Thanks to ForeverTeamEdward13, oreomonstar, TeadEdwardUntilIdie, JessChen, and BasementKat for reviewing! Sorry for the long wait again, my family is going through some tough times but I am going to start updating at least once a week, at least until classes start on the 29th! Please review :) Also I don't own anything; credit for lyrics goes to Ministry of Magic and their song "House Song."
Chapter 34: Quidditch
"Harry," Sade said softly. "Please try to listen to my voice. I just need you to look at me."
With much difficulty, Harry turned towards his friend, his eye straining to turn back towards the thing that had captured his attention.
"When I was younger, I stayed here in the castle with my father. I found this mirror when I was 6 years old. It will drive you insane. I saw my father and I with a woman. My mother-whose face I could not see." Sade whimpered, her eyes averted away from Harry and the Mirror. "I came to this mirror every day until I was 8, when Dumbledore found out and had it moved."
Now Sade looked directly into her brother's eyes.
"It can't bring them back Harry."
As a tear slid down his face, Harry fought the urge to look into the Mirror and see his family whole again. He turned away from it and grabbed Sade's hand.
"Let's go. Quickly." He whispered with sadness in his voice.
"That sounds splendid!"
Sade and Harry jumped as Dumbledore stepped from behind a pillar.
"Professor…I, we…" Harry started, but Dumbledore raised his hand for silence.
"It's okay, Harry my boy." He said approaching the young students. "I'm proud of you for turning away from the Mirror. And of you, Sade, for telling him to and for not falling prey to the temptation of the Mirror."
Sade just nodded and kept her eyes to the floor.
"You'll move it, won't you?" She asked quietly.
"Of course Sade." Dumbledore answered, as the trio walked towards the door to leave.
"What do you see sir?" Harry asked as they reached the door.
"Me?" Dumbledore questioned. "I see myself holding a thick pair of wool socks and a rather large jar of Lemon Drops."
Sade knew he had lied. She didn't know why but she knew he did. Before she could think more about the matter, Dumbledore spoke again.
"Well, we all best be off to bed. There's a Quidditch Match tomorrow and I have a bet with your father that Gryffindor will beat Slytherin. You two do your very best, alright? I'd rather not lose so many lemon drops.
Sade and Harry clenched their jaws to keep from laughing and made their way to the Common Room.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Sade woke up very groggy, like every other time she had a nightmare. She pushed aside the thoughts of last night and focused her attention on today's Quidditch Match. Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. Everyone in the castle had been waiting for this all year. Sade quickly got dressed and went down to the Great Hall for breakfast. She sat next to Harry, who looked groggy as well.
"Alright there, Harry?" She asked quietly.
"Yeah, I'm okay." Harry whispered back. "Just, last night…thank you for making me leave."
Sade just nodded and gave him a small smile. The rest of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team arrived and soon it was time to make their way to the locker room. The team walked together in comfortable silence for a minute.
"Snakes at 7." Wood said, bumping arms with Sade and interrupting her thoughts.
Sade turned and saw Draco and Blaise sauntering over towards them. She motioned her team forward and waited for two of her best friends to reach her. Sade hugged Draco hard and then Blaise. The past 3 months had gotten harder for them. Sade was with her Gryffindors and they were with their Slyerthins. They still talked most days but they hadn't gotten to spend any time together other than studying.
"We're going to win, you know." Sade smirked.
"I know, just don't tell anyone I said that!" Draco mock whispered. "Will you meet me by the Lake after the match?"
"Of course I will Dray." Sade laughed, hugging the boys goodbye. "It's time for me to go kick some snake butt!"
"Do snakes even have butts?" Blaise asked as they walked away.
Sade cracked up before walking to meet her teammates in the locker room. Oliver/Fred and George were finishes up the speech. Sade cheered with her team and mounted her broom. She heard Lee Jordan announce them and she took off. The teams flew into their formations above the pitch. Madame Hooch blew her whistle and the match began.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"I'm a Gryffindor
I'll fly with my friends
We'll never back down
And fight to the end
I'm a Gryffindor
And we own the sky
Yeah, we always win
With our rally cry
I'm a Gryffindor
As brave as the come
And my namesake sword
Will get the job done…"
The Gryffindor victory song rang out through the Quidditch Pitch. After 3 hours of grueling play, Sade had finally caught the snitch. Sade smiled around at her teammates as she held the snitch high. She locked eyes with Harry and winced at his black eye. Slytherin had played rough all night and Gryffindor had played rough right back. Everyone was a little roughed up. Sade joined her teammates in the locker room where they all congratulated each other and talked excitedly about the party that would be waiting for them in the Common Room.
"Are you coming Sade?" Harry asked as he started to follow their teammates out of the locker room.
"Nah, you go ahead Harry." Sade replied. "I'm going to go see Draco."
"Alright," Harry began, "But show up sometime, everyone's going to wonder where you are!"
Sade laughed and nodded her agreement. She finished changing into her robes and snuck down to the Lake. It was growing late, around 9 p.m., and Sade shivered against the chill as she walked closer to the beautiful lake. She saw Draco and went to sit next to him, against the tree. She leaned her head on his shoulder and he rested his head on hers. It was a position they had been in a million times before but somehow, its affect hadn't gone. It always cleared everything from their minds and made them relax. Draco reached over and clasp hands with Sade.
"Sade, what if he comes back?" Draco asked quietly. "What will happen to us?"
Sade stiffened, knowing exactly what Draco was asking. Should Voldemort return, whose side would she take? She sighed before answering.
"We'll still be Draco and Sade, always." She said softly. "But you know that I'm not like that, I'm not into the pureblood mania."
"My father is, and he'll expect me to side with him." Draco responded sadly.
"Do you always do what Daddy says Draco?" Sade asked mockingly. She grew angry. "I know sometimes you're mean to Muggleborns and what not but that's how you were brought up. You're old enough now to make your own decisions. Who would you pick?"
"Sade, I…I don't know." Draco stuttered.
Sade ripped her hand away from his. "I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"I'm sorry Sade, I just wanted to know what you would do." Draco said. "I don't want to lose you."
"You'll never lose me Draco." Sade sighed, grabbing his hand once more. "But I don't want to think about this, preferably ever. I hope he never returns."
"Sade?" Draco whispered, staring at the Black Lake after a few minutes of silence.
"Mhm?" Sade hummed back softly, slowly falling asleep.
"I'd pick you."
Awwwwh 3. Well only a few more chapters until it's over….maybe the next one If not, they'll at least find out who Flamel is. Is there anything you want to see happen before the end of the story? Review and let me know ASAP! I should be updating soon, but it will be quicker if you tell me what else you want to see before the end of book 1. –TheRealMrsDracoMalfoy24
