CHAPTER 7. QUIDDITCH BATTLE
Friday, September 12th
Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked into potions class. The trio sat down and got their books out of their bags.
"Snape is going to give us back our results on the veritaserum," said Hermione beaming. Ron groaned.
"I don't know how we did on that," he said to Harry who pulled a face. Hermione grinned.
"I don't think you two could have done that badly," said Hermione smiling at them.
"They probably did," came a cool voice from behind them. Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned around to see Draco Malfoy smirking at them. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"What do you want, Malfoy," Hermione asked, folding her arms. Draco smirked.
"With Weasel-Bee's luck he probably turned it into poison," smirked Draco. Ron lunged at Draco. Hermione jumped out of the way, Harry grabbed Ron as Draco jumped out of the way.
"Ron stop it!" cried, Hermione. "You'll get in trouble!" Ron glared at Draco.
"Really Weasel-Bee?" smirked Draco. "Still trying to fight me?" he jeered.
"What are you suggesting?" Ron growled.
"A quidditch battle," he said matter of factly. Hermione looked at Draco confused.
"Deal," said Ron glaring at him.
"Alright," said Draco, smirking. "You vs me at 4:00 pm at the quidditch pitch" he added and then walked away.
"What are you doing Ron?" Hermione hissed.
"Teaching him not to mess with me," Ron growled. Hermione looked worried.
Harry and Hermione hurried after Ron to the quidditch pitch.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Hermione asked gingerly.
"Yes," answered Ron simply. Harry and Hermione shared a concerned look. When they arrived at the quidditch pitch Ron went straight for Draco. "Let's get this over with," he said. Draco smirked.
"Gladly," he said. Harry and Hermione went to sit in the bleachers.
"I'm not sure this is a good idea," Hermione whispered to Harry. Harry shrugged.
"Ron wants to do it," he replied. The two friends watched the match take place.
Ron and Draco were speeding around the pitch, trying to catch the snitch. Hermione watched in dismay as Draco overtook Ron and reached out his hand. She saw his hand close over the snitch and groaned.
"This can't be happening," groaned Harry.
"Poor Ron," mumbled Hermione. The two friends hurried down onto the pitch to join Ron. Draco smirked at them and walked away.
"Are you ok?" Hermione asked Ron gingerly. Ron shrugged.
"I can't believe I lost," Ron muttered. Harry smiled reassuringly.
"Just rotten luck," he said, elbowing him. "Come on, let's go back to Gryffindor common room," he said. The three of them headed up to their common room. Ron slumped onto a sofa.
"What's up with you?" Ginny asked, frowning.
"He lost a quidditch battle against Malfoy," explained Harry. Ginny grimaced.
"Ouch," Ginny said quietly sitting next to him. "He's not worth it Ron," she added, smiling at him. Ron smiled back.
"Yeah I know," he replied. "I'm just gutted," he admitted.
After a while, Hermione left the Gryffindor common room to go work in the head boy and girl common room. She unlocked the door and went to sit at her desk. Sighing she got a piece of parchment out and started writing a letter to her parents.
Dear mum and dad,
I'm sorry I haven't been keeping in touch right now, a lot has happened lately.
Thank you so so so much for the feather necklace, I love it so so much! It's so beautiful.
We do have a lot of homework but I have everything under control and I have found time to study and relax too.
I also told Harry, Ron, and Ginny about the adoption and they were so so supportive. Professor Lupin knows too now because he needed to ask the girls in my class questions. I don't mind him knowing, but it definitely made me feel odd.
I hope everything is going smoothly at home.
I miss you both so so much and I can't wait to see you.
I must admit, I'm kind of feeling homesick...
It's weird, I'm normally so happy here but right now I don't feel too good.
I'll do my best to keep up with my work and still take time to have fun with my friends.
I'll keep you updated.
Love you both lots,
Hermione xx
By the time she finished her letter, Hermione was crying a little. She sniffed, folded her letter and wiped her tears.
"Are you crying?" Draco asked. Hermione jumped and wiped her eyes.
"No," she said, turning around. Draco snorted.
"I'm not stupid Granger," he added. He grabbed a chair and moved it over to Hermione's desk. The two of them sat in silence. Draco pointed at her bracelet. "Do you mind if we talk about that?" he asked. Hermione shrugged.
"What do you want to know?" she asked sniffing.
