Will Things Ever Be The Same Again? By Emma





Spoilers: Harry Potter and the...PS, C.o.S., P.o.A, G.o.F.





Disclaimer: You know I don't own it...don't you?





A/N: Ola! Hey! I know I said that I wasn't going to put another chapter up until I got 25 reviews...but let's change that to I won't put another chapter after this until I get 25 reviews.





So yeah, thanks a lot to everyone who reviewed...eventually when I get the chance, I will officially thank everyone. Oh well, and yeah. So here's the chap.





Dedication: This chapter is in loving memory of Richard Harris. Who died tragically this past Friday. If you don't know, he played Dumbledore in the ever popular Harry Potter and the Philosoper's Stone and the upcoming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We will always remember ye. Rest in Piece! * puts down little white rose on mock grave *





Also to my irreplaceable Matt. You have been a constant annoyance in my life and I thank you for it! This ones for you, and I hope that it converts you from Harry/Draco to at least some Draco/Hermione.





And to my cats. They annoy me so much all three of them....Hercules, Nutmeg, and Matt (yes the same matt as b4 * grins evily *) But I love them anyway.







Ok..enough dedications..on to the chap.





Last time on, [I] Will Things Ever Be The Same Again? [/I]





[I] They waved good bye a final time. And apparated. Again wondering if they'd see the wonderful town containing so many fun memories again. [/I]





Chapter 4: Fun With Friends or EEEWWW!!





"Eeeewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!" cried Hermione, Padma, Ginny, Angelina, Katie and Emma. They had apparated to France alright, right into a swamp. Well, the girls had, the guys seemed to have successfully apparated themselves onto dry land.





They were rolling on the ground laughing at the mud covered females.





Draco wiped a tear from his eye, "Well Hermione, now what I have been saying all along is true, you're a muggleborn covered in MUD!!! Hahaha----" He was cut off by an angry brunette grabbing his arm and pulling him into the murky depths.





"NOW WHO'S THE [I] MUDBLOOD[/I]????" she screeched incredulously, as she dunked his head repeatedly below the surface.





"Ok, Ok Uncle uncle!!!" He splurted, as she prepared to submerge his now brown head below the water again.





"Are you sorry??"





"YES, YES!"





"Ok then." She pulled him into a standing position. She walked past him calmly. And calmly pushed him headfirst back into the swamp.





The dry males began laughing at their partner's misfortune. Their corresponding females glared at them. Katie lunged at George, covering him with swampy murk.





Ginny gave a Xena-like screech and took a flying leap at the black haired prodigy.





Emma shyly smiled at Oliver. He smiled back thinking, [I]this flirtacious cutie wouldn't make ME all muddy.would she??[/I] He grinned shaking away doubts. But quickly reevaluated them as she too lunged, pulling him into the swamp with her.





Fred backed away but that didn't stop Angelina from sashaying towards him, pulling him to the edge and pushing him in.





Padma and Hermione gave each other a look, enlisted the aide of Draco to pull Ron and Justin into the pond with everyone else. (a/n, ok I forgot to put Justin on the list last chapter..sowwy.I don't feel like going through and fixing it.)







The two wimpy boys spluttered and splurted as they attempted to gasp for air.





The happy group splashed and played. Forgetting just for a while why they had gotten into this "mess" if you will.





~*~*~







"Phew! That was fun!" cried Fred as they waved their wands and dispelled the dirt from their robes.







"Yes it was...." Hermione started, before suddenly remembering why they were in France in the first place.





An unsettling silence fell over the group. Broken as always by Emma.





"Well, nothing we can do about it now. Let's break off into our pre-decided groups and head off for the towns."





They opened the envelopes they had been given before they left for France. They had a group number on them.





The following people received .....







[I] Hermione Granger, 1, Town A [/I]

[I] Ron Weasley, 1, Town A [/I]

[I]Harry Potter, 1, Town A [/I]

[I] Draco Malfoy,1, Town A [/I]

[I] Fred Weasley, 2, Town B [/I]

[I] Ginny Weasley, 1, Town A [/I]

[I] George Weasley, 2, Town B [/I]

[I] Emma Rolfe, 2, Town B [/I]

[I] Angelina Johnson, 2, Town B [/I]

[I] Oliver Wood, 2, Town B [/I]

[I] Katie Bell, 2, Town B [/I]

[I] Justin Finch-Fletchely, 1, Town A [/I]

[I] Padma Patil, 1, Town A [/I]







"Ok, group 1, go over there, group 2, over hear." Angelina, ever the organizer said pointing in both directions.





The 13 quickly moved to their designated locations.





Harry was shocked to find that he had been put into a group with Draco Malfoy. "Why am I cursed to constantly be plagued with the presence of Draco Malfoy?!" He asked the sky.





"HARRY!" Hermione cried, wagging her finger at him, "That was uncalled for, we have to work closely together for who knows how long. Now shake hands, make a truce, and BE NICE!!"





The two boys eyed each other warily but clasped each others hands and made a pact with their eyes.







"Good!" Hermione pecked both males on the cheek and turned to the others. They stared at her back in shock. Harry knowing that his peck was friendly, but her kissing Malfoy?!?! Something had to be up with that.







