Hello!! I'm again back after a long a$$ writer's block. High School started and everything is getting hectic. But no worries, I'm trying to squeeze in time for fanfics. Hopefully I could finally finish this one off before Christmas and start on my upcoming ones. Anyways, let's get back to the story! Now for a little flashback, someone is plotting to jinx the Gryffindor Team's belongings for Quidditch. So…who do you think it is? This chapter is another songfic kind of thing (Box Car Racer – I Feel So).

After two weeks of hard working practice, the game drew near. The day before the game everyone's mood were switching every time. Eventually Hermione found out about the whole situation about someone plotting some threatening ideas. She couldn't get a clue on who would do such thing. Especially if Cho did it, she would be expelled.
"I think all of you are thinking too hard. All of you should just relax and play the game." Hermione suggested during their Morning Break.
"She's right. It could be just a threat. You know, what do you have to be afraid of Cho for? Malfoy's in Gryffindor now, and amazingly acts like one. Who's going to help Cho?" Ron said.
"Well, you're kind of right. But still, there's a chance we could be jinxed." Said Harry.
"But you know, as long as our brooms are still in our dorms, we're safe." Kris assured.
"Yeah I guess…" Alex agreed.
"But they could jinx the bludgers." Harry added as he thought of the bludger on his 2nd year that wouldn't stop following him around the game.
"Yup he's right. Charlie knows how to jinx the bludgers." Said Fred.
"He even showed us last summer before he left back to Romania." George added.
The next morning, the Quidditch Team woke up early to get an early breakfast to avoid the crowds. Every first game of the season students would crowd up so much, bickering about Quidditch. When they got back to Gryffindor Tower, it was already starting to get crowded. The team got their brooms and their Quidditch Robes and headed down to the Quidditch Pitch to dress up in the locker rooms.
"Here we are again." Said Kris as she put on her robes.
"I'll wack their heads off if they cheat." Said Fred.
"We'll get disqualified if you do." Angelina reminded him.
"Whatever." Fred replied as he put on his gloves.
Vince was quiet. He didn't say a single word. When Alex was done changing into her robes she got her broom out of the locker and gave Vince a quick glance, then slammed her locker shut. After everyone was done, Alex allowed Angelina to take over.
"Well, I know it may feel a little weird that it's not Oliver up here talking to you. But I guess this is something you have to get used to just for one year." She looked at everyone then continued. "Anyways, I've got the most recent stats of the Ravenclaw Team. The three chasers are Xavier Fishwire, Cho Chang, and Mindy Sedowsky. The beaters are Ivan Jodisk and Walter Nushack. The keeper is Laney Quarintane, and the seeker is Henry Idmere." Angelina finished reading from a magical notepad.
"Is it true about the Ravenclaw Team?" Harry asked.
"What is?" Alex asked.
"The whole team are 6th and 7th year students." He replied.
"Hmmm…yup. Most of them are 7th years. But don't mind that. We've got the skills and the strategies to beat them." Angelina reminded.
"So who's refereeing today's game?" Kris asked.
"Luckily it's Madam Hooch." Angelina replied. Alex looked at her watch.
"It's about 5 minutes to 11, best if we go to the gates now." Alex said. Everyone agreed and they all took their brooms as they left the locker rooms.
"Hoy Fred, wasn't Xavier in camp 2 years ago?" George asked as they were walking.
"Hmm…" Said Fred trying to recall. "The kid who tried to steal cookies from the elves?"
"Yeah!" George said.
"Oh yeah! He was in our camp!" Fred agreed.
"You know the beater?" Alex asked.
"Of course. Why wouldn't we?" George smirked.
"He was the one who told on us for trying to steal cookies from the elves! We didn't even do it!" said Fred.
"But you guys did try doing that right?" Harry asked.
"Errr…of course Harry! Why wouldn't we?" George patted him on the back.
"It's very likely for you to do those things anyway." Kris added. In just a few seconds, they were already at the gate.
"Vince." Angelina was calling his attention.
"Hmmm?" He responded.
"Ready?" she asked. Vince nodded. He looked at Alex who wasn't paying any attention to him. He gave up as they all could here the noise outside the gate, which was the entire student body.
