Hermione stalked down the corridor, her bushy hair thickening by the
second. Every now and then she would let out a huffy snort and murmur a
thing or two to no one in particular. " Ridiculous, Malfoy?"
" How am I expected to get any educational value out of working with him?"
" It's really quite unsatisfactory, what if he curses me in my sleep"
Harry and Ron chose to keep quite, it really was bad luck getting stuck with Malfoy, and she deserved a bit of a blowout. " You know Hermione, our partners really aren't much better" Ron tried tacitly. " Oh yes, but Crabbe and Goyle are as thick as a plank of wood, all they'll do is grunt and eat, Malfoy actually has two braincells, which is unlucky for me." " But Hermione, weren't u just complaining that he would be a bad study partner, if he's intelligent, that will help" Harry tried " well,.. I,. it doesn't matter, whichever way you look at it, he's not right! " With that she stomped off to the library to calm herself with thick books.
" Well, she's certainly in a fluster isn't she? " said Ron " She's right though, we are sort of lucky with our partners, they won't be too antagonizing" " Oh yea but still Harry, don't be so level headed, Crabbe and Goyle, we really did get the luck of the draw " " Hmmm " Harry murmured distracted as Cho Chang walked past, surrounded by friends, male and female alike. " Harry, yoo hoo? " " Ah yes, what were you saying Ron?" " Your so smitten Harry, want to make it any clearer to her, than starry eyed and practically swooning when she walks past?" he fell into a fit of laughter which presently resulted in him bumping directly into Fleur who was staying another year to improve her English. " What iz ziz silly boyz doin?" " Oh well, um we" Ron stammered " Shoo now, and stop bozering everyone" " Yes Ma'am" said Ron meekly before turning and leading Harry in the opposite direction to Fleur. " Me so smitten?" laughed Harry, " You'd do anything for her" ' Whatever" said Ron grumpily before turning to head back to the Gryffindor Common Room.
Hermione grumpily packed a blue hiking pack following the guidelines of a list Monte had given out.

The list seemed extremely short to Hermione, at least extremely short for a week's in the outdoors. The outdoors, Hermione had never been camping before, let alone " ruffing it" as Mr. Monte had described.
What would Ruffing it be like with Malfoy? She imagined he would probably bring a caravan trailer with him, it wasn't right for a Malfoy to have to sleep on the dirt. The assignment would make up for it though. They were too record as many specimens and animals as possibly in their week. Sometimes fighting would be called upon, to find out the strengths and weaknesses of their subjects. At least Malfoy was athletic Hermione decided, resorting to Optimism. When she had finished packing she left for the Common Room, a book would certainly lift her spirits.
Early the next morning she was shaken awake softly by Parvati, " Hermione, its time to go, come on now" Hermione looked around, it was still dark, uhhh she groaned inwardly. Hurriedly Hermione dressed, as the bedroom was already empty, she didn't know how the other girls could get up so easily, they had stayed awake most of the night chatting about the trip. Hermione however had spent most of the night dreading the trip, but had finally fallen into an uneasy sleep.
Hermione heard a noise downstairs and guessed it was Ron, he was always late. She met him in the Common Room and together they walked down toward the meeting spot. Just inside the Forbidden Forest. When they reached the clearing most of the class was already there, most dull eyes and still yawning. Hermione took a seat next to Harry as they waited for Monte.
They sat in a circle, each with a pack weighing far over 20kg. Well it would have, had Hermione not taught them all a spell to send the weight zooming into the air.
There were mixed feelings about the adventure to come. Lavender and Parvati were whispering and giggling, anxious to be away with their boyfriends. Patsy was sulking, she would have liked to be with Malfoy, a whole week alone! Ron and Harry were silent, although occasionally Ron nudged Harry and they would stare with dread at Crabbe and Goyle. Hermione was frantically reading up on curses to keep Malfoy at bay, and Outdoor Survival Spells, cursing herself that she hadn't memorized the books years earlier
Monte Apparated and the class fell into a hush." Now Class" he said casting his pale blue eyes around at every individual. " Once a day we shall meet here. Please remember only fight and record what is within your capabilities. If you and your partner disagree on what these capabilities are put aside that subject. Now there are two beds for a reason, we don't want any hanky panky going on" the class laughed and Monte grinned.
" What, with her? I would rather my own mother" Malfoy drawled
" Something we agree on easily" I snapped back.
" And lastly " continued Monte, his voice rising slightly " Do be civil, after all this is a school task" Hermione snorted thinking it quite unlikely her and Malfoy would be anything but civil.
" Alright, I'll send you off on separate paths, there are 10 leading into the forest"
Seamus and Lavender went first, reaching for each others hands the minute they rounded the corner.
" Tut, tut tut " commented Monte. Ron and Crabbe were next. Ron started grumbling straight away, complaining that Crabbe walked too loudly. Monte laughed, he seemed glad at their annoyance. Harry and Goyle left mid-way, as I watched their silent retreating backs and I let out a sad sigh. " Granger, Malfoy". I stood brushed my grubby legs and faced Monte. We were the only ones left in the clearing. " Now you two, I have a feeling your aren't bosom buddies?"
" You'd be right there Mr. Monte," he said glancing at my medium sized chest. I knew he was comparing me to Patsy's watermelons, but I cared as much about his opinion as I did for Divination. Malfoy smirked up at me and I glared back.
" Well you heard what I said" he continued," at least opt for neutral ground, if you think you can't be friends" He looked at us both, waiting for answers.
" Well, best be off now, head for the far right path, goodluck."
I stalked off quickly but slowed down when I reached the path entrance. It was very dark. Malfoy pushed roughly past me. I watched as he ran into the darkening woods, his pack following the tip of his wand.
" C'mon Granger, one too many chocolate puddings hmm?"
I scowled but ran after him anyway. I ran for 10 whole minutes before I was out of breath and getting nervous. There as not a sound, and the trees seemed to be closing in every second.
Bang! I fell hard to the ground and looked up in horror at what had jumped me. Malfoy lay on top of me, cackling his stupid blonde head off.
" Scared ya, sissy"
" Get offa me Malfoy" I said trying to move his dead weight.
He pushed his hips into mine, " Who's gonna make me?" He leaned close putting his lips to my ear
" It's just you and me Granger" he whispered silkily. With that he got up and continued down the track.
