-Flashback-
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…
-End of Flashback-
"Uhm. Alright then, since were going to be partners, I think we better start respecting each other." Hermione said in a take-charge voice.
"Whatevew. As wong as I get a good gwade, I'm happy." Draco snapped.
Hermione was quite disappointed, she hoped for Draco to respect her back. "Well, I wanna get a good grade too, so I think we better start working together…with respect." She ended, adding that last part seeing Draco smirk. They were quite the intelligent bunch of children.
"Fine then. I'w wespect you bucktooth." He replied.
"Scuse me, but respect isn't calling each other names, it's respect! Ugh. I mean, D-draco, it's about not making the other person feel bad." She snapped. Looking at him closely for a moment, she found that his eyes filled with sorrow. She wondered why.
"Oh awwight Buck-" Draco started, but was cut of by an angry Hermione, "-I mean, H-hewmione. Lets get stawted, eh! Wook! Wewe being weft behind!" he almost shouted.
They ran after the group, hoping that someone would notice they were gone and stopped to wait for them. But they didn't. But luckily, the group stopped at the dinosaur section of the museum. Draco and Hermione ran to them quickly, joined the line, and decided to pretend that nothing happened.
"Teacher! Teacher!" a student, named Marco, who had a bit of something for Hermione asked, "Can I get a bone?" eyeing the enormous structure of a stegosaurus.
"NO dear." Ms. Jen said, emphasizing the no. What trouble these kids can get into. She sighed. She loved this job. "Now class," she continued, "look at your worksheets then look for the dinosaur section." She waited for all of them to find it then she started again, "then answer all the questions under that. You can walk around the whole dinosaur section but NO running. And stay in the dinosaur section. Start!" she smiled.
Hermione started walking around, trying to pull Draco with her. Draco, on the other hand found a comfortable place on a bench and sat down. It seemed like he didn't have any intention of helping with the worksheet.
"D-dracooooo. You really must stand up and help me." Hermione implied. "You can't possibly stay there…besides, I'm gonna tell teacher that you didn't help." She ended.
Ugh. The bucktooth has a point. Ow. Wait. I hafta call her Her-hermione now. I might as well help. She might tell the teacher! Draco thought. "Oh awwight. Whatdowehavetodo?" he said quickly, eyeing the room.
Hermione knew that she could get some work out of this kid. "Alright," she said, putting on her take-charge voice, "we'll answer question number one first. Let's go over there, to the steggy." A/N: Which means Stegosaurus.
Wow. For kindergarten students, they seemed advanced. But luckily, most of the words were easy to understand, and if they didn't understand a word, they'd drag Ms. Jen to explain it. Cries of "Teacher! Teacher! Help meeee!" were heard. Fortunately, they were the only people in that section.
"Hey Hewmione, wanna wet me wwite?" Draco asked, getting used to this respect thing.
They were in the third section out of five for their fieldtrip, and they were having fun. Draco and Hermione got used to the respect thing, and became sort of friends.
"Sure Draco. Here." Hermione said, handing the paper and pencil to Draco.
"Thank you Hewmione." Draco smiled.
Hours past. It was time to go! Ms. Jen gathered all the students' worksheets and in two straight lines, they walked back to the bus. Students were expected to sit beside their partner and just sit there until they got back to the school. They were given free juice and jelly ace. They got to the school onetime, with anxious parents waiting for their children.
Once off the bus, the children immediately ran to their parents, hugging and explaining how wonderful their day was! The parents thanked Ms. Jen and brought their children home, happy that it was a Friday.
The only children left were Draco and Hermione. Draco was surprised that Hermione would still be here, Hermione herself was surprised too. Ms. Jen walked towards Hermione and said,
"Hermione dear, I'm afraid that your parents will be a little late. They had an emergency call from one of their patients. I guess you'll have to wait with Draco here." Ms. Jen explained.
Hermione put on a pained look, she was afraid her parents wouldn't be here. But Ms. Jen assured her that it was okay.
Hermione took her seat beside Draco and they started talking, both waiting for their parents to come.
A/N: Ohmygee. Sorry. Whattalamechappie. :( The respect thing! Hahah. I got the idea from another one of my stories, which I never completed. )) R&R pleaaaase. :)
