Alright, here's chapter 5!I finally updated, and got a good idea for a new
chapter…any suggestions, I'll take!!!!Enjoy, this is from Snape's point of
view.
Chapter 5-Quidditch Match
I still couldn't get over the fact that Raie was completely stuck up. She had not only talked back, but had an attitude. She seemed so nice, and innocent, but this is where I am comparing her to her mother. Her mother always tried to find something to argue about, or someone she could talk back to. I had to stop and think if the only reason why Raie appealed to me was because of my liking to her mother, but I absolutely thought negative of it. Raie was in many ways unlike her mother, and she still resembled Sirius, but in a feminine way.
I made my way down to breakfast, as I indured Minerva McGonagall's worried speech.
"She never turned up last night, Miss. Weasley was extremely worried."she blundered on. I was not about to tell her that Raie had stayed in the dungeons last night.
"She's back though, is she not?"I asked, playing along.
"Yes, she turned up at breakfast, and as everyone asked where she had been, she didn't seem to answer,"Minerva said, fiddling with the chain on her belt.
"But, Minerva, the fact is that she turned up, and she does not seem to be harmed in anyway," I said, and I actually felt guilt in my chest. I didn't hurt her, or atleast anything other than her feelings.
"Well, Severus, we should get to breakfast," she said, turning the knob on the door to the back entrance of the Great Hall.
As I entered the hall, the strong aroma of sausages and pancakes entered my nostrils…but that did not distract me from finding Raie in the crowd, sitting next to Harry and Hermione. Hermione, although, did not seem so happy about this. Harry, unfortunately, was. I had noticed though, that Hermione's grades had been falling, ever since Raie had started taking advanced classes.
I sat down, and listened to Professor. Flitwick's continuing squeaks, as he explained a complicated charm.
Raie, for no apparent reason looked up at me, and we locked eyes. She smiled sweetly and returned to her conversation.
I was hoping, all through breakfast, that she might look up one more time, but she never did. All I could think was of the upcoming Quidditch match, Gryffindor v.s. Slytherin.
I decided, in a teacher-apparent way, to wish Raie good luck at the match. I got up and made my way along the Gryffindor table, stopping behind Raie.
Ron, looked up at me, and in a nonchalantly way, advised Raie that there was someone behind her.
She turned around and her eyes got really big.
"All I wanted to do, is wish you good luck at the Quidditch game today, even if it is against…Slytherin,"I sneered, trying to appear not sappy.
"Oh, well thank you,"she started, "but I would like to wish your house of Slytherin better luck…you've got Draco Malfoy as a seeker, your really going to need it,"she sneered back, just as mean.
"And what is that supposed to be," I said, I saw Hermione with an expression of aw on her face.
"It means, I honestly reckon that you could catch the Snitch before Draco, and that's saying something,"she said, snarling, "now, will you all excuse me?" she said, getting up from the table, and heading in the other direction.
I couldn't bring myself to take points away, but, that, I will have to get over…soon.
* * * * * *
I found myself running around the outside Quidditch marsh. I couldn't find the entrance to the Gryffindor locker rooms, and I wanted to wish Raie good luck.
As I turned at sudden corner, I ran smack into Fred Weasley, who found himself just as surprised.
"Sir, excuse me, I didn't watch where I was going," he said, his face suddenly pale.
"You should be more careful, 5 points from Gryffindor," I answered, and continued around the corner.
I ran down a long, straight hallway, with the tiles cracked. I was worried I might fall in one.
I found Raie, sitting anxiously on a bench. She looked worried, and just as pale as Fred did.
"Sir, am I not supposed to be here?"Raie said, standing up, and grabbing her broom, a Firebolt.
"No, no, you're fine."I said, stepping closer.
All of a sudden her face went into a smirk "You're are looking for an apology aren't you?" she asked, rolling eyes.
"No, not at all,"I answered, I didn't want her mad at me, not just yet.
"Alright," she answered, and made her way past me.
"Wait," I said, grabbing her arm as she passed.
