Unfortuanetyl Malfoy, Ron, Neville and Harry were paired up in the same tent, as Dumbledore felt they should mix themselves up between houses, though they would be able to choose one friend.
Coincedentally Malfoy and Neville were the oddballs, so they were paired up together.
When they thought that their tent was pitched well, they climbed in, and predictably the tent collapsed, clouting Malfoy on the head and leaving him unconcious.
"Just like him to injure himself to get out of work." Harry griped as they began to set up their tent again.
After the tent was actually set up well they went back to the bus to get their belongings.
As they rounded the corner they saw that the bus wasn't there.
"We're doomed," Ron said dramatically.
"This is wonderful, we'll be able to test our knowledge of the wilderness!" The camp guide exclaimed.
"Wonderful," Snape agreed sarcastically. "Just wonderful."
Much to the camp guide's delight they made beds out of leaves and ferns in their tents.
Malfoy, who as usual felt it beneath him to pay attention, put poison ivy in his bed.
It was about six so they began to make dinner.
"How come our water is taking so long to boil?" Parvarti grumbled.
"If you stopped turning off the flame to peer in the pot it wouldn't take so long!" Hermione said.
"Well the flame's scary, and at least you know I'm not a pyro!" Parvarti argued, jerking her head towards Crabbe who was lighting match after match and waving it around.
"Atleast." Hermione agreed.
Everyone was following Crabbe's wonderful example, and lighting matches, until Crabbe caught on fire and was deported to the first aid tent for the night.
"And that kids, is why you don't play with fire." Snape informed everyone."
After all of the dishes were washed they went to have a campfire.
Marshmallows were handed out, though none of them knew what to do, so they were covered in sticky marshmallow.
"We'll be telling ghost stories and singing songs," the camp guide said, eyeing the sticky teenagers with distaste.
"I have the first ghost story!" Malfoy announced. "Well it's not really a ghost story, but a scary story."
With the camp guide's consent Malfoy began.
