Disclaimer: I do not own Harry, Hermione, Ron, Draco, and any other Harry Potter characters mentioned here. J.K. Rowling does, and if you didn't know that, why are you reading this?
A/N: Alright, this is my first fanfic piece, and I feel kinda silly. There will be a sequal, just so you know...if you care. And to all those reading this...I'm sorry.
Hermione was eating an orange in the cafeteria when Professor McGonnagal
walked into the room. "All right Fifth Years, listen up!" Hermione, Harry, Ron, Neville, and all the other 5th years looked up. "It has been decided that instead of finals this year, Fifth years will be going camping-" the 5th years cheered, everyone else started their complaining and groaning. "-In the Forbidden Forest. You will be paired up with someone else in your house, and each pair will be assigned a few acres of territory that is their own. No one, save for teachers can cross the territory lines. Not you, your friends, you "neighbors" anyone. We are attempting to pair students up, boy-girl, so you can learn to at least tolerate the opposite sex. You are not to leave the forest under any circumstances. This is survival!"
The 5th years didn't look so happy anymore. It had been raining endlessly for 2 months now, and nobody was exited about camping anymore. Professor McGonnagal continued, "all fifth years stand up, and I will pair you off. Let's see...you and you...you and you...you and-oh, you two would kill each other, so-you...you and you...." Harry and Hermione looked at each other, they had been paired together. Ron had been paired With Draco, as there seemed to be a shortage of girls. Ron almost threw a tantrum right there.
"You will be leaving tomorrow morning, students." Professor McGonnagal continued, "and you will be given the rest of today off to pack. I will meet you by Hagrid's cottage tomorrow at 6am." Professor McGonnagal left the room.
"Well," started Hermione, "this will be-interesting."
"Oh, yeah Hermione, fun...the great outdoors, campfires, songs, banshees, manticores...does it get any more fun?" Ron was obviously not happy.
"Shut up Ron!" Hermione snarled, "C'mon guys, let's go pack."
They tromped up to their room to pack, and went to bed early so as to get as much sleep as possible.
The next morning, the three met the rest of the 5th years by Hagrid's cottage, and the group started their trek through the Forbidden Forest. It was not raining at the moment, but the clouds loomed dark and heavy in the sky, just waiting for the right moment to drench the world. Professor McGonnagal and Snape started assigning territories for each pair.
"Mr. Potter and Ms. Granger, I believe we have reached your neck of the woods." Snape sneered as he pointed to what looked like the most dismal part of the forbidden forest. The trees loomed high overhead, totally blocking out the sun, and Hermione could see a bog with purple steam rising up off of it. Ron gave them a pitying glance before he went back to feeling sorry for himself. "Well, go on, or have the Gryffindors lost their bravery?" Snape seemed especially pleased.
Harry grasped Hermione's hand (she was pretty sure it wasn't to comfort just her) and the left the rest of the party.
"Let's find a clearing to put our house," said Harry. Hermione nodded.
When they a clearing that had a little bit of sun (not a lot, only a dime sized area) the set down their packs and took out their wands.
Dwellingo!
A small log cabin appeared. Hermione and Harry stepped inside. There were two beds a small bathroom, and...nothing else. "Let's make this place more homey," Hermione suggested. She pointed her wand and said
Furnicious!
Nothing happened. "Hmmm...they must have put a stopper spell on our wand. That sucks!"
"Well, at least we've been raised muggles," Harry pointed out, "imagine Ron and Draco now!" Harry started laughing.
"This isn't funny, Harry! We have to go find something to eat. Do you know how to hunt, or fish?" Harry shook his head. "Ok, well my dad taught me how to fish, so I'll try to find something in that bog we saw on the way here, Ok?"
"What do you want me to do?" He asked.
"Umm...find any vegetation that looks edible, like berries." Harry's shoulders slumped, Hermione knew he thought of that as "girly".
"Lets meet back here in one hour, ok?"
"Fine..." Harry stalked off grumbling.
Hermione strolled down to the bog and looked around. It was dark, murky, and still had that strange purple smoke coming off of it. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Hermione saw movement in the water. It looked big. That could make dinner for the whole week! She stripped off her clothes and jumped into the muddy water to try and get it. It wasn't until she was in the center of the bog when she realized that wasn't the smartest thing she had done in her life. She began to swim back, when she felt a thick, wide noodlelike thing wrap around her waist. She struggled to keep above the water. "HARRY!!! HARRY!!!" she cried, hoping he could hear. Then, the dizziness she was starting to feel overwhelmed her. She knew that within a couple of seconds she would pass out. The last thing she heard before she totally blacked out: "Hermione? HERMIONE!"
