A new update!
I struggled a bit for the follow up chap but thanks to an awesome fellow fan fictioner (if that's even a word) I finished it.
So I hope this chap does ur idea justice! Thanks again.
Hope you all like it. If not ur more than welcome to let me know :)
After all the introductions have been made and the hype calmed down a bit, they thought about doing something together for the rest of the afternoon.
After a couple of suggestions they finally agreed on one activity.
Well at least three agreed on it.
"This isn't fair guys. You know I can't play sports. I can't even kick a ball properly" Hermione whined as she was the only one who voted no on a football game between them.
"It's three votes to one Hermione. Majority wins" Dean calls over his shoulder as he takes the ball from his backpack.
"Yeah, c'mon 'Mione it'll be fun. We can even make it even." Harry laughs at himself. "I'll pair up with Dani, seeing as I'm not yet as good as Dean, and Dean can pair up with you. It's even then right?"
Dean nods his head in agreement.
"Is that okay Dani?" Harry asks.
"Yup its cool with me"
Hermione let's out an annoyed huff.
"What's the matter Granger? Afraid of a little exercise?" Dani jokes as she runs to join Harry's side.
"We so have this in the bag" she grins at him.
"Don't worry about them Hermione. Cockiness never wins in the end. Stick with me and we'll show them" Dean encourages Hermione.
"Hey you two! Are you done practicing you're losing speech? We got a game to win!" Harry shouts at them.
This gave Hermione more energy to play and to prove that she can play too.
"After this, you'll be practicing you're apologies. Let's start!"
And so the game began. Harry and Dani scored three quick goals and were slapping each other on the back, knowing that they would walk away the winners.
Hermione was trying to do what Dean said but she couldn't get the hang of it. It frustrated her to no ends.
What made it worse, was that Dani was her opponent.
And just like that a million bulbs exploded in her mind.
She knew how to get the upper hand. All this time she's been trying to win at Dani's game. When all she needed was to play her own game. Use her strongest asset.
Her mind!
But knowing this, wasn't as easy as it seems. It felt like she was about to expose a part of her that she herself wasn't fully understanding yet. Or rather, was ignoring it. It was there, something was there, she knew it.
Screw this Hermione. Wasn't Dani all about not worrying what other people thought and just going for whatever?
So in that moment, as she saw Dani walking to pick up the ball (to resume the game), she summoned all of her Gryffindor courage and deciding to just suck it, strode over to Dani.
As Dani was leaning down to pick the ball up, Hermione bent a little lower and whispered something only for Dani to hear.
"I really want to kiss you right now"
Dani dropped the ball and almost tripped herself as she spun to face Hermione.
Hermione was already gone though. Having re taken her spot next to Dean.
Dean saw that Hermione's face was extremely red and had mistaken it for tiredness from all the running.
"You alright there Hermione? We can stop if you want?"
It took a second for her to react and to realise he misunderstood her red face.
But seeing Dani on the other side completely floored and out of character made her smile in achievement
"Hmm. Yes. Let's win this!" she gave Dean a winning smile.
A couple of minutes (and six goals, in Dean/Hermione's favour) later saw Dean congratulating his playing partner on their victory.
"You guys cheated. That's the only logical explanation" Harry whined.
"Please Harry. You're a bad loser. Admit it." Hermione joked lightly.
"Am not."
"You hate losing Harry. I know you do" Dean throws in.
Harry, seeing he wasn't getting anywhere with them, turned to a still quiet Dani (who seemed lost in space)
"What happened dude? You like completely froze on me?"
"Sorry. But I was distracted." She cast her eyes fleetingly in Hermione's direction, who avoided her eyes.
"Distracted?! Distracted? Dani don't let me down like this"
Dean could do nothing but roll his eyes and Hermione only looked on in amusement.
"Don't worry HP, team Darry will prevail again. We can't be brought down by something as mundane as this little loss" Dani seemed to have come back to earth, as she was her joking old self again.
"Oh my goodness"
"What have we done"
Hermione and Dean whispered together.
This made everyone laugh out loud.
Momentarily everything and everyone is forgotten as they shared in on the laughter.
