Hermione walked into her room.

"Ah, Granger. Come over here, please" Winston said few feet from her.

Every guy who was there stared at her, every girl, who were just about 3 of them, scoffed. And indeed Hermione's clothing was far more perfectly fit than theirs were. And the guys continued to stare at every move she made, as she walked toward Winston.

"Good, you will be - - -"

"B-before you speak, Mr. Tower - - -"

"You may call me Winston, as everyone does"

"Y-Yes, Winston." Hermione didn't think it was at all polite, but she didn't want to fight now. "Sir, I don't get why we have to wear these outfits, shouldn't we wear them for missions?" Hermione asked.

"Well that's the thing, Ms. Granger. You must be accustomed to these, how do you say. . . outfits. . . This is also the proper attire for regular missions, but the missions have more gadgets. And so you have to learn to move in these clothings, be fast, prepared, strong. And confident, most importantly."

"Yes sir."

"Good. Now that we got that settled. What was I going to tell you. . .Oh yes, you will be partnered up with Mr. Malfoy," he looked around. "Who doesn't seem to be here at the moment. . ."

The door swung open, and walking down towards Hermione and Winston, was Draco. Hermione couldn't keep her eyes off him, and so did the other girls, who seem to swoon at the sight of him. He wore a very tight long sleeve black turtle neck shirt that showed his body perfectly. And black slender slacks along with black shoes. He brushed his hair back with his hand and stood beside Hermione and Winston, Hermione's eyes followed him, and so did the other girls'.

"Ah, here he is. I suppose you got my note, Mr. Malfoy?" Winston said.

"Yes, sir." Draco said.

"Well then, we better get to it." As he turned around, and the girls quickly flashed their eyes off. Winston walked to a platform.

Draco looked at Hermione, who was still staring at him, but stopped when he looked at her. "Look pretty hot don't I, Granger?" He said with a sexy smirk, his hands behind his back. "God! Please get over yourself just this once. . ." She rolled her eyes and turned around and walked. "How do I do that?" He teased with a smirk, slying walking behind her. "Easy, you can just stay as far as you can from me. That way, we'll both have personal space and I won't have to bother with you." She explained smoothly. "And that way, if - - - "

Draco stopped her from moving by walking in front of her.

"You know Granger, I find talkative people very annoying, but in your case, I'll have to make a huge exception." He said, staring into her eyes with a sexy smirk.

Hermione tried hard to break off. "N-not that I care. . ." she stood up straight ignoring his hypnotic stare, a bit hesitant. "But, why?"

He gave a slight chuckle. "You're lucky that your just so damn hot, Granger. I wouldn't be listening or even talking to you," he gave a last hot smirk, turned around and walked away, toward where Winston was.

Hermione couldn't believe what he just said to her, and gave a small smile.

"You know him?" A girl said with a serious tone, suddenly appeared besides Hermione.

She had long, straight, dark brown hair that was tied up. Her body almost like Hermione's but her clothes didn't fit right, they were sort of loose. She also had a pretty face and was quite tall.

"Erm. . .Yeah, we were almost in every class when I was still at Hogwarts. . .he's really - - -" Hermione was about to continue when, "Hot isn't he? Would love to give his ass a squeeze" she said with a smile of mischief. Hermione looked at her as if she was crazy.

The girl gave an arrogant chuckle.

"Er. . .I'm Hermione Granger." She held out her hand for a handshake.

The girl just quickly glanced at her hand with a scoff, and turned back to look at Draco. "Carrie Smith" she said, still with a very firm, serious tone.

"N-nice to meet you" Hermione said.

"And I just wanted to tell you, Herm-ione. . ." she made an unusual emphasis on her name. "That Draco over there. . .is mine" she gave a fake smile. "See you later, dear." She patted Hermione's shoulder and walked away skankily. Her ass waving in the air as she walked toward two other girls.

"God, you can have him. . ." Hermione looked toward Draco. "I-I mean. . . who would ever want an arrogant, selfish, conceited, self absorbed, stupid. . ." Then Draco looked back at her for a little while, smirked and turned away again. "Handsome, attractive, sexy. . ." Hermione stopped before anyone could hear. There were already a few guys looking at her like 'WHAT- THE-HELL-IS-THAT-GIRL-DOING?'. Hermione ignored them abd walked slowly toward where Draco was, she was right beside him, but then she was suddenly cut in by Carrie. Hermione tried to control herself.

"Oh, excuse me. Herm-ione. . . Is it?" Carrie said, once again putting an emphasis on her name, with a smile that made Hermione want to throw up. Hermione barely did anything, what more if she said something.

Carrie looked at her, smugly. And she stepped back. . .purposely falling on Draco.

"Oh my god! I-I am so sorry. . ." she said plastically. Draco made and effort of holding her from falling and picking her up, his hands all over her arms.

"N-No problem." He said, clueless of what was happening.

"Herm-ione, dear. You should really be more carefull sometimes, you can be so clumsy!" she said, still putting her act up, Hermione wanted to hit her.

"Are you okay?" Draco asked her, Draco's hands were still holding unto her arms. Hermione couldn't believe he was actuallly falling for this!

'Bitch!' Hermione thought, although her expression didn't show it.

"Now that you're here." Carrie said, looking grimly at him. Hermione wanted to choke her so badly.

Draco made an unsure smirk and let go of her, Carrie made a slight frown.

"Granger, do you want to introduce me anytime soon, or are you waiting till the end of this Trimester?" Draco said, smirking at her. With Carrie smiling evilishly along with him.

