A/N: I decided that since you all seem to love reading this novel of mine! I thought, hey. Why not have Christmas early! lol. So here's the next chapter with out the wait! Enjoy!
I awoke this morning pumped and ready for today’s match against Slytherin. I woke up a bit early and decided to go for a swim before heading down to breakfast. So I dressed in my swim trunks and headed down stairs to the pool. Luckily Hermione wasn’t downstairs as I passed the bulletin board checking if there were any new letters, scanning the board there were none, so I made my way to the bathroom door. The pool looked great and peaceful with the water reflecting off the walls from side windows piercing in sunlight. A little too peaceful, as I did cannonball to disturb the calm ripples that erupted to medium size waves bouncing off the sides of the pool. As I did a few laps in the pool, I heard the bathroom door open.
“Ron”Ron are you in here?” said Hermione as she made her way to the pool hearing someone splashing water. “Ron…Ron,”
I heard someone call me name, so I finished my lap and slowed down at the edge of the pool. I looked out of the water and I saw Hermione in a white spaghetti strap shirt with orange pajama pants, she had her hair up in a bun holding a towel.
“Yeah,” said Ron after catching his breath and wiped his face.
Hermione walked closer to the edge of the pool, “What are you doing up so early? You usually sleep in.” She placed her towel on the edge and sat on it.
“Good morning to you too,” said Ron shaking his head trying to get the water out of his ears.
“Sorry, morning,” as she messed up his hair even more with her hand.
“Oh, no you didn’t just mess up my hair,” as he glided his hand through his hair to pulling it back, showing a slick look.
She just stared at him, “Why what are you going to do about it?” He splashed water on her, as she screamed leaving her soaked from head to toe. He just stood there laughing in the pool, “Ron now you got me all soaked.”
He jumped out of the pool and headed towards the closet, coming back with a towel, “Sorry about that Hermione, here,” as he handed her the towel after she rung out her hair.
“Thanks,” as she took the towel but just stared at his rock hard abs slowly making her way up viewing his tight chest to a smile on his face as he stared at her shocked face.
“Hermione”are you alright,” waving his hand if front of her face, making her attention snap back.
“Uh…you look different,” she looked at him with a stunned look.
“What do you like what you see?” Her face just turned redder than his hair, “I guess that’s a yes,”
“Er, well it’s the first time I saw you without you shirt on,” as she walked up closer to him as he grabbed her waist, “and it’s turning me on,” as she placed her hand firmly on his chest.
Ron took a gulp, “really…” as he leaned down giving her a kiss as her hands glided down his abdomen and traveled around to his lower back. She broke the kiss slowly, and looked at him with a smile on his face.
“No,” she said letting go of him and made her way towards the door.
“Not even a little,” he yelled back at her as she tossed the towel over her shoulder.
“Maybe just a little,” calling back at him as she opened the door, “meet me down here in 5 minutes.”
Why did she leave me stranded again? I have to stop pushing her to fall for me because I keep coming up dry in the end. So I made my way upstairs to get dressed which was quite fast because when I came down, she wasn’t there yet. So after waiting, I don’t know how many minutes does it take a girl to get ready, she finally came down and we walked to the Great Hall.
Meeting the gang there, the Hall was packed with everyone talking loudly, very excited about today’s match. As for me I wasn’t nervous one bit as I began stuffing my face with food. Luna and her lions head hat came in the Hall which always made me laugh; I can’t believe she still wears that thing.
“Ron, look we got a letter from Mum and Dad,” said Ginny handing him an open letter.
Ron and Ginny,
Hope this letter finds you well, we just wanted to check on how you’re doing. I hope things with you and Hermione have patched up, Ginny wrote to us, keeping a track of how the both were doing”Ron gave Ginny a nasty look, in turn Ginny quickly turned to look at Harry”Well we wanted to write and tell you that your brother Percy and Penelope got married, nothing big and fancy. They send their best wishes to you and Hermione, also more good news.
Bill finally got engaged to Mae, and there expecting a baby in April or May. Their wedding will be in two weeks so your father and I will be going to Japan for the wedding. Charlie and Chablis, Percy and Penelope will be joining us for this occasion. Sorry for not telling you both sooner and no we are not taking you both out of school. Well write when we get there; take care of yourselves, both of you.
Love,
Mum and Dad
“Krystel I guess were related now, huh,” said Ron looking at over at Krystel who just nodded with a smile.
“Hey Harry, Ron,” called a 6th year Gryffindor boy, he has brown hair with hazel eyes, came walking up to them followed by three others.
