A/N: Not much to say. But I shall talk to my fabulous reviewers!

Tera McCaslin: Thank you lol! It's great to know that, even at my worst, I can make people happy! Yes, oh yes, the challenge is on.

gary loves sporks: I had a lot of fun writing the reactions, although I think there should be some more from the gryffindors which I shall try to sneak in.

Jameth: Well, you just made my day great!

Anna-Belle Malfoyx3: No worries, girl. Even the slightest review is appreciated. Thanks.

NeoAddctee: Lol well if I told you then you would be surprised!

mysteriouscharm: Ya I love writing with Draco because you can make him show his emotions and hide them, because he does both, and it doesn't hurt the effect.

DragonMisstress325: I hope you had fun swimming!

Just Y: I love your review, lol! Because that is how I picture my stories in my head; like a movie would be. I happen to really like my chapter 14 too (if I may say so myself) so far, but I also like chapter 11 and chapter 13 was a lot of fun to write. The only thing I didn't like about my chapter 14 was my cheesy ending lol. Did you guys notice that? Hah. But, yeah, that song worked really well with it, especially if you listen to it while reading the thing.

Anyways, my pretties, on to the story!

Chapter Seventeen: Duel In The Dark

Dracos POV:

I couldn't believe that bloody wench. I suppose she thinks she's popular for being able to spread these idiotic rumors. She just doesn't have a life.

I swiftly walked back to the Common Room where I retrieved my books and set off for class. I spotted Hermione on the way walking with the two blubbering idiots. Oh yes, and Giddy Ginny was there too, over-congratulating my girlfriend.

I sat down in the Defense Against The Dark Arts classroom and looked up at the teacher. Professor Figgle was a favourite teacher amongst the students so far this year. He was a tall man with dark brown hair and bright green eyes that reminded you of halloween for some odd reason. He loved to have fun with the students, and that's why they liked him…

End of Dracos POV.

Hermiones POV:

"Good morning class! Today we will be practicing some of the spells that we have been learning with your partners," Professor Figgle instructed as he clapped his hands for silence. "I expect to hear forms of the indisium, ferlactimis, andrectus and suptalon curses being used. I want to see you block each and every one of them. And please, class, no fooling around. We don't want heads to roll, not today."

Nevilles hand was the only one to raise a hand in the whole class. "Yes, Mr. Longbottom?"

The boy seemed to tremble nervously as he asked his question. "And… and what if we fail to block the curses, professor?"

"Well then I hope this lesson will ensure that you pay more attention in class and will next time be much more prepared." Neville gulped, and the professor continued. "Partner up with who you feel suitable with. I understand that all of you would enjoy being with your friends, but try to be with someone who can match up to your skill. When you have you're partner, please come up to my desk so that I can write you down and then you may proceed into the dueling room."

Ron, Harry and I looked at each other. I sighed, knowing Ron and Harry were both bound to pair up.

"Hermione, I'll be with you," Harry surprisingly spoke up.

Ron gave Harry a glare and took Hermiones hand. "No, I will. We can't have him throwing anymore spells at you," Ron spat. He was right. I still didn't trust Harry all that much. Apparently Professor Figgle had overheard our conversation as he piped in to solve the problem.

"I suggest that the Head Boy and the Head girl partner up," came the voice of the professor. Harry and Ron both gaped at the professor. I looked to the back of the room where Draco and Blaise, who I guessed had planned on being together, had the same expression as Harry and Ron. I felt wanted and unwanted at the same time. I noticed the whole class watching and whistling as Draco got up from his desk and walked over to mine. I was in pure shock. He never moved!

I got up and looked at his cocky smile. He seemed to be enjoying the increasing attention from the students. I nudged him as he winked back at his fellow slytherins. Itchy little prat! Shouldn't the slytherins be disgusted at this relationship, and not find it amusing at all? Did I blink and miss something?

Professor Figgle opened the large doors to the dueling room and Draco and I stepped in. Draco leaned into me to whisper into my ear. "Are you ready to be beat?"

"I don't know, are you?"

We found a spot in the large room and the professor came to start us off. "Now, students, I want you to start off with small spells and work your way up." We both nodded and looked at each other.

"Lambrioctus!" Draco shouted before I even had time to register that we had started. I quickly dodged it.

"Aphrocto!" I yelled back, but Draco countered it with ease.

"Indisi!"

"Terlana Feniti!"

At this point, other kids had began to enter the room and it was filling quite quickly. Ron and Harry had found their way beside us and were dueling. Blaise and Jacob Mulster had found their way on the other side of us.

