(Note: The Ron in this story is NOT supposed to look like the Ron in the
movie!!! Ewwww!!!)
"Aaaaaaannnnnd heeeeeeere's the Gryffindor Seeker, ouurrrrr ooowwwnnnn…HAAAAAARRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY POOOTTTTTEERRRRRRRR!!!" The new Quidditch Announcer, whoever it was, shouted into his microphone as Harry walked upon the field, waving like a movie-star as the younger girls screamed, and the older ones whispered things to each other, and Ron thought he overheard a girl say "He is NOT cute…"
Ron felt a football helmet being strapped to his head, and he could see the big crowd out of the wire on the front of the helmet. He felt his stomach tense up again.
"You're SURE this will work?" he nervously asked Seamus, Dean and Fred and George.
"Absolutely!" Dean said, "Muggle Chicks LOVE football players and skateboarders, and Wizard Girls love Quidditch players, so why not skateboard on a broomstick with a football helmet on? The new girl will just FLIP!"
"It sounds so risky…"
"Don't worry!" Seamus said, "We've super glued the skateboard to the broomstick, and if you use the Bonding Charm, your feet will stay on! And we'll do the rest!"
Ron winced and wondered if all this was really worth it. But he wanted to impress the new girl…
"Okay." He stepped onto the skateboard on the broomstick. It wobbled a bit, but he managed to keep his balance.
"Bezak!" he muttered to his shoes, and then ZAP! He couldn't lift them off the grip tape.
"Okay you guys," Seamus turned to Fred and George, "you two run and tackle the announcer and take over!"
They saluted, "Anything for our little brother's love life!" and then they ran off.
"And as for us…" Seamus and Dean lifted their trumpets up, "We'll blow these ol' things to give you a grand entrance! And then we'll use our wands to steer you around!"
Ron nodded and then said to his broomstick- or skate-broom in his case, "UP!"
He felt himself floating on air, and then waited for the signal.
"Five Points For Gryffindor and- HEY!" The announcer exclaimed and then loud rustling and shouting was heard. The big screen came on, and then Fred and George appeared on the screen, their faces expanded to fit the huge screen.
"Whassup, Hogwarts?" Fred grinned. The crowd cheered.
"We interrupt this game to bring you a spectacular stuntman! And anyways, the game was beginning to suck."
"Well put, George!" Fred then started talking, "So give it up for Gryffindor's little redhead, not to mention our little brother…"
"RON WEASLEY!!!!" They shouted, and the crowd sounded mostly confused.
TOOT! KO! EEECCCH! Dean and Seamus made an effort to play the trumpets, though terrible as they were.
Ron took a deep breath and flew onto the field. Seamus threw down his trumpet and then thrust out his wand. "Let's make this redhead airborne, ol' Wandy!"
Meanwhile up in the air, Ron tried scouting for the new girl.
"Looks like he's getting warmed up, folks!" George announced as Ron felt himself soar higher into the air, and past all the Quidditch players, who were just floating in the air, blinking at their interrupter. Ron stood on the skate-broom the way he would stand if he were tightrope walking.
"I hope this works…" he muttered to himself as he felt himself picking up speed…faster…he now felt the wind through his hair, and then he felt himself leaning to the right as he careened downwards, and then swooped upwards again.
"YAHOO!!!" he screamed into the air. He heard some members of the crowd booing.
"Looks like he's ready to begin!" Fred announced, and gave the thumbs- up sign to Seamus and Dean, who grinned and raised their wands.
"Let's RUMBLE!" Dean screamed, and then The Crystal Method began to blare on the huge speakers.
In the air, Ron felt a surge of speed overcome him, and he started zooming across the arena, blinking in pure shock.
"Oooo! What's this?" George spoke into the microphone, "Looks like our Ronnie here is about to do a loop!"
"What?!" Ron turned his head to the screen, but failed as he then felt himself zooming upwards, and then he saw the world upside down for a minute, and then was on normal view again, and then he heard some cheering. He just did a loop! This was sure to impress the girl!
"How's THAT for ya?!" Fred said into the microphone.
Ron bent low on his skate-broom like he saw Tony Hawk do in some pictures that Dean had as he felt the wind whipping through his clothes as he was getting faster. The Quidditch players had left the field, also wanting to watch the show, so that left Ron to soar all he wanted without having to dodge anyone.
He felt himself swooping down near the crowds, who were looking up at him with the roundest eyes, and then swept upwards at a 90 degree angle, so that he was soaring up towards the blue sky. He had to admit that he liked flying, and that Dean and Seamus were pretty good at controlling and steering Ron through the air. This actually was really fun and felt really cool.
