Chapter 23:The long awaited Quidditch Match!

Hermione had a rough three days. Draco wouldn't let her kiss him at all!! Finally the third day, and the day of the quidditch match, came and Hermione woke up early, knowing that Draco and his team, the same with Gryffindor team, would be eating breakfast in the great hall. She dressed, before any of the other girls (other than Ginny and the other quidditch team members). She walked out of the dungeon and ran up to the great hall. She entered to see the two teams at their tables. She walked over to the Gryffindor table. " Hey guys!!" She said cheerfully. " Hey, Mione." Harry said. " Hey." Ginny and Ron said in unison. " So, who do hope will win?" Ginny asked, " It's gonna be hard isn't it? Your house team and friends, playing your boyfriends team." Hermione smiled. " Well, really. I don't care who wins. I'm gonna be happy either way."-Ron rolled his eyes- " It's gonna feel weird. We've been getting along with Draco and now we have to face him in a quidditch match. Damn I ain't ready for this!" Hermione smiled and put her hand on Harry's shoulder. " It'll be alright! We'll manage! Now, I've got to go and wish Draco's team good luck. They're gonna need it!" Ginny laughed as Hermione walked over to Draco's table. Draco saw her coming and stood up. " Hey." He said. Hermione grabbed his hand, and dragged him out of the hall. " HEY! What was that-" But Draco didn't get to finish his sentence, because Hermione had pressed her lips against his. " Whoa!" Draco said when they broke apart. " Don't you ever do that again Draco Malfoy!" Hermione said angrily. " Do what?" " Don't ever make me not be able to kiss you again!" " I won't! Chill out!" Draco smiled down at her. ' She looks cute when she's mad.' Draco thought, absentmindedly stroking her hair. " Thank you." " Thank you for what, 'Mione?" Draco asked bewildered. " For thinking I look cute when I'm mad!" Said Hermione as they walked out onto the grounds. She started to laugh as Draco slowly, very slowly actually, remembered that Hermione could read his mind. " Damn telepathy!" He said aloud. Hermione smiled into the cold November air. The wind was blowing ever so slightly and the sky was overcast. She wrapped her scarf tighter around her neck. " You know, It's gonna be hard." " I know, but you'll all survive! Just don't try to kill them!" Hermione said smiling weakly. " I'll try not too. Look, I think it' time for me to go." Draco said, nodding towards the castle entrance. His team mates were watching him and Hermione. Hermione kissed him twice. Once for good bye and twice for good luck. " Good luck." Hermione called as Draco walked over to his team.

Draco walked briskly into the changing rooms. The Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff rooms were separated. He pushed open the door bearing the Slytherin snake and greeted his fellow team members. He changed into his gear and walked back to his team. " Alright. Potter's team is good. I've seen them practice-" " How did you see them practice? Watching with the Mudblood?!" " Yes, actually I was. Now, they're really good, so we're gonna have to see better. Oh, and If I hear anyone calling Hermione Mudblood, you're dead. Let's go!" Draco said, glaring at them all for a moment then, walked through the doors.

Harry and Ron walked into the changing rooms. Ron got into his gear and sat down, waiting for everybody else to hurry up. Finally, they all got dressed and sat down. Harry stood before his team and frowned. " I hope you all know how hard this is for me. I really don't want to go against Dr-Malfoy's team. I understand that you guys must hate him, but somehow he's a friend to me." Harry got that out and continued, " Now, we all need to be careful today. The winds picking up and anything could happen. Alright? Let's go!" Harry said finally and walked rather quickly out of the rooms. " What's wrong with him?" Brittany Aurthors, a 5th year girl, asked Ron. " Think about it, Malfoy"-Ron decided it better to call him Malfoy around fellow Gryffindors-" is Hermione's boyfriend. If we beat him, Hermione might get upset, but if he beats us, she still might be upset. Damn, I wish this were easier!"

Hermione sat in the stands, Ginny sitting on her right, Lavender on her left. She gazed down on the field anxiously. " It's ok Hermione! CHILL OUT!" Ginny said in her ear. Finally Colin Creevey's [I think that's how you spell that dude's last name.] voice boomed through the Quidditch pitch. " WELCOME TO THE FIRST QUIDDITCH MATCH OF THE SEASON! I'M COLIN CREEVEY, YOUR COMENTATOR! NOW! ON TO THE TEAMS! EMERGING AT THE RIGHT IS THE GRYFFINDOR TEAM! THE BEST DAMN-OW! Sorry professor!-POTTER, WEASLEY, AURTHORS, COOPER, MARGIN, TEAGUE, LIACONA! EMERGING AT OUR LEFT IS THE SLYTHERIN TEAM! I'M NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE I MIGHT GET HIT AGAIN! MALFOY, CRABBE, GOYLE, ZABINI, ROSS, ELLIOT, IONETTA!"

