"HA!" Jen yelled triumphantly, zooming away from a now extremely wobbly Hufflepuff Beater. She turned her broom upward again and hovered briefly near the goal posts, eyeing the opposing team's beaters as though daring them to attempt another foul on her team. A gust of wind blew her hair into her face and she pushed the golden blonde locks out of her eyes impatiently. Just then, she spotted one of them following her brother, and taking careful aim at what looked like the back of his head... "Rog!" She screamed out a warning and laid low to her broom, willing it to get there before the bludger began its flight toward injuring him. The Hufflepuff hit the bludger, launching it in Roger's direction just as Jen was level with him. One quick decision later, Jen had sped forward, blocked Roger and just barely made it with enough time to whack the bludger back at it's sender. It collided with his left shoulder, knocking him off his broom. This had distracted the Hufflepuff team just long enough. Cho Chang, Ravenclaw's Seeker, flew past Jen in a blur of blue, towards something shiny that was flying just above the ground on the West Side of the pitch. Before anyone realized what happened, there was a deafening roar from the crowd. Ravenclaw had won the match, 190-40. Jen let out a whoop and joined the rest of her team who were already landing in the center of a swirling crowd of cheering students. Amidst the cheering students and the massive group hugging from her fellow Ravenclaw team mates, she had almost forgotten. Quickly, she looked around until she saw a mass of dark brown hair in a yellow robe shuffling defeatedly toward the dressing rooms..."Ced! Hey, Cedric! Wait up!" She jogged to catch up with him. The tall boy turned around with an expression of mock hurt.
"Sure, it's ok, Jen. It's easy to forget about your best pal Cedric when you've just slaughtered his team in the first match of the season..." He whined in a voice of mock self-pity. She raised an eyebrow at him and his expression changed as his face broke into a broad grin. "I'm only joking! Congratulations, Davies! That last hit was really something! Well.... For a FEMALE beater that is..." Jen's grateful smile had turned into a mischievous one.
"Is that so, Diggory? Well, if I'm only a silly little girl, then THIS won't hurt a bit!" And without warning she had shoved him to the ground and was desperately trying to get him in a headlock. He was about to begin tickling her, his "secret weapon" and last resort, when a tall broad- shouldered and sandy-haired boy with sea green eyes and freckles, Avery Radford, her fellow beater called from across the pitch.
"Hey, DJ! You gonna stop flirting and come celebrate with us or what?" Mocking reluctance, Jen got up and extended a hand to help Cedric up as well.
"Coming, Radford!"
Cedric gave her a look. "DJ?" He asked, hiding a smirk.
"Oh, yeah, for Davies Jr., can't afford to get Roger and I confused, can we? I'll catch up with you later, ok?" She asked, already Jogging back toward her team without waiting for an answer.
"It's cool. See you, then!" Cedric laughed. "DJ," he muttered under his breath and walked away shaking his head.
Once back inside the Ravenclaw common room, the whole house was in celebration over their team's recent victory. "Speech, speech, speech!" Brent Cooper, the team Keeper began chanting. Brent had black spiky hair (currently tipped blue for the game), dark brown eyes, and sideburns. An eyebrow ring glinted from above his left eye. Before long everyone had joined in and finally, after several mock-humble protests, Roger climbed up upon a table and cleared his throat. The room became silent; everyone always looked forward to Roger's speeches.
"As your Ravenclaw captain, this will be my final year." A fake burst of hysterical crying erupted from Ryan Ekart, a chaser. After the laughter subsided, Roger continued. "Assuming, that is, that I survive N.E.W.T.s." There were some groans and more laughter from his audience. "I would now like to personally thank my team. Cooper, McLean, Ekart, Chang, Radford, and of course...my favorite twin in the entire world, Jen Davies." There was a chorus of awing at which Roger pretended to flush, before continuing. "That was some save out there today, sis! And, I would just like to take this moment to say, that I know she's quite a catch, but if any of you ever even think about hitting on my sister..."
"Oh, Roger, not again!" groaned Jen, slapping a hand to her forehead.
"I'm just kidding! But no, seriously, she's the best sister anyone could ask for, and one helluva beater, so I'd like to dedicate our win today to her!" Everyone in the room clapped as Jen's face turned a rosy shade of pink. Roger's speech went on for another ten minutes or so, before ending with "And with all of that out of the way, let us feast!" The Entire Ravenclaw house burst into applause and everyone began milling about, talking, and eating well into the night. Jonathan McLean, another chaser, had designed a very large blue and bronze banner with an eagle eating a badger on it. Seeing the Hufflepuff mascot being maimed by their own reminded Jen that she had promised to meet up with Cedric.
"Oh well," she thought, "he'll forgive me, when hasn't he?" she laughed lightly at this and rejoined the party, that only ended around 2am when Professor Flitwick came in and told them all to get some rest.
Finally her and her fellow 6th year girls, Maggie Carter, Kate Dawson, Ramey Littrell, and Crystal Greenly, trooped upstairs to their dormitory where Jen finally had to close the blue velvet hangings surrounding her bed to drown out Kate and Ramey's incessant giggling over who was better-looking, Roger or Avery.
