Chapter One- Spying
Hermione Granger crept slowly down the dimly lit corridor, being very careful not to be heard.
She was stalking after none other than the Draco Malfoy, hottest guy in school.
Every night for the past two weeks, Hermione had seen the slytherin boy out on the grounds surrounding Hogwarts after curfew, sneaking off towards Hagrids' Hut, although she knew for a fact that Malfoy hated their care of magical creatures professor.
She had told her best friends Harry and Ron, but they had told her not to bother about it, the duo had already been in enough trouble this year and they had only just started their sixth year three weeks ago.
That was why the Gryffindor Princess was now out following Malfoy, hidden under the invisibility cloak she 'borrowed without asking' from Harry. Her two friends had had their own little adventures already, and she was tired of the miss 'goodie goodie' reputation she had accumulated over the years in Hogwarts, she wanted some excitement.
Why she decided that she would use the heartless son of a death eater to find that excitement she didn't know, it was that aura that surrounded the blonde bad boy, something that seemed to demand attention.
'He's probably a death eater like dear old daddy.' She thought to herself as she followed him out into the courtyard.
She threw the slytherin a few suspicious looks as the boy led her closer and closer to Hagrids' hut, and she stopped, mouth hanging slightly open as she saw him knock on the hut door.
Hermione rushed towards Draco, getting as close as she dare lest Draco sense that she was behind him, and stopped just metres from him just as Hagrid opened the door.
"Oh, 'ello Draco. Yur a lit'le late today." Said the half-giant.
Draco sighed lazily, "Sorry," he mumbled. "Slytherin trouble."
Hagrid laughed heartily. "Should 'ave known." He replied, and stepped out of the doorway to let Draco walk through.
The brunette panicked, thinking that she would miss out on what was happening inside, and rushed forward to try and get through the door before it closed.
She almost froze when she stepped on a twig and heard it snap, but quickly pushed her way through into the hut, while Draco and Hagrid were staring cautiously outside trying to find who had made the noise.
Finally after a thorough look around the hut, Hagrid appeared back through the entrance and ushered Draco over toward the burning fire near the back of the hut.
She watched as Draco removed the mat that was in front of the fireplace and was shocked to see a trap door appear.
Hagrid gave the door handle a good tug and with a creak, it slid open and Draco walked down the spiral staircase that was revealed. Hagrid walked back over to his window to check for anybody watching and Hermione took this opportunity to make her way after Draco.
Hermione gasped as she looked at her surroundings, she was in a type of battle arena. It was oval in shape, and had a distinct medieval feel. It reminded her of the muggle film she had seen, Gladiator.
She followed Draco who walked towards the centre of the Arena where there was a small ring of chalk drawn on the floor, but more noticeably were the four people that stood there.
"Ah, it seems you finally decided to arrive." Said Dumbledore with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. "Slytherin trouble I assume?" Asked the headmaster.
Hermione saw a ghost of a smile pass over Draco's lips. "Isn't it always sir?" he said.
As per usually, before Dumbledore ever got to the point, he made idle conversation about the day, and asked how Draco's day had been. Hermione took this time to study the other three people in the room.
On Dumbledore's left was Professor Snape, the potions master. He wore a slightly relaxed expression on his face, and to Hermione's astonishment he too joined in the idle conversation. Snape was not one to talk much let alone make petty talk.
Behind Snape stood two people who Hermione was both excited and stunned to see.
One was there third year Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor R.J. Lupin, just the same as she remembered him; brown hair, brown eyes and slightly sharper Canine teeth, indicating that he was still part werewolf.
The other was someone she had met in the Order of the Phoenix. Her name was Nymphadora Tonks, but everyone knew never to call her by her first name, otherwise you would find yourself transfigured into something quite unnatural.
"Come on then," said Lupin, gaining the others attention. "We had better get started then." He gave a short, sharp clap of his hand, and Draco moved over to a table, and started removing his outer robes.
Under all those slytherin robes, and after all that time Draco spent mocking muggles, Hermione was amazed to see that her was wearing a muggle t-shirt and blue muggle jeans, which she hated to admit, suited him perfectly.
His well toned abs could be seen through the t-shirt, showing that quidditch had done his body some good, and she watched as the muscles in his arms rippled as he stretched.
He placed his wand on the table next to his robes and turned back to Dumbledore.
"I'm ready."
Read and Review- Even if you just want to say "Hi, that was good, or that was a piece of crap" I really don't mind, just let me know here is someone alive out there!
I know it's kind of crap, but I haven't posted a story in a few years; I'll get back into the mood soon.
Sorry this chapter is really short, the next will be a LOT longer, but if I didn't post it now, I don't know if I ever would have.