Harry took a deep breath and walked forwards to Draco. He shook his hand, " Good luck!" Harry said. " Hope nobody kills us!" Draco said. They moved back, mounted their brooms and awaited Madame Hooch's whistle. The whistle blew and everybody kicked off. The balls were released. The snitch flew off in a speed of 80 MPH. The bludgers automatically went strait for the people closest (September Liacona, and Blaise Zabini). And the quaffle was thrown high into the air, caught by Ionetta. " IONETTA HAS THE QUAFFLE. HE PASES IT TO ELLIOT AND ELLIOT TAKES A SCORE. 10 TO SLYTHERIN!" Draco flew up several more feet and searched the ground for the snitch. The howling wind riffled his already messed up hair. He saw Crabbe slam a bludgers towards Margin, hitting her on the shoulder and knocking her to the ground. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of gold. He looked down and saw the snitch floating feet away from the third Gryffindor goal post. He looked around for Harry. He caught sight of him. He was already speeding for it. Draco urged his broom faster and soon caught up with Harry, who was a couple of feet away from the snitch, which was now trying to flee. Draco urged his broom to go faster. He had the same type of broom as Harry. His 'father' had bought him a Firebolt just 5 months ago. Draco somehow got ahead of Harry and his fingers touched the slick surface of the snitch. Finally he had his fingers caught firmly around it. " AND MALFOY HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH! THE MATCH IS OVER! SLYTHERIN WINS 160 POINTS TO 0!"

Hermione cheered as the rest of the Gryffindors ( except for Ginny) booed at Draco and his team. She ran out of the stands and onto the field. She raced over to him and threw her arms around his neck. He took her in his arms and kissed her as he held the snitch high above his head. Slytherins screaming and yelling and cheering all around them. " Let's go." Draco said finally as they broke apart, Hermione gasping for air. Hermione smiled and clung to him as the sun shone brighter and brighter through the clouds.

Draco took Hermione to his room (He did the separator thingy) and laid her down on the bed. " You were great." She whispered in his ear. "Thank you, but all I did was catch a sphere." Hermione smiled and kissed him. " So, you don't know how much work it takes to do that? I would never have done that!" Hermione said, giggling. They did *cough, cough* you know what, and fell asleep not soon after that.

Hermione smiled brightly as she made her way back to the dormitory the next morning. She approached the door and heard Ginny's voice. "-I can't help it! He likes me, but yet he likes 'Mione!" She complained. " I know! How sad!!" Said Lavender. Hermione stopped and hid behind the entrance. Aparentally, they were the only ones there. " But how do I get him to like me more than her?" Asked a helpless Ginny. " Well.. You could dress sexy for him!" Lavender said, laughing loudly. " LAVENDER! Ugh! Sometimes I thin k you're the pervert." " What?! Me? A pervert? Never! I DATE perverts!" Hermione heard Ginny laugh and bravely walked in. " Hi!" She said brightly, acting as though she had not just heard Ginny asking Lavender how to win Harry. " Hey, Hermione!!! Have a good time last night?" Lavender asked, raising an eyebrow. " Yup! Sure did!" Hermione replied. " Uh...Hermione.. you didn't happen to hear what we were just talking about. did you?" Ginny asked nervously. " Actually.I did." Ginny's eyes opened wide in shock and she glanced from Hermione to Lavender, " oh." Was all the red-head said. " Well. All you have to do, Ginny.Is tell him you lov ehim. Trust me.. it works." Hermione put on her best smile and Ginny smiled back softly. " Thank you, 'Mione!" Ginny bounced out of he dormitory and ran to the Gryffindor common room.

Ginny said the password, ( Honey buns) and entered the Gryffindor common room. She searched around for Harry. No sign of him. She saw Ron, Dean, Neville and the other guys in his dormitory, but no Harry. 'He must be by himself' She thought as she trudged up the stairs. " Harry?" She asked as she opened the 6th year boys door. " huh?" He asked. He was sitting on his bed, staring into the ceiling. " I wanna talk to you." She said, moving over to his bed. " What about?" He replied, still looking at the ceiling. " Harryiloveyou." She said very fast. " What?" He asked, now looking at her. Ginny took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She repeated what she had just said, " Harry..I love you!" She bravely opened her eyes and made the mistake of looking at Harry. He had a misty look in his eyes. " H-harry?" She asked. Ginny was on the brink of tears. " Ginny. I just wanted to tell you that...
