Hermione and Draco walked up and out of the underground castle and into the open air. In Draco's hand, there were two brooms. In Hermione's hand, there was an instruction manual. Draco sighed when he looked at it.

"Hermione, I'm your instruction manual. You don't need that. How many times must I tell you?" Hermione shook her head.

"But Draco, What if I need it?" Draco took the book and threw it away. Hermione watched it fly and gasped. "Why did you do that?"

"Because you don't need it. You've got the best teacher in the world."

Draco pretended to swagger around, making Hermione laugh. He loved the sound of her laughter. "Now, let's get started." Draco gave Hermione one of the brooms. "The first thing to know about flying is what broom you're riding."

"Ok..." Hermione said, tentatively taking the broomstick away from Draco.

"Now, your broom happens to be a Comet 540. Pretty late model, good condition, see how the tail is slightly tilted? That makes you more aerodynamic. Understand?"

"Yes......no." Hermione was getting a little worried.

"Don't worry about that. Now, time to mount the broom. Swing your leg over the stick. No, the other way. Good girl. Now, grasp it-"

"EEK!" Hermione slid off the broom and hit the ground. Draco put his hand over his eyes. "Sorry." She said sheepishly, and mounted again, keeping a firm grip on the neck.

"Better. Now, kick off with your feet."

"Do what in the shower?" Hermione was extremely confused.

"What? Just push the ground with your feet. Not too hard, mind you."

Hermione kicked the ground, and her broom took her up. She cried out in delight.

"Draco! I'm flying! Oh....my...." Hermione's face turned green. Draco quickly jumped on his broom and kicked off. Hermione began to slide off the broomstick. Draco flew underneath her, barking instructions.

"Hermione, hold onto the broom. Grasp the neck! Lock your ankles. Sit up straight! No! Don't look at the ground! Shut your eyes!" Hermione's eyes snapped shut, and she began to sit up straighter. The broom was stationary. Hermione opened her eyes.

"D-Draco....am I ok?"

"You're fine. Do you want to keep flying?"

"Yes. I just...I'm afraid of heights I guess." Draco flew next to her, keeping the pace slow and steady. They made their way around the upper grounds. Sam and Ashley came up and watched the lesson.

"...now, don't grip the wood tootightly, otherwise your broom will speed up. And we don't want that right now, do we? Just relax."

Hermione's broom was steady, and they soon flew down after about an hour. Ashley and Sam helped Hermione off the broom. She clutched her back, then her knees.

"Draco, I don't know how you do it every day. My knees and back are killing me!"

Draco grinned. "Yea, but you'll get used to it. Maybe by next week, we'll start having races, if you're up to it Hermione."

"I'd like that." Hermione said, and looked deep into Draco eyes. Sam and Ashley seemed to disappear. It was just the two of them. Draco leaned foward, and Hermione likewise. Before they could follow their instincts, Sam cried out.

"Ah! Snakes!" He hopped on Hermione's broom and flew off. Ashley screamed.

"Sam! YOU CAN'T FLY! WHAT ARE YOU DOOOING!" Draco broke away from Hermione and flew off, trying to save Sam. Hermione and Ashley watched with worry as Draco caught up to Sam and led him back down.

"Sam, next time, watch what your doing." Draco said, laughing. "What were you afraid of?"

"S-Snakes...they're everywhere." Sam said nervously, looking around. "You can't be too careful."

"C'mon silly, let's get you inside." Ashely giggled, and helped Sam start towards the shed that would lead them down into the school. Hermione looked at Draco longingly. Draco shared her glance for one brief moment, then followed Sam and Ashley down into the school.
