Chapter Two : Snitchy Encounter

-----::-----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----


"Is this a challenge!?" Harry asked back, affected by the taunt of the crowd.

"What do you think!?" Hermione said, her face relaxed as she raised her eyebrows suggestively.

.-----::-----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----



Hermione slowly opened her eyes. Blinking a several few times to realize it was already morning. She yawned and slowly got half of her body up.

'What the-?' Hermione thought as she saw herself, almost half-naked, she only had her bra and skirt uniform on.

She couldn't remember what happened last night, Why was she still in uniform and half-naked, Why was she in her special room, Why is her head hurting so much? How did she end up there? What happened last night?

She tried to focus on the events last night, then she remembered, her memories started flashing back in her mind.

FLASHBACK
-----::-----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----

Hermione kissed Draco on the cheek, then simply hugged him. They were alone in an empty Charms classroom.

Draco just stayed motionless. He was very silent and didn't say a word since they were there.

"Baby, is there anything wrong?" Hermione frowned as she held his shoulders.

Draco didn't want to look at her eyes. He closed his eyes. And took a very deep breath.

"Hermione, I really don't want to do this. But, my mother and father found out about us." Draco stated, his voice started to shiver.

Hermione dropped her jaws for a while. She didn't expect them to know already but she knew this time would come.

"So?" Hermione raised her eyebrows.

"Hermione, I'm sorry. We have to break up." Draco said, almost whispering, Hermione's heart seemed to shatter to pieces that very moment, not noticing tears falling down her eyes.

"I thought you won't do this to me Draco! I thought you loved me! I thought you would accept me for who I really am! If you really loved me then you won't let what your parents think of me affect you!" Hermione screamed at Draco, shocked for herself on just what Draco did.

"Hermione, I'm really sorry..." was all that Draco could muster to say. He tried to hold her.

"Don't touch me! How dare you!!" Hermione almost screamed.

"But No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for expecting there was something different in you from all the boys I loved. I thought you were it, and then you couldn't love me as much as I loved you! Bst!! You should be thankful I didn't play with you Draco!! From now on, You're just another guy!!" Hermione spat out, her anger rising.

Draco just dropped his jaws. No words escaped his mouth except for a faint gasp at Hermione's reaction.

Hermione wiped her tears with her robe. Looking at Draco straight in his eye, she slapped him. Hard. And she ran away.

Nikki, who was waiting outside the room, sitting on the floor, reading a book, looked at Hermione as she slammed the door, and ran away.

"Hermione? Are you alright?" Nikki asked as stood up and threw her book to the side as she tried to catch up.

Hermione just ran and ran, she wanted to go outside, anywhere.

"Hermione!" Nikki called out.

"Leave me alone Nikki! I don't need anyone right now!" Hermione shouted as she kept on running.

Nikki stopped. And in her intelligent mind, she understood just what happened. She just made a small nod. She understood what Hermione wanted right now.

She looked behind her and Draco was not far behind. She went near him, he just gave her a very apologetic look.

Nikki paused in front of Draco and gave him a forced grin. And slapped him. Hard.

Hermione managed to get outside the school. And as soon as she was out, she walked slowly towards Hogsmeade and reminisced at thought of what she and Draco had been through every little step she made.

Until she found a small bar in Hogsmeade, and started to drink a lot of Butterbeer X.


-----::-----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----



Hermione just shook her head. She felt like there was a dagger inside her head, she touched it to make sure.

She was sure her head ached so much, than but not as much as her heart.

But she knew she was a very strong and independent girl, she has been all her life. She tried to convince herself, everything is going to be okay. That she can get over him easily. He's not different from the other boys she dated anyway.

Hermione was proud of herself, that she was not a pathetic girl who would cry for weeks or months for a boy.

That's all she did. Cry, run and drink almost a barrel of Butterbeer X.

She smiled to herself, this was a new day, ready to move on, 'Psh that was easy. '

But still, her head was aching so hard, she won't be able to get up this morning. Thank Goodness it was Saturday.

Before she could even think of getting back to sleep, she heard the door creak open.

She bolted up straight, looking around. Did anyone just come in, or get out of the room?

"Hermione..?" A familiar voice said, it's footsteps seemed to get nearer.


