Draco and Hermione Malfoy were currently on their honeymoon. They had decided to visit various places throughout the world, instead of just picking one destination, or hiding out in a privately owned house for the several weeks.
Luckily, where they were both Magical, they didn't need to take time out of their days for muggle transportation, and cause of that, they were able to squeeze in double of the areas. They had decided to spend a week or so in each continent; and instead of only visiting well known tourist attractions, they decided to venture out and also find hidden gems.
That was how, in their last few weeks of vacation, they found themselves in southern America. In honesty, they did stick out a bit in the Appalachian atmosphere, but they genuinely enjoyed the southern hospitality that they had received.
They had tried iced sweet tea - which Draco didn't particularly enjoy, stating it was too sweet, and too cold. They had experienced homemade apple pies, the woodsy scent in the mountain filled air, and finally, they were experiencing a southern get-together.
They had been invited by a waitress that overheard them stating they wanted to experience as much of the southern culture as they could, and had generously invited them to her family get-together that night.
When they arrived, they let the fresh scent of grilled burgers and hotdogs fill their nose, the sound of children running carefree throughout the lawn - dragging around clay and mud, and the sight of the adults gathered around a fire pit, some holding beers in hand. There was a large Red, white, and blue American flag waving in the front yard.
They joined in the fun banter easily enough, and soon had their bellies full with a cooked out meal, but soon, the fun began.
Two of the older males in the family pulled out two large slanted pieces of wood, both painted a bright royal blue, with the letters 'U' and 'K' painted on in white. They both had circles cut out near the top of the board as well.
One of the older kids, Jessica, also brought out 8 pieces of bags, they made a weird sound when she moved them; there were four maroon, and four vantablack.
The game that they had brought out was called 'corn-hole,' and two teams of two, which one play each standing by a board, had to try to get their four bean-bags into the hole, and earn the most points.
Draco who had already drank a bit too much, ushered him and Hermione up and stated that they'd' both like to play.
Seeing that they had never played before, they let them go first, to see how good they were at it.
Hermione, who wasn't that good at sports, only got two of her sacks in, while one landed on the board, earning her one point at least, while the other bag landed on the grass a few feet away.
Draco ended up getting three in a hole, with the last bean-bag landing on the board at least.
They gathered into real teams then, where Hermione and Draco ended up coming in second place for the night.
Both Hermione and Draco had genuine fun that night, with them both enjoying the close-knit, carefree celebrations of the night. Draco even vowed he was going to buy and bring back their own corn-hole set, determined to beat Harry at something.
Soon, it was time to go back to their hotel, where they would be going to a museum the next day.
