The days flew by and nothing special happened. Until I got a letter from the Ministry.

Dear Ms. Granger,

I want to kindly remind you of the fact the show is starting in two days. We expect you at the Ministry tomorrow at 11 am.

Sincerely,

Kingsley Shacklebolt,

Minister of Magic.

I was quit curious what they expected us to go through now. I figured I'd find out soon enough.

The next day I waited for Draco to arrive, it had become normal to wait for him by now. When Draco arrived and we walked in, everything was clear. We were going to be taught how to survive.

I suddenly wondered if this all really was about a TV show or if they wanted to get rid of us by just dumping us in a random foreign country we don't know… I looked around and saw a lot people with the same terrified expression. Then I looked at Draco. He whispered in my ear:

"Don't worry, we'll survive. Even without our wands."

It had a strange calming effect and I felt myself relax. He was apparently at least not going to try to kill me and chew on my bones or something disgusting like that… Of course we were going to get through this!

We had to follow all our lessons with our partners, so it was a good thing Draco and I got along. We hadn't had more arguments and Draco behaved well. I figured out he only tried to annoy me id he wanted something I wouldn't give him. I kept calling him Draco and he called me Hermione, or sometimes 'Mione, if he wanted something.

Our first teacher was called Leo. He'd always been a survival trainer, so he knew what he was talking about. He taught us how to make a fire without wand or a match and how to tie some useful knots.

Our next teacher was Mr. Gibbs. He'd been an army guy before he got injured. He taught us how to make a shelter and how to defend ourselves.

Our last teacher was Elena, a healer. She taught us how to take care of various injuries and which animals and plants we could or couldn't eat.

By the end of the day I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was sleep, but I had to have dinner first. Draco seemed to read my thoughts.

"You can have dinner with me, I'm going to eat out. We could as well get used to each other and get to know each other some more." he offered.

I was going to decline, when he pouted and I just couldn't say 'no' anymore. I agreed to go with him and he offered his arm. I took it and we apparated to a nice little restaurant.

I enjoyed every second of our dinner and our little chats, so I was disappointed when our evening was over. I really liked this new Draco Malfoy, he wasn't the school bully he used to be and he was actually a very polite, grown man. He was for sure more mature than Ron…

Draco walked me to the apparation point. We said our goodbye's when we arrived and I apparated home. I stumbled to my bathroom and quickly got ready to go to bed. When I was ready I jumped in my bed and immediately fell asleep.

The next day started late. I woke up at 11 o'clock and thanked God I'd taken a day off to prepare. I jumped out of bed and turned my radio on. Yay, Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' was playing! That was a nice beginning of the day. I turned up the volume of my radio and danced to the kitchen while dressing and started to prepare my breakfast. Luckily, I had a Silencing charm around my apartment, because my neighbors wouldn't appreciate my loud music…

I took the whole day to pack, unpack and then pack my bags again. In the end, I had one backpack packed with everything I really needed. When I was done I started to clean up my apartment, since no one would be there to clean it. I'd decided I wouldn't ask Ginny or Luna to do it, since they would both have enough to do in their own house and Ginny was pregnant. When I finished all the work I decided to prepare a bath for myself to relax, because I knew I'd need much energy to survive this show.

I woke early the next morning, to have some time to take a last shower and have a god breakfast. I prepared a smoothie for breakfast and picked some nice clothes.

When I arrived at the Ministry, Draco was already waiting by the entrance. Okay, now that I did not expect. I was always the one to wait for him…

He greeted me and we fell into a comfortable silence when we walked in the Ministry. For once, there weren´t cameras all around us and I felt relieved. The minister walked to us and greeted us happily, then he walked us to different rooms where were people to prepare us. In my 'team' were three woman and a man, called Leslie, Tiffany, Alice and Max. They gave me some comfortable and warm surviving clothes to wear and told me what I should do during this show.

When they were finished my hair was all put up and I was ready to go. The minister gave us all a surviving pack in two backpacks and told us our portkey was leaving in half an hour, so we could say goodbye to our friends and family. Harry and Ginny had come to say goodbye to me. I walked to them and Ginny immediately began to tell me I had to be careful.

"You know for sure this is a good idea? I mean, you could be eaten by bears or you could fall into a stream and drown or Malfoy could kill you and dump your body in the forest-"

"Ginny, I'll be fine! I won't be eaten by bears and do you really think I'm stupid enough to get killed by Draco Malfoy?" I smiled.

"I still think you should watch out." Ginny pouted.

"I will, but don't worry too much, it's bad for your little one." Then I turned to Harry.

"I'm going to miss you, Hermione, we're going to miss you." He told me.

I hugged the both of them and then turned to Draco again.

"Ready?" he asked.

I nodded and he took my arm and lead me to our portkey. The real adventure was about to start…