"Nikki?!" Hermione asked out loud, wondering if it was her best friend who just went inside.


"Hey... How are you? " Nikki said, with a concerned smile on her face, sitting down on Hermione's bed.

They hugged tight. Without words, and because of their very strong friendship and bonding, Hermione and Nikki knew and understood, that Draco will never be a topic ever again, except on other circumstances.

They pulled out from the hug, looking at each other, knowing everything was really going to be okay.


"I'm okay, but I don't think I'll be able to get up this morning. I'll try this afternoon." Hermione replied after hugging Nikki, looking happy to see her best friend again.

"Well if you remember what you did last night, I did try to go after you but-" Nikki started, but Hermione cut her off.

"Alright Nik, I'm really sorry about that. Really, I am.. But you already know how depressed I was about that so I just.." Hermione intoned but Nikki cut her off again.

"Hey, do you remember anything that happened last night?! Because I'm sure I didn't bring you in here... So maybe someone else did! " Nikki asked all of a sudden, she was always like this. cutting her statements and thinking of random stuff.

"I never thought of that.. I thought I made it here myself... Who do you think did bring me back here?" Hermione asked back, also wondering why she woke up almost half-naked.

"I couldn't have been you.. I know you when you're dunk. You sleep and do silly things... So, It could have been a boy.. a girl can't drag you or carry you...." Nikki started in her suspicions and stood up to check the room.

Nikki kept on looking around Hermione's room, looking for 'clues', and stopped walking when noticed something on the couch. She gave Hermione a look before touching it..

"Aha! And a Gryffindor!" Nikki said in enthusiasm as she picked up a Gryffindor scarf. She sniffed the scarf for a smell..

"Oh my God! Do you remember who was in the bar last night?" Nikki asked, her eyes wide.

"No! I didn't look at any of them! Who is it then!?!" Hermione asked, her eyes wider too in suspense.

Nikki threw her the Gryffindor scarf and Hermione caught it in her face. Nikki laughed.

Hermione smelled it... Taking a deep inhale from it, closing her eyes.

"It's..." Hermione started, her heart beating faster. She recognized the smell.. The scent of vanilla and made her feel like her heart do cartwheels. She scanned the back of the scarf to check if it was really his.

And embroidered neatly in Satin Stitch of Gold Thread, were the letters..

HP

"OH MY GOD!!" Hermione squealed as she jumped up and down and up and down on her bed. Nikki smiled at her happy, jumping almost half-naked best friend, looking silly as ever.

"It was him! It was him! It was him!! It was Harry Potter!!!" Hermione squealed out loud, jumping higher in joy. It was him! Her long time crush, Harry Potter! It was him who bought her back to her bed! She wondered what really happened, she wish she knew. But all she cared, it was Harry!

Harry was her crush since she was in first year, and only Nikki knew about that. Hermione was never the obvious type about her crushes. When Harry was around, she appeared to him like she didn't care, but she was always so happy to be around him. They talked and said courteous greetings at each other sometimes, but she never really showed her admiration for Harry. She knew she never outgrew that silly little crush on Harry Potter ever since.

She did have boyfriends but Harry had been her crush since the day she saw him.

"How do you think you ended almost being half-naked!?" Nikki asked out loud, obviously having something in her mind.

Hermione fell of the bed of shock, the side of her body landing first on the ground.

Nikki and Hermione laughed. "What?!" Nikki asked, surprised how Hermione fell down her big queen-sized bed by that alarming question, and eventually helped her up.

"Did you think he did this?!" Hermione asked, her arms gesturing on her almost-exposed chest.

"I don't know. But why would he?! You probably did it yourself..." Nikki teased.

"Oh come on Nik! Just let me imagine his arms on me for once.. " Hermione sighed as Nikki shook her head.

"And look! My boots! My socks! They're neatly arranged beside my bed! I surely couldn't have done that myself!! And my cloak!! It's on the couch! Nikki! Be reasonable! He did this!!" Hermione said, pointing at her examples one at a time, hoping all of this was true.

Nikki laughed at Hermione in disbelief. This girl was the campus heartthrob and she was squealing all around because her favorite crush did all this to her. She wondered what her best friend would do next.

Hermione didn't need to sleep now, She was just energized by the feeling of Harry's presence in her room. She quickly dashed into her bathroom and took a shower.

