Harry's Secret: Hermione's Crush
Chapter 4: Afternoon Flying Lessons and the Midnight Meeting
Here's Chapter 4. Thanks to all my reviewers!
After making sure that the Firebolt 3000 was safely tucked into Lily's trunk, she and Hermione made their way to the Quidditch Pitch, where they were going to have their flying lesson. Hermione grumbled the whole way.
"Hey, Mione, flying isn't that bad!" Harry exclaimed as he caught up to them. Hermione snorted.
"Yeah, that's easy for YOU to say, Mr. I'm-a-hotshot-Quidditch- player." Hermione grumbled. Harry patted her arm sympathetically.
"Aw, Mione. Just because you couldn't get your broom to jump into your hand 4 years ago doesn't mean that you can't this year," he said. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Well, if you two don't mind, I'm going to run ahead. See you!" Lily called as she ran towards the pitch. Hermione and Harry, however, hung back.
"Hey Mione?" Harry said.
"Mmh?" she replied, looking at him. He put his arm around her.
"I-I'm really glad we're best friends," he murmured, turning pink. "But I do wish we were more than that," he thought. Hermione sighed and gently rested her head against his arm.
"Me too, Harry. Me too," she whispered.
**************************
By the time they reached the Quidditch Pitch, nearly everyone was there.
"Well, well, if it isn't Potter and his muggle girlfriend," Malfoy sneered. Harry turned bright red.
"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" he shouted. Hermione's eyes darkened.
"Go and boil your ugly stupid head Malfoy!" she spat. Malfoy's eyes narrowed.
"How DARE you, you little Mud-," he began, but he then saw Lindsey's eyes giving Malfoy her murderous death glare, and he shut up. Hermione smiled and mouthed "Thanks," to Lily. She smiled and nodded in return. Just then, Madam Hooch arrived.
"Good afternoon class," she barked. "What are you standing there for? Step up to the left side of your broom NOW!" The students quickly stepped up to the side of their brooms. She paused and continued.
"Stick your right hand over your broom, and say UP!" she commanded. Lily closed her eyes, the shouted "UP!" Instantly, she felt the broom smack into her hand. She opened her eyes and saw that Draco and Harry's brooms had flown up into her hand as well. Hermione's was half way up, and Ron's well, it just smacked him in the head. She giggled.
"Alright. Now mount your brooms properly so that you can't fall off," Madam Hooch continued. Hermione grabbed her broom from its position and clambered on.
"Now, since we have all ridden brooms before, we are going to play Quidditch. Alright. For Gryffindor, I want Patil as left side Chaser, Brown as right side Chaser, and Davis as center Chaser. Weasley, you can still be Keeper. Thomas and Finnigan, you'll be the Beaters. Potter, you'll be the Seeker. For Slytherin, I want Bulstrode as right Chaser, Zabini as left Chaser, and Parkinson as center Chaser. Crabbe and Goyle, you are the Beaters. Malfoy, you are Seeker. Nott, you play Keeper." Madam Hooch said. Lily beamed. Center Chaser! Her favorite position! She looked over at Parkinson. She was a pug-faced girl with stringy brown hair. She was staring at Malfoy, almost drooling over him. Lily snorted.
"Alright on my whistle you will rise into the air. 3… 2… 1… TWEET!" Madam Hooch blew her whistle. Fourteen brooms rose into the air. Lindsey took her position across from Pansy. Madam Hooch let out the Bludgers and the Snitch, then picked up the Quaffle and threw it high into the air. Lily darted forward and snatched the Quaffle.
She flew past Pansy, dodged a Bludger, dodged Nott, and threw the Quaffle as hard as she could towards the hoops. BING! "Gryffindors score! 10-0 Gryffindor!" Madam Hooch shouted.
"YEAH! WAY TO GO LILS!" Lavender shouted, slapping her a high-five. Lily beamed.
Parkinson now had the Quaffle. Parvati gritted her teeth and shot like a javelin towards her. She screamed and dropped the Quaffle. Lavender soared underneath and caught it. Lily flew towards the goalposts.
"LAV! OVER HERE!" she screamed. Lavender tossed the Quaffle to Lily and she threw it into the goal.
"Gryffindors score! 20-0 Gryffindor!" Madam Hooch shouted.
"YEAH-OUCH!" Lavender exclaimed as Pansy threw the Quaffle towards her head.
"DON'T YOU TOUCH HER PANSY PARKINSON!" Ron bellowed. Seamus, helping Ron, shot a Bludger at Millicent's face, which made her drop the Quaffle. Lily shot towards her and snatched the Quaffle, and put it through the hoop.
"Gryffindors score yet again! 30-0 Gryffindor!" Madam Hooch shouted.
Suddenly the teams gasped as the saw Harry and Malfoy shoot towards the ground, towards a speck of gold that was the Snitch. Blaise seized the Quaffle and scored twice without anybody noticing. Harry got further, further, and further ahead of Malfoy. He reached out, and. "YES!" he shouted, pulling up from the dive, with the Snitch in his fist.
"Harry Potter catches the Snitch! Gryffindors win, 180-20!" Madam Hooch shouted.
"YEAH! GO GRYFFINDOR!" the whole team shouted as they sank to the ground in a bear hug. Hermione and Neville Longbottom raced out to meet them, beaming.
"Oh Harry! You were brilliant!" Hermione squealed, hugging Harry. Then she turned to Lily.
"Lils, that was the most amazing game I've ever seen. You're amazing!" she exclaimed, giving her a hug.
"Lily Davis?" Madam Hooch asked, coming over to them. Lindsey turned around.
"Yes, that's me." She answered.
"Well, I must say I was impressed. Since our old center Chaser Angelina Johnson graduated, would you like to play center Chaser?" she asked. Lily gave a huge smile.
"Yes, yes! I'd love to!" she screamed. Madam Hooch smiled.
"Alright. Your first training session with the team is in two days," she said before turning around and leaving.
"Oh my gosh Lils, congratulations!" Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati squealed.
"Yeah, congrats Lils," Harry and Ron said, clapping her on the back.
"Lily?" a voice with a bit of a drawl came from behind her. She spun around to face Draco Malfoy. He smiled. "Well, I must say, you were amazing on a broom. Congratulations for getting on the team." He looked around and added. "We're still on for tomorrow night, right?" Lily smiled.
"Yes, of course," she said.
"Great. See you then!" he smiled and walked back to Crabbe and Goyle.
****************************
Later that night, Lily crept down from her dorm without waking Hermione, and met Lavender, Ron, and Parvati in the Common Room. Lavender smiled.
"Lindz, good, you're here!" she whispered.
"Now, what we want to do is get Harry and Hermione together. They both adore each other, but they can't seem to say it. We need ideas that will get them together. Have any?" Ron whispered. Lily paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, I do," she said. She beckoned them to come closer. "Alright, this is what we need to do. I've actually done this before, so I know what is needed. First, you got to find a way to keep them alone together. Then, two of us have to talk to them privately, to try and get them to spill their true feelings. Ron, you and me better do this because I'm Mione's best friend who's a girl, and you're Harry's best friend, who's a boy." She explained. Lavender sighed.
"Oh, I hope this will work," she muttered. Parvati nodded in agreement. Lily smiled.
"Oh, it will. Believe me it will."
Alright, that was Chapter 4, I don't know when Chapter 5 will be up.. So I don't know.
