I'm so sad! I only got one review! Well THANK YOU to black colour vision for being my only reviewer. (BTW, I'm not a gym perv, thank you very much humph!)

Anyways, since no one answered the poll, I'll just decide for you. Incase you were wondering, this is going to be the last time that I involve you guys until I just stop all the polls! PLEEEEEEASE review and post a poll vote!

One more A/N: I am going to be throwing in new characters and situations, so I've also decided that I'm not going to go by the original fic request guide that I had started with. I'm still going to have some of them, just probably not all (also considering that I lost my print up of the instructions… well… you know…)

Moving on…

Ch.5 First Day of Class


Hermione, excited about the new class, ate a healthy breakfast, at which Harry and Ron were amazed at, since she rarely ate anything during breakfast.

"So, I take it that you know what's coming up?" Harry said while also eating some poached eggs on toast.

"Well, lets just say that I'm ready for just about anything she can throw at me."

"Literally of figuratively?"

"Wait. WHO is going to throw WHAT at you?" Ron said, utterly confused, "If someone even TRIES to hurt you I wont be responsible for my actions." Ending in a heroic pose with one foot on his chair and one fist over his chest with his head in the air.

Harry and Hermione just looked at each other and cracked up.

Draco was contemplating to himself about what he was going to do to make this new teacher's life hell when his attention was grabbed by Granger and Potter's loud outburst of laughter.

"What the hell? What are they so happy about? I'm about to go into a class I've never heard of with a wacko teacher and the golden three, along with every other person in my year, and they're LAUGHING? So nice of them to think of others who have no need to hear their screeching at this time of day…" He started muttering (again) to himself about inconsiderate fools and how the world was out to get him this morning.

20 minuets later Hermione walked into the gym with her friends behind her. She was amazed at the sight that beheld her.

The gym was a HUGE room with a basketball court taking up most of the room and bleachers to either side. At the back of the gym there was an equipment room. Upon closer observation of the floor, it seemed that whatever sport you were going to play, the lines changed for that sport (so that there was no annoying multicolored floor). The hoops also changed into nets or goals depending on what sport.

They were the first ones there so they looked at all of this wonder with only one other person in the room – Coach Steenport.

"Aha! We have our first arrivers! Now, tell me, honestly, what sports have you played, if any, for how long, and what your name is."

"Ron, Quidditch, since I was 8"

"Harry, Quidditch, since I was 11, muggle PE since I was 6"

"Hermione, Basketball and Soccer (A/N: I know it's called foot ball in England, but let's put it in USA terms for now) since age 9, Water polo and swimming for life" She ended with a very satisfied grin on her face. Harry and Ron looked at her with shock on their faces.

"You play sports?" "What are those?" "How come you never told us?" "Are those real?" The rounds of questions were answered with a simple smile on her face.

"I see," Coach's interest said perking up, "Since you are Head Girl, and you seem to have quite a bit of experience in muggle sports, would you mind assisting me with class?

"No problem."


After procrastinating for as long as he could, Draco finally entered the Gym to the fascination of his eyes and ears. Never had their entire grade been isolated in one place without there being some form of trouble. Draco was asked the questions that everybody was asked when they came in, simply stated that he was Head Boy and doesn't do Muggle sports before he went and joined his friends on the stands.

After waiting for Draco to take his seat, since he was the last one, all the lines disappeared from off of the floor except for the tip off circle the Coach was standing in (I'm just going to call her Coach from now on). Everybody's attention was directed at her, and no one had to be shushed for everybody was anxiously anticipating what was coming next.

"Good Morning class"

"Good Morning Coach"

"Now, as opposed to doing all the boring stuff that's required in warming up before class, you all will just be warmed up before class. You all might have felt physically different when you walked in the room, and that is because you are now warmed up. Those of you who play sports might not have noticed it because of the constant condition you keep your bodies in. Speaking of which, I am very disappointed in the number of muggle sports that any of you have participated in. If you have participated in muggle sports before, and no, muggle PE doesn't count, please stand up."

Hermione stood up proud, before she noticed that no one else was standing. It seemed that as much as some of her other friends were fans of muggle sports, none of them had actually participated. Then she felt a little bit nervous.

"Ah, Hermione. Just who I was looking for. Could you come down here please?"

After some whispering between the two Hermione had a huge grin on her face and went to the storage room and brought out an orange ball looking thing, at least to Draco that's what it looked like. All the lights in the room suddenly went on and Hermione bounced the ball once.

