~ Harry's Point Of View ~

Harry watched as his best friend, Hermione hurried out with Malfoy. The two sworn enemies. Together.

"What in the world is going on? Usually she would wait for us instead of hurrying off with Malfoy." Harry thought, scratching his head. He knew something was different when he first saw Hermione in her outfit at the railway station. She had changed, matured. Also her reaction on seeing Malfoy on the train. It was clinched when he heard her correct Ron on Malfoy's name. "Is Hermione falling for Malfoy?" He wondered.

"Mr. Potter! Day-dreaming I see. Get to work at once! 20 points from Gryffindor." Snape barked, causing Harry to snap out of his thoughts. Ron turned around to Snape and narrowed his eyes. Lucky for Ron, Snape had already turned away.

"Were you day-dreaming, Harry? About who? My sister?" Ron whispered over the table. Harry grinned sheepishly and nodded his head.

"I must be over-reacting about Hermione and Draco." He assured himself. He leaned over to Ron, who was flipping through the pages of Hermione's notebook trying to find the answer but to no avail. Harry scooted his chair over and started to help.

"The spell needed was Querilious Wingify. Those who did not manage to complete today's task will have 5 points deducted from the monthly test. Class dismissed." Snape's voice boomed from the front of the class. He ignored all the dirty looks his students shot him.

~ Hermione's Point Of View. ~

Hermione was seated on the couch of her dorm, reading History of Hogwarts: Volume Three. Draco was seated opposite her, munching on Lemon Frizzies.

"Aren't you hungry, Hermione? You didn't eat any breakfast, and neither did I. And I'm pratically starving over here." Draco voiced, looking at Hermione. Hermione looked up from her book. She shook her head.

"C'mon Draco. Lunch is only an hour and a half away. Anyway, we gotta get going to Defence against the Dark Arts. It starts in ten. Let's go." She stuffed the book into her book-bag and got up. Draco followed suit, standing up and brushing off the crumbs from his robe.

When they arrived at the Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Hermione waved to Draco and quickly hurried to sit with Harry and Ron.

~ Draco's Point Of View. ~

Draco winced inwardly as Hermione waved him off. "Should have guessed she would sit with her best buddies." He thought sarcastically. He turned around and walked to his sidekicks, Crabbe and Goyle. He slumped into his seat.

"Good morning." A young man walked into the class. "My name is Jake Watson. I'm your new Defence against the Dark arts teacher." He said with a slight American accent. Jake Watson had short black hair and captivating green eyes. He was tall and muscular.

There were several screeching sounds as the students pushed back their chairs to stand up and greet this handsome stranger in front of them.

"You may call me Jake, Professor Jake or Professor Watson. Up to you guys." He announced. Then he clapped his hands twice.

"Keep all your books back into your bags. We won't be needing them today. In battles, your opponent will always be trying to get your wand, as it is the thing you need to defend yourself and to attack your opponent. So, I'll be teaching you how to get your opponent's wand but at the same time, protect your wand from your opponent." Professor Jake said. Draco raised his eyebrows.

"This is going to be fun." He smiled, imagining himself disarming Potter.

"Get yourselves a partner, everyone." Jake commanded. As usual, Crabbe and Goyle chose each other, and twisting around in his seat, Draco could see that Ron and Harry were partners. He got up and quickly hurried to Hermione.

"Hey, can I be your partner? I mean, Crabbe and Goyle are not challenging enough. So.can I work with you instead?" He asked Hermione. At first Hermione seemed startled, then her face broke into a smile and she nodded.

When everyone in the class had partners, Professor Jake surveyed the class. He pointed to Harry.

"You. Harry Potter isn't it? C'mon out. Bring your partner. You'll be the first pair to try it out." Professor Jake instructed. Harry hesitantly stood up, pulling Ron along with him. They stood facing each other at the front of the room.

"Okay, point your wands at each other. Harry, to get your partner's wand out of his hand, you say, 'Fetchious'. Make sure your wand is pointing to your opponent's wand, if not it will not work. It'll be a pretty hard task. And, you- "-pointing to Ron-" will try to keep your wand with you. You don't exactly have to say anything, just make sure your grip on the wand is tight. Ok?" Professor Jake explained. Harry nodded, but Ron looked apprehensive. Harry pointed his wand to Ron, and vice-versa.

"Fetchious." Harry muttered. Ron's wand wavered a little, but it stayed in Ron's hands. "Fetchious." Harry murmured a little bit more loudly. This time, Ron's wand flew out of his grip and into Harry's. There was a scattering of applause from the Gryffindors in the class.

"Well done, Harry." Professor Jake nodded to the pair. Blushing, Harry returned to his seat. Then he pointed to Hermione. "You look like an intelligent young lady. Your turn." Hermione got up and confidently walked to the front. Draco did the same. "What's your name?" The professor asked Hermione.

"Hermione Granger." She replied. "And this is my friend, Draco Malfoy." The professor nodded.

"Okay, Hermione. You'll do the same as what Harry did." He directed. Hermione nodded and smiled at Draco. Draco grinned back.

"Fetchious." She said softly. The wand didn't move. "Fetchious." She repeated. The wand shook a little. She frowned. "Fetchious!" She said loudly. Finally, it went out from Draco's grasp. She smiled victoriously.

"Great!" The professor cried. Using the student name list, he called out a few people. They repeated what Hermione and Harry did. After a few other pairs, he dismissed the class to go for lunch.

"See you after Lunch, Draco. We have to meet Professor Mcgonagall, remember? Bye." Hermione walked off to the Great Hall.
