Hi, sorry for the prolonged update. I had 16 people here at my house
for Christmas, and there are only 2 remaining. Four people stayed in my
room (where my computer's located) so I could barely have any alone time in
here. Enjoy this next chapter!
Chapter 3- Creeps
Day 2- Reward Challenge
At the top of the cliff, both teams were debating on who would be the first member of their tribes to jump into the crisp, clear water. No one was SCARED to, of course, but they didn't want to mess up the entire challenge by doing something wrong.
"Oh, for heaven's SAKE!" yelled Hermione in exasperation. She jumped promptly off of the cliff, followed closely by a Patil twin. Hermione's bravery (to be first) was elated by her tribe mates- they were screaming, "C'mon! You can make it- swim to the crate! GOOOO!" As soon as Hermione had doggy-paddled her way to the turquoise crate, Draco Malfoy ran and dove off of the cliff.
And so on and so forth. Finally, when there were two people left on top of the cliff, and two others were swimming to their crates, things were starting to get a little tense. Finally, as Susan Bones and Harry Potter touched their crates, Goyle and Pansy jumped off the cliff.
"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" squealed Pansy, as she hurtled towards the brilliant water at top speed. Draco snorted- she was always good for a laugh, no matter how dim she was. He supposed that Goyle must have just grunted, as usual. Both hit the clear water with a SPLAT, (Pansy's splash was amazingly huge, causing a huge tsunami in Japan! Kinichiwa!) (A/N JUST KIDDING) and Pansy came immediately back to the surface. She dove right back under and swam, rather quickly, to her crate. Everyone cheered as Harry dove down to retrieve their key. Goyle, meanwhile, was having some problems.
Thinking back to the first day's events, everyone realized that Goyle was no swimmer. "God... that stupid idiot can't freakin' swim!" shouted Jenny O'Hara. Ron shot her a look- no matter how much he hated someone, it was seriously wrong to be put down because of their... er, lack of abilities. He dove underwater and raced to save Goyle. Ron spotted him and pulled him to the surface. He then dragged him, while still swimming, to the crate, and said,
"C'mon, you great oaf! Just lay a single finger on the crate! That's all we need!" Goyle, who looked haggard with exhaustion, did so. Immediately, Joe Pinulver dove down to retrieve their own key. Ron glanced at the other team, who were already on the beach, opening what looked like a treasure chest. 'Crap... just what I need,' he thought, 'To lose right away!' Albeit he was tired, when Joe came up, Ron grabbed Goyle's neck and basically carried him to shore.
"PARVATI!" he roared, thinking of the first twin that came to mind. "Grab the key!" The twin with her hair in a pony tail raced up and grabbed the key from Joe. She raced forward and opened the chest. Susan raced forward, shrieking, "I'm the best at puzzles! Let me solve it!"
Meanwhile, Ann McCarthy was talking to a camera. "It looks like the results are going to be really close- I have no idea who'll win! Looks like Apollo is starting on their puzzle... and Athena's having problems with theirs!" she said, while still being able to show every single one of her beautiful pearly whites. She walked smoothly over to the area in which the puzzles were being made.
"WE WON! WE DID IT!" cried the Apollo team suddenly. "Stop right now!" commanded Ann, as she went over to examine the tribe's product. "Hmm... it looks about right! Athena, you didn't even finish yours! And after such a strong start..... Well, it looks like the reward goes to APOLLO!"
This last statement led the tribe into an uproar. They were so glad to have won the first challenge of the first Wizard Survivor that Parvati ran over and flung her arms around Ron. 'I can't believe I'm hugging him,' she thought, 'Should I kiss him on the cheek?' She leaned back and looked at her, and he grinned. 'HECK YEAH!' she thought, as she moved in for the kill. However, he turned at the last moment and they ended up kissing each other squarely on the lips.
"Alright, calm down, Apollo! I have your reward for you..." Ann yelled. They eagerly ran up to her, like little children hungry for sticky candy. "The reward is a big supply of pillows and blankets. Enjoy!"
