A/N: Let the tournament begin! Sorry it took such a long time but I've been real busy with school and all. This chapter may be a little short because all I'm doing here is explaining which two teams make it to the final round. Even if the team you want doesn't win, keep cheering anyway. This is Part two of three and is called:
Chapter six: Part two: The first and second rounds.
Both the captains shook hands. Ron's palms were sweating madly as only one thought flowed through his mind. "I have to win this for Hermione." Then something strange happened. Ron knew that Fred felt the dripping sweat in his palm and because of this he expected confused look on Fred's face. But his face was far from confused; in fact, it looked more like an amused grin. Then as Madam hooch counted down to one and right before the game began Fred muttered something to Ron: "I know" He said, his grin growing even wider than before and before Ron could even ask what he knew, the game had begun. Little did Ron know that one day while Ron was alone, Fred decided that he wanted to try to sneak up behind Ron and throw live spiders at him just as a little brotherly joke. However, before he could throw the spiders he heard Ron mutter something about Hermione. Curious to see what this meant, he used a tricky little invisibility charm on himself (like the one Professor Dumbledore once used when he found Harry in the room of the Mirror of Erised) and went right next to Ron. Then he heard the few words he had to hear come out of Ron's mouth, "...I guess I really love Hermione." To know what he had to do, he had to try to test this love. Sure enough, that test came right in the middle of their round one Quidditch game. Hermione recently intercepted a pass between Fred's team's chasers and was circling her own goal posts, around Ron looking for someone to pass to when all of a sudden she saw a flying Bludger going straight at her. "WHAT'S HE TRYING TO DO, KILL HER JUST BECAUSE I LIKE HER?" Ron thought to himself, straining hard not to yell this out loud and revealing his true feelings while the Bludger was getting closer and closer to her. Then he did something that only true love could strive you to do. He intercepted the Bludgers path and took the shot right to the chest. "So he really does love her." Fred thought to himself. Then after Hermione landed the easy penalty shot and sunk two straight goals (out of pure anger) Ron's team's seeker, Seamus Finnigan caught the snitch making the final score 190-20. After the game while Ron was resting in the medical tent, Fred decided to pay Ron a visit. "
Good game, Bro" Fred said while extending his hand. Ron just ignored this. " Look I know you may be a little upset and all, but..." Fred started to say when Ron interrupted him "Upset? That's putting it nicely" Ron retorted, "You almost killed one of my best friends and you gave me a bruised rib. You're lucky Madam Pomfrey was there to mend me up after I..." "Jumped in the way to save the girl I love?" Fred replied smoothly. "Wha, how did you?" Ron stammered. "Don't worry, I overheard you mumbling to yourself one day about liking Hermione and decided to 'test' you to see of you really do." Fred said "Wait a minute, you did that on purpose?" Ron said, his eyes flaming as red as his hair. "I can't believe you would do something like that!" "I know, I love you too." Fred responded. "Look, you better get some rest, Diana and her team of almost all seventh years just crushed George's team 270-10 and they're not even tired yet!" Fred warned. "Whatever" Ron replied.

"How am I going to concentrate with her playing" Was the only thought flowing thought Harry's mind about his upcoming game against Angelina and her team of sixth years when Ron all of a sudden came over to talk. "How's the rib?" Harry asked "It's fine but don't worry about that, you have bigger problems." Ron warned. "What, Ginny distracting me off my broom?" Harry said jokingly. "No, worse. It appears that Fred and George did some spying on you and I and they found out I like Hermione and you like Ginny." Ron said "Your kidding." Harry asked fearfully. "No. In fact, since they probably told Angelina, she'll probably try to exploit you. DON'T fall into any traps." Ron warned. "Hurry up over there, the games about to start." "Thanks" Harry said, trembling in fear. "Great, now I have two things to worry about, Ginny and Angelina" Harry started to think as he was interrupted by madam hooch. "Captains, shake hands!" She exclaimed as they both shook hands. Angelina had a big grin on her face. "Mount your brooms, three, two one, GO!" She said as the game started. It started off a pretty slow game. Angelina scored twice on Neville who was actually having a pretty good game. Then, since her team was winning, Angelina tried something sneaky. Ginny was waiting to receive a pass when all of a sudden Angelina came charging at her. She was going to crash into Ginny. Seeing this, Harry actually stopped his pursuit of the snitch (he almost had it) and went to save Ginny. Ginny closed her eyes when all of a sudden she heard a big crash. She expected to start falling but all she saw was a injured Harry. "HARRY!" she exclaimed, she thought he'd fall for sure but all he said was: "Keep playin Gin." This got her pumped as she scored five straight goals to make it 50-20. Then, inspired by Ginny's performance Harry made a swift behind-the-back catch to get the snitch. They won 200-50. After the game Harry heard only a few words from Ron "I told you so." Harry smiled.

After that Chuck (the reserve keeper) beat Steve (the reserve beater) to advance. It was Ron V.S. Diana and Harry against Chuck. Ron's team actually pulled off an upset beating Diana's team 180-170. Diana's team actually got the snitch but Hermione got 100 points and Lavender and Pavil combined for 80 points to put them in the finals. Then in Harry's game Chuck and his team of second years were no match for Harry's team as Ginny got 50 points, Harry caught the snitch and Neville let in no goals leading to a 200-0 win. "I guess it's us against you in the championship." Ron and Hermione said to Harry and Ginny. "Yup, let the best team win." They responded.