"How about some UPSIDE-DOWN RIDING?!" George shouted into the microphone, and then the crowd's cheering grew louder.
Ron felt himself being jerked upwards again, and now was looking at the world again upside down, only it remained longer as he felt himself floating through the air.
The crowd roared.
"How 'bout a hundred points for Gryffindor, teachers?" the twins grinned clownishly as the Gryffindors, in red cheered and laughed.
"MORE POINTS! MORE POINTS!" They jeered, but Ron saw no teacher in sight.
And then he saw her.
The girl! She was gawking at him as if he were from another planet.
Ron then swept upwards again, and found himself right side up again. The crowd roared again.
He turned his head to face the girl, and waved to her.
"Looks like Ronnie's waving to a fan!" Fred announced, "Let's see who it is!"
The camera's view changed, and then the girl was broadcasted on the screen. She saw herself on the screen, and gasped. She turned a crimson red and hid her face. She was apparently camera shy.
Shy and quiet, Ron thought happily to himself, the way I like them.
Then, to his dismay, Ron saw Professor McGonagall storm onto the Quidditch Field, holding her purple megaphone.
"MR. WEASLEY!" She yelled in a savagely angry voice, angrier than Ron had heard her before, "Come down this instant!"
Ron frowned, but did not come down.
"Looks like the Professor has entered the arena! What will our Ronnie do for her?"
"360!!!!" Dean yelled to Seamus, who shook his head, "720!"
"1080!"
"Hey, YEAH!!!!!"
Ron felt himself being spun around, while flying and the crowd cheered. Then he felt himself flying so fast through the air that his cheeks were being flapped around in the wind. He then made a sharp 180 degree turn so that he was heading the other way.
"Let's see some spinning!" the boys both laughed.
Ron then felt himself flying forwards, but turning at the same time, so he was spinning in a spring pattern.
"THOMAS AND FINNIGAN! STOP THAT THIS INSTANT!"
Dean and Seamus jumped at the Professor who had just seen them.
"Y-yes sir!" They dropped their wands to their sides.
"BACK TO YOUR SEATS!"
They ran off, leaving Ron in the air. He stopped right in mid air.
"Uh-oh…" he muttered.
"Oh no!" Fred said into his microphone, both sounding and looking worried, "Our Ron has stopped moving!"
The crowd booed.
"Will he make it down safely?" George made it sound more like a question he was asking himself instead of the audience, who gasped; Ron even saw some of the Slytherins looking worried.
Then the Bonding Charm wore off- Ron's runners (which had VERY bad grip) slipped off the very poor grip tape.
"Oh no, folks!" Fred looked frantic and as though he might cry, "He's falling!"
And Ron plummeted to the ground.
Ron's eyes opened a few minutes later to the blue skies and the Quidditch Arena, where the spectators were still looking worried.
"He's conscious, folks!" Fred announced happily, "Lucky he was wearing a helmet!"
Ron sat up and waved, and was very glad he was wearing a helmet, for if he wasn't, he could've been killed. But he didn't even have so much of a headache.
However, he did when he heard all the cheering, for it was louder than anything he'd heard before, and the sound bounced around in his helmet, and he laid back down again.
Later, in the hallways, every student was smiling at him and patting him on the back and complimenting him. Normally Ron would've absorbed all this attention he was getting; he'd never been so popular, but today he had a girl to find. He'd talk to everyone later.
The girl was on her way to the Hufflepuff House, when Ron spotted her.
"Hey!" He yelled, and when she turned her head, he waved to her and came running over. She smiled too.
"Hi." She said casually, not showing any sign of shyness, although she was trying to hide the fact that her face was beet red.
"So…how'd I do out there?" Ron asked, cornering her to the wall.
"Oh! Fine! Actually, I thought it was great!" She smiled.
"Thank you. I hope you know that it was for you." Ron smiled. The girl gasped.
"You mean you did all that for ME? Just to impress me?"
Ron nodded.
"Oh…I…don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything except tell me your name."
She smiled. "Of course, Ron, my name is…"
Then Neville came running up the hall, "Ron! Ron! There's a big party for you in the Common Room!" Then without a response from Ron, he grabbed his arm and dragged him away from the girl.
"Nooooooooooo!" Ron nearly wept, as he saw the girl looking somewhat saddened as well.
"Aaaaaaannnnnd heeeeeeere's the Gryffindor Seeker, ouurrrrr ooowwwnnnn…HAAAAAARRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY POOOTTTTTEERRRRRRRR!!!" The new Quidditch Announcer, whoever it was, shouted into his microphone as Harry walked upon the field, waving like a movie-star as the younger girls screamed, and the older ones whispered things to each other, and Ron thought he overheard a girl say "He is NOT cute…"
