"Hey, Kay wake up. Harry
told me to wake you up before 9:30!" Hermione's voice broke her dream.
"Five more minutes." Kay
muffled from her pillow.
"In five minutes I'm
pouring cold water on you!"
"I'm up!"
"Good get ready! I'm going
back to bed."
"Back to bed, what time is
it?"
"7 o'clock."
"7 o'clock, he wants me up
before 9:30 and it's 7 o'clock."
"Shut up!" Lavender yelled
from her bed.
Kay put on her scarlet
Gryffindor robes, took her broomstick, and went down to the Great Hall for
breakfast.
***
"Eat something Kay!" Harry
said.
"Harry, I'm not hungry."
"You have to eat something,
you haven't eaten in two days!"
"I'm just not very hungry
Harry!"
"Just eat some toast,
please, for me?"
Kay looked at his face and
then to the plate, then back to his face. "Fine" she sighed putting the toast
into her mouth.
"Thank you."
***
"And here they are! Bell,
Hatter, Johnson, Potter, Spinnet, Weasley, and Weasley!" Lee Jordan roared from
the stands.
Kay looked up; her face had
two black marks under her eyes from the shoe polish she had put on. To her it
was a tradition; to the others it was just well weird. Madam Hooch told them to mount their brooms
and they were off, Kay quickly racing towards the goal posts.
"AND THEY'RE OFF, HATTER
RACING STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE GOAL POSTS AND CHASERS JOHNSON, BELL AND SPINNET TO
THE QUAFFLE. RAVENCLAW IN POSSESION, INTERCEPTED BY BELL! WEASLEY KNOCKS THE
BLUDGER TOWARDS RAVENCLAW AND NEARLY HITS ONE OF THEIR OWN CHASERS. GRYFFINDOR
IN POSSESTION BELL RACES TOWARDS GOAL POSTS…AND…SCORES! 10-0 GRYFFINDOR!
RAVENCLAW IN POSSESION, RACING TORWARDS GOAL POSTS AND HATTER… SAVES IT!"
Kay felt a surge of happiness,
they hadn't scored and she hadn't broken any rules yet.
"WAY TO GO HATTER!
GRYFFINDOR IN POSSESION…INTERCEPTED AND RAVENCLAW IS GOIG IN FOR A SECOND AND…
HATTER SAVES IT AGAIN!"
There was a crack of a bat
and Kay saw a Bludger come straight at her. It came straight at her face and
she was suddenly trying to push the Bludger away from her before it killed her.
"Someone get this thing
away from me!" she yelled.
"HATTER SEEMS TO BE TRYING
TO PUSH THE BLUDGER AWAY WHILE DEFENDING THE GOAL POSTS! RAVENCLAW IN
POSSESION, COMING CLOSER TO HATTER…THEY SHOOT AND…"
Kay now had only one had on
the Bludger while managing to stand up. George and Fred were closing in on the
Bludger and Kay was pushing harder, Harry noticing what was happening was
rushing over. Kay was now doing something that she was sure was illegal in the
British rules.
"HATTER IS STANDING ON HER
BROOM! WAS A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT! WEASLEY HITS THE BLUDGER TO THE OTHER
SIDE…RAVENCLAW SHOOTS AGAIN…WHAT IS SHE DOING! IS SHE CRAZY!"
Kay had now done some sort
of a kick flip on her broomstick and now was jumping towards the Quaffle
punching it out of the way. As she was plummeting---
"HATTER IS FALLING, WHAT
EVER MOVE SHE HAS JUST DONE SHE'D BETTER THINK FAST! WHAT'S SHE DOING, SHE'S
WHISTLING?"
Kay put her two fingers to
her mouth and started blowing, whistling to her broom. As though it was n
obedient dog it came racing right after her picking it up before she hit the
ground.
"KAY GET BACK UP THERE!"
Fred was yelling.
Kay rode up to the goal
posts again and was now kicking the Quaffle out of the way before she could do
anything.
"WELL, THAT WAS A SHOW.
