Herbs

"Now what?"

"Now we wait for them to come pick us up"

"And that will be when…?"

"A week before the beginning of school, so…about a month from now"

"Great." He was getting angry now, after all, he believed that no one deserved to be in this kind of situation, him least of all! And yet here he was…"we got their herb, right?  It took us two weeks of bloody research and another week of figuring out local folklore so that we could pick it WITHOUT anything nasty happening to us and then, at the last moment -! It had to happen didn't it?  Just my luck, isn't it? And on top of that – "

The other boy was looking worriedly at the cloudy sky, having tuned out his worst enemy (who he has been forced to spend his holidays with looking for some obscure herb that neither had ever heard of) almost before he had started talking.  That cloud there looked just a little to dark to be completely innocent…was it a rain cloud? Yup, it was.  He had to tell the ranting boy about it.  True, he positively hated his companion and would gladly strangle him anytime but it would be inhumane in the extreme not to warn him that it was going to rain.

"hey"

" – would think if he saw me like this.  Although there must be a cure for this atrocity, and my father would surely know it – "

"hey!"

" – and of all the people to be stuck here with, it had to be you.  As if it could get any worse now.  I have never, in my whole life, been so humiliated – "

"HEY!"

'the locals will tell you everything you need' they said. Ha!  And the locals could have at least warned us!  And that guardian!  I swear if I – "

"DRACO!"

"WHAT?"

At that moment, a mere second before the black haired boy could have replied, thunder sounded and rain began pouring.

A silver piglet looked reproachfully at a pretty green-eyed girl.

The girl just shrugged, and bent to take the tiny blue-eyed piglet in her arms before heading towards the inn where they were staying.

"Well, I WAS trying to warn you."

Author's notes: meh ^^ I noticed that there weren't any HP/Ranma cross overs so I wrote this ^^;;  actually, I want to make it something more, y'know, to see how Harry and Draco deal with their small problem ^^  yes, Harry fell in the spring of the drowned girl and Draco in the spring of the drowned piglet (P-chan! ^^) sorry, I couldn't resist.

Disclaimers: NOT MINE !  just borrowing.  Harry Potter belongs to J K Rowling and Ranma ½ belongs to Takahashi-sensei.  No money is being made, don't sue (I'm just back from a con so I'm so broke it's not even funny .)
