Chapter 11: The Lake Incident

Heyy, so I'm pretty sure it's been forever since I updated and that my poor story is probably forgotten by now. But I have some chapters written and after a very bad writers block, I have solved my problem. Yay. So here's the next chapter.

Chapter 11: The Lake Incident

Previously On Funny How Things Happen

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.

Mark was standing on the edge of the dock looking towards Hermione, Dan and Josh grinning. Suddenly he felt something wrap around his ankle. He stopped laughing and turned to look down and what had suddenly grabbed him.

- - -

Draco surfaced, coughing and sputtering on the ice cold water. The other's couldn't hear him over their loud laughter.

'So they think this is funny do they? Well they won't be laughing soon. Who does that muggle think he is? Embarassing me in front of the mudblood Granger!' He thought to himself.

'Ah, but she isn't a mudblood Draco.' Came another voice inside his head. 'She's a pureblood just like you are.' The voice reminded him.

"Shut up!" Draco muttered to himself, and then shook all thoughts from his head.

"What goes around comes around muggle," Draco muttered and reached up, grabbed Mark's ankle and pulled.

- - -

Mark lost his balance and fell backwards into the lake. "Ahhh," Was Dan, Hermione and Josh heard before Mark vanished off the dock.

"Mark!" Haermione gasped as they all raced to the end of the dock and peered down at Mark.

Mark broke the surface of the lake, just as Draco had, coughing and spitting up mouthfuls of cold water. He looked up at the faces looking down at him.

"Are you alright?" Hermione asked. "Yeah, I'm fine." Mark said starting to laugh. The other's started to grin. He splashed them all.

"Wait a second," Josh said wiping water off his face. "Where's Draco?" Hermione and Dan looked at each other horrified.

"Oh my gosh!" Hermione yelled. "Malfoy!" She yelled, standing up and surveying the area for any signs of the blonde haired boy. Dan did the same, looking around for his missing cousin. Josh started to help pull Mark out of the water and onto the dock.

"Hey, isn't that Draco over there?" Mark said pointing towards the boat launch. Dan and Hermione whipped around and watched as Draco made his way out of the water and up the cement ramp and back to wards the cottage.

- - -

"Are you okay?" Draco mimicked Hermione. "Stupid Granger, and Dan! Let's not worry about Draco, let's just worry about poor muggle Mark. Stupid bloody gits." He mumbled shaking water off himself as he made his way back to the cottage.

---

"Uh oh," Dan said. "What?" Hermione asked. "He is not happy at all." Dan stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Is he ever happy?" Hermione asked. Dan just gave her a look. "Sorry, that was rude." She said. "How can you tell he's not happy just from looking at him from behind? You can't even see his face."

"Draco's my cousin. I've known him since we were babies. I know that walk. It's his 'I'm pissed off get of out my way or I'll blow you to smithereens' walk." He stated. "Oh," Hermione said.

"He's really mad about me pushing him into the lake?" Mark asked coming up behind them. "I was only playing around, I didn't know he would get so angry about it."

"Yes well Malfoy is a very angry person." Hermione said. Again, Dan just looked at her. "What? It's true, you don't know the Malfoy that I know." She argued. "Yes, and you don't know the Draco I know." He replied and ambled off after his cousin.

"What was that all about?" Josh asked. "Nothing, don't worry about it." Hermione mumbled watching Dan catch up to Draco. She turned back to the two boys. "I suppose I better get back and make sure he is okay. So, we shall see you tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yeah for sure!" They replied. "Okay, great. See you later." Hermione said and started to make her way back to the cottage. "Hey Hermione!" Mark called. Hermione stopped and turned. "Yes?" "Tell Draco I'm sorry?" He asked. "Yeah, okay sure." "Thanks." "Don't worry about it." She replied and turned around and headed back towards the cottage.

---

"Draco!" Dan yelled. "Hey Draco wait up man! Geeze slow down." Dan yelled as he jogged to catch up with him. Draco continued to ignore him. "Dude, what is your problem? Relax will you?" Dan said.

