Oh and I am currently looking for a beta as I am going back to college next week and I won't have time to write, edit and study for my A levels so if anyone would be interested please PM me and I am going to be updating on Wednesday's and Sundays, I'll shut up now so you can actually read the chapter :')

Chapter 3: First Impressions and Room Mates

Draco's POV

We finally got to the camp after the 7 hour flight. Not much happened really, I got put next to Granger but we didn't much speak except for when one of us needed the toilet or when we got our meal. I was a bit wary when I first went on the plane but during the flight it was fine. I didn't like taking off or landing but from what Granger said not a lot of people did. I did catch her looking at me and Pansy strangely on the train but let her think what she wants I don't care.

When we got there it was clear this place was a big deal in muggle America. It was huge; people were carrying every form of musical instrument going. I was actually glad I was a part of such of a big group; I couldn't hack being a kid that didn't know anyone. But even for these kids people where going up to them and talking and stuff. The director guy called brown came up to us he was shorter than me probably around 5 foot 11 inches and he had grey/brown hair.

"Hello guys, now would you all like to come into the room and I'll tell you what cabins you'll be in and get someone to take you to them so you can settle in." We followed him in a room with about 10 campers already there.

"Okay, Terry Boot, Seamus Finnigan, George Weasley and Theodore Nott you guys are in one room," Theo didn't look to bothered to be honest, Weasley just looked up briefly when he heard his name and then dropped it again. I know he lost his twin brother but we all lost people in that war not just him.

"Gregory Goyle, Neville Longbottom and Ernie Macmillan you are together." It was clear now that we were being split up why would McGonagall do this? Did she really hate us this much?

"Draco Malfoy," please anyone but Potter and Weasley, "Harry Potter," Okay it was official she did hate us, "and Dean Thomas."

"And finally for the boys; Justin Flinch-Fletchely, Ron Weasley and Blaise Zabini." Well this would be an interesting summer.

"For the girls, Hannah Abbot, Susan Bones and Padma Patil are in one cabin." That group seemed okay maybe the girls wouldn't be split up as bad.

"Cho Chang, Millicent Bulstrode and Ginny Weasley." I saw Weasley breathe in sharply, I vaguely remember Chang going out briefly with Potter, in 5th year I think.

"Parvati Patil, Luna Lovegood and Mitchie Torres." I saw a girl I have never seen before smile and wave at Lovegood and Patil and they returned the gesture. She must have been a muggle.

"Last but not least, Hermione Granger, Pansy Parkinson and Lavender Brown." I felt bad for Granger for being in a room with Brown more than I felt bad for Pansy. Even though I was very busy 6th year I wasn't completely blind and I think Granger felt sorry for herself too.

"Ok, now you lot have your rooms there will be guides that will take you to your rooms. If you want to prepare a song for the Rookie Jam tonight at 8, please sign up, please note that all campers will have to perform at some point during the first week." WHAT! I wasn't going to sing in front of everyone, I was just about to complain a long with most of our group before he shot us down saying "Everyone does it you are no exception." Well, my life was now over.

Blaise's POV

Around half an hour later, I left my cabin with Weasley (well not together but we left at the same time and where heading in the same direction). We went in to Draco, Potter's and Thomas's cabin and I sat on Draco's bed where I noticed Theo was already sat and Weasley went over to Potter's bed just as Longbottom came in.

"Malfoy, Nott, Zabini?" I heard Potter say my name and I looked up from the game of exploding snap I was having with Draco and Theo.

"What Potter?" I asked.

"Earlier you mentioned that you had no choice in this war? I don't understand, you how can you not have a choice?

"That's none of your business Potter," I replied turning back to the game but apparently Draco had other ideas.

"No Blaise, they deserve to know. We didn't have a choice because our parents brainwashed us when we were young. I got forced into the Death Eaters and so did Theo. I can't say that I didn't believe in blood purity when I was younger because that's all I knew; I thought that behaviour was right, correct. I carried that belief until 6th year when I actually became a death eater.

"Then I saw the murders and deaths and torturing for no good reason and if there was a good reason it wasn't good enough. I realised that everything they believed in was bull, but I couldn't get out of it. Thinking something and actually doing it, are two different things. I know it's selfish but I would have had a slow and painful death if he found out where my loyalties really lied. He wouldn't just kill me but my family, my friends anyone associated with me would be tortured and killed I couldn't let that happen.

"But now I regret it, my father is in Azkaban and I am finally free from that nonsense." I thought Draco was a bit naïve when he said that, as his father was only in Azkaban not dead and if he found out we were spending a week in a muggle camp he'd flip.

"Okay but what about Parkinson? She keeps going on about blood purity she hasn't changed." He asked.

