Chapter 11

Teams

Everyone had now arrived at the Quidditch Pitch. The four Weasleys, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny had all arrived at the same time, when Harry and Hermione were practicing flying. This made Hermione worry, now there were more chances that someone might have noticed them, even though they were so high up. She was also afraid that more than one of them could have watched them; therefore there would be more witnesses.

Hermione suddenly chuckled, she was making it sound like she and Harry murdered someone, all they did was kiss, that wasn't a crime. Everyone around her now started staring awkwardly, unsure of what was so funny. Harry, on the other hand, had a feeling he knew what she was laughing at, and couldn't help the smile that formed on his face.

Ginny glared at Harry, as if he and Hermione were sharing a secret that she wanted, or needed to know. Harry cleared his throat, in hopes of clearing any tension.

"Are you guys ready to play quidditch?" Harry asked the crew, in a happy-go-lucky tone.

"Yeah!" Emily said very loudly and excitedly. She was clung to her mother's side, as she always was. She wasn't really shy around any of these people; she was use to them by now.

"Uh…Harry…" Ginny said, interrupting him from his happiness.

"Yes, Ginny?" Harry asked politely.

"You forgot to make two different teams."

"Don't worry, I didn't forget." How stupid did she think he was? "Honey…" Harry added quickly, not wanting her to get jealous of Hermione, or get suspicious that something was going on between the two of them.

"I was thinking that we could choose two captains, and have the captains choose the players that they want on there team." Harry said. He had this whole game planned out, and he was making sure that nothing could go wrong.

"Like the muggle way of choosing teams?" Hermione asked. Because she was a muggle and all, she knew that this was the way most kids choose teams.

"No," Harry said. He had a straight face, and she believed him. "We do that in the wizarding world too," He commented, smirking. He knew that he had just gotten her, and she laughed, feeling stupid.

"Who do you think should be captain?" He asked.

"I think you should be captain, Harry," Hermione said, nominating him. She looked directly into his eyes, but immediately broke the stare, afraid that someone would realize she was flirting with him, which definitely wasn't a smart thing to do when his fiancé was standing right next to him. She decided that she needed an excuse for telling him he should be captain, incase someone did realize she was flirting with him.

"I mean, Harry, you basically organized this whole game, so why shouldn't you be captain? You deserve it, more than everyone else here." Hermione said, hoping her excuse sounded good enough.

"Everyone else agree?" Harry asked. He didn't want to make himself captain if only one person wanted him to be.

"Of course," Ron answered. "You should definitely be captain, mate."

"Okay then," Harry said. He walked in front of the group, looking at all of them.

"Oh yes," He said remembering something. "Emily's co-captain with me. We are partners, so what ever I do, she has to do. Okay?"

Everyone shook there heads. They knew Emily was going to have to be partnered with someone, they just weren't sure who.

"Emily, come up and join me then. This is where the captains stand." Harry told her.

Emily looked over at her mother, as if she was afraid to leave her. Hermione gave her a slight push toward Harry, and she walked off toward her. Harry picked her up, happy that he was going to have some bonding time with this little girl.

"Who else wants to be captain?" Harry asked the other five. They each thought for a minute, unsure of whom they wanted to be the other leader.

"What about Ginny?"" Fred suggested, volunteering his little sister.

"What?" Ginny asked in shock. She was expecting to be on Harry's team, not his opponent.

"We think you should be the captain," Fred started.

"Because you're going to be the bride in a few weeks." George said, finishing for his brother.

Ginny's eyes lit up, it seemed like whenever someone mentioned her wedding, she became overjoyed. Harry, on the other hand, seemed to become more worried, or at least ever since Hermione came back to him.

Hermione looked back at Harry, and could see worry fill up in his eyes. She knew that Harry didn't want to get married, and even though he never told her exactly why, she had a feeling she knew. She knew that Harry didn't love Ginny, and that he maybe never loved her. As much as she hated to admit it, she had a feeling that the only reason he went out with Ginny was to get over her, which didn't seem to work really well. How did she know this all? Maybe, it was because she had known him for so long, she was able to see right through him, and figure out all his secrets. But truly, she had no idea how she knew.

"Hermione"

"What?" Hermione asked, losing her train of thought and clicking back to the real world. She had no idea why they called her name, since she was far off in a different world.

