Chapter 2:
A friendly game of Quidditch:
A week before I arrived at Hogwart's, I had recieved my letter saying "Due
to circumstances unknown to the students at hogwart's, the Hogwart's Express
will have to leave a day early." The only thing in my head right then was,
"All right! We get to go to Hogwart's a day early!" So, when we got to
Hogwart's they were playing a practice Quidditch game at the stadium. I arrived
there and I saw 1 Guy, with red hair and a big F on his sweater, and 1 Girl, an
especially pretty girl, standing out on the field and the rest of the people
were all lined up. So, I assumed that they were picking who would be on which
team. So, I joined them and the girl said "Alright, we need some fast
chasers on my team, anyone willing to join?" I raised my hand almost
immediately but she had already picked someone. So, the guy said "Same
thing over here, ah, yes you, what is your name?"
"It's uh. Brad" I replied.
"Alright, come on over, you're one of our chasers" he said.
This continued until it was time to pick the seekers. The girl had picked
another girl for her seeker position. This girl was in Gryffindor, I saw her
emblem and she had shoulder length blonde hair.
I found out that our captain was named Fred Weasley. He was 1 one of the beaters
for our team. I also found out the name of our keeper, Emily. She's been
Ravenclaw Keeper for a year, and I've seen her in action, she's pretty good.
We all got in formation, and we had the new flying teacher Oliver Wood (who had
just decided to quit the Puddlemore United Reserve team because Madame Hooch had
retired and Dumbledore gave Wood the job) start the game off for us. Before he
blew the whistle though, he asked us where Harry Potter was. Because I had
ridden the Hogwarts Express one compartment across from there's, I took the
liberty to tell him where he was. "He's in his room dealing with his owl
Hedwig!" I yelled "Apparently she got sick from nabbing one too many
Bertie Bott's Ever Flavor Beans".
"Oh, All right! Let the Game Begin!" Olivered yelled as he threw the
quaffle into the air.
As soon as Wood threw the quaffle into the air I pushed hard against the broom
to fly toward it and catch it. While flying, I saw Ada fly off in the opposite
direction. "Uh oh" I thought to myself "I got to make some
scores, and fast!"
I dodged as many of the other team's chasers as I possibly could when a bludger
flew straight at me. I swurved to the right to avoid it, but it hit the brush
end of my broomstick and I lost control of my broom. Right before I fell off, I
threw the quaffle straight at the goal post without looking at it, hoping, that
I would make it.
In mid-air I grabbed my broom, and hoisted myself onto it, and, unexpectingly,
the broom automatically regained itself. "All right! I'm back in the
game!" As I zoomed off. I quickly raced off, looking for the quaffle. I
heard Lee Jordan say " That was a brilliant score Dunst just shot, he
almost died in the process, but he regained his broom and now is racing towards
the quaffle. The score is currently 20 Points for Fred's team, and 30 points for
Truntle.
"Ooooh. I knew I recognized her." I said to Fred.
"Well duh! She's only been of your house the whole time you've been in
there." He said while hitting a bludger out of my way.
"Oh, uh, right... well, thanks for that, I'm gonna go grab the quaffle
now" I yelled as I flew off. I caught sight of the quaffle and tried to
grab it when I saw a blur of red and yellow and blue and silver dive toward the
ground. Halfway through the dive both seekers flew horizontally. One of the
seekers was Ada Alucinor. She revolved around our teams seeker and flew
underneath him and pushed up. Causing him to fly upwards as she flew towards the
snitch. She reached her arm out as it was a few feet away from her.
With my attention being payed to Ada, I almost got hit in the head with a
bludger, but, ducked and it flew towards another person.
The first thing I saw was the glimmering of gold in Ada's hand. I knew she had
caught the snitch.
"Well, I had an incling that they were gonna win" I told the team.
"I knew that they would win right after she kind of, well, knocked our
seeker up, making him fly straight into the tower". A few of them laughed
and I rejoined the team and saw that Clearwater's team was just landing onto the
field to greet us. We congratulated them on their victory, and I was especially
nice to Truntle. Even though I heard talk about Her and Percy being a couple, I
could still have my dreams.
I was going to congratulate Ada on her performance, when I saw her friends
talking to her. I decided not to interupt. I headed towards Hogwarts to go to
sleep to get ready for the next morning when Toni Truntle rushed up to me.
"That was some really good flying there. Would you like to be on the
Ravenclaw team?" She asked me. I was so overwhelmed with joy but I didn't
really want to show it.
"Um. Can you give me some time to think about it Toni?" I said as I
held in my emotions.
"Of course" She said. "Just tell me by the end of the week, I'd
be honored for you to be on my team. Oh and, call me T, all my friends call me
T."
"The honor's all mine" I thought but just pushed out a smile. I
thought to myself "Wow, she considers me her friend." I went to my bed
thinking happy thoughts. I dreamt of T playing Quidditch on the same team as
me". I could only hope what great things would happen next, and then, I
fell into a deep, good sleep.
