Chapter 2
Chocobo's and Qudditch
"What is that?" Raven heard Shadow ask Spyke, Spyke Shrugged. Willow and Raven looked up seeing what was in the pin, a few Large birds stood there long legs with hooked talons, and a long neck, there was a smaller one off in the corner, both Raven and Willow's eyes lit up.
"Chocobo's!" They both said happy.
"Choco-whats?" Malfoy asked, and Spyke and Shadow came to stand next to them.
"Chocobo… a large bird that can be ridden, much like a horse, or maybe a Hippogryff. They're really fun, and really very rare, my mom took Willow and I out to a field that had'em, it was cool." Raven said, leaning against the pin, looking at them.
"Hey…. Raven, look at that black one over there in the corner, by the small Red one, she the design on its side in silver…." Willow said.
"oh hey! That's the one that let us ride it in the field, wonder how it got here," Raven said, Malfoy was leaned up against the pin, standing next to Raven watching the strange beast roam around.
"Well now class, who wants to volunteer to try out one of these?" Hagrid said.
"What are they?" one of the Gyrffindor said.
"They're Chocobo's kind little beast, don't let the looks of'em fool ya, just don't get on its bad side, or it'll turn nasty," Hagrid said.
"I'll go Hagrid, do you have any Galihashi Greens? They respond better if you have some," Raven said. Hagrid looked at Raven.
"Galihashi Greens? I never thought about that…. Yeah hang on," Hagrid disappeared to go ret retrieve some and fang the boar hound sat in front of the pin, permitting no entry, which wasn't a problem, because none of the students really wanted to get to close to them. Hagrid came running back and handed some of the grain to Raven. Raven jumped the fence, not waiting for Hagrid to Move Fang and open the gate. She Approached the Black Chocobo in the corner and held out a hand with some gain across her palm, the bird looked at her.
"Wark!" it chirped Happily and began to eat it out of her hand. Once the bird was done eating it chirped again and allowed Raven to get up unto it. The bird moved closer to the gate Raven still perched on its back.
"Well done, Raven," Hagrid Said, sounding Cheery despite the fact he most likely hated her.
"well class, come on then, any one else?" Hagrid said, a few more kids stepped forward, there was maybe one Chocobo for Every two kids. Willow walked up to Raven.
"Come up then," Raven said to her, Willow hoisted herself up on to the Chocobo, Malfoy had managed to get his own Chocobo, a Blood red colored one and rather mean looking. Raven lead her Chocobo over next to him.
"Hey Malfo… I mean Draco, need help?" Raven asked him, he looked up at her and then nodded, she took the galihashi greens from him and sprinkled them across his palm, "hold your hand out flat to him now." She instructed, he did so.
"wark!" The bird said, and ate the greens then allowed Malfoy unto its back, his eyes slightly wide looking at the beast.
"…Thanks Raven," Draco said to her she nodded then looked around for Potter. She spotted him off by Hagrid, Ron was on the same Chocobo as he was, a light blue one.
"that poor bird," Willow said, Raven laughed. Raven trotted her bird over to Harry.
"Hey Potter, if you can handle that thing half as well as you can a broom, you up for a race?" Raven said slyly. Harry glared at her, then looked over at Hagrid.
"Well… I hadn't planned on showing how to race'em until Thursday but… if you want'ta Harry, I guess you can." Hagrid said, Willow and Raven smirked. Ron Glared at Raven, eyes still full of hate. Hagrid lead them out of the pin and took them to a long flat stretch the rest of the class followed, most confused as to what was going on. Hagrid instructed them to stay there at the "start line" and he ran down to where the finish line would be.
"Hey Harry, Lets liven things up a bit, The winner gets 100 galleons from the loser." Raven said.
"Fine," Harry said, Glaring at her.
"From EACH loser, to each winner," Willow said.
"Fine," Harry said again with cold confidence. Ron bit his lip knowing he didn't have 200 Galleons to spare if they lost."
"Ready!?" Hagrid yelled, "GO!!!!!!!!!"
Raven forced her Chocobo forward, its long legs beating consistently across the grass, Ravens Silver Black hair going back with each awkward gust of wind. Harry and Ron tore past them they're Chocobo's feet hitting the ground in uneven rushed steps. Raven smirked, Harry looked over his shoulder and Raven saw an excited look on his face, Harry let his Chocobo reach a more steady pace.
"Heh," Raven said, "he Sprinted, ready Chocie?" She waited until they were exactly half way across the course, Harry was already ahead, but Raven knew this Chocobo.
