1 Chapter 2
A/N: I really don't remember if I put a disclaimer on the last ones or not, so I'll put one on this. I don't own it. Um… this chapter is going to be a cool one, promise, so I'll shut up and let you read. Remember to review!

As Ginny looked around the forest, she could hear birds singing sweetly in the trees. This did nothing to improve her mood. She could hear Lavender and Neville discussing where they should set up camp, and stepped in to say they should look around for a source of water to bathe in and things like that.
They started off when suddenly they heard a noise coming from a nearby bush. Ginny, being the only one not to cower in fear, moved the branches only to find Harry and Hermione… making out. This was very devastating for Ginny, because of her crush on Harry, but she covered it well. Harry tried to explain their situation, to no avail; they had all seen it. Hermione sat with her head in her hands, most likely trying to hide her red face.
"Well… um… er…" Harry stuttered, trying to think of an excuse.
"It's okay Harry, we understand," Lavender said with a giggle and a wink, "we won't tell anyone."
"Do you have a place to set up camp yet?" Ginny said, trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, it's right near this stream, really close by." Hermione said, thankfully.
"Can make camp near you?"
"Sure," Harry said as he led them to camp, discreetly joining hands with Hermione.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where have you been all this time?" Ron asked, as they came back to camp.
"Um… well, we met Ginny, Neville, and Lavender and we talked for a while, and they decided to say with us," Harry explained.
"We don't even need the extra tents because I can use an enlargement spell to make two of them bigger and have a boys tent and a girls tent." Hermione said, explaining another one of her brilliant plans.
"That's a great idea! It'll be like a slumber party! This'll be so much fun!" Lavender squealed.
Ginny started to get a headache just thinking about putting up with her, except for the fact she makes up great pranks they could use on the boys.
Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted with another rustling noise from a prickly bush, followed by a profanity.
'Well, gosh, if you're stupid enough to walk through a prickly bush, then you deserve to get scratched,' she thought as a figure stepped out of the foliage.
"What're you doing here Draco? Looking for trouble? Where are your stupid body guards?" Harry said standing protectively in front of Hermione.
How blind was she to not notice what was going on between Harry and Hermione?
"You mean Crabbe and Goyle? They got eaten by bears," he explained calmly, as if they had just gone out for a walk. She suspected he was lying, but why?
"I was simply looking for someone to stay with, since I obviously can't be with the people in my group, but I suppose you wouldn't enjoy my company."
"You can stay with us, Draco, Harry's just trying to protect his girlfriend," Ginny said, afterwards regretting it and wondering why she did.
"Ginny! You loud mouth, you weren't supposed to tell them that!" Lavender said among all the shocked faces.
"Harry, why did you tell them before me? I'm supposed to be your best friend!" Ron yelled, among other shouting voices.
"Ron, we didn't tell them, they found out, they saw us."
"Yeah, it was pretty obvious Weasley," Draco said with a smirk.
"Why don't you all calm down, it's not a big deal, you really weren't doing a very good job keeping it a secret, and why would you want to anyway?" Ginny exclaimed.
"She does have a point, it's not very romantic to keep things like that a secret," Lavender said, agreeing with her.
"Alright, it doesn't matter anymore, you all know now, so just chill," Harry said, "I 'm glad you find this amusing Malfoy."
"Yes, it is very entertaining, kind of like a soap opera."
"Where's Neville?" Hermione said, changing the subject again.
Suddenly they hear a scream coming from the forest on the other side of the stream.
"I'll bet you did this Malfoy, trying to distract us while you captured Neville," Ron said, angrily.
"I think your sister was the person doing the distracting, and why on Earth would I want with Neville, anyway?" Draco retaliated.
They then heard the crunching of leaves and turned to see Neville running through the woods chased by a boy with am uncooked turkey stuck on his head. The turkey-headed boy kept running into trees because, well, he couldn't see where he was going, what with the turkey covering his eyes. But he managed to keep up with Neville, he'd put on a few pounds over the years, and let's just say he's not the star athlete in Hogwarts. (If you would like to know about the turkey head story, see the A/N at the end of this chapter.)
After a moment of silence, Harry commented,
"I think we need to go look for him, he may be in trouble."
"I'm going with you Harry, you don't need to be alone" Hermione added.
"Let's go then," Harry said as they left camp.
"Um… didn't Neville go the other way?" Lavender commented after they were out of sight.
"I don't even want to know," Ron sighed, looking hurt his best friends had left him out.
Lavender, sensing this, said "It'll be okay Ron, they won't leave you out of everything, they just want time alone, I think. Do you want to come with me to find things to make a fire with? It's getting dark out."
"Okay," Ron said with enthusiasm, as he walked with Lavender into the woods.
"Wait! What about me? Great, I'm alone again," Ginny said to herself.
"Well, thanks for realizing I'm here." Draco replied, slightly angry,
"Are you staying with us?"
"Well, I suppose so, your brother and Potter seem to… preoccupied to care."
"Well, it's fine with me. Hermione did an enlargement spell, or something like that, on the tents, so you'll be sleeping in that tent with Harry and Ron."
"If they don't end up sleeping somewhere else," Draco said, almost seeming jealous.
"That's uncalled for, they're way too young for that."
"Only making a suggestion Weasley."
After a moment of silence, Ginny replied, "You know you're either going to have to start calling me Ginny or my brother Ron, because it would start getting confusing to call us both Weasley."
"Okay then, I'll call Ron, Weasley, and you Red."
"You're ever so nice, did you know that?" Ginny said sarcastically.
"Just don't tell anyone. Well, are you done with your yapping now, or can I go put my stuff in the tent?"
"Well, I'm done with you for now, so you may go."
"You're funny, Red, really funny," Draco said as he went into the tent.
'I guess I better start getting unpacked too, it's gonna be a long two weeks. The funny thing is, it wasn't actually that bad talking to Draco. I guess that's a good thing, since I'm gonna be alone with him a lot during this trip.'
A/N: Alrighty! That was a nice long chapter! About the turkey head thingy, it's a joke between me and my friend Flamingogirl_453. (Yeah, she's the one who helped me write some of my other fics.) And if you want to know I'd be glad to tell you, but I'm tired of typing now, so you can just email me at roseflame17@hotmail.com and put something like fanfiction.net or your fic in the subject line, or you can email me at roseflame17@yahoo.com, whichever you want. Well, I'll be writing more soon. Please Review!