Nearby, Hermione had flung herself into the sand. 'God- I can't believe we lost the first challenge. And we're supposed to be the BETTER team!' she thought. Harry, soaking wet, came over to her and sat down. He glanced at her and started laughing so hard that Hermione thought he might have been a little off upstairs. "What?" she snapped.
"Hermione- gasp- oh my- HA HA- you look so- *giggle*- FUNNY!" he managed to choke out. She made some sort of growl, and then Malfoy sauntered over.
"Yes, it's a shame we lost, of course," he was saying to Pansy. "If only I had been in charge of the whole ordeal, we might have actually won!" Pansy looked at him through narrowed eyes, but still still chuckled. "Ah- Pothead, Mudblood- did you see the Weasel? Guess the ménage à trios have officially broken up!"
"What???" Hermione growled. Malfoy pointed over to Ron, who was still kissing Parvati. Harry stopped laughing and looked totally surprised. "Ron...," Hermione breathed. Harry looked nervous, as he knew Hermione used to have feelings for him. He wasn't sure if Hermione was quite over Ron, but nevertheless, it was never safe to assume something. Her eyes filled with tears, and she got up slowly and walked up to Malfoy. She must have been really angry, with Ron kissing Parvati, her team losing the challenge, and after all the taunting Malfoy had given her, because she slapped him so hard across the cheek that a red mark was clearly visible from fifty feet away.
Ron glanced sideways and saw Hermione slapping Malfoy. 'Gods,' he thought, 'Why can't he EVER leave her alone?!' He pulled away from a flustered Parvati and marched over to Malfoy.
"Why do we have to keep telling you? Just leave us- especially Hermione- alone!" he yelled. Draco, who had one of his hands on his red cheek, looked fearful for a moment, then angry. But, to everyone's surprise, he just walked away. 'Ha, ha!' Ron thought, 'Malfoy's going soft!'
Day 2- Athena, back at camp
"Hermione- quit thinking about it- I'm sure Ron's not dating Parvati- or Padma- whichever one she is!" said Harry soothingly- and frustrated. Hermione, whose eyes were tearing, snapped,
"Whoever said I liked Ron in that manner? That was a stupid school crush and I'm over it." Harry wanted to roll his eyes, but he thought better of it. After all, he had to be a comforting friend. As soon as he opened his mouth to answer, Lily came over.
"Hello Harry... and Hermione," she said, obviously trying to sound sweet. With so many other things on her mind, Hermione didn't feel like responding. Harry, however, nodded at her, and turned back to Hermione. Lily didn't pick up the clue to leave, though.
"Gosh, you must really work on your hair at home to make it look nice, as it's awful right now!" she said conversationally. "It's all big and bushy- it looks like you've been electrocuted!" She laughed- a small tinkly laugh that reminded Harry of Professor Umbridge.
"That's not very nice," said Hannah loudly, who had snuck up behind Lily.
"Who asked you whether it was nice or not? It's the truth, ain't it?" Lily said. Hermione caught Lily's eye and glared at her. "You're quite feisty, aren't you? Well, no need to try and start a fight with me- you'll lose," said Lily snottily.
"You couldn't win if you tried," Hermione answered back through gritted teeth, with the same sound of pure hatred she usually reserved for Malfoy.
"Wasn't that your boyfriend snogging that tall girl back there? My, my. That's not a very smart thing to do- especially with his girlfriend watching. THAT'S not very nice," Lily retorted. Hermione winced- and Harry knew Lily had touched a nerve.
"You want to know something that's not very nice?" asked Harry. "You." Lily looked hurt for a moment- after all, she was being put down by the "Boy Who Lived" and all. Then she turned around and left.
"I hate her," snarled Hermione.
Day 2- Apollo, night
It was midnight, and everyone was sleeping. Except Ronald Weasley. He was sitting by the fire, thinking about the day's events.
'Why did Parvati kiss me?' was the main thought flowing through his head. He glanced over at her sleeping form. 'In fact, why are all the girls 'swooning' over me anyways?' Girls were so complicated in his opinion.
The next morning, Goyle came back from getting the tree mail with a large chest in his arms.
