natalie's Uncle is apparently very proud of them for standing up for Remus, despite what their parents opinions are. I think we might get to meet him."

"That'll be interesting." Said Demelza. "The only other time we saw him was when he was playing bodyguard for those two Ministry officials."

"Oh yeah." Said Harry. "The other of those bodyguards is going to be our Defence Teacher."

"The guy with the peg leg?" Said Colin. "He looks like he's been through a war."

"He has been through a war." Said Emma. "Remember what Hermione said, he's a famous Auror from the Wizarding War. He's been passing his wisdom on to Harry."

"Hey. It's getting sunnier." Dennis piped up.

The others looked out the window, it was indeed.

"This is our stop." Said Demelza recognising the town in question. She had managed to pick about the only area of the country that was not under a torrential downpour.

Demelza had chosen well. After getting off the Knight Bus at the beachside, they were treated to a scorching sunlit stretch of sandy beach with a view of the vast Atlantic Ocean.

"The town is just behind us, with various facilities we may want, such as toilets, chip shop and so." Said Demelza, as the others looked out at the view.

"That's the Ocean." Said Emma. "The whole world is out there, just beyond the Horizon."

"Yeah." Said Harry lamely.

"This is the first time you've seen the sea isn't it?" Said Dennis.

"Not exactly." Said Harry. "We saw it once, but at that time it was really stormy and… it was nothing like this."

"Just look at that…" Said Emma, her eyes fixed on the water. "It looks so… I wanna go in."

"So do I." Said Harry.

"Then go." Said Demelza. "We'll keep a lookout for everyone else, but my brothers are going to want to meet you both, they've heard a lot about you."

"But…" Harry began.

"Just go." Said Colin.

Harry and Emma looked at each other, as if gaging whether the other approved.
