Traveling

The jeeps bumpy travel through the underbrush leading into the jungle made Draco nervous, so nervous in fact that every time it shuddered or seemed to almost flip over a bump, he would grab Hermione's arm and squeeze it causing her it have a pained look on her face most of the ride. And then it stopped. The jeeps driver a mister Jerome Palinogner turned in his seat and nodded to them. "This is as far as I can take you." he told them in broken English. Hermione nodded and jumped out of the jeep Draco already out of it and kissing the ground.

Hermione grabbed the two bags out of the back and walked over to Draco moist dirt becoming upturned behind her. "Malfoy get off the ground we have to reach the village before night fall." Behind them Jerome wheeled his car off and down the dirt road.

Draco just looked up at her from the ground. "We have plenty of time Granger, what's the big rush?"

"The big rush is at night time animals will hunt you, in the dark." she growled at him, putting emphasis on the word dark. Draco stood up brushed himself off. "Well then lets go!" He started in the forest Hermione hitting herself with the palm of her hand.

"Why did I have to take him?" she asked herself. And with that she followed him into the large forest.

In the Jungle the mighty jungle

Draco and Hermione breezed through the jungle a startled dog, jumping up after them. Hermione and Draco payed no heed to it, they had been walking for four hours straight and had seen no village although Hermione promised it was just up ahead. They stopped to rest at a large fallen tree Draco leaning up against it, Granger had already told him about the cutter ants.

Hermione opened her backpack and rummaged inside, her hand going deeper then what a normal bags reach should. Draco raised an eyebrow at her. "How much stuff do you have in there?" Hermione pulled her arm back out bring with her a pack of jerky and bottled water. "Just a few things we need." Draco reached over and grabbed the pack from her. "Hey give that back!" Draco turned from her and shook it next to his ear listing to everything rattling in it. "Bloody hell Granger, what do you have in here?" Draco opened the pack and looked inside pushing away Hermione reaching arms. "Books, flashlight, batteries, food, water, and a tent?" Draco turned back to Hermione his eyebrow still raised. "Really a tent?" Hermione huffed and crossed her arms. "Well what else are we going to sleep in?" Draco just shook his head. A rustling noise could be heard in the direction that they came, the couple drew their wands and pointed it at the path, and then Hermione lowered her wand. A greyhound came rushing out of the forest and leaped on top of Hermione causing her to fall backwards with a loud "Oomph!"

Draco lowered his wand and began laughing at Hermione who was having her face cleaned by the greyhounds rather long tongue. "No! Russell get off! Get off! Down boy!" The greyhound ignored her and continued licking her face. Draco was now doubled over with laughter and having trouble breathing. He patted his knees his face still red and called to the dog. "Here Russell come here." The dog stopped licking Hermione's face and trotted over to Draco. Hermione stood up and wiped her face off with her hand. "Yuck. Thanks Malfoy." Draco nodded and began petting the dog. "How do you know his name?" Hermione wiped her face again. "He's my parents dog which means there nearby." Hermione stood up and pulled out a compass. "You know those never work?" Draco told her, pulling out his wand. "Point me." the wand spun in his hand and pointed in the opposite direction Hermione's compass was pointing. She scowled at him. "Told you." he told her his lips curled into a smirk. Hermione grabbed his wand Draco shouting in protest and began following it Draco grumbling behind her.

Two hours later they stopped just inside a clearing, were a group of people were asleep. They seemed to be all natives except two, one had salt and pepper hair and the other was short with curly hair like Hermione's.

Draco started to say something but Hermione turned and shushed him.

"Malfoy we have to be quite any real loud noises and we're dead. We have to act like we fell asleep besides them and then when they wake up first they can wake us up. The chief and my parents will recognize me." Draco nodded and plopped down on the ground, Hermione following him. A few minutes later the group woke up, and stared at the newcomers. Two of them gasped and grabbed Hermione up and started shaking her. "Hermione! You came to visit!" Hermione opened her eyes and smiled at her excited parents. "Of course I did I told you I would!" Hermione hugged her parents and then turned to Draco. He was still on the ground and had apparently really fallen asleep.

