All week the Gryffindor quidditch team had been working hard to catch up with their two new
members. Today was their last day to practice because tomorrow morning was the game.
Wood blew the whistle for everyone to come down.
"Good practice! Good practice! Okay now if you put this kind of effort in tomorrow..."
"We will win...blah blah blah," said one of the beaters, Lyle Jordan.
"Okay...now go get some rest," Wood said, ignoring Jordan.
Lara ran up to Lucidia.
"Good practice today!"
"Yeah," Lucidia agreed.
"Do you think we will win tomorrow?"
"Hopefully," Lucidia said and Lara stopped.
"Lucidia-I just wanted to thank you...for giving up being a seeker for me.."
"You're my friend...what can I say?"
Lucidia walked up to the castle and Lara just stood there, staring at her.

The next morning the team went down early to the locker rooms to change.
People soon started piling into the stadium. Sirius was in the stadium.
"Sirius?" came a voice and Sirius turned around.
"HARRY!" he said and they hugged each other.
On the Slytherin side were Permia's parents. Permia was the seeker for the Slytherin team.
Draco, of course, had bought her way in.
"I'm sure our baby will win!" Vikki said and hugged Draco.
Draco just looked up at the sky.

Wood was starting to get nervous.
"Okay now, everyone follow the plan! FOLLOW THE PLAN! Lucidia do what you always do-"
"What do I always do?" asked Lucidia puzzled.
"Okay and Potter catch the snitch. Catch it fast don't lookaround. Malfoy may try and throw
you off. I don't mean put you the wrong way, I mean knock you off your broom and that
wouldn't be good-" Wood talked to himself.
"I think he's gone nuts..." whispered Lucidia to Lara. Lara nodded in agreement.
"OKAY NOW GET ON THAT QUIDDITCH FIELD AND DO WHAT YOU DO BEST! Especially
you, Lucidia."
"WHAT DO I DO BEST?" Lucidia said, aggrivated.

They walked out on the field and took their places.
"Shake hands!" Madame Hooch said.
Wood and Dickson just slapped each others hands.
"AND GO!" Hooch blew her whistle.
"AND THEIR OFF!" said the commentator. "Mayson from Gryffindor gets the ball first and
she throws it to Larson. Larson makes a move to throw it in the goal-OH NO! Madison from
Slytherin gets it and she tries to pass it-GOOD SAVE LUCIDIA! AND BLACK THROWS IT IN!
ten points!"
Lara was circling the field, followed by Permia.
"Well-if it isn't Lara. Think you can beat me do you?" said Permia, coming up next to her.
Lara muttered something and flew faster.
"And Black has the ball again! She is going to make a goal in the fifty point hoop-AWE NO!
Rocky nearly pushes her off her broom and she drops it! YOU FILTHY!!!!! GOOD SAVE, LARSON!
And the ball is back in Gryffindor's hands. FIFTY POINTS! Anderson, from Slytherin, has it now
and she scores. The score is now sixty to ten."
Lucidia flew and grabbed the ball. She was flying over to the Slytherin posts when suddenly...
WHAM! She was hit in the stomach with a buldger. Lucidia flew backwards into the Slytherin
stadium and let the quaffle go. She cursed under her breath and flew up. Lucidia then saw Lara
and Permia diving...Permia kicked Lara's broom. Lara pushed Permia aside.
"Come on, Lara. Come on!"
Suddenly, Lara swished up and Permia flew into the ground. Lara, then, showed the gold ball
in her hands.
