Chapter 12
The Quidditch Game Part I
As Hermione walked down the corridor to the Slytherin Common room she thought about all the new tricks she had learned. 'Those will definitely come in handy, but I forget what I wanted to ask them.' She thought.
"I wonder what Draco is going to think." She said out loud to herself.
"Why don't you ask him and find out?" Hermione jumped at the sound of his voice. She hadn't even realized that someone was following her.
"I'll tell you once we get to you room. To many wandering ears around here." Hermione said as she eyed all of the pictures around them that were busy doing other things, which meant that they were listening closely.
"Alright then, shall we?" He said going into a deep mock bow. "Will the lady allow me the pleasure of escorting her to the Slytherin Common room?" Hermione tried not to laugh but was failing miserably.
"Of course you may kind Sir." Hermione replied him and going into a deep curtsy. Her body was shaking with laughter as she tried to repress it.
"You look like you're about to explode so just let it out." Draco said in a serious tone. So she did she laughed at his attempt to chivalry. Draco couldn't stop a smile pulling at the corners of his lips.
"If you're about done." He said this looking at his watch. "We might want to head to the Common room so you con tell me this news of yours." Hermione looked at him and smiled.
"Sounds like a plan." She looked around her at all of the paintings. 'If you ever need a rumour to get around Hogwarts in lightning speed then say it in front of the paintings.' Hermione thought. 'That may come in handy.'
She linked her arms with Draco and they both headed down to the Common room together. On the way down the talked about how they were going to get the stuff Hermione needed from her room with out being detected by the other Gryffindors.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Hermione and Draco wasted no time once they got to the Common room; they said their hellos and headed right up to his room. Draco opened up the door and stepped in. His eyes widened in shock.
He and Hermione had walked in on Ginny and Sean in the middle of what looked to be a very heated make-out session. Sean had Ginny pinned to the wall and her hands were running all over his back and in his hair.
"OH MY GOD! MY VIRGIN EYES HAVE BEEN TAINTED!" Hermione screeched at the top of her lungs. Covering her eyes in mock shock. Ginny and Sean pulled their faces away from each other, but they didn't move from their position on the wall.
"Virgin eyes my ass. You've probably done more X-rated things in front of a MIRROR!" Ginny finished happy with the reaction that she had gotten from Hermione. She had this deer caught in the headlights look plastered to her face.
Hermione was stunned at the words that came out of Ginny's mouth. She looked at Draco who was desperately trying to hold in is laughter. A huge grin broke across her face. "Am I that obvious?"
It was Draco's turn to look like a deer in the headlights. He turned to Hermione. She looked back at him and in true Draco fashion, raised her eyebrow at him. Hermione couldn't take it anymore. She burst out laughing.
"Don't worry Draco I was only kidding." Draco looked relieved. He let out the air he was unconsciously holding.
"Never in front of a mirror." Draco's head whipped up. He stared at her with shock written all over his face. His face changed to one of amusement.
"With the way you act, I'm totally shocked to hear that you haven't." Draco stated calmly. Hermione was about to reply when Ginny cut her off.
"Is there a reason that you two are her or did you just come up hear to create your on X-rated scenes?" Hermione smiled and couldn't wait to tell them.
She opened her mouth then thought it over again and decided that she would wait a little longer to tell them.
"I just thought I'd let you know that I've got all the plans set for tonight." Draco looked to Hermione he knew that there was something else that he wasn't telling them. He'd have to wait until he got her alone to question her about it.
"Well that's good. Now don't we have a Quidditch game to get to?" Sean also could tell that she was hiding something but it wasn't his place to say anything.
"Yeah, we should head down to the field now. Can't let those Gryffindors get there before us." Hermione nodded. She went to Draco's bed where she had left her robes. Both of the guys went to their huge walk in closet and pulled out their own.
"Well let's get to it then." Ginny lead the way out of the room. Both of the girls were very surprised to see that all of Slytherin had gathered in the common room.
"Why is everyone here?" Hermione looked around. Normally on the day of the Quidditch match all of Gryffindor would go down when ever they felt like it. This was way different.
"We always meet before a Quidditch match. It's like tradition." Draco knew that they were the only house that did this so it didn't surprise him that it was usual to Hermione.
"Well what are we waiting for let's go kick some Gryffindor BUTT!" The room erupted in cheers and hoots. Ginny was feeling a little alone since Hermione, Draco and Sean would all be playing Quidditch.
"Hey Ginny!" Ginny whirled around to see some of the girls from her year waving her over. "Good Luck Guys!" Ginny yelled over the noise. Sean blew her a kiss as he headed for the door and Hermione and Draco waved goodbye.
Ginny made her way over to the girls that had called to her just moments before. She was very surprised at the greeting she got.
"Hey Ginny, I'm Lisa and these are my friends Julia and Melissa." The three girls all had brown hair, but each of them had a different colour streaking. One had Blue, another had Pink and the last one had bright orange.
"Nice to meet you." Ginny shook hands with all of them. They were very different here then they were in class. In class they were rude and obnoxious, but here they were very friendly. Apparently it was all of the 5th years and downs job to put Ginny right in the middle of them so that none of the Gryffindors would be able to get to her during the game if they tried.
Hermione was starting to get a little nervous. It must have shown on her face because Draco started to reassure her.
"You're going to be fine. Besides you're a beater, just aim the Bloodgers at the ones you hate the most." This brought a smile to Hermione's lips.
