They emptied out their tents, then went to the eating area to see the surprise. The surprise was the lost baggage from the bus.
Everyone had unpacked and changed clothes then went out for the nature walk.
"Here are the rules," the camp guide announced. "No feeding the animals, no straying from the group, no littering and don't pick plants."
Everyone obeyed the rules for the first part.
"This is stinging netle, you see these spikes on the underside, if you touch them they get embedded in your skin and they burn." the guide said.
"Cool," Dean said. "Let see." then rubbed his finger on the plant. Predictably a couple of minutes later his hand was inflamed.
"Don't expect any sympathy from me," Snape said coldly.
"Here's the antidote," the camp guide said as they came across stink plant.
Later they came across elderberry.
"Rub the leaves between your fingers and smell." the camp guide instructed.
Everyone did so.
"Yuck!" Ron cried. "It smells like old people, hence its name."
Slowly everyone got bored of the camp guides lectures about plants and started wandering off and talking.
Malfoy wandered off into a little side path.
"Why go on the path, when I can....bushwack!" Malfoy thought to himself and pushed his way through the bushes.
When he stopped to drink out of a stream (what a smart old chap) a bear showed up.
Malfoy, not being very smart or skilled in wilderness survival skills shrieked and curled up into a small ball.
When the bear went to investigate he did a spectacular barrel roll and started running.
Good job Malfoy, another brilliant idea (not).
The bear easily out ran him, caught him, and devoured him. Just kidding.
(Predictably) Malfoy shot up a tree, leaving the bear pacing beneath the tree.
"This sucks," Malfoy muttereed aloud.
Just then his class mates arrived (searching for him) and laughed their heads off at Malfoy up the tree and freeked out.
"This really sucks," he thought, "If only I had my wand..."
The camp guide saw absolutely no amusement in this situation (the snobbiest kid at hogwarts chased up a tree by a bear) and immediatly whipped out pepper spray and bear bells and chased the bear away.
"This is why I said don't stray away from the group sonny," the camp guide said helping Malfoy down.
