Quidditch

Thursday, April 11th, 1996

Hermione knew that Draco wasn't cheating on her; she knew that she should be mad at him, she just didn't know what over, so she chose an easy route.

he was lying to her about something. She knew that she was being cruel, but he deserved it.

As she sat down for breakfast the very morning of their argument, she avoided eye contact with him, which was easy since she didn't sit by herself anymore.

His gaze burned her, so she excused herself from the table to go to class.

-------------------------------------------

"Draco?" said Blaise, snapping his fingers under Draco's nose.

"What?" said Draco, annoyed.

"I asked if you were ready for the quidditch game this evening?"

Oh no thought Draco. He had completely forgotten about quidditch, between plotting Dumbledores death, and being with Hermione, he was fully booked. He had no time to think about things like quidditch.

"Draco!" said Blaise, he had drifted off again.

"Yup!" replied and annoyed Draco, and with that, he followed in Hermione's steps and headed to class.

The day flew by, and before Draco knew it, he was heading down to the Slytherin changerooms by the pitch.

The Slytherin team had entered the pitch. They all shuffled into their places. The Ravenclaw team and been waiting, they had been early.

Madamne Hooch walked up. 'You guys clear on the rules?" They all nodded. "Good, mount your brooms please!"

They all clambered onto their brooms. Draco took this moment to scan the crowd. A lot of people had shown up. It looked as if the whole school was there. He looked fore Hermione, but couldn't find her.

14 brooms shot into the air. leaving Draco on the ground. He hadn't been paying attention. He hadn't heard the whistle.

"And Malfoy is off the a slow start!" commentated Lee Jordan.

Draco cursed him under his breathe; he would have to get Jordan for that later.

Wizards and Witches were flying up and down the pitch. Draco got higher than the rest, so that he could clearly see the pitch, keeping an eye out for the Golden snitch.

Just then, he spotted a head of bushy, brown hair: Hermione. The Gryffindor stared back at him. He broke contact and went zooming to the other side, so that he could keep his back to her. Throughout the whole game Draco could feel Hermione's eyes on him.

Half an hour later the score was still 0 to 0. Then Draco saw it. A rush of unmistakeable gold, he homed in on it and darted towards it. The Ravenclaw seeker had seen Draco move, and darted in the same direction. But, he was too late, for Draco already head the snitch in his hands. The game was over. Slytherin had won!

He whopped in delight, and punched his fist in the air.

The Slytherin team came and picked him up, carrying him to their common room for a post game party.

Draco got sick of the music almost immediately. Sure, he loved the attention, but their was only one person her desired to celebrate his victory with. only one who's company he craved.

He snuck out and headed for the owlry.

Dearest Hermione:

Give me a second chance...

Yours truly,

D.M

When Hermione had finished reading the letter, she knew exactly what Draco wanted her to do.

-------------------------------------------------------

Draco was pleased when he didn't have to wait long for Hermione.

She came through the door and locked it. She stood in front of it, as if to tease him, but nothing in her expression suggested humor.

They stared each other down for a long time.

Then, as is a switch had been flipped, they flew at each other, unable to control themselves.

They passionately kissed, Draco groaned against her lips in delight.

He vowed then, and there, to take every third day off from his missions, and never to make Hermione wait ever again.

Because every harry potter fan fiction needs a quidditch scene.

I want to make the plot go a little darker after this.
