Hey all!! Oh yeah um, Maggie, Alex is actually 14. Alex was 12 when she and
Oliver first kissed, so just a correction. If that's what you didn't mean,
then my deepest apologies to you. Now back to the story!! Now Draco is
getting pretty serious now isn't he? Anyways, I thank all of you who have
time to read this story! This story is going to be really long! The
Quidditch season is almost at the finals, but there are so many conflicts
going on. Enjoy!!!!
Hufflepuff Vs. Gryffindor
Later that night, Oliver wanted to talk to the whole Quidditch Team. All of them sat down near the fireplace. Fred and George were unusually quiet. Everyone knew it was because the twins got so mad at them for that prank.
"Okay team, our next game obviously is Hufflepuff. I just got the latest news of their lineup. Not much of a challenge, but I guess we should still know." Oliver pulled out a folded paper. "Ah. The chasers are Aaron Markson, 7th year, Ryan Harkman, 6th year, and Dana Richardson, 3rd year. The keeper, Jamie Andre." Oliver's eyebrows rose. "Whatever. Okay, the beaters are, Derek Richardson, 7th year, and Matthew Owens, 6th year. Lastly, the seeker is Cedric Diggory. Who cares about his year, we all know him anyway." Oliver folded the paper.
"That sleezy, cheating, son-of-a" Angelina murmured to herself as George told her to be quiet.
"What kind of brooms do they ride?" Harry asked.
Oliver unfolded the paper again. "Sorry about that. Um, the keeper has a Comet Two-Seventy, the chasers have Nimbus 2000's, beaters have Comet Two-Seventy, and the Seeker has a Nimbus 2001. That's not much of a challenge." Oliver said.
"So what exactly are we supposed to worry about?" Kris asked.
"Their chasers are a lot bigger." Oliver told her. Kris didn't blink for 10 seconds.
"You mean, they are all taller than me?" Alex asked.
"Uhhh, I think so. No wait, Harkman is about the same height as you and Richardson is probably slightly taller than Kris. But you don't have to worry about it too much. They are a lot slower." Oliver assured her.
"Is the beaters any good?" Fred asked.
"Um, there are really slow, but they got power so you have to watch out for that." Oliver told them. "Oh yeah by the way, the game will be this Saturday as usual. And the good thing is, Madam Hooch will be refereeing."
"Good." Fred sighed.
"Hey what are the ranks of the houses so far?" Angelina asked.
"I think Slytherin is up in the lead. I'm not too sure." Alex said.
"Hmmm, ah here it is." Oliver flipped the paper. "Hufflepuff will be playing Slytherin after us. Hufflepuff lost to Ravenclaw though. Ah, Slytherin has beaten Ravenclaw. So their records should be, Hufflepuff, 1 lost and no wins, Ravenclaw, 1 win and 1 lost, Slytherin, 1 win and 1 lost, and Gryffindor, a very clean 2 wins. Looks like we have a chance, a very big chance." Oliver smiled. He wrapped up the paper. "And that's all. And before I forget, there will be practice all week at the usual time. Good night all."
Everyone left to their dormitories and went to sleep. The whole week they practiced. They did the same drills and all of them mostly perfected it. Fred and George were working extra hard on hitting the bludgers as hard as they can.
Saturday morning came, and the whole team when down to breakfast early as usual. Meanwhile, Draco and Cho were talking near the Entrance Hall.
"Do you have the torches?" Cho asked.
"Of course. We'll light them up later. Make sure they hit the end of the brooms." Draco reminded her.
"I'll make sure that all of them fall." Cho agreed.
After breakfast, they all went back to the common room. Melanie and Cristen passed by Fred and George, but they didn't say anything.
"Come on you two, you both can't be down. I need you two today. Besides, you could always get them back." Oliver cheered them up.
"Are you serious?" Fred asked.
"Yeah of course. Who says you can't?" Oliver asked. Fred and George started to think and suddenly they both started laughing.
Later, they all went down to the locker room. They all changed into their scarlet robes. Oliver didn't have to say a speech, so they all just went to the entrance gate.
Alex started leaning against the wall. She moaned. "Owwww. Ugghhhh." She almost collapsed. Oliver caught her.
"Are you feeling okay?" He asked. She rubbed her forehead.
"Yeah. I'm alright. I can still play." Alex told him.
The gates opened and then they all flew into the air. Everyone was cheering and Lee Jordan was again with the magic microphone.
"Hello!!! Welcome to the Quidditch match of Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor!!!" Jordan announced to the crowd. Madam Hooch was standing next to the crate.
