CHAPTER 2- I WILL GET DOWN ON MY KNEES
"Hermione! Earth to Hermione, you there?"
Hermione could hear Ron in the background saying her name over and over again, but she was feeling lost and confused at the same time. How could she be on the Quidditch team? Surely, it was a mistake or something. Hermione eventually noticed that Ron got tired of calling her name, so he grabbed the piece of paper from her hands and started to read.
"Hermione, how could you? All these years and you don't even bother to tell me. How long have you hid this secret from me? What position did you go for?" Hermione could tell Ron was kind of mad for not telling him, but she had no idea how she got on the team in the first place.
"Mione, let's go get our books. School starts tomorrow and I wanna pick up some things. You told me you wanted to get some parchment and a new quill, right? Let's get going!"
Before Ron could ask her any more questions, Ginny had dragged Hermione out of the door with Ron trying to catch up.
Diagon Alley
"Ginny, look look! Come quickly and look. It's the newest edition of A Hogwart's History. I can't believe it's out. I have to get that! Ginny, just look. It's thicker than the one we use at school."
"Are we going to stay here long? You promised me we could go in the Quidditch shop to look at the brooms."
Quidditch. Just hearing the name sent shivers down her back. She could tell Ron was getting grumpy. It would be hard to ignore what he said. He would drag her by her foot, if necessary, to get what he wanted. Hermione had no idea how he persuaded her to go in the first place. Without arguing, she heaved a sigh and told him to lead the way.
Once they arrived, Hermione knew she was going to get bored very easily. Even Ginny left her side and headed over to the Beater section. She was continuing her second year as Beater on the Quidditch team.
"Hermione, come look. Look at these brooms. That Nimbus looks wicked, doesn't it? I'm gonna persuade mom to get me this. Oh great, look who just walked in." Hermione noticed that his voice had changed from his cheery self to a more disgusting tone. She turned around and saw who Ron was looking at- the three Slytherin idiots with Malfoy in the front and Crabbes and Goyle closely behind.
"Father says I can get a new broom if I want. One that's even better than that Potter."
"Isn't it sad, Ron? No matter what broom he gets, he will never beat Harry. Ron laughed, but was interrupted by Malfoy.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the mudblood and her red-haired dog, Weasley. I'm surprised you're actually in here. Did your mom have to sell the house to get you a new broom?"
"Why I oughta…"
"Ron, don't talk to people like him. It's not worth it. You know anyone can ride a broom better than him with their eyes closed."
"Does that include you Mudblood?" He had emphasized the mudblood loudly, so everyone could hear. Hermione's cheek started to turn a different shade. She knew he had got her there. "Can you imagine mudblood on a broom? Potter, Weasley, I'm scared, help, help!" Goyle and Crabbes laughed at that comment. Hermione's cheek were now as red as ever. She was so mad at him, she wanted to punch him like in third year, but she knew what he said was right.
"Oh yeah, I bet she's even better than you." Ron yelled.
"Sure, Weasel. Till that days comes, I will get down on my knees and admit that I was wrong and that this filthy mudblood right here, is better than me."
"Watch her…"
"I doubt it will be any time soon." With that, Malfoy left with his two buddies trailing closely behind him.
Ron looked at Hermione and she looked back. Hermione knew that Ron didn't think she was much of a flyer either, but Ron had still defended her.
"Mione, Ron, why are you guys standing there like that?" Obviously, Ginny didn't witness what had happened. "Let's get going or else mom will start asking us questions why it took so long. We still need to pick up some stuff." With that, Ginny walked out the store.
"Hermione, don't listen to anything what Malfoy said. I bet you can be better than him with a little practice." Hermione smiled at Ron, but she knew no matter how hard she tried, she was never going to get any better. Pushing her thoughts away, Hermione told Ron that they better leave and catch up with Ginny.
So what did you think? At least it was longer than the first chapter. Please review and tell me what you think. I hope it wasn't too boring.
