Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter Characters. This wonderful plot, however, does belong to me.

A/N: Sorry for the lack of updating. I wrote this entire chapter at a friends house, becuase I haven't been able to get on the internet. I'm visiting my dad and he doesn't have internet. Enjoy!

'Ow!' Draco thought to himself. Something had hit him again! Where was it coming from?! As he craned his neck to look behind him a third energy ball hit him, sending him flying out of the tree, to land sprawled on the ground.

"What the hell!" he yelled in frustration. Hermione was peeking out from behind a tree, laughing her head off. At first she tried to hide it, but couldn't do it any longer.

Draco lay there for sometime, not even trying to move. It hurt. All of it. His entire body. But mostly his pride.

'How this sucks.' he thought in anguish.

Hermione had finally stopped laughing. She was just standing there smiling a secret smile. This infuriated Draco further. She looked like she knew something he didn't and he didn't like it.

Hermione cocked her head and pondered whether or not to help him for a minute. She thought she should help him, but if she did then he would just be even angrier, so she decided to just stand there until he felt the need to stand up, or even say something to her.

Draco finally got up and brushed himself off.

"Watching people a regular habit of yours, or am I special?" Hermione shot at him as soon as he was up.

It suddenly occur to Draco that he seemed to be watching her alot. That was not something he wanted people to notice.

"I don't watch people. I merely observe. And, as a matter of fact, I was here far before you were, so it would seem to me that you are the one spying on me."

Hermione narrowed her eyes at him in sudden indignation. He was horrid! He made her so angry!

Hermione slowly made her way toward him. Draco was cautious. She had slapped him more than once before, and she had that certain gleam in her eye...her eye that was now dialating. It was nearly black now. Uh-oh.

There was a violet smoke rising from her hands. Draco was on guard, although he was more worried that she would slap him than perform a spell.

Hermione raised her hand to attack him. She threw one of the most charged enrgy balls she'd ever made at him. But he didn't fall to the ground like he was supposed to. There was a huge silver flash and neither Draco nor Hermione could see anything. Draco yelled at Hermione then she felt his arms around her waist, pushing her to the ground. Then everything went black.

------------------------

Harry wasn't sure what to think. Mostly he was feeling anger. Ron wasn't talking to him, and now he finds his other best friend laying in the arms of his biggest Hogwarts enemy.

He wanted to go over there and rip Draco to bits. He wasn't sure what he would do to Hermione, but it was gonna hurt her.

Harry was too angry to realize that both still had their clothes on. There was smoke rising from their bodies and blood coming from scratches all over them.

Harry stepped into the clearing, ready to confront the both of them, when all of a sudden there was HUGE snake in his way. It looked like a Boa Constrictor, but he couldn't be sure. Fear kept him silent for a while. The snake just stared at him. Harry finally gathered some wits about him and asked the snake who it was.

"Who I am is not for you to know." the snake replied. "Lower your wand human." Harry hadn't realized he'd been holding his wand. He must have pulled it out out of reflex.

"Why?" Harry asked, relaxing a bit when he realized the snake wasn't going to attack him.

"Do not be so sure you are safe."

Harry was speechless. The huge snake was reading his thoughts!

"Go now. The girl belongs to him." And with that the snake gave a huge hiss and made to attack Harry, who ran with all his might. He stopped short when he remembered Hermione was there. He had to go back and get her.

When he reached the clearing again, the snake was gone as if it had never been.

Hermione and Draco were slowly awakening. Both looking at each other suspicously. Their awakening had been akward due to their positioning. When they heard Harry walk through the brush, both looked up in surprise.

"I can explain" Hermione said right away, knowing Harry's fast temper. But the problem was that Hermione had no idea what had happened.

A/N: Hope you liked it and that it was enough of a cliff hanger for ya! I have no idea how any part of this chapter will fit into the rest of the story, so if you have any ideas please tell me!

I hope I can update soon! Bye now.