-----::-----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----::----

"Harry! Mate! Wait up!" Ron called after Harry when he took his last spoon for lunch, and taking a large gulp of orange juice from his goblet, slamming it down, and ran after Harry, his best friend.


Harry paused on his tracks and waited for Ron to catch up, eyeing his best friend in disbelief.

"Hey Harry.. What happened to- Oh wait, I forgot my broom.." Ron laughed weakly and went back to the Great Hall to get his broom as Harry rolled his eyes at him.



Being the Quidditch Captain, and the seeker, Harry had scheduled Quidditch Practice for the Gryffindor Team this afternoon and we wanted to go to the field early. Obviously, Ron wasn't helping on getting him early at the field.



Harry looked around the Great Hall, he still haven't seen Hermione today. He was starting to get worried if she ever recovered from last night.



Since this morning, it didn't get off his mind. her legs, her sleeping figure, her beautiful face, that entrancing kiss, her body in his arms, everything that happened last night... It didn't seem to escape his mind.

He was thankful enough that he got the chance to get back to the Boy's Dorms when he woke up at 4 in the morning. He couldn't imagine what Hermione's reaction would be if she saw him sleeping like a log on her couch, . Or even at least finding out what he really did to her.

And if she did, what would he do? Only Ron, him that bartender and the guy Ron almost strangled knew he was the one who brought her back at Hogwarts alone. He just hoped she would never find out.

"Harry! Sorry about that, Let's Go now. " Ron said as he was running back at Harry again. Harry just gave Ron a toothless grin as they proceeded outside, and onto the Quidditch Field.

Harry and Ron finally made it in the Quidditch Field without uttering a word, and obviously late because the other players were there already. And it wasn't empty at all. Some students were present, probably would want to watch the practice too, some sitting on the grass and some on the benches, just lounging, relaxing, enjoying the beautiful day.


"Hey mate, what's wrong with you? , so seem so silent... And you look happy, but at the same time, really pissed off... Why? What happened last night?" Ron asked as he looked at Harry curiously.


"Nothing much really. Bought her to bed, let her sleep, and... " Harry started to talk but paused.. Thinking twice about telling Ron about the kiss.

"And I left.." Harry lied as he put on his Quidditch robes. Ron didn't look convinced.

"You didn't -do- her!? Aw man! You're such a fat arse!" Ron joked, slapping Harry's back.
"No I didn't! And I don't think anyone should do that to her, taking advantage of her just because she was drunk! That's really wrong Ron! That was a very stupid question!" Harry spat out at Ron, getting pissed off, but feeling a bit guilty about what he said, the irony that but he didn't control himself on kissing her, but hey! At least he didn't -do- her!

"Hey! , calm down mate, you know I was only kidding! I'm sorry, really.." Ron said, honestly guilty. He picked up his broom that he dropped when Harry roared at him

"Fine, Sorry about that too.. I was just.. Just, well you know.." Harry said, taking a deep sigh of relief. Ron smiled and gave him a brotherly hug to make sure they were okay.

Harry made a signal to his teammates and they gathered slowly.

"Okay, everyone here?" Harry started and noticed Hermione wasn't there.

"Mio isn't here." One of their beaters said out loud. Harry just gave him an 'I-know' look.

"Okay, let's start now. The sooner we start, the longer we can practice. We'll start practicing on the bludgers and quaffles for now, Beaters and chasers should all get the chance to... " Harry started but became distracted when he saw that his team members were looking blankly past his shoulder. The boys looked lied their jaws were going to fall.

Harry winced. What could they be looking at? Harry then turned around and saw Hermione.

Mio walked towards them, smiling while talking at Nikki. She wore her Quidditch boots, a short fitting red skirt that were 8 inches above her knee, a tight striped Gryffindor colored top, that exposed her pierced navel, wearing a pair of orange sunglasses, light and sunny looking make up, and her hair tied in a tight ponytail, a Gryffindor scarf hanging on her right shoulder. And her very own Firebolt draped on it.

When she passed by the students on the grass, the guys closed their eyes to feel Hermione's scent for the day. Some crouched down to see a better view of her thighs. Some gave her a wolf-whistle.

Everyone in the field was looking at her by now. Harry couldn't help but almost drool himself. What that girl going to Quidditch Practice or model for The Firebolt?

