Chapter 10 Gryffindore VS Slytherin!
And the Reunion

The bell sounded and right off the bat, the action was flying all over the field, the two beaters of Slytherin were getting beaten down by the Gryffindore beaters, meanwhile the Slytherin chasers were all over the Gryffindore chasers trying to gain control over the quaffle, but they were failing miserably. Meanwhile Harry was hovering high above the action searching for any sign of the Snitch, he thought he saw something over by Gryffindore's defense zone near the golden hoops. He saw something all right, but it was not the snitch, merely just one of the Slytherin chasers' watches. Although just then Oliver wood was struck in the head by a bludger. He than fell to the ground and the game continued, Gryffindore's only hope to win now was for him, Harry Potter to find and catch the Golden Snitch, and fast! Harry searched rapidly through the field trying to find the snitch, he than looked over towards the Gryffindore stands and there it was, hovering right there, most of the crowd didn't even notice it. He then darted straight towards the stands, every one in the stadiums completely confused.

Hermione turned just in time to see Harry come flying towards them. He was leaning as far forward on his broom as possible speeding towards the stands, this shocked the Gryffindore's even more when they saw he was not slowing down for anything, especially Hermione and Ron who of which still had not seen the snitch. He was only 50 ft from the stands by now and still showed no sign of slowing down or turning else where the crowed began to gasp. But just before he grabbed the snitch (and plowing straight into the stands) the Snitch veered downwards flying along the wall towards the ground, Harry followed it to the letter. Harry Dove down at he ground staying with the snitch all the way, scarring the hell out of every one in the stadium. Than the snitch pulled away inches from the ground and Harry followed, he reached forward to grab the snitch but it was just out of reach. He then got an Idea and jumped up standing on his broom in a skate bored style stance and reached forward, he lost he balance and almost as if in sync with Harry, the crowd gasped in shock and horror as he fell, It looked as though he missed the snitch. Harry tumbled tripped and rolled along the ground and finally stopping. Laying there he seemed to have been out cold, the game seemed to have stopped, interrupted by a cruel, unforgiving silence while every one (even the Slytherin team) stopped what they were doing and starred. Then Harry slowly rose to his feet stumbling a bit, his knees weak and full of pain, and he than slowly raised his right hand into the air and opened it. As if in unison with his actions the crowed began to cheer and go completely wiled (except for the Slytherins of course.) Sitting there in his hand, flapping its un-equaled beautiful golden wings was the Snitch. It had been caught. The announcer's voice then boomed through the stadium full with enthusiasm.

"HARRY POTTER HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH! Ending the game and giving Gryffindore a total of One hundred and Seventy Five Points!"

He put emphasis on every word as if trying to make the Slytherins hate him. Harry than let go of the Snitch letting it fly off into the stadium. He than then mounted his broom as he flew up to his friends who were still sitting awe struck in the Gryffindore stands n gave Ron a quick hug and turned to Hermione and instead of a hug, he gave her a soft affectionate kiss on the cheek. He than flew off like lightning and disappeared into the Gryffindore locker rooms to shower quickly and get dressed.

When he came out of the locker rooms, every house except Slytherin came to congratulate him and the rest of the team on their Victory over Slytherin, and especially to congratulate him on his first game, and the spectacular aerial maneuvers he pulled out on his broom. After he had enough of all the questions , he politely excused himself and pushed through the crowd and left them to chat amongst themselves. He than headed straight for the Gryffindore common room to get there before the other Gryffindores did so he could get some piece and quiet. Although not to his complete surprise, two specific Gryffindores had read his movements and beat him to it. Hermione and Ron sat there on the couch talking about the game and even more so about having their best friend/crush (the crush part referring to Hermione heheh) back at Hogwarts. Mainly waiting for him, he smiled brightly at them since they hadn't noticed that he was there. He than spoke calmly, but loud enough to be heard.

"Hey guys! Miss me?"

Both of them jumped clear out of their seats as the silence of the room was shattered by his cheerful, loud voice. They both then turned around and ran over to him, Rong hugged his best friend and Harry did the same.

"I missed you Harry!"

Ron said as he pulled away smiling and laughing as well. Than, before Harry had a chance to even breathe, Hermione ran over to him and hugged him tightly, he lost his balance and they both fell onto the couch behind him. She held him tightly and cried into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close to him. In a, I dare say, Loving embrace. He held her close and she rested her head on his shoulder as she continued to cry. She continued to cry into his shoulder a little longer, she had missed him so much.

"Harry I thought you had been Expelled!"

She sniffed ever now and again as she talked.

"I thought I would never see you again."

Harry rubbed her back gently with one hand while the other stayed around her waist as he comforted her. Now it was his turn to play the light in the darkness.

"It's alright Hermione I didn't mean to scare you so"

Her crying slowed but did not disappear either as she chocked on her words.

"I missed you so much Harry"

A soft warm, soothing smile crept over his lips as he looked down at the crying girl in his arms.

"I missed you too Hermione, very much in fact"

She looked up at him and a bright smile appeared on her lips. That bright smiled which Harry had missed so much. He than hugged her closely, then while they heard a thunderous sound from the halls and corridors below, Harry turned to her and Ron and said quickly.

"Uh.Oh.. I think the rest of the Gryffindores are on their way back!"

Hermione's, Ron's and Harry's eyes all widened as Hermione went to get up off Harry and sit at the couch, but Harry grabbed her and Ron's arms and ran up to the boys dormitories with them, and took them into His and Ron's dorm room and locked the door behind them, Harry than asked Ron to keep the Gryffindores from coming into the room or bothering them. Ron nodded and spoke before he left.

"Don't Worry about it I will keep them back for a while!'

He than turned away and left the room. Harry than turned towards Hermione, who of which was still in tears, glad to see him again. Harry turned and looked into her hazel eyes, seeing her tears and smiled a warm soothing smile towards her and gently whipped her tears away. She smiled softly in return as he hugged her closely in a firm, warm and gentle embrace. She continued to cry, but these tears were of happiness. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, still trying to hold back her tears.

"Harry I missed you so much! I. I thought I would never see you again, I thought they expelled you for sure!"

She slowly began to stop crying glad to have him back as she held him close to her he whispered softly in her ear.

"Not a chance 'Mione you aren't gonna get rid of me that easily!"

He teased lightly but smiled and gave her a soft sweet kiss on the cheek, she blushed but kissed back on his cheek as well, and the both began to chuckle a bit and she hugged him again. He then whispered to her softly in her ear.

"Hermione. I.L-love you.. With all that I am."

Harry began to blush a shade of crimson, but Hermione's Tears increased and her face flushed, turning an even more brilliant shade of crimson than he had. She then smiled and brought one hand up to his cheek, cupping it gently, she leaned up and kissed him softly on the cheek and whispered softly in his ear.

" I love you too Harry.With all my heart. And my soul."

He smiled and hugged her again and they fell asleep on his bed in each- others arms.
