The week had gone along without a hitch. Hermione didn't have to sneak around nearly as much since her best friends new about Draco. It didn't stop Ron from mumbling obscenities under his breath whenever Hermione went out on patrols, but he did apologize and was making an honest effort to make it up to her. Harry had gotten a bit more protective whenever Draco was around. Harry had never said a word to him about the compromising position Hermione and he had been found in, but it was silently understood between the two. Ginny had abandoned her initial fretting over their relationship and returned to her nosy happy self.
Hermione poured over her daily prophet scoffing every few minutes. "The nerve..." She grumbled.
Ron sat down across from her shaking as if he had seen a ghost. She peered over her paper worried. "Are you okay?"
"He's just a bit nervous." Harry replied reaching over Hermione to grab a pitcher of pumpkin juice. He poured himself a glass. "Want some?" He asked raising the pitcher. She nodded and smiled as he poured her one.
"Maybe if you eat something it will help you feel a little better, Ron." She said pushing a plate of toast at him. He grabbed a piece and nervously nibbled it. "First game of the season and I'm still rubbish." Ron whined.
Harry rolled his eyes. "We've never lost to Slytherin before, and we won't today either." Harry said.
Hermione nodded in agreement. She was looking forward to the match, although this time she had to watch her best friend go head-to-head with her proverbial Slytherin seeker boyfriend. She chuckled to herself, never had she imagined this would happen. She held up her pumpkin juice, "To Griffindor!" She yelled. "No snake has a chance against a lion!"
Fred and George let out a loud howl holding up their glasses. Everyone else began to follow suit. Hermione glanced over her shoulder to the Slytherin table to see Draco shaking his head mouthing "Not a chance," to her. She turned back taking a sip of juice. She immediately spat it out screwing her face up.
"Are you okay?" Ginny asked rubbing her back.
Hermione wiped her mouth with a napkin and shuddered from the taste. "That is horrid. It must have expired or someone spiked it."
"I poured it from the same pitcher as mine. Give it here." Harry took the glass from her and took a sip. "Tastes fine to me." He shrugged setting it back on the table. "C'mon Ron. Let's head down to the pitch and start getting ready."
Ron stood up on wobbly legs, his face had turned a sick green color, and a thin sheen of sweat lay over his forehead. "You'll do great." Hermione smiled squeezing his arm as he passed.
"I'm going to head back to the tower to grab my scarf." She said to Ginny standing up. Ginny raised an eyebrow. "Sure you are." Hermione laughed swatting her with her Daily Prophet. "I'll meet you down at the pitch." Hermione called over her shoulder.
The walk up to Gryffindor tower felt like it took forever. All the while she tried not to gag from the awful after taste of the pumpkin juice. She quickly darted to the bathroom as soon as she scuttled through the portrait hole and dry heaved into the toilet. After a few minutes of retching she was able to compose herself and scrub her teeth until the taste was gone.
Draco had been waiting for five minutes around the corner from Gryffindor tower. He had already changed into his quidditch robes with his broom propped up on the wall next to him. Hermione ran down the hall trying to secure a red and gold ribbon around her ponytail when she saw him.
"I was starting to get worried." He said pecking her on the lips. "Sorry about that. I think I had some bad pumpkin juice."
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked brushing the back of his hand against her cheek.
"Yes, I'm fine." She smiled still fumbling with the ribbon. "Turn around I'll get it." Draco laughed swishing his wand tying the ribbon to her ponytail. He pulled her back up against his chest, and placed a soft kiss just under her ear.
"I really do need to head down there before people come looking for me." He whispered in her ear making no move to release her. Hermione sighed. "I guess." She pouted.
He spun her around to face him gently pushing his lips to hers. Hermione felt herself go slack against his hard body deepening the kiss. Draco pulled away breathless, a smirk playing across his lips. "Good luck." She gave him one last soft peck breaking their embrace. "You're going to need it." She teased walking away.
He arched an eyebrow and chuckled.