"Ferlactimi!" Harry shot at Ron. The room was filled with different sorts of lights all flying at once. It almost looked as if they were having a firework show. I turned back to Draco just in time to block his Spectacrium spell.

"Hermanus!" I cried as a large blue light flew out of my wand. Draco's eyes went wide. In those split seconds I noticed that he didn't have the time to remember the counter spell. I watched as he fell to the floor in a push up position and shot back up. It was unbelievable how sexy he could be without meaning to.

(A/N: I'm fitting in the lyrics to Pedal To The Metal by Kazzer in hear in italics. It sounds really good with this scene, but if you don't want to read it , just skip the italics.)

I'm like a 454 with the four on the floor
Deuce coupe comin' at ya avoiding the capture
Far from stock I'm chopped and ready to rock
In the city of steel catch me cruisin' down the block
But nowadays is difficult I'm out on my own
Drive an 86 jetta hopin' that I could do better
But my car keeps me humble in the concrete jungle
Despite the wear and tear it seems to always get me there

He popped back up and got his wand out straight infront of him. We started circling each other, never breaking contact as I raised a questioning eyebrow. "Show me what your father taught you." My statement turned many heads as Draco smirked at my words.

"Fine. But, remember, you told me to." We circled one my time before he let out another word. "Westraco!"

Oh, I've read about that one before! I quickly blocked it with a counter spell. "Sensadiam!" He slightly shifted his weight, successfully dodging it. It was time to think outside of the school books.

"Rectantro!" A yellow light sent a binding string around me, squeezing me painfully.

"Ugh! Snepparia," I muttered as it quickly disappeared. I slowly climbed back up as I kept my wand pointed at my opponent.

Rebuilt the motor 'cause she decided to blow
And what do you know someone stole my stereo
When it's time to go I put my foot on the floor
Let the diesel do the work I ain't complaining no more
Highways and straight-aways off roads and open roads
No matter where I go I'll be makin' the show
And it's kinda like life when life treats you good
It's not what on the outside it's whats under the hood

"Panticus," he muttered as a green light came at me. I quickly spun around, moving to my left, dodging the spell.

"Cryptin!" I hissed as a red light hit him as two cuffs appeared on his hands. He immediately fell to the ground. I was sure I had him.

I strode over to Draco with my wand pointed at him. He was struggling fiercely. "What the hell did you do?" he exclaimed. Oh, daddy didn't teach you that one?

"Cryptinus curse. Creates two painful, heavy cuffs on the victims hands that will bring them to the ground, easily." At this point, he smirked. What the hell was he smirking at? He was the one on the ground!

Put the pedal to the medal and I'm off ain't never getting lost
Which way will I turn when roads cross
Put the pedal to the metal a little more and it's scary
But one thing's for sure keep my foot on the floor
Put the pedal to the medal and I'm off ain't never getting lost
Which way will I turn when roads cross
Put the pedal to the metal a little more and it's scary
But one thing's for sure keep my foot on the floor

He flung his body around, holding himself up with his hands, and kicked my knees, sending me to the ground. He strained to turn his wrist towards me and pointed his wand accordingly. "Refendio!" I shot up into the air and crashed back down to the floor. I sprang up and walked etremely fast to him, muttering every hurtful spell I could think of.

He blocked each one of them with complete ease. He was really pissing me off.

My thoughts were interrupted. "Dacrioti." I was too angry to counter it. I just tilted y head to the right and let it fly by. The little bugger smirked at my action.

It doesn't matter what you drive it's how you drive what you got
Discipline you could win just let the tires spin and begin
The journey of life with each stride meet me on the other side
Let me know when you arrive sometimes we collide
Be sure that you're insured got the back up plan alternative program
Who I am doesn't reflect material wealth my vehicle approaches stealth
All the fools want to show off and shoot off their mouths
I'm comin' with the wickedness so I can take them out with my style
style style style style when I bust the true school watch this hip hop

"Lendenda!" I screamed as a purple light departed from my wand. I watched as it hit him before he could open his mouth and sent him spinning. It reminded me of second year. That was genuis.

"Acrodia!" I was sent crashing into the hard stone beside me. I felt a bit off blood trickle down the back of my head. Something bad was going to happen soon or later.