"How do you have one?" Draco asked.
"I don't know," she answered. Draco frowned.
"What do you mean?" he asked. Hermione sighed.
"I just don't know how," she said.
"It's a wizard's birth bracelet," Draco pointed out.
"So you said," Hermione replied shortly.
"You don't know how you have one?" he asked.
"No," replied Hermione, looking away from him.
"There's something you aren't saying," Draco said looking at her. She looked up at him and they made eye contact. Hermione sighed.
"I'm adopted," she said. Draco raised his eyebrows. Hermione was so shocked. 'Why did I just tell him?' she asked herself. Draco shifted in his seat.
"Oh," he said. There was silence for a bit. "I didn't know," Hermione shrugged.
"No one knew until this week," she admitted, shrugging. 'Why am I telling him all of this?' she thought to herself.
"And you don't know who your parents are?" he asked. She shook her head. "Can't you ask the adoption centre?" he asked. Hermione shifted in her chair.
"It isn't that simple," she admitted. Draco rested his face on his hands.
"Go ahead," he said.
"It's a long story," Hermione added.
"Better get started then," Draco replied. Hermione sighed.
"I wasn't adopted normally." she stared. Draco looked at her. Hermione sighed. "I don't think it's ever happened this way before." She paused and looked at him again.
"Go on," he added.
"February 24th, 1981 my parents, well, my adoptive parents, Michael and Eve Granger, woke up and found me wrapped in a blanket on their living room floor. They called the police and the police came over and investigated but couldn't find any traces as to how I got there. The only clues they had were this bracelet," she said, lifting up her right arm. "and a green ribbon." she added. Draco frowned.
"A green ribbon?" he asked. Hermione nodded. "Can I see it?" he asked. Hermione opened up her bag and took out a green ribbon. The ribbon had a little engraved "H.G." on it. Draco picked up the ribbon and looked at it. "H.G.?" he asked. Hermione shrugged.
"Hermione G," she said. He looked at her.
"Did your parents choose the name "Hermione"?" Draco asked. Hermione shook her head. She took off her bracelet and showed it to him.
"No. It was on the bracelet," she said. Draco picked it up and looked at it. A silver bracelet, identical to his, with the name Hermione on it and her date of birth; 24.08.1980. He took off his bracelet and compared it to his. They were identical.
"And muggles don't have these bracelets?" Draco asked. Hermione shook her head.
"Muggle bracelets are different," she explained. She got up and went to her shelf. She opened a little box and took out a gold bracelet. She sat back down and put it down on the table. The two of them examined the three bracelets. The gold one was significantly different. Not to mention the colour, the font was different, the cut was different, the shape was different and so many other little things. Draco sat back.
"This is weird," Draco said. Hermione looked hurt. "Not you," he said. He cleared his throat looking a little uncomfortable. "The bracelet," he added. Hermione smiled a little.
"I know," she said quietly. "I never knew it was a wizard bracelet," she said. Draco shrugged.
"Weasley and his family should have them," he said. He paused. "Potter might have had one too," he added. Hermione sniffed and put her gold bracelet away. She picked up the ribbon and put it back in her bag and put her silver bracelet back on. Draco put his on and ran his fingers through his hair. Draco and Hermione looked at each other. He cleared his throat and walked out of the common room. Hermione sighed.
'That was weird,' Hermione thought to herself. She got out her divination dream log and finished filling it in. She then finished filling in the hippogriff diagram Hagrid had given them and started her History of Magic essay on the Hogwarts battle that had taken place in this school 3 months ago. It felt strange writing about something of that sort that had affected her life. She sighed and put her quill down. 'I can't work right now,' she thought to herself. Hermione got up, shut the balcony door, grabbed her bag and left the head boy and girl common room. Hermione made her way to dinner and joined Harry and Ron.
"Where were you?" Harry asked, smiling. Hermione smiled back.
"I was working in the Head Boy and Girl common room," she explained. "What did you two do?" she asked.
"We played chess," said Ron grinning.
"And we wanted to go swimming but didn't have time," added Harry. Hermione grinned.
"No homework huh?" Hermione asked, teasing. Ron stuck his tongue out and Harry grinned.
"We have all weekend," groaned Ron. Hermione smiled.
"Alright, Ronald," she replied, teasing. Harry grinned at her.
