Chapter 17 the unforgettable match
The days went bye quickly as the first game of quidditch was coming up against Slytherin. Harry and Avalon have kept been trying to take the necklaces off using hexes, charms, anything, but it wouldn't work. On December 31st, around midnight, when half of the people were sleeping, including Harry himself, Avalon came screaming from the top of her lungs happy new year. Fred and George were accompanying her with LOUD noises coming from the common room, dazed, Harry grabbed his glasses and walked down the steps to see what was up. Fred, George, and Avalon were dancing in the common room while a little radio was singing happy new year. Confetti came from the ceiling following balloons of all sort.
Tired, Harry went straight back to bed, as did everyone else. Harry didn't hear the noises stop till about 12:30 when he fell asleep. The next morning, when Harry, accompanied by Ron, walked downstairs still a bit tired to see Avalon sitting in a wool chair with her legs dangling over one of the arm rests and her head on her shoulder. Fred and George were both leaning against the chair, back to both side of the arm chair, George's head was lying on the spare space on the seat as Avalon's legs were on the side. "Geesh.. animals." Ron muttered as he kicked Fred and George. "Wassamator?" Fred asked groggily. "Hey, how ya doin down there?" Ron asked looking up at him. "Go suck a lemon!" Fred hissed as he fell asleep again. "Harry has just grew humungous ears!" Ron snapped. Fred and George both flicked there eyes opened and slowly turned there heads to Harry not blinking.
Seeing no big ears, they both moaned and said "BUZZ OFF TWERP!" "Go annoy Avalon." George said snoring. "Avalon.. Harry's in trouble!" Ron shouted. "Wow." Avalon said covering her head with one of her hands. "Why are you using me?" Harry asked suddenly as Ron grunted and sat down at a table. "I dunno." Ron shrugged. "Did they wake you up last night?" Ron asked. Harry nodded.
Later in the day, Harry had to go down to the locker room to prepare for the match. He pulled on his red robes and grabbed his firebolt as he, and the other team mates made there way to the field. "GO GRYFFINDOR!" wood shouted from the side line. The new keeper was a 7th year named Jacob hassle. He was really nice with light brown hair and blue eyes with ivory skin. They all mounted on there brooms and waiting for madam hooch's whistle, then flew up. Harry looked around directly for the snitch. Malfoy kept following him, so he tried doing the wronski feint, that he'd been practicing on all month. he dove down. He could hear the whistle of the air as he made speed. He could hear faint screams as he suddenly, one inch from the ground, shot upwards. Malfoy dove into the grass breaking his nose. Blood spattered everywhere. "You'll be sorry potter!" he shouted as madam prompfrey ran to malfoy to mend it up and madam hooch called time.
"Very impressive Harry!" wood said excitedly. "Thanks." Harry replied. After 5 minutes of time, the game was on again. Blood was stained n malfoy's robes, and he looked mad. Malfoy's voice kept suddenly popping into Harry's head as he went across the sky to the other goal posts. "You'll be sorry potter!" not that Harry has ever worried about what malfoy said before, something was different. Suddenly, he heard the whistle and heard wood calling for him. He turned towards the sideline to see Avalon there pacing her self. Harry had just got glimpse of the snitch moving behind him, so he followed it as he got off his broom. "Harry. you CAN'T touch that gold thingy!" Avalon shrieked. "What? "Harry asked. Avalon hit him in the leg. "OUCH!" Harry shouted losing the snitch. "I. what'd you do that for?" Harry asked angrily. "Look Harry. I heard malfoy talkin. he said he put something in the snitch, and if YOU it won't hurt him, but if YOU touch it, you can die Harry." Avalon stated. "I heard it too." Ron said as he came up. "Me too. and he wasn't bluffing. he asked flint to put it in as he came over. He flunked. still in the 7th year." hermione said looking at wood.
