Chapter 8: Qudditch Tryouts

Hermione walked into the Great Hall the next morning. She glanced over at the Slytherin table and didnt see Draco. He's prbably still sleeping she thought. She sat down at the Gryffindor table across from Harry and Ron.

"Morning 'Mione," Harry said cheerfully.

"Morning," She replied with a half hearted smile.

"How was detention?" Ron asked while piking his plate with food.

"It was absalutly great compared to what happend after it on the way back to my common room."

"What! Nothing can be worse than detention with Snape," Ron declared.

"You want to bet?"

"Yes."

"Fine." She told Ron and Harry what happend with Viktor. As soon as she told them that he kissed her Ron spit his pumpkin juice out everywhere. Harry was holding back laughs.

"He...laugh...kissed...laugh...you...laugh," Harry said inbetween laughs.

"We told you he was here because of you," Ron said with a little laugh. Harry was hystarical now and Ron joined him.

"It's not funny you guys," Hermione laughed a little while saying this.

Ginny came running up to the three.

"Harry Potter and Ronald Weasely! Are you two forgetting something?" She aske din a huff.

"No," Ron said still laughing and holding his sthomach.

"It's 10 minutes to 10:00," She said.

"So," Harry replied while banging his fists on the table and laughing.

"Quidditch tryouts start in 10 minutes!" She yelled.

"Oh crap!" Harry yelled. He immediatly stoped laughing grabbed his broom and ran out of the Great Hall.

"Oh bugger," Ron said while running after Harry.

Ginny bid Hermione fairwell and ran after them.

Hermione took one last bite of her toast, drank the rest of her pumpkine juice and ran out the hall. She got to the Quidditch field just in time. She sat in the bleachers on the far left side of the field.

****************************************

Harry, Ron, Ginny, Dean and Seamus sat at a table on the right end of the field. They were looking for two new chasers and 15 students had shown up to the tryouts.

"This is gonns take forever," Ron stated. He was clearly bored.

"Shut up Ron," Ginny snapped. He gave her a -you-just-sounded-like-mom-look.

Harry read off the first name on the list.

"Janell Anderson," He said. A tall and fair looking 6th year walked up.

"Mount your broom. On my mark you will fly to the goals on the other end of the field. Once you get there you will throw your quaffel through the center hoop, then you will fly back to us. While you are flying there will be bludgers flying around at you, other flyers will be blocking you and there will be a goalie blocking the center hoop. You will be judged on how fast and how accurate you acomplish this."

The girl nodded and mounted her broom awaiting Harry's signle.

"Ready...set...GO," He shouted. The firl was off. Halfway through the field on her way back a bludger hit her and knocked her off her broom. Neville, who was one of the flyers, cought her. Neville had changed a lot over the past years. He was very good looking now and he had a smile to die for. He was still kind of clumsy though. The next three students didnt even make it to the goal posts.

The fifth person to tryout was Melinda Hanson a 6th year. She dodged every bludger, did fancy moves to get around the people blocking her and she even threw the quaffel so hard that it went through the hoop and into the bleachers where Hermione was. She completed the whole thing in 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

"Bloody 'ell, she's good," Ron exclamed.

"She's okay," Ginny said with a jealuse look on her face.

Harry stood up and walked over to Melinda.

"Welcome to the team Melinda," Harry said with a smile on his face and shaking her hand.

"Thank you," Melinda replied very politely.

"Thank you," Ginny said mockingly. Dean elbowed her. Dean and Seamus had also changed a lot. They both are very musculer but not over musculer. Dean also had a smile to die for and Seamus had an amazing smile and shockingly beautiful eyes. They still continued to make everyone laugh though.

The rest of the tryouts were pretty funny seeing as how nobody could even finish the course.

The group finally decided on choosing Janell Anderson from 6th year.

*****************************************************

Draco woke up at 12:30. He didnt feel like going down to lunch so he had a house elf bring it to him. He ate in silence thinking about last nights events.

