Wish to be Happy | Hermione Granger [1]

Chapter 2 - She Saved Me

TW: Very slight mentions of sex and swearing

Katerína's POV

I love quidditch. Quidditch is my happy place. When I am on that broom and zooming through the sky, I feel peaceful. It's a feeling I rarely get. The air brushing through my short red hair, calming me. It gives me a few minutes to escape life. I would give anything to escape this life permanently, but no one can escape life, so this is the best solution for the moment.

"Uhm... can you please quiet down." Ethan quietly said. (a/n Ethan is my own character) Ethan was the quidditch captain, and the only person I actually talk to. I don't have friends and don't want them either, but having a person to talk to from time to time does help with my loneliness. 

"HEY!" I screamed. Everyone's attention went on me, then I glanced at Ethan, showing that they should listen to him. Ethan was a great captain and all but he should really not be so nice all the time. "Thank you." He mumbled as I nodded in response.

Hermione's POV

I was quietly reading while Ronald was staring at Katerína. Even though this was Slytherin tryouts, he still insisted on coming. He had a small crush on her, it was obvious, but I still got this uncomfortable feeling in my stomach, like there was a hint of jealousy.

But that's not right. I don't like Ron like that. Nor do I like Katerína, not in that way, and she doesn't seem to like me either. I'm straight, and so is she, at least that's what I think.

"Ron, can we go now?" Harry asked in annoyance. "C'mon Harry, you gotta admit it. She's pretty. And great at quidditch. Maybe even better than you." That earned a playful hit from Harry.

"First of all, I am the best at quidditch." Harry joked while rolling his eyes. "Second of all-" Ron interrupted him. "You fancy my sister." He chuckled. "Ginny is pretty as well! And she is good at quidditch." I giggled under my breath. "RON WATCH OUT!"

Draco's POV

I was watching the Slytherin quidditch tryouts. I had to leave quidditch because I recently became a... death eater. I have a lot to focus on right now, and this would just be a distraction. 

"Alvárez looks really hot today." Blaise stated. "Eyes. Off." I angrily spat out. Katia and I used to date in 4th year. In 5th year, we were at a Slytherin party. I got a little too drunk and kissed Pansy. She broke up with me after that. She sounded hurt but looked like she couldn't care less. 

She f*cked Theo not long afterwards. Moved on pretty quickly for a person who claims that they care. She haven't actually dated anyone after that, just useless sex sometimes. "What are those three doing here?" Crabbe questioned, pointing at the 'golden trio'. "Look who Weasley is staring at." He was staring at Katia, my Katia.

I quickly pulled my wand and shot a spell at Weasley. I didn't know what I was thinking, but anger took over me. "EXPELLIARMUS!" The spell went flying towards him.

"RON WATCH OUT!" Potter screamed while jumping on Weasley so the spell didn't hit him. Instead it hit that mudblood, Granger, sitting right behind them. She went flying back and let out a loud scream. Oh no. I messed up.

Hermione's POV

I was falling. I was falling off of the bleachers. Everything must have been happening quickly in real life, but it felt like it was in slow motion from my point of view. Right when I was about to hit the ground, someone caught me. It was Katerína. "HOLD ON!" She screamed. I climbed on the broom, arms on her waist. *Crash*
