Hermione woke up ridiculously early that morning and grabbed her broom and gloves before sneaking out to the Quidditch pitch. She mounted the broom and was overwhelmed by the sense of rightness that flooded into her. She pulled on her gloves and took off smiling as she lent forwards and picked up sped her deep chocolate hair flying out behind her.
Draco rolled out of bed the world still a bit blurry to his sleep deprived eyes; he grabbed his broom and stumbled to the Quidditch pitch. When he finally got there he stopped dead in his tracks and squinted up at the dark sky.
Someone was on the pitch already, no one was ever here at this time in the morning. He stared up at the player in slight awe; it had been a very long time since he'd seen someone fly so well. He watched for a long moment then did a double take, that hair, that perfectly curly deep mocha hair, that petit shapely body. No, it's couldn't be. But the more he looked the more convinced he was that this flyer was the girl he'd been crushing on.
Mounting his own broom and grabbing the Quaffle he'd carried all the way from his room he flew up towards her. Yup it was most defiantly Hermione Granger.
She spun in the air doing a gracefully back flip then a beautiful summersault Draco's mouth literally dropped open. She spun one more time and ended up facing him she was about to speed off round the pitch when her eyes landed on him and she screamed. She pulled the broom up soaring high, quickly he followed after her.
"Hermione! Hermione wait! It's me! It's Draco!" He called and suddenly she stopped dropping down to his level.
"You scared the hell out of me!" She accused and his eyebrows shot up.
"You can fly!" He exclaimed and she looked down.
"Oh yeah" She nodded and he gapped at her.
"You can fly this well and all you can say is oh yeah?" He scoffed and she shrugged.
"Why on earth didn't you try out for the Hogwarts team?" He asked and she blushed looking anywhere but at him.
"I didn't think I'd make the cut" She whispered and his eyes widened before he saw her gloves.
"You're a Keeper!" He exclaimed and she blushed looking at the gloves. She nodded and he grinned flying closer to her. "Will you goal keep for me while I practice my shooting?" He asked and her eyes widened for a moment before she nodded and flew towards the goals. Draco grinned and followed her down.
She hovered gracefully in front of the centre hoop and he threw the Quaffle hard at the right one Hermione darted over and caught it effortlessly before lobbing it hard to the other end of the pitch. Draco took off after it but when he got back Hermione wasn't there shrugging he threw the ball towards the centre hoop, she shot out of nowhere and snatched the Quaffle out the air tossing it from hand to hand she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Is that all you've got Malfoy?" She grinned and he smirked as she tossed the Quaffle back to him.
It continued like this for a good 20 minutes Hermione only letting one of his shots through which she claimed he cheated at anyway.
"Bloody Hell Hermione!" Draco swore as he caught his breath she just giggled and shrugged. "I'm serious about this you should try out for the team." He announced and she blushed shaking her head.
"Try outs are already half way through" She sighed and Draco stared at her.
"Come on Hermione please? There's not a decent Keeper in the lot of them... Please?" He begged and she sighed.
"Well... I guess..." She began but she didn't get chance to finish because Draco whooped loudly and flew to her pulling her off her broom and swinging her in a circle sitting her carefully on his own broom. She blushed a light pink and snatched her broom out the air as he took them both down to the ground.
Hermione's eyes widened as she walked into breakfast a few hours later and saw Draco bent down next to Madame Hooch as the two of them talked in hushed whispers. She flushed a light pink before hurriedly sitting down next to Ginny who still hadn't stopped grinning. As Hermione grabbed a piece of toast and took a large bite Madame Hooch and Draco Malfoy appeared in front of her.
She gulped and blinked up at them as Ginny looked up expecting them to be talking to her.
"Miss Granger could I have a word?" Madame Hooch asked and Hermione nodded smiling at a bemused Ginny before getting to her feet and following Hermione and Draco from the room. They walked all the way down to the Quidditch pitch where Hermione's broom was hovering mid air. "Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy has informed me that you're quite the keeper." She grinned and Hermione flushed once again as she looked down at her feet.
"Well... I can fly" She shrugged modestly and Draco snorted raising an eyebrow at Madame Hooch who grinned.
"Can I see?" She asked and Hermione nodded before whistling and her broom shot to her side. She mounted with grace and took off...
Hermione giggled loudly as she and Draco lay flat on their backs in the middle of the Quidditch pitch a good hour later.
"That was so much fun" Hermione laughed and Draco chuckled along with her.
"Madame Hooch was certainly impressed" He grinned and Hermione blushed.
"You don't suppose I stand a chance at being on the team do you?" She asked and Draco laughed.
"I think you may already be on it." He replied before getting to his feet and leaving a stunned Hermione to think about what he'd just said.
By the time lunch rolled round Hermione was buzzing, she wanted nothing more than to be on the Hogwarts team but she was too nervous to even think about it.
"Mione" Ginny grinned as the brunette sat down next to her.
"Hey Gin" Hermione smiled back as she grabbed a ham sandwich.
"What did Madame Hooch want this morning?" Ginny asked as she bit into her steak and chewed thoughtfully. Hermione gulped as her brain whirled trying to work out if she should reveal her hidden talent to her best friend. Just as she'd made up her mind Madame Hooch coughed loudly drawing the attention of everyone in the room.
"Hello everyone, I'm pleased to tell you all that I have decided who the Hogwarts keeper will be!" She announced and there was a collective gasp.
Ron paled and gripped the edge of the table.
"You'll get it Ron" Ginny encouraged crossing her fingers and thumping her brother on the back. Hermione bit her lip nervously, no one was here to comfort her, no one knew. That was when she looked up and the molten silver eyes of Draco Malfoy landed on her. He smiled reassuringly at her and she let out a breath suddenly feeling better.
"Hermione Granger!" Madame Hooch grinned but no one said a word.
"Huh?" Ginny frowned turning to look at the gorgeous brunette.
"Hermione Granger what?"Ron shouted up to Madame Hooch.
"Hermione Granger is the Hogwarts keeper!" Madame Hooch replied and all hell broke loose. Hermione beamed brightly turning o her friends to celebrate but unfortunately that was not the reaction she received.
"She HATES Quidditch!" Ron protested loudly.
"She can't even play!" Harry shouted still sore about not getting picked. How could they pick Hermione over him! Hermione didn't even play.
The brunette felt tears prick her eyes when suddenly she was picked up and whirled around in a circle. She pulled back to see the grinning faces of Draco Malfoy and the rest of the Hogwarts team.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ginny screamed before attacking the brunette in a hug, squeezing so tightly Hermione had some serious difficulty breathing. "You're on the team! You're on the team! You're on the team!" She squealed happily and Hermione laughed as she was finally released and allowed to breathe.
Hermione grinned and wrapped her arm around Ginny as the red head did the same and they turned to face the rest of the team. There was Draco Malfoy the hottest boy Hermione had ever seen as he stood with a grin on his face his hair falling slightly into his eyes. There was Crabbe and Goyle who stood at the back of the group small smiles on their faces as they gave off the vibe that they could take anyone out who even tried to mess with the team. Then of course there was the two new chasers who Hermione didn't really know, Zacharias Smith and Rodger Davies. Zach had honey blonde hair that was cut short with bright green eyes, he was tall and looked lanky but when he got on a broom he was completely in control. Rodger was almost the opposite he had dark jet black hair and almost black eyes with deep brown skin but he too was almost just as tall as Zach. She and Ginny were the only girls on the team.
