Hey guys! I've decided to update this story really quickly. And I'm going to update my other stories this holidays, I'm sorry about the delays but I guess I've had a writer's block and it doesn't help with getting flames from some of you people. Can I just say to you people reading this:
Us authors don't mind constructive criticism when you tell us what we've done wrong and how we can make things better, but just saying that 'this story sucks' as a wise reviewer told me for my last chapter, is just pathetic.
I don't want flames ok? I WILL laugh when I receive them, but that doesn't mean you should keep flaming. Just don't leave a review if you hate the story ok! Cause I don't want to know about it! I just want to write my story and have some reviews that are good and some constructive criticism ones.
SOZ ABOUT THE SERIOUSNESS PEOPLE! It's just that, that sort of stuff really annoys me and it's one thing I don't like about SOZ ABOUT THAT!
OH! And I mentioned the Forbidden forward in the first chapter. I meant FORBIDDEN FOREST! LOL….I looked back in the books and it says the Dark Forest? Is that what it ACTUALLY is? Well…it's staying my way in this story! ;
ANYWHOS! On with the RANDOM STORY!
Let the Dares Begin!
Draco stared up at the roof of his prefects room and sighed. How boring was the next two weeks going to be, with the little Mudblood and her slaves? Too boring…but he was going to make it fun…somehow! And who the hell was he going to ask? Well! Blaise for sure, but erm…Pansy? Draco shook his head and his eyes sparkled with humour. God…it was bad enough with her blackmailing him all the time, but imagine what she would do on a CAMP with him? He shuddered in obvious pain, and lay down on his bed. Granger would obviously have the weasel, Golden Boy and probably Weasel's sister…damn her to hell! He growled and rubbed his bruised face where she had punched him. I mean…he deserved it and all, but he was a cocky bastard, and cocky bastard's never say sorry, that includes if they aren't sorry and they should just say it anyway!
An example of this is with Blaise Zabini, Draco's best mate in the whole world. Although they were close, they LOVED getting the other into trouble. Here's an example:
A little gelled back haired Draco Malfoy in his first year of school at Hogwarts was having an interesting conversation with his best friend Blaise Zabini. The 2 had been friends for years and they knew everything about each other! This just happened to be one of those times where they were…you could say…reminiscing.
(Cut to conversation)
Blaise: "Remember that time when you were 5 and you were just learning how to use your magic, when your dad caught you trying to teach see monkeys how to talk?" a grinning Blaise asks Draco. Blaise lies back against his chair and waits for Draco's response.
Draco: "…."
Blaise grinned evilly and continued.
Blaise: "And that time you couldn't remove your pink floaties when we went swimming at the beach, and Granger showed up and cracked up soo much I think she peed her pants?"
Draco fell off his chair in embarrassment, and looked up at Blaise with a death glare written all over his face saying, 'do you want to die today? Or maybe in a FEW MINUTES!'
But Blaise ignored him and continued.
Blaise: And that time you came to my 6th Birthday party dressed as an olive? And that time yo-" Blaise got cut off as Draco jumped up and punched him square in the nose, leaving a twitching Blaise on the floor rubbing his injured nose and a table full of shocked Slytherins, who had just heard these lovely facts about Malfoy, well, speechless. (AN. Don't ask…lol)
Blaise screamed on the floor in pain and the Slytherin people jumped up, running around confused, not knowing what to do. Draco blinked in shock and stood up to help his friend off the ground. Blaise's eyes were squeezed tightly shut and he face told Draco that he was in obvious pain.
"Aw, man…what the hell is wrong with you? Get up!" Draco said nervously, pulling him sharply up by the arm that just made him scream out in pain even louder.
Then Professor McGonagall was there, lifting him up and helping him to get to the Nurse.
"Apologise immediately Mr Malfoy." Professor McGonagall said gravely.
Draco was about to apologise, when he looked at Blaise suspiciously. His eyes were slightly open and he winked at Draco. Why that little butt hole! He was getting him into trouble!
"Look at him, Professor. He's not in pain at all!" Draco shouted, pointing in horror at the winking, and now grinning Blaise, all signs of pain gone from his face.
McGonagall looked down suspiciously at Blaise, not believing what Draco was saying, and just like she thought, Blaise looked just as in pain as he was seconds before.