"Hi guys. Sorry I'm late. I slept late last night... " Hermione greeted her team mates, glancing at Harry.

"Hi Hermione..." all of the guys answered dreamily. Hermione just winked at them.


"Yeah, we know what you were doing last night Miss Granger, you are very well excused for your rambunctious behavior last night. " Harry suddenly snapped at her.

He didn't know why he said that but he thinks it had something to do about the kiss.

She made him feel something different and it bothered him too much. It was her fault.

"Excuse me?" Hermione raised her voice, as well as her eyebrows at Harry. Harry didn't look so taken back by what he said.

Harry didn't reply, looking so arrogant.

"Well, I found out you helped me out last night..." Hermione started and took off the Gryffindor scarf from her shoulder and handed it to him, exposing the embroidered HP on it.

Ron didn't look surprised but the other team mates gasped. What really did happen last night?

Harry wanted to curse Madam Malkin's Robes Shop that very moment for putting in HP on that scarf. Such obvious evidence.

Harry was speechless. For the first time in an argument, he was speechless, he was guilty. He can't deny it. It was his. Nobody else in Gryffindor had HP as their initials. 'Maybe she found out I kissed her. Maybe she still remembers what happened and she'll make a fool out of me because I kissed her when she was drunk! And she's pretending not to know! And she's going to embarass me!!'

"So, I just wanted to thank you.." Hermione said, smiling a bit at Harry. The team mates looked at Harry for a reply.

"Well you really shouldn't have drank too much of what you can't handle next time Miss Granger ! So nobody else has to do some more responsibility of taking you back, being guilty if ever they left you drunk and not being able to take care of yourself" Harry answered stubbornly, not wanting to break his first reaction, snatching his scarf off Hermione's hands.


"What the-" Hermione was shocked with Harry's arrogant reaction. Everyone else who heard was also shocked with Harry's response.

"You don't need to be rude Harry Potter. Just because you think you're so cool, that doesn't mean you can be such an arse around everybody, especially ME." Hermione glared at him, darting her eyes directly to his emerald colored eyes. Hermione wanted to smile for herself. This was a really nice and unsuspecting way to look directly into his beautiful eyes, pretending to be angry but her insides wanted to melt.


Harry glared back at her. That was ever the first time he really did look deep into her eyes. He felt angry for the words she spat out but he suddenly felt warm and fuzzy when he looked into her Hazel brown eyes. He felt the same strange feeling when he kissed her.


They glared at each other for a couple more seconds. Hermione's glare was very sharp, as if she stabbed him. Harry felt like he was stabbed in the heart. Her eyes pierced too deeply into his, he felt the strange feeling grow.


Harry didn't want to be obvious that he desperately needed to blink and look away. So he started to speak.

"What do you exactly mean , Especially You?! Do you really think you always have to be given special treatment from everybody because you're the so-called Gryffindor Princess?" Harry spat out, not knowing where those words came from, but he was sure he didn't mean those.


"You just think you're better than anyone of us Harry, that's why you won't even accept a heartfelt-given-gratitude-of-gratefulness! That's simply very unreasonable!" Hermione spat back, having no more control over her choice of words.

"I do not!" Harry said in defense, his eyebrows furrowing.
"You do to! Well I'll make you see what I can do. Maybe if you're given a sense of humility you can realize that you will let your pride melt for a while, and maybe you'll realize that you didn't need to get so grumpy because I said thanks! " Hermione said, not giving Harry a chance to answer.

"I bet I can even catch a snitch better than you can!" Hermione said, poking him on the chest, with a huge grin on her face. Harry looked taken aback, he now regreted saying those words earlier.

Everybody else who was listening made an 'Ooohhh'. They knew Harry was the best seeker ever in Hogwarts. He was a seeker ever since he was in first year. Hermione was a chaser but they didn't know her ability of being a seeker.

"You're challenging me Granger!?" Harry asked back, affected by the taunt of the crowd.

"What do you think!?" Hermione said, her face relaxed and raised her eyebrows suggestively.

Harry chuckled. "You must be kidding"

"Oh I'm not. Tell me what you get if you win."

"If I win you will leave me alone and forget what happened." Harry said, he didn't know he didn't mean what he said, since he knew last night won't be easy to forget and he knew that since last night, his admiration for her started.