The stands were packed by the time Hermione made it down to the quidditch pitch. A sea of gold and red sat to one end while a chanting group of green and silver sat on the other. A short red-haired girl leapt up and down frantically waving from the center of the Gryffindor stands. She was relieved to see Ginny and Luna had saved her a seat, even though she already knew they would.
Hermione squeezed through the crowd of screaming spectators and took her seat between them. "Ron looks like he's going to hurl." Ginny yelled into her ear over the roar of fans as the quidditch players took the field. He was trembling worse than he had been earlier that morning. He kicked off hovering in front of the Gryffindor rings his eyes darting around looking at the stands. Harry and Draco had taken their places glaring at each other as Madam Hooch made her way to center field. Ginny looked over at Hermione and laughed. "You're guy knows he doesn't stand a chance, right?" Hermione stuck her tongue out and turned her attention back to the pitch.
"That is so diplomatic of you, Hermione." Luna said absently. Hermione cocked her head to the side confused. "Your bow. It's lovely."
Hermione snatched the bow out of her hair and stared at it irritated. Draco had changed the colors of her ribbon to green and silver while he was helping her tie it. Ginny gave her a questioning look. "Malfoy." Hermione mouthed. Ginny shook her head giggling. Madam Hooch sounded the whistle.
Blurs of red, gold, green, and silver darted around the air. Ron hovered lamely in front of the hoops. A large chaser from Slytherin raced towards him with an awful grin on his face. Ron threw his hands up just to have the quaffle zoom between them and right into the center hoop. Ginny cringed putting her face in her hands. "C'mon Ron!" Hermione yelled.
Ron had lost whatever little nerve he had left letting two more goals through. The Slytherins cheered Ron on laughing at his misses. The Gryffindors groaned in unison as another quaffle made it through the left hoop. "Harry's found it!" Ginny screamed shaking Hermione's arm. The whole of Gryffindor stood roaring.
Draco was hot on Harry's tail as they dove towards the little gold ball hovering a few feet off of the ground. They were neck and neck. Both had an arm stretched out ready to snatch it out of the air. "GO HARRY!" Ginny and Hermione yelled. Just because Hermione was dating the Slytherin seeker didn't mean her house loyalties lay with him.
Harry pulled up quickly, his fist in the air holding the snitch. The Gryffindors stomped their feet causing the stands to shake as if an earthquake had hit the grounds. Ginny and Hermione jumped up and down hugging and yelling out. They quickly pushed through the crowd to get onto the pitch to congratulate their friends.
***
Harry grabbed Ron's arm and drug him towards the rest of their team. "I almost cost us the game." Ron whined trying to pull away.
"Stop being a baby. We won! You did fantastic for your first game." Harry lied.
Ron groaned as his brothers, Fred and George, pulled him into the line of celebrating Gryffindors. They shook him violently cheering. Ron couldn't help but yell out with them. They had won regardless of his blunders. He loosened up getting ready to shake hands with the lot of disgruntled Slytherins in front of him.
Draco was furious. Losing to Gryffindor was bad enough without watching Ron laugh at their defeat. Something about his smug expression and Hermione's cheers for him had him on edge. He knew that logically she was going to cheer for her house and it had nothing to do with Ron. It still didn't stop him from getting irritated.
Ron reached out to grab Draco's hand still laughing. "Think you won, do you?" He seethed.
"Uh yea, jealous?" Ron snarked.
Draco pulled Ron closer so that they were nose to nose. "Why would I be? I've got money, good looks, and the witch of your dreams." He sneered.
Ron's face turned a violent shade of red as he yanked his hand from Draco's. Draco knew Ron still had a thing for Hermione, and watching him work himself into a rage over her being with him was very amusing.
"Go fuck yourself, Malfoy."
Draco raised his eyebrows smirking "I don't have to."
Ron lunged towards Draco. Harry and Fred held him back confused. "What the fuck is your problem?" Harry snapped at Ron. The team captain, Angelina, grabbed Ron's arm and yanked him back. "Go cool down, now!" She ordered. Ron reluctantly turned and made his way back towards the locker room mumbling under his breath.
