Quidditch
Draco was sat in the Gryffindor stands with Hermione, watching the
Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch game unfold above. Draco's green and silver scarf stood out massively from the crowd
of red and gold, but the 'Gryffindor for Champions' flag he was waving united
him with the group of spectators. In
fact, Draco was an even bigger supporter of the team – read: seeker – than
most, indicated by the 'I ride Harry Potter's broom' banner he had charmed to
hover above his head.
"Malfoy."
"Granger."
"Is that banner really necessary?"
"Entirely."
The scarlet clad seventh year seeker flew over the Gryffindor stands, grinning
unashamedly at the advertisement and at the blond Slytherin below it.
"And the Hufflepuff team captain, Ernie Macmillan, has called for a time
out at this early stage of the game. A
huge change in strategy should be on the agenda if Hufflepuff are to stand any
chance at all of equalising against Gryffindor's amazing 80 point lead."
Draco squinted through Harry's omnioculars at the huddle of red robes on the
pitch below, eyes trained on his boyfriends rear. Salazar, Quidditch robes were damn flattering.
Two minutes later, the Bo's'un's Pipe was blown by Madame Hooch once more and
the game resumed. Yet the outcome had
already been decided. Harry shot
upwards and his hand had clasped the golden sphere before the Hufflepuff
seeker, Hannah Abbot, had even noticed its presence.
Dean Thomas, his commentary drowned out by the cheers from the stands,
abandoned his magical megaphone and jumped up and down on the spot alongside
Seamus Finnegan, both boys waving their arms madly in the air.
Harry glided to a smooth stop in front of Draco and held out his free
hand. Draco grabbed the hand and,
joining Harry on the broomstick in tandem, snatched the banner out of the air
and attached it to the rear of Harry's broom.
Together, the couple flew a victory lap of the Quidditch pitch; behind them the
banner fluttered its silent innuendo in the breeze.
