Chapter 8

The Quidditch Grand Final.

It was Saturday. The Grand Final for Quidditch was on. Harry was very nervous something wasn't right today, Ron hasn't replied his letter or returned home from his holiday yet. What was taking him so long? Is he all right? Harry forced himself to stop worrying and concentrated on the game that was about to start. He got dressed in his Quidditch Gear and headed towards the pitch with the rest of his team.

Hermione was in the box waiting for Harry; she always came to watch Harry's Quidditch matches. She was wondering about the letter she received and whom it was from. She was going to meet him at the "3 Sisters" in Hogsmeade tomorrow at 7.00pm. She hoped that Harry doesn't find out about this.

Just then the two teams came out; The "Chudely Cannons", which was Harry's Team, and the "Bulgarian Hornets", which was Victor Krum's Team. Hermione cheered as Harry's Team came out. Harry Flew over to Hermione and kissed her on her cheek for good luck.

"Its you who need the good luck Harry" said Hermione and kissed him back.

Hermione hasn't completely forgotten about Krum. It was in the 4th year when they went out. That summer Hermione went to Bulgaria with Krum. It was a very beautiful place, not so hot and not so cold, which Hermione enjoyed but the relationship didn't last long. Krum always had to practice Quidditch and hardly had any time for her, so she dumped him. She still felt sorry for him but she was going out with Harry now. She still talked to Krum from time to time but only as a friend. The game started. Hermoine woke up from her daydream and concentrated on the game.

Lee Jordan has gotten a job at the ministry, he took over Bagman's old job, and so he was commentating.

"Hello and welcome to the Grand Final between the "Chudely Cannons" and the "Bulgarian Hornets". On the "Cannons" team we have Poa, Wiza, as beaters, Wood, as Keeper; Zimba, Alec and Nerida as Chasers and the famous POTTER as seeker." Everyone cheered and chanted Harry's name. "A little history of Harry Potter, he was the youngest seeker in the century for Hogwarts and now he is the youngest player in National Quidditch."

"Now on the Bulgarian side we have Thorax as Keeper. Azalea, Henle and Page as chasers. Pipo and Zoids as the beaters and KRUM." Everyone cheered once again.

Everyone went quiet the teams mounted their Brooms and kicked off into the air.

"Zimba has the Quaffle, intercepts to Nerida, ooh nice hit Wiza! Cannon scores, 10-nil to the cannons!" The Crowed went wild. "Page throws to Azalea- ooh that's gotta hurt!" a bludger has hit Azalea making her drop the Quaffle." Alec comes around with the Quaffle, intercepts it to Nerida she throws. Nice saved by Thorax, He throws it to Page, ducks a Bludger by Wiza, Page throws it to Henle, Henle passes back to Page, Page scores! 10 points to the Hornets!"

Two hours have passed; it was a very close mach. the Hornets were winning by forty points. 150-110.

Harry was flying around ducking bludgers here and there, he noticed the snitch it was near the box where Hermione was sitting in and was right next to her Ear. He went full belt towards the box. A bludger was coming, Poa intercept it to Thorax and squared him straight in the gut and knocked him off his broom. Harry kept going on his Firebolt 3000; he could hear Krum tailing him. Hermione could see what was just about to happen and ducked as Harry caught the snitch just by Hermione's ear.

"Potter has caught the Snitch, the Cannons have won the Grand Final!" The broad- caster's voice echoed through the Quidditch pitch.

Harry picked up Hermione, placed her on his broom and flew towards the pitch, where his Team waited, with the snitch still fluttering in his hand. The score was 150-160. Hermione was Happy that Harry had won.

Jordan, forgetting to take the Sourus spell off said "Ooh it looks like Potter have gotten himself a Girlfriend, his long friend Hermione Granger, ooh shit sorry Harry" everyone just laughed. Krum heard this and went over to Hermione.

"Hi Her-my-own-ninny." He still found it hard to pronounce her name.

"Oh, Hi Krum"

"Is that true what he zaid?"

"Yeah sorry I didn't tell you."

"Ok well have fun, it's good to see you again, Her-my-own-ninny" Krum gave his typical crooked smile.

"Potter." Krum called out to Harry.

"Yeah Krum?"

"Good game, and treat Hermione right ok,"

"I will", Harry forced a smile; after all, Krum was still Hermione's ex boy friend.