"What is it now?"she sneered at me.
"Never mind," I said, letting go of her arm.
She quickly ran down the hall and into the locker room.
I rolled my eyes. What an ignorant peach she is. I couldn't believe that I didn't say anything, that girl makes me nervous, and I cant do anything about it.
I turned, and headed toward the teachers' viewing area. Minerva and Albus were sitting, craning there necks to see the first game of the season.
I moved to the other side of Professor Dumbledore. He smiled and returned to viewing the entrance.
All of a sudden, the crowd burst into applause as the Gryffindor Quidditch team entered the stadium. I turned to see Raie standing a good view inches shorter than everyone else. I saw her look up, and I don't know who she was looking at, but she waved. Across the stadium, the Gryffindor stood, waving banners with lions on them.
A smaller applaude arouse as my house of Slytherin stepped onto the platform, across from the Gryffindor team. I was actually disappointed that Gryffindor was such big competition for the Slytherins.
Madam Hooch entered the field, signaling the teams to enter onto the playing field. The players mounted their brooms, and zoomed off toward the middle of the field.
As the captains shook hands, Raie's eyes widened, as she saw the size of the crowd.
"1…2…3…GO!!!"Madam Hooch yelled, then, blew the whistle.
Raie sped off toward the goal posts, taking her position as Keeper. Draco Malfoy zoomed to that side of the field, and said something to her, that only Raie could here.
She smiled and dropped a little, as Katie Bell stole the Quaffle and headed toward the Slytherin's goal. Alicia Spinnet grabbed the Quaffle from Katie, just as Slytherin Beater, Stephen Jenkins, slammed the Bludger at her. Alicia scored.
"10 Points to Gryffindor!" yelled Lee Jordan, who always commented the games.
Harry and Draco were slamming into each other, as they raced around, searching for the Snitch.
One of the Slytherin Chasers was speeding toward Raie, who's eyes opened wide. He acted as if he was going to through the Quaffle into the left post, but changed his mind, and chucked it to the right post. Raie recovered and grabbed the Quaffle as if it was nothing. All the Gryffindor's in the stand stood up and cheered. Raie slowly forced herself into a smile and through the Quaffle to Katie.
"Wonderful, spectacular save by Gryffindor's new Keeper, Raie Black, pretty smashing young lady she is, quite good-looking too…"Lee Jordan started.
"Jordan!Game!" yelled McGonagall.
"Yes…we watch as Alicia Spinnet heads toward the Slytherin's goal, and she shoots…she SCORES!!!!10 points to Gryffindor!!!!"Jordan yelled excitedly!
As the Quaffle's were passed around the stadium between teams, every time Raie made a save, it was spectacular, everyone else thought so too, she seemed to make the right moves, at the right time.
But all of a sudden, Draco Malfoy sped straight toward her, and she dropped on her broom as fast as she could. Harry saw what was happening and zoomed straight at Malfoy. Raie screamed, and zoomed out of the way. The Snitch was hovering right by Raie's curly hair. And Harry and Draco saw it at the same time. Raie screamed again, as Draco and Harry hurtled forward at the at the same time. As she moved upward the snitch seemed to follow her. She pulled away at the exact moment Draco made up his mind to endanger Raie and get the snitch for his team. Raie's piercing scream rattled the stadium, as Harry sped toward them.
After everthing settled, Harry lifted his hand…and there, in his grasp, was the Snitch.
Draco had the most murderous scowl on his face, and Raie sped over and wrapped her arms around Harry, as the rest of the team came to join them.
I stood up…I was full of fury. One, Slytherin lost, and two, Raie had her arms around Harry. I know that it was pathetic to think, but I was as jealous as a young boy.
"Ah, Severus, good game, do you agree?"Dumbledore said, tapping my shoulder.
"I suppose," I sighed, "have we found our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" I asked, hoping, perhaps he'd give me the position.
"Why, yes we have. Remus Lupin is going to return…"Dumbledore said, standing up, and following Minerva out of the stadium.
"What?" I mouthed, this seemed impossible.
