Second Chance At L♡VE

Quidditch Gme

October 19th 2001

Hermione and Draco have kept in touch going for a drink now and again. Trying to talk on the phone at least once a week to discuss the book they are reading or just life in general. Considering how much traveling Draco is doing do to his new store opening up in France. As well as practice for the new season of quidditch. Draco does not have much free time. While Hermione is training her new intern. Since the other one had been promoted to another department. They have not seen each other in person for about two weeks. She misses talking to him in person because he is one the few people who can get her out of her own mind. But the game Draco invited her to was coming up and she couldn't wait.

Hermione was getting ready for the quidditch game tonight. She even left work early and she never left work early. She got home showered fixed her hair the best she could and even put on some makeup. She put on winter boots, dark tight jeans and the team sweater she had bought when Draco invited her. She even bought the sweater with Draco's team number on it. There is a nock on the door as she grabs her house keys and sticks her wand in her boot. She opens the door to see Harry and Ginny there also wearing team sweaters but they have Oliver Wood's number. Ginny turns Hermione around to see she has Draco's number and just smiles at her.

They arrive at the stadium and they are directed to a private V.I.P. box. They see Draco there with an two older woman and a little boy. Then they see it is his mother Andromeda Tonks and Teddy. Teddy runs to Harry and hugs him "Your here. Yay. Hi godmother Ginny and Mione... What is she to me" Teddy ask for the thousand time. "Can you be my cousin. Like Draco." Teddy says even when he is three he speaks very well. "Well I can't be your cousin Teddy. I am not related to your family." Hermione tries to explain. "... I got it you can marry my cousin Draco and then you can be related." Teddy says in his sweet voice. Making Hermione and Draco blush. "Why are they red Nanna?" Teddy ask. "Oh your luck your cute by boy." Andromeda says. Taking Teddy.

Hermione turns to look at Draco. He is already in his quidditch uniform and looks good. Draco goes hugs them and is when Hermione notices that with out heels Draco is five inches taller then her. Her head barely reaches his chin. "Good to see you all were able to come." Draco says as another voice is behind them says. "Nice sweater Granger. But of course I just got you a drink. He rescued you from a bad guy." Wood says making sure not to swear in front of Teddy. Hermione blushes when she sees Draco notice she is wearing his number. "She has Draco's number and she still won't marry him." Teddy says shaking his head. Everyone smiles.

Narcissa gets up to introduce herself and break the awkward tension Teddy build. Since the first time they met was not the best nor any other time. "Is good to see you Granger. I heard you are going up in the Ministry. Keep it up and you might be running it someday. It be about time for a woman to take control." Narcissa says. In that moment a house elf comes in. The thing that has Hermione surprise is she is wearing the cutes little Puddlemere United jersey. "Mrs. Weasley made it for her." Draco says. "Your telling me she is a free elf?" Hermione ask.

Narcissa is one to answer her question "All of our house elves are. Mostly all of them stayed after we freedom. Her name is Winkey" Narcissa says as Hermione's eye widen. "Why are you so surprise Hermione. You started it all. Since we were at Hogwarts and aren't you fighting for their rights?" Draco says "Yeah but is still not processed." Hermione says "Well we all know people do what other do. So why not start with one of the most well known wizarding families to fallow behind your idea." Draco says as Hermione does not know what to do. Or more like she does. She want to kiss him but why does she even desire this. "By the way nice sweater. I hear he is a rather good quidditch player." Draco says smiling at her as she blushes.

Draco takes out his wand. "Let me sign it. Turn around." Draco says. "Is okay Draco. You don't have to." Hermione says giggling. "Hermione let me sign it." Draco says Hermione turns and let him sign it. "My number looks good on you." Draco whispered as she fells his warm breath on her neck. Draco is about to leave when Hermione stops him. "Hey Draco. Good luck out there tonight. Don't get to hurt." Hermione says as she is about to kiss his cheek but Draco turns and she ends up kissing him on his lips. They pull away and neither one says a word. As Draco leaves Hermione gets the feeling she is starting to see Draco Malfoy as more then a friend.

Hermione thinks no one saw that kiss between her and Draco but Narcissa and her sister just smile at each other. The game starts and is great. Hermione is having a great time as Wood stops almost all the goals. The real excitement begins when Draco and the other team seeker are behind the snitch. Is about fifteen minuets of yelling and anxiety but soon enough Draco catches is it. "Draco Malfoy has cough the snitch. Puddlemere United wins 370 to 200." Lee Jorden says.

Andromeda and Teddy leave because Teddy has fallen asleep as soon as Draco cough the snitch. Everyone else makes it to the private lounge area where Draco and his teammates are been interviewed. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Ginny Weasley, Harry Potter and well you know what you are Granger." Pansy says. "How did you three get in here." Pansy ask as if she is ready to call security. "My son invited them Parkinson. But I do believe he did not invite you." Narcissa says. "Wow he really has lost it. But will he come back around and that day he will see who he need to be with. Till then I will let him have his one night stands. Even if it is with a mudblood." Pansy says as Narcissa calls for security to escort her out. "I apologize Hermione." Narcissa says but Hermione smiles. "Is okay Mrs. Malfoy..." Hermione says till Narcissa stops her. "Narcissa please." Narcissa asks. "Well Narcissa. Is fine she can call me what ever she wants. A great woman once said. 'No one can make you feel inferior. With out your consent.' and I will be dammed if I let her make me feel inferior. I know the woman I am and what I am worth." Hermione says as Narcissa hugs her. "Your truly are wonderful young woman." she says.

Minuets later Draco joins them. "Hey everyone. I am sorry but Rita Skeeter is piece of work." Draco say as they hear her come again. But she sees Hermione and they have a staring contest. "Ms. Granger." Skeeter says looking away. "Skeeter. I do believe your interview time ended few second ago." Hermione says as Skeeter excuses herself. "Wow. Your coming with me everywhere. How did you do that?" Draco asks. "Oh she has something on her. Now that Hermione is Kingsley right hand she won't get near her." Ginny says. "Well what ever it was thanks. By the way you are all invited to the quidditch Halloween party." Draco says as Ginny shakes her head. "Sorry Malfoy but I have my own teams party and Harry is also coming. So we can't go. Hermione will have to go for us." Ginny says as Draco smiles. Because she is the one he truly wanted to go.