"Heaya," Raven said, leaning forward on the Chocobo, the Chocobo let out an all out sprint its feet hitting the ground much faster now, Ravens Hair Waving Madly along with Willows, only Willows trailed out much further. They closed in on Harry and past him up in seconds, Harry forced his Chocobo to sprint and both chocobo's raced forward, inches from passing one another. Raven Turned her head and Glared at Harry, Harry met her Glare, Raven turned her head and looked up at Hagrid, he wasn't too far away now, and Raven was getting a bit worried, she wasn't going to let Harry win. She leaned forward even further until she was in danger of falling head long ever the Chocobo's head. "Fly, come on…." The bird picked up speed and flapped its wings, the bird lifted off the ground and bent its neck down, soaring through the air, speed doubled, she Roared past Hagrid and Harry came in inches after her, Raven pulled back on the birds reins and the Chocobo flew strait into the air, Willow tightened her Grip around Raven's Waist and leaned forward, not wanting to fall of the Chocobo. The bird flapped its wings every now and then, Raven turned, the bird flapping every now and then, but she floated in one point, looking at the ground 200 yard below her. She patted the Chocobo's head and smirked. Raven nose-dived, and the bird landed softly on the ground, trotting with the momentum it still possessed. The Slytherins ran up to her side, and the Chocobo came to a halt, both Willow and Raven Sprang from the Chocobo's back, Willow following her from the bird's back. Raven and Willow Bowed and all Gryffindors looked at her, any of them who wanted to applaud her killing that though the instant that they thought it.
Hagrid commended them and Ron looked extremely sour, knowing he was not in any shape to fork over the cash. Harry glared at Raven and Willow, eyes full of hate. Draco ran up to them, followed by Shadow and Spyke. They all smiled and looked at them.
"This is great! Before the race started people where making bets on who'd be the winners, and now we're all quiet a sum richer, we should have races more often." Spyke said.
"Fat chance at that," Raven said, "Hagrid might not let us race anymore if Ron and Harry tell him about our little bet, both of them owe each of us 100 Galleons. Thus that's 200 Galleons to each of us…. When's next hogsmead trip?" They shrugged.
Not much happened the rest of the day, Hagrid gave them simple grooming tips, histories, and what not, he said they'd be working on Chocobo's for 2 to 3 weeks, which gave some of the class excided, all wanting to be able to what Raven and Willow had done… wait until Chocobo duels, if they were allowed to have any.
Later that day Malfoy sat in his dorm, taking down notes for potions, just to be ready for tomorrow's potion… it was almost time for the Quidditch match, so he got up, slipped on a robe, and grabbed his Firebolt and headed down to the common room, not many students where here, most either roaming the school, or in the library, after a while Shadow and Spyke came down. Soon after someone Draco hardly knew named Darrian Came down, he was tall and in the same year, he walked over to Shadow, so Malfoy assumed he was playing, later Jazzabelle came down followed by the other girl from her dorm, both had broom sticks. Not too long after Cyden and Akiro came down. They waited and talked for a moment, Malfoy began to wonder where Raven was…. And Willow. Willow came down the stairs, and Raven, all ten had they're brooms.
"any more?" Cyden asked, Cyden was semi-tall with Dark brown hair, tied into a pony tail.
"Nah, just us ten," Raven replied, "lets go" Malfoy looked at Raven, and when Raven glanced back, he turned his head…. Was it her silver blood that gave her the attractive glow? He shook his head.
"You okay Malfoy?" Willow asked looking at him.
"I'm fine," Malfoy replied. The ten walked out of the common room, brooms resting on they're shoulders, Raven carried a bag that twitched every now and then. They made it out to one of the fields, luckily one of the practice Quidditch fields wasn't occupied. She let the bag drop and let her broom hit the floor.
"Okay," Raven sighed, looking around, "since our other seeker got expelled last year…. Malfoy you can take his place, so you'll be the other team captain." Draco stepped forward and turned around. Raven scanned the group.
"Okay… seeing as how we have ten… we'll go one seeker, one keeper, two chasers, and one beater per team, sound good?" they all nodded. "Cyden can go as a chaser or keeper, same for Darrian, only he makes a fair beater as well, Willow is my beater, no matter what, and Spyke is normally best at being a beater, but he's a good chaser as well, Akiro, can pretty much do everything perfectly, and Shadow is regularly a beater, Jazzabelle makes a really good Keeper, and I've never met you before," Raven said, looking at the fourth girl from her dorm, "so I'm guessing you have to be whatever is left over."
"My name is Rei," she replied. Raven nodded, and Draco looked at her, thinking that it didn't look like Raven cared too much.
"Okay, since Willow's on my team, I'll take first pick, I get her."
"Ummmm… Spyke," Malfoy said.
"Okay, Akiro," Raven said.
"Cyden"
"Shadow"
Malfoy paused a moment for a second, trying to remember what Raven had told him… "Darrian"
"Jazzabelle," Rei walked over to Draco, being the last one there.
"Okay, Shadow and Akiro, you're my chasers, Willow beater, Jazzabelle keeper and I'll be the seeker." Raven said.