"You DOLT! You weren't supposed to bring back the mail-box... thingy!" yelled Susan. Goyle blinked stupidly, and answered,
"I wasn't?" Susan smacked her forehead and walked off to the water. 'Stupid, stupid git. How on earth am I supposed to 'keep my cool' in front of Ron if I have to deal with such dense twits?' she thought furiously.
"Oy- Susan! Everyone! Come back- we're going to read the mail!" yelled Joe Pinulver. Everyone trudged back to the campsite, and when they arrived, Joe read:
"Speed is your companion
On this difficult task.
You need to retrieve your item-
Doing it quite fast.
If you do not get it
Before the time is up,
You'll be heading to Tribal Council
Before you can say DUP!"
"Dup? What the heck is a DUP?" Ron asked. "Guess it's one of those loony Muggle terms...." He trailed off. Rolling his eyes, Joe said,
"Back to the mail. Well, that's not as vague as the one for the reward challenge. From the sound of it, we just have to get something really fast!"
Day 3- Immunity Challenge
"Welcome, everybody! I'm so very glad that you could make it to the challenge today!" exclaimed Ann. Parvati exchanged glances with Padma, as if thinking, 'Oh. My. God. HOW FAKE!'
Amused, Draco looked around at his surroundings. 'Sure, Hermione was pretty, but GOD,' he thought, 'she must use tons of hair products to get her hair to behave.' He looked at her. Her hair was just how it was in school- big and bushy. However, she looked like she simply didn't care about how she looked now. 'But, her face looks the same- she must not wear any makeup. Talk about natural beauty!' he thought.
"Okay, everyone. You're challenge for today is again, quite simple. There is a torch, over there- see? Well, you're to hand it off to your fellow tribe mates... through obstacles of course!" Ann said. "Off you go- line yourselves up on the beach!" Everyone did as they were told and positioned themselves in the correct lineups. "READY? GET SET? GO!" screeched Ann.
Goyle sprinted as fast as he could off to the raven haired girl a mile ahead of him. Concentrating hard on her dark hair amongst the cerulean ocean, he forced himself to keep going, no matter how hard it was. 'This is great,' he thought, 'I'll finally be able to prove that I don't need Draco to get far in life!' Unfortunately for him, he tripped over a rope that cut across his path. "Aargh- Dracoooo!" he yelled. He suddenly realized what he had just said. "NEVERMIND!" he yelled. 'Sure got far,' he thought.
'IDIOT! He distracted me!' thought Draco. Truth be told, he WAS concentrating on something- his team, for once in his life. They were doing quite well, even if the other team was almost finished. 'WHAT? Noo! They can't win, for goodness sake!' he thought frantically. He looked to his team, and the second to last person had the torch. "GRANGER! HURRY YOUR MUDBOOL ARSE UP!" he yelled. Hermione stopped. "COME ON!" he screeched. Hermione looked like she was fighting with herself- inwardly, of course- then raced over to Draco.
"Here, jerk," she panted before handing him the torch. He cursed at her before running off to the finish line. He was neck in neck with the suddenly-famous Weasel- who was surprisingly fast. 'Crap,' he thought- 'I can't lose to him. Especially after teasing him mercilessly for- oh, the past 10 years.' With an extra burst of speed, he pushed himself so hard that he felt like his heart would explode. Seeing the finish line a few feet up, he ran and dived for the line. Ann spoke,
"And the winner is..."

Few quick things- IT IS SO HARD TO MAKE POEMS FOR IMMUNITY CHALLENGES! GRRRRRR! (What's a dup? LOL) *_* -- I love that smiley haha!
I know it was very Gary-Stu to make Ron handsome, but you gotta give him some credit. He's got good comebacks in OotP, and then in GoF, it talks about how he never gets attention. I didn't change Harry, though.
This was in normal view- tell me if you like it in people's view or regular. (There was even a bit of GOYLE!! THE HORROR!!) My recommended fiction-
'Harry Potter and the Curse of the Gold Coin' by HiddenCamera. It's got a nice basic concept and all- I think you should read it... it'd mean a lot to me! Bye!
