"Attention all students!  We are holding a quidditch scrimmage for all who are interested.  You dont have to be on a house team, it's just for fun.  Everyone can play since there are so few of you staying for the holidays.  If you want to play, I suggest you be on the field at noon!"  Professor McGonagal announced to the students in the great hall. 

"I'm going, what about you Hermione?"

"I don't know? Hermione said to Luna.  "I'm no good at flying!"  She looked over at the slytherain table. 

"Well no one here is really good, except Draco Malfoy!" Luna said convincingly. 

"What?" Hermione asked looking back at her friend.  Her cheeks were red. Had Luna noticed her staring.

"I said that no one is really good, so you should just try and play!" 

"Fine I'll see you later than!" Hermione stood up, walking out of the great hall.  Why did she agree?

*******

There was still a layer of snow covering the grounds as Hermione mad her way to the quidditch field, but there was an enchantment over the field itself that was almost like an invisible roof, keeping out the snow.  She walked nervously onto the field.  She had no idea what she was doing!  She had brought Ginny's broom with her, a nimbus 3000!  Maybe it would help?

Some people stood in the center.  Malfoy and Dean were wearing two different colored robes. 

"Ok it is 12 o clock......Malfoy and Dean are your captains, grab a quidditch uniform of either color of your team, once you are picked, and head to the locker rooms to change."  Madam pooch echoed over the field.

Luna stood next to Hermione, waiting to be picked.

"Blaise" Malyfoy said.

"Seamus"

"Nott"

"Luna"

"Macmillan"

"Creevey  "

"Corner"

"Bones"

"Granger" everyone went silent.
Pansy still was the only one left besides Hermione.  Everyone assumed it to be granger on deans and Parkinson on Malfoys. 

"Right then, that leaves Parkinson"

"We are short 2 people.  We need seven on each team!" Malfoy spat.

"Surely I could join!" Everyone turned there heads. 

"Is that? It's him....Oliver wood? And McLaggen."Everyone was whispering.  Oliver wood was making his way over to the students.  Cormac McLaggen appeared next to him. 

"But you guys graduated!"

"Well we are just visiting." McLaggen chimed in.

"I'll be on red!" Wood said moving over towards Dean. 

"Great that leaves me on green!" Cormac winked at Hermione.

Oh no! No way! This couldn't be happening! Cormac McLaggen was the one who had a crush on Hermione back in her sixth year. She tried as much as possible to avoid him back then,remembering the way he stared at her, especially at slughorns gatherings.

Everyone headed to the locker rooms and Hermione let out a breathe she didn't know she was holding in. This was going to be great! She thought sarcastically.

"Ok granger can you be a chaser?" Malfoy asked her, now that the others knew their positions.

Hermione looked at Malfoy, she knew nothing about quidditch really except the seeker. But she couldn't ask Malfoy for help! "Yeah I'll be a chaser!"
