'I wonder what he plans to do to me now that I'm his new project. Will he make me change my attitude? Will he let me read my books? Can I still see my parents? Does this make me his girlfriend?' Hermione thought as she passed around the common room realizing that she had been in the common room more today than she had ever been since the start of Term. She looked out the window. A clear day and all of the students were stuck inside studying and doing homework. All except, Draco and the other Slytherins trying to join the quidditch team.

---------------------

"Slotzkey! Your up!" Draco called. He was down to the final position, the Keeper. So far he thought he had put together a great team. He was trying a new tactic, not as much muscle and more flying ability. "Greenwood! Leonard! Benda! Start trying to score goals!" Draco yelled from his position slightly higher than the hoops to watch closely. Slotzkey was doing well, he hadn't let one through but Draco still had one more person to try out. "Leonard! Come here for a second!"

"Yeah cap'n?" Leonard said.

"What is your first name?"

"Bri cap'n sir."

"Please stop calling me cap'n or sir. Draco or Malfoy will do just fine. Bri huh? What year are you?"

"Seventh. I'm a transfer from America. I love it out here, it's so beautiful."

"How did you get into Slytherin?"

"I'm a pureblood. My parents are probably the richest wizard and witch in America." She said. It was then that Draco noticed that she was riding a Ringmaster. The greatest American broom made. Rumored to be faster than the Firebolt.

"How good are you at riding that?"

"'Bout as good as I ride my horses. Why?"

"I think I might try you as a seeker just to see. If you catch the snitch before me I'll move to chaser in your position. Hold on a second" Draco told her. "Gillman! You're up!" he shouted to the last person. "I have to watch this person then we'll see." Draco told her. Bri nodded her head and sped off to talk to her friends in the bleachers. Gillman was doing well, but not as well as Slotzkey. Then the quaffel was zooming towards the far hoop and Gillman rolled from the top hoop catching it before it went through. 'Magnificent. Watch Potter's eyes budge when he sees that move!' "All right gather around! Leonard and I are going to chase the snitch around for a little bit. I want you all to go change and wait in the stands." Draco told the team. "I will tell you the positions tomorrow; I have to think about the Keeper. The rest of you know your position." Everyone flew to the ground and walked to the locker room.

Bri was soaring high above the grounds. She looked at the school finding a brown haired girl watching her. She waved totally shocking the girl. 'HI! I'm Bri Leonard. Who are you?' she sent telepathically.

Hermione freaked. 'Someone was talking in my head! How do I talk back? Who is Bri Leonard? Isn't that my pen-pal from America?'

'Chill! When you think I can hear you. I'm talking to you because I saw you looking at me. And I might be but I don't know who you are.'

'Oh. I'm Hermione Granger. You fly very well.'

'Thank-you. Then yes I am your pen-pal! Can you come down here so we can meet face to face? Do you have time?' Bri asked.

'Yes I'll be down in a few seconds.' Hermione thought to Bri.

"Leonard! Let's try this." Draco said to Bri. He had gotten a Firebolt from his uncle for Christmas. He let go of the snitch. "We will wait for thirty seconds before we start after it." Bri nodded her head in agreement.

Hermione walked to the edge of the pitch just in time to see Draco and the Bri take off above the field. 'Bri I'm here. What are you doing?'

'Busy. Tell you later.' Bri said breaking the connection so she could concentrate. 'How many times have I caught the snitch at home? 12 baker's dozens? More? How good can this guy be? He's been seeker for six years. Can I win?' it was then that she saw the snitch. It was hovering low to the ground by the bleachers where Hermione was standing. She took off, flying faster than she ever had. She had to beat Draco.

'Why is she flying so fast at me?' Hermione thought. Then she saw the snitch.

Draco saw Bri dive for the snitch and darted toward it. Bri was ahead though and was going to get it. He wasn't the seeker anymore, she is. 'I won't be able to victory over Potter but she can.' He pulled out of his dive to see Hermione right in the line of Bri's flying. "Hermione! Move!" he shouted. Clearly not loud enough. He dove and rocketed toward Hermione.

Bri was shooting for the snitch. 'Hermione! You have to move! I'm going to hit you!' Bri thought to her. But Hermione's instincts were a little too slow and Draco grabbed her right before Bri could crash into her.

"You all right Hermione?" Draco asked. Hermione's eyes were closed and she was mumbling under her breath. "Hermione?" she opened her eyes and looked down.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" she screamed lurching to grab Draco close. "I don't like flying or heights." She said clinging to Draco for dear life.

"Relax I won't let you fall." Draco said wrapping an arm around her.

Bri was standing on the pitch holding the snitch watching the two above. 'Hermione? Are you ok?'

"I'm fine Bri. I just don't like heights." Hermione said.

"Bri is down there. I'm Draco."

"Oh sorry Draco...Draco?!?" she freaked out.

"Hermione! Stop moving around like that! You'll fall. We are nearly fifty feet about ground!" Draco yelled at her. She froze and peeked down. Her heart lurched. Once again she clung to Draco.

"Take me down please. I really don't like heights." Hermione said quietly. Tears started to roll down her face. Draco was lost. He had never had a girl crying on him before. 'What do I do?'

