CHAPTER 5: Slytherin vs. Gryffindor
Quidditch practice started in October and Harry and Ron were stuck co- captaining for the time being until a captain was to be chosen. Katie and Alicia said that they didn't want to be captain at all. "Too much responsibililty" was their excuse.
The new Gryffindor team was really flawless. They flew wonderfully, and there weren't any conflicts, yet. They listened to Ron and Harry, and disregarded all the jeering from the Slytherins. Richard and Charles were the best beaters that they could find to replace Fred and George, now a legend at Hogwarts. The fourth years were thrilled that they even compared to the famous Weasley twins. Ron was dying to tell them that Fred and George wet their beds until they were eight, and were no more of legends than he was, but he was too busy laughing hysterically at the boys.
The chasers were also very good team workers. Renee' was having a little bit of trouble with the Slytherins, and dropped the quaffle a couple of times. Although she made up for it by scoring over 10 goals during the practice session. They could tell that the Slytherins were getting scared. The Gryffindor Quidditch team was about as good now as it was when Harry first began. With a little more practice and training they would be able to defeat any other house team. Gryffindor is back! Thought Harry.
Through the next week Hermione warmed up to Renee' a little bit more. They began studying and doing homework together. Harry secretly hoped Renee' would influence Hermione to loosen up a bit more.
Homework was piling up more as the year moved on. The Halloween feast was approaching, followed by the first Quidditch match of the season. Of course, it would be Gryffindor versus Slytherin. Harry and Ron were working the team as hard as ever. Harry finally understood how Wood felt when he was captain. They were having practices four times a week for the whole month of October, but Harry had to be careful that the practices didn't interfere with his Occlumency lessons. November 1st was sneaking up on them and it wouldn't slow down.
Halloween arrived too quickly. What Harry would give to still have Hermione's time turner. His stomach was a little bit queasy. A lot was resting on today's match and it was up to Harry and Ron to keep things together. At least we're in this together, he thought to himself.
The morning of the match he and Ron woke earlier than usual. They went down to the great Hall hoping that no one was there. They each ate very little because of nerves. He didn't usually react this way to a Quidditch match, but today was unusual, everything was laying upon his shoulders.
As they made their way out to the field in uniform and sat confidently atop their broomsticks, the cat calls and the jeering from the opposite side of the field began. Faintly, Harry heard them, but not so much as he heard his own heart pounding on in his chest. As the quaffle was tossed into the air, Renee' caught it and zoomed off towards the goal. She was about 20 feet from the goal when a Slytherin beater made his way towards her and nearly smacked her in the head. It scared Renee' so badly that she lost control of her broom and let go of the quaffle. The crowd gasped as Katie Bell caught it feet below the rest of the players. Gryffindor fans all across the stadium erupted as she took it to the goal.
"10 points for Gryffindor! Katie Bell makes a great save and takes the quaffle to the goal!" exclaimed the new commentator, Neville Longbottom. Slytherins everywhere suddenly became furious and were yelling very inappropriate things at the Gryffindors.
"Out of my way Potter!" snarled Draco as he flew past Harry. Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he had seen something flash. He turned very suddenly and studied the whole arena for signs of the golden snitch. Then he saw it fluttering somewhere above the Slytherin goal post. He slowly made his way to mid field trying not reveal his discovery to the rest of the players. Then when the time was right, he darted for it. He zoomed past Renee', and then past the Slytherin keeper. He was within its grasp when he felt something push against him. It was Malfoy.
"Not this time Potter," Malfoy yelled as they raced for the snitch. Both opponents had their hands out-reached as far as they would go. The snitch was clearly inches away from Harry's hand when it disappeared. All either of them could see was a flash of gold and it was gone.
By this time, the score was Slytherin 50 Gryffindor 40. Harry had to find the snitch before Malfoy did. Harry was keeping a close eye on Malfoy just incase he saw something that Harry didn't. Suddenly, Harry got an idea from something he had seen at the Quidditch World Cup— The Wronski Feint. He looked at the ground like he had seen something then darted for it, he could see Draco following him. 50 feet... he kept going, 30 feet... he was still headed straight for the ground. The crowd was screaming. Harry was no less than 10 feet away from the ground when he pulled up as fast as he could, and saw to his surprise that Malfoy was no where to be found. He looked up and saw Malfoy flying after something himself. Harry swiftly caught up to him and zoomed under him. His hand was nearly about to grab the snitch. Harry sped up so quickly that Malfoy didn't even know what happened. He lifted his hand in the air to show the whole stadium the golden snitch fluttering lightly in his hand. The Gryfinndors burst into loud cheers.
