A paper was lying on the floor.
'Great, stuck with you for a week!' Malfoy said.
'Don't think I like this'.
Malfoy picked up the paper.
'There's nothing on it'.
Some words appeared.
Remember the Marauders it said.
'What's that supposed to mean?'.
'Give me the paper, Malfoy'.
'Oh, so you know what to do, huh?'.
'Yes I do'.
Malfoy gave Harry the paper.
'I solemly swear I am up to no good' Harry said.
Immedialty things began to show on the paper.
'What? How did you do that?'.
'Oh, I just knew it'.
Malfoy sat down next to Harry and they read the paper.
You'll have to find your way back to the school. You must walk via the control posts on the map and leave a message at each of them. Enjoy!
The paper turned into a muggle map with 7 red dots on it.
'So we take about a day to get to a post?' Malfoy asked.
'Yes, now lets go'.
'But my bag is so heavy! I will never make it'.
'You have to, don't you want to win?'.
'Yes I do, but I already know we are not the first ones to make it'.
'Yes we are, now come on!'.
Harry and Malfoy started walking. At about 10 o'clock in the evening they reached the first post. The walked inside. A paper was lying on the only table in the room. They walked to it.
'We are the first ones here'.
They scribbled their names down and sat down on the ground.
'I'm hungry'.
'Me too'.
Harry stood up and walked to the closet.
'What do you want to eat?'.
Malfoy stood up and walked to Harry.
'That's all? Just bread, orange juice and some cheese'.
'Guess so, so there isn't much choice'.
Harry and Malfoy grabbed some bread, put some cheese on it and ate it.
'I want to go on for about 1 mile tonight, if the others reach this post I pressume they'll be staying here, so we'll have a headstart okay?' Harry said.
'Erm, okay, but then I really want to stop. I'm tired'.
'Okay, do you want to sleep in the open air on shall we set up the tent?'.
'Tent'.
'Kay, well, lets just eat some more and then go'.
They ate 2 more slices of bread and then stood up again.
'Lets take some food with us for tomorrow morning'.
'Okay'.
They put some bread and cheese into their bags and then they went on.
'Potter, this may sound very un-Malfoy like but I am happy Dumbledore paired us together. You lived like a muggle for years and so you know how to survive, I feel sorry for Goyle, paired up with Weasley'.
'Well, thanks I guess, but could we just call each other by our first name?'.
'I guess'.
They walked on in silence till they found a clearing in the woods. Harry set up the tent, as Draco didn't know how to do that. The put their bags inside and then they went into the tent. Harry put the pocket light on. Draco made their beds and then laid down.
'Oh, my feet are sore!' Draco whined.
Harry grinned.
'How come?'.
'Stop it! I hate walking and I never done it before so stop laughing'.
'I'm sorry, it's just so funny, well take of your shoes then'.
Draco did what he was told. Unexpectedly Harry moved to Draco's feet and started massaging them.
'What are you… ohhhh, that feels so good' Draco said.
Draco laid back down.
'You have to be fit tomorrow, I want to get to post 3 tomorrow'.
'But that's really far, we are supposed to walk to one post each day' Draco sputtered.
'You want to win, don't you?'.
'Yes but…'.
'No buts, post 3 isn't that far away from 2 so if we leave tomorrow at 6 we will be at post 3 at 11 tomorrow night'.
'What? That's a 20 hour walk! I'm not going to make it!'.
'Yes you are, just go to sleep now'.
'How do you do it?'.
'What?'.
'Walk so far'.
'It's just, I like it, when you enjoy walking it becomes easier, so just go to sleep and get some rest'.
'Okay'.
Harry pulled his clothes off (except his boxers) and he laid down in his sleeping bag.
'Are you going to keep your clothes on?' Harry asked amused.
'No, but'.
'But? You don't like undressing in front of people? Is that it? I'll turn around then'.
Harry turned around and he fell asleep. Draco undressed too and he also laid down in his sleeping bag. Next morning Harry woke Draco at half past 5.
'Not so early!'.
'Get up'.
'No!'.
'Yes!, here is your breakfast'.
Harry stuffed some bread into Draco's mouth. Draco ate it slowly and then dressed. Harry had already packed his stuff and he helped Draco with packing his.
'Do you still want to get to post 3?'.
'Yes'.
'Oh'.
Draco tried to stand up, but his feet were still sore. Harry examined his feet.
'Do you think you can make it to post 2? We can leave your stuff there and I'll take you on my back'.
'What? You sure?'.
'Yes'.
'I'll try'.
Harry helped Draco to put his stuff on his back. Together they started walking. At 4 o'clock they reached post 2. They signed their names.
'Do you still want to continue?' Harry asked.
'Yes, but my feet hurt'.
'Give me your bag'.
Draco put his bag down. Harry took it and took some of Draco's stuff out of it. He put Draco's clothes in his own bag and the rest he left in the bag. Harry pulled his sleeping bag out of his bag and left it with Draco's bag.
'Here put this on your back and climb on'.
'You sure? And realize we've then only got one sleeping bag'.
'Yes, now come on'.
Draco put the bag on his back and then he climbed on Harry's back. Harry started walking and Draco slowly fell asleep. When Draco woke it was 1 o'clock the next morning, they were still walking.
'Harry?' Draco wisphered.
'Ah, you are awake again'.
'Why are we still walking, haven't we reach post 3 yet?'.
'We have, but I decided to walk on'.
'Aren't you tired?'.
'A bit, but I stopped 3 hours ago, to get some sleep, and to eat. Oh, there is some food in the back pack, it's on the left side'.
Draco reached into the bag and got some toast out of it and he ate it.
'I was so tired'.
'I know, you slept all the way, we are almost at post 4'.
'I can walk again if you want'.
'You sure? Your feet have to rest'.
'No, my feet are feeling a lot better'.
'Okay'.
Draco climbed of Harry's back.
'Give me the bag'.
Draco gave it to him and Harry put it on his back. They walked on.
