"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.

Now On Funny How Things Happen

Hermione awoke to the sound of someone stumbling around in the kitchen. Her and Dan ended up going to bed around 2a.m long after the parents had gone to bed. Draco had unlocked the door sometime before then, but they were to in to watching their movie to notice.

She kicked off the covers and climbed down the ladder on the bunk beds being careful not to wake up Dan. She looked over to Draco's bed and saw that it was empty.

She opened the door quietly as to not wake Dan, and slipped out into the kitchen.

---

Draco had woken up long before anyone else had. He looked towards the bunk beds and noticed Hermione and Dan both sleeping peacefully. He scowled then made his way out of bed and towards the bathroom.

After his visit to the bathroom he headed out into the kitchen and sitting area where he noticed there was a note on the table. He sat down, grabbed it and proceeded to read it.

Kids,

John, Lucius, Narcissa and I have deiced to go into town and spend the day there. You are free to do what you like. We rented a boat before we left so you can take that out. Hermione you know how to work it. Make sure you bring life jackets. You also know where the fishing stuff is. We won't be home till around suppertime or just a little bit after. If one of you could start a fire around that time it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a bunch! Have fun today.

Sarah.

'Great,' He thought. 'I'm stuck here all day with Granger and Dan. This couldn't possibly get any worse.' He thought as he threw the note on the table and went to make some breakfast.

Once he figured out how to work the oven, he made himself some eggs and bacon. Just as he was finishing he heard a bedroom door open and close quietly. He turned and stared open mouthed at what he saw.

---

Hermione stepped out into the kitchen to the smell of bacon and eggs cooking. 'Mmm. Smell's so good.' She thought. Just then she saw who was cooking.

"Malfoy," She said. "Huh. I didn't know you could cook, let alone use a muggle stove." She said staring at him. He didn't reply. He was just staring at her. Hermione started to feel uncomfortable.

"Hello? Earth to Malfoy!" She said. He still stared. 'What is he staring at?' She thought. And then it occurred to her. She looked down. Hermione was wearing a very low pair of boy cut underwear and a really skimpy tank top. 'Oh my god,' She thought turning beat red. She turned around and raced back into her room to change.

---

Draco shook himself out of his little daze and focused on what he was doing. 'Wow,' He thought. 'I didn't know Granger had a body.' Then he laughed as he remembered the look on her face when she realized what she was wearing.

Hermione appeared a couple minutes later wearing a pair of jean shorts and a couple layered tank tops. She sat down at the table and realized that her parents bedroom door, and the Malfoy's bedroom door were already open.

"Where are our parents?" She asked Draco as he stuffed his face full of bacon. 'God, he's just like Ron,' She thought. "Der on ut," Draco said, his mouth full of food.

Hermione just looked at him.

"What?"

Draco swallowed and repeated himself. "They're gone out. What was so hard to understand about that Granger?" He asked. "Gee I don't know, maybe the fact that your mouth was filled with food?" She said and grabbed the note and read it.

'Great. Stuck here all day with this git.' She thought. 'Oh well. Dan's here and so are Mark and Josh, maybe they'll come fishing with us.'

"So ferret, do you know how to fish?" She asked getting up to make herself some breakfast. "No I don't know how to fish. Why would I want to fish when I can hire someone to catch me them and cook them for me?" He sneered.

Hermione sighed. "Never mind."

So they sat and ate in complete silence until of course they heard Dan stumble out of bed and open the bedroom door.

He walked out wearing a pair of black boxers and slowly made his way to the bathroom. He came back out a couple minutes later and plopped himself down on a chair and put his head on the table.

Hermione grinned, and Draco got up to put his dishes in the sink.

"Not much of a morning-person are you Dan?" Hermione asked taking a sip of milk. "How did you guess?" He asked, turning his head to look at her. "Oh, you know," She said and trailed of smiling.

Draco headed off into the bedroom to get changed into some clothes while Hermione did up the dishes and asked Dan if he wanted anything to eat. "Nah," He mumbled. "I don't normally eat breakfast, I'm never hungry." "Okay then."

