Hermione looked around the messy tent. It had taken two weeks but she and Malfoy had finally found the blooming ground for the flower they were hunting. Malfoy had taken the first night to stand guard, she found him sleeping on the ground outside, there was no notebook keeping notes from the night before and on top of that it looked like some wild animal had gotten loose inside the tent and threw things around. It was getting ridiculous, she had tried to work with him but there was no working with him. Hermione had wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, hoping that maybe he'd realized that there were things he'd need to know before going out in the field...to at least know how to clean up after himself! She looked down her nose at him and sneered, kicking her foot out she rudely nudged him harder than she really needed to.

“Malfoy!” She hissed “Get up, you lazy son-of-a...”

“What?” He whined “I am just taking a little nap....” He rolled on to his back and squinted against the bright sunshine “Well, it was supposed to be...”

“I can't believe you!” Hermione gasped “I can't believe you...no wait, I can believe you, I can believe this” She motioned to him and the camp “What did you do to get on this field mission, Malfoy?” She threw his empty notebook in his face “Beg daddy to get you in?” He stood up looking angry “Did the minister say 'I don't think you're qualified' and you gave one of your infamous 'my father will hear about this' speeches and magically Malfoy get's his way!”

“Granger!” He took a threatening step towards her.

“You have a history of doing that shit since you were a child” Hermione shot at him “Not good enough to make the Quidditch team with pure talent its okay because daddy will pay your way, don't have good grades, well daddy will take care of that too, you don't get the job you want...daddy!” She glared at him “You had one job, ONE JOB Draco!” His eyes widened at the use of his given name as it was one of the only times he'd heard her say it “You only needed to stay awake until the flower bloomed, make note of that time and charm the seeds so we can track their movement if this bloom happened to be their second and you couldn't even do that!”

“I'M SORRY” Draco shouted, causing her to reel back and look at him with angry, half-insane eyes “Okay?” He looked away because the frustration at being a constant disappointment was weighing heavily on him and he could feel the wetness of tears filling his eyes against his wishes “I...” He cleared the emotion away from his throat “I messed up. This isn't the way I thought it would be, alright. I've been having trouble sleeping and though I thought I'd be okay for the first watch...I fell asleep and missed it”

“You may have just set us back two weeks, do you understand that?!” Hermione snarled.

“What do you want from me?!” Draco snapped.

“I want you to make the fire every once in a while!” Hermione snapped, there was a strange twitch behind her right eye “I want you to collect the water sometimes, I want to sleep in some mornings while you cook, I want you to clean up after yourself and I wanted you to stay awake like you promised so we can get our next mission and get out of this bloody forest!” She let out a strangled sob and turned away from him and took off in to the forest.

Everything between her and Harry had been 50/50, he would cook one meal while she tended the fire and vice versa. No one did anything more than the other did and now it was her doing everything while Malfoy stood around and watched her with a stupid look on his face. Hermione knew that she wasn't being fair with the Slytherin, he was being thrown in to a situation that he'd never been in before and it wasn't like she had everything down pact on her first mission either. She and Harry used to fight all the time, she hadn't been so good at the outside stuff and Harry wasn't very good in the kitchen. Therefore, they ended up fighting over who did what more times than not, Hermione didn't want to be a 'house-witch' and Harry was sick of the 'slave-labor' and more than once their bickering and fighting led to them making a mission last longer than it really needed to. But there was a difference, no matter how angry they'd been with each other they'd still been friends and would always have that. Draco had never been her friend and she was sure that if they'd been working together at any other location (meaning in an office at the ministry) they wouldn't even speak three words to one another. Out in the forest, however, was different because they had to speak in order to know that they were safe or in order to know what their next move was.

Hermione found the large pool of spring water and looked around, she knew that he wouldn't follow her. He was just like Ronald, likely gotten something to eat and then laid down for a nap because she was out in the woods probably doing something that was going to save the mission. There was no saving the mission though, if the night before had been the second bloom they'd need to start from scratch and search (once again) for another bloom site and start over again. Another look around confirmed that she indeed alone so Hermione removed her clothes and slowly walked in to the cool water, she cast a charm that would keep the bugs out and then she conjured her shampoo, conditioner, body wash and a face cloth and towel. Hermione dipped her hair back and wet it before putting liberal amounts of shampoo in it and scrubbing her scalp, rinsing it and repeating it again, when that was done she put loads of conditioner on to her hair and then secured with a clip and set to washing her body. What she wouldn't give for a nice hot shower.

Draco looked around the now empty camp and sighed, he kicked the sand and muttered to himself. He showed go back in to the tent, maybe give her some time to cool down but he had a feeling that she was expecting him to do something along those lines. So, after giving her a few minutes to get ahead of him Draco ventured out in to the forest after her thinking that she didn't really need to be such a bitch all the time. The comments about his father getting him everything that he wanted had really been the last straw, but only because it's true. Not about the job but juts in general, Lucius Malfoy always had gotten his son everything that he could want, it was just how Lucius knew to raise him, to buy his love. Draco walked over to some branches getting ready to brush them aside when he realized what it was he was actually seeing. Granger was in the clear blue water up to her waist, her waist length hair was wet and hanging free and she was naked, at least from the waist up. He was staring at her backside and could only just start to see the swell of her behind, he found himself wanting to see more but knew that this was not the way to gain trust. He put his hand over his eyes and startled to stumble (loudly) out of the brush so she knew that he was there but no looking.

“Granger?” He called out “Please be you and not some murderous animal intent on making a lunch out of me”

“Malfoy?” He heard the surprise in her voice “What the hell are you doing?”

“I wanted to talk” He told her “I heard the splashing and assumed you were naked...are you or can I look?”

“I'm naked!” She yelped “Just let me...” She splashed around and wrapped a towel around her “Okay”

“It's safe to look at you?” He verified.

“Yes” She nodded “What do you want?”

“Look” Draco said as he sat down near where she was and he took his shoes off and put his toes in the water “I'm sorry. I know that I shouldn't have fallen asleep and I can't really make up for that but I do have a few things that I did that have told me that it was only the first bloom”

“And what was that?” Hermione asked with an annoyed sigh.

“I...” He trailed off and let out a breath before continuing on “I'm afraid of the dark...when I laid down for my nap I had my wand lit to keep the area lit but I put a charm on it to go off if any other light lit the space” He waited for her to laugh at him for being afraid of the dark but she didn't “I thought I put a charm on my wand to go off in twenty minutes but it didn't work and I thought I screwed up the charm but I didn't...”

“What did you do?” Hermione asked as he held out his wand and then waved his hand over the tip.

“11:45pm” He said “I fell asleep around 10:30pm. The charm I put on my wand not only shut my light off but it also recorded the time the light went off”

“You were lying right near the place we were sure it would bloom” Hermione said in wonder “The light that comes from the flower must have shut off your light...this is brilliant. We can't use the second bloom because it's not strong enough but we know that it'll bloom again at 11:45pm we just need to be awake at that time until it blooms again and then charm the seeds so we can follow them to their next site and collect them then”

“Thank you” Draco whispered.

“For what?” Hermione asked.

“Not laughing at me when I admitted...my fear” He answered, looking unsure.

“I don't pretend to know why you're afraid of the dark” Hermione told him “But I wouldn't judge you for it, I have my own fears that seem stupid to everyone else”

“Like what?” He asked.

“Some other time” Was her answer.
