***There is Harry and Hermione action in this one. I like them but not as much as I like Draco and Ginny together. They, of course, have their own camp. We're at it in this one...***
He called her name three times before a blonde came out rubbing her eyes. Casey tried her best to straighten up when she saw who it was, but she was still fighting sleep. He had been calling Ginny, but she wasn't answering.
"Where's Weasley?"
"She went to see Hermione and Harry last night." His jaw clenched. She wasn't allowed to do that.
"She left without permission." Casey's face turned red and she lowered her eyes to the floor at Draco's shoes.
"She came back mumbling something about moans coming from your tent." Draco cleared his throat suddenly uncomfortable with the nineteen year old. Nodding briefly at her he spun on his heels and turned back to his tent. He's going to owl Weasley and with a parchment a few words less harsh as a howler.
Hermione woke up with Harry kissing her neck. She smiled still sleepy and snuggled closer to him. This is her favorite way to wake up. Ever since they decided to stop playing games she hasn't been as uptight and worried about any and every little thing. Harry's deemed word for her once behavior is anal. She had been anal.
"Mmm Harry," she moaned. He smiled against her neck and pulled her tighter to him.
"As much as I want to carry this on we can't. After you fell asleep last night Ginny came over. She wants to see you." She pulled herself away enough so that she could see his face.
"Is something wrong?" He shrugged.
"You know the git Malfoy. He probably announced his undying love when she was hot and heavy with Harrison." Hermione frowned at him before hitting him on the arm and getting up from bed. Harry whined in protest and tried to pull her back down.
"Mione!"
"Don't Mione me Harry. You know what's been going on with those two for years. Something must have finally happened. Otherwise Gin wouldn't be here." He sighed but nodded joining her.
"I know love," he whispered in her ear as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "Sorry."
"Then get dressed and get out of here. Send her in will you." He stepped back and groaned. There went his alone time with his girlfriend.
"Yes Mione." She threw him a smile over her shoulder.
"Thanks Harry."
"Anytime," he mumbled pulling a fresh shirt over his head. "Any damn time."
"Gin," Hermione greeted and hugged immediately on sight of the redhead.
"Hey Hermione. I'm sorry that I ruined your and Harry's time." Hermione waved her hand as if dismissing it.
"This is more important."
"I don't think Harry would agree. He seemed pissed." Hermione frowned and bit her lip. They haven't gotten a lot of time together. Voldermort is getting closer and closer as each day passes. They both been wrapped up in their duties and not so much each other.
"Don't worry about it. We'll fix it later." Ginny nodded and sat on the edge of the bed. Hermione stood leaning against the table wanting to be on her feet. She's the quickest when she's able to move around and think.
"What did Harry tell you?"
"Just that you came last night and wanted to talk to me." She nodded and looked around at nothing in particular.
"He's going to send an owl. Once he's found out that I left last night he's going to send one."
"Gin," Hermione called earning her attention again. "Why did you leave?"
"The new seer."
"Oh," she said softly as if she knew more than she really did. "Jocelyn?"
"Yeah."
"I don't particularly like that one. She was here for a few days."
"She was?" Ginny hadn't been aware of that. "What happened?"
Hermione snorted and rolled her eyes back as she recalled the memory. It made her uncomfortable to think about it. Then again it had moments that made her laugh. She had never seen Harry so uncomfortable while he was still trying to be polite. Two things everyone knows...one you don't mess with Harry Potter because he belongs to Hermione Granger. Number two, you don't mess with Harry Potter because he belongs to Hermione Granger. Okay so it's one thing, but it's one huge thing.
"She couldn't keep her precious little hands off Harry." Ginny couldn't help but laugh at the sour look on her friend's face. "And she even had the gall to try and take my position. Not only my position with Harry but that at camp as well."
"Exactly!" Ginny cried throwing up her hands.
"Really?"
"Well not that I have the same type of relationship with Malfoy that you have with Harry, but we do have one." Ginny sighed. "You know how long it's taken to get it where it is? It's not like I woke up and suddenly there were dying for me to be second in command either."
"Talk to Draco, Gin." The redhead's eyes widened in horror.
