The next morning after breakfast, Dumbledore stands up and begins
"Good morning students, I know you have just come back from your Spring Break and trying to settle back into routine. However the Professors and I have organised a Field Trip. We have decided to give Year 4 and 5 a survival trip, (Year 6 and 7 have their exams and the rest are too young.) Which means, no brooms, no wands and no magic. It will be like Muggle camping, this field trip exercise will prepare you in life to be tough, flexible and resourceful. So now all of you know what is happening, all students who are not in Year 4 and 5 will now go to their lessons while I debrief more to Year 4 and 5."
There is a bustle of the other years leaving the Great Hall, and Professor Dumbledore waits until they have left.
"Muggle lover that Dumbledore" Draco mutters to himself, and Crabbe and Goyle agree.
Dumbledore speaks again "Right, Itinerary lists are being passed down along your tables, telling you what you must bring, and only these items, nothing else. You will leave in a week. Your wands will be given into us, I know this is a shock but it will be great experience".
"He's totally lost it!" Draco said dissaprovingly. Crabbe and Goyle again agree to Draco.
While Dumbledore continues on telling more about the field trip.
At break time in the hallway full of students moving
"You're gonna be working with Delta? In Snape's classroom?" says Jade Greenstone. (Ginny's best friend aswell as Hermione.)
Jade and Ginny had established a code, that instead of people over-hearing them talk of boys they liked, they would take the first letter of his forename and use the NATO alphabet for that letter. So 'Draco Malfoy' became 'D' which was translated into 'Delta', and so Draco became Delta in their conversations whenever they were around with other students. Harry became 'Hotel' and Ron became 'Romeo'. Ron's new name caused many hysterical laughs from Ginny and Jade in their conversations.
"Yup" replies Ginny unconcerned.
"He's Slytherin! He's the pure bad boy!" Jade points out.
"He's not that bad, he doesnt skip school" Ginny defending him.
"This is a boarding school, you cant skip school."
"He doesnt lie, he's honest."
"He gives his opinion on 'everything', especially if its bad!"
"He doesnt steal"
"He has no reason to, he's rich enough to buy everything." Jade again counters Ginny.
"Fine you win, he is kind of mean, isnt he?!"
"Duh!!I am kind of jealous of you though." Jade says to Ginny.
"What?"
"He's the bad boy and its very luring. It really is very sexy and his good looks is an added bonus. It's all that cool attitude and rugidness which is very hard to resist. But you feel that you can find some good in him and hope to bring it out and show his true good potential, you feel that you can uncover it and bring him into the light." Jade says in a kind of warped out phase.
"Woah, that was good Jade! You just have described my entire feelings, I DO like Delta. *Ginny pauses for a moment, as if she just realises she has feelings for Draco.* And how in the hell do you do that?!? You're like reading my mind!"
"I knew you liked Delta. I know you too well! But dont worry I wont say anything at all, not to Hermione, Romeo, Hotel or Delta."
"And its not that hard to read your mind, there wasn't much in there to start with!" Jade continued.
"Oh Ha Ha Ha" Ginny replied sarcastically. "You're gonna become a great psychiatrist one day!" Ginny added and Jade grinned.
At that very moment, not too far away from where Ginny and Jade were standing in the hallway listenening to only half the conversation, was Draco.
"Who the hell is Delta?" Draco wondered with slight jealously.
