The Quidditch Match Part 2
The Quidditch Practice: Ron's Coldness
As Harry got ready for the Quidditch that was coming up he couldn't help be fell nervous about playing. This would be the first time he had got a chance to see Malfoy. He picked up his Firebolt and walked downstairs where Hermione was waiting. "Hi, Harry!" she said hugging him. "Hi there yourself." He replied. She looked into his emerald green eyes. "Come on or else you're going to be late for your match against Slytherin!" Hermione snapped blushing him to the prorate hole. Harry grinned and pulled her along. "Hey!" she yelled. But Hermione didn't have a chance to get him back for Draco Malfoy was walking towards them. Crabbe and Goyle with him. "Well. If it isn't the traitor and the Mudblood." He sneered at Hermione. She turned a pale pink. Then Harry looked coolly at Malfoy. "Since when do you care about me being a traitor, Malfoy?" "Since you left, Potter. You had a chance at great power but you had to throw it all away for a slimy Mudblood!" Harry looked bored. "Come on, Hermione. We got a match to win." He said tugging her along. Nodding she followed. With 20 minutes to spare Harry dashed out to meet his team. "Hi yeah, Harry!" Fred called. "Guess what? Old Ronnkins is Quidditch Captain!" George grinned. "Cool! But, how? Ron doesn't even play Quidditch." Harry frowned. "Well, we watched him over the summer and we thought that he deserved it. So he's now the Keeper and there he is now!" George said pointing at a figure that was coming. Then Ron came running up to them. A Nimbus Two Thousand in his hand. Fred and George got Nimbus's too. "Dad got a new position the department of Games and Sports! As the head!" Ron yelled happily. He ran over to Harry. "Still Seeker, eh? Well, no surprise there. You're still the best after my brother, Charlie." Ron said puffing out his chest with pride. The team rolled their eyes. "Ron, Harry's always been our Seeker! And nothing can change that." Fred sighed. "So? Doesn't mean that he can't be replaced as a Keeper!" Ron snapped. "Ron, do you want to be Seeker or something?" Harry asked. "You might say that." he said coldly. "Then let's see how good you are then." He said. Then he opened the box that held the Quidditch balls. Then the tiny golden snitch flew out. Harry and Ron shot after it. Ron dived down as Harry did. But little did Ron know he had played right into Harry's trap. As quick as he could Harry pulled out of the dive and brushed his toes against the grass. "AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ron yelled as he hit the ground. The team turned just as he went, SMACK! "Ron! Are you all right?" Fred yelled as he ran over to his brother. "Very good, Ron." George laughed. Ron was furious with himself. "He can stay but if he doesn't win the match coming up he's cut from the team, got it?" he snapped. "What! You can't cut him off the team if doesn't win! It's unheard of! Even Wood wasn't that cruel!" Fred roared. "He's off! If he doesn't make it! Neville Longbottom will take his place!" Ron yelled back. Then he walked off. "What was that all about?" Hermione had just walked on. "I have to win or else Ron is gonna replace me with Neville." Harry said in a gloomy voice. Then Hermione smiled at him and led him away. "Harry, Ron just got the position. Give him a break." She whispered to him. He looked at her and smiled back. "Fine. Anyways I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me and the team next weekend." He asked her. "OK. I'll go with you." Hermione said. Then he took her hand and led her towards the school. Inside Dumbledore looked out his window. Oh my is that Lily and James? He thought. But then as the figures came closer he laughed. It's Harry and Hermione. He smiled. Then he sighed and returned to his desk where Flawkes his phoenix sang out a low but sweet note. "Yes, I know that it wasn't them. But one can hope for there well be another of them. James would have been proud that his son was in love with a girl that was his soul mate." He smiled at his bird. The bird blinked at him. As Harry entered the Great Hall with Hermione they sat down for dinner Dumbledore walked over to them and smiled. "Good evening, Mr Potter, Ms Granger. I think I have some good news to tell you two. Please follow me to my office when you're done here. The password is, ice mice." Then he left. Harry looked at Hermione who looked blank. As they made their way to Dumbledore's office they heard Ron yell, "Oy, Hermione, where are you going?" "I need to see Dumbledore. Harry's coming too." She added. Harry looked at Ron. "Ron, why did you freak out when I'm still Seeker?" he asked. "Because, I always wanted to be Seeker! And instead I got Keeper! You always have to have the spotlight! For once I would like to have to spotlight!" Ron shouted. "Ron, please give him a break!" Hermione snapped. "Hermione, stay out of it! You have no idea what's like to be me!" he roared. "Is there a problem here?" asked a quiet voice. "No, Professor Dumbledore." The trio chorused together. "Well good I was being to worry where Mr Potter and Ms Granger went and so I decide to look for them." He looked at them and smiled. "So come along, Harry, Hermione." And Dumbledore led them away. The two looked at each other. Hermione smiled at him. Harry felt his face turn a pink color. "Harry, your face is pink." Hermione said pointing at him. He blushed deeper and looked at her. "It's nothing." He said. As Dumbledore gave the password, "Ice mice." They stepped on to the moving staircase and up to his office.
