Day 3
11:40 AM
Why, hello again. I've just spent the morning wandering around this place in dismay. Honestly, I would've thought they would be able to pick a better place. Seriously, this is just terrible. Just terrible. When McGonagall said "Central Africa," I assumed she was talking about a CIVILIZATION in Central Africa. Not this stupid... PLACE! Let me describe what I'm seeing right now: Trees, birds, trees, monkeys, trees, Hogwarts students, trees, bugs, trees, dead jungle rhino *sighs* (blame Fred), trees, dead jungle hippo *sighs again* (blame George), trees, a bunch of girls fussing over their hair next to a dead buffalo *slams forehead against rock* (I dont even want to explain this one), and um... did I mention... trees? OH, HECK, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A JUNGLE. A BLOODY JUNGLE!!! My god, seriously, what does Dumbledore think he's doing? Am I supposed to LEARN from this? Or INTERACT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, perhaps? Damn it. Lupin says it's time for lunch. If I have to eat anything the twins killed...
1:00 PM
Hey. Just finished lunch. Not a Hogwarts lunch, but close enough.(Ladies and Gentlmen, lets give a hand to the all new and improved Harry Optimistic Potter!) Let's see... a bit of scrambled eggs which tasted all right (Mind you, I didn't ask where they came from...), some fried lizards(All of the girls refused to try any, except for Ginny and Lavender), glass of monkey milk (I didn't even know monkeys gave milk...), and, by far the best course, AN EXTRA LARGE HELPING OF CANNED BEEF!!! hahaha, Ron managed to sneak some cans of food from the school kitchens before we left. Oddly, *snickers* Hermione wasn't all too annoyed with the extra house elf labour involved in canning food, in fact... she seemed quite relieved... polished off two whole cans of spinach all by herself. Ha, I suppose spinach must seem like heaven compared to lizard guts to her.
Anyway, everyone seemed a bit relieved after our first lunch. Perhaps this won't be too bad after all... Perhaps... Well, just as long as the Slytherins keep their hands and feet nicely to themselves. "Yes, children, remember, keep your body parts to yourself" Yeah, that includes YOU, Mr. Blaise Zabini. That jerk. During lunch, he sat exceptionally close to Ginny, putting his arm dangerously close to her waist. Yeah, and that's not all. He actually turned and stared at her openly(Ginny, didn't notice, she was busy dipping lizards in monkey milk) while chomping down on one of the drumsticks Pansy Parkinson had given him earlier. (Apparently, Ron wasn't the only one who had thought ahead) And I WAS going to give her a can of her favourite peaches, but Zabini beat me first, offering her a large, tempting piece of chicken. That bastard. Ginny looked at him in astonishment, then set down her lizards, picked up the chicken, and smiled warmly at him. Hell. Hell. Hell. Let me put it this way: Before lunch was over, she had already choked on her food seven times because of his stupid "jokes." They weren't even that funny. (Trust me, I know. I was eaves - err - listening.) Heck. If I write one more word about Ginny and Zabini, I'll puke, then probably run off into the woods for a good cry. Oh my God, she's beautiful.
1:30 PM
Yes. The puke part was true, but it probably wasn't because of Ginny and Zabini. Why? Because everyone else has been throwing up along with me. Could've been something nasty the lizards ate, Zabini offered "intelligently." (Only he would know. They must've taken a few bites out of him.) Damn, I'm pretty tired now. Just spent twenty minutes getting acquainted with the campground. It's not such a bad place, really. Not my type for sure, but better than the Dursley's place. We're settled in this large clearing in the middle of a jungle. No tents have been set up yet, but we'll do that later in the evening. Everyone's wandering around, not really doing anything, just climbing trees, writing in their diaries, taking short walks, exploring, talking under the cool shade, hunting, observing animals, bonding with nature, answering nature's calls, you know, heh. Oh, Hermione says she wants to show me something. later
2:00 PM
Awesome! Hermione gave me a cd player and a couple of her favourite cds. She said they'd probably help take off some of the pressure and annoyance. Obviously, Ron wanted one too, but I think Hermione's keeping him preoccupied enough. lol. So, anyways, right now i'm listening to something called "You're a God" by Vertical Horizon. Brilliant, just brilliant. Am just going to sit back and enjoy the music, maybe sleep a bit. Ahh... the bliss of life.
9:00 PM
I AM PISSED OFF. Want to know why? I just woke up, which translates into: THEY DIDNT WAKE ME UP FOR DINNER!!! Now everything's gone (Thanks to those slytherin hogs), and i have nothing to eat - oh wait... RONNIE, DEAR, where are the cans you brought? *grins* be back later.
9:30 PM
Right. Good dinner. So, I've just noticed - they've put up the tents, great, i didnt even have to help. Oh, by the way, Lupin says today's only the first day - as in it was meant for relaxation. And he hasnt been pushing us into doing all the stuff we should be doing. *grimaces* I cant believe this. Man, I'm tired again... I dont even want to bother with tent groups *yawns* Am just going to an empty tent, and that shall be my tent. Wonderful... *yawns again* G'night, and hopefully tomorrow won't be half as boring as today.
a/n: hey, sorry, school has just started, and i have writers block. I know this chapter isnt exactly err... funny, but, hey, i'm working on it! Next chapter up in two weeks, tops. Review, plz, it's what motivates me. Thanks.
