A/N: this story is actually done! We had to finish it for English. We
might do an alternate ending. We're not sure.
Chapter Six: Halloween, Quidditch, and Oliver's Insanity
~*~ Oliver Wood's POV ~*~
Well the rest of the ball went smoothly. After Chloe and Draco made fools of themselves of course.
And my dear brother Sean who can't dance. He really needs lessons. Poor Rachael. I hope she doesn't have to cut off her toes or something.
Anyway, a good thing will happen soon. Our first Quidditch match, against Slytherin, is right after Halloween. Fun.
The new team works well together. We'll surely be unstoppable this year!
Countdown to match: 32 days, 15 hours, 28 minutes, 39 seconds.
~*~ Sean Wood's POV ~*~
Oh dear whoever-the-god-of-happiness-is! Last night was the best! I had so much fun!
Rachael was stunning, as usual. Loved the robes, loved the hair, loved her. . .
Ok, too mushy!
Err, Quidditch soon! We're playing Slytherin. Chloe's their new Beater by the way. That is very bad. I've heard she is really good.
Apparently Draco Malfoy thinks so as well *snicker*.
You know, he's gotten a lot nicer lately. I never expected that of him. Chloe MUST be good.
~*~ Oliver Wood's POV ~*~
Countdown to match: 20 days, 10 hours, 19 minutes, 53 seconds.
~*~ Chloe Jordan's POV ~*~
Oh my god. My first Quidditch match is coming up! The whole team is relying on me to stop the Weasley twin's Bludgers.
And Draco to catch the Snitch.
But, oh, what if I fail them?
~*~ Oliver Wood's POV ~*~
Countdown to match: 15 days, 9 hours, 42 minutes, 5 seconds.
~*~ Rhiannon Carter's POV ~*~
I'm so nervous! The match looms ever closer! What if I drop the Quaffle straight into the hands of a Slytherin?! Oliver would KILL me!
I just want to get it over with!
~*~ Rachael Riley's POV ~*~
Well, the match is in a few days. I'm ready. We're going to win this! Slytherin is nothing.
Sean is freaking out. It's hilarious actually.
And Oliver. . . well, he's got problems---
~*~ Ollie Wood's POV ~*~
Countdown to match: 12 days, 12 hours, 12 minutes, 12 seconds.
~*~ Rachael Riley's POV ~*~
---That was a bit late, Ollie! Slacker.
Anyway, I mostly can't wait until Halloween! Candy = yummy!
~*~ Draco Malfoy's POV ~*~
HALLOWEEN!!!! QUIDDITCH!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~*~ Oliver Wood's POV ~*~
Countdown to match: 1 day, 12 hours, 56 minutes, 31 seconds.
Oy vey.
~*~ Draco Malfoy's POV ~*~
Halloween is today! Candy is good, scaring people is better. And oh what a great day it has been.
I need to scare Chloe. She's been casually avoiding me today. She must have seen that evil glint in my eye. Mwhahahahahahahahahahaha!
Anyway, today Professor Trelawney announced that she had foreseen that she would commit suicide. The whole "informed by the fates" crap again. I personally hope she does. I can't stand her.
For once I actually agree with Granger. Trelawney IS an old fraudulent bat.
Scary stuff that is. Agreeing with Granger I mean.
I am so going to kill Potter tomorrow at Quidditch! Mwhahahahahahahahaha!
~*~ Oliver Wood's POV ~*~
Countdown to match: 0 days, 5 minutes, 32 seconds, and 41 milliseconds. No 40! 39! No---
Aw crap. Forget it.
Go, go Gryffindor! That's what the fans are cheering. Oh, I'm so nervous! I am going to slap that ugly Slytherin brute if she laughs that scary way again. That ugly person in the movie, the hehehehahahaha while pointing at us. I hate her!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate her bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rhiannon worries about me. I wonder why? I'm not crazy, no, of course not!!
Quidditch, right, we're here for our first game. Victory! IS OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rhiannon looks nice in her Quidditch robes. Red is a good color on her.
Anyway, game time!
~*~ Rachael Riley's POV ~*~
OMG! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooo nervous! I can't believe I am!! I never am nervous! I wasn't at my old school!
~*~ Rhiannon Carter's POV ~*~
Lets party like it's 1998! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Where's that Quaffle?? I wanna play! Let's start the game!!!!!!!!!!
The doors that led to the pitch opened and we all flew out. Flying is such a wonderful experience. I'm glad I'm a witch.
"And the game starts!" came the voice of our commentator, Lee Jordan (a boy). "The Quaffle is in possession of Gryffindor! Carter is flying across the pitch very quickly."
I had the Quaffle in my arms. I can't let Ollie down!! I'm must speed to the goalposts and score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***DING***
"WHOO HOOOOOO! Ten points for Gryffindor!" yelled Lee. "Slytherin in possession. Chaser Austin rushes to the goalposts! OUCH! That must've hurt! Austin got hit by a mad Bludger sent his way by Fred or George Weasley. Serves the bloody git right!"
"JORDAN!!" yelled Professor McGonagall. "Watch your language!"
"Sorry, Professor. Got carried away. Anywho, Gryffindor in possession with Chaser Riley speeding down the pitch! She passes to Chaser Wood, who. . . OWWW! Man, Beater Jordan (no relation to moi), is really good! The Slytherins all seem inspired by her masterfullness. Darn."
"CHLOE!!!!!" yelled Sean. "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HIT ME!!!! I'M YOUR BLOODY FRIEND!!!!!"
"But, it's a game, Sean. Deal with it!" she yelled back.
I rolled my eyes. People.
Now, Sean is injured and Rhiannon and I must take control of the match.
~140 points later ~
"And in an unexpected turn of events, Draco Malfoy catches the Snitch for the first time EVER, awarding Slytherin 150 points! It's a draw!"
"Draco!" yelled Chloe. "I'm so proud of you!"
"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!" Oliver was screaming. "WE COULD HAVE WON THAT GAME, MALFOY!"
"Potter, where were you?" yelled Sean.
"Boys are stupid," I said to Rachael.
"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? WE WERE SUPPOSED TO WIN!!!! I'M NEVER SPEAKING TO MALFOY EVER AGAIN!!!!!"
Wow. Problems.
