Kagome gripped her book tighter, watching Harry grab the snitch in the Slytherin vs. Gryffindor Quidditch match.
Fred had finally broken her down and she found herself in the bleachers, watching the players every move. When he would ask later she would of course still tell him that she couldn't stand the sport, but maybe she'd go to the next one and sit next to her boyfriend.
The stands erupted in cheers, Slytherin booing or remaining silent as they filed out of the stadium, casting surly glares at the cheering students.
Kagome's eyes remained fixed on the field, Cho Chang shaking her arm and jumping up and down. Malfoy had landed close to the Gryiffindor team shouting something to be heard over the cheers.
"Cho… Cho… That's not good." Kagome said tapping her best friends arm.
Cho stopped her cheering and watched the secene unfolding. Malfoy shouted something else when George and Harry sprinted forward, the three chasers restraining Fred.
"Well, welcome to your first Quidditch match; you should get to him, he'll probably need to see you after whatever Malfoy said." Cho said, turning to Kagome with a sympathetic look on her face.
Kagome shoved her way through her housemates, running along the outside of the pitch and finding the entrance to the Gryffindor locker room.
Angelina was leaning against the locker, her hands holding her head, her remaining teammates on edge, ready to spring into action in case Fred tried running out to find the Slytherin seeker.
Alicia glanced up as she stepped into the room, she ignored the fact that she wasn't a Gryffindor and jerked her head to the bench where Fred sat still in his uniform, his knuckles turning white from gripping the wood so tight.
Fred glanced up when he heard footsteps, sagging into the bench before standing up. "I'll meet you all later."
He could feel the tension leaving his body as he wrapped his arm around Kagome's shoulder and walked with her out of the locker room and back to the castle, recounting to her what she had missed on the pitch.
"You played brilliantly." Kagome murmured in an attempt to make him feel better.
Fred glanced down slowing to a stop, "you actually watched?"
Kagome smiled, "maybe it wasn't so bad."
Fred smiled and dipped his head down, kissing her softly, "I love you."