"Captains!! Shake hands!!" Madam Hooch told Cedric and Oliver.
"I hope he gets knocked off his broom. Cedric, that sick bastard." Angelina whispered to Alex. They both giggled.
"The captains Oliver Wood and Cedric Diggory shake hands. They all mount their brooms. The bludgers are erupted, and so goes the Golden Snitch. Madam Hooch takes the quaffle, and it is released!!! The chasers fight for it, and Dana Richardson takes the quaffle!! She goes for the goal, and Alexandra Levons stops her! The quaffle now is in Angelina Johnson's hands. Can't escape from a Firebolt!! Johnson passes it to Mei, loops Ryan Harkman, and scores!! First 10 points to Gryffindor!!" Lee said as he put the score down. The Gryffindors cheered and cheered.
Draco and Cho were on the ground, hiding from everybody. They had unlighted torches with them, and were looking up at all times.
"The quaffle goes to Aaron Markson, passes it to Harkman, to Richardson, goes for the goal, blocked by Wood!!!! And the quaffle goes to Gryffindor again!! We could be seeing a 3rd straight win for Gryffindor today!!! Mei with the quaffle, speeding up and leaves all three chasers, fakes the goal, quick pass to Levons, and she scores!!! 10 points to Gryffindor!! Gryffindor is on a role!!! And the quaffle goes to Richardson, Mei right by her side, with a quick decision passes far to Harkman. He gets hit by a bludger from Fred Weasley and Johnson gets the quaffle. She passes it to Levons, then to Mei, and back to Johnson, and she scores!!! The score is Gryffindor 30 and Hufflepuff…none." Jordan broke out a little laugh but Professor McGonagall scolded him.
Draco and Cho were waiting. "I think it's time we should start burning." Draco said grinning evilly. They took one torch.
"Who are we going to get first?" Cho asked handing the torch over.
"We'll get Wood first." Draco said. Cho took out her wand and lit the torch.
"Wingardium Leviosa!" She said as the lit torch levitated. Then she says, "Waddiwasi!" The torch went through the air lighting up Oliver's robe. The torch then burned up and disappeared. He tried to put it out, but Dana Richardson scored. Draco and Cho laughed. Hermione and Ron had binoculars.
"Where did that fire come from?" Hermione asked.
"It came from down there!" Ron pointed out.
"I think we better check." Hermione said as they both went out of the stands.
"Next?" Cho asked. Draco pulled out another torch.
Meanwhile, Harry was already fighting for the snitch with Cedric Diggory. Alex scored another 10 points for Gryffindor. Then Draco and Cho saw Harry reaching for the snitch.
"Oh no you're not Potter!" Draco yelled.
"Don't! You'll hurt him!" Cho said.
"Shut up and do it!" Draco yelled at her. She levitated the torch and shot it at the tip of Harry's robe as it then was burning up. He saw it and took off his robe, but Cedric had enough time to catch the snitch. Hufflepuff won. The Hufflepuffs cheered as they got their first win, and the Gryffindors were silent as they had their first loss.
Draco pulled out his wand. "Cruciatus!" He yelled out pointing at Alex and then to Kris.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Alex and Kris yelled as they both fell off their brooms. They were both about to land 10 feet above the ground, but Draco struck them. They both lied on the ground, unconscious. Oliver flew straight to Alex, so did Harry to Kris.
"What happened?!" Oliver asked Angelina.
"They were right behind me, then a big light flashed. Then they screamed and fell." Angelina told him. Oliver checked if Alex was breathing, she hardly was. Same happened to Kris. Professor McGonagall and Professor Dumbledore came rushing down.
"What has happened?" McGonagall asked. Angelina explained to both of them.
"Oh my, we must take them both to the infirmary." Dumbledore said as he put them both on levitating beds.
"Why did this happen?" Harry asked Oliver.
"I don't know. But I have a feeling it has to do with Malfoy." Oliver answered.
"Malfoy!? If it was him, why did he attack Kris and Alex? Why couldn't he just attack you or me?" Harry asked.
"That's what I like to know." Oliver said.
Meanwhile, Cho and Draco were talking and they saw Ron and Hermione.
"Well, well, well, how predictable. It's Malfoy and Cho-bacca Chang." Ron said.
"Shut up Weasley!" Malfoy yelled.
"Just wait till we both tell Professor McGonagall on both of you." Hermione warned them.
"Shut up Mudblood!!!" Cho said as she took out her wand.
"Expelliarmus!" Ron said as he took Cho's wand.
Then Draco pulled out his wand, but Hermione took his wand. Then Ron and Hermione started running.
