Chapter 19: Slytherin Versus Gryffindor
Simone
I awoke the next morning, but the sun wasn't out yet. I couldn't sleep. I glanced at my sister, watching her peaceful face. You'd think I'd wake her up now, but I just couldn't. We need all our energy for our first Quidditch match.
I turned onto my right side and fell into a dreamless sleep.
"Simone?"
"Ugh!" Who was waking me up at this hour?
"Simone! It's 8 A.M. We have to be on the pitch at 9!"
"Okay," I yawned. "I'm up!" I got up and looked into my sister's gray eyes.
"Ready for today, Beater?"
I giggled. "I'm always ready, Chaser."
We ran downstairs without Jordan, Lisa, and Christina. Unfortunately, Jeffery was already in the Great Hall.
"We're going to win today! I can feel it," he said as we approached the Gryffindor table.
"Don't worry about him," Amber whispered.
"Yeah," Ruth added. "He always gets like this before a match."
We all laughed, despite Jeffery's sullen glare.
Justin and Landon finally came down, rubbing their eyes. "What did we miss?" Justin asked.
"Aw, you know, the usual," Amber told him. "Jeffery's just getting his knickers in a bunch over the match today."
"He expects Arissa and Simone to do all the work," Ruth informed them.
"They can't! I'm the damn Seeker!" Landon said, his face turning as scarlet as his hair.
He just noticed the gleam in their eyes. "You were joking?" he asked dumbfounded.
All four of us girls laughed. "We do this every year," Amber told us. "It doesn't feel like a Quidditch match without teasing one of the guys."
"I'm surprised they haven't figured it out yet," Ruth said, laughing.
"Aw, shut up, Ruth!" Justin said, lightly punching her on the shoulder.
We ate quickly, because of Jeffery, and then went in the locker rooms to change into our scarlet Quidditch robes.
I picked up my club, and my Lightening Bolt, and joined the ranks among my teammates.
"Scared, Simone?" Amber asked me.
"Nope. Arissa? You scared?" I asked.
"Hell no!"
We laughed again and flew out onto the pitch, amongst our cheering classmates.
Madam Hooch came out with the Quidditch box. "I want a nice, clean game," she said, glaring at the Slytherins.
She blew her whistle, and we were off!
Amber had the Quaffle. She zoomed off towards the goal, narrowly missing one of the Slytherin Beaters. She passed the Quaffle off to Ruth, who in turn passed it to Arissa.
"Come on, Arissa!" I yelled, hitting a Bludger towards a Slytherin that was about to hit my sister.
She flew faster on her Lightening Bolt. She shot the ball towards the goal, only to have it hit back by the Slytherin Keeper.
It went like that for about fifteen minutes, until finally; she made the first goal of the game! After that, Amber and Ruth made goals. Slytherin had yet to score!
"Arissa! Look out!" I yelled several minutes later.
I was too late. She took a Bludger to the back and fell off her broom.
"ARISSA!" I screamed.
I looked at Justin, but he shook his head, meaning that we still had to continue playing, without Arissa. I nodded and hit a Bludger towards the damn Slytherin that almost killed my sister. Now, it's payback!
I looked out of the corner of my eye, only to see Landon speeding after something. It took me a second to realize that it was the Snitch!
Robert Crabbe was flying after him. "I hope his brain doesn't fall out!" I thought bitterly.
Landon pulled a magnificent stunt before catching the Snitch! We won 180-0!
I landed, and ran back to the Hospital Wing to be with my sister, despite what the others said.
Madam Pomfrey was in the back of the Hospital Wing with Arissa.
"Simone! What are you doing here?" she asked.
Madam Pomfrey glared at me. "I'm her sister," I said. "Can I see her?"
"Yes, but only for fifteen minutes."
"Did we win?" Arissa asked as soon as she left.
"Yep. 180-0," I said. "Are you alright?"
"My back hurts. Madam Pomfrey says that there's a huge bruise on it."
"Well a Bludger did hit it."
"Shut up! I'm in pain!" she whined.
We were interrupted by two voices.
"Oh my God! Arissa, are you alright?" they asked
We turned towards the intruder, about to tell them off, but we couldn't.
Our parents were standing in front of us.
(A/N) Wow! My back hurts from typing that chapter out! Anyway, review!