'Hug her close and tell her it's ok. What is her prob anyway?' Bri asked Draco not getting any answers from Hermione.

'Bri? She doesn't like heights. Or flying.' Draco replied.

'Oh. Bring her down slowly. Maybe a foot a minute'

'Ok. I can try.' He started to move and Hermione grabbed him tighter. She felt good being so close to him. It seemed that she wanted to crawl into his skin. 'Hey Bri I think I'm going to take her to our common room. You can come if you want.'

'Ok, sounds good.'

He started toward the window that Hermione had been looking out of and opened it. "Hermione, can you climb through the window?" he felt her shake her head no. "Please? It's right next to us and I don't think we can fit through the window like this." Once again a shake no. 'Ok, I guess I'll try.' He ducked low to the broom. Hermione crammed beneath him. With his lags tucked up he barely made it through the window but tumbled to the floor with Hermione still clinging to him. Bri entered the window more gracefully, but barely.

"Hermione are you ok?" Bri asked out loud.

Hermione kept shaking and no mater how hard Draco tried to shake her off she clung tight.

"Hermione, we're in the common room. Bri's here too. You're safe. Please let go of me." Draco pleaded. 'What am I thinking? I'm asking Granger to let go of me. This is so wrong.'

"Hermione? Will you please say something?" Bri asked worried. This somehow shook her out of her stage but not enough to break her from Draco.

"I think I'm ok. I really don't like heights...or flying." Hermione answered.

"Well can you let me go?" Draco asked again. Hermione started shaking.

"PLEASE! No please don't let me go!" she screamed. Draco cringed as his ears started ringing.

"Hermione, shhhh. Please don't scream again. That hurt my ears. I won't let you go, but I'm going to move us to the couch ok?" Draco questioned, feeling his legs falling asleep as he sat on the floor. She nodded her head. "Ok, I'm moving now." He said as he picked her up. She had her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs wrapped around his waist, making her rub against his member that was coming alive on its own accord. As he sat down her legs unwrapped from around his waist, folding on either side of his thighs, still pressed against his very much alive member. 'She has to feel that. Merlin, she's pressed so tight against me.'

"Draco, I'm gunna go back to the common room. Do you want anything?" Bri asked before she left the Heads common room.

"Yeah," Draco said breaking from his thoughts. "You're the new seeker. Congratulations Leonard. It's now your job to beat Potty at catching the snitch." Draco said winking at her. Bri squealed.

"OMG! This is so exciting. Thank you Draco! I'd give you a hug but you look a little preoccupied. Well when she comes out of this reverie, tell her I'll talk to her later. Thanks. Toodles!" Bri said as she walked out quietly closing the door after her.

After Bri left, Hermione and Draco sat for ten minutes in silence with Draco's member stretching his pants between them before Hermione stirred from her episode. Draco hissed as she pressed against him as she sat up.

"Please don't scream. I couldn't stop it." Draco said not looking at her face.

Hermione didn't scream though. She was mesmerized at the sight of him straining against his pants. She had never seen anything like it before. Sure she had read about it, and listened to Lavender and Pervarti talk about guys and their parts but she had never actually "seen" them.

"So, are you ok now?" Draco asked. Hermione nodded her head. "Good, because as my new project, you have to do as I say. No matter what."

"Malfoy! I refuse to do anything sexual with you!" Hermione said angrily. Just then Draco grabbed the back of her head and brought her lips crashing to his own. "Hmmm..." she mumbled before giving in. he pulled on her shirt making it un-tuck. Hermione pulled back to breathe and Draco looked into her eyes, his being nearly charcoal with lust. He started to unbutton her shirt from the bottom up. Hermione just sat there, not believing she was doing this with Malfoy of all people. Then he pushed her shirt off her shoulders to the floor and he started kissing her again. Slow, passionate kisses. 'I never thought he was capable of this. Well not like loving kisses.' She could feel his hands roam over her body, and she liked it.

Draco started to move his hands upward to her bra; his fingers brushed the silk of it at the edge. She unknowingly arched against him. He took that as encouragement and un-hooked it. He ran his hands up and down her back. She pulled back; with labored breathing she swallowed her spit. "Not so fast." She said huskily, "you still have your shirt on." Draco arched an eyebrow and then started to unbutton his shirt. "I don't think so. You aren't going to ruin my fun." She said like a little kid.

"Who are you? What have you done with Granger?" Draco said.

"This is a side of me I was warned about. My mom said to be prepared for it." Hermione said with a mischievous smile. As she slowly un-buttoned his shirt revealing his muscular chest and abs.

"This is a side of you I like." Draco said as he let his shirt fall and taking the bra off of her shoulders. He started kissing a trail down her throat and chest to her erect nipple. She arched into him again. He growled and picked her up and started toward his room.

Crazy Frog starts playing Hermione pulled back. "What is that?" she asked as she looked around his room.

"My phone. It's Blaise. He probably wants to know how try-outs went."

"Where did that song come from?"

"A loony American made it up. Bri called it techno. What ever that is. Now back to what we were doing." Draco said as he started to nip at her neck.