This time I responded, "The thing with Pansy is that she never had to go to any of the meetings or kill or torture anyone, she got protected from all of that because she was a girl. So she has only ever seen it in theory never in practice."

"What about you Zabini? Where do you stand?" Weasley spoke up.

"Well I was never a death eater but my mum still believed in blood purity and I thought it was kind of stupid but I still had to keep up appearances." I replied and it was true, I only ever did it so my mum and whatever husband she had at the time wouldn't get suspicious. Her husbands were always pureblood and sometimes they were death eaters themselves. They never really got me involved though and for that I was very grateful

Mitche's POV

"Hello everyone welcome to the Rookies Jam." He paused and we screamed. "First of can we have Neville Longbottom please." Cue the screaming again. A guy that I recognised as my fellow roommates not quite boyfriend, came to the stage with a guitar. "Take it away Neville."

"Hi everyone, I am going to perform Missing You by All Time Low, this song is for those who had a bad past; this is your time to make it right,

"I heard that you've been
Self-medicating in the quiet of your room,
Your sweet, suburban tomb.
And if you need a friend,
I'll help you stitch up your wounds.

"I heard that you've been
Having some trouble finding your place in the world.
I know how much that hurts,
But if you need a friend
Then please just say the word

"You've come this far,
You're all cleaned up,
You've made a mess again,
There's no more trying,
Time to sort yourself out

"Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,

"Now don't lose your fight, kid,
It only takes a little push to pull on through,
With so much left to do,
You'll be missing out, and we'll be missing you.

"I heard that you've been
Having some trouble finding your place in the world.
I know how much that hurts,
And if you need a friend
Then please just say the word

"You've come this far,
You're all cleaned up,
You've made a mess again,
There's no more trying,
Time to sort yourself out

"Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,

"Now don't lose your fight, kid,
It only takes a little push to pull on through,
With so much left to do,
You'll be missing out, and we'll be missing you.

"Grit your teeth, pull your hair,
Paint the walls black and scream, "F*ck the world
'Cause it's my life, I'm gonna take it back,"
And never for a second blame yourself.

"Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,
(No, you can't cover up)
(One, two, three, four!)

"Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one (This ride is a wild one),
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can't cover up what you've done,
Now don't lose your fight, kid (Don't lose your fight, kid),
It only takes a little push to pull on through (push to pull on through),
With so much left to do
You'll be missing out, and we'll be missing you.

He was pretty good, all throughout the song he was looking over to a group of 5 people who I think he came with. It meant more to them I think than me, I made a mental note to ask Luna about it later. I don't think everyone else noticed that though because they were too busy screaming.

"Thank you everybody." He said nodding once in the direction of them five people and walked of the stage towards them.

Brown came back on the stage to introduce another musician, a blond haired boy who looked to be from that group came up on the stage. I remember the girls I room with mention he was called 'Malfoy', at first I thought it was just a unique first name but then Brown introduced him as 'Draco Malfoy', I thought it was strange that they referred to each other by their last names, I made a mental note to talk to Caitlyn about it, I didn't want to be the weird girl that asked to many questions.

Hermione's POV

When I saw Malfoy go on stage to say I was surprised was an understatement, I knew Brown said everyone had to perform at some point but I assumed he would just either bribe his way out of it or flat out refuse. I can't say I was ever one of the girls in our school that was in love with Draco Malfoy, I didn't even like him, at all. I think it was probably because he made my life hell for so long and I just hated him. At this point I knew I didn't exactly hate him anymore but I only found him tolerable nothing more. Plus I was still more than happy with Ron. Anyway back to the moment at hand. He went on to the stage and sat behind the large piano situated on the stage at the far left hand side.

"Hello, I am Draco Malfoy and I am going to be playing Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel,

When you're weary, feeling small,

When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;

I'm on your side, when times get rough,

And friends just can't be found,

Like a bridge over troubled water,

I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water,

I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,

When you're on the street,

When evening falls so hard,

I will comfort you.

I'll take your part,

When darkness comes and pain is all around,

Like a bridge over troubled water,

I will lay me down.

Like a bridge over troubled water,

I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl, sail on by.

Your time has come to shine,

All your dreams are on their way.

See how they shine.

If you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind.

Like a bridge over troubled water,

I will ease your mind.

Like a bridge over troubled water,

I will ease your mind.

Of all the songs I thought he'd do that wasn't one of them and I also didn't think he'd be able to sing it so well and play it so beautifully. I wondered why he chose that song and I came to the conclusion that it was probably the only muggle song he knew that would be respectable to play; as it turns out I was right.

Author's Note: Neville sang Missing you by All Time Low and Draco sang Bridge over troubled water by Simon and Garfunkel