"You always know how to make me feel better don't you?" Hermione questioned him with a large smile on her face.
"Cause I'm the ideal boyfriend for any girl!" Hermione just rolled her eyes and shook her head. 'Something's never change.' Hermione thought.
'And something's do.' Draco's voice echoed through her head. Hermione nearly jumped out of her skin. She looked at Draco who was looking at her with one eyebrow raised. (AN: When these are used it's them talking mentally) Draco's voice rang through her head again.
I Hermione crossed her arms over her chest. Draco just looked at her dumbfounded.
Hermione rolled her eyes and continued walking toward the pitch. Draco smiled at Hermione.
Slytherin reached the pitch before any of the Gryffindors did. She was glad of this because she knew that there was going to be a riot when they saw that she was playing for Slytherin.
"Don't worry Mina we'll protect you." Hermione gave Millicent a playful dirty look. "Who ever said that I needed your protection?" She crossed her arms over her chest with Draco's signature smirk on.
"Would you please get your own facial expressions!" Draco cried form behind Hermione. He didn't really mind her using them, he just liked to bug her. She was becoming more like him everyday. Or more like her true self he should say.
"But they look so much better on me!" Hermione countered. Draco opened his mouth to reply but Millicent cut him off.
"Look we're here." Draco hadn't noticed that they had made it to the pitch. "See you in a few." He said to Hermione then turned and went into the Guys dressing room.
Hermione followed the other girls into the dressing room. They didn't do much talking because they were all focused on the upcoming match. This one would have a lot more fire then the other's because Hermione was now on the team.
Each of the girls in their own way made a silent promise that they would defend their friend in anyway they could.
Hermione went to the closet to get her broom, only to find that a SliverLighting had replaced it. 'That can't be mine.' Hermione let her eyes wander across the broom.
They stopped on a note tied to the shaft of the broom. She picked it up and read it. Thought you should have one of the best brooms, since you're my girl. Luv Draco P.S. I had them put your name on it.
Hermione looked back to the shaft to see 'Hermione' written in sliver lettering. She squealed in delight. These were the best brooms on the market and would be for a long time.
Millicent came up behind her. "Girls check this out. Draco bought Hermione a SliverLighting." The girls gathered round to admire the broom. "He has one just like it you know. Their great for free falling."
"You know I never showed Draco that I could free fall." A smile came to her lips. 'Must have forgotten about it.' Hermione grabbed the broom from the closet. It wasn't very heavy and the grips fit perfectly into her hands.
"Ready to Rock and Roll?" Millicent broke Hermione out of her thoughts. 'It's now or never.' She followed the girls to that wooden shack thing that the players fly out of.
Draco turned and addressed the team. "Okay we're stronger today because we have Hermione on the team." Draco sent her a wink. "But we are going to have to a lot more careful because of it." The whole team nodded.
"AND HERE COMES SLYTHERIN!" The wooden gate opened before them. Hermione took a deep breath and then mounted her broom. This was it. She took off out on to the pitch. No one seemed to notice. Only Slytherin was watching them do warm up laps. Everyone else was waiting for Gryffindor to come out.
"AND NOW THE GREAT GRYFFINDOR!" Hermione just shook her head. Since it was always a Gryffindor doing the play-by-play it didn't surprise her that they would get a grander introduction.
"ALL PLAYERS TAKE YOUR POSITIONS!" Madame Hooch called over the noise of the crowd. Hermione flew down to her position.
"HERMIONE?" She looked up to see Ron staring at her flabbergasted. She just looked up at him and smiled.
"Yes Ron?" She replied calmly. He turned bright red as he tried to make sense of the whole matter. Ron looked to Madame Hooch for some help on the matter.
"Is there a problem Mr. Weasley?" When Draco had come to her with the papers she had been very surprised to say the least. Hermione had never been a good flyer, but Draco had explained the whole situation to her. In the end she was very happy that Hermione was playing for someone. Even if it was Slytherin.
"Madame Hooch Hermione can't play for Slytherin. She's in Gryffindor." Harry had finally snapped out of the trance he was in. He couldn't believe his eyes!! Prof. McGonagall along with Prof. Snape were now heading to the center of the field.
"I'm surprised that you even noticed." For the first time that Hermione had gotten in a argument at Hogwarts she didn't feel alone.
The entire Slytherin team was beside her. All of them yelling insults and defending Hermione. She had never felt like this at all when she was in Gryffindor. She promised that she wouldn't let them down.
"Hermione what on earth are you doing?" Prof. McGonagall was utterly shocked to see that her favourite student was not only dressed in Slytherin clothes, but also justifying her playing for them.
"I'm positive that I'm trying to play Quidditch." Hermione still thought highly of McGonagall but she could be quite daft at sometimes.
"Minerva I believe that all the papers are in order." He glanced at Madame Hooch who nodded to him. "Then there is nothing more to be said." With that he walked off the field.
McGonagall sent a confused glance to Hermione before she followed Snape's lead. Hermione was no longer nervous since she had thought the Gryffindors would put up a bigger fight for her but they just shrugged it off thinking that she still couldn't even fly.
I Hermione sent her thoughts to Draco.
Draco was disappointed that they hadn't put up that big of a fight. It made him even more angry then if they had put up a fight.
Hermione went to her starting position and got ready for the release of the quaffle.
