Heyhey, How goes it?
And thanks to all those who reviewed! Now, on with chapter 10. D/C I own nothing... ...
Chapter 10: Cole's Point
They drove down what seemed to be an endless dirt road. Finally after going over many speed bumps they came to the General Store and Office. Right across from the store on the left, was the pool, and behind the store was the park, across from the park, to the left, was the arcade and trailer park. Ahead were the cottages and the lake.
They pulled up in front of the office. "Ok, you wait here and I'll go and find out which cottage were in and get the keys." John said, opening the van door and climbing out.
"This looks so fun! I can't wait to explore! Don't you think this is going to be fun?" Hermione asked Draco and Dan. "I could think of other things I would like to be doing." Draco stated. Hermione's smile dropped. Dan noticed this.
"Well I think it's going to be a blast Hermione." Dan said making her smile, and then sending a glare to his cousin who just turned away.
John came back five minutes later with the keys. "Were in cottage 9. It's right on the point looking out over the whole lake. It's supposed to be really private." So from the office the drove straight over yet another speed bump and then turned left driving past all the cottages and unpacking muggles, to their cottage.
Once they van stopped they all got out to look around. There cottage was facing the lake, and really was private. It had two docks down near the water.
Once they got everything into the cottage, they looked around. To there right as soon as you walk in was the bathroom. To there left, the kitchen and a little sitting area. And straight ahead were the bedrooms.
In two of the bedrooms were a dresser and a double bed. And in the third bedroom was a double bed and one set on single bunk beds. Draco ran to the room and jumped on the double bed. "This is my bed!" "Fine me and Dan will take the bunk beds. I get the top!" Hermione said and climbed up the ladder.
"Alright, since that's settled, let's start putting this stuff away shall we?" Narcissa said grabbing her trunk.
"Kids were going into town to for some things, so um I guess explore the camp ground." Sarah said handing Hermione an extra cottage key.
"And be good." Narcissa said looking pointedly at Draco and Dan, who both pretended to look innocent.
"Alright so what are we going to do?" Dan asked.
"Explore!" "Sleep!" Draco and Hermione said simultaneously. "Exploring it is." Dan said, liking Hermione's idea more then Draco's.
"Ugh, fine we'll explore if we must." Draco said rolling his eyes and heading for the door.
So, they started on their way past cottages and the docks and boat launch, till they got to the main large dock. When they got there, two young guys about there age, we're fishing.
"Hey!" Hermione said brightly. "Catch anything?" She asked. "No, not yet, nothing's biting." Replied the boy with dark hair.
"Oh, well I'm Hermione Granger," She said sticking out her hand. "And that's Draco, and Dan Malfoy."
"I'm Mark," Replied the one boy taking Hermione's out stretched hand. "And I'm Josh." Said the one with dark hair.
Mark was about 6'0 with dirty blonde shaggy hair, and bright blue eyes. Josh on the other hand was 5'8, 5'9, with jet-black hair and hazel eyes.
"So, your British eh?" Josh asked. "Yeah, were here on vacation." Dan replied. "That's cool, were actually done fishing now, we're out of worms. Did you guys want to come with us to the arcade?" Mark asked as he reeled in his line, Josh doing the same.
"Yeah sure! Were not doing anything and were going to go up there eventually anyway." Hermione said.
"Ok, cool. We'll meet you there in about 10, 15 minutes, just got to put this stuff away, and get some money."
"Ok, see you soon." She said as they left.
"Well off to the arcade then I guess." Dan said and linked arms with Hermione. "Yes off to the arcade we go." She said laughing. "Come on Draco." She called and he followed slowly and not very willingly behind.
Once at the arcade, Hermione quickly explained how everything worked before Mark and Josh got there.
There were video games, a pool table, ping-pong table, and a cd player.
"So, since there are five of us, someone's going to have to sit out, so either of you not want to play? She asked the boys.
"No I want to play." They both answered at the same time. "Ok then, that's what I thought. I'll watch you guys."
Just then Josh and Mark walked in. "Ok, you guys want to play pool?" "Yeah, me and Dan are playing, Hermione wants to watch." "Alright Dan, you can be on my team and Draco you can be with Josh." Mark said.
So Hermione took a seat on one of the many tables, while the boys got the pool sticks and set up the balls.
"Who's going to break first?" Josh asked. "You guys can." So, Josh broke and the game began.
Half an hour past and Mark and Dan were in the lead. It was Josh and Draco's turn so Dan and Mark were standing off to the side.
"Hey, does Hermione, um have a boyfriend?" Mark asked quietly, kind of embarrassed. "No, not that I know of." "So you don't like her? What about Draco? I don't want to, you know ask her out or something if one of you like her," He said. "I only like her as a friend, and well Draco and her don't get along at all," Dan replied. "Oh, ok."
Suddenly they all jumped at the sound of music and someone going "G G G G, G-Unit!" The cd player had started playing Bump Bump by B2K Featuring 50 Cent.
"What the hell is a G G G G, G-Unit?" Draco asked imitating the song. "G G G G, Gorilla Unit!" Mark replied, they all laughed except Draco. "What?" "G- Unit is the name of a band, it stands for Gorilla Unit. At least, I think it does." Josh said grinning.
"Oh," So for the next three minutes they listened to random shouts of "G G G G, G-Unit!" (A/N I'm not sure if that's what G-Unit means, that's just what someone told me, if I'm wrong...oh well lol)
"Ok, I can't take much more of this," Draco complained. "We've lost all five games, Hermione switch with Josh." "What? You can't do that, that's not fair." Josh said. "Yes it is, you suck and Hermione hasn't played."
"Fine." Josh grumbled and handed Hermione the pool stick and went to change the music.
"What to play, what to play," he asked himself.
