Everyday From Right Now: TEASER

As I was packing for my trip I realized two very important things.
The first was that I needed a better pair of shoes, not flip-flops, seeing as I will be going both hiking one day and to Knott's Berry Farm on another. The second? If I was intending to post Chapter 5 as soon as I got back, then you guys wouldn't be getting a teaser for it, unless I posted it tonight.

And so, lol, I have taken a break from the chaotic packing of my duffle bag to give you all this teaser for Chapter 5:

...Ron was staring up at the sky, but his leg was bouncing nervously up and down. Hermione saw this, and reached out and placed her hand on his knee. Far from calming him down however, he jerked in surprise.

”Sorry,” Hermione said, snatching her hand away and feeling her face grow warm.

“Oh, no, it’s okay,” he said, his ears going red as well. “No, I was just sort of lost in thought, that’s all, you just surprised me.”

He smiled nervously at Hermione, but she only managed to raise a corner of her mouth in response, before she folded her hands tightly in her lap and stared at them.

Nice one, Ron groaned inwardly. Way to screw up again.

“It’s starting,” Ginny whispered suddenly, her eyes on the front of the castle. Ron and Hermione looked behind them; coming down the lawns in one long line, seemed to be a lot of glistening shapes, followed by a small crowd of people...

It's a much more engaing chapter than some of the previous ones, lol. And thanks you guys who have already reviewed Chapter 4 - I may as well start you replys now since I'm online. ;)
Thanks also for your well-wishes for my trip. Again, I promise that as soon as I'm home I'll put up Chapter 5!
Ciao.

Everyday From Right Now: Chapter 4

LINK: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3725509/4/


Here we go, Chapter 4! Short intro, lol, let’s get to it:


-- Remember me mentioning that sleepless night I had over wands (oo-er!)?? Well, that same night made me doubt whether or not Hermione still had that amazing bag of hers; I thought when the Snatchers came, it was gone. And I couldn’t remember, so I of course cracked open DH. And, nope. She still had it. Lol, thank goodness, for her quick thinking and socks! I mention that trust purse in this and future chapters. And might I add, that as a girl with a bit of a bag fetish herself, I soooo wish I could have a bag like that, LOL.


-- If you want to call anything a filler chapter, this would be the one, lol. But only slightly, as there are a few things I touch on here that come up in a few chapters.


-- As I said in my author’s note, I really wanted to bring Ginny back into the story. Who else missed her in Book 7?!? I know I did, so I used this chapter to fully get her back into play.
And c’mon, you KNOW she’d be all excited about Ron and Hermione, it isn’t as cliché as everyone thinks. ;)

-- Also, the way I see it, since we’ve got this circle of four best friends, consisting of the two couples, there was bound to be some story time between them all, catching each other up. This chapter is full of it, mostly to get it out of the way. There’s a tad more in Ch.6, but after that, each couple is left more or less to their own devices.


--To my Harry/Ginny demanders: There, now, see? Lol. They’re back together and they’ve kissed…and I’m still not done yet. We all know I’ve promised you Ch. 5, which contains a lot more, I promise



That’s about it. I’s a fairly simple chapter, but the next one is mighty heavy as I tackle the Hogwarts Memorial, some more Ron/Hermione, and your dash of Harry and Ginny.

I know the tentative schedule says that I won’t be posting until the 5th of Sept…but I was thinking tonight and….Awwww, I just love you all too much to do that to ya!

Therefore, whenever I get back from my trip, and get all caught up on sleep and rested from driving (because let me tell you, L.A. traffic can be KILLER), I’ll go ahead and put up the next chapter. By my guesses, that’d be either Saturday the 1st or Sunday the 2nd.

Enjoy Chapter 4 with the knowledge that you’ll have the next Chapter in a mere fix or six days! ;)
