Okay, I've had several inquiries about the yoga time thing. It's just
something weird Draco does to confuse Hermione, nothing more, I promise.
Next!

Draco took Hermione to a tree with several yards of rope lying at its side. He bound her wrists together and tied her hands above her head with the assistance of the tree.
He leaned down to give her the full censure of his steel eyes. "Now, I know that you wanted to win and I'm sorry I had to do this, but, it's my job as your captor."
"You just wait till I'm out of these ropes; I'll use them to strangle you." She threatened.
His grin reached his eyes, turning them to molten mercury. "I doubt you'd strangle me, but I may use them for... other reasons." He replied leaning his head down to brush his lips across hers softly.
She stuck his tongue out at him and he laughed.
He straightened and turned "Weasley!" He yelled.
Ron darted out of the forest, saluting. "Yes Captain?"
"Guard her." Draco ordered, before stalking back into the forest.
Ron stood in front of Hermione, slightly to her right. Ron was just beginning yawn when he heard Hermione laughing maniacally.
Ron turned "What's so funny?"
Hermione's eyes was alight with something akin to mischief. "You see that hole in the tree?" She jerked her head towards a hollow place in the trunk of her prison.
Ron nodded "Yes." He said slowly.
"I threw a bomb into it and soon the tree will blow up and I'll be free!" At the finish of this enthusiastic announcement she broke into another peel of insane laughter.
Ron scratched his head "But won't you blow up with the tree?"
Hermione's eyes suddenly filled with panic "Oh my gosh! I didn't consider that! Quick untie me!"
Ron shook his head "I can't, strict orders."
Hermione's eyes became clear and pleading as she looked at Ron imploringly. "Ron, do you want me to die?" Ron sighed "No, I guess not." With that he untied her and she sprang from the tree happily.
She pointed to the dark hole "Get the bomb! Get the bomb!"
Ron poked his head into the hole, searching. Suddenly Hermione rammed him from behind, stuffing his whole upper body into the tree.
"And that's why you failed your O.W.L.S. Ron!" Hermione informed him before shooting away.
After an hour of struggling Ron felt a hand grip his collar and yank him from his embarrassing position. Ron came face to face with Draco.
Draco sighed "Do I even want to know?"
"Well, she said she put a bomb in the tree and that if I didn't untie her she'd die." Ron explained.
Draco rolled his eyes "Weasley, do you honestly think Hermione's stupid enough to put a bomb in a tree she's tied to?"
"Well, no, but..."
"Rule number one Weasley, never listen to women." Draco turned to the sinking sun. He had time, he'd get her again before the day was done.
