Ballycastle Bats Get Stung By the Wimbourne Wasps
By H. J. Granger
Another win early in the season for Wasps! Ronald Weasley did not let any quaffles get out of his reach while I cannot say the same for the Bats' keeper, Red Rauldell…The Wasps are looking forward to their game against the Chudley Cannons… Ronald Weasley believes that it will be walk in the park… In the near future, the Wimbourne Wasps will go head to head with the Appleby Arrows… Captains Ronald Weasley and Draco Malfoy have had several quarrels in the past and most likely a few more before, after, and during their game... Draco Malfoy should keep an eye out for the Wasps, or his team could get stung too.
Draco skimmed the article, getting more agitated the more he read. How did the Wasps always get the first page in the Quidditch Section? Sure it wasn't the headline but it beat the last page. And what about his team getting stung? The Wasps had an easy season so far, unlike his team. The Arrows next game was against the Falmouth Falcons; Draco already knew a few of his teammates would be injured by the end of the game. Draco ended up throwing the paper across his apartment. He quickly grabbed his cloak and wand whilst walking through the front door.
"Great job out there Ron!" Hermione told her boyfriend as she put her arms around his neck.
"Thanks, but anyone could beat the Chudley Cannons." Ron's ears went read with that statement. The Chudley Cannons were still one of his favorite teams.
"Oh well, a win is a win." Hermione said as she pecked him on the cheek. Ron's ears turned a brighter, bolder red.
They apparated to Diagon Alley and Ron walked Hermione to her apartment. When they reached the top steps Ron said;
"I have to go to Kenmare on Thursday."
"Well good luck then, I wish I could but the Prophet has me covering the Falmouth and Appleby game."
"Don't they know you would rather watch the Wasps instead of that ferret's team? I mean the Wasp's captain, a lot more attractive than the stupid Arrow's"
"I don't know," Hermione said trying not to smile "I do love his blonde hair."
"What?" Ron said "You picked that bloody ferret over me?"
"No, he asked for me." Hermione said "The prat thinks he can do anything because his parents left him so much gold."
"Just let me know if there are any problems," Ron said calming down. "Meet me at the Leaky Caldron on Saturday when I get back."
"Great. I'll miss you." Hermione said giving Ron a kiss before going into the apartment.
Not once did Ron say he would miss her. He would be on vacation in Ireland, his teammates, no girlfriend and a whole lot of gorgeous Irish woman.
