Chapter VII Chocolate covered strawberries and Quidditch
Draco's POV I woke up to the sunlight, again. Well, at least I was getting used to it. I yawmed and stood up to take a cold shower. Then I go down to the common room to see Hermione curled up in her favorite armchair, wrapped up in a book. Since she was facing away from me, I decided to surprise her. I sneaked up to her. Closer... closer... a little more.... 3.... 2....1... and---
"Morning Draco!"
I jumped back in surprise and ended up landing on my ass.
"Hey! No fair! I was saposto be the one to scare YOU!" I crossed my arms and pretended to pout. She turned around.
"Aww, poor little Draco." she rolled her eyes, but laughed. "Want a strawberry?" she asked, holding up one.
"Sure, why not?" I went up and got a strawberry off the plate. I paused before I put it in my mouth, "You didn't poison this, did you?" She laughed and then gave me an innocent look.
"Now where would you get that idea?" she winked. I looked at her suspiciously and then popped it in my mouth. She took a strawberry and dipped it in a brownish liquid next to the plate of strawberries.
"Is that good?"
She nodded. I took another strawberry and dipped it in the liquid. Mmmm... delish!
"Mmmm! What is this? How did you make it?" I asked, savouring the taste.
"Umm, Draco? That's chocolate. Pretty simple to make. Take a chocolate frog and melt it?" she said slowly as if I was stupid.
My cheeks turned red, "Oh, I knew that..." She laughed.
"Sure you did Draco, sure you did." then she focused her attention back on her book.
I smirked, "So this is how you start off your day? Read a book? On a day with no classes? Come on Hermione! Come outside with me! It's a nice day outside!" Ok, sunny and bright wasn't my kind of weather, but it's perfect for flying!
She sat there quietly, thinking. "Ok, sure! You're right anyways... for once... I'm kinda thinking about going outside myself!" she placed the book on the chair and said, "Accio Broom!" Immediutly, her snowstorm came flying to her. How did she know I wanted to fly?
"Accio broom!" I too said as my broom came to me. We headed toward the huge window in the common room and opened it. Then we kicked off. I stared at Hermione who was playfully doing loop-dee-loops and twirls. Where did she learn how to fly like that?
As if reading my mind she said, "Over the summer, Sirius came over and taught me how to fly and how to play a little Quidditch." Oh...
"Are you good? What position do you like to play?" I asked flying next to her.
"I'm okay at it. I'm not that good. I like to play chaser. No offence to the seeker of course." she smiled. I smiled back. *She has a great smile*
"Wanna play?" I asked.
"Sure, why not?" We headed over to the Quidditch field.
"For now, lets just be chasers and keepers and see who can make the most goals. Got it?" I asked.
"Of course, I'm not stupid you know." she balenced on her broom while giving me the "McGonagall" look.
I burst out laughing, "Ok! Ok! Let me get the quaffle." I sped down to the place where they kept the quidditch supplies and got the quaffle. "Ok! Prepare to lose Hermione!" I shouted. Come on, she can't be that good. "Here, I'll give you a head start." I threw the quaffle to her.
"Are you sure?" she asked uncertainly.
"Of course. You ready? Go!" She shot away, swerving every single one of my attempts to get the quaffle. Finally I gave up trying to get ti and then raced to guard the goals. She swerved left, then right, and was about to throw it, so I blocked that was, but instead she swerved again and shot a goal.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!" she waved her hands in the air in victory.
"Lucky shot." I mumbled. After an hour, the score was 300-150 (A/N- remember, each goal is 10 points), Hermione leading.
*Ok? She says she's "ok" at Quiddich and she ends up winning against ME?! "Ok" my ass!* God, she was good. No not good, great. I loved the look whenever she made a goal. Her eyes were full of joy and triumph. She looked so happy. She wasn't a poor sport too. She always gave a cheer and a genuine smile whenever I made a goal... with much, much difficulty. Suddenly, I feel my stomach growl.
"Ok! Ok! YOU WIN! COME ON, I'M HUNGRY!" I yelled since she was 50 feet away from me.
"Ok!" she yells mack. I put the quaffle back and go up to her.
"Race you to the window." she challenged.
"You're on!" We go fast to the balcony but since she got a newer and faster broom, she won. She waired by the window, which wasn't a good idea. I crashed right into her and we rolled into the common room, me landing on top of her. I could feel my heart beating so fast, I think Hermione could of felt it. I stared deep into her eyes as she stared into mine. Our lips were barely milimeters apart. How simple it could have been if I could just kiss her right then. My lips were burning as if it needed her the touch of her lips for it to cool down. My mind was way out of control. *KISS HER! KISS HER! GODDAMN IT! KISS HER ALREADY!!!* I moved closer and she closed her eyes as I closed mine. Our lips were about to touch----
