MIDTERMS THIS PAST WEEK! DAMN SCHOOL TO HELL I TELL YOU! TO HELL!

The first month of school went by fairly quickly. The boys and I spent a lot of time in the library. (My influence of course) Seventh year was no joke. Harry and Ron both had managed to get E's on their O.W.L's so we were all in Advanced Potions and Snape was not cutting us any slack. Prof. McGonagall wasn't laying it on us any easier. So today found us in the library at a back table.

"I can't believe I don't understand Animagi! My Dad and his friends were professionals with this by now." Harry whined from behind his pile of books. We had a three foot paper due over the requirements to become Animagi and the punishments of being an illegal and unregistered Animagi.

"Mate that's not fair to compare yourself to your dad and his friends, they had a bloody good reason behind becoming Animagi already. Besides they didn't have Hermione there to keep them in line. Lily didn't too much care for James yet so there was no one to keep him under control." Ron explained.

"He's right, Harry" I agreed. "Lily would have put an end to all the trouble the marauders were in if she were in the middle of the group like I am." I placed my arms around their shoulders and pulled them into a hug. "I love you guys."

"Same here." They muttered, blushing slightly as I let them go.

"So 'Mione, how's the other life treating you?" Harry mused.

Laughing and blushing slightly, "You want to see all my gifts?" I muttered the counter spell for the disillusion charm I had placed on my jewelry to reveal the serpent necklace now with a matching bracelet and earrings. The bracelet was made up of several silver and green serpents chasing each other around my wrist. At first it bothered me but I grew used to it. The earrings were just a serpent hanging from my earlobe. The tip of his tail was emerald and his eyes were two tiny emeralds.

"Wow." Harry whispered.

"Bloody Hell Mione! You're a symbol for Slytherin!" Ron spat out. "Isn't he a little carried away?"

"Actually I started the whole serpent theme because I charmed my belly ring in to a serpent that first time I went to go meet him. He just picked up the idea and ran with it." I looked down.

"Granger!"

"Shit!" I quickly replaced the disillusion charm and leaned down closer to my parchment as if I hadn't just heard Malfoy call for me.

"Potter, Weasel." He said in acknowledgment of the boys.

"Yes Malfoy." I said looking up at him briefly over the pile of books in front of me.

"Have you seen Ivory? She was supposed to meet me in the Quidditch pitch a half hour ago."

My eyes got big. Shit! Shit! Shit! How could I have forgotten? "She just went to the loo. Wait right here and I'll go get her." I got up and left the library. How stupid of me! "Ugh" I groaned running into the loo and making sure I was alone I quickly did my transformation. I took off my school robe and transformed my red shirt into an off the shoulder emerald sweater and my skirt into a pair of black jeans. Lifting the disillusion charm from my jewelry again I also transformed my Mary Janes into a pair of black tennis shoes with shoestrings matching my sweater. I shrunk my robes and put the doll sized robes in my pocket. I ran back to the library to see Malfoy standing there checking his watch with a scowl on his face. He looked up as I entered and met me halfway. "Baby I am so sorry."

He kissed me deeply and pulled me into a hug. "Its okay love. I'm not mad or anything… okay so maybe I was but…" He glanced at the boys. "Seeing you in all your slytherin glory puts a smile on my face."

I laughed. "So what are we doing?"

"I'm going to give you a flying lesson."

My eyes got big and my heart stopped. "Flying? As in on a broomstick?" Terror gripped my soul.

He laughed. "Of course, love! What else? A carpet?"

Calm down Hermione! You've read books on flying and you've watched the boys fly countless times. Please act like you know what you're doing! I laughed. "I knew that! I was just asking because you sounded like you thought you were about to teach me something." I ran to Harry. "Cousin can I borrow the firebolt?" Harry looked up at me in shock and worry. "Don't worry." I reassured him. "I got this."

He gulped. "Sure"

"Accio Firebolt" I said. "Oh and Mione got caught up with a fourth year who was crying in the loo she said that if she's not back when you two leave to just take her books up to the common room and she'll meet you two up there later." I grabbed the firebolt as it jolted into a stop in front of me. "Wish me luck." I shoulder it and ran back over to Draco hooking my arm with his. We walked out of the castle in silence.

When we reached the grounds Draco turned to me and said "I'll race you!" and he took off running. I stood there and looked at the broom on my shoulder. It can't be that hard right? I mounted the broom and kicked off. At first I was a little shaky but I leaned forward to level out with the ground I was probably traveling five feet from the ground. Confident, I surged forward and shot after Malfoy. I slowed down to ride alongside him to catch his attention. "Hey babe!" I waved and then shot upwards over the stadium.

"Hey! No fair!" I heard him cry. He ran to the slytherin locker rooms and then soon he was in the air with me on his own firebolt2000. "I thought you didn't know how to ride?" He questioned.

"I don't." I shrugged. "I just guessed." I took off towards the goal posts. This was actually a little fun. Pausing inside the hoop I noticed how big they were. Wow. I fit right in here. Malfoy came next to me and pulled me off my broom and onto his. Holding onto Harry's broom with my right hand I looked at Malfoy curiously. "Is this safe?" I was straddling his broom facing him. He nodded and kissed me. Wrapping my arms around his neck I leaned into the kiss. I felt us flying, terrified I focused on the kissing a little more so I wouldn't notice how scared I was. Suddenly I felt my back against something and opened my eyes to see that we had landed on the commentary's table and Malfoy had leaned me onto my back. He grinned at me and then bit my neck in the way that I liked it. "Oh!" I moaned only to here myself a hundred times louder and echoing. "What?" I pushed Malfoy off me. "Draco the microphone's on!"

"I put a silencing charm on the stadium and you and I are the only ones that can hear it." He grinned again. He'd been smirking less and less with me. "Trust me."

"Okay" I said hesitantly as Malfoy climbed back on top of me. He undid my pants and was slowly working his hand into my jeans. I stiffened. Noticing my tenseness he quickly withdrew his hand and settled into just kissing me. This really was enough for me anyway, because that alone had me almost to ecstasy. He pulled away to nibble on my ear, I gasp. The effect of hearing myself gasp and moan and say Draco's name over and over again as it echoed through the pitch was so erotic it almost made me what to scream Please take me Draco Now! Almost. I could feel his hardness in between my legs like it was begging me to let him take me and I could take it anymore. "Draco!" I gasped as he leant down and had somehow managed to get inside my bra. His hot mouth was on breast, sucking, biting and raining kisses everywhere. "I can't take it anymore!" I whispered. He looked up at me. I pulled him up to me and kissed him softly. "We've gotta stop." Reluctantly he rolled off of me. I hopped up and mounted the broom to start a game of tag. "Bet you can't catch me." I sped off towards the castle. Malfoy caught me at the lake. We rolled across the grass. With me on top, I pushed his hair out of his face and kissed him. Before he could wrap his arms around me I hopped up and tried to fly off again.

He caught my ankle and tried to pull me back to him. "Why are you running from me?" He asked finally pulling me off the broom and wrapping me up in his arms.

"Because…" I kissed him again. "I almost lost myself back there."
