What is there more to learn?.. yeah
I shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never to quite return"

John Mayer – Bigger Than My Body

Fighting the Ferret

Hermione walked quietly down the deserted corridor, her wand held ready at her hand. She tried to make as little sound as possible, her auror training paying off. I'm gonna get this one. Then im gonna get some sleep. She had been working non-stop this couple of days. There were signs pointing out that there was a Death Eater hiding out in this abandoned muggle mansion. She entered a room. It was dark. She was so sleepy. A voice behind her made her freeze. Ugh. Scan entire room first THEN proceed Granger. She thought to herself.

" Hey there,"

Hermione spun around to see a hooded man in front of her. His wand pointing straight at her. As was hers. His voice sounded very familiar.

" This the best auror the minister could find?" The man said as he took a step forward into the shaft of light pouring from the window.

"Malfoy. Why am I not surprised?" Hermione said cooly her eyes boring into his.

He took another step forward. She stood her ground. Both the enemies stood opposite each other wands held at attention, ready to say the right words to finish the other off.

"Put your wand down Malfoy. You are to be taken to your hearing," Hermione said... merely procedure.Yeah like that's gonna happen she thought to herself.

Malfoy simply laughed.

"oh c'mon Granger, do you seriously think I, Draco Malfoy, am going to listen to a filthy little mudblood like you," he said his cold grey eyes on her , his mouth in a smirk.

"I see you haven't changed a bit Malfoy," Hermione replied. "We're going to do this the easy way… or the hard way. It's your choice really. But whatever you choose, you'll be at your hearing tonight and I am going to get some sleep. So make up your mind , I'm a busy girl,"

"Whatever makes you happy …" Malfoy said and not a second later …

"Avada-" he screamed but Hermione was quicker, before he could finish his curse she uttered one word.Silencio. And there was silence.

Before Malfoy could realize what was happening …

"Petrificus Totalus,"

The brown haired witch smirked as her "long lost enemy" fell to the ground in a heap. She grabbed his shirt and apparated back to the Ministry.
