The Quidditch Games
The Quidditch Games
Everyone walked down to the quidditch pitch that was around the corner from the Weasleys' house. They all took their brooms down to the pitch and Kiran's uncle Harry brought his box of quidditch balls. Everyone had a chance to play except Mrs. Weasley, Neville and Sarah. Mrs. Weasley claimed she had a sore arm, Neville said he wasn't very good and Sarah said that she would be the referee. They went and sat with the kids on the bench while the rest of the adults played. Since there were so many people they had to have two shifts. For the first shift, the all the adults played. On one team there was Kiran's dad as keeper, her uncle George and uncle Fred as beaters, her uncle Harry as seeker, and her auntie Angelina, aunt Alicia, and auntie Ginny as chasers. On the other team Kiran's uncle Bill played keeper, her uncle Charlie played seeker, her auntie Ashley and her uncle Felipe were beaters, and her uncle Percy, aunt Penelope, and aunt Padma played chasers. Kiran's aunt Hermione said that she would be a spare if anyone got hurt or couldn't play. They release the balls and started the game. Right from the beginning the game became very serious and brutal. Five minutes into the game Kiran's uncle Percy was nearly knocked off his broom by a speeding bludger hit by George. Ashley quickly flew over to the bludger and whacked it towards Angelina. Angelina ducked, missed the bludger, tried to swerve around Bill but he blocked the quaffle from going in. Charlie and Harry were circling above the pitch keeping an eye out for the snitch. Felipe had whacked a bludger towards Alicia and she dropped the quaffle. Padma quickly caught it, passed it to Penelope and scored. After a half an hour neither Harry nor Charlie had see the snitch. The score was 50 - 40 for Kiran's dad's team. Finally Harry faked that he saw the snitch and dove towards the ground. Charlie, who was at the other end of the pitch, dove towards the ground too. At the last minute Harry pulled out of the dive but Charlie didn't have time. Charlie jumped off his broom so he didn't go head first into the ground. Harry had pulled a Wronski Feint. Charlie just laughed and commented Harry on a good move. Charlie climbed back on his broom and the game continued. Fred had hit a bludger towards Padma but Ashley had hit it back towards Alicia. Alicia (who had the quaffle) dropped it and quickly ducked from the zooming bludger. Ginny caught the quaffle and scored. Five minutes later Padma got the quaffle, passed it to Percy, who ducked a bludger hit by George, tried to score but Ron quickly saved it. Finally Charlie had seen the snitch. He dove towards the ground but Harry had seen it too. Harry (who had a much faster broom than Charlie) pulled ahead of him and caught the snitch. Harry's team won 210 to 40. The kids quickly split up into teams and started their game. On one team there was Kiran as seeker, Keelin as keeper, Luka and Rhea as beaters, and Elijah, Larissa, and Ariel as chasers. On the other team Easter was seeker, Aileen, Aramis, and Lilly were chasers, James and Chavi were the beaters, and Hunter was the keeper. Rylan decided to spare because the last time he had played quidditch with them he broke his arm. Hermione volunteered to referee the game. Hermione blew her whistle and everyone kicked off the ground. Easter and Kiran flew up above everyone so they could get a better lookout for the snitch. Aileen quickly caught the quaffle but Rhea hit a bludger straight at her. Aileen quickly moved away so the bludger just barely missed her. Aileen passed the quaffle to Aramis but Elijah intercepted the pass. Elijah had to swerve around a bludger hit towards him by James. Luka flew up to the bludger and smacked it towards Aileen but she had flown out of the way. Elijah faked to the left so he could get around Hunter, and scored. Larissa quickly got the quaffle but dropped it because Chavi had hit a bludger straight at her. Larissa tried to regain the quaffle but Aramis got there first. Then suddenly. WHAM! Aramis was nearly knocked of his broom by a stray bludger. Hermione quickly blew her whistle and called a time out. Padma had come running onto the field. Aramis flew to the ground with a mouth full of blood. The bludger had just hit him in the mouth. His teeth were all in his mouth but his lip was cut. Aramis decided to sit out for a bit and let Rylan play. Hermione blew her whistle again. Everyone was up in the air. There was no sign of the snitch. Keelin had blocked two goals but letting a third shot in. Ariel, Elijah, and Larissa each took shots at Hunter but only one went in. Bludgers were hit in every direction by each team's beaters. Kiran was nearly hit but flipped upside-down on her broom to avoid it. She was not the only one to get a close call with a bludger. Both Rylan and Hunter nearly got hit but James quickly hit one away from Hunter while Chavi was frantically trying to get to the other side of the pitch to save Rylan from the other bludger. Finally Kiran had seen the snitch. Easter had seen Kiran dive so she followed. They were side by side trying to shove each other to get at the snitch. A stray bludger came hurtling towards the both of them. They split up but lost sight of the snitch. Aileen attempted to score but Rhea hit another bludger at her so she passed the quaffle to Lilly who scored. The score was tied at 20 - 20. It was starting to get dark. Both seekers knew that they had to end the game soon or it would be almost impossible to find the snitch in the dark. Finally the snitch appeared flying around Hunter. He quickly called out to Easter so she zoomed to the end. Kiran, who was closer to Hunter than Easter, heard the call. She flew towards Hunter. James tried to hit a bludger at Kiran but Rhea hit it back towards Lilly. Kiran finally caught the snitch. The game was over so everyone flew back to the ground. Ariel passed Harry the quaffle, who put it back in the box. Fred and George tackled the bludgers and wrestled them back into the box. Kiran, who still had the snitch tightly in her hand, strapped it in beside the quaffle. Everyone started to walk back to the house. Once everyone got back Mrs. Weasley announced that everyone was sleeping over except Rylan and his parents, Aramis and his parents, and Charlie and Sarah. Rylan and his parents had to go to his dad's grandmother's birthday party. Aramis and his parents had to go back to France (where they live) and go shopping for his school supplies because they aren't available in Diagon Alley. Charlie had to go back to Romania. There was a report of an illegal dragon breeding that Charlie had to go check out so Sarah went with him.
