Hermione had tried her hardest to avoid Malfoy after the kiss in
Hospital. It seemed that wherever she went he was always there.
Because of all the balls the Quidditch matches had started late so they had to be arranged closer together. The weekend's game was Gryffindor Vs Slytherin. She filed out with the rest of the school and sat between Parvati and Lavender.
Harry was Quidditch Captain and still Seeker. Ron was keeper, appointed as chasers were Ginny, Seamus and Frances Houston and appointed beaters were Neville and Andrew Kirke. Dean had decided at last moment that he didn't want to be on the team.
The day was an almost perfect day for the match. The sun was out and clear sky could be seen for miles. Unfortunately there was a strong breeze that maked Hermione shiver. One of Ginny's friends had been appointed as the commentator last year and had had a fit of swearing at the last match of the season when Goyle had hit Ginny over the head with his bat.
Hermione could her Parvati talking with Lavender next to her but she was listening to the commenting.
"Here comes the Gryffindor team; Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Andrew Kirke, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, Frances Houston and Seamus Finnigon." Next to her Parvati and Lavender were screaming at the mentions of Neville and Ron's names.
"And out comes the Slytherin team; Draco Malfoy, Anthony Marsden, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, Thomas Brocklehurst, Millicent Brocklehurst and Kevin Smith."
Hermione watched as a crimson clad team and a green clad team flew onto the pitch. Professor Hooch shouted the countdown and then kicked the equipment box open. Throwing the Quaffle up the game began.
"Houston has the quaffle and she pasts it to Finnigon. Oh, watch it. Finnigon narrowly misses a bludger batted by Goyle."
The noise of the commentating droned out as she watched the game. Harry was next to the Gryffindor posts searching for the snitch and Malfoy was in the middle, doing exactly the same. Ginny was diving under the male Brocklehurst. He noticed a bludger heading his way and then noticed Ginny below him. He whistled over to Goyle who came his way and swung his bat at the oncoming bludger. The bludger headed for Ginny's head, who hadn't noticed it coming. It hit her and she fell off her broom to the ground. The referee stopped the game while Madam Pomfrey transported Ginny to the hospital wing.
The Gryffindors booed as Goyle and Brocklehurst gave each other high fives. At the other end of the pitch Ron was throwing a tantrum and Harry had to calm him down.
As the game continued the score became Slytherin 30 –50 Gryffindor. Hermione then noticed something golden fluttering next to her. As she focused her attention on it she noticed that the rest of Gryffindor hadn't noticed it. It was the Golden Snitch.
She poked Parvati in the side to get her attention. She gave her an annoyed look before noticing the winged ball next to her.
"Ohh." By then the entire crowd had noticed it and someone shouted over to Harry where it was. Malfoy heard as well and they both flew over as fast as they could to the Gryffindor stand. Hermione kept her eyes on the snitch watching it move from between the chair to near her face.
Because Malfoy had been nearer then Harry he got there first. As he latched his eyes onto it, he sped towards it. As he reached her he put his hand out. As he closed his hand around it, his fingers grazed her cheek. He stared at her for a moment before raising his hand to signify that he'd got the snitch.
Hermione blushed as his fingers ran down her cheek. He watched his retreating figure going towards his team to celebrate. Parvati and Lavender was looking at her with raised brows, which she just put on her most innocent face to them.
"What?" She asked.
The rest of Gryffindor was booing as the Slytherins hoisted the blonde seeker onto their shoulders, carrying him towards the castle. She followed the crowd to a disgruntled Quidditch team. Ron was literally fuming from his eyes and Harry was shaking his head, muttering to himself. She kept with the crowd until she got to the Hospital Wing. She'd already been in once for her weekly check but now she was here to check on Ginny.
Hermione found her on one of the beds near the end. Her hair had been plaited in to two, so it was easier to get to the wound. A bandage was wrapped around the crown of her head were it had been struck. Madam Pomfrey came out of the storage cupboard, her arms full with different potions and spell books.
"Hello Miss Granger. I wasn't expecting to see you again today." She looked at her with confusion. Hermione smiled.
"I'm just here to see Ginny, Madam." The medi-witch nodded and came over to Ginny's bed.
"Will she be alright?" Hermione asked, eyeing the potions Madam Pomfrey was slipping down Ginny's throat.
"Yes. She's in a coma at the moment. It might last for at least a month or two by the damage the bludger caused to the front of her brain, but I'll be able to treat that." She added, watching Hermione's eyes go wide with worry.
Hermione stayed with Ginny for as long as possible, trying to keep away from her head rooms, knowing that Draco would probably be there smirking in her face or even coming on to her. Finally Madam Pomfrey had sent her away saying that staying up to late would make her tired and being pregnant didn't help at all.
She entered the Head Room and looked around. Malfoys door was closed and it seemed like he hadn't been in. She slipped through her door and got ready for bed. She got in the covers and fell asleep. She didn't hear someone come into her room and fall asleep on her floor.
