Hermione sighed as she watched the two former Hogwarts students flying with their old Quidditch teams. Marcus Flint and Oliver Wood had returned to Hogwarts her seventh year to be the new flying instructors. Professor Dumbledore had told everyone he could not choose between the two and offered them both a job. "Hermione!"

"What?" She asked looking around and saw her two roommates Lavender and Parvati.

"About time." Lavender giggled.

"Too busy ogling Flint and Wood?" Parvati asked.

"I wasn't ogling them." The brunette insisted.

"Right." Lavender said winking at her. "Won't lie and say their both not hot cause they defiantly are."

"Shame Flint was a Slytherin."

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

"Out of practice Flint" Oliver asked as he blocked the Quaffle.

Marcus glared at him. "Watch it Wood."

Oliver smirked at him as he threw the Quaffle to Ron who was playing Chaser since he took over his part as Keeper. The teams had eight players during their small game which was in a way counted as a practice. Only because they had four Chasers on each team due to run and Marcus. He looked over in the stands and saw three girls talking and watching them

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

"Arg can't they pay attention to us?" Parvati complained.

"Ginny's so lucky." Lavender commented.

"Then why didn't you two go out for the team."

"Us playing Quidditch? Dear sweet Hermione, we don't do anything that would inflict injury to ourselves."

"Yes Professor Trelawny says Quidditch is a distraction from the mind."

"Trelawny doesn't have a mind." Hermione muttered under her breath.

"Look their stopping." Lavender said as she got to her feet. "Come on let's go talk."

"Talk?" Hermione asked confused as the two girls dragged her down to the pitch.

"Nice game." Parvati said grinning.

"Yes you all did so well." Lavender added.

Ginny glanced at Hermione who only rolled her eyes. "Didn't they do well Hermione?"

"Uh.. Yea real well."

Now I remember, Oliver thought mentally hitting his forehead. Hermione was the girl his third year who placed that spell on Harry's glasses when it was raining so he could catch the snitch. She's changed so much, he thought.

Marcus glanced as the Gryffindor named Hermione and got to thinking. The name sounded familiar but he couldn't place it. "What finally get your nose out of those books Granger?" Malfoy asked with a smirk.

Hermione glared at him. "Shut up ferret." She said before Harry or Ron could say anything.

Now he remembered. She was the mudblood. The girl with bushy hair and bucked teeth, but she's changed. Her teeth were straight, her hair wasn't as bushy, it was more wavy, and she was taller. "Do you play Quidditch?" He asked her.

Hermione looked at Flint. "Me?"

"Yea you."

"No, I don't really like flying." She said honestly.

"Shame." Marcus told her.

Oliver glared at him. What is he doing, he thought. He saw Ron and Harry move next to Hermione protectively. "Leave her alone Flint." Harry said.

"I was just asking her a question Potter. No need to hide your girlfriend from me."

"She's not my girlfriend." He said.

"Really always thought you and Weasel had a thing with her." Draco smirked.

Hermione quickly pulled the back of Harry's and Ron's robes as they lurched forwards. "Get out of here Malfoy."

"Come on, the air is getting contaminated." Malfoy said as the eight Slytherins left.

Marcus glanced back at Hermione who was trying to calm down Potter and Weasley. Wait he didn't just think of her as Hermione did he? She was either Granger or Mudblood. He saw her look up at him as he smiled and winked at her and hurried to catch up with the others.

Oliver clenched his fists together tightly. He had to know what was going on. He saw Flint wink at Hermione. He wouldn't let her hurt him, but why did it bother him so much. "So you don't like flying that much?" He asked.

"Um.. No not really." She said as she saw Lavender and Parvati giggling behind him before the two girls went back to the castle.

"I could teach you."

"Sorry to say so mate, but already tried it." Ron said as the Trio, Oliver, and Ginny were the only ones remaining on the pitch.

"Yea she hates brooms."

"Why?"

"I just really don't get along with them that well." She said.

"But if she had a good instructor." Ginny said.

"Are you up to it?" Oliver asked her seriously.

"I…" Hermione said looking at Harry and Ron for help.

"She'll do it." They said grinning.

"Great." Oliver said smiling at her.

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

"Stupid mudblood." Draco said as they entered the Slytherin common room.

"Draco I need to speak with you." Marcus said.

"Sure come on." He said leading his new professor into his private chambers. "What is it?"

"I want to know everything there is about Granger."

Draco's gray eyes widened. "She's a filthy little mudblood what else if there to know about her?"

Marcus glared at him with his dark blue eyes. "I want to know what she likes and everything else there is to know about her Draco." He said as he wandered around the room.

"You're serious?" Draco asked confused.

"Yes, very serious. Don't make me take points off for not cooperating with a professor."

Draco looked over at Marcus who was looking ay a photograph of their third year Quidditch team. He had no clue why he wanted information on Granger and could tell he was very serious about it. "Why?"

"She interests me."

Draco shook his head. "Fine but you owe me for this."
