I return all! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here we go to Scotland! Yay!

Pansy came to a screeching halt just outside the double doors of the mall. She flopped down on the edge of the sidewalk sobbing.

Ron burst through the doors and looked around frantically for some sign of Hermione. He quickly identified Pansy and turned to walk back inside to Hermione.

But at the sound of Pansy's crying he paused. He turned and cautiously went towards her.

"Pansy?" He touched her shoulder lightly.

"What?" She spat back.

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder sitting down next to her. She turned her head in to his shoulder weeping uncontrollably.

"Are you okay?" Ron asked into the awkward silence.

"Do I look alright Weasley?" She snapped.

"What happened?" He asked unphased.

"Draco.he.I don't know." She broke down again.

He stroked her hair. "I understand, Hermione did the same thing to me."

She looked up at Ron with green tear-filled eyes. He leaned his head to hers.

"What are you doing?" She whispered.

"I have no idea." He admitted before his lips met hers.

"Mr. Weasley!!!"

Professor McGonagall stood in a shocked stupor.

Ron looked up coolly. "Yes Professor?"

"You.are.in.trouble." Minerva stuttered.

Ron smiled. "Yes, Professor, I gathered that."

This caused Pansy to giggle.

Minerva face became a stern mask. "Get over here at once." She demanded hotly.

Ron winked at Pansy as he stood and walked over to the outraged teacher.

Meanwhile inside the mall Draco was inspecting a giant pretzel. "What exactly is this thing?" He said picking of a salt grain and studying it.

Hermione laughed at his stupidity. "It's called a pretzel."

"What's a prencil?"

This caused a second eruption of laughter to spew from the brunette. "It's not a prencil, it's a pretzel. Pret-zel." She annunciated.

"Knowing how to pronounce it doesn't tell me what it is." He retorted.

She shrugged. "It's to eat."

Just then the mall intercom sounded. "Help me someone, anyone! This man in black came in and." A loud thump sounded through out the mall and Snape's voice replaced the speaker's. "Pay no attention to that insane man's ramblings." He cleared his throat. "All of my students report back to the bus." There was a small silence. "You know who you are."

Hermione and Ginny burst into mirth until both were doubled over, unable to move. In fact, Harry and Draco carried them back to the bus where Ron and Pansy were waiting, looking shamefaced.

They boarded the bus for the fiftieth time and took off for Scotland. Draco looked around. "Um, where's Goyle?" He asked.

Ginny clapped a hand over his mouth. "Who cares? Let it slide and I will pay you." Draco raised an eyebrow, removing her hand from his mouth gently. She'd only succeeded in getting her hand there in the first place with the element of surprise. He held her struggling hand down with his. "Goyle is my servant. I can't just leave him."

"Dirt has a higher IQ than he does." Ginny reasoned.

Draco pondered. "Let's go professor I want to see those bagpipes."

Ginny smiled and mouthed "Thank you." He nodded in response as he sat down beside Hermione.

They landed some time later in Scotland. They got off the bus, all extremely curious as to what they were supposed to do in Scotland. Suddenly Hermione's eyes filled with horror as Snape produced a paintball gun from behind his back wearing an evil grin. "Now class, today we are going to play paintball." Hermione groaned and raised her hand reluctantly.

Snape's eyes landed on her. "Yes Miss Granger?"

"How are the teams going to be decided?"

Snape's mouth twisted. "I'm glad you asked. It will be girls against boys."

Hermione slapped her hand to her forehead. Ginny was beginning to look very concerned.

"That's not fair!" Hermione shouted.

Draco raised his eyebrows. "How so?"

"You're bigger than I am, and stronger and faster and."

"Wasn't it you who said women could take care of themselves, Miss Independent?"

"Yes but this is different." She protested hotly.

Draco smiled "How?"

"I'm not fully grown yet."

"Neither are we." He retaliated smoothly.

"Yeah, but see.oh screw it, give me the bloody gun."

Snape handed her a paintball gun, slightly disappointed the argument had stopped. She took the weapon and slitted her eyes at Draco "You're going down Mr. Malfoy."

He laughed softly "Only in your dreams Miss. Granger."

