The lost quidditch story

Chapter 1: The match

"The Quaffle is taken immediately by Katie Bell of Gryffindor. And she is flying her broom like an eagle using its wings. She's fantastic. Nice pass to Alicia Spinnet"… Suddenly Lee Jordan exploded with laughter. "Ladies and gentlemen" he roared, "it seems like Flint tries to scare Spinnet away by showing his underwear".

"Jordan!"

"Sorry professor but it was just too funny". Lee gave the running as usual, but under a careful keeping from McGonagall. Marcus Flint, the captain of the Slytherin team had, with a roar of laughter from the audience pulled his pair of trousers back on. The match was on again and Flint took the quaffle.

"Oh look at that, little Flint pink got the quaffle".

"Jordan, I'm warning you!"

"Sorry professor, anyway, Angelina Johnson is right behind him and… there your trousers are down again Flint pink." Flint blushed and dropped the quaffle; it hit the ground after falling by a laughing Angelina and a laughing Adrian Puecy. Oliver Wood giggled at his beater Fred Weasley.

"We have to make that Lee Jordan an honorary member of our team" he said.

"Definitely" Fred said in vain, trying not to laugh too much. His twin George was laughing himself into tears. Flint had asked for a time out, which only gave the Gryffindteam more time to laugh and make fun of him. Both Bole and Montague was trying to stop Flint from skinning Puecy alive for he hadn't caught the quaffle.

"Calm down Mark", Montague roared, "There is better ways to win then kill half your own army".

Angelina Johnson and Harry Potter came a little closer to hear if the time out was finished, they heard Flint say something like: "All right, from now on all of you will follow this plan, and this especially means you two" he glared at Derrick and Bole in a way that told everyone around that they was going to pay for it if they didn't. Whit those words Flint flew away from his team towards Harry and Angelina, as he flew by he showed them the belt he had put on to prevent his trousers from gliding down. To his disappointment he saw the two Gryffindors were laughing again worse then last time. He went back and glared at them for some seconds and then he said: "Continue laughing as long as you can!" he flew away from them and turned around to se if his words had made some difference. They had, both of then were laughing even more. Bole noticed his captain's mood and joined him, glaring at Harry and Angelina.

"Don't even care Flint", se said, "they're Gryffindors, we need more to scare them. They are too stupid to get afraid."

"We'll give them more, then", Flint said

"What did you say?" Bole asked.

"I said. Follow the plan" Flint flew away…

Madam Hoch blew her whistle, the game was on again, and Lee started to speak.

"Flint's trousers are finally fixed everybody. The game is on again, Montague have the quaffle at the moment, but he drops is thanks to a bludger sent towards him by Fred or George Weasley, I can't say which one it was but it was really a good job, Katie has taken the quaffle again and she is swishing towards the goalposts and… Wait what on earth are they…" Lee was struck by a sudden tongue-tiedness, Bole had sent the bludger back to the guilty twin and whit a nimble movement the twin had sent it back to Bole, the beaters was sending the bludger between themselves with a furious power. Lee couldn't believe what he was watching. Suddenly the other Slytherin beater Derrick came in from nowhere, behind the twin. Just like someone had made some magic upon him, Lee was able to speak again.

"FRED, GEORGE, WATCH OUT!"

But of course, it was too late, Derrick had caught the twin from behind and Boles bludger hit him in his forehead. He immediately fell out of consciousness and Derrick pulled him of his broom and let him fall. Derrick and Bole did now begin a disgusting game. They tried to hit the unconscious twin in his head with the bludger as many times as possible before he hit the ground. Which one of them it even was, were bleeding everywhere when he was left on the ground, as he had been hit on more places than in his head. At the same time Flint and Montague had catch Katie Bell between them and thrown her into one of their own goalposts, she ended up unconscious too, but the seconds before she passed out she had thrown the quaffle, which she still had under her arm, into the goal, and made the only real score for the entire match. Lee was one of the few people who had seen what Katie succeeded in the second before she passed out. Madam Hoch blew her whistle to stop the game.

