-Flashback-

"Draco dear! How was your day?" she asked.

Meanwhile, Hermione was with her parents in her warm cozy home, recalling the events of the day, excluding her fight with Malfoy. She loved it there, and didn't want to give her parents any reason to stop sending her there. Even then she was an intellectual.

Somehow, both Draco's and Hermione's lives would collide in someway. Either in the future, or soon.

-End of Flashback-

The next day in school…

"Class! Line up in an orderly line! Were going to the bus already!" Ms. Jen shouted. It was hard to hear her due to the screams of the children, excited to go to the museum.

"MS. JEN!" one kid screamed, "are we gonna see real live dinosaurs?"

"No dear, were gonna see bones of real dinosaurs that lived in the past." She replied. "Now kids! On the bus! Don't forget your backpacks!"

"Uhm…teacher?" Anna, Hermione's friend, asked her. "I need to go potty."

"Ohkay. Do you need me to go with you?" Ms. Jen asked.

"No teacher." Anna replied solemnly, and went to the washroom. She bumped into someone along the way.

"OW! You dumb girl! Get out of my way!" Draco fired.

"Uhm, uhm, I-I'm sorry Draco." Anna was petrified by such and insult, and since she was really shy, that's all she could manage to say.

"Sorry doesn't cut it. You hit a Malfoy, you get hit by a Malfoy." Draco said and pushed her to the ground.

The only person who witnessed this was Hermione, who immediately ran over and told Draco to stop. Draco fired another insult at both of them and left. Hermione called their other friend, Isabella, and they both helped Anna up. Anna started crying. They brought her to Ms. Jen, who reprimanded Draco right then and there.

"Draco that is no way to treat a girl. Even a boy! That is no way to treat anyone! Say sorry to Anna." Ms. Jen demanded.

"S-s-s-s…" Draco found it really hard to say sorry, Malfoys were very proud people.

"Right NOW young man. Or else you can't go on the fieldtrip." Ms. Jen was very serious now.

"Alright," he mumbled, "S-s-sorry."

"Good boy. Now line up and wait for your turn to go on the bus." Ms. Jen perked up, immediately reverting back to her old self.

And where were Crabbe and Goyle? Certainly not there. Their parents didn't allow them to go, cause they might just cause more mischief, especially with that Draco Malfoy. They knew he was of wizard blood, so were they. But they didn't like the fact that his parents were the Dark Lord's minions. They didn't know that soon, they would be too.

After everyone was comfortable on the bus,

"Everyone here?" Ms. Jen asked, and then she took attendance. When she saw that everyone was there, she asked the bus conductor if they could go already, and they did.

The journey to the museum took a mere forty minutes, but it seemed like three or more hours. Shouts of "Teacher? Are we there yet?" were heard in every corner of the bus every second. Ms. Jen was very disturbed by her students' behavior. They were so noisy, yet again; they were also like that in the classroom. Maybe it's just the heat. Or the noise, or both! She thought to herself. After a few minutes, which seemed like hours, she couldn't take anymore, so she decided on a way to pacify their noise.

"Hey class! Lets sing a song! Sing with me kids! Ninety-nine bottles of milk on the wall…" Ms. Jen started. Sooner or later, the whole class started. Then finally, after what seemed like hours of singing, they were there.

"Alright class! Line up with your buddies and go down the bus slowly." Ms. Jen instructed.

Hermione turned to look for Anna, but she was already with Isabella. Both girls gave her an I'm-so-sorry-about-this look. She turned to Ms. Jen wearing a pained expression, seeing that only her and Draco had no partners. She approached Ms. Jen.

"Teaaacher? I've got no partner." She said, with her puppy dog eyes. Hopefully, she'd let Hermione stay with Anna and Isabella, instead of being stuck with the pompous Draco Malfoy.

"Oh no, that's not good. Who else has no partner?" Ms. Jen replied, a questioning look among the students.

A student walked up to Ms. Jen. It was Draco. Looking rather peeved with no partner, he walked up to Ms. Jen, knowing the consequences of his future actions.

"I've got no pawtnew too." Draco said sullenly.

"Good! Now you and Hermione can be partners!" Ms. Jen smiled, and continued with her instructions,

"Class, I'm going to hand out a worksheet to your partner, you fill this up every time we go to a part of the museum and you've learned something. Now everyone, stay with your buddies and walk to the entrance!" she ended.

This is going to be the WORST day of my life! Both Draco and Hermione thought as they were reaching the entrance of the museum. Half of both of them wanted to run away right this second, but the other half wanted to see what would happen…who knows? Maybe it might turn out OK after all…

A/N: Sorry, not much DHr here, this was focused on the fieldtrip. In the next chappie, there'll be some sweet, cute DHr moments, I promise. :) Do you guys have any suggestions for the names of their teachers? Please tell. Just put it in the review. Hahah. :) Thanks to log log log for pointing out the Crabbe mistake. Sorry about that.