"Indeed, Herm-ione. Are you?" Hermione hated the way she said her name. But she tried not to let this affect her, why would it anyway? Hermione exhaled deeply.

"Oh I'm sorry. . ." Hermione said, sarcastically. "I couldn't just barge in now could I? That would be rude. . ." Hermione said a bit loudly so Carrie could hear. "You were too busy going all over her, Malfoy. Why'd you stop? Please, continue why don't you?" Hermione made a sarcastic smile.

Carrie threw her a bad look through her eyes. "Don't be silly, Herm-ione." Carrie faced Draco, who was still figuring out why she had attitude all of a sudden, but quickly looked at Carrie.

"Carrie Smith. . ." she held her hand out for a handshake, which Draco accepted. "Dra- - -" Draco began. . . "Draco Malfoy, I know. I've heard so much about you" She made her fake smile again. "Really? From who?" Draco asked. "Not Herm-ione that's for sure." She said. Draco made a slight smirk.

"ATTENTION!" Winston's voice rang through the room. "Ms. Smith, I would like it if you would please go to your partner" Winston said.

"I'll be seeing you, then. Draco. . ." she whispered, and slowly ran her finger down his chest and walked away. Hermione winced her eyes at her as she turned away.

" Cute friend you've got there, Granger." Draco said, smirked sexily at her and turned to Winston.

"Whatever" Hermione rolled her eyes.

"AHEM! OUR FIRST TRAINING FOR TODAY, DEFENSE! MALFOY, GRANGER, THAT CORNER OVER THERE. . ." Winston pointed to a corner in the back, materials magically appeared there. A punching bag, soft mats, and wrist bands.

"SMITH, GAREN THE NEXT CORNER OVER THERE. . ." Winston pointed to the next corner. Hermione could've sworn Carrie looked at Draco and smiled at him, and she could've sworn Draco smirked back.

'Damn it! Why the hell would she want him for anyway? You know what, I'm even going to go there. Honestly! Out of all people, and the way she looked at him, god! Could she get any desperate? And Malfoy, how dense could he get, falling for that act!'

Hermione thought, and turned to Draco again.

"I WILL BE GOING AROUND TO COACH YOU. BEGIN!"

"What?" Hermione said cluelessly. Draco took his shoes off and went on the mat. "W-wait!" Hermione said, taking her boots off and catching up to him. "S-sorry. I didn't hear him, what did he say?" "Wow, Granger. You were actually not listening. Amazing. . ." he smirked teasingly. "Malfoy, I'm serious! I didn't hear - - -" "He said to practice defense, do you not see the punching bag?" he teased. "Damn, Granger. You have got to stop daydreaming about me sometimes." He smiled with a chuckle and turned to the punching bag.

Hermione rolled her eyes. "That's right, Malfoy. Keep dreaming. . ." she took a wrist band.

"Erm. . .How exactly do you use this thing?" Hermione said, looking ever cluelessly at the punching bag.

"What part of "punching bag" didn't you get, Granger?" Hermione just stood there. "It's not hard, really. Let me give you a hint, you punch it!" he said, giving the punching bag a really hard punch.

"See?" but he didn't know that the punching bag backfired and hint him, slamming Draco to the mats, hard.

"Oh god. . ." Hermione said with a giggle. Kneeling down to help him up. "See, that's what you get for showing off." Hermione made a slight fit of giggles.

"Ha ha ha, very funny, you're killing me like hell, Granger. Really. . ." he said sarcastically. Hermione helped him up, "I also realized something else," Hermione calmed herself.

"And what the hell is that?" Draco said, making sure no one saw that. "You're an awful teacher" and Hermione made a fit of giggles again. The bag made another swing and weakly hit Draco, who almost tripped, but Hermione was able to pick him up again, even though she was giggling, which calmed down.

"You should really be careful, Malfoy. I think the punching bag is stronger than you are." She put her hand on his arm. Draco tried to take her hand off with his hand, but accidentally holding her hand, Hermione took a quick glance at his hand on hers, and looked up, staring right into Draco's face.

For a minute, that almost seemed like eternity, Draco got the chance to actually look at Hermione, really look at her. Even if it was by accident. He had a chance to stare at her light brown eyes, which he never actually saw up close. Now Draco could actually call her beautiful, she was indeed after all. . .beautiful.

And then their slow motion moment ended.

"Oh my god, Draco! Are you all right?" Before Hermione knew it, Carrie was rushing through from the the other corner towards them. Hermione rolled her eyes.

Draco took a glance at his hand on hers, and quickly let go with a clearing of his throat.

Carrie's hands were on his arms. "I saw the punching bag hit you, are you okay? Are you hurt? God Draco, you should be more careful!" Hermione couldn't believe how much she could actually suck up.

"I-I'm okay." He cleared his throat silently again. "That's good. I was just checking, well, I've got to get going. I'll see you later" Carrie smiled and walked to her corner.

"What the hell was that about?" Hermione said, looking at Carrie walk away and turned back to Draco.

"A lot of girls really do fall for me, don't they?" Draco said, with a very conceited tone.

"Yeah right! So far there's only one, you call that a lot" she said, curling her hands into a fist getting ready to punch the punching bag, Draco held it from swinging.

"Yeah there's her. . ." and he looked at Hermione a bit closer.

"And then there's you. . ." he said, with a very hot smirk, and he swung the bag. Hermione took a while to snap that thought out of her head, and took a few good punches. Which was not bad at all, they were fairly good.

"Not bad, Granger." Draco said. "Let me show you how its done." Hermione giggled right away.

"Be careful, don't let the bag hit you again!" and she continued giggling. Draco just rolled his eyes. . .
