HINNY, FOREVER (BOOK 3 OF HINNY THROUGH THE YEARS)

Semi-Finals

I don't own any of the characters. All credit goes to the Epic J.K. Rowling of course and always.

I woke up early that morning and took another shower. I had to be fresh for the game. I'd taken two cups of black coffee and stuffed two waffles, before my sleepy boy woke up. Since Harry had work all day, I decided to drop Albus with Hermione so she could bring all the kids. I took extra clothes for my kids and headed over to her through floo connection after gathering my kit bag.

"There's the seeker of the night."

"Oh, don't do that." I groaned, walking into her dining room, where surprisingly my kids sat, having breakfast with Ron and Rose. Hermione snickered as the boys got up and greeted me.

"I'm sorry, I have to drop Albus with you as well. Harry's working all day, so I need you to bring Albus too."

"All day? He isn't coming to the game?" Hermione held her waist.

"Erm, no. Something about a meeting with his Aurors."

"That's not good. It's an important game for you."

"Yeah. I never got to the part about playing seeker tonight. I figured it won't make much of a difference and I'm kind of tired of hearing 'I'm sorry. I wish I could've been there for you.' It's just annoying now." I sighed. It still hurt that he won't be there but hey, work first, right?

"It's not fair. He should come. It's the semi's."

"Ah, it's only the semi's." I waved it off.

"Is it just going to be us?" Ron asked, putting a big piece of pancake in his mouth.

"Neville, Luna and Rolph are coming too. Nigel said Nancy and Jenna will be there as well of course. Mum and Dad too." I was playing against the Chudley Canons so Ron was in a twist.

"Excellent. A whole party." Hermione nodded.

"Oh yeah." I chuckled.

"I'm rooting for the Chudleys. You have a whole lot to help you anyway."

We looked at him and I waved him off.

"Now, here you go." I handed her Albus, "He's fed, burped and changed. There are three more bottles in his bag, otherwise..."

"I've got a baby too y'know."

"Yeah. Yeah. Sorry." I waved a hand, "Now, about that, where's my little Redhead." I walked around to Ron and took the chirpy baby from his lap, "Are you going to cheer your aunt tonight?" I kissed her nose and she flapped my face away giggling. I chuckled and kissed the top of her fresh head before handing her back to Ron. I kissed James and Teddy goodbye before heading for the backyard. Making sure I was clear, I disapperated to the location near the English Quidditch National Stadium. I headed for the staff only entrance and they let me go to my players den where my entire team awaited.

"Ready for today, Potter." Gwenog tapped my back.

"Yeah. Sure." I nodded, still unsure.

"You will do brilliant. We know it. Just breathe." She chuckled.

"Yeah." I gulped. Soon we changed into our jerseys and I was trembling while putting on my gloves. I can get the snitch. I can get the snitch.

As we headed to the entrance of the pitch where the blinds would lift, letting us sore high into the sky from the middle of the stadium bleachers, Gwenog asked me to stand in the front with her. I was the seeker so of course, I was to stand with the Captain.