“Jason, what are you all doing here early we have three more hours till game time,” said Harry putting down his fork on his plate.
“We just wanted to come and have an early start,” said a short and stocky boy with his black hair in a ponytail. “If that’s alright with you? Because we really want to beat Slytherin!”
Harry stood up from his seat, “Asher, now that’s what I’m talking about! So let’s go then,” as he bent down to kiss Ginny before he left the table. “Ron come on let’s get going,”
Ron just looked at him as a piece of meat fell out of his mouth, “W”what…we-re going now,” as he swallowed his food.
“Yes get up,” scolded Harry, motioning him to leave with the team.
“Now…” said Ron, as the team followed Harry away from the table and almost out the door before he called out to Jason and Spencer.
“Can you two go get him please,” said Harry as the two of them turned around and walked over to lift Ron of his seat, but not before he could reach for more food with his hands.
We got dressed in our team uniforms; it felt great putting it on. After prepping my broom I walked into the meeting room to hear the longest and boring pep talk, it was bad enough hearing it from Angelina but it was a hundred times worst hearing it from Harry. Staring at Harry and then changed my attention around the room, I guess I was the only person that wasn’t absorbing every bit of information that Harry was dishing out. Jason and Spencer”the Beaters”kept tightening their grip on their clubs every time Harry kept mentioning how they should attack the Chasers with the bludgers.
Ginny just stood there beaming at Harry like there was no tomorrow, I guess she wasn’t paying any attentions since she kept sighing a lot. Next to her was Penny a 6th year with brownish blonde long hair, which she kept in a braid so that it wouldn’t rip in her face, she was also a Chaser with Ginny. Then there was a boy, Asher, who’s a 5th year. He was roughly the same height as Ginny, with spiked black hair, who was also a Chaser. After a few minutes of Harry’s game plan, he finally dismissed the team to walk to the field. Harry led the team to the field and lined everyone up to take off.
“It’s time, Good Luck everyone,” said Harry mounting his broom as he watched the Gryffindor banner rise. The team took off onto the field.
“Here comes the Gryffindor team, lead by Captain Harry Potter,” said Colin Creevey, the commentary for the match, “this year Harry feels confident in his team after only replacing a Chaser and Beater from last year spectacular team that brought the Quidditch Cup home.” Harry flew his team around the field doing laps.
“Now, here comes the Slytherin team, lead by Captain Draco Malfoy,” as the Slytherin team flew onto the field, “Draco’s team may be big in size, but I hope that the Gryffindors don’t feel too intimidated by them.” Both teams came together in the middle of the field while the Keepers went the goal post.
Madam Hooch was refereeing today’s match. She stood in the middle of the field waiting for both teams to get situated. She placed her broom on the ground next to her.
“I want a nice fair game, from all of you,” she shouted as she kicked open the ball box, releasing the Bludgers and the golden snitch. She grabbed the Quaffle into her right and pulled her silver whistle to her lips. Then a loud blast went off as the Quaffle was released into the air.
“And there off, Penny from the Gryffindor team has the Quaffle in hand soaring towards the Slytherin post dodging two Chasers and a bludger by Goyle,” announced Colin in the speaker, “she passes the Quaffle to Ginny before Penny got hit from Mark”on the Slytherin team”now Ginny gets closer to the keeper, fakes a shot to the Slytherin Keeper and quickly passes it to Asher…score! Ten points for Gryffindor zero for Slytherin.” Asher punched the wind in excitement and flew over to Penny giving a high five.
“Now the Quaffle is back in the air, this time taken by Slytherin Brad who passes to player Cory who gets hit by a Bludger from behind, from Gryffindor Jason, drops the Quaffle and then taken by Ginny. She doing a great job”after scoring 7 goals average in a game from last years stats”she passes the Quaffle off to teammate Asher and”no Slytherin have intercepted the pass, by Brad who makes his way towards the Gryffindor goal post it looks like he’s going to sc”no, stopped by an excellent move by Gryffindor Keeper Ronald Weasley and the Gryffindors take the Quaffle”Chaser Penny Martineau takes the Quaffle, nice spin dive around Slytherin Brad, and makes her way to the goal”Ouch”that must have hurt, hit in the back by a Bludger given by Crabbe. Slytherin now with the Quaffle flying towards the Gryffindor post”isn’t that the Snitch”now Slytherin Cory is wide opens for a shot after dodging a Bludger sent by Spencer, will he score. No, Slytherin is denied again by Keeper Ron who throws the Quaffle to a teammate, as Asher has the Quaffle making his way down to the Slytherin post. Nice play by Beater Jason who sent a Bludger soaring, now he’s really flying”dodges a speeding Bludger”and the goal post are ahead”Keeper Phil dives for a block”misses”GRYFFINDOR SCORES!”
