Hermione and Luna rushed through the halls passing classrooms in a blur determined to get to the quidditch match not that they would miss it completely but they were a little bit tardy getting to the match because Luna had forgotten her lion hat which she insisted on grabbing for apparently, it prevented Nargles from stealing the snitch, they could hear the cheers of the students and that spurred Hermione to increase her pace, shed convinced herself that the only reason for her haste was because she wanted to she harry and Ron but if she was being honest with herself (which she wasn't being at the moment) she secretly wanted to see Malfoy in action

Hermione and Luna pushed through several Gryffindors to get to the front of the stands so they could see the match better, they'd missed seeing ginny and harry being announced but got there just in time to hear Lee say "annnnnnd now our keeper from Gryffindor Roooon Weeeeasly " Hermione cheered just as loud as everyone else and did a little jump when Lunas hat roared right next to her ear. Everyone's cheers quickly morphed into booing when the Slytherin team started getting announced; it was weird but shed never really listened to Lee saying the Slytherin names before and despite herself she couldn't help but frown at the rude way their names were said; especially Dracos (though he seemed oblivious to it ) "and here comes the bigoted blonde ferret Slytherins seeker. Draco Malfoy" Hermione watched him grinning as he flew onto the field followed by a pissed looking Flint. She drowned out Lee's commentary and focused on Draco. He looked determined, she watched him shout something to Harry with a big sneer on his face, Harry's face went red with anger, Ron was nearby and upon hearing what had been said gave Malfoy the finger. Hermione gave a small groan, she knew that thanks to the Slytherin vs Gryffindor rivalry, the game would not be a friendly one. Before the game started both the teams huddled together for a cheer, she saw Malfoy whisper something to Goyle before turning back to Flint who was gesturing wildly. When the game started she watched in horror as Ron got pelted with bludger after bludger "I thought Malfoy was bluffing when he said he'd tell Goyle to aim bludgers at Ron?!" Hermione huffed to luna annoyed. "He seemed quite serious to me" Luna replied with a halfhearted shrug before turning back to the game, ending the discussion.

The game seemed to drag on, and Hermione had never really liked quidditch much so she was silently praying it would be over soon so she could get in some quick studying in before bed. Then Harry spotted the snitch, causing both seekers to streak across the field elbowing each other significantly in an attempt to throw the other off course.

after the game was over, she headed back to the common room surrounded by a bunch of very happy gingers and one beaming, but still bashful seeker

the moment they stepped into Griffendor tower there was cheering and celebrating, both of which Hermione quickly extracted herself from. Having never been one to enjoy parties much, she headed up to her dorm, (to get some studying done of course).

As she sat there reading the suggested transfiguration text (which she had already read twice before that night) she found her mind wandering, focusing on one thing, Draco. Merlin, she had to stop thinking about him, what was so captivating about him anyway? She pondered this whilst staring at the opened page of the book. Maybe it was the blonde hair or the grey eyes, or maybe it was just the fact that he was handso- "No!" she shouted out loud, she clapped a hand over her mouth feeling self-conscious even though no one was in the dorm, thank Merlin no one was there though, otherwise she would have had to explain her outburst, and she was a terrible liar.

Ugh stupid Griffendors and there crazy party's, she thought bitterly, after attempting to sleep for a good while but being unable to due to the really loud partying going on in the common room. And yes she could always have cast a silencing charm on the door, but currently, that was the farthest thing from her mind. So she rolled out of bed (not gracefully in the slightest) and stumbled down the stairs following the sounds of Firewhiskey induced singing and laughter, when she got down the steps she was met with a sight she had not at all wanted to see: Ron and Lavender snogging each other's faces off right at the base of the stairs. That's when she lost it, she walked briskly by the couple and went in search of Harry, she found him talking with Ginny. She walked right up to him grabbed him by the ear and dragged him out the portrait hole and into the empty corridor. "Hermione" he whined, but because he was Harry, he didn't look mad he only looked concerned. "oh this is about Ron and Lavender right?" he said softly, when she nodded slightly he continued "you like him right" Hermione opened her mouth to admit the fact that yes, she did fancy Ron, but somehow found herself unable to say it. "I like Ron," she said with a small nod, but she even to her own ears, sounded as if she was trying to convince herself. Harry must have heard the doubt in her voice, and misinterpreted it quite badly "your jealous" he stated

Hermione stepped back crossing her arms over her chest and in a chastising voice replied "Harry I am in no way jealous of Ron" then with a very un-Hermione like smirk she continued " why on Earth would I want to snog Lavender" Harry laughed the sound echoing down the corridor making it sound almost musical " alright" he conceded putting his hands up in an I-give-up-gesture. still laughing quietly he turned and headed back into the common room. Hermione followed close behind, but instead of going back to join the party like Harry, she went back up to her dorm. When she got in she remembered why she had gone down to the celebration in the first place, to shut it down, but instead, she just cast the silencing charm and finally attempted to sleep. The last thought she had before drifting off was something along the lines of, Bloody Malfoy.
