The group of Gryffindors that had now grown to five with Lavender's addition were sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall having breakfast. It was the morning of Gryffindors second Quidditch match. Y/N chuckled and smirked as he looked over at Harry:

"See you're feeling no better than before the last game Harry."

Harry glanced at his friend and nodded before going back to pick at his toast.

Hermione then smiled as she saw Cedric and Beatrice walking up to the table. She knew Cedric was the Hufflepuff seeker. He and Y/N had been teasing each other since the return from Christmas break about today's match. She nudged her best friend who was, as always, right beside her with a mostly eaten plate of eggs.

Y/N looked at her and she signalled towards the approaching Puffs with her head. Y/N got up to reach them as both he and Cedric held their hands out to grasp before ending with, what Y/N had explained to her, was a 'bro hug'. She giggled at the pair.

"Best of luck today Y/N" Cedric said as they entered the embrace.

"You too Ced. No hard feelings" Y/N replied.

"I should be the one apologising" Ced shot back.

Bea looked at Hermione and they both rolled their eyes and exclaimed at the same time:

"Boys!"

"Come on we have to go to the change rooms to get ready. You two can argue over whose pee-pee is bigger later" Beatrice laughed.

"Pfft like there's any contest" Y/N chuckled. Cedric was about to reply as Beatrice pulled him away.

As they left the hall Y/N swore he heard Cedric yelling something about 'you're the biggest dick' and laughed at his older friend.

Ron looked at Y/N in his oblivious way and asked "Why were you two measuring your pee-pees?"

Y/N cracked up, laughing hysterically, and Lavender and Hermione both blushed profusely.

Maisy, who was sitting with Angela and the twins on the other side of Harry spoke up.

"It's an expression Ronald. It means when two alpha males get near each other they have to constantly prove who the bigger man is"

Ron absorbed her words and appeared deep in thought momentarily before asking:

"By measuring their pee-pees?"

Y/N laughed even harder as the rest of the extended group gave Ron the same strained expression.

"Mum definitely dropped you on your head as a baby" Fred said shaking his head.

"Multiple times" George muttered in agreement.

Wood approached the group just as Y/N had finished laughing and wiped tears from his eyes. The captain spoke loudly:

"Alright lads and ladies. It's time to get out there and get ready. Y/N I take it you have the same plan as last time?"

Y/N smirked.

"Do you want me pumped up to catch the snitch?"

Wood nodded and replied:

"Ok we need to hurry then".

The players got up to leave before Hermione grabbed Y/N's arm. He looked down with a smile as she asked:

"Same song?"

Y/N blushed slightly as he replied quietly:

"No I picked out a special one today. Perfect for the lovey-dovey puffs."

He leaned in to hug her and whispered into her ear:

"And you"

They separated from the hug, both with a bright blush, but Hermione leant forward and placed a soft kiss on Y/N's cheek.

"For good luck" she said with a warm smile before Wood yelled from the doorway of the Great Hall:

"Come on Y/N"

Wood sounded exasperated. Y/N looked at Hermione and nodded, before running off to join the departing team.

Hermione sat in the crowd and looked anxiously as Snape walked onto the pitch and mounted his broom.

"He's never looked so mean." Lavender said. Hermione nodded. She knew Snape was there, as Y/N had told her, to keep a closer eye on Harry.

"I think I know why- look" Lavender pointed to the teachers stand. Dumbledore was sat there this time to watch the match.

"He must be here to make sure Snape doesn't try anything again" Ron stated arrogantly from the other side of Lavender. Neville, Dean and Seamus agreed with him.

Hermione remained quiet. Y/N believed Snape was on the right side and she trusted Y/N implicitly. This was especially so after the whole memory incident when she saw Quirrell muttering. Suddenly, music blared from all around.

"You're joking?" Lavender said to Hermione with a huge gush of happiness on her face. "This is the song Y/N picked for you?"

-~-

Y/N was sat in the Gryffindor changing room, listening to Wood drone on and on with what he thought was motivational speaking. Y/N liked Oliver but his whole attitude towards Maisy had really pissed Y/N off.

"And we need you to catch the snitch in record time Y/N"

"Y/N"

"Y/N!"

"What?" Y/N snapped angrily, pulled from his thoughts.

"Have you been listening to a word I say?"

"Every single one captain" Y/N said with a slight glare.

"Well what did I just say?" Oliver asked grumpily.

"Catch the Snitch in record time" Y/N snapped.

"Oh. Good...." Oliver smiled.

He continued his lecture as Y/N leant over to Fred and whispered:

"It's all he's said for the past week"

Fred laughed as Wood finished his speech and turned back to Y/N.

"Ok Y/N.. go on"

Y/N placed his Walkman on a table with the headphones out and hit play, saying:

"I was made for lovin' You by Kiss"

Sonorous

Kiss started blaring out around the stadium.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Y/N summoned his broom and walked towards the entry to the stadium as Katie hurried next to him:

"Ohhh good choice Y/N" she said with a smile as they mounted their brooms:

"Is this for your girlfriend?"

Y/N was focused on his breathing, getting his adrenaline pumping as he answered absentmindedly:

"She's not my girlfriend Katie"

Katie smiled widely and leant over, kissing a shocked Y/N on the cheek. He looked at her stunned as she giggled:

"I've still got a chance then" before winking and flying off.