"Have you forgotten to put the charms up when you battle with Harry, Hermione?! I most certainly can not talk to him about this. That's why I came to you. You have to help me."
"What do you propose I do? Throw her into another camp?" She nodded vigorously.
"Yes!"
"You know I don't have any say in that."
"But Dumbledore does and Harry is under his orders. Then you can talk to Harry and have him tell Dumbledore to move her."
"You want me to use Harry?" Ginny shrugged.
"Not so much as using. He's your boyfriend and everyone knows how tightly he is wrapped around your little finger. You can at least mention it. Please Hermione," she whined.
"Harry is not wrapped around my finger." Ginny eyes widened and her mouth nearly hung open in pure shock.
"You cannot stand there and be serious! That man out there, sulking, would do anything for you. I know he already has done more for you than any man will." Ginny sighed softly. "I need a boyfriend."
"What about Draco?" Hermione asked quickly and, truthfully, very boldly as well.
"Excuse me?" The brunette shifted her eyes away quickly. It seems everyone but the two involved is aware. "Hermione," she said slowly. "What in the hell did you mean by that?"
"Easy access?" she asked innocently.
"Granger that was not funny at all! I'm going to go now and tell Harry that you had me come over just because you wanted to avoid spending any time alone together."
"Gin! You wouldn't." The redhead smirked and jumped and raced out.
"Harry!"
"Virginia Weasley!" Hermione yelled after her.
She raced across to where she last saw the raven haired man sulking. Sure enough he was in the same spot doing the same exact thing. Ginny flew at him knocking them both to the ground. She whispered in his ear before she pushed herself up and off of him.
"Agree with everything I say."
"Harry! It's not true. She's a jealous sceeve!" Both Ginny and Harry raised an eyebrow at the word. Sceeve? Neither had ever heard that one before.
"What the hell is a sceeve?" Ginny asked. She felt it was necessary since she was the one being called it.
"Oh. Well it just flowed out." Harry couldn't hide the smile that her red cheeks and announcement has caused. That's one of the many reasons he loves her. Of course it immediately earned him a jab in the ribs by his cohort.
"Please keep your made up insults to yourself Granger. Harry knows all about you trying to put him off. It's bad enough you don't want Harry Bloody Potter but to want to trade him off for Harrison?! That's low!"
"Harrison? I would never-I-no-ugh-he's not-Harry," she whined.
"The blimey strategist Mione? You want to be with the guy that plays with little army men all day?"
"No! Of course not! I want to play with the hero." Ginny had to bite down her laughter.
"Oh," he said knowingly. "So I'm a hero? You see me as that and not as Harry? Am I your boyfriend because you care about me or because of my scar?"
Hermione was struggling with her words as long as with her breath. She couldn't seem to dig herself out of this one. Of course both Ginny and Harry were fighting back their laughter. Seeing her struggle for once was very cleansing.
"Harry I-" she tried but was cut off by their laughter. Neither one could contain it any longer. They laughed so hard they had to lean on each other for support. Hermione smirked finally realizing she had been the butt of their joke.
"I'm going to kill the both of you!" she warned.
"But I'm the Hero," Harry chuckled holding his hands up in surrender.
"Not funny Harry," Hermione called out before chasing him.
Ginny plopped down on the ground hearing their laughter ring out throughout the camp. That's something that doesn't happen at hers. The only laughter she hears is periodical and short. She wishes that more people would lighten up. Malfoy especially. She knows he takes his responsibility as leader seriously, but if everyone else is frightened and uptight it's not going to be an appeasing next battle.
A loud hoot stirred her from her thoughts and caused her to look up into the sky. Sighing loudly to herself she pushed herself to her feet as the owl landed on her shoulder. On it's leg it held the letter she had known was coming. Taking it and unrolling it slowly she ignored Malfoy's owl nipping at her ear.
"Archimedes," she whined moving her ear away from his sharp beak. "Don't tell me you take his side as well." The owl caught her earlobe and bit down lightly as he answered with an affirmative.
"Like man like owl," she groaned as he took off. She dropped the vicious letter down to the ground and made her way back to her broom. Eventually she is going to have to go back. Just hopefully Hermione would have taken what she said to heart. Hopefully being the key word.
"Yeah," Ginny groaned. "Hopefully."
