It was the third week of classes and Harry, Ron and Hermione were headed towards the Muggle Studies classroom, as it was mandatory for 7th years to take it. Unfortunately, Muggle Studies was another one of the classes that Gryffindor shared with the Slytherins.

"Oh goodie! Muggle studies with the Slytherins! What fun!" Ron said sarcastically

"Oh and that's not all we have to look forward to! We're lucky enough to have double potions after lunch!" Harry joined in.

"Wow, that Snape really makes my heart go boom, boom, boom" Ron said. Hermione laughed at her friends' antics, as they walked down the corridors.

"Oh I totally agree Ron! Isn't he just the best!" Hermione said, trying to keep a straight face. The boys looked at her as if she was an alien and finally she gave in and burst out laughing. "You. should. have. seen. your. ha ha. faces!" Hermione stuttered between giggles.

Harry and Ron smiled too and shook their heads. "I really thought you were serious 'Mione! You scared me!" Harry said as they finally reached the class room.

They walked in and took their usual seats in the middle, just in time to see Professor McWilliams come in and begin the lesson.

"Okay now class. Settle, settle." She said wearily, and silence fell over the classroom. "As a part of a new unit, Muggle games and recreation, each of you will be participating in a muggle activity. Boys will be playing muggle soccer and girls will be doing muggle cheerleading for the boys' soccer game. You will need to do a bit of research on your activity and then, you will do it. For example, if you're playing soccer then you and the rest of your group that pick out soccer learn how to play, train, design uniforms and then you will play a game of muggle soccer. You will be marked on this and it will be 75% if your final grade for this unit. You will each need to come and pick up a package from up the front here. It will contain the questions and information on the essay you will need to write afterwards. So, everyone please come up and get a package, Boys on the left, Girls on the right. Oh, and you will need to get a package, that is your house colors. Well, up you come." She said with a smile. "And another thing, for each house and activity, there will be a captain. One package from each category will have a letter inside, explaining your duty as a captain."

Hermione walked up to the front and grabbed a scarlet colored package from the right side of the table. She had seen cheerleading in the muggle world before, and thought it was a bit tarty, but it looked like a bit of fun too.

She walked back to the table where Harry and Ron sat. She opened up her package and started to look through the contents until she came across a piece of paper titled 'DUTIES OF A CAPTAIN' *YES*, Hermione thought. If she was going to have to do cheerleading, she may as well be captain and do a good job.

She turned to Harry and Ron. "Well?" she asked.

"I'm captain of the soccer team." Harry said, beaming. Harry was a major fan of the English soccer team, after he had seen them play on TV once at the Dursleys'. "What about you 'Mione?"

"I'm captain of the Gryffindor cheerleading squad!" She replied, beaming back at Harry.

"Are we going to kick some serious Slytherin ass or what 'Mione?"

"We sure are!" She laughed at the expression on Ron's face. He looked so lonely. "Hey Ron, what's wrong? I mean, I thought you'd be happy to know that they'll be lots of pretty Gryffindors in short skirts, cheering for us at the game!" Hermione playfully punched Harry in the arm and looked at Ron. He seemed much happier now.

"Yeah, I didn't think about that yet actually. Thanks Harry!" He said, now looking nearly as happy as Hermione and Harry.

Hermione shook her head at the two. "You're hopeless."

Harry put his arm around Hermione's shoulder. "But you love us for it." He said, smirking.

Hermione shook her head again and walked off to see if she could find out who had gotten captains for the Slytherin teams. She walked over to Lavender and sat down beside her.

"I got captain!" She said happily to Lavender.

"Congrats."

"Do you know about the Slytherins?"

"Well judging by that little display over there, I'd say Ferret Boy and Parkinson got captains." Lavender said, pointing to where Malfoy was smirking like mad and Pansy was squealing with delight.

"Heh. Yeah." There was a bit of a silence. "So, are you going to help me design our uniforms?" She asked excitedly, "It's one of my tasks as captain."

Lavender beamed. "Of course I'll help! You want to start tonight?" She asked enthusiastically.

"Yeah, sure, I don't see why not. You can come to the Head Common room before dinner tonight if you want." She suggested.

"Yeah, sure! I'll be there!"

"Great, well I suppose I'll see you there then!" She said and walked back over to Harry and Ron, in time to hear the bell ring for the end of class. She quickly filed out of the classroom and headed to her next class.Arithmancy,

As she didn't have it with Harry and Ron, she said her goodbyes and began to walk to class. As was walking down the corridors she suddenly felt her foot go into a (random) pothole on the floor and she fell over. Her ankle hurt like hell and she looked up to see an arm out stretched to help her up. She took the hand, without looking at who it was and was shocked when she was finally up and saw her rescuer's face.

"Malfoy?" She asked, in semi-disbelief. "You are aware of the fact the you just helped me right?"

"Yeah, well, you looked like you needed some help." He said, looking at the ground.

She smiled at him. "Well, thanks anyway." She said and walked off again, as did Malfoy, and Hermione was starting to think that Malfoy was not such a bad egg after all.