I hope Granger doesnt tell anybody about last night, he thought to himself. Especially Potty and Weasel. Where is Granger anyway? Dieing I hope.*No you dont*; the voice in the back of his head said. How do you know? I never listen to you anyway, remember? Draco argued back.*I know that you like her* I do not.*Do too* No I dont.*Yes you do* Shut up shut up shut up.

Draco started hitting his head. All the sudden he was rudely interupted.

"Oh Drakie! What are you doing?" Pansy squealed.

Draco jumped up.

"Ah. Pansy. How did you get here?"

"The door silly."

"Well duh. But how did you get the password?" Draco was steadely backing away since Pansy was gettin closer.

"Easy, I threatend the portrait," She said matter of factly.

"Oh. Well, what do you want Pansy?"

"I was worried about my Dwakie Wakie." Pansy now had Draco up against a wall and was running her fingers up his chest.

"Well, I'm fine. So you can leave."

"I dont think so Draco," Pansy replied seductively. She went to kiss Draco but he ducked, turned around and was backing up once again. Draco knew that once Pansy got her mind set on something she would never give up until she got it. And right now she wanted Draco.

"Pansy STOP! I told you a million times that I dont like you and I sure as hell dont want you. Now leave me alone!"

Pansy could have cared less about what Draco just said because before he new what was happening, Pansy leaped on him. She knocked him backwards onto the couch and landed on top of him. She started kissing him fiercely.

*************************************************

Hermione was outside the common room door when she heard;

"leave me alone!"

Who on earth is he talking to, she thought.

"Ladyknight," She said and the portrait swung open.

She stopped dead in her tracks and was despperatly trying to hold back laughter. There was Pansy ontop of Draco snogging him. Draco was flailing his arms around while trying toget Pansy off himself.

Hermione laughed a little and decided to help Draco out. She walked over to them. She looked at Draco who's eyes were pleading for help. Hermione rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Pansy," She said but Pansy just ignored her.

"Pansy," She said again. Pansy swated her arm and nicked Hermione's cheek.

"Thats it. PANSY!" Hermione yelled. Pansy stood up and glared at Hermione.

"What is it Mudblood? Cant you see that we," She moved her fingers inbetween Draco and herself,"are in the middle of something?"

"Pansy, I dont care what you were doing but by the looks of it Malfoy was not enjoying himself. So if you would get your sluty no good trashy self out of my common room, I would appreciate it."

Smack! Pansy slapped Hermione.

Draco sat there with his mouth open. Hermione slowly turned her head around twords Pansy holding her face. Hermione gave Pansy a look that would have made you run screaming for your life.

"Nobody talks to me like that Mudblood, nobody," Pansy said through clenched teeth.

Befor Pansy could say or so anything else Hermione lunged at her knocking them both to the ground. Hermione hit Pansy in the face. She was about to hit her again when Draco grabbed her around the waist and picked her up off of Pansy.

"Malfoy, let me go right no," Hermione was kicking her legs and useing her hands to try and pry Draco's arm's off of her waist.

"Noway Granger." Draco gripped her even tighter. She kept trying to loosen Draco's grip but her small delicate hands were no match for his strong muscular arms.

Pansy stood up. She put her fingers on her lip. She looked at the blood on her fingers and lunged at Hermione. Draco quickly turned around so his back was to Pansy.

"Let me at her Draco!" Pansy yelled.

"No Pansy," Draco said sternly while still holding a frantic Hermione. "Just leave." Pansy stared at him.

"NOW!" He yelled at her.

Pansy stormed out. After a minute or two Draco decided that it was safe to let Hermione go.

"Well, that was intense," Draco said with wide eyes.

Hermione glared at him. She than pushed him as hard as she could.

"You jerk!" She yelled at him. She then ran up the stairs and into her room.

"What the hell was that all about?" Draco was extremely confused.