Hermione's parents eyed the man on the ground. His blonde hair was almost white, and he had a sharp angular face. He was around 5ft 11, and had broad shoulders.

Hermione's dad turned to her. "Herms dear who is this?" Hermione nudged Draco with her toe. "This is Draco Malfoy, he's an old friend of mine from school. He wanted to see the forest out here so I offered to take him with me." Hermione lied. Her mom nodded, and motioned for a muscled man to come over. It was the chief. He wore a small skin flap over his more private bits and he wore no shirt. Hermione blushed. Last time she was here the chief had shone a distinct interest in her, showering her with strange gifts he had gathered and made him self. Here parents had noticed and where delighted asking her to come live with her. She declined saying that he wasn't right for her. She told the chief so and he smiled at her nodding, and left.

"Hermione," he nodded at her. "Who is this intruding on our property?"

"This is Draco Malfoy." The chief scowled at her. "He has no rights her unless he is in relations with you. Is he family?" Hermione thought fast. Draco would yell at her for this for sure but it was better then leaving him behind to be eaten. "He's my beau." The chief's face fell like he just learned Christmas was cancelled. "Very well, wake him and we'll travel to the village." Hermione nodded and pulled out her wand, turning to Draco and shouted. " Aguamenti." The water burst from her wand and splashed all over Draco causing him to sit up and sputter. "Bloody hell! What did you do that for?" "You feel asleep. We're going to start traveling to the village." Draco got up and shook his head his hair flying in all directions. Hermione's dad came forward and pointed his wand at him since it was obvious Hermione wasn't going to. "Drius" her dad flicked his wand at him drying Draco immediately his wet hair going to a feather soft consistency. Draco nodded at her dad in thanks and bent down to get his pack. Suddenly a dog popped out of the ferns and vines behind Draco running right into him causing him to fall face first in the dirt.

"Ooof!" Hermione stared for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter. Draco scowled up at her. "Aren't you going to help me up?" Hermione reached down and held her hand out to him Draco grabbing onto it. There was a small electric shock and Draco flinched. Hermione pulled him off to the side, her hand tingling from contact with his. She stopped for a moment and made sure no one was watching them. "Okay here's the deal, we have to call each other by our first names.." She was cut off by Draco. "Why do we have to?" "Well your not really allowed in their lands unless you have relations with me so I told them me and you were,' Her she blushed. "Yes?" "I told them we were dating." Draco's eyes widened then narrowed. "Couldn't you have told them I was your brother?" "Well no because my parents were right there and they would have told the chief the truth so, you're my boyfriend while we're here." The cracking of a branch told them someone was coming. It was the chief. "We are leaving. Come." The chief eyed them still holding hands and Hermione blushed. She had forgotten that she was still holding his hand. "Yes to the village." She pulled Draco along with her.

The Village

Draco walked through the village his eyes wide with wonder, everything was colorful and made a stark contrast against the green of the jungle in the background. A girl with a red and white dress swept past the bells in her black hair jingling. Hermione was ahead of him surrounded by little kids all smiling and tugging on her hands. Her parents were walking with the chief who was sneaking convert glances at Hermione. Draco scowled. Wait why was he scowling? Hermione wasn't his if the chief wanted to check her out he had all legal rights to do so. And since when did he call her Hermione in his head? He may not be able to call her Granger in public anymore but he sure as hell could in his head. But when he tried it just kept coming up as Hermione. Draco scowled again. The stupid chit was messing with his head!

Even Muggles

Hermione smiled at the kids surrounding her, they remembered her from her last visit and there even seemed to be a few new ones. The villagers around her seemed happy and content. She turned around to where Draco was walking behind her eyes filled with wonder. "Draco! Come along! The chief expects us for dinner." Draco whipped his head back to her and nodded. He raced forward and walked beside her grabbing her hand. "What are you doing?" she hissed at him in a quiet whisper. "We're supposed to be together." He whispered to her his eyes full of amusement at her obvious discomfort to hold his hand.

