Awww.didn't that last chap just warm your heart? Thought so.now, onto the
next one-
The precarious hold the Hogwarts Team had on their fragile chance of winning slipped as each moment passed. Soon the score was 260 to 80, meaning even if Harry got the snitch they would lose the game by 40 points. All of the players felt personally responsible for the school, but Bulgaria seemed to be the better team. Harry had the sneaking suspicion that the Bulgarians were cheating somehow, but he had no proof.
He was about to discover how they were cheating, though
Harry looked around the game, examining the players. As is eyes fell on Krum something happened that made Harry's blood boil. He noticed Krum reach into his robes and take something out. He let it go and Harry knew *exactly* what it was.
Krum let the snitch get a few feet away before darting forward and capturing it. He raised his arm triumphantly. The Bulgarians roared and started to celebrate. Harry darted down to Dumbledore, needing to explain what he had seen. Dumbledore nodded gravely and what he had to say was almost too much for Harry to bear.
"I'm sorry, Harry, but we need to be able to prove it." Dumbledore became silent as Harry tried to digest this. Suddenly his face brightened.
"If we could prove it, we'd win, right?" Dumbledore nodded
"But we'd have to prove it" Dumbledore said again.
"Leave that to me" Harry smiled. He chased down Ron and Draco, who were sulking in the bleachers.
"Follow me" Harry said and went and got the twins, and the four disappeared into the castle.
They ran into the sleeping Gryffindor tower and stealthily made their way to Ron and Harry's dormitory. Harry opened his trunk and pulled out a little bottle with clear liquid inside.
"What's that, Harry" Fred asked
"If I didn't know better, I'd say it was either water or some veritaserum" George said, "and since the only place veritaserum wold be is in Snape's office."
"It's water," Fred concluded for his twin. Ron made a buzzer sound.
"Wrong, but nice try. Its veritaserum from Snape's office" The look on the twins face was priceless, as neither of them had had the guts to do something like that.
"Wow"
"Double wow" They broke into peals of laughter.
"Now, for the reason I brought all of you up here. Krum cheated. Ever since we fell he's had the snitch in his pocket! Now, if we can prove that the Bulgarians cheated, we win."
"How do you propose we do that, Harry?" Ron asked
"Magical Water-balloons" Harry grinned. The twins faces looked confused then suddenly changed into delight.
"Count us in" Fred said and George nodded.
"Now this is what we have to do..."
