Ch 16 Gryffindor Vs. Slytherin

The locker room was in complete silence. The only noise was from the crowd outside waiting restlessly to begin the game.

" Well I can manage to say is good luck to us. This is the most anticipated game of the year. We are playing for the Quidditch cup. We have spent endless hours of practicing and I truly hope it pays off. I would certainly like to have that big shiny gold cup in my firm grasp one more time before I leave Hogwarts forever." Sterling finally said her voice was long and drawn out she was obviously nervous too. We all were.

"Now lets get on the field and play the best game we've ever had!" she said and we cheered getting ourselves amped for the game. We walked onto the field with extreme confidence smiles graced all of our faces and the crowd burst into a deafening roar. We took a lap around the field getting everyone more excited. Then the Slytherin team strutted out onto the field. The crowd went wild again, and we landed in front of them. Tom was captain so he stood at the front a look of extreme confidence on his handsome face. He looked at me and I smiled more broadly winking at him.

"I'll have you later" he mouthed. I felt my face blush as everyone on my team turned to look at me including the referee.

"lets get this game started!" he shouted. He released the balls and blew his whistle releasing the Quaffle. I got hold of it first and I tore down the pitch.

" And the game begins! Dumbledore in possession she is heading for the goals. I have just found out a bit of gossip pertaining to this very anticipated game. Hermione Dumbledore Gryffindors top Chaser is going steady with Tom Riddle Captain and Keeper for the Slytherin team! Is this not the news of the year. Could this effect the outcome of the game?" the commentator was saying and I wondered how he found out not a lot of people knew and thanks to that very public announcement all the professors would know. And Dumbledore's suspicion of why I was in that classroom will be confirmed. This was mortifying. I was wrapped in my own thoughts that I didn't see the big Slytherin chaser who rammed into me tearing the Quaffle from my hands.

"oooo that's gonna leave a mark Dumbledore has just been knocked silly by one of Slytherins giant chasers. She looks like she got the air knocked out of her. She seems okay she's headed back up field… she rips the Quaffle from Montage and she passes to Gram who takes it up the field he shoots and it is blocked by Riddle who passes off to Geraldo." The game was getting longer no goals had been made. Lee passed me the ball and I flew up the field. I dodged a bludger aimed at my head and I was facing Tom.
"And it's a face off by the love birds will they play fair or our their feelings what's effecting this no point game? Dumbledore shoots and Its in she scored! 10- zilch Gryffindor.! Folks this is going to be one hell of a game!" The game continued like it started only once in a blue moon would either team score. It was long slow game because of how evenly we were matched. We would seize forward then Slytherin would surpass us then we would be tied and all the of it would be repeated. The score stood tied at 170 when night fell and the first sign of the Snitch appeared. Everyone stopped to watch not one person moved as the seekers pushed and shoved trying to reach the small golden ball. Then quite suddenly a brown gloved hand with gold and red stripes closed around the ball. The crowd roared so loud that the very air seemed to shake. We had won Gryffindor had got the Quidditch cup. We landed as kids poured onto the field lifting us onto their shoulders. I could see Sterling's face shining with tears of happiness. They put us down as the teachers and the headmaster surged forth with the Quidditch cup sparking proudly. Sterling took the cup and raised it high for all to see and the crowd cheered loudly. I was truly happy if I was to die in that second I would die a happy person. Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. It was Tom.
"Congratulations" he said and he kissed me right there in front of the whole school and all the teachers and everyone. The crowd cheered and there were cat calls and wolf whistles. We broke apart and I smiled at him.

"Lets go celebrate" I said and we snuck off hopefully not drawing anyone's attention. We went back to the room that we always meet in and we kissed for a while until escalated into a full blown 'hump'. We laid there for a while after then I asked him what I had been wanting to ask him.

" Tom when we have sex why do you never take off your clothes?" I told him watching his face he looked straight ahead he seemed ashamed.

"because my body is scared in the most unpleasant ways and have never let anyone see and I don't know if I ever can. Its one thing I am ashamed of." he said quietly getting up from the couch.

"Are you think you could ever let me see you. I want to see all of you Tom I want to know what you feel like against me." I told him tracing my finger down the side of his face.

" Maybe one day but certainly not now" he said. He went over to the table and he checked on the potion it didn't need anything until tomorrow morning. He picked up a book and began to read writing something down here and there.

" Its getting late Tom I'm going to go. Goodnight" I told him after a while of staring at him.

" Ok don't forget to be here at 6:25 sharp." he said I nodded and headed up the passage. I heard him say 'Goodnight' just before I stepped out onto the first floor corridor. It was deserted like always.

I entered the common room to tremendous applause. I was given hugs and congratulations and alcohol before I managed to sneak up to bed. I had to buy Tom a Christmas gift I thought before I fell asleep. My dreams were haunted by Tom and a snake wrapped the world. It was strange yet symbolic in a way. Then I remembered the pendant in that jewelry shop Sterling and I had been into. I only had a week until Christmas so I went that morning. Most of the school had stayed for Christmas break because of the dance so it wasn't to hard to sneak away from the castle as long as I kept my hood up. When I reached Hogsmeade I went straight to the jewelry shop. I thanked my lucky stars that it was still there. I bought it not paying attention to the price and the cashier put it in a mall velvet box. I put it in my pocket and headed quickly back up to school. I made it back without a hitch and headed up to my dorm to wrap it. It was thankfully empty. I took out the pendant and looked at it. It was beautiful a silver snake with ruby eyes wrapped around an emerald and sapphire world. I pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote 'The world is yours' I put the note in the box and I held the pendent in my palm. I concentrated on the pendent and put my energy into the small object. Then I put it back in the box. I wrapped it in silver and put it in my bedside. I didn't write who it was from because I knew he would know. I pulled out my book and note book and continued with my research.
