Hermione's heart was pounding when she walked onto the field. She could see why Harry loved it so much. Draco walked up to her with an evil smile on his face.
"You're toast Mudblood. I will get it first. Becoming a good Seeker doesn't come from books, you know. You are going to lose."
"We'll have to see who beats who. The game hasn't even begun." Madam Hooch came out as referee, and released the balls. Hermione eyed the Snitch only to have it disappear into the air.
"Mount your brooms, please." The two teams were now in the air. Hermione looked at Malfoy with a little smirk and said, "Let the game begin."
Madame Hooch blew the whistle and off they went. Hermione took Harry's advice and went straight up. She couldn't believe how fast his broom was. Malfoy won't be able to keep up, she thought. She watched the action below and couldn't believe how exciting it was. She could hear Lee Jordan commentating again and barely hear McGonagall yelling at him. Every so often she would hear "GRYFFINDOR SCORES!" or "Slytherin scores. Good for them." Gryffindor was ahead by 20 points but the Slytherins were caching up quickly. She had spotted the Snitch several times but always missed it. Malfoy almost got his hands on it until a Bludger hit by George almost hit him. Hermione was paying attention to the game below when she saw Malfoy dive. She quickly caught up to him and saw the Snitch. She reached out for it and was rammed by Malfoy. She heard the cheers of the crowd, which eventually faded. She was concentrating only on the Snitch. Malfoy turned to her and said, "I wish my father hit you that night. It would have been a lot easier for me to win." Hermione turned to him in amazement and she suddenly got a burst of speed. She was determined to win.
Harry was cheering with the crowd. Sirius tried to keep him quiet but he couldn't hold it in. She was about to get it. Harry was so excited. Hermione caught the Snitch when Malfoy rammed into a Bludger, that the Slytherin Beater hit toward them. She fell off her broom and was caught by Ron, who landed, and set her down. McGonagall ran toward her and so did Sirius and the invisible Harry. She slowly got up, Snitch in hand. She wasn't hurt but very shaky. The crowd erupted. "GRYFFINDOR WINS! GRYFFINDOR WINS! HERMIONE GRANGER CAUGHT THE SNITCH! YEAH HERMIONE!!! THE SCORE IS 210 TO 40! UNBELIEVABLE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!"
Malfoy went over to her and punched her. She punched him back and soon they were both on the field beating each other. Ron soon joined in and they were split up. Malfoy looked at her with a bloody nose and bruises and then turned to his team. "I QUIT!" he said and walked off. Hermione also was bleeding and bruised. She walked off the field with a smile. She got to punch Malfoy and got him to quit. This was the best day of her life.
Hermione entered Harry's room after the game along with Ron. Harry jumped up and hugged her. She had no idea he was there watching her every move. She went on and on about the game and how she beat up Malfoy. She was so excited and Harry congratulated both of them. He imagined Malfoy after Hermione got done with him and laughed. Later the whole Quidditch team decided to have their victory party in Harry's "room".