"That's it Mr Malfoy! I'm sick of your mucking around! A week of detention with me should solve your problem." She smiled evilly at him, and Draco gulped.
Blaise laughed silently and put his thumbs up at Draco when the Professor wasn't looking. All the other Slytherins were snickering around them and Draco growled. Damn him! If he wasn't his best mate right now…he'd kill him!
"That will be all, you may leave Mr Malfoy." Professor McGonagall said, turning away from him and talking softly to the other Slytherin boys in a serious like manner.
Blaise looked over at Draco again and grinned. Draco shook his head and gave him the evil eye before leaving.
"So what do you think Harry? Do you think it's a good idea? Because I certainly don't! I mean, since when have Slytherin House and Gryffindor House ever gotten along?" Hermione asked, exasperation filling her bedroom, ringing in the ears of both Ron and Harry.
"It won't work offcourse, but that doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun ey?" Harry replied patiently.
Hermione stood up from her chair and grinned at both of them.
"Well you both are coming with me aren't you? And Ginny?" She asked, with a tone in her voice that said, 'you'd better come or else!'
Ron smiled nervously at her. He was still drooling at the sight of Hermione in front of him. God…the guy thought she was a goddess or something!
"Offcourse, 'Mione. As if we wouldn't." He replied casually, putting his arm around Harry.
"Well that's in then." Harry rubbed his hands eagerly. "Go tell Ginny to pack her stuff, Ron. We head to the Forbidden Forest tomorrow." And with that he stood up to hug them both.
Blaise sighed, completely switched off to what Draco was trying to ask him. Draco was scooping through his wardrobe of clothes, trying to find some Slytherin type clothes, and frankly, this was boring him to no end.
"Should I get the green jacket and green pants? Or Silver jacket and green pants?" Draco asked thoughtfully in deep concentration.
Blaise walked over to where Draco was and smacked him lightly over the head. Draco's eyes widened but he grinned anyway.
"Take it all! We have to leave in 15 minutes. I don't know if you can carry it but HURRY UP!" He shouted, and rolled his eyes to show that he wasn't angry, gave him a thumbs up, then left his room.
Draco laughed and brought out a MASSIVE back pack from under his bed. Well…he was going to be a while, he thought dryly, looking up at the tower of clothing he had thrown on his bed.
Ginny growled in exasperation and turned to Harry.
"Can you PLEASE help me put this bag on Harry? It's killing me!" She asked, pointing to her medium sized back pack on the grass in front of her.
"Sure." He replied, smiling sweetly at her.
Ron rolled his eyes.
"I REALLY hope something happens with them soon, Hermione. This is torture just watching him drool over my sister like that!" Ron whispered to Hermione.
Hermione looked up at the sky and sighed. God…let Ron become smart someday…she prayed silently.
"You're one to talk!" She retorted, and walked away from him, leaving him to look like a lost puppy.
"What'd I say…?" He mumbled.
Draco watched as Hermione walked past him with her pack on her back. Her hair was up in a French braid, and oddly enough, she didn't look as ugly as she used to.
Thank god Draco had just come with Blaise and Pansy! He wouldn't have been able to cope with anymore people around him for 2 weeks. Just imagine what his father would say when he heard that he had to spend 2 weeks with a Mudblood!
He pulled his cloak around him and grinned at Blaise.
"So…do you think Granger would ever like me?" He asked.
Blaise grinned and patted him on the back.
"Anything can happen when you fall in love!" He replied, looking silently at Ginny walking next to Harry behind them. Draco saw something in his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.
"Does wittle Blaise have a cwush on a certain wed head?" He asked in a baby voice.
Blaise looked over at him in shock and his eyes widened.
"Not soo loud Draco! I don't want her to know anything!" He whispered.
Draco smiled and kicked a pebble in front of him, sending it flying to land up near Hermione was walking.
"I'll do a dare with you Blaise. No…make it a double dare. I dare you to make the Weasel's sister fall in love with you before the end of this camp, so then you will stop moping around like a stuffed bunny!" He said triumphantly, extremely proud with his idea for his friend.
