A/N: I haven't updated this story in a long time, besides being at camp. Well, it's a long time for me. Truthfully, I'm getting a bit sick of this story. I'll try and juice it up. If anyone has any good ideas, pleeeeaaaaase tell me them! Thank you!

DracoI woke up earlier than everyone else that morning, so I decided to take a stroll down the beach. I grabbed my sweatshirt to throw on over my hot, bare chest because there was a cool breeze that morning.
I started walking toward this sort of stone cliff area that everyone hung out on, that wasn't really a cliff because it wasn't that high. I suddenly saw a figure sitting on the edge. I continued walking and soon realized that it was Hermione. I sat down next to her.
"So I guess I'm not the only early bird," I said.
She turned to me, startled. "Oh, hi," she said. "I didn't really notice you there."
A cameraperson sat down next to me and shoved a camera in my face. I tried to ignore it.
"So, how long have you been awake for?" I asked.
Hermione shrugged. "Like an hour," she replied with a small laugh.
"I just woke up, which is odd for me. I usually sleep until noon if I can," I informed her.
She laughed and stared out at the ocean.
"Are you okay?" I asked. "You seem a little... I don't know, in the dumps." Wait a second, was I being nice? Whoa, Draco, what are you doing there, boy?
She shrugged. "This game is just so crazy. I mean, Dean and Seamus are such great friends, and now their friendship is practically ruined. And everyone is lying and cheating everyone else. I know I'm doing that, too, but... I don't know, it's getting a little crazy. And I'm kind of sick of it all, in a way..."
"Dean and Seamus were a pretty strong alliance, though. Isn't it for the better that it's broken up?" I asked, hoping that she wouldn't want to break our alliance and try and get herself voted off, or something.
She shrugged again. "Don't listen to me, I'm still half asleep." She giggled. She had a nice giggle.
The wind blew her wavy hair into her eyes. I hadn't noticed how much tamer her hair had gotten. Maybe she finally learned how to take care of it, or maybe she grew out of the frizziness. Without really thinking about what I was doing, I reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear, getting it out of her face.
She smiled and looked me in the eyes. I had never noticed how deep and beautiful her eyes were. They were a chocolaty brown, but not a boring shade of brown. A sexy and gorgeous one. It was such a nice moment, and I couldn't even believe that I was thinking such things, so I leaned in and kissed her. At first it was a sweet, innocent kiss without tongue or anything. Then she grabbed the back of my head and pulled me in for more, shoving her tongue into the depths of my mouth.
Someone was horny.

HermioneI'm not sure what I was thinking, but suddenly I just wanted to make out with Draco and do things I'd never done with anyone else before. I wrapped my arms around his neck and shoved my mouth against his. He put his hands delicately- almost nervously- on my hips. The cameraman who had been documenting the whole thing shoved his camera right next to our faces, so we were almost hitting him. Draco and I both put our hands out to shove him away, and accidentally knocked him off the cliff. We didn't even look down to see how he was. I don't know why Draco didn't, but I was too busy thinking of a place on the island where we could hide to do things together and no one would see us. I doubted that any such place existed.
Draco pushed me onto my back so that he was onto of me and I was on the warm stone that had been baking in the sun despite the breeze. I opened my eyes and stared into his deep, gray ones.
"Is anyone awake?" I asked.
He glanced toward the shelter. "Not that I can see," he replied, smiling.
I smiled back and pulled his head closer to mine, and started kissing him again. His hand slowly slipped under my shirt and started climbing upwards. And I didn't even care.

HarryThe morning after Colin made his sad departure, we all woke up rather late. The sun was shining brightly, and there was a nice breeze. I was the last to wake up, and Pansy shouting "MAIL!" at the top of her lungs snapped me out of my deep slumber. Really, next tribal council, she's GONE.
"What is it?" Ginny asked as a crowd formed around the piece of parchment in Pansy's hand.
I slowly got up and joined the crowd to hear Pansy read the mail aloud.
"If you win the reward today
You'll be getting food in a different way
No more rice for your lucky tribe
You all will surely survive
If you work together, without a doubt
You'll make it through without any pouts.
Honestly, who writes these things anyway?" Pansy finished.
"Sounds like we're going to get some new type of food...?" Parvati said.
"No, I think we're getting spears to catch fish with," I said. "Because it say's that we'll be getting our food in a different way."
Ginny nodded. "Oh, you're so smart, Harry," she said.
I rolled my eyes.

Cho"I wonder what we're going to have to do in the challenge," Lavender stated as we sat in the sand for a few minutes before we had to leave to get to the challenge.
"Yeah," Padma agreed. "We haven't done anything in the water yet. Maybe it'll be in the water."
"Lets hope everyone here is a good swimmer," I said. "Hey, where's Hermione?" I suddenly remembered the girl and wondered where she had run off to.
"Yeah, where is she? She disappeared after we read the mail," Padma said. "I bet she got yanked off by Dan Greenbaum."
I laughed. "She probably did. That guy is so annoying," I said. "He tried to set me up with Draco. "Have you ever had feelings toward him... More than friendly feelings?" he asked me." I rolled my eyes. "The dude's psychotic."
The other two agreed.
"He's trying to turn me against everyone," Lavender said. "The other day, he almost convinced me that you two and Hermione were plotting against me. I have to hand it to him, though, he's good at what he does. He almost had me fooled."

