CHAPTER 3- I NEED ANSWERS RIGHT NOW

The next morning seemed to take forever for it to arrive. Hermione was still shocked getting the Quidditch uniform, she barely had any sleep at all. As soon as the sun was up, she quickly got out of her bed and packed any belongings that weren't packed last night. She noticed that a pile of books on one of the tables she and Ginny were sharing. She must have forgotten about them after her trip to Diagon Alley yesterday. On top of the books, Hermione realized there was a letter. She definitely did not remember seeing any letter yesterday and realized her was name written on it. She quickly tore it opened and looked inside. She hoped it was something to do with Quidditch, telling her it was some kind of mistake or something.

To Miss. Hermione Granger,

I bet you are surprised and wondering why you have received a Quidditch uniform and how you have been selected. Just so you know, it is no mistake. You have been chosen to be Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. I bet you're shocked, but Harry, Professor McGonagall, and I decided that you should be Seeker. I have also informed Ronald Weasley and Ginny Weasley the news and they will help assist you. I will tell you more once you get to school. I'm looking forward to seeing you this evening.

Sincerely,

Professor Dumbledore

What did this mean? What did he mean by Harry, Professor McGonagall, and himself selecting her to be part of the team. This did not make any sense. She could barely fly on a broomstick from one end to another and they wanted her to be in a place where there was full of action .

"Oh bloody Merlin. What the hell is going on? Please tell me this is a dream or something. Now's a good time to wake up!" Oh my god, did I just swear? Me, Hermione Granger swearing? Strangely, it felt nice to swear and express these feelings out loud.

"Hermione did you just swear? I can't believe you just swore. Why are you swearing? Oh, let me guess, it's about getting that letter from Dumbledore, right? Stop freaking out! I'm on it too if it makes you feel any better."

Hermione turned around and realized Ginny she had waken up from the noise she was making.

"You can't blame me, can you Ginny? Besides, you like Quidditch and you're good at it. I've never played a game in my entire life."

"Mione, don't worry. I'm sure there is a reason for this or else Dumbledore wouldn't have chosen you. He chose you and that's that, but what about Harry? Isn't he suppose to be Seeker? Mione, I wonder if Harry is alright."

Hermione could tell Ginny was feeling a little uncomfortable and worried about Harry.

"Don't worry Ginny. Remember, he wrote to us a couple of days ago telling us he'll be busy doing an errand."

"I guess." Hermione could still tell she was still a bit unsure. "Hermione, I think this is the first time I've ever heard you swear. It's strange, but cool at the same time."

"Ginny, how could you think of me swearing at a time like this? For Merlin's sake!"

"There you go again. I'm thinking you have been hanging with Ron way too much. Anyways, stop worrying Mione. Once we get to Hogwarts all your questions will be answered."

Hermione knew she was right. She couldn't wait for this evening to come.

"Hurry up. We need to get a move on. You don't want to be late, do you?" Mrs.Weasley had walked in, without them noticing and started to help them pack. Hermione looked up at the clock on the wall and realized she had better get a move on. For one thing she didn't want to be late on her first day back and for another, she had a ton of questions to ask Professor Dumbledore. She quickly picked up any things that were left lying around and walked out of the room. By the times she was done and went downstairs, she could hear Ron and Ginny talking softly in the background, saying something about Quidditch and her name, but she didn't care, not at this moment because there were more important things running in her mind right now.

They were finally on the Hogwarts Express. All Hermione could think about was seeing Dumbledore and asking him why she was on the team. They quickly found an empty compartment and claimed it. She could hear Ginny, Ron, Dean, and Seamus, and some other students playing Exploding Snaps already. Hermione didn't feel like joining them, so she opened her novel Longing, by Lydia Wyndham. She had just started it and it was already good. Then the sound of a door slid open revealing the three many people she did not want to see. At first, she thought it might have been Harry, but the train had already left the station.

"Granger, why the frown? I would expect a smile when you see my presence."

"That's only in your imagination, Malfoy." Hermione could feel the anger build up in her. After receiving news about being Seeker and now he was going to bother her, it made her want to punch him.

"Granger, I'm insulted. So what are you ninny heads doing? Nothing better to do, huh? Is it true that Potter might not be here this year. What a... "

"What do you mean Harry's not going to be here?" That was obviously Ron's voice.

"Weasel, don't you know it's rude to interrupt others, especially people above your class."

Ron was about to punch him, but Ginny and a couple of others held him down. Apparently, Harry hadn't clearly made it more specific in his letter that he was going to be away for awhile to Ron. Hermione and Ginny figured it out with the clues given, but Ron was slow and it took him awhile for things to get through his head.

"You know what Malfoy? If I were you, I would shut that big yap of yours. Besides, now that Harry is gone, you're probably thinking you have less competition or something. Harry has always been a better Seeker than you and you know it. It's sad you could never beat him."

"Why if it isn't little Miss.Weaslette, you defending your boyfriend again. I have nothing to fear. I just feel sorry who I'm going to have to play against cause I'm gonna show no mercy. They're going to be lying in the hospital wing and..."

"SHUT UP, MALFOY AND GET OUT OF HERE!" Hermione could not listen to Malfoy's remarks. She knew she was going to be that person lying in the hospital wing and she didn't want to hear any more of it.

"You heard her, get out already" Ginny yelled at them, giving them each an evil glare. With that, the three of them left muttering something about mudbloods.

"Stupid idiots. I would have given him a black eye if you guys didn't hold me down. Hpmf!"

Everyone laughed as they heard Ron say this. He sounded like a little kid wanting a brand new toy, but his mommy wouldn't approve.

They finally reached Hogwarts and were having the opening ceremony. The Great Hall was filled with students. The Sorting Hat sang its song and Professor McGonagall read the names on the list. Professor Dumbledore said his welcomes to those returning and those who were new. The table was quickly filled with food and everyone seemed to be happy and cheerful. Ron asked her if she had seen Harry, but still, he was no where in sight. She could hear Malfoy telling his gang how his summer was and something about his father getting him a new broom. She could have sworn there was a moment where they had made eye contact at one another for awhile, but she turned away, thinking she was just seeing things. When the food cleared away and Dumbledore told everyone to have a good night's rest, Hermione knew it was time to ask her questions. She just could not wait and ask him.

She quickly got up, walked over to the front until someone called her name...

So, was it boring? I know it kind of dragged and if it put you to sleep, sorry. Please review and tell me what you think. I revealed what position she was going to play at last...lol. Who do you think is the person that called her? Anyways, please don't forget to review!!!!!!!!