He flipped through all the cds looking for at least one good song. "Ha! This is a good song." He put in his money and pushed some buttons and 'Waldorf Worldwide' started playing.
Josh walked back over to the pool table and started dancing around and singing along.
"Waldorf, Nap town... Worldwide... WHAT!... Come on... get up, get up, get up... Come on... yeah... break it - break it - break it down what... Tickey Tickey!
Everything's gonna be all right now
Everything's gonna be all right
Get down stay up all night now
Lets do this one more time
Everything'll be alright, alright
Bring it in, bring it what
Bring in the verse,"
"Listen up cause there ain't nothing funny
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money
I wanna little house where my band can live
Cause we're tired of moving every other weekend
I wanna go to parties
Where they ain't got no guns,"
At this part Josh made his hands look like he was holding a gun. By this time Hermione, Dan, Draco and Mark were all watching him and cheering him on.
"I wanna rock with my band
I wanna have a little fun
Where thugs and punks, and any other type
Can sing this song and sing it all night, sing it!"
"Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
Get down, stay up all night now
Lets do this one more time
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, alright"
"All I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
All I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share"
"And I don't wanna run for the president
I just want an honest way to pay my rent
And I'm tired of the man always shutting us down
And I'm tired of my old man cause he's never around
And I'm tired of eating of other people's plates
And I don't look important so they're telling me to wait
Police records said they wouldn't exist
And I wanna know the meaning of a Christmas list
All I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
All I wanna do is make something from nothing
Its GC baby and we're working with something"
"Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
Get down, stay up all night now
Lets do this one more time
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, alright"
"We'll be self made millionaires
These lives we lead with out a care, oh yeah
And we'll see what we'll be"
"Everything's gonna be all right now
Everybody say oh yeah that's rights
Everything gonna be all right now
Everybody sing it one more time.
Everything's gonna be alright, alright"
"We'll see you when we get there
We'll see you when we get there
On the video
Or the radio
In the magazines
On the movies screens"
At the end of the song Josh dropped to the floor and lied there.
They all came over so that they were standing over him. "Wow that takes a lot out of you," he said grinning. They all laughed and went back to there game of pool.
Walking back to the cottage after they all left for dinner, Draco was thinking about how much fun he had playing pool and watching Josh sing and dance around. 'Maybe it won't be that bad' he thought.
"It's about time you guys got back." Sarah said as they came walking back. "Sorry, we met some people and went to the arcade," Dan explained. "Alright, anyways come inside and get something to eat, then you can get the fire going."
Once inside they sat down and had hot dogs and hamburgers for supper.
"So what are you guys up to tonight?" Lucius asked. "I want to go catch frogs and crayfish." Hermione said.
"Oh cool, frog hunting." Draco said happily. "Who knows maybe will catch a snake too." "Really?" Draco said getting excited.
"Yeah," Hermione laughed. "Maybe."
"Ok this is bugging me, why can't we just use magic to light the damn thing?" Draco grumbled.
"Because it's no fun that way, plus we can't. Here move over I'll do it, pass me three logs and some paper." Draco did as he was told.
Hermione stood the three logs together so that they made a t-pee shape in the middle of the fire pit.
Then she crumpled up some paper and put it between the logs. "Hand me that lighter will you Dan?" Dan passed her the thing he hoped was a lighter. "Thanks," With that she lit the paper, and had a fire going.
Draco glared. "You make it look so easy," "That's cause it is," She said grinning. He rolled his eyes.
The adults came out a little while later with some lawn chairs and placed them around the fire pit. "We have small nets right dad?" Hermione asked. "Yes, they should be in with the fishing things." "Ok." Hermione said. She walked into the cottage, grabbed three nets, two pails and three flashlights.
Back outside Dan was telling Draco what Mark had said. "So, he likes her?" "Apparently, I think it's more of a physical thing as he just met her. He said he had to talk to you later to find out if you liked her." "Oh, well I don't like her like that." "Not yet anyway." Dan mumbled. "What did you say?" "Nothing." "Liar." "So?" "Tell me."
"Tell you what?" Hermione asked coming up behind them. "Uh, nothing," They both said a little to quickly. "Um ok." She said looking at them both uncertainly.
"Before we go we should put on some warm clothes, so we stay warm and don't get eaten alive by bugs." "Granger, we are wearing warm clothes." Draco pointed out. "Oh, right," She said blushing. "Well I'm going to get a sweater." She came out a minute later with a dark green 'Campus Crew' sweater on. She then sprayed bug spray on herself and then Dan and Draco.
"Anyways, we're going now, we'll be back later." Hermione said.
"Ok, be careful."
So off they went up and down the docks looking in the water, under rocks, behind bushes, and trees occasionally shouting out 'Got one!' or 'I need another net!'
Draco was becoming very annoyed that they hadn't found a snake yet.
They had now come up to the boat launch where you put your boats in the water.
Dan was near the waters edge, Hermione was looking in the holes in the ground near the tree and Draco was on the end of the dock looking for a snake.
Meanwhile Josh and Mark had showed up and Mark hinted for Dan, Josh, and Hermione to be quite.
He crept up onto the dock and slowly walked towards Draco.
Draco was to busy looking over the edge of the dock to notice someone behind him. "What is that down there?" He mumbled to himself. Mark looked over his shoulder to see what Draco was looking at, and then, he saw it. "THAT'S A FISH!" He yelled making Draco jump.
"Ahhhhh," he screamed and then fell into the pitch-black lake. Hermione, Dan and Josh were trying to hold themselves up, because they were laughing so hard. Mark had now turned around to face them. He was grinning, and because if this he didn't see Draco's hand come up and reach for his ankle.
Well there you have it. The re-done versions. Not much better, or longer, but I tried.