"I have too. we HAVE to win!" Harry said sternly. "if you do, YOU won't win. you will lose Harry potter! And so will your team mates and friends!" Avalon shouted. Harry looked at her. he never heard her say his whole name ever since she said bye to him after they first met. "Avalon. you have no idea what this means to me. I can't lose to them. they'll put in my face all year long. Like they did all the other times." Harry replied. "Please Harry. you can't!" Avalon begged. "What if they're bluffing?" Harry asked. "What if you don't take any chances!" Avalon said exasperated. "ok. howa bout this. I'll hold it for just one second, then let it go." Harry suggested. "Can't. you gotta hold till you all get to the ground." Wood said. They all looked at him. "Harry. please?" Avalon begged.
"Gotta go." Harry said suddenly as the time limit was up. He flew off. He saw the other team looking at him, wood cursing, and Avalon screaming. "I'll e ok." Harry warned. "Better hope, Harry." George said flying downward. Harry started to look around. Suddenly, a bludger attacked him. He dodged it, but then another came hitting him. Harry shot up. Malfoy was behind him. "Ready to die potter?" he asked as he flew up to him sneering. "Better not touch the snitch for long." he stated flying off. Harry looked at the score board. It was 30 to 10. gryffindor at 30. maybe if he waits till we get 200, which would be a long time, he would have to touch the snitch. but then he saw it. He also saw malfoy darting towards it. But then suddenly happened as he necklace started to jerk him away from it. He looked at Avalon who was flying up towards him. "NOT NOW!" Harry shouted looking at Avalon then at malfoy. People started to gasp as Avalon started to fly upwards more.
Then it happened, the pulling stopped, and Harry had to make a choice. Save Avalon from falling 50 feet, or getting the snitch, or at least distracting malfoy for him to loose it. Avalon was frozen in mid air looking horrified. Words started to pop inside his head. About that guy that said Avalon shouldn't be in the wizard world or she'll die, her saying she never wants to be alone, her smile, the kiss, malfoy's sneering if he losted, him being lone last year when people thought he put his name in the goblet, him being alone when they thought he was the heir of slytherin, him being alone at the dursley's and meeting Avalon for the first time, and he and Avalon on the train to hogwarts, malfoy asking why Avalon liked him, only because he was famous? And hearing Avalon saying to him afterwards, "I don't care if your famous Harry. I don't.. I don't care if you had an evil side of you that you couldn't stop from killing people, or a vampire, all that matters that you are a good person Harry, and sweet, caring, wonderful, a friend." And then, when Harry came out of the trance, Avalon was now screaming as she fell. Harry darted downward after Avalon. 40 feet.. 30 feet.. 20 feet. 10.. Bang, Avalon had stop screaming. Harry had got to her. he dove up wards. People were now looking at him. "Avalon. you ok?" Harry asked slowing down.
Avalon nodded and hugged him. Then Harry suddenly felt very cold. He started to jerk. Then he suddenly found himself holding the snitch. It was true, malfoy wasn't bluffing. "Harry." Avalon said looking at it. "You." Avalon paused. "I don't know how I got it. it was probably near you, and when I grabbed you by the arms, must of grabbed it too." Harry suggested as he suddenly fell off his broom. Avalon was sitting on it, from sitting behind. She opened her hand and grabbed Harry's. "I. can't.. feel my hands." Harry gasped. "I'm cold. I can't breathe." Harry muttered. "Hang on Harry!" Avalon screamed. They were already risen to 80 feet. It would take the others about 5 minutes to get up to 80 feet on there brooms, and Avalon's grip on Harry was slipping. "I'm sorry Harry." Avalon said. "For what?" Harry asked. "For this." she said she let go of him, then tried steering the broom down.
Harry started to yell as he suddenly fell on the broom gripping a hold of it. Avalon was now falling. Harry was still holding onto the snitch, he through it to madam hooch's head hoping to see it and catch it, and went darting for Avalon. he didn't care that he was hurting all over. That it felt like 1000 knives were piercing his body, that he was very cold and couldn't feel anything, he had to get Avalon. "I'm sorry." Avalon said again. "What does she mean!?" Harry asked himself annoyed. Then it happened. Avalon was one inch away from the ground and froze in mid air. Dumbledore was right next to her. then Avalon fell slowly to the ground looking up at him. Harry suddenly blacked out and fell off his broom losing his senses feeling death go through his body.