And Draco just had this stupid smile on his face. Staring at Hermione with a un understandable look.





And Hermione just had a devilish grin on her face. She felt their stares on her back and whipped around, "What?" She merely asked, an innocent look crossing her face.





"You...you....kissed a Malfoy Mione!!!" Harry said, shocked beyond all reason.







"Your point would be??"







"Yeah, Potter! What's wrong with kissing a Malfoy?" the trademark smirk crossing his face, "You didn't seem to mind last night....(a/n that was for all the Harry/Draco people out there...I don't really like them paired but what are you gonna do. Hehehe Matt that was for you ^_^)" He said, winking, just knowing that it would get Harry's goat. He had a whole field of them! (A/N ok...this is a lil joke cause every time we drive pass a field of goats he says "there are all your goats" because apparently my brother gets my goats all the time....moving on....)







Harry spluttered in shock, then seeing Draco's sneaky expression and the head movements in Hermione's direction he quickly understood. "Why yes Draco your right, there's NOTHING wrong with kissing a Malfoy..." and then he did something no one, (even the author) expected. He grabbed Draco's head with both hands and kissed him fully on the lips. (a/n EEEW! That was sos so so hard to write..ok it wasn't..* blushes * moving on.)





Hermione stared at the two lip-locked boys in shock, as did the rest of their group. The other group glanced over casually and all fainted when they saw the boy who lived locked by the lips with the son of the right hand man of Voldemort, having not heard the casual banter from the others.







Draco pulled away disgusted, but quickly recovered. "Ooh, Harry. Couldn't wait for more? I don't blame you. I'm ALL man under here..." He said, gesturing to himself. "So Hermione, Want some?" He said as he bent her down a la romantic dancing dip and kissed her passionately.





Harry now fainted, along with Ron. The others merely stared shell shocked at the two. The blond having just snogged one of her best male friends.





[I] Oh. My. GOD! I am kissing Draco Malfoy! Oh this is heaven....wait just a tick...DRACO MALFOY? HEAVEN? OH. GOOD. GOD. SOMEONE. SAVE. ME! I AM FALLING FOR A MALFOY..wait...falling for a Malfoy?!?![/I] Hermione fell limp in Draco's strong arms, leaving four conscious people and nine unconscious.







The four looked at each other, rolled their eyes and proceeded to walk over to the swamp, get several buckets of cold water and magically poured them over the unmoving aurors. They slapped hands in high fives as the others woke spluttering, their mouths filled with icky muddy water.







~*~*~





"Okay, we have to be mature here people." Hermione said, wiping the mud off her face as she flopped into her lazy boy chair. The thirteen had rented a huge flat in one of the more sophisticated of the small towns they were to be evacuating.





"I want a chair!!!!" Padma whined, her feet spread out across Justin's lap as they sat together on the love seat.





"Sowwy fwess oot." Ron said, walking in from the kitchen, his mouth stuffed full of Miss Vickies salt and Vinegar chips. (a/n shamless product placement)





"Translation: Sorry Fresh Out." Ginny said, snuggling into her own chair and flipping up the foot rest.





"Here have Hermione's!" Draco said as he scooped her out of her chair and pulled her onto his with her on his lap.





"Draco lemme go!" She said giggling as she playfully struggled.





"Come on Draco leave her alone!" Fred said, his arm around Angelina's hip as they snuggled on Fred's chair.





"And why should I? She doesn't look that upset...."





"Let her GO!" Harry said threateningly. Ginny stood up, walked over, and sat on his head. "Mnnee grrrt awf! Ayee haff doo gwo cwwl Dweko!" Came Harry's muffled voice from beneath Ginny's delicate butt.





"Translation: Ginny get off. I have to go kill Draco." Ron said, staring mutinously at Draco.





"What Weasley? Jealous? Did you want a kiss just like Potter?" Draco said, preparing to stand.





Ron screamed like a girl and ran down the hall screaming and dashing into his bedroom. "Oh shit Draco! He's going to kill himself!" Hermione yelled as she jumped off the blond hottie and dashed after her red headed friend.





"Ron!" They could hear her voice through the walls and the open door. "Put down the jagged Krusty-O Emma gave you from her trip to the museum of Simsons aftifacts!"





"NOOOOO! MALFOY SAID HE WANTED TO KISS ME!!! I CAN'T LIVE ANY MORE!!!" They heard he scream, torture evident in his voice.





"RON AMIDEAS WEASLEY! PUT THE DAMN JAGGED PIECE OF METAL AND GET YOUR ASS OUT TO THE LIVING ROOM! DO YOU REALLY HONESTLY THINK THAT MALFOY WOULD WANT TO KISS YOU???"





"But....but..."





"NO BUTS!!! OUT. THERE. NOW!!!!!!!!!!"





"Mione.your really really REALLY scary when your angry."





"WE AGREE!" Yelled those gathered in the living room.





"I HEARD THAT!"





The dissolved into laughter and wallowed the night away. Fighting over chairs and having some GOOD CLEAN FUN!