Krum shook Harry's hand and zoomed off to the Changing rooms. Harry on the other hand saw Hermione by herself.

"Hermione Come here."

"Ok Harry," she ran into his arms linking her legs around his waist.

"How is my favourite girl sorry if I scared you before the snitch was right beside your ear."

"That's fine," she leaned forward and kissed him. The whole crowd saw this and cheered and whistled some people being very drunk shouted 'have you scored yet'. Harry didn't answer; all he saw and heard that moment was she.

*****

That night there was a huge party for their victory. Wood's arm, which broke during the mach, was healed. Nerida asked Wood out so now they were together. Poa, Wiza and Alec were very drunk and were on the floor completely out. Hermoine and Harry had a great night and were about to go to Harry's House when a sudden silence forced itself upon the room and the music stopped playing. Harry and Hermoine turned around to see everyone on the floor. Hermoine went over to them and check their pulse none of them were dead except the DJ. Harry's scar burst into pain while a voice inside his head spoke to him.

"Harry, Harry, please save me"

"Ginny" Harry spoke while he caught his head in his arms, trying to stop the pain, but no avail.

"What is it Harry?" came Hermione's worried voice

"My scar it's burning and I think Ron and Ginny are in Trouble."

"What are you talking about Harry?"

"Ron and Ginny are in Trouble. That's why they didn't come to the Game today."

"Harry, I don't like this, I don't like this at all."

"Me neither,"

The voices in Harry's head increased ''Harry please help us, Voldermort has risen, it is my entire fault! Please help me ' then there was a scream.

"Harry I'm scared, let's go home please. You and I will be safe there." Said Hermione.

"Ok let's go."

As they walked outside they saw the Dark mark above them.

"HOLY SHIT!"

"HARRY!" Screamed Hermione.

Hermione was on the ground out cold. She was still breathing but very lightly.

"Fuck you Voldermort, FUCK you!"

Just then the Aurors, came they were everywhere. Mr Black came to Harry. (Sirius have been cleared)

"Harry I'm so sorry."

"Fuck You, she isn't dead, she isn't she is still breathing"

"No I mean about Ron, his parents, Bill and Percy."

"What about them?"

"They were killed by Voldermort's sister, Abigail, A few minutes ago. Ginny, Fred and George are at St Mongo's they were petrified. I'm really sorry"

"YOU LIE!" Harry's eyes went wide, his vision blurred with tears.

"No. I'm so sorry Harry..."

"NO!" Harry yelled in frustration. The Weasley's were like the loving family he never had. They accepted him as if he was a member of the family, how could all this be gone with a blink of an eye? How could he have not been there to protect them after all they have done for him? If only he were there, thought Harry, things might have turned out differently. Surely these thoughts made no sense, Harry couldn't have known this would happen and yet he felt guilt that was soon turned into anger. He will avenge their death or die trying. that was the least he owed them.

Suddenly a low fizzling sound buzzed in the air and a cloud of mist appeared in front of Harry. Fallowed by magical sparks the cloud of smoke slowly took the shape of a woman Abigail stepped out of the shadow. Her long white hair spilled over her shoulders and a mad hollow look was in her eyes. She stepped forward towards Harry and spoke.

"I'm sorry Harry but you brought this upon yourself when you stole my brother away from me, my only comfort was to make you feel like I felt, the same pain, grief and misery, I consider my task done." She turned to walk away.

"You fucking Bitch," Harry stormed to her, drawing out his wand and stunned her on the spot.

"How do you like that now" He snarled, looking down at Abigail's stoned body lying on the floor when a voice brought him back to his senses

"Harry let me take Hermione to St Mongo's" Sirius said.

"NO, I'll take her" he said while picking up Hermione's unconscious body.

"I'll meet you there soon Sirius" he said and disappeared with a 'pop', on his way to St. Mongo's.

"Harry I am sorry you have to put up with all of this pain" sighed Sirius to himself and disappeared with Aurors to St Mongo's

Well there you have it. I would like to thank Hadar for beta-ing it. And making it a lot better. Well in the next chapter Draco is waiting for Hermione, but she doesn't turn up. And at St Mongo's will Hermione, Ginny and the twins survive and why on earth is Draco there. I smell trouble.
