You're the One that I want
Chapter 23: Back to the Beginning.
Hermione POV
I week later I walked down to the first Quidditch game since the Winter Ball. This meant that I was being forced to fly around the school on a broomstick to start opening games. I walked into the girls' locker room and changed into a simple red green dress and went to the mirror fixing my hair.
"Well, I see you decided to show up." Cho said from behind.
"Hey Cho." I managed to say.
"So what do you have planned today? A winning party afterwards, or maybe a romantic night at Hogsmeade?" Cho asked.
"Cho, if it could help, I would appreciate if you could cut the sarcasm for today." I said brushing my hair back.
"Sure, fine, whatever. But I have to know something." Cho said.
"And that would be?" I asked.
"How do you manage to fly a broomstick when you haven't even touched one in six years?" Cho asked me.
"I'm not looking forward to it." I answered putting some of the makeup back.
"Well, you could always ask to fly with Harry." Cho pointed out.
"I know I would be fine with Harry since everything that had happened for my birthday but I don't know. The whole reason I got here early was to see if I could actually fly on my own today." I answered.
"Look, the royal court is going to be doing this every game, even when your precious Gryffindor isn't playing." Cho said again.
"Well, let me go and try it out. I don't have that much time anyway." I stood up and left the room and out into the cool day.
"Hermione!" someone called form behind.
I turned to see Harry running towards me. "Hi honey." I said.
"Hermione, I just talked to Dumbledore. There's been a change in plans." Harry said.
"And In change you mean I don't have to fly?" I asked hoping it was the truth.
"Well, yes and no. The couples are flying together." Harry answered.
"Perfect. I mean I have no problem flying with you." I smiled.
"Would you mind telling Cho in some way. And by the way you look beautiful." Harry said.
"Oh thanks Harry, you better go and change. And don't worry I will tell Cho." I said and went back into the dressing room.
"Don't tell me your done already." Cho said as I entered.
"Even better. Harry came to tell me and you that you will be flying with Roger and I will be flying with Harry." I said.
"Well I guess that does make sense to pair us up." Cho said.
"I guess I better finish up." I said heading to my accessory bag.
"Oh, are you going for the snowflakes again or are you going to try something different?" Cho asked.
"I got matching emeralds for the dress." I answered. "But I am glad for you that you liked the snowflakes on me."
"Oh your welcome." Cho said. "But I really have to ask for your opinion."
"Sure, what is it?" I asked.
"Do you really think red looks good on me? I mean I thought I was always a green type but I have been trying new things lately. What do you think?" Cho asked.
"Red is your color don't worry." I answered her.
"Thanks, and good luck today against Slytherin." Cho said and left.
I quickly put in the emerald studs and strapped the necklace around my neck. I walked back out to find Harry waiting for me in his Quidditch uniform.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said as Harry grabbed his broom in one hand and my hand in the other.
"By the way, Ron came by to say thanks for the amazing plan you came up with to get them back together. It was about time as well." Harry said.
"Well I wanted some sleep. I mean I was getting sick of Lavender crying her sleep." I said as we came up to the field. "Is this what it feels like before every game?" I asked.
"What? Butterflies? Nerves? Yeah, but it gets better when you fly out, you hear the people cheer for you. It's a great feeling." Harry said.
I looked over into his eyes and saw him look down at me. His hand squeezed mine a little as he looked back at me.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine." Harry said.
"I hope so." I said.
"Alright everyone. Mount up, Jordan will be introducing you any moment." Dumbledore said appearing from the stadium.
Harry mounted first and then I got on behind him and grabbed tight.
"Did I ever mention that I hate flying?" I said in Harry's ear.
"Don't worry so much." Harry said.
"And now, to start the game, here is our royal court!" I heard Jordan say over the roaring crowd.
"Alright everyone, just slowly circle the bottom of the field like I have said before and Go!" Dumbledore said again.
I grabbed tight as Harry zoomed into the bright sunlight and surrounding us by the entire student body.
"Your King and Queen, Roger Davis and Miss Cho Chang!" Jordan boomed.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw another broom carrying Cho and Rodger fly up and around the field.
"Harry don't you dare go so fast!" I yelled at him.
"Common Hermione, you can't wave if you hands are stuck around my waist." Harry responded.
"And your prince and princess, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger!" Jordan said again.
Harry flew higher and flew around the Gyrffindor end of the field. I heard shouts and chants form the crowd as I opened my eyes and saw Parvati and Lavender in the front row.
I loosened my right arm and started to wave to the crowd.
"Now welcome the Slytherin team onto the field." Jordan shouted again.
I looked over and saw 9 people-wearing solver and green robes walk onto the field.
"And Gryffindor!" Jordan said more pleased with himself.
On the other side, 8 players wearing the scarlet and gold robes emerged onto the field.
"Will our King, Queen, and Princess, seeing as Harry has to win another game, please come up to their seating area." Jordan said.
Harry flew even higher to the teachers seating area. I quickly planted my feet onto the wooden bench and looked back up to Harry.
"Good luck." I said as I gave him a quick kiss.
I sat down as Harry flew back to the rest of his team.
"See, that didn't go so bad." Cho said.
"I guess." I answered
The whistle blew and the game began. Players zoomed everywhere around the field. Blurs surrounded my vision of green and scarlet.
