When the brunette got back she saw Ginny and walking over to her.
"What I miss?" She asked and Ginny looked at her. "Oh God what happened?" She asked making Ginny sigh.
"Chaser tryouts went great! Angelina, Smith, Davies and I get to come back but well... Keeper tryouts didn't go so well." She admitted and Hermione sighed... Ron.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Well Ron, Cormac, Miles Bletchley and Summerby all tried out but no offence to them but they were ALL shite" She whispered and Hermione sighed. She knew that the school didn't have a good Keeper, ever since Wood left Quaffles had just been flying through.
"God Ron's going to be gutted." Hermione whispered back and Ginny sighed nodding her head. "What's happening now?" She asked and Ginny looked to the crowd around Hooch and grinned.
"Seekers!" She whispered excitedly and Hermione grinned, this was the tryout that everyone had been waiting for.
Harry was stood smugly at the front, Malfoy was on his left looking, well quite board actually. Cho Chang was there, Ravenclaws Seeker, Cedric Diggory was there as well, the Hufflepuff Seeker, but that was it. No one else dared tryout for Seeker they knew they didn't stand a chance up against these four.
"Right! Here's how it's going to work you're all going to fly up and I'm going to release the Snitch I'll do this twice and the first two people to catch it will go into the final." Madame Hooch announced and the Seekers nodded mounting their brooms and flying into the sky.
A few seconds later and the golden Snitch was released Hermione instantly lost sight of it and sighed as the four players scanned the pitch restlessly. She looked up at Malfoy and jumped as she found him staring down at her; she blushed and ducked her head making him grin.
Suddenly the blonde Slytherin shot into a nose dive and the other three quickly followed after him but it was too late Malfoy already had the Snitch grasped firmly in his hands.
The cheer from Slytherin was so loud that Hermione actually covered her ears. Malfoy grinned and came down to hover by Madame Hooch handing the Snitch back to her she smiled and took it.
"Alright! Well done Malfoy!" She called and then released the ball again. Hermione frowned when Malfoy didn't come back down and turned to Ginny who just shrugged too absorbed in the game to talk to Hermione.
Draco leant back on his broom casually his eyes once again fixing on Hermione; she tilted her head to one side making him do the same. Her chocolate curls tumbled over one shoulder and she saw him smile at this.
Suddenly he was coming towards her the rest of the Seekers instantly did the same assuming he'd spotted the Snitch again.
Ginny grabbed Hermione's arm and waved madly towards the approaching Seekers, Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Yes Gin I CAN see them" She hissed and Ginny meekly let go of her arm. Malfoy grinned at her as he suddenly pulled up and soared backwards over the other Seekers heads and plucked the Snitch from right above Harry.
The Slytherin's were ecstatic and roared with excitement.
"Wow" Hermione whispered and Ginny gapped.
"I'll see your wow and raise you a bloody hell" She commented and Hermione snorted before the four Seekers touched down.
"What happens now? Draco was the only one to catch the Snitch?" Hermione whispered and Ginny shrugged staring at Madame Hooch who was looking at Draco with a smile.
Hermione sat in her room all alone staring at the cupboard on her side of the room. Sighing she rubbed her temples and got to her feet walking over to the door. Taking a deep breath she flung the doors open and took out the Firebolt that rested inside. It was no ordinary Firebolt Hermione's name was carved in gold up the side and it was custom built for her small frame.
She delved back into the cupboard and grabbed her Keeper's gloves smiling at the embroidered HG on the backs. Suddenly she heard someone coming up the stairs and shoved them back into the cupboard just as the door opened.
"Mione? You coming to dinner? Madame Hooch is gunna announce the team!" Ginny shouted ecstatic and Hermione laughed before following her friend out the room casting one last fleeting glance at her cupboard.
"Hey guys!" Ginny greeted as she sat at the Gryffindor table.
"Hey" Harry grumbled and Ginny sighed patting his back as Hermione sat next to Ron who looked just as miserable.
"Cheer up Harry we don't know who's won yet, you too Ron" She encouraged and they both nodded looking slightly happier.
Dinner was eaten in a tense mood until Madame Hooch got to her feet and everyone fell silent.
"I know that you're all dying to hear what I'm about to tell you" She chuckled and everyone groaned.
"JUST GET ON WITH IT!" Malfoy shouted out and everyone laughed murmuring their agreement.
"Very well... Chaser's!" She began and Ginny grabbed Hermione's hand squeezing tightly.
"Ow! Gin, circulation!" Hermione squeaked but Ginny didn't hear her.
"Ginerva Weasley!" Madame Hooch announced and Ginny screamed she jumped from her seat and screamed making Hermione laugh loudly. "Yes well done Miss Weasley, Rodger Davies!" Madame Hooch smiled and Ginny spun on her heel sprinting over to the Ravenclaw table and grabbing poor Rodger in a bone crushing hug "And finally Zacharias Smith!" Madame Hooch called and Ginny turned to find Smith but he was already up and running to the red head. She flung her arms around the Hufflepuff and they jumped in a circle together. "The Beaters are Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle!" Madame Hooch announced and the Slytherin boys just looked at each other before grinning. "And our Seeker..."
The hall fell deathly silent again and Ginny crossed her fingers chanting in her head Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter.
Hermione on the other hand closed her eyes, crossed her fingers and began chanting something different in her head Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy.
"Draco Malfoy!" She called and Hermione's eyes snapped open a grin on her face she instantly caught Malfoy's eye and he grinned madly at her. Harry slammed the table with his fist and cursed madly under his breath.
"As for our Keeper we have not yet decided... once this decision has been made I will announce who will captain the team" Madame Hooch nodded and then sat down. The chosen Hogwarts team looked at each other... Ginny Weasley, Rodger Davies, Zacharias Smith, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle and Draco Malfoy then all 6 of them looked around the room for the possible 7th member of their team.
Hermione closed her eyes for a moment before smiling at Ginny and finishing her dinner.