Cheers from the crowd roared for the Gryffindors as moans from the Slytherins. A few minutes past and there was no sign of Harry and Malfoy searching for the snitch as I made my 5th block of the game. I’m getting closer and closer to winning the bet, as another Quaffle came soaring to the goal post, blocked with out even breaking a sweat.
Gryffindor is leading seventy to zero, when Harry finally saw the snitch, he and Malfoy raced neck and neck, then attempted to do a fifty foot dive for the Snitch. Both went after the Snitch with a dive as a Quaffle came flying out of no where, as I my attention snapped back just in time to block the Quaffle”one more and I win”flying the Quaffle to Ginny. Ginny soared off passing Cory and a Bludger which almost hit her, but dropped the Quaffle in the attempted of dodging the Bludger.
Brady from the Slytherin was heading my way, but passed the Quaffle to Greg who races his way to the goal post, it seems that they are going to double team me. Both of them rhythmically passed the Quaffle back and forth, keeping an eye on the Quaffle, until one threw it. I turned my broom around racing the Quaffle towards the post stretching my arm out to block the ball…
A loud blast from a whistle went off, “GRYFFINDOR WINS!” shouted Madam Hooch.
“There you have it people, our first ‘SHUTOUT’ in over nine years at Hogwarts breaking the old record scoring. The game ends with Gryffindor 270 and Slytherin nothing. Better luck next year Slytherin!” shouted Colin who’s excitement was greater than anyone sitting in the stands with him.
Harry flew to the ground still holding the Snitch in his hand; Ron flew down to meet him as he held the Quaffle in his arm. “I guess it’s a tie then,” said Harry putting his free hand on Ron’s shoulder, as he did the same. Students from every opening of the field raced to meet the team. Harry and Ron rose up on people’s shoulders as they carried them off the field to the castle.
“Party in the Gryffindor Common Room,” shouted Harry over the crowd, as the cheers grew louder.
The party is Awesome, there was so much food there that Dobby and Winky brought from the kitchen. The party never seemed to die down and more and more students began flooding in the common room. I finally found Hermione sitting on a chair talking to Ginny, Luna and a girl I didn’t know of.
“Hey guys,” said Ron walking towards them. He bent down and gave Hermione a kiss on the lips.
“Hey guys were still here you know,” said Ginny angrily watching her brother make out in front of her, he lifted his hand up holding his index finger up to her. Their kiss grew deeper and more passionately.
Hermione finally leaned back breaking the kiss gasping for air, “wow…that was great,” she whispered to him. Ron picked Hermione up from her chair and took a seat with her on him.
“So, Hermione who’s this new person that you all are talking too,” said Ron as he looked over at a girl with brown hair with blonde highlights which flowed off her shoulder. As she sat there she quickly glanced at him which he could see that she had hazel-green eyes.
“This is Lucy Connolly, she just got sorted in Gryffindor this year, and for some reason she’s been dying to meet you,” jumped in Ginny, who looked at Lucy, who started blushing.
Lucy calmed down a bit and decided to talk, “Hi, I am like your biggest fan”well not big in a way”but I totally love Quidditch. My family brought me and my older brother up playing Quidditch. My father and older brother play for the Irish National Quidditch Team,”
Ron’s face went into shock, “Excuse me…can you repeat the last four words,” as he stared wide eye at her.
“Irish…National…Quidditch Team,” said Lucy slowly with a confused look on her face as she turned to Luna who just shrugged her shoulder with no answer. Ron’s jaw just dropped when the words came out.
“Let me help you there Lucy,” as Hermione closed Ron’s jaw and kissed his cheek, his attention came back to him.
“Sorry about that, Hermione,” he said giving her a kiss on her hand. “Wow, so your father and brother play on the same team?”
Lucy just nodded, “My father retired this year and helps coach the team now, but my older brother is a Keeper, like you. That’s why I’m such a big fan; I loved your last block. It was amazing, I held my breath the whole time leaning off the edge of the wall, when the Quaffle was released from the Slytherin guy’s hands and flew towards the third goal post. That catch was too close, I thought it was going to go in, but you stopped it!”
