"JUST TELL US WHERE WE'RE GOING!" a Slytherin boy called Alex demanded.
Professor Mcgonagall was ignoring the demands of the boy and continued to lead the way out of Hogwarts.
Professor Mcgonagall and Professor Snape had been called along, as head of Gryffindor and Slytherin they were first people Professor Burbage had asked.
Begrudgingly they accepted, but were soon regretting it.
"Where are we even going?" Draco asked dryly.
"No idea, just hope it's not boring" Rachel groaned.
The only person that seemed remotely happy to be going camping was Amy.
She was carrying not just her own rucksack but Rachel and Draco's as well.
To everyone's confusion they stopped at the Quidditch pitch.
"Right, this is where we're going to be setting up camp for the next 3 days" Professor Burbage said cheerfully.
There was groaning amongst the students.
"The Quidditch pitch, is this some sort of joke?" Draco asked angrily.
"I am NOT camping in the middle of the Quidditch pitch" a Gryffindor girl protested.
"Me neither" the girl next to her agreed.
"But Professor, I can see my dorm from here" Emily said pointing in the direction of the Gryffindor tower.
"Yeah, this is pointless. I'm out of here" Ron said turning to go back.
"You will be going nowhere" Professor Mcgonagall snapped. "20 points from Gryffindor for your lack of enthusiasm"
The Gryffindor's groaned angrily at Ron.
"Come on all of you start pitching up your tents around the middle somewhere, and remember, NO MAGIC" Professor Burbage said.
Everyone began to shuffle slowly towards the middle of the Quidditch pitch.
"OH AND ALSO" Professor Burbage called from the side of the pitch "REMEMBER NO BOYS AND GIRLS SHARING AND ONLY THREE TO A TENT"
Hermione gave Draco a smug smile and then began setting up her own tent.
Fifteen minutes had gone by and most of the students were struggling to put their tent up.
"I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to be doing" Draco said in a rage throwing a metal pole to the ground.
"Me neither" Rachel said frowning, as she tried to put two poles together.
Amy was sharing a tent with Rachel and wasn't being particularly helpful, much to Rachel's annoyance. But what was annoying Rachel most was the fact that her twin had managed to successfully build her tent before her and everyone else.
Emily gave a smug look towards Rachel.
Rachel scowled back at her then smiled.
"Help me" Rachel mouthed to Emily so the teachers wouldn't hear.
Emily shook her head and laughed then went inside her tent.
Draco was getting impatient. He started to shout at Goyle who was just staring at the metal pieces.
"HELP ME MORON" Draco shouted, throwing a piece of pole into Goyle's hand.
Goyle once again just stared at it.
"USELESS!" Draco yelled again. He sat on the floor his knees to his chest and his head in his hands.
Rachel smiled sympathetically over at Draco.
Amy had progressed slightly in the tent building; she had done half but she looked like she was on the verge of giving up.
"Look Draco" a squeaky voice said from behind Draco. "I've built my tent"
Draco ignored the voice.
Rachel saw to her disgust that Pansy had set her tent up to the other side of Draco's tent.
Rachel tried once again to help Amy and this time had more luck.
They finally managed to build their tent in 45 minutes which was ok compared to the rest of the group.
"Well done everyone! Now that wasn't so hard was it?" Professor Burbage grinned.
Rachel saw that the teachers each had their own very large tent, that was no doubt magical in some way.
It seemed Rachel wasn't the only one who had spotted this.
"Professor?" Harry asked "How come you get such big tents? And how come you used magic. You said no magic allowed"
"We're not the ones doing this exam are we Mr Potter?" Professor Burbage said raising an eyebrow.
Harry didn't say anything but looked angry all the same.
"Muggle Studies have joined with Care of Magical Creatures. And we will be arranging a trip through the Forest tomorrow to research the animals that live there" Professor Burbage said cheerfully.
At this only some people groaned, mainly the Slytherin's.
"I don't want to go around the forest. It's dangerous" a Slytherin girl snapped.
"Yes I'd rather not get killed" Goyle agreed and Crabbe nodded.
"No one will get killed, no need to panic" Professor Burbage said, all though there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"We'll see about that" Draco whispered to Rachel.
