Opposites Attract
A/N: …Where are all my reviews? ;_;
*~*~*
"2, 4, 6, 8, WHO DO WE APPRECIATE? POTTER'S THE BEST, HE'LL BEAT THE REST, GOOOO POTTER!" The cheerleaders at the side of the field jumped madly up and down then threw their pom-poms up in the air. They scrambled into a pyramid with Parvati Patil at the top.
Hermione Granger rolled her eyes. They sounded like Potter was the only person on the team. Well, considering that he was the only one that scores in every game and that Weasley hardly ever lets anybody from the other team score, it was pretty much Potter's game. Ooh, how she hated that kid! Always acting like he's all that, especially after he was the captain of Blackwood's famous rugby team in only his freshman year. He even has his own fan club! How atrocious was that?! Potter always flirts with them even if he has a girlfriend.
Hermione always thought Cho Chang was alright. She was quiet yet outgoing, intelligent and clever and nice. But her respect for her gone down. Chang, a popular good-looking senior decided to date Potter, a guy whose ego was so big you could pop it with a paperclip. (A/N: Harry isn't really full of himself, but Hermione doesn't really know him so from her POV, it looks like he is.) Who did Chang think she was anyway?! She doesn't deserve Potter!
"THOMAS PASSES TO POTTER, POTTER IS STREAKING TOWARDS THE GOAL LINE, DODGES MALFOY, CRABBE AND GOYLE AND..AND…OH BOY, 5 SECONDS LEFT IN THE GAME…GOOOO POTTER! MALFOY HOT ON HIS TRAIL AND....GOOD LORDDDD!!! POTTER WON THE GAME!!!!!!!!!"
The stadium erupted into cheering since Potter's team was the favourite to win. Harry
slapped high fives with everyone on his team and then wrapped an arm around Cho's waist as she ran down to the field, kissing him.
Who did Chang think she was anyway?! Hermione thought bitterly. She doesn't deserve Potter! Then her mind wheeled around. Wait! Was she jealous?!!
"POTTER, POTTER, HE'S OUR MAN, IF NO ONE CAN BEAT HIM, NO ONE CAN!" The cheerleaders waved their pom-poms and did a backwards cartwheel, which resulted in a few knocking themselves out by cartwheeling into the bleachers. Hermione snorted and gathered her books. She missed precious study time as it was and she scrambled down into the fields towards the building.
As she ran by Harry's fanclub, everyone started throwing taunts at her and pinching their noses.
"EWWW, IT'S BRAINY GRANGER!" They giggled and pointed at her.
"HEY GRANGER, POTTER WANTS TO GO OUT WITH YOU!" Ron yelled. Harry punched Ron in the shoulder.
Hermione spun around, her heart beating. She blinked.
"HE SAYS HE'LL MEET YOU IN THE LIBRARY AT 10PM TONIGHT! DO YOU ACCEPT OR NOT?" Ron yelled once more.
Hermione's mind swarmed. "Um…s-sure…"
"JUST KIDDING!!!!" Everyone around them slapped their knees and burst out into hysterics at her expression. "WHO WANTS TO GO OUT WITH YOU ANYWAY??" Someone called out and Hermione spun sharply on her heel, running towards the girls' dormitories wing, clutching her books tightly to her chest.
As she flopped onto her bed, tears welled up behind her eyes. Of course they were joking! Why would Potter go out with HER when he had a girlfriend already? Anyway, if he did broke up with Chang, he would have an exclusive fan club to choose from. Sniffling, she dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief. She felt confused and lost in her thoughts. Why did it matter to her? She hated Potter! Her eyes continued to flow as she stared up at the canopy of her bed.
"Damnit, stop crying, Granger, Potter is a big egocentric guy that happens to be good at rugby and good-looking! In fact, he isn't good looking at all with that ugly scar on his forehead and he doesn't even comb his hair!" She scolded herself and drew her legs up over the bedside.
But as she continued to stare at her reflection in the mirror over her bedside table, she kept picturing Harry's face. His untidy black hair that complimented his face, his gorgeous emerald green eyes that held anyone in a trance, his full lips…
She shook her head. What the hell was she thinking?! Deciding that she needed a good nap to clear her head, she climbed under her covers and held them tightly under her chin.
*~*~*
"THIS PARTY IS GREAT!" Ron yelled over the crowd towards Harry, as he pushed his way towards the snack table. Everyone decided to throw a party in honour of Harry's team winning streak (10 games) or more precisely, just wanted an excuse to ditch studying.
Harry grinned and selected a paper cup full of Hawaiian punch from the table. He tipped it into his mouth. Much to his delight, the punch tasted sweeter than normal and…different. He shrugged. Probably a new version of Hawaiian punch. Ron watched him as Harry downed another cup.
"Like my punch, eh mate?" Ron asked, taking a cup of it himself.
"Oh yeah," Harry wiped his mouth and took another cup. "Whatcha put in it?"
Ron gave him an odd look but then smiled. "Oh, just a secret ingredient that I put in. I think I see Cho coming here. I'll leave you two lovebirds alone then." He gave him a thumbs-up and disappeared into the jostling, dancing crowd.
Cho finally arrived at his side, drinking some punch as well. "This sure beats doing Calculus homework," She beamed at him, flashing a dazzling smile. "You're so talented at rugby, Harry, you should try out for the national teams."
Harry giggled. "Oh, I know. You look so beautiful today, Cho." He laughed so hard as though it was the funniest joke ever. Then he leaned over and locked lips with Cho. They held their kiss and then decided to explore each other's mouths. Harry brushed his hand over her back, then moving his hand through her silky hair. They broke their kiss.
"Wow, Harry…" Cho gasped and leaned in for another drunken snog.
Ron came by, his arm draped over a blonde's shoulder. He raised his eyebrows at them. "Er, get a room, mate." He shoved Harry and Cho away from the punch table then drank some more punch. "Hey, you reckon we should try that too?" He jerked his thumb at Cho and Harry.
The blonde nodded.
