When Charlie woke up his head started pounding. "Hah.. " he groaned how much did I drink he thought and other side of the bed was empty.
  She maybe in kitchen he thought and went bathroom.
   While looking at mirror last night events flash up but he can't remember clearly. He thought of asking Hermione and again last thing he remembered that she was dancing with others. He sighed " I hope I didn't    cause her any trouble".
     Downstairs he found Hermione reading the materials he brought for her. Seeing me she got up and went to kitchen, he went near the dining table but still looking at her hesitately whether to ask about last night or will she tell him something that happened.
    She simply served me hangover soup which he needed. After he had it felt refreshed and thanked her. Then she informed him that she needed to visit the schools to make her decision.
      He told her that he can accompany her and asked her to get ready.
       He thought to himself that yesterday nothing happened if not Hermione would have said something withthat he went to get ready.
       Charlie got ready and took his broom waited for Hermione.
         Then she came downstairs with her backpack.
         " Shall we go?"
         " We can but ... Can't we apprate?" She asked eyeing the broom.
          "We can but broom will make it lot easier as we can't directly apprate into schools" he replied
            " Hop on"
    She hesitated. Charlie turned and found Hermione still rooted in the same place. Then it striked him
             "Hermione are you scared of flying?" He asked.
              "No... never let's go " she said without moving. From her face he got to know the truth and he also remembered Ron mentioned it once so he put away the broom.
               She is this scared of broom how will she react if they traveled on dragon he thought and smiled himself.
               "Ok, let's apprate Hermione"
               " Is it okay? We can fly I'm not scared but if you insist we can apprate"
              He smiled at her and grabbed her hand suddenly.
At first. She was shocked then both landed in outskirts of some forest. She hurriedly moved away from him but she tripped. Before she fell down a hand securely holding her waist, her heart beating crazily due to their closeness.
     "Are you okay?" He asked
     "Yes" she replied closing her eyes and they separated.
       They walked a few steps and found a carriage that goes to " Luliu Hatieganu healing school"
