Frost Valley
Disclaimer: Don't own it...wut else is new?
A/N: Frost Valley is an actual place in located in the middle of the Catskills in upstate NY. Because of its location, it snows a lot there, and when the snow melts, they MAKE new snow. Weird but yea... neway I hope you like it! –ICYCOOL
"What do you mean you're not going?!" Hermione screamed at Harry and Ron. All of the seventh years were going to the Catskills in America (New York) for a trip.
"We can't go Hermione! I'm really sorry!" Harry exclaimed back. They couldn't go because they had to stay because Voldemort was rising and Dumbledore wanted Ron to stay with Harry. (Voldemort was going to be in America) (A/N: Don't ask!)

"Hey Hermione, what activity group are you in?" asked Hermione's best friend Lavender while they were on the plane.
"P1, you?" Hermione responded.
"P2...OMG! You're in P1??? Eww I feel bad for you, Malfoy's in your group!" Lavender shouted.
"Oh that's just perfect, I was really looking forward to the trip. Of course, you can always trust Malfoy to ruin everything!" Hermione said. (A/N: There are 2 planes, 1 for boys and 1 for girls. So Malfoy's not there.) "This is going to be hell. Parvati, help me! What group are you in?"
"P4, sorry. Can't help you there." Parvati responded.
"I'm in P1, Hermione." Said Heather. Heather was a friend of Hermione's but they weren't really close, but it's better than Malfoy. Heather had shoulder length hair. It was dark brown with red highlights. She had brown eyes and was 5'6", just like Hermione.
"Oh, good. At least I know there's somebody civilized." Hermione said, relaxing a little.
Just then McGonagall came in and announced that they were almost there. "Just a reminder. We are in America, therefore not allowed to use any magic. We shall arrive in about 10 minutes. That is all."

"Welcome to Frost Valley." Said the lady standing in front of the dining hall. "My name is Rebecca. We are very glad to have you here and we hope you enjoy your stay. Please sit at your assigned tables. We will need people to get the food and to clean up on a voluntary basis. Once you are done eating, there will be dessert and then you will attend your first activity."
After she was done talking, two people from each table went and got the food. When they finished eating, they ate dessert.
Rebecca went up to the front of the dining hall again. "Ok, I hope you enjoyed your food. Will activity group P1 please meet at the left corner of the room. P2 will meet at the right corner. P3 will meet where I am standing. P4 will meet outside the doors. And P5 will meet right in the center. I will see you back here for dinner."
Hermione met up with Heather before she went to the left corner. "Hey Heather." Hermione said.
"Hey Hermione, are you ready?" Heather asked.
Hermione was about to respond but she heard the counselor speak. "Hi, My name is Lisa." The counselor said "Today we will go on a hike to visit the RMC. (A/N: I never got what that stood for... something center) That is where you will see the food composted and made into fertilizer. Then we will cross the cable bridge over the river and hike on a mountain. Let's go."
(A/N: There are about 8 people in the group not including the counselor person)
They started hiking. They took about 50 steps and Lisa stopped. "If I'm ever going to quickly, you can just yell 'hey lady, wait up.'"
Heather whispered to Hermione. "Lisa seems like a kook." Hermione agreed and they both quietly giggled. Hermione then realized the counselor was way ahead of them. And Malfoy was right in front of her... kind of in the way. She pushed him aside purposely and ran with Heather to the front.
When they finally got to the RMC, it started stinking. Lisa didn't seem to notice because she was used to it.
"Here is where the food is made into fertilizer. If you look in this bucket you can see some food already crushed a little."
Hermione and Heather looked in and thought it was gross because there was half of an eaten bagel and everything else in it looked like dirt. After they got out of the RMC, everybody was breathing again because it stunk in there. Outside was still kind of gross but luckily it wasn't smelly. There was a big machine and Lisa explained that that machine was what they used to compost the food. She walked over to the side and there was a big pile of composted food/soil. It looked like horse manure and smelled like it too.
"I know it smells really bad, but it is really warm for those of you who are brave enough to try, put your hand in it."
"Eww" Hermione and Heather both said. Hermione then noticed Malfoy picking up the soil. He came over and said "Here, Granger."
"Get away, Malfoy. That stuff is gross!" Hermione responded.
The people washed their hands w/ the snow from the ground and went on walking. They soon reached an end point where there was a river below and a cable bridge above it. Lisa explained how to get on and across it and explained that there could only be 6 people on the bridge at a time. A boy named Michael volunteered to go first and Hermione went after. As she was crossing, she looked at the river below and thought what would happen if she fell. She just kept going. She got off and waited for Heather to get off as well. When she did, Hermione told Heather that it was soooo freaky until you get off it and then it was the coolest thing ever.
They were walking up a mountain and Heather was explaining how she almost started crying because the cable bridge was so scary.
"It wasn't that bad." Hermione said.
"Yea it was." Heather explained. "And it was weird because Malfoy was helping me get across it."
"Wait, did you just say Malfoy?"
"Yeah, I know. It was Malfoy. He kept saying 'Heather, just keep going. Don't look down and don't cry, you'll get across.' It's kinda freaky. I was really shocked."
"Whoa." Was all Hermione could say. Then she said "My hands are so cold..."
Malfoy walked up behind her and said "I have hand warmers, do you want one?"
"Um... no thanks." Hermione said. Malfoy shrugged and kept walking. Hermione said to Heather "Whoa, you were right, Malfoy's being nice, I have to take advantage of that."