Draco stopped and whipped around to face Dan. "My problem? What is MY problem you ask?" He said angrily. 'Those muggles are my problem. And Granger." He thought. 'Who do those muggles think they are? Pushing me into that bloody lake like that! And Granger 'Oh we would love to go to the arcade with you!' And then you two both just laugh when I end up in the lake, but when Mark does it's all 'Oh gosh Mark are you okay?' '

"You know what? Don't worry about it." He said and stormed off, leaving Dan there shaking his head.

"So, Hermione is a babe eh?" Mark said to Josh as they made their way back to their own cottage at the other end of the campground. "Yeah, she is pretty cute. You thinking of hooking up with her?" Josh asked grinning. "Oh of course man! A little sweet-talking here and there, she won't be able to resist me. Then I'll get what I want, and then I never have speak to her again. All is well my friend." Mark said smirking.

"Hmm. I don't think that's gunna work this time my friend. She seems like a really good girl. Not the type to just put out like the girls you're used to." Josh stated kicking a rock as they walked. "Not to mention, she has those guys with her."

"Pfft. We don't have to worry about those idiots." Mark said. "That Dan guy already seems to like us, it's that Draco guy who seems like he's gunna cause problems."

"I dunno man. If anything I think Dan will cause problems for you. Him and Hermione seem to be better friends. I think he'd protect her or something like that if you tried anything funny with her." Josh said. "Where as I don't think that Draco dude would care at all."

"You know, you may have a point. And what kind of name is Draco anyway? Like seriously dude, what were his parents smoking when they named him?" Mark said.

"I don't know but either way I'm sure you'll figure out something to get her into your bed. You always do." Josh stated looking a little disturbed. Mark didn't notice this in the dark.

"Don't worry. I always get what I want. Always," He said smirking.

Draco walked up to the cottage, and was greeted by his parents and the Granger's sitting around the fire that Hermione had built earlier that evening.

At the sound of his footsteps, the adults looked up.

"Draco! What ever happened?" Sarah said starting to grin. "None of your business." Draco replied nastily.

"Draco Malfoy! You apologize right now for being so rude." Narcissia ordered. Draco just looked at her, and then stormed into the cottage.

"Don't worry about is Cissy, teen's will be teens." Sarah said. "I'm so sorry Sarah, I don't know what that boys problem is."

Just then they heard a couple more sets of footsteps and looked up to see Dan walking up to camp with Hermione not to far behind him.

"Hermione, what happened to Draco?" Her father asked raising an eyebrow. "What? Don't look at me like that! I didn't do anything to him!" She said. "Then what happened?" He asked.

"He was pushed into the lake Mr. Granger." Dan replied. "Pushed? By who?" Lucius asked. "By some guys we met earlier. They were just fooling around." "I see." The parents murmured.

"Well, um I'm going into bed now, night!" Hermione said and went into the cottage. "I'm pretty tired too, good night." Dan said and followed Hermione into the cottage.

The adults watched them go and then looked at each other. "I think this is going to be a lot harder then I thought this was going to be." Lucius stated. "Yes, I suppose you're right." Came the reply.

Once inside Hermione began to set up the tv and dvd player that they had brought, while Dan made some popcorn. After of course, being taught by Hermione on how to make it.

Draco, of course, had locked himself in their room, so they had to wait until he decided he wanted to come out before they would be able to go in there.

"I hope he decides to come out soon." Hermione said, plugging in wires. "I want to get into something more comfortable, and something that doesn't smell like bug spray." Dan laughed.

"So that's what that awful smell is!" Hermione threw a pillow at him. "Just kidding Mione, geeze." He smiled. "Yeah yeah, hurry up with that pop corn will you? The movie is about to start." She said as she sat down with the remote.

"It's coming, geeze are you always this bossy?" He said removing the hot bag of popcorn from the microwave and putting it into the bowl.

"Yep I am. Better get used to it." She replied smiling. "Oh joy," He said and yet another pillow hit him in the face.

'Listen to them out there,' Draco thought angrily lying on his bed. 'I can't believe I'm stuck here all summer with Granger. This is going to be torture.' He thought. And with that, rolled over and tried to fall asleep.

So there you have it.