"Was Hermione Jane Granger actually daydreaming?" Fred joked.

Hermione looked over at Harry, and saw the huge grin on her face. She was hoping that he would fill her in while she was off on cloud nine.

"Hermione," Harry said, trying not to laugh, "you're on my team.'

"I guess that would make since," Hermione said, realizing that was what they were about to do before she started day dreaming. She walked over and stood right next to her daughter, who was still in Harry's arms.

"Ginny, your pick." Harry said to his fiancé, who was standing next to him, but quite a few feet away.

Ginny thought for a moment, but quickly made up her mind.

"Fred" Fred walked over and joined his sister.

"Ron," Harry said, not needing anytime to think.

"I guess that means you're on my team, George," Ginny informed him. She was happy that she didn't get stuck with her brother, the one that wasn't too good at quidditch.

"Now that we've got that settled, its time to go over some ground rules." Harry began, ready to start his lecturing. He moved away from his team and faced everyone.

"We all have played quidditch before, besides Emily." Fred said smartly.

"So why do we need to go over ground rules?" George finished.

"Because," Harry said, "It's much different playing with a full team than playing with three people."

"Alright then," Fred said, realizing Harry actually had a good point.

"You can go on," George said.

"Okay. The rules in this game of qudditch will be different, a little different than a normal game of qudditch." Harry began, for the second time. "This is mainly because there are only three people per team."

Emily looked over at Harry, confused. "Harry, there's four people on our team."

"Yes, there is."

"You can continue Harry," Hermione said, a little embarrassed that her daughter just interrupted him for something that wasn't important.

"Okay." He began, again. "In this game, there will be no keepers, mainly because you will need the players for scoring, and defense, not for blocking the goal post. Each player will have to take care of all the tasks, not just have one task, like catch the snitch, or block the bludgers." Harry thought for a moment, trying to figure out what else he needed to tell to the crew.

"Oh yes, the bludgers, I almost forgot. Instead of the normal 2 bludgers, there will only be one, making it easier for you to keep your mind on scoring. It also makes the game much safer.

"This game of quidditch must be safe." Harry stressed. "Especially since Emily is playing. Do I make that clear?"

"Yes Harry." Ginny said, sick of the lecturing.

He thought for a minute, trying to make sure he didn't forget anything. "Teams separate." He ordered. "And captains get your team excited and ready to play!"

Harry, Hermione, Emily and Ron walked away from Ginny, George and Fred. Harry looked over at Emily, who was still attached to him. Her eyes were still full of joy, and she was still looking around the pitch, in awe. They all stopped walking, figuring they were far away from the other team.

"I guess I'm supposed to give a pep talk," Harry said disappointedly, to no one in particular.

"Yeah, that's what you told yourself there mate," Ron said sarcastically.

"I really don't have anything to say… Just have fun during the game." Harry was hoping he could do better than that. "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose; this game is all about fun."

"Right," Emily said. She lifted her right arm, and placed in the center of the circle which the four of them formed. She was patiently waiting for someone to place their hand on top of hers, and was wondering why no one was.

"Right," Harry said, making her happy. He moved his hand and placed it over Emily's.

"Right" Hermione followed, placing her hand on Harry's and her daughter's.

"Definitely," Ron said, finishing off by placing his hand on Hermione's.

"1…2…3..." Harry said.

The four of them screamed, "Let's play," after Harry counted. Emily was very happy, and proud that she thought of doing that.

"Go get your brooms, and let's get his game started." He yelled excitedly.

They all walked over to the cars, ready to mount their brooms. Harry walked fast, trying to catch up with Hermione, who was way far ahead of him. He fell behind when he was putting Emily up on him, giving her a piggy back ride.

"Your daughter is so cute." He told her, when he finally caught up with her. He then continued to walk over to the car.

"Yours is too," Hermione muttered.

Harry then turned around, remember something.

"Hermione?"

"Yeah..." She answered.

"We need to talk later, okay?"

"Yup," Hermione said, knowing exactly what he wanted to talk about.

AN- A lot faster of an update, right? I need some help with something. When there are 2 people together, it's called a duo, 3 is a trio, but what's 4? I've been racking my brain, and can't figure it out.