"What the..?" Y/N muttered in confusion. He shook his head and flew out to where Cedric was hovering as the music blared.

"Good luck mate" Y/N said with a large smile as the two shook hands. Cedric returned the sentiment before Y/N flew off to the Gryffindor stands to find Hermione.

He quickly located her in the second row of a three rowed stand and saw her waving at him happily with a large smile. He waved back as she tapped her temple.

Nice song

Y/N blushed on his broom and hoped she wouldn't notice. He thought back shyly:

Hope it wasn't too much.

Not at all. It's very sweet. Looks like you're up.

Hermione pointed towards Snape and the other players with a giggle. The music was ending and both teams appeared to be waiting for Y/N to start the match.

Hermione giggled as Y/N glided back to two very annoyed looking teams. Lavender giggled and said to Hermione quietly:

"Only your boyfriend would hold up a quidditch match to come and flirt"

Hermione blushed but didn't argue the point, simply replying:

"Yeah. That's Y/N"

-~-

Snape released the golden snitch and the teams were away. Hermione watched as Y/N flew up instantly. She was so focused she didn't hear what was going on around her.

Ron was sat two seats down on the other side of Lavender and felt something hit him in the back of the head.

"Sorry didn't see you there Weasel!"

Draco had come over to the Gryffindor stand with his two goons, feeling particularly brave now Y/N wasn't around.

Neville moaned loudly as Snape awarded a penalty to Hufflepuff. No one was quite sure why.

"C'mon Y/N!" Hermione screamed loudly.

Goyle was about to say something to her as Draco grabbed his arm, looked at Hermione and then back at Goyle and shook his head. Dean and Seamus has been watching the pair and laughed as Dean yelled:

"What's wrong Malfoy? Scared of what someone might do?"

Seamus laughed even louder as Draco replied:

"Shut up you pair of twits. I was just thinking how they pick the Gryffindor team. It's who they feel sorry for. Potter has no parents, Bell has no boyfriend and the Weasleys have no money. You might be next Longbottom, you've got no balls!"

The three snakes laughed as Neville turned around:

"Shut up Malfoy! I'm ten times the man you are!"

Neville spoke proudly but only caused the three snakes to laugh hysterically. Ron was still seething from the comment about his family and turned around, snapping:

"One more word and you're done for Malfoy!"

Draco laughed again.

"Oh what are you gonna do Weasel? Did you hear the Weasleys tried to sell off their children but no one wanted-"

Draco was cut off as Ron charged him, causing them both to topple over the back of the stand. They were quickly followed by Crabb and Goyle and then Dean, Seamus and Neville.

Lavender looked back but her attention was brought back to the game as Hermione screamed.

Y/N had gone into a massive dive, closely followed by Cedric, and they were headed straight for Snape.

Severus was turning on his broom but stopped suddenly, a maroon blur flying passed his nose at high speed. He saw Cedric pull up abruptly behind him. Y/N stopped several feet in front of him, hand raised in the air.

The stadium erupted. Lavender and Hermione hugged in delight. McGonagall cheered with her arms in the air. Dumbledore clapped fiercely.

Thanks for the warning, Y/N Snape said telepathically to his young student.

Thanks for watching our backs Professor Y/N replied.

They subtly nodded at each other before Y/N landed and was tackled to the ground by his team mates- Katie was kissing his cheek as George got him in a headlock. Lee could still be heard in the commentary box.

"L/N has caught the snitch! Gryffindor wins 170-10! This must be a Hogwarts record, less than four minutes. I think we are seeing a future England seeker in the making. Gryffindor wins!"

Hermione was so proud of her boy- best friend she didn't notice Katie's carry on, or the punches and wheezes that came from behind her.

-~-

After the eruptions had calmed the teams went to get changed. Y/N walked up to Cedric, shaking his hand on a good match.

"No bragging?" Cedric asked his young friend with a chuckle. Y/N smiled coyly.

"Nah, wouldn't do that to you mate. It was fun before the game but I wouldn't rub a friend's nose in it. Same thing next year?"

Cedric pulled Y/N into a bro hug with a chuckle and said in his ear:

"Oh you better believe it mate!"

-~-

Y/N was the last to arrive back at the Gryffindor common room. As he walked through the portrait door he was engulfed in a massive hug by a very proud Hermione.

"You were amazing Y/N, absolutely amazing. Nobody has ever seen anything like it before. We're in the lead now. All we have to do is beat Ravenclaw and we've won the Quidditch Cup!"

Y/N smiled at Hermione as they parted from the hug, their hands connected between each other as he answered:

"That's awesome Hermione. Can we sit down, just the two of us? I'm exhausted and I could really use some alone time with you."

Hermione smiled and blushed, saying with a sweet smile:

"That would be really-"

She was cut off as Y/N was abruptly dragged off by Katie and Angela, only to be thrust on the Weasley twins' shoulders.

"Here he is, the man of the hour, the catcher of Snitches and the one who made Snape pee his pants!" Fred yelled loudly and proudly.

Y/N groaned and looked at Hermione, who smiled sympathetically. It was going to be a long night.
