The Day He Stole My Heart *COMPLETED*

Chapter 7-Wins and Loses

SCARLET'S POV
Monday came faster than Hermione wanted; today was tryouts and even though Ron was supposed to stay in bed and rest he was already eager to get this thing over with. We walked to the Great Hall and saw Ron, Harry and Jake all sitting together while eating some bacon and toast with some pumpkin juice. We walk over and sit down
"I'm just nervous guys" Ron stated; biting his nails and barely eating.
"You should be fine; besides...I have this!" Harry takes out a small clear vile and puts it in his hand
"Is that what I think it is?" Hermione asked; Harry turned and nodded at us.
"What is it?" Alexis asked; sitting down beside us.
"It's a pride potion" Hermione replied; Alexis and I gasped.
"That's cheating! Ron you're not going to take that are you?" I asked; Ron looked from us to the vile before drinking it. In the matter of seconds his face changes from nervous to smiling as he gets up and grabbed the last piece of toast.
"Well what are we waiting for? We have tryouts to go to" Ron exclaimed; walking out of the Great Hall with confidence. I saw Lavender Brown staring at him lovely as she waved at him as he walked by; he smiled and waved but looked confused as Lavender and her friends squealed. I looked over and saw Hermione glaring her way as she finished her breakfast.
"You okay?" I asked; she snapped her head towards me before smiling; though it looked forced.
"I'm fine; great actually" she replied
"Don't lie; we saw you give Lavender that death stare" Alexis joined; Hermione hesitated before sighing.
"I just hate when she stares at Ron like that; and he's so oblivious that she likes her it's frustrating!" she yelled; causing Harry and Jake to look at her
"And you! How could you give him that vile? That's cheating! What's going to happen when it's his first game? Are you going to whip up another vile before that starts?" Hermione exclaimed; Harry just laughed.
"Do you actually think that I would let Ron cheat?" he asked; we looked at him confused as Hermione calmed down.
"What?" Alexis asked; Harry shook his head.
"I replaced the potion with water; he's only feeling confident because he thinks he has the potion in his system when really that's just him" Harry finished
"Wow Harry I didn't know you could be that smart" I teased; Harry rolled his eyes before flipping me off

"Whatever; let's head to the courtyard; we don't want to be late

We arrived in the courtyard and saw everyone already there; oops. Harry went over to the others as Hermione; Alexis; Jake and I walked to the stands before sitting down.
"Alright guys so these tryouts are going to be like any other game; we'll have chasers, beaters, and keepers. Whoever is trying out for which will go in a different spot on the court" he then proceeded to call out different names and put them in groups; but I heard one name that caught my interest.
Cormac McLaggen
I looked over at Hermione and saw her cringe when he made eye contact with her and winked. He walked over to where Ron was (I guess they both want to be keepers) and they exchanged conversation before Ron made a grim face and looked towards us.
"Alright guys get into position!" Harry yelled as he flew up to where the seeker was supposed to be. A whistle blew and they were off. A girl named Amelia immediately got the quaffle and flew towards Ron's net before scoring. Ron gripped the broom harder as another quaffle came at him but he missed again giving twenty points to the other team.
"Come on Ron" Hermione whispered; we looked over and saw someone else had gotten the quaffle and threw it towards the other net where Cormac was; he easily caught it with one hand and threw it back to one of his players. This went on for a while; Cormac catching every attempt and Ron missing. He was getting frustrated and looked so angry as Cormac looked over at Hermione and blew her a kiss before flying away and catching another quaffle.
"I hate this; Ron is so much better than this! We need to do something" I exclaimed; Alexis nodded with me as Hermione sighed
"I know but what?" she replied; she looked deep in thought for a second before snapping her fingers and taking out her wand and hiding it between her legs.
"Hermione what are you doing?" Jake asked
"Just....Giving Cormac a taste of his own medicine" she replied; she then whispered a spell that headed towards Cormac. We waited for a moment as nothing happened. We all sighed before watching another quaffel come his way; but instead of grabbing it his broom goes the other way as the quaffle goes through one of the hoops.
"And that's ten points!" we all smiled at each other before watching the rest of the game.
Every time Cormac tried to save and catch the ball he couldn't and missed; earning another point to the other team. I watched Ginny grab the quaffle from Dean Thomas and fly towards where Cormac was; scoring once more. I knew Ginny would make the team; she was so much better than everyone else.