The Excitement
Kiran, Rhea, Lilly, and Easter went up to Kiran's room while Aileen, Ariel, Larissa, and Chavi went to the guest bedroom across the hall. Elijah, Luka, Keelin, and James were all spending the night in the guest bedroom three doors away from Kiran's room. They all got dressed in their pajamas, brushed their teeth, said good night and went to bed. Kiran, Rhea, Lilly, and Easter stayed up talking. "Hey Easter, what's it like at Hogwarts?" Rhea asked as she rolled over in her sleeping bag towards Easter. "It's so much fun. You meet a lot of different people. There are portraits all over that move and talk. You have to watch out for the stairs though. They move all the time. You can get lost so don't wander off too much." She answered. "Cool. Hey I heard that they have ghosts at Hogwarts. How are they?" Lilly asked. "Well the four house ghosts are okay except the Bloody Baron. He is the Slytherin ghost. He's pretty grumpy so watch out. Nearly Headless Nick is cool. He always helps out Gryffindors when they need it. The Grey Lady is the Ravenclaw ghost. You don't see her much but she is really nice. The Fat Friar is the Hufflepuff ghost. He is really nice. There are other ghosts like Moaning Myrtle. She haunts the girl's washroom on the first floor." Easter explained. "Yeah my dad told me about her. I heard that a basilisk killed her. She was crying in the bathroom and a basilisk came in. I read that if you stare into the eyes of a basilisk then you die instantly. That's what happened to Myrtle." Kiran said. "I heard that too. Is Myrtle nice though?" Lilly asked. "Oh yeah as long as you don't make fun of her and you don't mind her sobbing all the time. The one that you really have to watch out for is Peeves the Poltergeist. Now he is trouble. He always plays tricks on you. He is very annoying. The only one in the whole school who he actually listens to is the Bloody Baron." Easter answered. "Are there any teachers that we should watch out for?" Rhea asked nervously. "There is one. Snape. He is the potions master. He always makes an extra effort to take points off of the houses except Slytherin. Snape is the head of Slytherin so he favors them of course. He always takes points off Gryffindor. He despises Gryffindor students the most." Easter replied. "Oh he just sounds pleasant." Lilly said sarcastically. She continued. "Who are the other house heads?" Easter cleared her throat, "The head of Hufflepuff is Professor Sprout. She teaches herbology. She is really nice. Professor Flitwick is the head of Ravenclaw. He teaches charms. He's a funny little guy who has to stand on a stack of books when he teaches to actually see the students. It's quite entertaining because every so often he falls off. The head of Gryffindor is Professor McGonagall," "My aunt." Rhea interrupted. "McGonagall's your aunt?" Easter asked. "I didn't know that." "She's her dad's aunt." Explained Kiran. "Wow Aileen never said anything, although, the others probably knew and they never tell me anything. So anyway you know all about her then." Easter asked. "Well I know that she teaches transfiguration and is really strict but fair." Rhea answered. "Yeah. She doesn't really favour the Gryffindors. I wish she did. Well anyway. There is someone you should watch out for that isn't a teacher. It's Argus Filch the caretaker. You also have to watch out for his cat Mrs. Norris. The two of them are so nosey and will do anything to get a student in trouble." Easter explained. "Uncle George and uncle Fred got in so much trouble with them." Lilly said.
"So did your mom and our dads." Kiran said to her as they all laughed. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Girls get to bed. You got a big day tomorrow." Said the voice on the other side of the door. "Okay mom." Lilly called out. The girls laid back down in their sleeping bags and went to tried to go to sleep but couldn't. You could hear giggling and whispers coming from their room. The parents heard it from downstairs in the kitchen. Hermione apparated into the girls' room. She told them to be quiet and go to sleep. Finally the girls rolled over and went to sleep.