The crowd gave out another 'Oooohhhh...'.

"And If I win, you will be my slave for 7 days." Hermione replied coolly.

"Bring it on.." Harry said with a smug expression. But three seconds after, his head tilted to the side in disbelief in just what he got himself into.

"The crowd will be my witness, if you break your word, they'll know what to do, right boys? " Hermione said to Harry while winking at the boys. Hermione's admirers gave her a very agreeing nod.

"This is a wizard's word, you're bound for eternity.." Hermione said, offering him to shake her hand. Hermione knew some stuff about that wandless magic.

Harry took her handshake and as soon as he did, he felt something different again, it seemed to send sparks back into his brain.

It was probably because of the 'Wizard's Word Bond' . Harry knew if he broke it, there will be consequences, and he took the chance.

"Mio! Mio! Mio! Mio!!" The boys started to cheer for Hermione. Hermione grinned before she mounted her broom, and blew a flying kiss at them. They all 'catched' it.

Harry rolled his eyes. He knew he was very foolish to say his part of the bet, because he was very confident he was going to win. Now after this he sure was not going to be her slave for a whole week, so he thought he'd just suffer that Hermione will just leave him alone from today.

"Alright, Miss Granger will be my opponent seeker for today's practice. And you will divide yourselves into two opposite teams also." Harry said out loud and the players nodded in agreement.

The Gryffindor Quidditch team slowly mounted their brooms and took their positions, and flew feets above the ground.

The quaffle was released. And the game began.

The chasers and beaters started to chase the quaffle, while Harry and Hermione, stayed where they are, eyeing the field for the Golden Snitch.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other the same time. They exchanged looks.

Hermione looked away and saw something glinting at the end of the other field.

Before she moved, she looked at Harry and poked her tongue out playfully and zoomed her broom to the direction of the Snitch.

Harry saw Hermione dive down to the other end of the field and saw saw something glinting, and he wheeled around to follow Hermione.

Hermione could see at the corner of her eye that Harry was behind her. She quickened her speed but turned when the Snitch changed direction, then she shot past Harry.

Harry was confused. Hermione just went the other way, he couldn't see the snitch but he was sure Hermione was following it.

"Mio! Mio! Mio! Mio!" The boys were still cheering for Hermione.

Harry noticed his teammates shooting and blocking the Quaffles themselves, minding their own practice.

Hermione now started to circle the field. She probably lost it.

Harry stayed where he was and he sharpened his sight to look for the snitch. He saw it glinting and zoomed around the end of the stadium.

Hermione probably saw it too because she was after it.

They had the same speed, and so they were zooming, side by side. Hermione looked at Harry for a moment, a smug on her face. Harry glared at her.

They noticed a bludger coming at them and they separated as it passed by them.

Harry head Hermione let out a sigh of relief and leaned forward to go faster.

Hermione still managed to catch up.

The snitch took another turn and both of them did flips on their broom to turn around.

Harry and Hermione were still flying side by side, Harry and Hermione exchanged places of being ahead by inches.

They were now very close to the Snitch, both of them reached their arms for it. Their hands were inches apart from each others.

Harry almost got hand of the snitch but he felt himself get knocked off by Hermione, who also fell down her broom.

Both of their Firebolts dropped on the ground and the players stopped playing to look.

They rolled on top of each other on the ground, until they stopped, Hermione on top of Harry.

They looked at each other for a while. They just realized the position they were in, Hermione's chest was pressed on his. Their torsos almost rubbed on each other as they tried to move.

Hermione gave Harry a small smile, and showed him the Golden Snitch , pressed between her fingers. Harry dropped his jaws in disbelief. Hermione probably jumped off her broom just to catch the snitch and caused them to fall down.

"See you at my room at 8.30 tomorrow..." Hermione said, grinning mischeivously. Harry couldn't answer back, he wasn't sure what to do, push her off or let her be. He was nervous if Hermione could feel his tensing under her.

Hermione's face went near his, Harry stiffened.

"My Slave.." Hermione whispered hoarsely in his ear and moved away.

Before Hermione could stand up, the crowd of boys lifter her up and cheered for her for winning.

Harry just looked at her while being raised in the air in disbelief.