"And that's it, Harry Potter has just caught the Snitch to ensure the win for Gryffindor!" Neville sounded so excited that Harry could tell he had to hold in his bias enthusiasm as Professor McGonagal eyed him while cheering herself! Ron and Harry flew together down to the ground to meet the rest of the team. Hermione and Hagrid were already down on the field waiting for Renee', Harry, and Ron.
"Congratulations Harry, Ron, Renee'!" cheered a gruff Hagrid.
"Amazing, Harry!" laughed Hermione.
"Thanks!" they all replied.
"I'm ready for a nice nap, what about you?" Harry asked Ron.
"Sounds good to me..." Ron yawned.
"You and I can have a girl's afternoon then!" Renee' told Hermione.
"What?" Hermione asked in a confused manner.
"It's fun, you'll see." Renee' replied. So they all headed up to Gryfindor Tower.
As they made their way back up to Gryffindor Tower, they encountered Malfoy. This time he was escorted by the whole Slytherin Quidditch team though. He was wearing a shiny silver badge on his chest, and as Harry drew closer he could see that it said Slytherin Quidditch Captain in capital letters.
"Admiring my badge?" Malfoy gloated.
"Not quite," Harry retorted.
"I hear you and Weasley are sharing the spot as captain this year," Malfoy smiled, "how quaint of you. Do you share your gold with him too?" At this remark all of the Slytherins began to laugh and Ron's face became very red.
"How's your dad liking Azkaban, Malfoy?" Harry said coolly as if not even affected by Malfoy's comment.
"Don't you dare talk about my father!" Malfoy yelled and walked away.
"Harry, that was nice! I have to handed it to you," said Renee'. "I guess you know how to handle yourself," she laughed. They all decided silently to drop the subject and move on with their afternoon as if nothing had happened.
Harry and Ron went upstairs to their dormitories while Renee' showed Hermione all of her make-up, nail polish, and facial products.
"What do you think the Order is up to now?" asked Ron.
"I'm not sure. I think we should write the Order a letter." Harry replied.
Meanwhile in the girls dormitories, Renee' and Hermione were having some discussions of their own.
"I think I might like Harry," Renee' admitted. "He's really sweet and good looking."she added with a playful smile.
"I am pretty sure he likes you, as well." Hermione offered.
Renee' did Hermione's nails, face, then make-up while Hermione told her everything she knew about Voldemort and the Order.
"And last year, we went to the Department of Mysteries and Harry lost his godfather, Sirius Black, he was so sad. I know he still is, I mean, it's devastating. He's an orphan, but you know about what happened 15 years ago, right? How Harry defeated you-know-who? Well you-know-who is back. Times are hard now, and the Minister of Magic didn't believe us until he saw you-know-who with his own eyes." Hermione explained. She hadn't really had anyone to talk to about the matter because she had been alone with her muggle parents for the whole summer. It was a huge relief to get all of that out.
"Wow, I only knew about Harry and you-know-who. I didn't know about his godfather. How horrible. And Fudge didn't believe you? He didn't believe Dumbledore?" she asked sounding thoroughly interested and shocked.
"No! He didn't believe Dumbledore. Fudge even told him that he couldn't be headmaster last year so they hired this abominable woman, Umbridge, she made life at Hogwarts miserable. I think re-election for Minister of Magic is coming up soon. I wonder who will get the job. They won't keep Fudge after how he reacted to the you-know-who-thing." Hermione said. It wasn't the most intelligent conversation Hermione had ever had, but it was the first girl to girl talk she had ever had. They talked about boys, clothes, adolescent drama and everything else. It was intriguing for her to talk to a girl for once.
As the afternoon ended Renee' and Hermione made their way back to the common room to see Harry and Ron.
"Hello boys!" greeted Renee' cheerfully. "I know introduce to you the new-- improved-- Hermione Granger!" she announced. Hermione stepped out from the corner she had been hiding in and smiled shyly. She turned around once and then took a seat in a chair.
"Wow, Hermione!" Ron stumbled. "You look amazing!" he sounded as if he had just firgured out, for the second time, that Hermione was a female.
"Er...thanks Ron," she replied sounding slightly confused.
"I've got an idea." said Renee', "The next Hogsmeade visit is coming up next weekend and I vote that we go on a double date. Me and Harry and Hermione and Ron!" she proposed.
Ron's ears were turning red as well as Hermione's and Harry's faces. But they all agreed any ways. Harry thought it sounded like fun.
Ok...im working on chapter 6...it should be better than the rest...I hope...email me if u have any comments or advice!!! Thanks for readin homies!!
