Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter just the plot is mine
A/N: This is an Hermione/Ginny little story so if you don't like then don't read it. Just a little something for the Christmas season told from Hermione's point of view.
The next day Hermione decided that the best way to get rid of these feelings and thoughts was to just avoid Ginny altogether. Not to think about Ginny and to ignore it by immersing herself in her studies. The only problem with this plan…she had only managed to get through one day and already she was missing Ginny like crazy.
Today was the Quidditch match with Gryffindor vs Slytherin and as it was a Saturday, Hermione couldn't think of any excuses not to go to the game. She had already been cornered by both Ron and Harry about going and she had reluctantly agreed, she had even found herself walking to the stands with Luna Lovegood who was in full Gryffindor colours.
"Isn't this exciting Hermione! I can't wait to see Harry on that broom zipping around the sky and diving for the snitch. He's going to be great, I know it" Luna was obviously excited about the game. Her eyes unfocused as she no doubt was playing the whole scenario in her mind before the game had even started.
"I'm sure it will be great Luna, as long as Ron can concentrate on the game and not Katie" Hermione stated.
They found themselves a seat next to Dean and Seamus and waited for the players to make their way onto the pitch.
I'll just watch the game, say well done or give sympathy depending on the out come of the game and then I will disappear and continue to avoid Ginny until I can get rid of these stupid thoughts.
Her thoughts were cut short when Lee Jordon, the Quidditch commentator announced that the players were making their way on to the pitch. First out were the Slytherins as they took to the sky and got into position.
"And now welcome onto the pitch Gryffindor! Lead out by Harry Potter!" Lee announced.
As the team made their way onto the pitch the crowed erupted into a roar of cheers. As soon as Hermione spotted Ginny her stomach did its customary flip and her eyes became glued to the figure doing loops in the sky above before getting into position to wait for the game to begin.
"Yeah go Harry!" Luna shouted from her position next to Hermione
"Ron looks more confident don't you think Hermione?" Luna asked Hermione but she was too busy watching Ginny to acknowledge the blonde dreamer beside her.
"Ginny looks good too" at that last statement, Hermione turned and looked at Luna
"Yeah she does" Hermione said softly almost to herself.
However Luna still heard and smiled dreamily at Hermione before turning her attention back to the game which had begun.
Throughout the game Hermione was lost in her thoughts of the red head and watching intently every move that she made.
How does she manoeuvre that broom so beautifully, it's like art in motion or something. She's so agile and I think she is defiantly one of the most skilful players I have ever seen…Maybe she could turn pro after Hogwarts? Even from this distance she is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen…
Hermione shook her head to try and clear those thoughts.
Hermione you're doing it again. You don't fancy Ginny…I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
At that moment Ginny scored a particularly amazing goal by scoring whilst being upside down and the crowed screamed and cheered louder than they had before. In celebration Ginny flew closer to the stands, a big smile on her face and a 'Whoop!' to the crowd. She spotted Hermione and catching her eye, Ginny winked and gave a little wave as she flew back into the game.
Hermione felt her face flush and she swallowed hard as her heart picked up speed and felt close to bursting from her chest.
Oh Merlin I'm in trouble aren't I? Well maybe it's just a little crush…Something that will pass. I'm sure lots of people have had a little crush on a close friend…it's no big deal.
The rest of the game went on with Hermione sat in a state of shocked stupor as she tried to process her feelings that she couldn't deny that she had for the youngest Weasley anymore.