Looking on in fascination, Draco noticed her changing into a black jersey top with the word WILDCAT across the front with a picture of a nicely done cathead, and the number 41 on the back, all in blue but outlined in white. He also noticed that the lines on the floor were coming back and two hoops had appeared out of nowhere. One has to realize that Draco has never seen anything like this before so, he was very confused.

"What is all of this?" He suddenly said out of nowhere.

"Ah, Draco, just the other person I was looking for! Could you please come down here as well?" He suddenly noticed Coach in black pants and a black and white striped shirt and a whistle around her neck.

He went down to the floor level and was shocked when Hermione passed the ball to his chest, which he caught before noticing that he too was changing. He had a neon green jersey with the word Slytherin on the front as well as a serpent in the shape of an S and the number 13 on his back, all in white outlined in black. His what the expression faded into one of fear as he noticed Hermione running at him with her eyes clearly set on the ball.

Not being an idiot and WANTING to get hurt, he threw the ball back at her which she caught bounced on the ground (which he later found out was called dribbling) and shot it in one of the baskets before catching it again, running to the other side of the court, this time zigzagging, shooting it in the other basket, and sprinting back towards Coach where she stopped and spun the ball on one finger, much to the amazement of everybody.

Draco just stood and stared.


"Did I do OK?" Hermione worriedly whispered to Coach.

Suddenly the whole crowd burst out in cheers and applause.

"I'd say so" Coach smiled back at her, "So…who's up next? Draco! How about you give it a shot?"


Draco stiffened but walked towards Coach anyways. Hermione passed the ball to him and he missed it completely. Some people in the stands giggled, but after a glare, they were silent. He picked up the ball and bounced it up and down like he saw Granger had. After doing it a few times he looked up at everybody as if to say, "See I can do this" when he saw Hermione get an evil look on her face. Draco started to walk towards the basket to get away from her, but apparently that wasn't the case as she came up to him, right in from of him, and stood there in a stance that Draco read as defense. Not wanting to show that he was intimidated, he lifted up the ball and threw it at the hoop – except that Granger blocked it first. The people in the stands giggled again.

"What do you think your doing Granger?"

"Playing defense. You'd better practice if you want to get to be anything like me." With that said she threw the ball at his chest and let him shoot it. He actually made it, surprisingly enough.

"Well, I might actually have some competition here." Granger said with a smirk on her face.

"Let's see then."

"One on One?"

Draco, not understanding the language nodded and followed Granger as she walked towards Coach.

"I'm going to show him a little something in a one on one match, that he approved of."

Coach nodded, told the class what was going to happen, and walked towards the middle of the court where the circle on the ground was.

"Well Malfoy?" She said expectantly.

He gulped and went up to the circle not wanting to be defeated by a girl and a Mud blood. So he smirked back at her.


"Bloody Hell! This is going to be amazing!" Ron exclaimed from his seat.

"Well let's watch then!" Harry said, trying to calm him down to watch the first game of the year.

Coach declared a five-minuet game and threw the ball in the air. Hermione must not have prepared Draco for it at all since he stood there stupidly as Hermione jumped, caught the ball and started running towards Draco's side of the court. Draco just stood there watching her as she went, made a shot, and heard the whistle.

"He looks like such an idiot. Even I've figured out that you have to get the ball before the other person does, and I'm not even playing!"

Coach seemed to be telling him this as he quickly got the idea and ran up to Hermione. Since she had already made the shot, she passed it to him. He ran down the court with the ball under his arm and threw it at the basket, not making it.

Coach blew her whistle again and everybody started cracking up. Even Hermione was laughing so hard that she was doubled over.

"God damn it Granger!" Draco said angrily as he realized that she had set him up to make a fool of himself in front of the entire grade.

"Well, we could always postpone…" She said with a look of innocence.

"Your on, Granger, as soon as I learn how to play this stupid sport."

Coach, wanting to break up the coming fight, quickly intervened. "That sounds like a wonderful idea, Draco. Why don't we have the rest of the class try out some exercises and learn the rules. That way you can all be prepared for some games that are coming up soon.

"Fine." Draco said as he stormed back to his seat.


Soon the whole class was split up into pairs, all with jerseys on. They learned how to dribble, how to pass, how to shoot, how to defend, and what the fouling rules were.

Everybody in the class was excited when they left class that day talking about what they had learned and what a fool Draco had made out of himself.

"Draco, Hermione, I would like you to stay after for just a second."

They both left their friends and went up to her

"I would just like to let you know that as Head boy and girl, that you have access to all aspects of the gym at any point you want. So I expect both of you to clean up also. This responsibility will be taken away from you if you do not keep the place clean."

They both nodded and left.
