Okay I've had several confused reviewers, to clear all things up, this is a sequel to my previous stories. This means that Draco and Hermione are a couple, so are Ron and Pansy and Harry and Ginny. Oh and Seamus dated one of the Patil twins. ************************************************************************

Hermione woke to dawn's first rays in the safe branches of a tree. She slid down the trunk and woke her comrades.

"Okay troops, let's go." With that she and her colleagues marched through the thicket.

They had gone but thirty paces when directly in front of them Harry poked his head through a bush, followed by several other guys, Draco's included.

"Potter! Get Chang!" Draco called, seeing that the Chinese girl was within Harry's reach.

Cho smiled and winked at Harry. "Hi Harry." She skipped away, joining her fellow slaves in their sprint in the opposite direction."

Harry stood with an idiotic smile plastered on his face as Draco stalked to him outraged. "Potter! She was this close!"

Harry looked at Draco wistfully. "She winked at me." He said dazedly.

Draco smacked his forehead "Okay new plan, Potter get Weasley, Weasley get Chang."

Harry went over to Ron and grasped his arm in a confused state.

Draco smacked his head again. "Okay, Potter get the female Weasley, male Weasley get Chang."

Harry and Ron nodded and shot off in opposite directions. Draco turned to Seamus and Neville. "Longbottom get Parvati, Finnigan get Padma." They sped off to follow Draco's instructions.

He then approached Crabbe and Goyle "And you two, get Pansy and Lavender, clear?"

Crabbe and Goyle bobbed their heads stupidly, and scrambled to do their masters bidding.

Draco drew his blade and held it up for his inspection "And me, I'll get Hermione." He whispered before taking off.

"Are you sure this will work?" Ginny asked Hermione, tying the end of a piece of rope to a tree.

"Of course it will" Replied Hermione, placing the other end of the rope, which was looped in a loose circle, on the ground. She hurriedly covered it with leaves.

Hermione stood firmly in front of a bush on one end of the trap as Draco came running toward her.

"Give up I take it?" smirked Draco, "I would have caught you anyway."

Hermione smiled, "Is that so?"

Draco nodded and took a step forward. Suddenly the trap sprang and he was dangling in the air, upside down.

"Haha, I beat you, admit it." Hermione jeered happily.

Draco was silent but began a slow swinging motion from his position.

Hermione took a step closer "What are you doing?"

Draco's upside down face came only inches away from hers. She saw that his index finger was pressed to his lips "Shh." He instructed "It's yoga time."

With that he twisted his upper body upward to grasp a length of rope above his caught ankle. He then removed his switch blade so carefully hidden.

Hermione's jaw dropped as she watched him saw her rope. "No fair. You cheat."

Draco paused for a moment in contemplation "You know the Malfoy guilt would haunt me if I didn't tell you that I'm gonna be down in about 7 seconds, so you should probably, I don't know, RUN!"

"Come on Hermione." Ginny grasped Hermione's elbow, trying to drag her away.

Hermione glared at the blonde "This is not over."

"It will be in five, four." Draco continued slicing as Hermione shot through the underbrush with Ginny.

Draco held a firm grip on the rope above before slicing the last snippet. He hung there for a moment, before releasing his grip and falling gently to the ground in a crouch. He stood to his full height and continued the hunt.