Put the pedal to the medal and I'm off
Put the pedal to the medal and I'm off
Pedal to the medal and I'm off

With a '62 bird and I'm out like that and I'm out
With a '62 bird and I'm out like that and I'm out

"Heractus." Suddenly, I was pressed aginst the wall and I couldn't move. Draco walked over to me with a grin that couple cause me to slap him if only I could. "I should use this spell more often," he whispered into my ear and he pressed against me. "Inluminatus." It went suddenly dark around our area. It was obvious that no one could see us. I was a little scared. I felt kisses trail down my neck and around my collarbone that caused my heart to flutter involuntarily. A hand crept up my skirt and started to play with the rim of my panties. Oh god…

"Draco, what are you doing?" I hissed as he sucked on my neck. I didn't get an answer as I felt his hand lift my shirt. My hands were pinned against the wall and I couldn't do anything to stop the situation that was taking place. I almost felt like I was forced into it, but I liked it. I was scaring myself. He roughly tugged off my shirt and unhooked my bra. What if someone found us?

I felt his warm mouth engulf one of my nipples as his tongue flicked over it. I couldn't help but moan. I wanted to run my hands all over him, but they couldn't move. I felt him suck hard and then move to the other one. His hand was now playing with my curls inside my panties. He muttered something and I could now move my legs. He pulled my pants off, lacking a gentle touch, and started to slide his hand up my legs until he reached his treasure. He pushed my wet panties to the ground and let his tongue slip between my wet, bare thighs. It slowly and teasingly moved upward until it plunged into me. I wrapped my legs around his had as he ravaged me. I moaned loudly as his hands sqeezed my ass.

I spilled and he brought his head out. He stood up and looked at me with his lustful eyes as he licked his lips. He crashed his lips against mine as his tongue plunged into my mouth. My tongue equally fought for dominance as his had cupped my breast. He started to suck my neck intensely as I felt his erection between my thighs. I wrapped my legs around him and brought him closer. His animal eyes looked into mine as he unzipped his zipper and slipped out his large dick. I pulled him into me again and heard him groan. He wasted not time before entering me and thrusting against me hard. I felt my muscles contracting around him as he burried his face into my neck. I started to moan loudly as he muffled his with my skin. He finally came into me and I moaned his name as I came.

"Hello, Draco?" I heard a voice come. Draco quickly seperated from me and pulled himself back into his pants.

"Yo, Blaise. It's just me," Draco called out as I saw Blaise enter our dark circle.

"What are you do- Oh my god…" He smirked as he looked me over. I felt like I was a picture being examined.

"Draco! Get this spell off! He can't see me like this!" I cried at my grinning boyfriend.

He ignored me though, and turned to Blaise. "Jealous?"

"Heck yeah," Blaise mumbled as he walked over to me and trailed a finger down the middle of me until he reached my lower stomach.

"Hands off her," Draco spoke darkly. His friend immediately backed up.

"So that's what those animal sounds were?" Blaise asked.

"Oh ya. She's my little animal," Draco smiled and muttered a spell, letting my hands free. I quickly slid my clothes on and went to Draco, hugging him from behind.

"I can't believe you guys shagged right in the middle of a pack of students. It's genuis," Blaise further continued. Draco gave him a cocky look as did I. It did kind of feel dangerous. It wasn't as though I had a choice, though.

"You know me, always trying something new. So don't worry, we're coming out there in a second. Where's Jacob?"

"Oh, shit!" Blaises eyes widened as he ran out of our dark space. Draco turned around so that he could wrap his arms around me aswell.

"Next time, I will not be disabled," I said seriously. He smiled down at me and kissed my forehead.

"So you are promising me a next time? Fabulous."

I gaped at him. "No, I meant-" His lips brushed against mine softly, shutting me up. "Let's go back to class." We both walked out of the darkness, me in a mess. My clothes were wrinkled and my hair was fuzzing up. My lips were also visibly bruised.

"Hey, Hermione, where'd you go?" I heard Ron's voice from my side. I turned to him.

"Oh, no where," I replied as Harry joined us.

"You look like a mess, 'Mione," Harry implied as he cocked an angry eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, well, Draco beat me really bad."

"He can't have beat you! You're Hermione!" Ron exclaimed in shock.

"Oh, I beat her, Weasley. I beat her hard." Dracos voice came as he walked up behind me and slapped my ass before wrapping his arms around my waist. Oh how I loved and hated him so much…

Rons and Harrys faces went into anger as they stared Draco down.

I sent them a nervous smile. "So… who wants to go to lunch?"

A/N: So, guys, how'd you like it? Yep, a little sex scene for you! And a dueling scene which I admit, wasn't all that. Please review. It makes me happy! I'm sorry it took so long. I was on vacation without a computer. I know what you're thinking, the horror! Well I'm also thinking of starting another story which I think would be interesting but I'm worried it might delay the chapters for this story. What do you say?
