DISCLAIMER: I absolutely forgot to put this at the beginning of my story and now I feel like crap. But I'm sure all of you know by now that I'm DEFINITELY not J.K. Rowling and that all of the characters belong to her.
After eating quietly, both Hermione and Draco wandered through the abandoned cabin to investigate.
"It doesn't appear as if anyone has ever lived in here." Hermione said just above a whisper.
"I see what you mean. It has to be a part of some curse involving that bloody apple. I just know it." Draco said back.
"What do you think it is? What would Dumbledore want us to be stranded out here for? I mean, he knows we hate each other!" Hermione stated upset.
"Maybe that's just it, Granger. He did this as some part of a "Inter-house unity" program or something. How stupid does that old man get?"
"Don't call him stupid. He is a very intelligent and trustworthy person. Well, he was until this. I am sure he has greater motives surrounding it all. We just have to figure it...." She stopped talking when she saw a piece of parchment float from the ceiling onto the table.
"Figure it?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow. He followed her eyes and soon saw what had captured her attention.
They both walked over to the table and picked it up. However, as luck would have it, they did it at the same time and the parchment tore.
"Way to go Granger. Now look what you've done."
"Look what I've done? You pulled at it too, mister."
"No I simply picked it up. You grabbed at it like a baby grabs for a sucker."
"What?! You are the greedy prat who grabs for everything. Do you not remember the apple?"
"How could I forget it? You keep reminding me every 5 seconds. And lets not forget that I'm stuck here with filth. I mean, you." He said through gritted teeth.
She ignored his temper and attempted to put the pieces of paper back together as best she could. When she finally had it finished, she could see it was a letter from Dumbledore.
Dear Miss Granger and Mr. Malfoy,
I would like to explain things a little further, as I know you must be very confused (and perhaps angry. I do apologize.).
When Professor Snape informed me of your little spat in his classroom, I decided to give you a detention you both would not forget. Not completely as punishment, but as a learning experience. Therefore, I made the tree with the apples with a temptation curse. When you both bit the apple, you were pulled into somewhat of another dimension.
(Do not worry Miss Granger; you are not missing any assignments or classes.)
The only way for you to break the curse is to form a friendship. At this time, I know it sounds crazy. But I am sure that if you sat down and talked, (civilly, mind you) you will see that you have a lot in common.
If you have not formed a friendship in 1 week your time, you will be released and I will realize it has failed.
Please do try it. With recent events, I assure you that inter-house unity will help everyone. I trust you both far more than other students because you two are far the best students I have seen in 100 years.
Good luck, and do try hard,
Albus Dumbledore
They sat there in silence for more than 10 minutes before either of them spoke.
"What could we possibly have in common?" Draco stated.
"At least we're not missing any classes." Hermione sighed.
"Is that all that matters to you? Classes?" He asked, almost laughing.
" It is the only important thing I have going on for me, so yes."
"You have plenty going on for you, you just don't realize it , Granger." He stated, looking straight into her eyes. "I, on the other hand, have nothing to look forward to. So I consider this a vacation." Shifting his eyes to the window.
"I guess we should at least try to get along. If all else fails, we can ignore each other for a week." Hermione said, disregarding his previous statement.
"Fine, truce." Draco said, walking towards the door.
"This means no calling me mudblood. I know how tempting that must be for you, but it will only start fights. And no talking rude about my friends."
" Fine. Don't call me ferret boy or anything related to that."
"Fine."
After a few minutes, Draco went to go outside and said "I'll be around, Granger."
Hermione sat down on the bed, in disbelief.
This would be a long week.
(a/n) Sorry I don't update as often as I should. I'm having a bit of a problem with writers block. But don't fear, I'll try to come up with exciting ideas. I know this chapter must seem very ...boring, but all will get better.
