Hermione caught up to Malfoy quickly. They walked in silence for 15 minutes
until she couldn't stand it anymore.
" you know" she said cocking her head to the side to get a better view of him
" Your not so bad when your silent"
He looked at her quizically, " yea, neither are you"
" Ah ha, something we agree on!. We really do spend too much time on each others negatives, when we should be finding each others positives, after all we are going to be together for a week"
" Oh please, don't get all goody two shoes on me, trying to make the world a better place, perhaps we are just not compatible, ever think a that?"
" Well " she said, " I was only trying to be friendly, a lost course it seems"
" Shut-up Granger, I like you better when you don't talk"
" Well, so do I" she fumed, although it wasn't really true.
For the next hour they walked in silence again, Hermione was getting into a lovely re-count of one of her all time favorite Arithmancy lessons when Malfoy nudged her.
" Granger, u got the map? Monte said we should find a place to sleep real early to day, so we can spent the afternoon getting used to our area"
" Oh you lishen? You are full of suprises!"
Netherless she pulled out her map.
" well, see that pile of stones over there?" she said pointing to a minute drawing
" Well that's were we were about an hour ago, so, umm, well we should be ..?"
" Here" said Malfoy pointing to a small figurine, we passed that only a couple of minutes ago,
" If we take the next left turn, there should be a clearing, and it's marked as a safe zone. The water too is blue which means we can drink it"
" I know what it means" snapped Hermione, she was rarely out smarted. Malfoy retreated hands in a shield position,
" Chill out" he muttered
When they reached the next left turn they took it and walked for another 10 minutes, Malfoy kicking a stone the whole way.
" Do you really feel the need to do that ?" Hermione inquired
" If it annoyes you, most certainly" he said although after giving it one final kick he let it rest. When they reached the clearing they stopped in their tracks.
" Who would have though a place so beautiful could exist in such a horrible place?"
" It's not really horrible this Forest, I mean it was nice today wasn't it?"
" Oh yea, but we are still near the outer boundaries each day we travel further in, and each day it will get worse"
" Ah, I don't reckon it's as bad as everyone makes out, it's only if your stupid enough to pick fights with the creatures that you could get into trouble. I reckon they just wanna be left alone, wouldn't you?"
" I suppose you got a point, but still it doesn't make them any less dangerous"
" ah not if you got a big tough man like me around to save ya"
Ugggg, Hermione groaned, but still laughed as she made her way to the stream. She washed her face and dried her hands on her clothes.
" Your not like the other girls much are you. I mean, you aint never had a boyfriend, even if you could dredge one up, you wouldn't be all sappy eh?"
" No Malfoy, I am not like the other girls. And that is most certainly for the best. The Day I start going ga ga over some guy, please shoot me"
" Oh with pleasure"
She gave him a sarcastic smile and set about making camp. She unpacked her bed and started blowing it up.
" What are you doing?" Malfoy asked, as he watched her going red with the effort of blowing
" What does it look like you idiot, I am blowing it up!"
" Don't tell me your going to do it by hand?"
" But Mr. Monte said-"
" your pathetic"
with a wave of his wand, her bed filled with invisible air. She tested it, it was perfectly comfortable, he'd done her a favour.
" thanks" she said meekly.
" hey, your cooking girl!"
" oh you sexist-!!"
She threw a pillow at him, but he exploded it with a flick of his wand. She stared at him.
" When did u get so quick with that?"
" Your not the only one around here who knows a spell"
" Oh, I know but- "
" Don't assume to know everything Granger, even though it suits you"
She was quite after that. ^^^^^^^^^^
Hermione watched, trying unsuccessfully to stifle her laughter. Malfoy was wrestling with his black satin sheets, trying from this angle and that to fit them on.
" stupid darn, why do they even need dumb sheets?"
Here let me, said Hermione finally giving in, and doing it for him. She did owe him a favour.
" I can't believe you muggels actually do this, don't you have house elves, or at least a maid?"
" Not all have the pleasure of being stinking rich"
" Hey don't call rich stinking, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it!" They were about to have yet another fight when the food appeared at their feet. A little white paper note was attached.
" Maybe this will keep you off each others throats! Have fun. MONTE" They tore into the food, although Hermione kept the note in her pocket. There was bread, and pumpkin juice, cheese, and cold meat. There was also pasta and raw vegies, all ovbiosly needing to be cooked.
" What is this, muggle studies?"
" Remember Mr.Monte said that to those who know little of muggle ways, they can be a threat too, this course it also to help those who don't know a lot about them"
" Well, whateva, you aint gonna see me cooking"
" Fine, but you can go hungry"
Hermione spent the remainder of the afternoon preparing dinner, it was much harder in the forest without electricity, gas, or a kitchen. She let Malfoy sweat a little wondering what he was possibly going to eat for his own dinner. She didn't tell him, but she had made more than enough for two. When she'd finished Malfoy came over to inspect her work.
" No wonder your so curvy! Look how much your eating!"
" You can take that back, or their wont be any for you! "
" What, Ms Ice Queen actully cooked me some" he said surprise mounting in his eyes.
" okay, okay, your figures great, now give me some, I'm starving! "
The hacked into the food, although Hermione ate her's slowly.
" what now?" he said,
" You gonna get all girly and eat only a salad eh?"
" You didn't have to be so insincere, you could have at least tried to lie"
He looked up at her, " I wasn't being insincere, it's true"
" Oh" she stammered before turning back towards her food.
