"Want to go and practice for the big game tomorrow?" Allen asked when he stepped into the common room to find Connor writing something.
"Oh, that's right. The game's tomorrow! I completely forgot!" Connor screamed.
"How could you forget?" Allen asked.
"Professor Limsy gave me 2 half-foot papers due for next week and Flitwick made me do a foot long paper on the cheering charm."
"But we need to practice! We're playing our enemy tomorrow! Huflepuff! This is the most important game! We don't have a backup Keeper!"
"I will be there, but just I won't practice." Connor hesitated.
"Goodnight."
"It's only 8:30!"
"I'm need to rest, for the game!" He shouted.
"Don't make such a big deal, Al!"
"I did my homework. What have you been up to? Going to secret meetings with Dumbledore because you're the boss and head of the Time Team?"
"I never said this was about me!"
"Well, why wouldn't be? It always is!" Allen stomped off to their dorm until Connor couldn't hear him anymore.
'Do I actually think I'm better than Allen?' he thought to himself.
'He's not better then me! He didn't save me from the dementor attack. But I saved him from the train crash. Am I really better than him?' Connor finished his homework, but couldn't get that thought out of his head.
The crowd was cheering. Some Hufflepuff, some Ravenclaw.
"You ready to apologize, Hamshire?" Allen asked Connor.
"I have nothing to apologize for."
The horn blew and the Ravenclaws flew out onto the pitch and Connor watched the Hufflepuffs do the same. Connor flew to his goalposts and watched Jeremy Hawk, the Hufflepuff Keeper, snarl at him. The whistle blew and the quaffle was released. Hufflepuff managed to get it off the whistle. They were passing and doing some drills and one of them shot.
"Ten points for Hufflepuff!" The Hufflepuff crowd cheered. The Ravenclaw crowd cheered and screamed,
"You can catch up, Ravenclaw!"
Connor shook his hair out of his face, like it was just unlucky.
Ravenclaw started with it and Kate got it. She passed it to Oliver who passed it back to Kate. Kate shot but it was blocked by Hawk. Hawk passed it to one of the chasers and they did some passing. Finally, the same chaser from before shot and scored bottom left.
"Ten points for Hufflepuff!"
Hufflepuff won that game 230-70.