Blaise smiled nervously. Why not? What did he have to lose? It wasn't like he was going to be up against Potter or something. (AN…how wrong he is…lol…)
"Sure…but in return…I want to see some action with you and Granger! No more of this fighting! Just some teasing alright?" He asked, poking Draco in the ribs.
Draco laughed and raised his head in a cocky manner, then bowed to Blaise. (AN…They're still walking through the woods during this, but they're minds are on other things…LOL)
"Certainly, but I refuse to fall in love like you will. Malfoy's don't love!" He pointed out, smirking at Blaise.
"We'll see…" Blaise smiled secretly and ran up to Hermione, intent on pissing off Draco to no end. Draco shouted at him and ran up to him to walk on the other side of Hermione.
Ron watched them run up to Hermione and he looked sharply at Harry and Ginny.
"Should we stop them?" he asked.
Ginny sighed and shook her head.
"Unless you want to go on ANOTHER camp with these Slytherins I suggest we leave them to it." She replied.
Ron nodded and for the first time, looked behind him. Pansy was walking slowly, taking her time and looking up at the trees around her. Her friends must have forgotten about her…shows how close they are, he thought.
"Pansy hurry up!" He shouted at her, and she grinned and jogged up to them.
"Shut up Weasel! I'm coming!" she hissed, flicking her hair black hair out of her face.
Ginny and Ron rolled their eyes, while Harry stared at her…some sort of new interest perking up inside him.
Hermione scowled at the 2 stupid boys next to her.
"Do you boys ever shut up! As you can see I DON'T want to know about new broomsticks and I DON'T want to know about new boxers that you both just got! So please…just leave me in peace." She begged.
Draco and Blaise grinned at each other, silent agreement coming from the 2. Blaise nodded and walked back over to talk to Pansy.
Hermione looked suspiciously at Draco and couldn't help but notice how the sun was shining on his blonde hair. His slightly red cheeks were noticeable on his tanned skin that must have changed after doing soo much Quidditch, and his silver eyes were sparkling like never before, only a glimmer of the evil Draco that she had become accustomed to for 6 years.
"So Granger…" He asked, walking closer to where she was, his cargo pants knocking every few steps with her long slender legs in her mini shorts.
"Are you ready for an adventure for a lifetime?" he asked, smirking as she tried to move away from him.
"Not really Malfoy…not with you anyway." She retorted.
"Get your mind out of the gutter Mudblood. I wanted to talk to you about a letter that Dumbledore addressed to me and you, and I thought you should take a look at it." He pulled an envelope out of his pants pocket and handed it to her.
Hermione snarled and snatched it from him. She opened it carefully and peered at the writing.
"Dear Mr Malfoy and Miss Granger,
I hope you enjoy your 2 week trip getting to know each other. It shall be quite an experience for you both I can imagine. (Draco smirked at this)
I just wanted to let you both know that there are directions inside this envelope, and every few hours of the day you will get to an area of the forest where there shall be another note lying there. This is the place where you will set up camp, and I have made sure to place them in the safer parts of the wood, because as you both know from experience, the woods aren't safe at night.
Please enjoy your camp and each other's company! No naughty business! (Hermione's eyes widened in horror while Draco smirked)
Sincerely,
Professor Dumbledore
Hermione stared at Draco, shock filling her eyes.
"No naughty business! EW! Like I would ever do such a thing!" She shouted at him, her voice raising several octaves.
"Who knows Granger…" Draco drawled, giving her a sexy smile.
Hermione rolled her eyes and chucked the letter at him, before turning to walk ahead, speeding up at a quickening pace.
"Wait!" Draco shouted, running after her disappearing figure, but Hermione was out of view, because she had just raced around a nearby corner. How did the girl run soo fast with a heavy backpack? Draco wondered…trying to heave his massive back pack comfortably on his bag, before running after her.
"We're here!" He heard her shout, and a little tingle jumped in his stomach at the sound of her voice. He shook the feeling away and ran up to where she was, the others close behind him.
Ron, Ginny and Harry raced up to Hermione, with Blaise and Pansy coming to stand close to Draco.
Hermione smiled at her friends and scowled at the Slytherins. She held up a letter in her hand and opened it for them all to see.
Ginny looked around quickly and shivered stepping closer to the person next to her, realising that it was Blaise. Before she could step any closer to the eager look on Blaise's face, Harry grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him, pulling off her bag in the process.
