Chapter 27 - First Quidditch Match

It took Draco two days and several intense snogging sessions to get Hermione to forgive him for his little stunt in the Great Hall and to agree to not skip any more meals. He had been frustrated with her stubbornness, but eventually she had caved and agreed that she didn't need to study as much as she had been. He was relieved, the weekend was here and quidditch was starting, Draco was hoping that after the match they may be able to go and play in the snow, it was one of his favorite past times with Hermione, he had hardly seen his girlfriend in the last three weeks and had missed her.

The first quidditch match of the season was being held that Saturday between Hufflepuff and Slytherin. The morning of the match found Hermione sitting at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast as a bleary eyed Ginny came in and plonked down beside her.

"Morning Ginny" Hermione smiled.

"Morning Mione" Ginny mumbled around a yawn as she placed some scrambled eggs on her plate with a piece of bacon.

"Why are you so tired this morning?" Hermione asked the red head.

"It was a full moon last night" Ginny stated as if that explained everything.

"And? You're not a werewolf Ginny, what's the full moon got to do with why you're so tired?" Hermione queried.

"Blaise picked me up from my dormitory window and we went for a midnight fly around the black lake, I didn't get to bed until nearly two" Ginny answered.

"Oh the black lake is beautiful in the light of a full moon, Theo has taken me out on his broom a couple of times" Lavender gushed, having heard Ginny as she came into the great hall.

"Ginny! You were out after curfew? That's breaking I don't know how many school rules!" Hermione scolded.

"It was a Friday night Hermione. Calm down, it's not like I was doing anything untoward" Ginny retorted.

"That's not the point Ginny" Hermione stated.

"Its romantic Hermione, I know that you don't like to fly but you should ask Draco to take you out there one night, it really is a sight to see" Lavender intoned.

"Speaking of Draco" Ginny started cutting off Hermione's retort "Has he managed to convince you to forgive him yet?" Hermione scowled.

"Not only has he managed that, but he also got me to promise not to skip any more meals and to only study for a maximum of two hours a night and not at all on weekends. Unless we have an exam and only for five hours on Sunday" Hermione grimaced. Ginny and Lavender stared at her with shocked looks on their faces.

"How did he manage to get you to promise that?" Lavender asked in awe.

"I don't really know" Hermione responded as she felt her face go red and she dropped her eyes to her breakfast, refusing to look at either of the two girls. A muffled laugh from beside her had her glancing up at her red haired friend. Ginny had a knowing grin on her face.

"Your sexy Slytherin boyfriend snogged it out of you didn't he" she smirked. Hermione flushed a deeper red as she nodded.

"It must be a Slytherin thing, Theo does it to me too" Lavender confided with a blush of her own.

"It could work both ways though, we could probably snog promises out of them" Ginny surmised causing Hermione and Lavender to laugh and nod in agreement.

"Give me another six months and I'll be shagging them out of Theo" Lavender stated bluntly with a wicked grin, causing Ginny and Hermione to stare at her in complete open mouthed shock. A spluttering cough had them all turning to see their three Slytherin boyfriends standing there in their quidditch uniforms. Blaise and Draco were staring with their mouths agape while Theo continued to splutter, his cheeks suspiciously pink.
