She touched her lips gently, before reopening her eyes, to see Draco there. She was speechless, nothing came out of her mouth, even when she tried. He stood up and walked up to another rock, with a jagged peak. He climbed to the top and looked out to the scenery below, his hair (which surprisingly wasn't slicked back) flew in different directions, confused as the wind ran through it. Her legs finally allowed her to stand up and she walk until she was next to him. She pulled his hand out of the jean pockets, and slipped her hands into his.
"One more chance," she whispered, "Please don't screw this one up."
He turned to look at her. He brushed away a strand of her hair that escaped from the ponytail that hung from her head. He nodded, and leaned in to kiss her again, when one of their groups returned yelling and screaming that they found every item. The couple pulled away from each other before the third years could question them. Within seconds of their arrival, another group came back and another and another, until the 5 groups united back into one. Quickly they sorted out their tools and began to plan out the trap, and who would do what part. No one took charge, but everyone had a role to play. Draco and Hermione stepped back and watched their two groups put together what looked like a cage with food inside of it. They had only 15 minutes to lure the mountain creature into the cage before time was up. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Minutes passed by with no avail. Hermione looked at Draco, and Draco looked back at her, both reading each others minds.
' They're not gonna finish, and they're gonna be so upset,' she thought. She glanced at the groups lingering expressions, then looked at her watch. 1:53pm...less than 10 minutes to go.
"Is that it?" A hufflepuff girl squeeled. Everyone leaned in closer and squinted in order to see a tiny creature that resembled something like a mountain lion.
"Are you sure that's it?" Hermione whispered in Draco's ear. He shrugged, wearing the same confused expression that everyone was wearing. The tiny animal walked over to the dead food and sniffed it. Then it opened its mouth and let out a terrifing roar that echoed though the mountain peaks. Everyone covered their ears, hoping not to go deaf. When the creature closed its mouth, each and every wizards and witches (including Draco's and Hermione's) jaw dropped to the floor, shocked at the huge noise that came out of this tiny thing that was no bigger than a thumb! The creature took a bit out of the food, then shockingly transformed into a exquiste unicorn. No one spoke a word. They were all too shocked to say anything.
"Wow," Draco muttered, "They did it."
"You said it," Hermione whispered, "You said it."
Then as if right on cue, everyone burst into cheers, hugging and congradulating one another. Before leading her group back into the forest, Hermione turned to Draco and whispered, "I'll meet up in my tent for dinner okay?"
He only nodded, then she turned back to her group.
"Okay gals...back to the forest with Ron's group!" She called out. The rest of the day went perfect for Hermione and her group. Her group was nearly flawless, save one mishap with Hagrid's group, where they had accidently conjured up an enemy of the 3-tailed Squid rather than a friend. Otherwise Hermione's group went back to camp at 7pm, satasfied. Dinner was to be served at 8, giving everyone the chance to take a shower and freshen up from their long day. Everyone lugged back to their tents and lined up for the showers. The leaders had their own private bathrooms in their room, so Hermione was able to soak into a nice, hot bath, releaving her of any problems that she had that day. She was about to get out when she heard a knock on her door.