"Dear Children,
Have fun tonight. I have placed 3 tents in the campsite for you all. But…there will be an extra tent because you are in uneven numbers. So this person will be in charge of keeping watch during the night and will be the leader during the following day. Please set up in partners from the opposite house, and swap partners each night, but don't worry, you will have many opportunities to have another night with another member of the opposite house if you wish. Watch out for bears!
Professor Dumbledore"
"BEARS!" Ron shouted, looking quickly around him.
Harry grinned at him and smiled nervously.
"He must be joking? Right?" He asked, looking around the campsite which was bare except for a fire place, 3 packages that must have been the tents, and thick trees all around them.
Draco smirked and stepped forward.
"Who cares? We all know how to use magic, unless the Weasel still doesn't. We'll be fine." He smirked at Ron and Pansy and Blaise sniggered.
"Oh shut up!" Hermione screamed, tired after the long walk to get there. "Let's just pick our partners ok?" She added calmly.
They all nodded and Blaise stepped out first.
"I'd like to be with Ginny. I don't want to be with the Weasel and definitely NOT Golden Boy." He said, smiling with a tinge of evilness in his eyes, when he turned to Ginny.
"Whatever…It's only one night…" Ginny replied vaguely, and locked eyes with Blaise, a slight shake in her knees when she noticed how handsome his brown scruffy hair looked and how shiny his eyes were when they were looking at her. She blushed and picked up her bag to walk off with Blaise towards a nearby tent.
"WHAT! THE OUTRAGE!" Harry screamed. And looked at the retreating figure of Ginny in absolute shock.
Ron put his hand on Harry's arm, obviously trying to remain calm himself.
"Let them Harry. You know we can't go with people from our house so this has to be the way. PLUS, I don't want my sister having the influence of Malfoy or Parkinson." He sniffed.
"HEY!" Pansy and Draco replied, very insulted.
"Well…I'm not staying with any of those 2!" Ron shouted, pointing at Pansy and Draco.
"I'm staying in my own tent tonight, thankyou!" Ron nodded his head and smiled at Harry and Hermione, who had suspicious looks on their faces, before turning away with his things towards one of the tent bags.
"Then that leaves me with you…" Harry turned to Pansy bravely, trying to ignore the look she was giving him…kinda like stripping him with her eyes…which was slightly scary!
"If you wish…" she growled, smiling slyly at Draco before skipping to a nearby tent. (AN…Yes…skipping…I'm going to make Pansy not soo bad in this story! YAY!)
Hermione looked at Draco and realised what was about to happen. She had to spend the night with him! Damn this to hell!
"I guess I'm with you then." She looked up at him and he smirked.
"It seems you are right Mudblood." He answered, looking at her long legs with hunger in his eyes.
"Stop that!" She snarled, but smiled quickly, because she was slightly happy that someone was paying attention to her other then Ron.
Draco looked at her suspiciously and her smile changed into a smirk quite like Draco's.
"Wow Granger…I never knew you had it in you." He said admiringly, noting how gorgeous she looked with his smirk on her face, but quickly wiped away those thoughts.
"There's a lot about me you don't know Malfoy…and I don't know if you'll ever know either…" She said mysteriously and looked away from him, already feeling that familiar tingling feeling coming into her stomach. Could Draco be feeling these feelings that she was starting to feel…maybe…for him?
She picked up her bag and walked awkwardly up to a tent with Draco behind her. She didn't notice the thumbs up that Draco and Blaise gave each other…and the silent words that they both understood: 'Let the dares begin'.
Hope you enjoyed that chapter! I've decided officially that the coupling will be Draco/Hermione, Harry/Pansy and Ginny/Blaise. I hope you all don't mind…lol….that Ron will be by himself…he he he…..I may change the coupling later but remember that this is mostly a Draco/Hermione – Romantic Comedy so I'll be focusing on them a lot.
What's coming up:
Spending a duo night with a tent partner of Dumbledore's choice
Canoeing and someone's life's in danger
Beasts in the Forest
New enemies which may mean that this group have to WORK TOGETHER to overcome what awaits them
A never ending maze, or so it seems!
AND MORE!
So please read and REVIEW so I shall update quickly!
Love Roz xoxoxoxo
