It was the day that the campers were to arrive and final preparations were being done quickly.

Then the 24 campers began to stream in. Checking in with Tina at the table in front of the large log structure that was the kitchens.

Mia was walking back from the parking lot where she helped Jordan and David direct traffic. Jordan and David were twins that had this cunning ability to show up out of nowhere when the other was in trouble.

As Mia walked down the trail to see if she was needed anywhere else; she tripped over a hole in the trail that she didn't see in time. As she started to fall, she braced herself to land on her shoulder, so not to hurt herself to badly. Then, as if in slow motion, a pair of strong arms came around her. Not even looking up at her rescuer, she stood up. "Thanks Nick I-" she trailed off as she turned and saw someone who wasn't Nick. "Oh-sorry. I thought that you were Nick," she said as her face began to flame.

"No problem," answered her rescuer.

Mia offered her hand to the blonde, gray-eyed stranger and said, "Hi, most people here call me Mia. Are you new to the camp?"

"Yea, I have been going to another camp, but it got closed down last year because of funding. By the way, people call me Dragon when I am playing soccer," replied the now identified rescuer.

"Well welcome then Dragon. I hope you have a fun time here."

"I'm sure I will. Have you gone here before?"

"Yeah, I fact I am a instructor this year. Why you ask?"

"Well, I was just wondering if we were going to scrimmage today," Dragon questioned.

"It depends. What cabin are you in?"

"I think that I'm in cabin 'A', but I'm not sure," he replied.

"Oh, okay then. You will play today in the first match. Also you're in Nick's cabin which is next to mine."

Dragon looker puzzled as he asked, "Who is this Nick I keep hearing about?"

"Oh, he is like my one of my best friends. He's 18 and is really cool. You two will probably get along great."

Draco Malfoy took a good look at Mia. 'I highly doubt that. Man those legs are nice!' He thought, but in reality he said, "I hope we do. How old are you? I'm 18."

Mia gave him a look and said, "I'm 17."

"Cool, what school do you go to?"

"Hogw-I mean a private school, and what is with all of these questions?" she corrected her self.

"Nothing, I just want to know you better."

"Yeah, okay," she said, not convinced. "Look I have to go and check my cabin to see if anyone needs help."

"Okay. Hey what cabin is yours?"

"'B', why?" asked a very confused Mia.

"Well, according to this," Dragon said while pulling out a map, "My cabin and yours are next to each other. So, I was thinking that I could walk you over there and give you some company."

Mia looked at Dragon for a few moments before nodding her head as she turned. Then over her shoulder she called, "I'm running, but you can come along…if you can keep up."

Mia was well known at the camp for many things, and one of those things happened to be her unmatchable speed at running. On any turf, on any incline, she always was in the lead, leaving her opponents in the dust. It was one of the things that made her so talented at soccer. She could get a break-a-way, and in seconds be down at the other end of the field, with the ball, and in a position to score a goal.

As she took off down the uneven trail, she felt a sense of freedom that she always felt. 'This must be the way Harry, Ron, and Ginny feel when they are flying on those brooms of theirs,' she realized

Mia, with her legs churning under her, made her way down the trial. As she looked over her shoulder to see how Dragon was holding up. To her surprise, he wasn't that far behind her. 'Man, he must be pretty fast. But not quite fast enough.'

With that last thought, she called over her shoulder, "Eat my dust!" And with that she went into 'high gear.'

If her legs were churning before, then now they were flashing. Her stride lengthened and stretched out, arms pumping wildly by her side. She felt like she was flying. Her hair streaming behind her.

*Dragon's POV*

'Holy crap! She is fast!' Thought Draco. He tried to keep up, but he kept falling farther and farther behind.

*Mia's POV*

Finally Mia slowed down as she approached the twin cabins that sat on the shore of a lake.

She turned and watched Dragon run the final part of the downhill. As he finally reached her, she called out to him, "You're pretty fast. But remember…I am faster." As she said that she smirked in a way that would make any Sytherin, even a Malfoy, proud.

*Dragon's POV*

'Holy crap. This girl is hot. Man when she smirks-' his thoughts were cut short when he heard Mia say good bye. "Wait!" Dragon called. As she turned around he could tell that she was getting annoyed. 'Crap. Why do I have a feeling that she is going to yell at me?'

Mia then snapped at him, "Sorry. I need to check in on my cabin. Maybe I'll see you later. Bye."

Dragon was about to call after her again when a tiny brunette appeared by Mia's side. 'Well, looks like I better go to my cabin.' And with that thought, he turned and walked away.

Sorry, about the changing POV's all the time. I'll try not to do that too much, but no promises.

So anyway, please review! Tell me what you think!
