Flight 704

Welcome to flight 704

Hello everyone! Here is the first chapter of my new story. This idea has been floating around in my head for quite some time now. So I'm excited to see where this idea takes me and of course I'd love to hear what you guys think. So don't be afraid to review or send me a message. The idea was based on the kid's show 'flight 29 down'. Look it up if you don't know it.

Disclaimer: HP isn't mine. Never was and never will be. But it's fun to play around with the characters.

A small warning: My native language isn't English so a few mistakes will be made (I'm sorry in advance)

It's set in their seventh year. The war happened but a lot of the deaths never did (Sirius, Remus, Lavender...) Okay let's dive in and start the story.

All the seventh years are mandatory to follow the course of muggle studies to help wizards integrate into the muggle world. Part of the course was a trip to America. There was a little catch of course. The entire trip had to be done the muggle way. This meant that the students had to leave their wands at Hogwarts for the duration of this trip.

'I can't believe they are forcing us to fly in a metal contraption.' Draco huffed while sceptically looking at the airplanes through the window.

'I guess we'll be fine, Dray. Muggles take them all the time and they seem fine.' Blaise said while checking out some airhostesses who just walked past them.

'All right. Everyone gather round. When I call your name you'll come forward and collect your ticket. On the ticket you'll be able to find where you have to sit on the plane. And no you cannot switch seats.' The professor called out. The students gathered around him and one for one took their ticket from him. 'I won't be coming with you on this flight but I'll see you guys in California.'

'What seats do you have?' Ron asked his friends when the professor left.

'14A' said Harry 'you?'

'15E' answered Ron.

'You sit next to me than' said Neville while showing his ticket with 15F on.

'I got 18B' Hermione said. No one sat near her. She didn't really mind. Now she could read her book in peace and quiet. Seamus had seat 14D and Dean 16A. Lavender got 15C.

A few moments later they were getting ready to board. Hermione just got comfortable in her seat when she saw who she was sitting next to. On her one had she had Cormac McLaggen and on her other she had the one and only lovely Draco Malfoy.

'Well hello there Hermione. What a coincidence that we just happen to sit next to each other. Let's make ourselves comfortable and make the best of it. What do you say?' said Cormac with a cheeky smile.

'Shut up McLaggen. It's bad enough I'm stuck next to the Gryffindor princess herself. You aren't going to make this any worse.' Draco sneered. 'And Don't even think that just because I don't have my wand I can't hurt you.'

Hermione simply rolled her eyes. Somewhat happy that Malfoy had come in between. She would not survive this trip with Cormac constantly trying to flirt with her. And by the look in Cormac his eyes he would not try during this flight.

The voice of the pilot greeted them warmly 'Welcome everybody and welcome to flight 704. We'll arrive in California in thirteen hours.'

'What thirteen hours?' Draco gasped. He could feel the blood draining from his face just at the thought of having to sit thirteen hours on this plane.

The plane went to the runway while the airhostesses did the safety routine. Hermione noticed that Malfoy was paying very close attention to the hostesses while reading the safety pamphlet at least five times.

'Are you afraid of flying?' Hermione asked a bit astonished.

'Of course I am. I don't trust this metal cage that is going to lift us into the air. I mean muggles made this but they can't even fly on a broom. So how are they supposed to know how to successfully put one of these things into the sky?' Draco started rambling while practically crushing his armrests.

'Malfoy relax. It will be fine. Who knows you might even enjoy it if you give it a chance.' Hermione simply answered while returning to her book.

Draco was just about to answer when the plane started to go faster and went up into the sky. He turned completely white and tightly squeezed his eyes shut. He only opened them after ten minutes. He looked around and saw that some his classmates where staring at him. He caught the eyes of his friend Theodore who winked at him and gave him a big grin. Then Draco took out a book and started reading.

Everything went fine. They had been flying for quite some time when all of a sudden a storm engulfed their plane. The lights started to flicker and the plane started shacking.

'What is happening?' yelled someone.

'Mommy!' a young child started crying.

Draco turned to Hermione and yelled 'what did I tell you? You can't trust muggles with this kind of stuff!' Hermione didn't answer.

The plane started spiralling down. Cormac took of his seatbelt. Trying to get out of the plane. Hermione yelled at him to keep it on but Cormac didn't listen and was flung through the plane. At first he yelled but then he hit his head against something and it was over.

Hermione closed her eyes and hold on tight to her armrests. She could feel Malfoys hand next to her gripping his armrests as well. She yelled at him 'Keep your head tucked in. And stay where you are.'

It seemed like they just kept falling. It was as if they would never hit the ground. But then all of a sudden their plane crashed against the ground with such a force that everything flew to the front of the plane. Hermione hit her head against the seat in front of her and the last thing she heard was Malfoy screaming 'Granger.'

Here is the first chapter. I hope you guys like it. i had fun writing it.