"Katie Bell has the quaffle and is heading towards the Slytherin end." Jordan said. I looked straight up and found Harry circling the field above me.
"And Katie scores, 10 to nothing Gryffindor." Jordan said.
"It won't last for too long mudblood. I'll kill your fantasy world apart." I heard from the field. I looked over and saw Draco hovering in front of me.
"Leave her alone, Malfoy!" Harry called from above.
"Shut up Potter!" Malfoy spat back at him.
Within a split second is when I saw the Golden Snitch hover right below Draco. Harry must have seen it as well on a count of he shot straight after it. Draco flew back from Harry's speed.
"And just look at Potter go!" Jordan motioned.
I watched as Harry do amazing stunts to get closer to the snitch. I watched as he kicked Draco out of the way. I watched as he wrapped his fingers around the golden ball. Ron never crossed my mind.
I stood with the rest of the teachers to my right and with Cho and Roger as Harry made his victory lap. As Harry passed me for the second time he slowed down. Though the roaring crowd I saw his lips move, telling me to hope onto the back of his broom.
I held tight as we made our way down to the center of the field.
"Congratulations Harry." I said as soon as we reached the bottom.
"Thank you darling. Hold this for me will you, I think I am about to be squashed to death." Harry said holding out the Golden Snitch and dropping it into one of my hands as the rest of the Gyrffindor team tackled him to the floor.
"Hermione!" I heard my name being called. I looked around and saw Ron running towards me.
"Ron!" I shouted back.
"I just needed to thank you about the whole Lavender situation. You can't imagine how happy I am." Ron said.
"Anytime, what are friends for?" I responded.
Ron pulled me into a bear hug and held me tight. "OK Ron I think you made your point.
"Hermione, get over here!" Harry called for me once more.
"Coming Harry." I said detaching myself from Ron and making my way towards Harry.
"What?" I asked.
"Well, Katie was just wondering here, Hermione look out!" Harry finished.
"Harry?" I asked. But Harry pushed me to the side as the cast of red light barely hit me.
"Cathoria!" Draco shouted again. The same red light came back at me. This time I saw it hit my chest flying me whole body back.
Harry POV
"HERMIONE!" I shouted.
Hermione's body hit the hard earth with a thud, her emerald dress following after her.
I ran towards her body and knelt down by her head, eyes closed.
"Hermione." I said. The rest of the team gathered around me and I heard a shrill cry of laughter. Draco Malfoy was laughing at this in amusement.
"Can it Malfoy!" Ron got to it before I could.
"Move Weasley." Draco demanded.
"What did you do to her?" I asked.
"She's in a deep sleep. The cure's not found yet." Draco said though the laughter of himself and the other Slytherins.
"Why would you do that to you when she has done of no harm to you?" I shouted at him.
Malfoy didn't answer me; he just continued to laugh at the sight of Hermione's body. I turned back to Hermione, her eyes were closed and her chest was still moving up and down.
"You'll pay for this Malfoy!" Ron yelled.
"Ron No!" I yelled at him.
But it was too late as Ron's fist made contact with Malfoy's stomach. Malfoy too a swing at him and then both teams started to go at it.
I pulled my wand out. "Accio Firebolt." I said and my broom came flying towards me. I mounted and pulled Hermione up, holding her in one hand close to me and holding my broom in the other. I kicked hard from the ground and the pitch became smaller and smaller.
The ground became larger as I descended. I hit the grass and looked around my area, placing Hermione down on a larger rock underneath a nearby tree.
"Hermione, please wake up." I said like it was just all a dream.
Why did this have to happen to me? Today of all days? I let my firebolt fall to the ground and held one of her hands into one of mine. I bushed her hair back form her face, pushing the tiara back off her hair.
"Please Hermione." I said again.
I kneeled down and gently kissed her lips. Then she sat up bold right.
"Harry no!" Hermione shouted.
"Hermione, what happened?" I asked.
Hermione looked over at me, still breathing heavy. She put her head in her face and started crying.
"Hermione what's wrong?" I asked again.
"I, I saw him, in my head." Hermione said though tears.
"Who?" I asked.
"V, Voldemort." Hermione said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I saw Voldemort in my head." Hermione said pulled her head away from her face showing smeared makeup. "He talked to me." Hermione continued on.
"What did he tell you?" I asked, fury flowing though me.
"He, he said, your fate will be the same. That I will suffer, that I would die along side you." Hermione said. "I yelled at him, saying that he would never kill neither you or me. He laughed, a cruel high-pitched laugh. He said no have no idea."
"What else happened?" I asked.
"I shouted no at him over and over, he just continued laughing. He stopped and moved aside, behold his fate he told me. That's when I saw you in chains, being, being." Hermione cut off by cries again.
"Hermione, tell me what happened." I said grabbing her hand.
"He was torturing you." Hermione said. "I got scared and called your name over and over, but you didn't hear me, and then I woke up. Harry I was so scared."
"Oh Hermione, you know that that will never happen." I said.
"Yeah, but it was so realistic. I was so scared. I couldn't help you or anything." Hermione said though tears again.
I looked around wondering if it would all come true, suddenly realizing this was the same spot of our first date.
And a song, to end the first story of this 2-story adventure.
"Hands Down"
Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.
My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.
The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...
so we can get some.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.
Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.