DracoDan pulled me aside after we read our mail. I was kind of happy, though.
"Thanks for splitting Dean and Seamus up for me," I said gratefully. "I tried my hardest, but I have a feeling that you really set them off." I winked.
"Oh, I'm just doing my job," Dan said, flashing me a pearly white grin. "So, about you and Hermione. I was under the impression that you two didn't have any feelings for each other..." he trailed off suggestively.
"Well, I didn't really... Until this morning, I guess," I said, picking the bark off of the log I was sitting on. Dan cleared his throat and I remembered that I was supposed to answer in complete sentences. "I didn't really have any feelings for Hermione until this morning," I said into the camera. "I mean, I guess I didn't. maybe there was something small there this morning, but they didn't really come out until earlier."
"So, how far did you guys go?" Dan asked seriously.
I could feel my cheeks burning. Dan started to chuckle.
"I'm just kidding around," he said.
"Ah," I replied, trying to get over the fear that had swept my body when Dan asked the question.
"I have to hand it to you, though," Dan said. "When most people try and get away from the cameras, they just go into the forest or something. But you, my friend, were much smarter. I've never seen anyone push a cameraman into the water before. Nice work."
"Hermione and I weren't really thinking when we pushed the guy into the water," I responded. "We were trying to get him out of our faces, but I guess he fell in. Whoops." I didn't feel bad about it at all. Those camera people have always annoyed the hell out of me. They're only good for showing off my hot bod in front of.
"Well, thanks for your time, Draco," Dan said. "I need to talk to Hermione now."

Hermione"Okay, I'll admit that I've had feelings for Draco this whole game. But this morning, I don't know, something happened and I just wanted to... Well, I guess you saw it," I answered Dan, laughing. I had been in a good mood since that morning.
"Nice work dumping the cameraman into the water," Dan said with a chuckle. "I don't think anyone will actually see footage of that big make out scene now, unfortunately." Dan raised an eyebrow, but he was still smiling.
"Yeah, sorry about that," I replied. Truthfully, I wasn't sorry. That cameraman was pissing me off. But I was being polite.
"I think you should be heading off to your Reward Challenge now, Hermione," Dan said, getting up. "I'll see you later." He winked and strolled off into the forest. I couldn't help but wonder where he could possibly going deep into the forest like that.

The Reward Challenge NarratorToday the contestants had to swim out into a slightly deep area of the ocean, and bring a large rock that had been laid out for them back to shore by taking turns carrying it underwater. Two members of the Dragon tribe had to sit out for this challenge since the Hippogriff tribe had two fewer members.
"Remember that the same person cannot sit out two challenges in a row," George said to the Dragons as they consulted.
"I'm a horrible swimmer," Lavender said.
"Okay, you'll sit out," Draco decided.
"I'm pretty bad, too," Seamus said, somewhat reluctantly.
"Okay," Draco said.
Lavender and Seamus stepped off to the side to stand by George as the challenge went on and observe it.
"Lavender and Seamus are sitting out," George announced. "Everyone get into position to start. Get in a line... Yes, good. Okay. Survivors ready, go!"
And they were off. Draco swam through the water at a lightning speed, reaching the rock well before the rest of his team did, while the Hippogriff team was swimming at a steady pace. Harry, Parvati, Ginny, and Luna were all good swimmers, while Pansy and Neville stayed at the back of the line, getting slower and slower with every stroke they took.
"Hurry up!" Draco screamed at the rest of his tribe.
A few seconds later Dean and Hermione reached him, then Cho, then Ron, then Padma. Draco then immediately dove down and grabbed the rock, running as fast as he could with it underwater. He made it farther than Harry did, who was carrying it first for the Hippogriff team. Hermione went next and finished before Neville who accidentally dropped the rock on his toe underwater. A small trail of red seeped up from under the rock as Neville shoved it off his toe with all his might.
Saving all the boring details, the Dragon tribe won by a hair as Draco ran panting to the finish line and dropped the rock almost on George's foot, before collapsing. He had insisted on doing most of the carrying.
The team erupted into tired cheers as they accepted the spears from George.
"The Hippogriff tribe has yet to win a challenge," George informed a camerawoman.

HermioneI saw Draco lying spread-eagled on the ground, panting and wet and shirtless. I wanted to collapse onto of him in an orgasmic heap, but I restricted myself. I didn't want to call attention to Draco and my relationship.

GinnyWhen we reached our campsite that afternoon, after the challenge, we were all in the dumps. But I tried to remain positive. I had faith in us! We were going to win that Immunity Challenge in two days! I knew we were! We had to. We couldn't afford to lose like another member. Those Dragon bastards were tearing us into, like pieces!
It was time for a pep talk!
"Okay, tribe meeting," I said, trying to get everyone to sit around the fire pit with me. "Come on, you guys. Don't, like, be such babies." Finally everyone sat down. "Okay, I thought we all, like, needed a pep talk. We've all been playing pretty shitty, obviously. I mean, we haven't won a single challenge yet! So I think we all need some self-esteem boosting. We can win that Immunity Challenge! I have, like, faith in this tribe! We have to win it or else we will lose for SURE! These pieces of Dragon dung are totally ruining us. What will we do if we get back to school and haven't won a thing? We'll be the laughing stocks of Hogwarts! So listen to me right now, if we don't win Immunity in two days, there will be all hell to pay, so I suggest you all, like, try your hardest. Okay, I'm, like done." I stood up and walked off, leaving the rest of the tribe to sit there in wonderment at my amazing speech.
