Disclaimer: well if I owned the world of the great Harry Potter I would be
quite the lucky one wouldn't I. but that honor is for JKR.
Author's Note: well it certainly has been a long time now hasn't it. Well here is the third group date.
~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~
The men were sitting in the living room eating cereal anxiously waiting the arrival of information for the next date.
"So. has anyone kissed her yet?" Jacob asked looking around at everyone.
Lex smirked and began to speak with a sense of arrogance, "Well, you know."
"So Lex you're the kind of guy to kiss and tell?" Hermione said after apparating into the living room. She tapped her foot staring Lex down.
"Umm.er.no,"
"Lex, I suggest you stop speaking entirely because you are only digging yourself into a deeper hole," Fred said looking at Lex like he was the biggest idiot to ever walk the earth.
"Well anyway," Hermione said pulling the bag from behind her back into plain view, "I will be taking Jacob, Michael, Jake, John and Fred to see something I'm pretty sure they will all enjoy." Hermione took out five Chuddley Cannons jersey and laid them on the table. "Meet me at the stadium at three today, use this portkey" she said apparating out of the room with a pop leaving a Firebolt broomstick in front of the fireplace as their portkey.
"This rocks!" Fred said picking up a jersey and pulling it over his head.
~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~
The five men ended up outside of the Quidditch stadium with swarming fans everywhere. Orange and red was everywhere. People had signs blinking over their heads reading "The Cannons can!" and other various sayings putting down the other team were found everywhere.
"Hey guys!" Hermione said appearing in front of them. She was wearing a cannons jersey but she had it cut and tied down the sides so it would be more form fitting and she wore a nice pair of jeans. "Are you all ready?"
The group walked into the stadium and was led to their box seats. They all watched the game intently cheering when goals were scored. After years of being around Ron and Harry they finally got her to like the sport so even Hermione was amused.
After the game was over, which the cannons won, Hermione made an announcement. "Well guys, our date isn't over yet. We are going to go down to the field and meet the cannons."
The men were dumb founded. "Hermione you are God!" Fred said wrapping Hermione in a hug.
~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~
After introductions were made with the Chudley Cannons one of them made an announcement.
"How about we have a little contest, we'll have all of you men on broomsticks and you all must try to find the snitch. Whoever gets the snitch first will get to have some alone time with Hermione."
The men were all up for it. The cannons lent them their broomsticks and before they knew it they were off.
Jake was turning at one of the goal posts when a glint of gold caught his eye. He bolted towards it and the other men noticed. The snitch was diving down to the ground and everyone was following it eagerly. Suddenly it zoomed straight up and everyone fell to the ground except for Fred and Jake. For about twenty minutes the both of them were competing for the snitch and none came out on top. Fred turned to look at his competitor and saw the intense determination on his face. Fred turned around and softly landed on the ground. Soon after Jake caught the snitch and landed next to Fred.
As everyone was coming to congratulate him Jake asked Fred, "Why did you back out?"
"I honestly already know Mione and she doesn't know you. I'm giving you a chance," Fred said with a smile on his face as everyone approached them.
"Well you to get on here," one of the Chuddley Cannon members said to Jake and Hermione gesturing to a broomstick which was floating next to him. "You two just get on here and the broomstick will guide you to a certain spot. We expect you back in half an hour."
Jake got on first and gestured for Hermione to go on in front of him. Before they knew it the two of them were soaring through the air. They flew past the stadium and over a small meadow. The broomstick finally descended onto a small cliff, which looked over a valley in the mountains. They landed next to a blanket on the ground with a platter of cheese, crackers and wine on it. The sun was starting to set and the rich orange and pink colors were engulfing the sky.
The couple sat down on the blanket and began talking.
"So, Fred says he's known you for a while," said Jake.
"Yea, me and his brother are good friends,"
"So is he like, guaranteed?" Jake joked.
"No, I never got to know him really well,"
"Ok, good, because I want to have a chance," Jake opened the wine bottle and poured each of them a glass.
"Thanks," Hermione said looking at the magnificent sunset.
"It's romantic isn't it,"
"I must say it is," Hermione said turning towards him. She looked into his deep brown eyes. Jake leaned in and gently caressed her lips. When they pulled away it was time for them to go and they went on their broom and flew back to the stadium.
~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~
Hermione got back to her villa late that night. She lied down in her bed and the thought came to her. She was beginning to have feelings, and it was for more than one person.
~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: I'm just going to do the rose ceremony now because this chapter would be way too short otherwise.
~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~
After Hermione had some short conversations with the men she was told she had to make her decision. She stood looking at all of the men's pictures reminiscing the events that occurred.
After much trouble choosing she went downstairs with the roses standing on a pedestal.
She took a deep breath and began with her easiest choice, the one chosen for her.
"Draco," he walked up to her with a light smile on his face, it was almost genuine. "Draco, will you accept this rose?"
"Gladly," he said before he walked back into line.
Fred was astounded, to say the least.
She continued on listing all the names.
"Cody,"
"Jake"
"Justin"
"Dylan,"
"Chris L"
"Bryan,"
"John,"
"Fred,"
And
"Lex,"
In the end the men not chosen looked rather disappointed but walked away trying to have their dignity. (A/n: I think I'll make one of them cry later on, aww I'm so mean)
Fred came up to Hermione after mostly everyone was gone or not paying attention, "Why are you picking Draco?"
"Fred, its hard to explain," she said knowing she could not make him understand.
Draco looked at them and overheard Fred's comment. He walked over to them, "Fred is it so unfathomable to believe she might actually like me?"
"Yes Malfoy, in fact it is," Fred said glaring at him.
"Well you better get used to it," Draco said putting an arm around Hermione's shoulder.
"Get your disgusting hands off her Malfoy!" Fred said about to attack Draco, but Hermione jumped in front of him.
"Fred, please, just ignore him, alright. Do it for me," Hermione said pleading with him.
"Ugh, fine," Fred said giving in.
~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: So what do you think?
Ron: I think you should blow Malfoy's bloody head off
Author: Ron, this is called fan fiction, fiction being the key word. It's not real, it is made up by me.
Ron: Then its your fault Malfoy is touching her!!
Author: Er. I'll get back to you on that.
R/R!!!!!
