HAPPY CAMPER

Chapter one: Friday

Draco's POV

I don't think I can sigh or grimace any more than I already am. I hate this stupid class. Muggle studies. Ugh. Why in Merlin's balls would I ever want to study a bunch of useless muggles? I'm only taking it for the easy O. At least, I heard it would be easy. From a muggle born. I'm an idiot. And I'm failing this bloody class. To be fair though, I didn't know he was muggle born at the time. Maybe I can threaten the professor into raising my grade? No, of course not. He'd squeal to McGonagall. I don't fancy spending every night for the rest of term in detention. I guess I could just ask for extra credit. Then threaten that stupid mudblood to do it for me. Perfect.

"Merlin, you're moody today. One minute you look pissed then the next you're smirking. What's up with you?" Blaise. My best friend and biggest pain in the ass. Besides Potter and his clan of circus freaks, of course.

" Just plotting my revenge." I wrote back quickly on the parchment Blaise slid my way. He was sitting next to me and we were in the back of the classroom, but I swear our teacher is half bat or something. He can hear everything. Sometimes I get the creepy feeling that he can hear our thoughts also. With all the freaks that have taught here over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if that were true.

"Mr. Zabini and Mr. Malfoy, do pay attention, won't you?" I sigh again and mumble an apology. "I have big news for all of you, so listen up!" He had a stupid grin on his face. This was not going to be good news. I could already tell that much. "As you all know, we have been learning about American muggles recently." Was that really what we were learning about? I thought the subject had been mountain trolls. Americans are the worst sort of muggles. Primitive, uncultured, and uncivilized. " As you may not know, it is a spring and summertime tradition for them to go camping. If you don't know what camping is, it's when a group of people get together and spend their time in nature. At night they sleep in tents and during the day, they cook over a fire and go hiking and swimming. Things like that." Why on earth would anyone elect to sleep outside? "I've decided that we will go on a field trip to America and go camping! How does that sound class?" He was overly happy about this. Same with the rest of the class. All clapping and cheering. Blaise and I, being the only two pure bloods in the class, besides Weasley, were not happy at all. Nothing about this sounds appealing to me at all. "Settle down. Settle down class. I know you are all excited. As am I, however, we need to go over a few important items."

I hate my life. First of all, this trip was starting Monday. Which was two days from now. We would have to turn in our wands to our idiot teacher, board a muggle airplane, sit there for twelve twelve hours, drive another hour to this damn camp ground, set up our tents by hand, and then finally be permitted to sleep. Oh, and we will be sleeping on the damn ground! This is just cruelty. If I didn't need this project in order to pass I would stand up right now and tell the professor to go fuck himself. Maybe I'll just do it anyway.

Harry's POV

Bloody brilliant! This camping trip is going to be awesome! Being away from school on a mini vacation, doing nothing but sitting around with my friends. What could be better than that? Not much that's for sure. Except for Hermione coming. She wasn't in our class. Being the perfect student she is, felt it was wrong of her to take a class that would require almost no effort from her in order to get good marks. Oh, well. It's her loss. I'll just have to find another way to sneak away from Ron if there's a sexy boy who needs my attention. I've never kissed an American. I wonder if it's any different.

"Earth to Harry!" Ron was waving his hand in front of my face. We were in the corridor now, on our way to lunch. I smiled at him, hoping he wouldn't ask what I was thinking about.

"You nearly ran into three different people, mate. What were you thinking about?" Fantastic.

"Um, what?.. Oh, I was just thinking about the trip. I'm so excited! Its going to be great." Smooth. Whatever, it got him thinking of something else.

"Yeah it is! Let's go tell Hermione!" Its a good thing we were already at the Great Hall doors. Otherwise Ron would have expected me to run with him through the school. Which would NOT have happened. If he wants to make a fool of himself, that's fine, but he is not taking me down with him. I caught up with the couple a minute later.

Draco's POV

I was re reading my letter for what seemed like the hundredth time.

Dearest Mother,

I have an urgent issue to discuss with you. My Muggle Studies class is going to the United States on Monday to go camping. This is an atrocity! A complete outrage! I urge you to speak to McGonagall and get me out of it. Please.

Love, Your son,

Draco

Instead of spending my lunch hour eating, I was spending it trying to get out of this god-for-saken trip. I doubted it would happen, but I could always try. I attached the letter to my personal owl and watched as it flew away. Putting my hands in my pockets I made my way to the Great Hall. Sending the letter didn't take as long as I thought it would so I might as well grab a bite to eat before Double Potions.

"Draco!" UGH. Pansy. What a miserable excuse of a girl. She's always hanging off of me as if we were dating. She wishes. She's missing a couple key things in order for me to be interested. I just sat down to the Slytherin table when she decided to wrap herself around me. "Drakie where have you been?" I had to scowl at her butchering of my name and her whiny voice.

"Not that it's any of your business, but I was in the owlery. Now get off of me, you cow!" I wrenched her arms from around my neck and shoved her a few inches from me. Blaise, who I hadn't noticed beside me before now, laughed at the insult. I smirked at the shocked face Pansy was pulling. It soon turned into anger as she stomped out of the Great Hall.

"Careful, mate. She's going to murder you in your sleep one of these days."

"At least I'll be rid of her for good then." We ate our meal in companionable silence, then made our way down to the dungeons for Potions.

Let me know what you think and if you think i should continue! thanks! :D
