Chapter 4: Malfoy's Suggestion vs. Hermione's Advice
Hermione entered the clearing and was immediately bombarded with questions. SIGH! Sometimes I hate being an insufferable know-it-all, thought Hermione (somewhat smugly, it must be admitted). Harry and Ron ran up to her first. Harry pulled her into an embrace, and Ron stood back shyly waiting for his turn (when it came to hugging, even as friends, Ron was still shy as ever). Hermione stood back and examined both of her friends and saw that they didn't have any injuries either. "Well…" Hermione began, and almost immediately she had the attention of almost everyone in the clearing that wasn't already asleep or just plain ignoring her (A/N: COUGH COUGH Malfoy COUGH). "Does anyone know or remember anything after the train crash and before they ended up in this clearing?" no one answered Hermione's question. "Alright then, I suggest that we continue building shelters for everyone to sleep in, it must be close to midnight so there's no point in trying to go for help until morning. However, I think that we should devise a plan so that when morning comes we will be prepared."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Everyone, that is except Malfoy. The former slowly stood up and cleared his throat. "As amazing as that sounds.." spoke out Draco Malfoy, in a leering tone. "I'm bored, and I bet you that not one of these people here want to listen to you coming up with a stupid plan, I think…." but before he could finish his sentence Hermione cut him off, "You think? Oh well that's a real shocker, I didn't even know you had a brain beneath that thick skull of yours." "Well, Granger, see, there's this thing called silence, and coming from you, that would sound wonderful." (A/N: does that make sense? What I'm trying to say is that if Hermione were silent Malfoy would be happy)
Hermione stood there in shocked silence, for once at a loss for words. Malfoy took this as a sign to continue. "So, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I think that the first second and third years should go to bed, and the seventh years should watch them. While the rest of us (the fourth, fifth, and sixth years), stayed up and play a game." "And what game, do you propose we play?" sneered Hermione, in a very (dare I say it?) Malfoy-ish manner. "I say we play Truth or Dare."
A/N: A cliffhanger, my very second cliffhanger YAY go me! The next chapter is one of the most important chapters ever so if you want to be included in the story (YES THAT'S right you heard me INCLUDED, AS IN written INTO this story then read the next chapter and answer all of the questions… You'll see what I'm doing but I refuse to reveal it now!
Love always,
