Hours came and flew by, yet Hermione was not getting the Dopplebeater Defence. The three found out soon that she had to start from the very beginning, as she couldn't even hit the Bludger yet. Try as she might, she kept on missing the target by a few feet-or more in Ron's description. Ron was having a field day with Hermione missing all theses Bludgers here and there. Harry, on the other hand, was not really concentrating on the game; he was busy thinking about how he could get to be alone with Hermione, which proved to be, in his opinion, harder than he first had thought. He watched as Ron threw hit another Bludger to her, and then as Hermione swung with…another miss. She became quite frustrated and Harry couldn't help but notice how much he liked her face when she was irritated. It was just then however…

"Harry watch out!" Harry heard Ron cry a warning and turned to see what the matter was when he blacked out.

"Harry? Harry, are you all right?" Harry looked up to find Hermione kneeling above him. 'What was this about?' He wondered.

"What….what happened?" He tried to sit up and found himself too weak at the moment to do, anything really.

Ron was there also, but had a look of amusement instead of worry.

"What happened? I'll tell you what happened. Hermione hit the Bludger, that's what! I mean she actually hit it! I was about to think…."

Ron looked over at Hermione, who was giving him the nastiest little look; he then realized that he shouldn't have said what he did.

"Erm…I mean, Hermione hit the Bludger and instead of it coming back towards me, it came at you mate. I mean, straight towards you…if you would have been Malfoy, it couldn't have been a better shot." This got another look from Hermione.

"Oh come on! How could you take THAT in a bad way! Oh I give up. Harry, you think you're ready for another round? I KNOW he just got hit HERMIONE" he looked at her for a second, "but he looks fine now!"

Ron was right, he did look better, 'of course I can't let him know he's right' Hermione thought.

Harry looked back from Ron to Hermione and decided that he was very much capable of having another go.

"Yeah Ron, lets have at it. Hermione, neither Ron nor I are Beater material, so….I will teach you a Seeker move. Tomorrow we'll get Fred and George to come out and help with the Dopplebeater Defence." Looking at Ron, Harry saw agreement with Ron's nod and proceeded on.

"So here's what you're going to learn today. It's called the Plumpton Pass, and basically, the Seeker catches the Snitch up the sleeve. Not really that difficult, so this should be ok for you.

"Now, I'm going to have you fly up there, yes, up above the center circle, and I'll join you soon. Ron's going to be in the Keeper area, in the scoring area. He can catch the Snitch too, so he'll guard it from going out the right side, and I'll take the left. But I'll let the Snitch come at you ok?"

Hermione nodded in agreement and took up from the ground, in a shaky way, but still made it up ok.

Ron looked back at Harry for a moment.

"Are you sure your all right mate?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, let's go guard the posts for her." Harry walked off, not waiting for Ron to answer. It's not my fault if I'm acting strange now, Ron has it easy. He doesn't have Hermione on the brain.

Flying up, Ron looked over his shoulder back towards Harry, who was still walking towards the left side of the field.

'Why isn't he just flying? Maybe it's not such a brilliant idea to play again' he thought.

Walking towards the scoring area, Harry kept thinking to himself about what was going on

"Ok Harry, let it go, I'm ready now," Yelled Hermione as she flew up above the center ring.

Harry took the Snitch from the box Ron had carried out earlier and held it tightly; it was very aggressive today, which even for a Snitch is unusual.

Throwing up the Snitch, Harry quickly kicked off from the ground and headed up towards where Hermione was to direct her moves. Ron, who saw Harry throw the Snitch, took his place at the end of the field in the Keeper's circle.

Hermione looked frantically for the gold fluttering ball, which proved to be harder than it sounded. Moving her head from side to side to try and catch a glance, she decided that this was too much of a strain on her neck and instead, flew around for a little while, knowing that sooner or later she'd see it.

For at least twenty minutes Harry and Hermione yelled back and forth at each other; one yelling to keep on looking over the shoulder, and one yelling back that it was impossible at that moment and to shut up.

Finally Hermione had enough and she looked down towards her right to yell at Harry once more…and then she saw it. Right behind Harry's right ear, her left, was the Snitch. It was just like in second year when Harry spotted the Snitch behind Malfoy, and grabbed it for the win. They could have won the House Cup also, but the opportunity never came up. Voldemort, in his younger years at Hogwarts, preserved himself in a tiny little diary. Tom Riddle, as he was called then, used Ginny Weasley to lure the balisak out of its chambers. Harry barely made it out of the Chambers alive and Quidditch was canceled.

Hermione leaned forward and zoomed towards Harry, who didn't know what was going on, got wide-eyed and ducked just as she came to him.

'I can do this,' she thought…'I HAVE to do this, to show Ron that I'm capable of more than just…..studying...'

She reached out her arm and pulled up suddenly, catching the Snitch in her sleeve.

Ron cheered (as did Hermione on the inside) and did little figure eights through the 3 hoops, while Harry grinned and laughed.

"Hey Ron, did you see that! Ron?"

Ron had stopped doing figure eights and instead of looking joyful, looked downright scared. Looking over to see what Ron staring at, Harry noticed that Hermione was going ballistic on her broom. She was changing directions so fast she was basically falling off. She was screaming too, and Harry wondered why but didn't have to wait long for the answer.

The Snitch that Hermione caught was stuck in her robes and she was flying every which way to get it out. Swerving suddenly to her left, she slipped off her broom and headed towards the hard ground at accelerating top speeds. Harry noticed this as soon as it happened and sped towards Hermione trying desperately to catch up to her before the ground broke her fall. Not noticing where Ron was Harry only concentrated on Hermione, and only Hermione.

A/N: Hehehe, sorry, I only had enough time to put this chapter up, but the next one will be soon! THANK YOU!