"Then, Spyke is my beater, Rei and Cyden chasers, I'll be seeker and Darrian is my keeper," Malfoy replied.
"Alright then, we're all situated. Every one make you're mark, here," she threw Willow and Spyke they're bats, then looked to the four chasers, "Akiro you mark off." Malfoy looked to Cyden, she nodded, Raven mounted her broom send the bludger into the air and let the snitch fly and held the Quaffle in her hands.
"Ready? Set…." Raven threw the ball some, flipped on her broom and sent the Quaffle into the air wit the tail of her broom, "GO" both chaser flew into the air and Raven rocketed up, knowing Malfoy had a head start to see the snitch. Raven soared over all the action, looking to Willow who seemed content, a few feet under her, the bat clutched in her hand, while Akiro caught the Quaffle. He zoomed off in one direction toward Darrian, and Cyden Came up next to him, ramming him with her broom, he dropped the Quaffle and she flipped over on her broom to pick it up. She flew off toward Jazzabelle, fling around Shadow as he tried to ram her, he crashed into Akiro and they flew downward, Cyden threw the Quaffle to Rei and Rei spun, knocking the Quaffle with her broom, it flew toward the goal post and Jazzabelle grabbed the Quaffle, but the force behind the Quaffle knocked her threw the goal with it. Raven's eyes went wide as she looked at Rei.
"Nice forum," Raven called.
"Ten: zip," Malfoy said, flying up to her, smiling.
"Yeah, I know," Raven said, bumping him to the side. She scanned the field for the Snitch, but continued to watch the game.
After a while it was 90:80 Malfoy's Team was winning, Raven bit her lip, it was getting dark and the snitch was impossible to see at night, even more so then in the day. Something hit her hard in the back of the head, she rubbed her head and turned, the snitch had slammed into the back of her head, she knew it, it was too small to be a bludger or a Quaffle, but where had it gone? She spotted it, it had flown down, she flew after it, but Malfoy had been tailing her the past twenty minutes, and followed her. But Raven lost it, and so had Malfoy, she cursed loudly in anger. About an hour later the score was 250:100, and Raven discovered Rei was a very good chaser. Malfoy had still been tailing her. She was getting angry now. Then a glint of Gold shown right in front of her face and Malfoy zoomed past after it. Raven began to follow, and they where now right next to each other.
Malfoy gave her a side-ways glance smirked, and Raven Perked a brow, but then she leaned forward and started to take the lead, Malfoy rammed her, she slide side-ways some and he flew passed, Willow flew at the bludger and hit it full force toward Malfoy, he stopped and it flew past his face, Spyke flew down past Malfoy and Slammed the Bludger up toward Raven, it hit her in the chest and she flew off her broom, though they were still high above the ground. She flew off her broom and reached out an arm, grasping the handle, the bludger still pressing her in the chest, throwing her back, her broom staying in stasis. The bludger kept pushing her and Malfoy looked back to see where she was, seeing she was almost off her broom all the way, the bludger finally flew upward, knocking her in the chin, she lost her grip and spiraled toward the ground, Malfoy had lost the snitch when the Bludger flew past his face. As Raven fell something moved in her shirt, she didn't take to much notice though, Malfoy dived after reaching out an arm, The ground was not to far now, and he knew she'd get hurt if she hit the ground, he dived faster grabbing her around the middle and hoisting her up onto his broom.
Her eyes flew wide, as the ground rushed up at her. She stopped suddenly, she looked up and saw Malfoy, who had saved her inches from the ground, and she couldn't help but throw her arms around him. Something moved in her shirt again, and she grabbed it as it flew out her collar, the snitch had followed the bludger and flew up her shirt when it hit her, the game was now 250:250, and they had tied, she held it and looked at it, couldn't help but laugh, Malfoy landed and, still holding her, stood up and dismounted his broom, he smiled at her, realized he was holding her, blushed some, then set her down. She smiled.
"Ummmm, thanks," she said, still holding the snitch, "I think we tied, all the others landed running toward Raven.
"Are you okay?" and "what happened?" seemed to pop up a lot.
"I'm fine, guys," she said, holding the snitch, "and the game is tied." Malfoy mounted his broom, and flew up to get Ravens broom, which still floated above the ground. He grabbed it and held it for a moment, looking at it, then flew down toward her and landed again, handing her broom, she took it and they all walked back to the Slytherin common room, talking about the game and the near 'bone-breaking' call for Raven. Though Raven and Malfoy didn't talk much…
Chocobo's and Qudditch
"What is that?" Raven heard Shadow ask Spyke, Spyke Shrugged. Willow and Raven looked up seeing what was in the pin, a few Large birds stood there long legs with hooked talons, and a long neck, there was a smaller one off in the corner, both Raven and Willow's eyes lit up.
