Chapter 4: Quidditch consequences

Days passed and there was no change since that one quidditch practice. Hermione continued to be angry and didn't speak to Ron. She was most angry when Ron answered everything correctly. Hermione spent most of her time in the library.

Finally the morning of the Quidditch match came and Harry and Ron talked about it.

"Look Ron- it'd be really good to win this game." Harry smiled. "Fairly."

"Fairly?"

"Yeah.that means.control your necklace. This past Quidditch practices you've been all over the place with you abnormal strong blocking and hitting balls at the same time."

"Abnormal? What I can't be strong?"

"No-it's just.You see, the reason why I'm not so worried about today's match is because you've got that necklace but, lets not have the score be 400 to 0 Gryffindor winning. Make it look real."

Ron sighed. "Alright but I dunno- this necklace has got a mind of its own." Ron looked behind his and saw Hermione standing her mouth open. "What do you want?"

"Huh-oh well.I just wanted to wish you guys luck." Hermione said. "Like you need it." Then Hermione walked off swiftly.

"She's doing some serious research." Harry said.

"Stop shaking Ginny." Ron said.

"I can't help it!" Ginny cried.

"You were like this the last game, and you remember what happened." Ron said.

"I do." Ginny said as they walked out onto the field.

Ron was actually nervous too. What he did to some extraordinarily good things? People would look at him like he put a curse on himself to do well.

"A nice fair game everyone." Madame Hooch said. Ron felt Harry's eyes on him. The whistle blew and Ron got ready to block. Harry zoomed of into the distance and Teri took immediate action . "Teri Trescher from Gryffindor immediately takes the quaffle.and passes it to Ginny Weasley good to see she's still on her broom.yes, yes I'm sorry Professor it came out."

"We can never have responsible speakers." Prof. McGonagall said sadly

"Now that was just-ooh looks like Ravenclaw's unbeatable beater Brent Vigor had a bludger give Gin Weasley a scare- the Quaffle drops magnetically into Ravenclaw chaser Chance Aygot's hands."

Ravenclaw had the Quaffle. Ron got in a blocking position.

"And Prudence Berryhill of Ravenclaw has the Quaffle and is racing to the Gryffindor posts- a bludger is zooming at her, she throws- and Josie Deshant from Gryffindor catches it and heads off to the other side."

Ron sighed. Josie had saved him. The heat was off him.

"And.Josie Deshant scores! 10-0 Gryffindor leading."

Ron looked up and saw Harry hovering above him.

"Cho Chang's seeker."

"I see." Harry said then eyed Ron suspisciously. "Is there something you want to comment on?"

Ron shook his head and concentrated on the game.

"Berryhill takes the Quaffle and-will you look at that! It seems seeker Cho Chang has spotted the snitch and Harry Potter zooms over to that area."

Ron smiled. Good. Harry will win the game before Ron had to do anything abnormal-

"Ooh! Berryhill zips to the Gryffindor Goal post and- and a bludger is flying- Berryhill throws-the bludger and the Quaffle are going to crash!"

Ron looked at the Quaffle coming toward him-and all of the sudden Ron felt a rush of energy and boldness- the bludger was going to hit him and the Quaffle was going to go through the hoop- and Cho Chang was going to get the Snitch. Not if he could help it.

Ron lifted his legs- his arms holding his weight- and kicked both the Quaffle and Bludger away from him. The Quaffle and Bludger zoomed away. And everything began to go at normal speed.

The whole audience gasped and stared.

"Oh! That was- incredible- that was- Ron Weasley kicks both the Quaffle and Bludger off into the distance and the bludger hits Seeker Cho Chang and sends her over to the Ravenclaw side!"

Ron looked at Harry and Harry looked at him. They shared this one look- Ron couldn't understand. Harry sighed and grasps something in front of him.

"And Harry Potter catches the Snitch and Gryffindor wins! Ah a short but significant game."

***

"Will you stop walking so fast?!" Ron said.

"Good game!" Someone said to them.

"Thanks." Harry and Ron said together.

"Oh and Weasley.that kick.mag-nificent."

Harry got an annoyed look and walked faster, Ron jogging to keep up.

"What is your problem? Are you mad that I did that cool kick?" Ron said.

Harry stopped and glared at Ron. "Its just- Ravenclaw should of won."

"I'm sorry- I didn't know you wanted to lose."

"No- Its just- that necklace. Obviously it is doing what its suppose to."

"And."

"Look, I know you're feeling really heroic and special right now but you can not keep that necklace. It could of hurt someone- it almost hurt Cho."

"So.I can't keep a necklace because it almost hurt your someone that you once said you cared for no more?" Ron said angrily and followed Harry into the Great Hall.

"Hey!" Someone yelled. "Great Game. Quick and cool."

"Whatever." Ron said as they sat down. "Look Harry- before you agreed that this necklace was okay to keep."

"As long as everything ends good and Ron this is definitely not good!" Harry whispered, frantically added food to his plate.

"Okay so winning is not good."

"No.hurting people is not good."

"I thought we were in this together." Ron whispered madly, adding food to his plate too. "Maybe you should go join the other side- the one Hermione's on- you sound just like her."

"Well, maybe she was right because you are really thinking thickly these days!"

"Ron!"

"Yeah, great game, whatever!" Harry said and they looked up and saw Cho smiling at them.

"Cho!" They said together.

"Hi-err. I wanted to speak to Ron."

"Look I'm sorry about that bludger..."

"Oh that's alright- I thought it was pretty cool."

"Huh?" Ron and Harry said together.

"Oh.okaay." Ron gathered up his food on his fork.

"Look.I was wondering if you were busy Saturday."

Ron dropped his fork. "Wh-why?" Ron didn't dare look at Harry. He lifted his glass . "You're probably busy." Cho said and bit her lip. "Because I was wondering.if we could hang out."

Ron's mouth opened, but his drink didn't go into it. Instead it splashed onto his plate. Ron didn't know what to say.

"Come on Ron, are you. busy Saturday?" Harry said, trying to hide his anger.

Ron looked at Cho. "Actually I."

"Oh I understand! It's all right. But remember I'm always available." and Cho walked off, humming.

Ron and Harry sat there quietly. Then Harry shook his head and got up.

"Where are you going?"

"Library."

"You can't stand that I got asked out by Cho, right?" Ron said getting up and following Harry. "Your just mad that your not the Quidditch hero and I am."

"Funny how you had to get a necklace for it." Harry said.

"Ooh-ohh." Ron said angrily. "Maybe I should go out with Cho.it wouldn't make you mad, right?"

"Go ahead- its what you want."

"No it isn't."

"Yes-it is. The necklace gives you what you want and you wanted Cho to want to go out with you."

"No! No!" Ron said and Harry walked more. "This isn't what I want- this isn't what I want!" Harry was already gone. Ron leaned against the wall and frowned. "This-isn't what I want."
