Chapter Six: Stranded.

[Alexa Raven]

Hermione felt like something was scratching her, She shifted the pillow a moment and tried to get more comfortable as she was still asleep. However as she shifted the pillow she felt something tickle her arm.

Hermione groaned and sat up and as she opened her eyes for a moment she felt herself itchy on her back as well. She looked at her arm and screamed.

Draco awoke with a start as he did he looked over at Hermione a moment irritably. He was having a good dream about being on the seashore.

"What the hell Granger?!?"

Draco began to rant when he saw she had jumped up and was shaking herself and for a moment he just watched her.

::Oh don't tell me she is as Loony as that Lovegood bint. Wait.. why is she jumping around in sand..?::

Draco thought in his half awake state. He decided it must all be a dream when he went to lay back down and saw a large scorpion sitting on the pillow he had just vacated.

Draco jumped up. He had never seen one before and in curiosity he went to pick it up when he heard Granger shout.



"Don't touch it,their poisonous!"

Draco stopped and moved back from the bug and went to get his wand to hex it when he felt nothing in his wand pocket .


"What the hell? Granger where the hell is my wand?"

He asked as he looked over at he and froze.

Hermione had felt something crawl down her shirt and had thrown her shirt off. She was now bouncing in her Bra and Draco just watched her.

::Damn...::

He thought as he decided to enjoy the show the Mud blood was giving him. He didn't move a muscle as he saw her stop bouncing and she seemed to just stop and look at him.

Hermione stopped bouncing as she noticed Draco was staring at her. She took a calming breath as she felt whatever was on her had gone. She slowly regained her breath as she had been breathing hard and screaming.

She bent down to retrieve her shirt and the accounted pillow and went to put the t shirt back on when she called to him.



"You might want to check and see if anything got in your clothes or bit you. Malfoy"

Draco just for a moment shook his head but then he figured why the hell not. After all this was a dream right? Him and Granger alone in sand and Granger taking off her clothes...

Draco took off his jacket and dropped it to the sand and began to unbutton his shirt as he did he walked over towards her. As he approached her he removed his shirt and casually tossed it. Then he went for his trousers.

Hermione couldn't help but watch him. She noticed he wasn't shaking off anything just removing his clothes. She saw him throw off his shirt and she gasped as she saw to her surprise a muscular chest. She hadn't expected that or the six packs abs. He wasn't big and muscular but toned and defined.

As he went for his trousers her face flamed but also inside her she felt something warm in her stomach. For a moment she placed a hand on her stomach and rubbed wondering what it was.

Draco stopped two feet from her and as he did he looked her over slowly. He then let his trousers drop and stepped out of them.

"So is this what you want Hermione?"

Draco asked her as he stepped closer and caressed her face with his right hand a moment. The tropical breeze blew around them as they stood there a moment just gazing into each others eyes.

Draco leaned in to kiss her.....

*********************************************************

Hermione sat up with a start and looked around her expecting to see the Train compartment but was in shock when she saw they were in some type of forest. She got up and looked herself over and then looked over at him.

Draco lay on his back on some palm leaves and the pillow rested comfortably under his head. Hermione for a moment remembered the dream and placed a hand to her mouth.

This was how Draco saw her when he sat up and looked around and back at her. For a moment he blinked then he asked her.

“Where the bloody hell are we? And why is it so warm?”

He could feel sand under him and felt and smelled the tropical breezes and sea water. He looked up and to his surprise she was was staring at him.

"I have no idea but it's obvious we're not in Britain anymore."

Hermione replied as she went a moment and sat on a nearby rock. She for a moment was silent then she got up and ran over to where her pillow was. She lifted it and looked around it and she looked frantic.

Atleast this was Draco's assessment as he wondered what on earth she was doing. He wondered if she had forgotten she was a witch as he went to reach for his wand and froze. He felt nothing in his coat pocket.

He frowned and looked in the wand pocket again then began to pat down his jacket as he took it off. As he was doing this he heard her mutter.
 

"Where is it? It has to be here!"

He saw her now rummaging through the little handbag she wore attached to her wrist. Her hair began to frizz from the weather as it was now wet slightly with perspiration.

Draco searched and then finally stopped and groaned to himself.

"let me guess your wand is also missing?"

Hermione asked as she to his surprised walked over and sat down next to him. Draco didn't want to admit it so he replied with a snark.

"How would you know? Maybe I do have it Granger."

As he said this to his surprise he face light up and then fell as she shook he head. Draco was puzzled for a moment at her quick range of emotions he saw playing out on her face.

"No, no you don't of you would have already apparated out of here and left me here."

Hermione said as she for a moment pulled her knees up and buried her head on her knees. Hermione could feel a headache coming on and for a moment the dream came to her mind.

Draco was silent as he just got up and rummaged again for his wand. He would not acknowledge her statement as he knew she wasn't wrong. His first instinct would be to get back to civilization. However he replied to her.

"You really think I would leave a woman stranded and alone in Merlin knows where? Not even you Granger. I don't have my wand and we're in the middle of the Caribbean if I had to guess."

Draco kicked some sand a moment as he was agitated. Here he was stuck with the know it all Mud blood on what he figured was an island as he could hear the breakers hitting the shore.

Hermione stood up and gathered both pillows and shook them before placing them back in her bag. She then turned to look at him. Draco was in thought and for a moment his mask of indifference fell and Hermione could see the worry on his face.

Hermione heard a sound and she walked towards him ad grabbed his arm. Draco looked down at her a moment to ask her what she was doing when there was a growl and he took her arm and started pulling her through the jungle towards the sound of what he thought had to be a shoreline.

::What is he doing? And we need to find water and shelter and figure out where we are.::

These thoughts filled her mind as she for a moment stopped and looked at him.
"We need to get out of these woods and find water, a shelter."


Draco glared and barked out. 
 “I know that's where we are going. We need a safer place to plan what we are going to do than a Forest.”

He had replied this as she looked at him growing pale. A sound not too far from them came and Draco took her arm once more leading her he hoped to at least them somewhere out of the jungle.