JOHNSON HAS THE QUAFFLE AND IS PASSING TO BELL WHO PASSES TO SPINNET WHO SHOOTS
AND SCORES! 20-0 GRYFFINDOR! RAVENCLAW IN POSESSION, INTERSEPTED BY BELL WHO
PASSES TO JOHNSON WHO SCORES! 30-0 GRYFFINDOR! POTTER SEES SOMETHING! HE'S
GOING IN FOR A DIVE!"
Harry was now in a full
nosedive his hand almost touching the Golden Snitch when he is distracted by
another shout by Lee.
"HATTER SAVES YET ANOTHER
GOAL! WHERE DID THE CAPTIAN FIND THIS PLAYER?"
Harry blushed a little but
when he looked back down the Snitch was gone. Harry went back up and started
searching again.
"RAVENCLAW IN POSSESION!
RAVENCLAW CHASER LOSES THE QUAFFLE AS A BLUDGER COMES OUT OF NOW WHERE! SPINNET
HAS THE QUAFFLE PASSES IT TO BELL WHO… SCORES! 40-0 GRYFFINDOR! RAVENCLAW IN
POSSESION AGAIN…SHOOTS IT TOWARD HATTER WHO YET SAVES ANOTHER GOAL! POTTER IS
GOING INTO ANOTHER DIVE!"
Harry was just about a foot
away from the Snitch when a gasp was heard from the crowd, then it disappeared.
"ANOTHER BLUDGER HIT IN
HATTER'S DIRECTION! I'D SAY THAT'S A FOUL FOR GRYFFINDOR!"
"No hitting the Bludger
towards the Keeper! Foul for Gryffindor!" Madam Hooch yelled at the Ravenclaws.
"SPINNET TAKES THE FOUL AND
SCORES! 50-0 GRYFFINDOR!"
Harry saw a glint of gold
right above Kay at the other end of the field. Racing towards her Kay noticed
Harry had seen the Snitch; it was in his eyes. He flew right above her and
caught it almost falling on top of Kay herself.
"Great job Harry! You won
the game!" she yelled staring up at him. She could hug him but decided not too,
she was still in mid air.
"GRYFFINDOR WINS 200-0! I'VE
NEVER SEEN SUCH A GAME! HATTER IS ONE OF THE BEST KEEPERS I'VE SEEN IN MY
LIFE!" Kay suddenly blushed; she didn't like people bragging about her like
that.
A group of Gryffindors came
over as well as the whole Gryffindor team, as Harry and Kay landed.
"How did you learn how to
play like that Kay?" Colin Creevy asked.
""Experience." she said
shortly.
"Kay, you were excellent!"
Alicia exclaimed.
"Yeah! How come you never
played like that during practice?" Katie asked.
"Because I don't like doing
it a lot, it's to dangerous."
"Excuse us! Excuse me!" Ron
was saying through the crowd.
"Hey Ron!" Harry yelled.
"Hi Hermione!" Kay yelled
next.
"Just stay there Ron,
Hermione! We'll come to you!" Harry said as he pulled Kay with him over to the
two.
"Kay, what's that on your
face?" Hermione asked as soon as she saw her.
"Shoe polish. It's an old
tradition for me. At least I didn't have to wear my sun glasses today."
"So how did you learn how
to do that?" Ron asked.
"I don't really want to talk
about it. Will you excuse me?" Kay left and headed towards the locker room.
"What's with her?"
"I don't know but I'll find
out." Harry left too and headed for the locker room after Kay.
***
"Kay are you in here?"
Harry asked as he walked in.
"Hey, Harry." Kay said with
a sniff.
"What's the matter?"
"Harry, I just don't want
to talk about it."
"Come on Kay. What's the
matter?" he put his hand on hers and she tightened a grip around it.
"Harry thanks but I just
don't want to talk about it."
Harry went and sat next to
her on the bench and she looked at him. Is this pity?, she asked
herself.
Kay was actually crying.
A/N: Sorry about the
Quidditch game, I'll try and get more descriptive about Harry and the other
plays and the game too. So please don't flame the story because of the
Quidditch game. Anyway, how do you guys like it? Anything I should change/add?
Just tell me in a review and I'll try, it depends on the request and how much
time I have on my hands. I'm trying right now to change Kay from being a Mary
Sure to not being a Mary Sue got any ideas?
Thanks!
Kay Hatter
