Hermione continued to read, then thought of Harry and Ron's invitation. It was almost 6pm now.
' Wow, time really flies!' She thought happily, gathering her book and roses. She walked back to the Prefect house, and put the roses in a vase. She went to the Prefect bathroom and took a quick bath. She chose a black skirt to replace to black jeans, but still wore the red halter top. Since her friends decided to have the dinner outside, in the February winter night, she chose a black fur coat (fake of course), to wear on top. It was 6:54pm when she finished putting on the finishing touches of the make-up that Harry and Ron gave her. She got up, and made her way down to the front of the castle. She peered out the front windows, and caught sight of a small hut, candles buring within. She opened the down, letting in a gust of blowing snow. She shivered at the cold, and hurried towards to small hut.
"Harry! Ron! Are you in there?" She called, before opening the flap.
"Oi! Hermione! You made it!" Ron exclaimed, his head poking out the flap, "Come on in!"
Hermione followed Ron into the magical hut. That was the thing Hermione loved about being a witch, tents looked small from the outside, but on the inside, they looked like cottages! This hut in particular had two rooms; a small kitchen and a large dining room. The table was decorated with red roses, and candles. The food smelt amazing!
"Hermione! Glad you could make it!" Lavender said smiling. Hermione greeted Parvati and Harry before chosing a seat next to Lavender. She thanked Harry and Ron for the gift, and she listened to Lavender and Parvati describe the gifts they got from Harry and Ron. She told them about her day, but left out the roses that were given to her by Draco.
"So are you guys ready for that camping trip with the third years?" Parvati asked the 3 best friends.
"Yup!" Ron exclaimed, "This is gonna be so cool! Well, except for the fact that Malfoy's gonna be there, but hey-" he shrugged, "Malfoy can't even ruin a trip like this!"
The group continued to talk about the trip, with Lavender and Parvati asking hundreds of questions. Two hours later, Harry and Ron began to pack up. Then after a swish of Harry's wand, the small hut disappeared. The five Gryffindors walked back to the castle, and while Harry and Ron walked their girlfriends to the Gryffindor house, Hermione made her way up to her room. She opened her suitcase, and looked over her checklist for the trip that Professor McGonagall had given the 8 seven years.
The next morning, McGonagall had risen the Prefects and Head boy and girl at precisely 8am. She informed them that the third years would be all meeting in the Great Hall in an hour, and that she wan't the 8 seventh year students to be down in the Great Hall by then. Hermione got up, and quickly added any extra items, including all of Crookshanks' little toys. She slipped on a pair of black track pants, and a red t-shirts with a golden lion on the front. She tied her hair up in a high pony tail, then went out to meet the rest of the Prefects. She was the only one really awake. Blaise and Lisa both had dark circles under their eyes, and Ron, Harry and Justin had poofy read eyes. She giggles slightly, before following Harry to the Great Hall. The third years were all seated nicely, and quietly with Professor Lupin and Hagrid standing up front. Professor McGonagall was talking to the witches and wizards, trying to seperate them into 10 groups. Hermione had a group of 10 girls in her group, from all different houses. She knew this was gong to be a problem from the start, considering that fact that Slytherin and Gryffindor would be together. The meeting continued until it was lunch time. Everyone went to their own buisness and by 3:15pm, the third years and their leaders were assembled in the front of the castle. Crabbe and Goyle were there with Malfoy, to see him off.
"Well Malfoy...good luck on the trip!" She overheard Crabbe saying.
"Luck?" Said a very confused Goyle.
"Yeah, cause Malfoy'll hafta spend almost a whole week with the mudblood," Crabbe jerked his thumb over to Hermione. Draco immediatly looked over at Hermione. He was torn between the two, so he looked at her, then back at Crabbe, and began to laugh so hard.
"Yeah, I don't know how I'm gonna survive alone in the wilderness with the mudblood, Potty AND Weasel!" Malfoy answered. The three Slytherins howled with laughter. Hermione's eyes went wide, her heart smashed into many little pieces. She turned away, and ran as far as she could from him, tears streaming down her face.
' I knew it! I knew it! How could I be so stupid as to believe he'd actually change?' She thought.