Hermione and Ginny ran up to the team just as Ron slumped off. "What the hell was that all about?" Ginny asked George. "Dunno." He shrugged.
Draco turned to walk away just as Crabbe, one of his goons, shouted, "That's right! Go run back to your fat old ugly mum, Weasley!" Draco let out an exasperated sigh and made his way back over to Crabbe. Harry grabbed ahold of Fred while Angelina and another chaser latched onto George to keep them from charging. "Just walk away." Hermione pleaded with them.
"I bet it smells like old dragon ass in their house." Goyle, the other goon, guffawed. "That's why Potter likes it there so much. The stench reminds him of his filthy mum."
Draco had just squeezed between Crabbe and Goyle as Harry landed a solid punch to the side of Draco's face by mistake. Harry and Fred fell onto the three of them with fists flying. Madam Hooch yelled out jinxing everyone into place. Draco sat on the ground with a bloodied lip while Harry and Fred were frozen in mid punch. "To your head of houses now! The lot of you!" She shrieked.

Harry and Fred trudged into the common room fuming. Harry threw his cloak into an armchair and kicked the wall. "I got a fucking life-long ban from quidditch for punching Malfoy in the face." Hermione gasped jumping out of her chair and running over to him.
"You have to be joking!! McGonagal would never do something like that!" She said putting a hand on his back.
"Apparently, Umbridge can now discipline every student as she sees fit, regardless of their house. Hence the ban." Harry said his body quivering from pure anger.
"Both of us." Fred growled. "Oh yea, hey George!" He yelled.
"Yea?"
"You're banned too."
"I didn't even fucking hit anybody!" George barked.
"Apparently if one twin is 'violent' so is the other." Fred snarled flopping down on the couch nearest the fire. George grumbled sitting beside him. "If I'd known that I would have bloodied his face before the game and made this worth it."
"To be fair, Dra... Malfoy wasn't the one spouting off at the mouth." Hermione said making her way back to her seat.
Ron jumped up angry. "You didn't hear what that bastard said about you!" Ginny grabbed him by his hair. "Talk about it later, you fucking idiot." She hissed in his ear.
The rest of the common room looked up at Ron expectantly, waiting for him to spill the beans. Ginny let go of his hair and cleared her throat. "He called Hermione a mudblood." She announced to their housemates in her best angry voice.
"Nice save." Ron muttered under his breath.
The common room was buzzing in anger over the ban of, not only their seeker, but their two beaters as well. Obscenities could be heard from every corner of the room, and continued up the stairwell as people went up to bed. It didn't take nearly as long as Harry, Ron, and Hermione thought it would for the common room to empty out. Even Ginny had worked herself up into complete exhaustion and went to bed early.
"Tell me again how it's Draco's fault this all started?" Hermione asked Ron cutting her eyes at him.
Ron cringed. He hated when she used his first name. "He was being an ass." He mumbled.
Hermione raised her eyebrows. "He usually is. What exactly did he say about me to condone you trying to tear his face off?"
"Uh... He uh... Kind of... Made mention of you and him... Shagging." He uttered the last word wrinkling his nose in disgust. Harry put his hands behind his head watching the exchange from a chair a few feet away. He shook his head stifling a laugh.
"So? What does our sex life have to do with you?"
Harry stood up throwing his hands up in the air. "Nope, fuck this I'm done."
"Oh would you just relax." Hermione said irritated.
"I'm so done." Harry began walking to the staircase of the boys dorm when lights from outside caught his attention. He stopped at the window staring out at the snow covered grounds to see the lights on in Hagrid's cabin. "Hagrid's back." he whispered gesturing Hermione and Ron to look.
A huge smile spread across all three of them. "You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Hermione asked giddy with excitement.
"I'll grab the Marauders map!" Harry grinned running up the stairs.
"I'll get the invisibility cloak!" Ron said following Harry.
Both boys bounded down the stairs with the map and cloak in hand. Harry was full of excited energy. "Let's do this!"
