Het guys sorry it took so long for me to post! But this chapter took me forever to write
The air crashed with the tent's walls, the hail attacked the roof and the water entered the holes. The bottles filled with Hermione's fire and the heat and fire rune-stones Harry and Ron made were keeping the place like an oven but it didn't help, the fury of the winter was upon them.
Harry could feel the burn of the locket on his chest but the cold weather kept him tied to reality, and the fruity smell on Hermione's heir didn't allow his mind to work properly, let alone be controlled.
The 3 of them were all in the big bed with all the magical covers and as many stones and glasses they could fit in the room, Harry and Ron were back to back, Hermione and harry were face to face just staring at each other's eyes, they didn't have to say anything their eyes said everything. But slowly the rhythmic sound of the nature made them fall asleep.
The heat of the morning made everything better, still cold but warm enough to get out of bed. When Harry woke up he was alone with Ron in the bed.
Hermione was making breakfast, so he crawled out and went to the kitchen, the light from the magical flames and the fire-like glow from the runes in the darkness of the storm made her look even better than usual. He wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
-I'm guessing he's still sleeping- she said with a calm soft voice
-Yes- she got herself loose from Harry's grip and kept working on the food
-Is something wrong? -He asked responding to the distance she created between them
-I'm just not in the mood- she answered tiredly
-Ok- he said puzzled
The rest of the day went slowly and boring, the distance that both Hermione and Ron gave him made Harry think for the first time since he kissed Hermione (about a week and a half) about the horrocruxes and what to do next on their quest to defeat Voldemort.
Hermione had the locket so maybe that's why she was so distant and Ron wasn't the best companion on the -let's save the world but not eat meanwhile- mission…. Wait he was working on their plan to save the world not why his friends were so…. Cold today, the day and eventually the night went by and harry had done nothing to his plan so he decided to go to sleep.
Ron was in the couch, playing chess against the pieces that moved on their own, and Hermione was sewing the holes on one of her jeans, both of them lost in their own world until a thunder made her scream to witch Ron started laughing
-Asshole- she said with such hate that he was actually shocked -Sorry it- it- it's the locket- she managed to say in her embarrassment
-We have all been there- he said as one of his bishops got wrecked by the white queen - is nothing
She kept sewing the pants but when Ron's king was killed by the knight he spoke again -You do realize that you two are completely obvious right?- she pinched her own finger shocked by the question but remained calm
-Yes- she said not making eye contact with him, her eyes still glued to the needle – mostly me, he doesn't over act as much-
-You are more comical than him, kind of funny actually, I had to really think to know what he was hiding. But I know you guys since the first day so it wasn't so hard- he had started to rearrange the pieces to play a new game
- I figured as much, we were kind of obvious- the holes on the jeans were finished and she was thinking on making a new one so she could fix it
-I just have one question, wasn't he dating Ginny?, and if I recall correctly you were crushing over me—he said as his tower destroyed a white knight
His calm tone was the most disturbing thing, how wasn't he angry about this? He just kept playing that stupid game, so calmly how? Her finger already looked like Swiss cheese. As his bishop crushed the white king he stood up and politely excused himself to go to sleep.
She just stayed there in the cold, Ron and Harry were each in a different bedroom and she didn't want to be alone with neither so she just sited on the couch alone with her thoughts.
So I did a more of a dramatic chapter (you can tell what it could be by the name of the chapter) to make things interesting, I'll try to post again this week since I'm in debt with you guys! :)