Snape cleared his throat. "Professor McGonagall and I will be joining you." He informed them.

Harry's brow furrowed. "This should be interesting." He informed Ginny softly.

They separated into the forest. Hermione froze behind a tree fearfully as she saw Harry walk past he didn't notice her presence.

She spun around the tree and came face to face with Draco. "Hello." He said simply.

Hermione let forth a scream that could wake the dead. Draco dropped his gun and covered his ears. Hermione made a break for it plowing into Pansy, who had moved in the screams direction out of curiosity.

The two females went tumbling over each other through the brush, stopping under a bush. "God Hermione, what happened?"

Hermione pushed herself off Pansy and brushed twigs from her hair. "Draco scared me."

"Oh." Pansy understood instantly.

Suddenly the bush covering them was lifted and Ron grinned down at them.

Pansy didn't hesitate: She shot him with a big blue paintball.

"Pansy!" Ron cried, disbelief on his features.

Pansy shrugged. "You asked for it big guy." She stated, "You're out."

Ron stalked away irritably.

Harry wandered around aimlessly in search of a target. He encountered Ginny. Both pointed their weapons at the other.

"Drop it." Ordered Harry.

"You drop it." Ginny snapped back.

So they stood there, gunpoints on each other's chests. Suddenly, without warning, Ginny leaned over and kissed Harry, shocking him into dropping his gun. She scooped it up triumphantly.

"Oh bloody hell." Harry's last words before He was shot with two red and yellow paint balls.

"Hey, my house colors." He mused aloud. Ginny burst out laughing.

Snape peered over a bush stealthily as he felt a gun point against his back. He whipped around to see McGonagall. "Hello Severus."

Snape's mouth fell open in shock. "How did you find me?"

Minerva rolled her eyes. "You have the woodcraft of a diseased wombat, Severus, a monkey could have found you."

Snape pouted. "Oh well. Let me have it." Minerva didn't need to be told she pulled the trigger and Snape was instantly covered in orange paint. With that she went in search of the other girls.

Suddenly Draco jumped out and blocked her path. "Sorry professor." He apologized half heartedly before spraying her with purple paint.

Snape smiled "You were always my favorite student."

Draco nodded in acknowledgement of the compliment before continuing the hunt. He was still furious at himself for allowing Hermione to slip through his fingers.

All of the sudden Pansy was in his way. He shot her without thought, blanketing her back in pink paint.

She spun around to look at Draco. "You should watch where you're going." He advised calmly.

"So should you." Came Ginny's voice from behind him as he felt a gun at his back.

He spun around quickly, grabbing the gun and flinging it out of her hand as he did so.

"You took out Harry, now you shall pay." He splattered her with white paint relentlessly.

"Hermione will get you." She promised him.

He laughed at that. "By the way, where is Hermione?"

"Oh she's over." Ginny hesitated. "No you devil, find her yourself."

He shrugged. "Gladly." With that he stalked away into the brush.

Hermione crept out into a clearing and began to sneak across it. She saw Draco emerge from the opposite side.

He smiled. "Game's over Hermione, surrender and I won't screw up your clothes with paint." He offered.

Hermione's hands were shaking from adrenaline as she held the gun in his direction. "Come get me." She challenged.

"Okay." He began to walk towards her, but paused raising his gun. "You come here."

She shook her head vehemently. "If you want me, you come here."

His eyes narrowed. "Why?"

"Because, you can stand there and continue to ask me suspicious questions, or you can come here and end the game."

He smiled. "I can end the game from here." With that he shot her three times, smothering her in black, brown and gray paint.

Her mouth fell open. "Draco Malfoy! I'm gonna kill you!" She ran forward and fell suddenly out of sight.

Draco's brow furrowed. He walked over to her point of disappearance and discovered a hole in the ground covered partially with leaves. He quickly realized she had been trying to lure him to this trap. He shook his head.

"Hermione. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

He leaned over and pulled her out. "You put up a good fight, you just can't best me."

Suddenly every girl in the game leaped out of the forest and shot every paintball they had at him.

"Don't be too sure." Hermione said brushing some paint from his face.
