Rebecca found herself waking up in the Slytherin common room. she looked over to where a wizard calendar hung to see the date was the 6th of November and she realized she had been asleep for six days straight. Her eyes still adjusting to her surroundings she could see Daphne sitting on the opposite sofa watching her. "Hello sleepy head." she teased
"What happened?" Rebecca asked curiously.
"Well, I don't know exactly but you were missing from the great hall at dinner on Halloween and when we were finished I went to the toilet and saw you being carried by Snape to what I guessed the hospital wing."
"Hospital wing? Why?"
"Well you looked badly injured. Your head was bleeding badly and I think you were knocked out." she answered. Memories flashed through her mind. Memories of the bathroom and the troll and being thrown across the room.
"Well I need to go to class." Daphne said "You just say and rest." and with that Daphne grabbed her bag and walked out of the common room.
The next day Rebecca began walking again and made it up to the great hall for breakfast with the help of Hermione who found her struggling with the stairs. Half an hour later Harry, Ron and Karma ran in, Harry dressed in his quidditch gear. "I'm so excited and nervous." Harry practically screamed.
"What's the occasion Harry?" Rebecca asked.
"Rebecca O MY GOD your okay when did you come out of your weird coma thing." Ron asked.
"Yesterday but I was very weak." she relied
"The big quidditch match today Rebecca, you didn't forget did you?" Harry questioned
"Ermm yeah Harry I think I did. I was in a coma for 6 days." She answered.
"Anyway you coming." Karma asked
"Sure who's playing? Gryffindor and Slytherin?" she guessed
"Yeah good guess"
Later that morning Rebecca found herself sitting in the Slytherin stands awaiting the match to start. Malfoy sat a few rows down with Crabbe and Goyle at his sides. "Potter shouldn't you be sitting with your Gryffindor Geeks!"
He sneered. Rebecca ignored the comment as she knew it was true, she wanted to go sit with Ron and Hermione and Karma but the rest of the Gryffindors didn't want her company so she reluctantly sat alone In the stands surrounded by her Slytherin enemies. Karma also left her alone as he really despised the Slytherins except her.
The cheering began as Lee Jordan announced the entry of the Slytherin quidditch team. the Keeper, Seeker, beaters and chasers circled the pitch giving the odd high five to their fellow housemates and then the Gryffindor team came zooming out from the stands Oliver wood the Keeper and captain in the lead closely followed by Harry himself the seeker of the Gryffindor quidditch team. After they all took formation Madam Hooch threw the quaffle in the air and the game began.
The chasers from both teams raced towards the quaffle and passed it between their teammates until one team scored. The Keepers kicked and hit the Quaffle away from the three goal posts at opposite ends of the pitch. Flashes of green and red covered the pitch as the players dodged the fierce and fast Bludgers. Rebecca could see Harry high above the pitch searching rapidly for the golden snitch same for the Slytherin Seeker. When the Slytherin team scored Rebecca knew it was right to cheer for her house but a strain of hatred inside of her restrained her from doing so. Her other housemates gave her dirty looks as she remained in her seat as the others broke out into applause as yet another goal was scored by the Slytherin team. Rebecca admired the work of the chasers from both teams, flying through the air like a bird but with brooms reminding her of Squawk when she would let him out of his cage and he would fly softly through the clouds. seconds later Rebecca heard Harry shout to his captain "WOOD, LOOK OUT!" but It was to late a bludger hit wood in the chest sending him of his broom and through the hoop and to the ground.
Gryffindor now had a disadvantage and Slytherin were scoring quite quickly. Just then Rebecca saw Harry break out into a fast Hissy like fit on his broom making him lose grip and hang on by one hand. Hermione across the pitch saw Snape muttering a spell of some sort and rush over to the professors stand. Rebecca saw what was happening and met her halfway. "Hermione, what's going on?" she asked.
"Snape has bewitched Harrys broom and I'm going to stop it." And then Hermione ran up the stairs while Rebecca stayed at the bottom watching Harry and fearing the worst. A minute late Harrys fit stopped and he elegantly took off racing after a hint of gold among the players. He saw the snitch. Everyone watched as he made a dangerous move by standing on his broom and leaning forward to catch the golden snitch. But he tripped and fell, summersaulted and stood very still as if to throw up. But what everyone expected to be vomit instead from his mouth out pooped the golden snitch. "Harry potter has caught the golden snitch and earned Gryffindor 150 points." Gryffindor had won. Cheers and applause rang out of the grounds and Hermione and Rebecca clapped the loudest and hardest at the bottom of the teachers stand.
Everyone met up in the transfiguration court yard that evening to celebrate Harrys triumph. they sat under the tree in a circle Harry next to Hermione who sat between Harry and Ron and Rebecca between Harry and Karma.
"So Harry what actually happened to your broom?" Karma questioned
"I don't know, one minute it was fine then the next it went really weird." he answered
"Well I think it was Snape, you could see his lips muttering a spell of some sort so after I went up the sand and set fire to his cape the hex stopped." Hermione chimed in.
"Wait you set fire to his cape?" Rebecca asked shocked.
"Well how else was I supposed to stop him, ask him nicely, anyway it makes sense, Snape hates Harry and would do anything to make sure his precious Slimy Slytherin Gits win everything."
"Hey I am a Slytherin." Rebecca reminded her
"Oh yes apart from you of course I mean how many detentions have you already had with Snape?" she quizzed
"Eh I don't know, too many to count." Rebecca guessed "All for violence towards other housemates" she said almost proudly.
They all laughed and watched as the sunset over the astronomy tower and starlight and moon shine filled the sky. They all held hands in their circle, a symbol of true friendship whether they were Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs or Slytherins, that didn't matter they were all best friends.
