..;.. Chapter 9..;..
It was cold this morning. Harry was sitting outside on a bench wrapped in a Gryffindor scarf, at the quidditch field waiting for the try-out people to arrive. His whole team was already there. Ron ignored him and gave him an evil eye quite a few times. The raven-haired boy was anxious for try-outs. He wanted to see Hermione's improvements. Knowing her, she would plan out all her techniques.
Rosy Calendar, a third year, was doing a horrible job trying to hit the ball with out getting a huge lump on her eye. But Harry realized it was a big mole. Garret Andrews was pretty OK. He tried out last year also, it seemed he improved from his first year. He was on the list of course. Next was Kenny Anderson, who had wild blonde hair and bluish-white eyes. Harry had over heard Lavender and Parvati talking about him. Seemed every girl in school liked him. Kenny was in all his classes, and they got along pretty well. Seems that Americans were pretty dang funny. It turned out he was tremendous! Now the emerald-eyed boy began to worry Hermione wouldn't make the team. Kenny was a fabulous beater! He would've tried out last year, but he was still at an American wizarding school. His family just moved. After some crappy trys and some awesome ones, Hermione came next and last.
Hermione's reddish eyes turned a pale color of walnut brown. She was obviously nervous. Now that wasn't like Hermione.
" Hello Hermione! I'm glad you made it!" Harry exclaimed. " Wouldn't miss it..." Hermione said nervously. " Don't be so nervous 'Mione. It will be fun! Just concentrate!" Harry grinned. He saw Hermione's eyes shift quickly somewhere and back to him in a swift movement. " It's Kenny, he's really good. Oh well, lets get this sh-show on the road. Or in this case the air. Haha-ha-haha." Hermione said quickly. Harry laughed. " Well have fun! Now show me what you've got!" Hermione took off her robes to feel the refreshing chilling air showing her strong muscular arms. She got on the broom and flew up quickly. Harry released the bludger only to find Hermione gracefully but forcefully in a clean-cut way, hit the bludger. Harry let out two bludgers. She made it again. Hermione made to 13 bludgers, Kenny's was 14. " Well Hermione! It seems you have a very close score to Kenny! Now all you have to do is beat his score on the obstacle course." Harry said hopefully. " Ok." Hermione replied. She got back onto the broom and sped towards the course.
Harry looked around to see everyone's amazed faces. Then something caught his attention. A flash of silver caught his attention as he saw a boy sitting on a bench across the field writing in a notebook.
" Malfoy" Harry growled. He ran over to the other side of the field with one eye on Hermione, the other on the snake. Harry reached Malfoy at a quick pace. " Malfoy! What are you doing at the try-outs? Copying moves? Cheating?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow. " Not really." He said coolly.
" Then why the heck are you here?" Harry snarled. He loathed Malfoy. " Just...to watch, but If I'm not welcomed..." " Well, you're not!" " Fine, fine, don't lose your pants Potter." Malfoy walked away holding onto something on his chained necklace. XXXX Harry walked back to see the last maneuvers Hermione did. She improved a lot! Harry walked up to Hermione shook hands with her and said, " Welcome to the team!" Kenny looked a little disappointed but walked up to Harry anyway. " Well the best man, or Woman I should say, won. You know, the beater position wasn't my first choice. I used to be a seeker." And with that, Kenny left. Something just dawned on Harry. Kenny liked Quidditch, He knew him well, and he was a seeker. Oh no, another competitor.

Weeks past and Hermione felt really good about making the team. The only part she didn't like was Harry flirting with her all the time. She knew he liked her because of what Ron said. Hermione only liked Harry as a friend, and him flirting with her kind of creeped her out. Whenever Hermione would go in her common room, Draco was there. Now that she knew the REAL him, he was actually quite funny. They would always talk at night until they grew tired, and he would make Hermione burst into hysterical fits of laughter. Draco wasn't mean anymore, he kept his word, and Hermione kept her ring. Hermione and Draco became good friends, and they even sat next to each other during meals. Obviously, some one thought there was something going on.
" Hello Draco. How are you this fine evening?" Pansy smiled seductively, putting her right leg over her left leg to show some cleavage.
Draco rolled his eyes and smirked at Hermione, who was sitting next to him in Her quidditch robes and equipment. " OH DEAR PANSY! Where WOULD I be with out YOU?" Draco exaggerated in a sarcastic voice. Hermione giggled.
" I know." Said Pansy. " With Mudbloods."
Draco's teasing smirk went away into a mean sneer. " What are you implying pug-face?"
Pansy gasped and hid tears. " I'm implying your hanging out with people you are going to hurt later."
It was Hermione's turn to gasp. " Wh-what?"
Draco panicked. " I'm never going to hurt Hermione. She's my partner as the head girl, and she's my friend!"
" I KNEW IT!" Pansy shrieked. " You ARE turning soft!"
Draco sighed. " I am."
" You're turning too confident. You act like an idiotic Gryffindor! I'll be back Draco. And you'll want me when it's time. Have fun with your girlfriend while you can! " Pansy yelled as she began to leave.
Hermione grabbed her arm swiftly. " I want you to apologize for your rude behavior Miss. Parkinson."
Pansy looked down at her and spat at Hermione's foot. " You think I'M going to bow down to a Mudblood?"
Hermione raised her bat. " Don't forget, I'm a beater, there's a reason I have that name Parkinson I could MAKE you bow down. But I do believe you need to apologize to myself and the head boy."
Pansy hesitated. " Fine then Granger, I'm sorry. But this isn't the last you've heard of me."
" I don't doubt that." Hermione said as Pansy walked away. " When I hear you're in Azkaban prison."
Draco smiled at her. " That was awesome! You told her! I've been trying to do that for 6 years!"
Hermione didn't smile back. " She's lying isn't she?"
Draco raised an eyebrow. " About what?"
" You aren't going to hurt me are you?" Hermione asked.
Draco was taken by surprise by this question. " W-well no. I would never do that."
Hermione glared. " You sounded a little hesitant Malfoy."
" Oh no, back to the last name?"
" Is he planning something?"
" Is who planning something?"
" Don't play dumb. I'm speaking of Voldemort."
" ... Yes." Draco was waiting for Hermione to tell him to tell Dumbledore.
" You are going to be a death eater." Hermione stated.
Draco was surprised again. He would never go to dark magic again. Hermione started to tear up. He realized what Hermione needed. She needed comfort. This time he wrapped his arms around Hermione and held her tightly. One of his hands held out his ring.
" Hermione. I won't become a death eater. Never. I made a promise I would be your friend. I will keep it. I hope you can learn to trust me too. I DO know about Voldemort planning. But I will NOT let him hurt you. I'll even die for you. And that's the truth."
By the end of Draco's speech both of them spilled hot tears on each other, still hugging. Hermione looked up and smiled.
" I believe in you Draco."
" I believe in you Hermione."
Draco leaned down and gave Hermione a quick kiss on the cheek and left Hermione stunned and amused.
Dear Diary,
I'm in love...