"So," Dan said. "Where is everyone?" "Oh. My parent's and Malfoy's parents went into town for the day. They won't be back till around dinnertime. So they rented us a boat so we can go fishing today if you want."

Dan looked thoughtful. "I've never been fishing, so you're going to have to teach me." She laughed. "Don't worry, I will."

"Well it's 10:30 now, when did you guys wanna go?" She asked as Draco came back out wearing a pair of shorts and a black t-shirt. He shrugged his shoulders. Hermione looked at Dan for help.

"Just let me go get dressed and then we can go if you want," He said then jumped up and took off to get changed. He came back out looking almost identical to Draco, except he had on a white t-shirt. "Okay ready." He said and grinned.

"Okay, you guys go outside and get all the fishing stuff and bring it down to the dock, and don't forget the life jackets! I'll be down in a minute I'm just going to get us a cooler with drinks and snacks." Hermione said getting busy.

"Okay, lets go Draco." Dan said and he and Draco made their way outside.

---

"Okay, where's this fishing stuff she was talking about?" Dan asked looking around. "How should I know? I don't know what fishing stuff looks like." Draco replied.

So Dan and Draco stood there for about 5 minutes waiting for Hermione to come out so she could help them.

---

Hermione came outside carrying a small cooler full of drinks and some snacks. She walked towards the dock but stopped when she realized Draco and Dan weren't down there.

She looked around to the side of the cottage were all the outdoor cottage stuff was and saw them both standing there looking extremely confused and annoyed.

She walked over. "What are you doing?" She asked. "We don't know what fishing stuff is." They said simultaneously. "Oh." Hermione laughed.

She quickly proceeded to tell them what was what, and how everything worked, and then got them to carry it all down to the dock .

Hermione was ahead of them and walked out onto the dock without a second thought. Draco and Dan stopped dead at the end of the dock once they witnessed Hermione step on it, and then noticed that the dock was moving. Just bobbing up and down.

Hermione turned around and noticed that they weren't on the dock. She looked confused.

"What are you doing? Come on, do you wanna go fishing or not?" She said getting impatient.

"Why is the wood thing moving?" Dan asked.

Realization flashed across Hermiones face. They had never seen a dock before, let alone stood on one.

"It's okay guys. It floats on water. It's supposed to move up and down. Come on, it's safe I promise."

"Oh that makes me feel so much better." Draco drawled, but slowly made his way onto the dock with Dan right behind him. "This isn't so bad," Dan said.

"I told you," Hermione said. "Now pass me that stuff so I can load the boat and we can get going. At this rate, by the time we get out there it'll be time to come back home." She said starting to load the boat. "Oh shut up Granger," Draco said. Hermione just glared.

"Alright, get into the boat so I can untie it. And don't sit back near the motor, I need to sit there so I can steer." She said holding the boat agasint the dock so the boys could climb in.

"Why do you get to control the motor box thing?" Draco asked climbing in and sitting down.

"Do you know how to work it?"

"No,"

"Well then there's your answer." She said as Dan climbed in.

"Now I need you two to hold on to the dock so I can untie the boat and then you need to hold it so I can get in so it doesn't float away." She said. The boys grabbed the dock, but not hard enough.

As soon as both ropes were untied, she threw the ropes into the boat and was about to get in, when a large speed boat went crusing by cause huge waves to crash against the dock and the boat, which lead to Draco and Dan losing their grip on the dock.

The boat slowly floated away from the dock. Hermione looked amused, and Dan and Draco just looked horrified.

"Granger, get us back to the dock right now!" Malfoy growled. Dan nodded in agreement. "Oh settle down, nothing's going to happen to you. You have to wait now," She said and turned away from them and headed back towards the cottage.

"What? Hey! Where are you going!" Malfoy yelled at her retreating figure.

"Hey! Hey Hermione! You can't just leave us here!" Dan yelled as they floated further away from the dock.

Hermione just giggled as she heard them yell.

"GRANGER!"

Haha. I'm so evil. Poor Draco and Dan. Alone in a boat with no idea how to work it.
Anyways, review and tell me what you thought. And if you have any ideas about what you what to happen through out the story, let me know, I'm open to suggestions.
