A/N: Thank you for the lovely reviews. I'll try my best to post as much as I can but I usually have severe cases of writer's block. Keep the reviews coming though, they help motivate me to write.

Chapter 2

Previously: After about 5 minutes through countless hallways and corridors that Draco wasn't sure he could remember - even though he had grown up in a huge manor - they arrived at the so called "training rooms" to find none other than Harry Potter himself.

As Draco saw Harry Potter, he let out an internal groan. As much as he wanted to scream, he couldn't lose his composure multiple times in the same day.

"Well, hello there Potter," he said with a sneer. "I didn't think people like you needed training. You're quite adept at blowing things up without practice."

"Shut it, Malfoy," he muttered from across the room as he debated sending an Avada towards Draco.

"Ignore him, Harry," Hermione said. "It's what I was going to do but then Mr. Wood came in. Now move along Malfoy, we can't be waiting for you all day."

"Okay Granger, I'm coming," Malfoy stated with a roll of his eyes.

He was going to stay true to the pact he had made with himself earlier - annoy Granger beyond reason for making him sound stupid.

While Hermione was turned around to set something up for them, Malfoy sneakily grabbed her wand out of her back pocket. As he quietly hid it in his own pocket, Hermione turned around.

"Okay, Malfoy, it's ready and we can start now. Let me just get my wand first. Wait, where's my wand? Malfoy have you seen it?"

"No, of course not Granger," he shrugged nonchalantly. "How would I know? I'd never touch your things."

"Maybe I left it back in the office," she muttered. "Stay here, Malfoy, I'll be back with my wand."

Hermione once again ran through the hallways of the Ministry in search of her wand. She couldn't believe she had misplaced it twice on the same day.

Draco however knew exactly where it was. He snickered as he watched Granger run. Then he announced, "Hey Potter, I'm going to use the restroom."

"Does it look like I care Malfoy?," Harry muttered absently as he practiced his spellwork. He really wasn't listening and it had become his standard response to everything Malfoy said.

Seeing that Harry had ignored him, Draco walked out of the training room and into the Ministry hallways. He didn't really need to use the restroom, he was only leaving to spite Granger. She wouldn't know where to find him because Potter wasn't paying attention.

He wandered around until he found something interesting. Some hallways were full of people (he tried to avoid those) while others had walls of portraits. Soon, he came to an elevator. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to waste some time there. He went to the floor with the Wizengamot. Then he went to the Department of Mysteries. He also went to the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office but he didn't stay there for very long. They were Muggles after all.

While he had no problem with Muggleborns, he really didn't care much for Muggles.

When Draco got bored, he started pressing buttons at random. Without realising it, he pressed the button for the Auror department. He came face to face with an angry Hermione. It scared him out of his wits when the door opened to let her in.

At first, she didn't even notice him. She was too busy muttering under her breath.

"That Draco Malfoy, I know he took my wand. It couldn't be anywhere else. I knew I had picked it up. Oh when I get my hands on him..."

"Yes, Granger? I know you want to do dirty things to me." he said from the other side of the elevator with a snicker.

Hermione abruptly looked up to find the reason for her irritation. She also promptly exploded. "DRACO MALFOY! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY WAND? HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF SOMETHING THAT DISGUSTING?"

Draco snickered. It was quite fun to annoy her. He would have to get back into the habit of it. Though right now wasn't the best time. He quietly handed back her wand for fear of getting punched. He wouldn't want to recreate third year.

As Hermione grabbed her wand from him, she also muttered a quiet "Silencio" so she wouldn't have to deal with Draco's incessant blabbering.

For a bit, Draco didn't realise that a Silencing Spell was on him. He kept talking to annoy Hermione but realised that she had made a fool of him once again.

When Hermione got out of the elevator and told him to follow her, he decided to take advantage of the spell upon him. He sneaked away and back to The Department of Mysteries while also removing the spell on himself.

As he was walking down a deserted corridor, someone suddenly yelled, "You shouldn't be here. Stop right there."

Draco whirled around because he recognised the voice that had yelled at him.

"Blaise?" he said questioningly. He hadn't seen his old friend in years and now seemed like a great time to catch up seeing as he had nothing else to do.

"Draco?" Blaise exclaimed. He had missed his classmate.

While Draco was catching up with Blaise, Hermione walked back towards the training room all the while muttering obscenities under her breath about Draco Malfoy. She hated his guts but she valued her job more. Hermione stopped muttering long enough to realise that she couldn't hear any footsteps. She whirled around and found that Draco wasn't following her at all.

With a ginormous huff, she stomped back to the elevator. At random she punched a button. "Department of Mysteries" the cool, female voice announced. When the elevator stopped, Hermione stomped out. After walking just 3 strides away from the elevator, she came upon a scene she never thought she would see.

Draco Malfoy being friendly.

Though she was completely surprised, she walked up to Draco and Blaise to give Malfoy a strict telling off.

"DRACO MALFOY," she started. "HOW DARE YOU-"

"Hold on Granger," Blaise interrupted, doing his best to save Draco's skin though they had just reunited. "He came here to talk to me."

"WELL HE COULD'VE TOLD ME," Hermione yelled, still steaming.

"Actually Granger," he cut her rant off smoothly, "you placed a Silencing Charm on me. There wasn't much I could tell you."

As Hermione was about to retort, Ron Weasley walked in. Draco was close to slamming his head on a wall at this point. He seriously didn't want to meet the entire Golden Trio on the same day. He was pleasantly surprised to see that Granger cringed upon seeing him. He was also confused. They were currently in a relationship so she should've been happy to see him.

When Weasley kissed her on the cheek as greeting, her cringe grew deeper. He'd have to ask her about that when she wasn't so frustrated with him.

Hermione looked up at Ron.

"What do you want?" she sighed.

"Nothing, I just happened to be passing by and noticed my lovely girlfriend."

Draco didn't think her cringe could grow any deeper but it did when Weasley called her his girlfriend. Though it was visible, Weasley remained ignorant. He really was more of an idiot than Draco had previously thought.

Just as that thought passed through his head, Potter walked onto the scene. It was like he was being punished for some unknown deed.

"ARGHH!" He yelled in frustration.

Everyone sent him a questioning look. What was wrong with him? He was usually much better at hiding his emotions. Maybe it was seeing the Golden Trio together again.

Potter decided it was a good time to catch up with Weasley and Granger - as if he didn't do it all the time.

As if that wasn't bad enough, Mr. Wood walked in on their "discussion." He then proceeded to ask Hermione about what training she had given him.

"Umm," she started. "I trained him on the types of curses he could encounter at dark wizard homes during raids and the best ways to tackle them," she lied once again through her teeth. Though she wanted to tell him what a pain Draco was, she had to show that she could handle anything her boss gave her.

"That's wonderful Ms. Granger. I expect more tomorrow as I may be sending you into the field soon. I always want trainees to get some hands on experience."

When he walked away, Hermione started screeching again. "HOW COULD HE WANT FIELD WORK ALREADY? HE JUST GOT HERE!"

"Don't you know Hermione?" Harry started calmly, "Wood always sends in trainees as quick as he can to see how good they are. I was in the field on my second or third day."

"Oh dear," she murmured as the bell signalling the end of the workday rang. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

A/N: I know Ron and Hermione are together right now but they won't be for long. This is dramione after all.
