'Wanna dance?' Harry looked up at Adriana and smirked, he knew she was gonna do this. Slowly he stood up, the two of them moved to the centre of the room, neither of them wavering eye contact.
'You ready Riana?' Harry asked her from where they were circling each other.
'Give me your best shot!' And it began. Harry started with a right-hook which Adriana blocked and to which she then bought up her left leg and kicked Harry's mid-section. 'It's not about what you think, it's about what you know.' Harry charged at her and she flipped him over her head where he landed hard on the floor, she moved away and continued talking whilst they fought. 'It's not about what you think you should do, it's about what you know you should do. Instinct. Trust yours, know his.' Harry went at her again with a scissor kick which hit Adriana and she was sent sprawling. 'Okay potter, now it's personal.' She said as she got up, and they were off again. Or actually Adriana was off again. She sent punch after punch, which Harry was able to block until she delivered a kick to his unguarded stomach, winding him. She took the opportunity and kneed him in the head whilst he was bent over clutching his stomach. He straightened up and she round housed him into the wall behind them. Whilst he was on the floor she straddled his stomach pinning him to the ground. 'Say Uncle?'
'Uncle!' Harry replied miserably.
'Hey! Don't pout at me mister!' Adriana got off him and helped him up. 'You know you can't beat me, you know you can't take me!' She said to him mockingly, the laughed until they were interrupted by a sneering voice.
'Only Scarhead could get beaten by a girl.' Draco shouted out and the whole Slytherin half of the class burst out laughing.
'Think you can do better Draco?' Adriana asked him innocently. The Slytherins silenced themselves when they saw Draco smirk and stand up to face her. 'This room is bewitched to make it that I can't actually hurt you, and there's some pretty interesting wiccan energy in here that I cast before I had to give it away.' Draco got into a Kung-fu stance. 'Hmm, You know kung-fu?'
'I know Kung-fu.' Draco replied.
'Show me' Adriana fell into her own stance one that Harry had never seen her use before. Draco flung out his left leg to kick her but she grabbed it and flipped him over backwards, but he literally defied the laws of gravity because he flipped over three times to land on his feet. He looked at his feet and then at Adriana confusingly. 'Like I said wiccan energy. For all the muggle-borns in the room again raise your hands if you've seen The Matrix?' Nearly all of the Gryffindor hands went up and some of them nodded and said 'oh's'.
'What's a Matrix?' Draco asked.
'That doesn't matter but what I'm telling you is that there is a spell in here that can bend the rules of Earth maybe even break some of them?' Adriana looked at him enquiringly. 'Hmm, come at me again.' Draco did just that and this time he faked one attack and used another but Adriana blocked both of them, this time she returned with her own a punch to Draco's stomach and a kick into his legs making him collapse on the floor. He got back up again and this time attacked with a vengeance and this time she sent him flying again into the wall. 'This bring back memories doesn't it Draco? Of December 26th 2001?' Draco looked up at her in pure fury and this time managed to hit her but she returned the rest easily, he flipped over her head and ran up one of the wooden supports in the room. Adriana calmly walked under him as he flipped over her head again and as he landed delivered and powerful kick to his mid section and Draco went hurtling back into the other Wooden support snapping it in half. He was on his hands and knees breathing heavily. 'Why haven't you managed to land a hard blow to me yet?'
'You're,' he stopped to breathe, 'You're too fast.' He looked up at her and she looked own at him raised her eyebrows at him.
'And why's that do you suppose?' he looked at her enquiringly. 'Do you think that's air you're breathing?' His face changed to an understanding expression. 'Try again.' Draco stood up again and relaxed into a completely different stance. Adriana smiled at him and got into her own, one of her hands outstretched, she laid her palm flat then moved it to make a beckoning gesture. Her class was completely silent, they were all amazed. Draco attacked first with kicks and punches which Adriana either countered, blocked or avoided, some were harder for her to avoid then she thought. Finally Draco landed a kick to her midsection making her falter and then he went to punch her face but stopped mere millimetres away from her face.
'I know what you're trying to do.' Draco stated and stood up straight, he walked away from her and towards the door.
'Draco?' he stopped. '9pm, Remember.' Adriana said to his back and then she let him walk out. 'So?' She turned back to her class. 'Everyone pair up, doesn't matter with who!' She continued with the class. It ran as smoothly as it could when 40 16 year olds had just witnessed what they saw.
