Chapter Eight: Rematch
"Dam it." Dora cursed, as she was the last one to arrive. "Do I have to get all the balls?"
"That was the deal!" Draco said merrily considering he was the first one there, then Hermione then Ray. "Also, since it's a rematch same teams."
"Well, duh!" Ray said a tad annoyed. "But don't get to cocky, we are going to kill you two!"
"Now who's being cocky?" Mione said. "And Draco, I'm serving first."
"Fine, I served last time."
"I'm receiving first!" Ray called and got into position.
"Fine, pick on the small one!" Dora got into the other position.
Hermione's first Serve was fantastic, it was so fast that Ray didn't have time to react before the first points were given to Mione and Draco.
"Fifteen -love!" Mione called out as she gave the next serve. Dora however returned the serve, only to lose it from Draco's sly return.
"Thirty-love!" Mione called out as the ball yet again passed my Ray.
"Ayah!" Dora called out, "Hay Ray, get it together! That or we'll lose!"
"Sorry!"
"Hermione, why don't you do the, you know." And he winked. Mione nodded smirking, and went back to serving.
"Thirty-five-love!" This serve, was a slammer. It hit the ground so fast it left a mark, that, and it hit right below Dora's racket, so she couldn't return it if she wanted.
Smiling, Hermione called out "Forty-love!" and once again the ball passed by Ray. "First round, us!"
"I'm serving next!" Dora said, and Draco passed her a ball.
"Well, you'll have to get it past me."
Dora's serve wasn't as spectacular as Hermione's, for one thing, Draco returned it, for another, Dora and Ray didn't.
"Didn't you two say that you practiced? You are worse then last time we played you!" Draco scorned.
"Did you two practice?" Ray returned.
"Course." Mione replied shocked. "Why wouldn't we?"
"That's the reason Draco."
Next Hermione was receiving, and she slammed it to the blind spot of Ray.
"Love -thirty!" Dora shouted spitefully. And slammed it past Draco.
"YEAH! Fifteen-Thirty!" Dora shouted happily
"Draco!" Hermione walked over to him.
"Shhh.." He bent in closer to her ear. "Let them have their glory, if we don't then we'll feel bad at the end.
"Malfoy having a conscious.call the daily post." Mione awed, then nodded "I understand."
"But remember, it's hard to come back from a duce." Draco warned.
"I know."
Mione let them take the next ball, then Draco hit one past Ray. "You two are losing your touch!" Ray chided.
The two just smirked and continued to hit them past their opponents. " First set us!" Draco called.
They then sat down to eat the lunches Draco made for them, well as far as Dora and Ray thought.
"You two cheated!" Dora called.
"How?" Hermione asked softly.
"You used magic, how else?"
"No we didn't. First of all, no magic over the summer holiday. Second, why would we need to cheat, we are better then you two without trying!"
"Don't you 'no magic' me! Hermione used magic earlier today."
"Yeah and I will get a warning later for it."
"That or they'll just ignore it because my dad's around here, and he can just veto it."
"Yeah, that's the weakling way to do it, no honor!"
"Yeah, but if you Ms. Granger, did anything wrong, your "top marks" friends with potter and bookworm status would save your back!"
"So , I earned those titles, and Harry is my friend because he wants to be, so I can't change it!"
"Yeah, whatever, Mione." And they continued to eat.
After they had finished the delicious lunch, they went back to the game.
The next set, just to prove that they were indeed not cheating, Hermione and Draco gave to Ray and Dora. Now with the score 1-1, Hermione was once again up to serve.
"All right you two, no more nice Mione!" and she waked the ball so hard that there wasn't even time for them to respond to her remark.
"Man Mione! Give us a break will ya?" Ray whined, as for the tenth time the ball flew by her.
"Sorry, but we can't lose." Draco sounded as if he was really in fact sorry. "Maybe you two should forfeit now?" He lost the innocence act with his hopeful, and taunting voice.
"Never!" they both cry.
"Fine. Though, remember, I did give you both the opportunity to back out without having to be embarrassed."
The two girls 'humped' him as Mione gained the first round. Next, Draco was up to receive the serve.
After hitting the balls just so correctly, that the other team couldn't return the hits, Mione and Draco won their second set.
And so the game continued, well at least the final set, where Mione and Draco yet again swabbed the deck with the other two. The game ended D/H - 3 D/R - 1 .
"WE WON!" Draco and Mione tossed their rackets up into the air and caught them as they fell.
"Yeah rub it in our faces why don't you!" Ray chided yet again.
Draco walked over to ray, a gleam in his eye. When he was an inch away from Ray, confusing her beyond all belief, he picked her up and spun her around. "And if we weren't playing you two, the victory would be as great!" he shouted.
Every one, needless to say, was in perfect high spirits. Hermione watched on as Draco, Ray and Dora danced hand in hand round an invisible circle.
'Maybe there is hope for him' she thought with a smile on her face. 'Just may be there is hope for the rest of the wizarding world too.' And she set down her racket and went to join in the dance.
"Thanks for the game everyone." She said once in the circle.
"No prob." They called back. "And thank you, too."
Soon enough though, they had to return home. It was after all four, and Mione's parents needed her to come home early today, for some reason.
After they had dropped off Ray and Dora to their respected houses, Hermione and Draco headed towards theirs, both seeming to nearly burst with unasked questions.
"Mione?" Draco started.
"Yes, Draco?" she responded

An: All right I know I know, its short, but work with me here, the next chapter will be long, really long! And if I didn't stop it here, I'd just confuse you all. And no I didn't want to do that! So if I did, forgive me.
Also, no one has read Raven, that or they aren't reviewing it. Is it that bad? Oh well, I guess I'll just stick with this one. (PS the other one isn't really along the same lines as this one, I like looking at things from all angles.)
Any who, I'll stop and thank my reviewers!
THANKS ALL OF YOU! YOU REALLY ARE SO HELPFUL AND NICE I APPREICATE ALL THAT YOU HAVE SAID IN REGAREDS TO MY STORY!
Well, I'll talk with you later! See ya!
Oh yeah, and reviews are always appreciated! Thanks!
