HeY PeOpLe-Sorry about the long update…not enough motivation to actually write a chapter and post it runs and hides. Also, I've hit a writer's block, so I started thinking how to introduce Flamel but then I remembered the Quidditch scene…anyways, I officially hate writing action scenes (LOL). So anyways, I wanted to get this chapter cos I promised EvaliaPoison there will be a chapter posted before she comes back from overseas! There should be a few more chapters posted up before school (college for me) starts again and then I won't have much time :(…though I will have study periods:). So, look forward to the chapters! Enough excuses! Hope you like the new chapter! –On with the chapter!

Chapter 14-The Quidditch Match

Time flew by fast; over the weeks, Daemon had helped Alexis control her fear of heights. She could fly up to 10 feet before starting to feel the familiar nausea and an urge to jump down. Finally, it was the day of the Quidditch Match: Ravenclaw against Hufflepuff. It was also Daemon's first time as a chaser of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

"C'mon, Daemon, you need to eat," urged Terry (AKA Teddy).

"I will," he assured them, "Lexi, can I speak with you a moment?"

She met Daemon's eyes, "Sure"

Daemon pleadingly said, "Lex, I know that you don't like the heights, but we've been training together in Quidditch and your fear of heights is almost…-what I'm trying to say is that, will you consider joining the team?"

"Hey Lexi! You know how you're scared of heights and that's why you don't want to join the Quidditch team? I've an idea!" said Daemon excitedly, "You teach me how to fly and all the acrobatics on the air and I'll help you with your fear of heights, deal?"

Alexis looked into his honest and warm brown eyes and nodded trustingly.

So, Alexis and Daemon had spent many evenings after dinner together in the Quidditch Pitch, Ravenclaw Dorm rooms and Astronomy Tower working on the heights and acrobatic moves as well as fitness. Five weeks later, both Alexis and Daemon were able to do one hundred push-ups without sweating. Alexis was not paralyzed with fear even at the height of the Astronomy tower with Daemon sitting behind her, holding her waist and her eyes were closed.

She stared at him. She nodded stiffly.

"Very well, I shall consider joining the team. Good luck, Daemon." She pushed passed him, into the Great Hall.

"Welcome to the Ravenclaw against Hufflepuff Quidditch match!" announced Lynn Jordan, Lee (Jordan)'s elder, Ravenclaw sister.

"For the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team: Jamie Laser-Quidditch Captain and Keeper! Minty Helios-Seeker, Belle, Bee and Hill-Chasers! And the Beaters-The Terrors-Ravenclaw version of the Weasley twins!!!!" shouted Lynn.

"For the Hufflepuff team: Timmy Thanatos-Quidditch Captain and Chaser along with Forest and Cup! The Seeker- up and rising star, Diggory! AND…the beaters- the YIN YANG Twins!" introduced David, the commentator for the Hufflepuff team.

"All of you," said Madame Hooch, "I want a nice clean game." She was standing in the centre of the Quidditch Pitch with the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw teams hovering above. She released the Bludgers and the Snitch before throwing the Quaffle up into the air.

"AND the game starts!" Yelled Lynn.

Thanatos caught the ball and flew towards the Ravenclaw goals. He threw it to Forest who passed it to Cup. One of the chasers of the Ravenclaw team, Belle, intercepted the quaffle, flew towards the Hufflepuff goals and throws it to Daemon. He flung the red ball towards the centre hoop of the Hufflepuff goals. AND-in it went! Score ten for the Ravenclaw team!

On the other hand, the Ravenclaw Beaters were simply aiming the Bludgers at any player, dressed in yellow and black robes with no plan.

"OW!!!" yelled Daemon, when the curve of a bludger glazed the hand holding the broomstick. With no hands, the broomstick was quickly losing its direction, and its altitude latitude. Soon, he was falling at a speed of fifty metres per second.

"Daemon!!!!" yelled the Ravenclaw first years in fear.

The other houses, of course, were yelling in excitement.

Alexis aimed her wand at the fast, falling figure, "Wingardium Leviousa!"

He started to fall down, a lot more slowly, because of the heavy body weight instead of fast-falling speed of a weight less feather. Daemon laid in rest on the green grass of the Quidditch field whilst the match continued on.

Finally, after a few more goals for either team, Cedric Diggory, the Seeker for the Hufflepuff team caught the golden snitch. In the end, though the Hufflepuff seeker had caught the snitch, Ravenclaw had won by 10 points. Almost immediately, Alexis and her friends rushed onto the Quidditch Pitch whilst Madame Pomfrey checked Daemon for injuries.

Daemon moaned, "Where am I?"

"The hospital wing," said a voice that was similar to Alexis's.

He cracked open an eyelid, "Alexis?"

Daemon carefully sat up and stared in surprise at the many piles of chocolate frogs that lay on the desk, in wait for his careful ministrations and snacking.

"Those are gifts to you by your admirers and fans," smiled Alexis softly.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Two days only," shrugged Alexis, "Morag, Devon, Padma and Draco are all worried about you. Professor McGonagall did not give us any homework though Professor Snape has given us an assignment on a famous witch or wizard. My topic is on Nicholas Flamel. The assighments are due next week, and we have to do an oral."

"Ok, thanks Alexis"

Thanks for reviewing, people!

EvaliaPoison-yes, it's Aiken

Ellabell-thanks for reviewing! A part of this chapter is for you! Eventually, when I want to, Alexis WILL join the the quidditch team.

MiKaYGiRl- thanks for reviewing! Yes, it is Aiken!

Jamie46-Yes, I agree Aidan would make a good middle name for Draco-now that I know the connection, I wish, in foresight, that I had gave Aidan to Draco as his middle name instead. However, 'Aiken' means 'Made of Oak". I chose Aiken because I had thought it sounded exotic. Thanks for reviewing as always.

UzumakiNaru-thanks for reviewing. Alexis/Draco seems to be very popular….

Ok, a multiple choice question:

How does Professor Snape treat Alexis? Or how do YOU want Professor Snape to treat Alexis? (By the way, even I do not know the exact answer to this question)

Like how he treats Harry or Gryffindors

Nice-like he would treat his favorite pupil

Like his foster daughter

Like any other Ravenclaw

Reviews are much appreciated….so review if you wanna review! LOL