Ron’s face turned as red as his ruffled hair listening to Lucy give a play-by-play action of the match, “I don’t like to brag, but yeah, I am good aren’t I,” as his hand brushed his uniform, think that he was a show off. Ron’s head swung forward, “Ouch,”
“That’s what you get for having such a big head,” said Hermione as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Ron just massaged the back of his head with his hand. His attention turned to someone trying to yell over the noise.
Dobby and Winky came through the portrait pushing in carts of Butterbeer and Pumpkin Juice for everyone to grab. Harry picked up a few bottles followed by Neville and Krystel who handed a bottle to Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Lucy and I. I took the bottle from Harry who motioned me to stand up, so Hermione came off my lap and stood next to me as I grabbed her hand.
“Everyone”quiet down,” shouted Harry as several students turned their attention to him, “Can I have everyone’s attention please.” This time everyone in the common room was listening to what Harry had to say. “Thanks again everyone for being here to support us in today’s match…”
Here we go again, one of his famous speeches. I hope this time it’s not to long, and dragging.
“Speech, speech,” yelled a 6th year Ravenclaw boy by the stairs.
“I’m getting there… well I just wanted to point out our team to you and thank them personally. Jason and Spencer stand up,” said Harry pointing at two bulky guys standing by the stairs holding a Butterbeer who stood feeling a little awkward. “We just recruited Spencer this year and he’s doing a great job at it, just like his older brother. These two are the best Beaters next to the Weasley Twins I’ve ever had the privilege to have playing for Gryffindor, to Jason and Spencer!” He raised his bottle in the air and drank to them.
“To Jason and Spencer,” the room chorused while raising a drink.
Harry looked around the Common Room, “Okay where’s Penny, Asher, and Ginny” he called, Ginny slapped him in the arm as he turned around and laughed a bit, then put his arms around her shoulder. “This year we found someone to replace Greg who graduated last year, and what better person to replace him then his cousin Penny, who makes the winning trio who scored Gryffindor today 120 points, to Penny, Asher and Ginny!” as everyone raised their bottles and took a sip.
“To Penny, Asher and Ginny,” shouted everyone raising there drinks again.
I motioned to get regain their attention, just as I was doing so Neville, Krystel, Luna, Harry, Ginny and Hermione shouted, “Weasley is Our King” as I glared at them which they started laughing.
“Okay, very funny. Now, it my turn to say something” Harry, the Captain of Our Team,” cheers began to arise, “Who crushed Malfoy today by seizing the snitch within his grasp,” applause and cheers grew louder as he motioned them to quiet down, “ and who’s going to win us the Quidditch Cup for the third time in a row! Can I get an Amen!”
“Amen” echoed throughout the room.
“Now to the MVP of today’s game, Ron!” Harry started again, as Ron felt embarrassed. “This man right here pushed us further into the lead of winning the Quidditch Cup this year by placing a ‘Shut-out’ today!” as he patted Ron on the back. “Weasley is Our King!” Harry shouted.
“Weasley is our King, Weasley is our King, He didn’t let the Quaffle in, Weasley is our King…Weasley can save anything, He never leaves a single ring, that’s why Gryffindors all sing; Weasley is our King.” Everyone sang, but ended in different times.
Harry tried to silence everyone and when he finally got their attention he shouted, “Now every one has to leave before Professor McGonagall comes in here and starts to give us all detention, and make it quick so that Ginny and I can have vigorous sex, with out all the noise!”
Ginny didn’t find it funny as she slapped Harry in the back of the head, while I just stood there shocked that he said that. Everyone who heard either stared in awe, or left immediately. After a few minutes of helping to clean the common room, Hermione and I left to patrol the halls for a few minutes. When it was a quarter to ten, we headed back to our common room.
“Look Hermione, Snuffles is playing in the grass,” said Ron running up towards the portrait, “Snuffles come here, Snuffles where are you? There you are…” He started to play around with the picture seeing the black dog jump up and down in the portrait.
“Ron stop playing around with the portrait and open it,” said Hermione tapping her foot as she watched him jump up and down like the black dog.
Ron soon stopped as Hermione’s foot taps grew louder, “what, can’t I play with Snuffles?” as he scratched behind the black dog’s ears and the portrait swung outward.
“Yes, but not now, I’m tired and you haven’t changed out of your Quidditch uniform,” she said she walking to the stairs. “Night Ron,”
“Good night,” said Ron as he made his way towards the bathrooms to take a quick shower before he went to bed.