She huffed at him and began walking faster dragging him behind her before they came to what must be the largest hut in the village. The whole thing was made of straw and ferns with vines holding it up. Smoke drifted up through the hole at the top and curled into wisp of smoke before drifting off and disappearing

Draco peered inside where pitch darkness met them and he could see just a few torches nailed to sticks in the dirt lighting the way towards a large wooden table surrounded by homemade chairs.

The chief was already seated and was smoking a pipe a strong fire was going off to the side, showing where the smoke was coming from. The chief smiled at both of them and gestured for them to sit. "I hope you don't mind it's going to be just us tonight? Your parents where going off on a food gathering tonight." Hermione nodded and sat down Draco sitting next to her.

A few of the natives walked forward and set wooden plates filled with foods on the table in front of them steam rising from a few. The chief filled a plate and began eating Hermione doing the same. Draco just stared at the food. There was different types of meat and plenty of berries. Hermione looked over at him and noticed that he didn't seem to be eating. She leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Aren't you going to eat? I promise the foods not poisoned." She was interrupted by the chief who spoke directly at Hermione.

"Hermione what are you and your beau really doing here?" Draco raised an eyebrow at this. Hermione blushed. "We're actually searching for a book that has eluded many a generation. The Knowledge of Yein." The chief nodded. "Many a person has thought it to be here in the unexplored land." Draco spoke up. "We are sure it's here, we found a map." The chief's eyes lit up. "A map? Are you sure?" Hermione nodded and looked at Draco who nodded also. Hermione reached into her pack and brought out a map laying it on the table and spoke the words. "Reveal the Divine spot." The map unfurled and the chief leaned forward. "The Knowledge of Yein." He looked up at Hermione and Draco. "I can guarantee you will have safe passage into the forest and to the ruins. For now you need to rest."

The natives came forward again and grabbed the plates the chief standing, and pointing now to the archway. "You may go and rest in your parents hut." He turned his skin flap flapping, and he exited into a room.

Hermione stood up slowly, grabbing Draco's hand. "Come on we can't stay out long in the village even animals still come here in the dark." Draco stood up and shook Hermione off. They both exited the main hut and walked a bit of the way to a hut, around the same size. They entered at Hermione took him to a room off the main one. Inside there was a two beds and a small dresser. There was a basin off to the side and everything was made of wood. Hermione walked into a corner of the room. "Turn around." Draco complied. "Why?" "I need to get ready for bed. And I'm afraid you're going to go without hair products for awhile as we're in the jungle and we have no running water."

"Well I kind of figured that out on my own." he said with a smirk.

"Good, you can turn around now." He did and fell onto a bed. She was wearing short's and a tight shirt in hues of blue.

"Aren't you going to get dressed for bed?" she inquired.

"No I'm just going to wear what I am now." She shrugged. "Well alright."

She flicked her wand and the lights when out. "Night Malfoy, we have to get up early."

"Night dear." he said with a smirk feeling Hermione's, scowl.

The bastard.

And we're off

Early morning found Hermione and Draco surrounded by waving natives and smiles.

Hermione's parents hugged her and told her to be careful. "And Hermione dear please do bring back , he seems like a nice boy." Her mother told her.

Hermione nodded and hugged her mom and dad again. The chief was talking to Draco who looked over at Hermione with a look on his face that clearly said. "Lets go already."

Hermione hugged her parents one last time.

It was time to go. She grabbed Draco's hand just as the village bell rang. They both turned and started into the forest not looking back at the waving natives. It was time to find the book.

Here's another chapter courtesy of me and teh cupcakes, review pwease? :D oh and yes her dad has a wand lets just say that after the war she found out her dad was really a wizard? :D