"Two free shots for Gryffindor". She roared. But now the other twin had seen his brother's lifeless body, which Collin Creevey wildly took photographs on. Short after, Collin could take photos of both Weasleytwins, one of them had his face covered whit tears, and the other one with blood. Oliver, Angelina, Alicia and Harry landed beside Fred and George, it was disgusting. Wood didn't know what to say, finally he tried to say that it maybe was best to continue but the twin didn't hear him.

"How could this happen? You had a bat in your hand, you fool! GEORGE WHAT HAPPENED?" Fred began to sob without control. It was Alicia who got him back.

"Fred, we should try to take revenge on them for this by winning this match, shouldn't we?" Wood sighed relieved.

"Yes" he said and raised his hand, "George had wanted us to do that, right?"

"For George and Katie", Angelina yelled and placed her own hand on Oliver's.

"FOR GRYFFINDOR" the rest of the team roared, they took each others hands, and short after, they was back in the air. Angelina made the free shots, one for Katie and one for George. The game continued. Lee continued to give the running while the professors took the hurt players away to the hospital wing.

Lee was quite happy that McGonagall disappeared for a while so he could comment in his own way. But he wasn't the only one who was happy.

"Alicia Spinnet has the quaffle" Lee began but then Alicia was hit in the back of her head by a bludger Bole had sent in her direction. Alicia did never felt it; she just passed out and fell. Madam Hooch was hit too just before she could blow her whistle and stop the match again. Puecy got the quaffle and Fred sent his bludger after him. Puecy dropped the quaffle to Angelina, but she never reached it. Montague and Flint had attacked her and pulled her off her broom but she grasped it just in time to prevent the fall. Derrick sent his bludger towards her, it hit her in her stomach, and she lost her grip and fell. The Slytherinchasers let her go. With a heart-breaking scream Angelina fell to the ground. She could both hear and feel how her bones break into pieces under her before everything went dark. On the other side of the pitch Bole got a direct hit on Harry, at the same place as Alicia. And just like Alicia, he passed out immediately. This was lucky for him because he had too much speed and had swished into a grandstand with Ravenclaws, which he hit many times, causing him some extra fractures and bruises, before he finally hit the ground. In the noise which followed when "the boy who lived" fell, the bludger had disappeared. Fred took his chance, he began with counting how many Gryffindorplayers there was left and found to his horror that he and Wood was alone. Fred flew over to Wood from the opposite side of the pitch in a surprising speed for his old broom and reached his friend just in time to save him from Derrick's bludger. Both Fred and Oliver knew that this was game over, all they could do was give up, but they didn't want to give up. And the Slytherins didn't want to give up either. The entire teem came for them, the lost bludger was back and the keeper Bletchley had armed himself with Georges bat. He sent a bludger towards them and got a direct hit at Fred's hand. Fred whined in pain and his bat was thrown away through the air and catch by Montague.

"Are you afraid now Gryffindors?" Flint asked, accompanied to Malfoy's laughter.

"Never" both Fred and Wood roared!

"All right then" Bole said calmly and sent his bludger towards Wood. Then Fred did something extremely brave and extremely unconsidered. He didn't have a bat anymore, but he still had his arm, using his arm as a bat Fred was able to save Wood for the moment, but now Fred's arm was hurt and he needed the other arm if he didn't wanted to fall. Both bludgers were coming towards him now, one of them hit him on his shoulder and the other one hit him in his back. Fred started to cough blood. The next bludger hit Wood in his head, he was gone just like the others. Flint grasped Fred who helpless watched his last teammate falling to the ground and become still. Flint tried one last time.

"Are you scared now?" he asked Fred. Fred smiled.

"Not of you!" he replied as calmly as he could for the pain and the darkness that he felt were on its way. Then Flint lost his patience.

"Destroy the Gryffindor team" he ordered. He held Fred harder to make it easier for his teammates to aim. Fred could see Bole send the bludger towards him and prepared for the pain with a calm smile in his face, and then something unexpected happened. The bludger exploded. The Slytherins and Fred stared at the point where the bludger had disappeared. Next second the explanation came.

"COME DOWN HERE EVERYONE" professor Dumbledore screamed, and no one had ever seen him that furious.