"Well everyone, this is it. Mount your brooms." Alex said as they all mounted their brooms. The gates opened as they all soared up into the field. The air was really breezy and the two Houses (Ravenclaw and Gryffindor) were chanting different things. While Harry was flying around, he spotted Ron and Hermione watching in the Gryffindor section.
"LET'S GO HARRY!!! KNOCK THE BLOODY WITS OUT OF THEM!!!" Ron yelled as Hermione slapped him on his shoulder. "What was that for?!"
"Seriously you're just wasting your energy even if it isn't the climax of the game yet!" Hermione corrected him.
"Whatever." Ron said carelessly.
"GOOD MORNING HOGWARTS!!! Today is the first game of the Quidditch Season! And of course, Lee Jordan here! Now for this season, Madam Hooch, our dear Quidditch advisor, has said to add the house animal to the name of the teams. So today's game is the Gryffindor Lions against the Ravenclaw Ravens! The Lions in the maroon robes are chasers Co-Captains Angelina Johnson and Alexandra Verning, and Kristiann Meitashiro. Beaters are the well known Weasley Twins, Fred and George! Also, they're seeker Harry Potter!" The crowd erupted with a lot more applause. "And to the newest recruit of the team, Vincent Esteva as their new keeper!"
"At a boy Vince!" One of his friends yelled out behind Ron and Hermione.
"Now the Ravens in the blue robes are chasers Xavier Fishwire, Cho Chang, and Captain Mindy Sedowsky. Beaters Ivan Jodisk and Walter Nushack. The keeper Laney Quarintane and seeker Henry Idmere."
"Alright Quidditch captains shake hands." Madam Hooch called out Angelina and Mindy to shake hands. Mindy was a lot shorter than Angelina but taller than Cho. She had light brown hair and had freckles that covered her cheeks.
"May the best team win." Angelina said shaking her hand.
"May the loser take the pain, but we don't get the blame." Mindy smirked. Angelina knew that they were up to something. That phrase left Angelina even more eager to get this game over with.
"Madam Hooch takes the center field with the chest that holds the quaffle, bludgers, and the snitch. She releases the bludgers and the snitch. And of course, the snitch is worth 150 points."
"Clean game everyone!" Madam Hooch yelled out.
"Madam Hooch releases the quaffle! And the game begins! The quaffle taken by Kris from Gryffindor! She spins and loops around Cho, oh!! Hard one over there! Stolen by Chang, passes to Fishwire, attempts another pass, intercepted by Johnson! A far throw from Angelina to Alex! Alex speeding through! Man can she ride that broom! She loops around Sedowsky, fake, scores!! First ten points to Gryffindor!"
Alex had time to give a high-five to Angelina on her way back for defense. "Sedowsky going up-field with the quaffle, makes a pass to Fishwire, passes back to Sedowsky but barely catching it, makes a pass to Cho, aww!! Bludger hit by Fred or George Weasley! My must that hurt! The quaffle is back to the lions, Alex holding the quaffle, speeding up then passing to Johnson, loops…FOUL!!!" Lee Jordan yelled.
When Angelina looped, Mindy grabbed her broom to keep her off balance. Suddenly, Madam Hooch blew her whistle.
"May I remind you that keep to your own brooms! Penalty shot for Gryffindor!" Madam Hooch yelled out. Angelina took the shot and easily put it in.
"And Angelina Johnson makes the penalty! Another 10 points to Gryffindor! Now Ravenclaw in possession, Cho Chang taking the quaffle up-field, passes to Sedowsky, loops, passes to Fishwire, going for the goal…ugh! 10 points to Ravenclaw! Gryffindor back in possession! Kris with the quaffle, loops and swirls past Chang, Chang gaining up speed, Kris ducks and passes to Johnson, Johnson speeding up, defended by Sedowsky, Johnson makes a quick pass to Kris! Go Kris! Kris speeds up, passing Fishwire, shoots, scores! Gryffindor is still in the lead with 30-10!" Lee was cheering.
"Harry!!! Finish the game!" Angelina yelled. Harry immediately responded and began his search for the snitch. As he was searching, he suddenly saw a glint of gold around the chasers. As he was heading there slowly, he noticed that the snitch was cutting the chasers. First the snitch slashed through Angelina's gloves, then gave a bleeding cut on Alex's forehead, and to finish it off, it slashed the bottom of Kris' left cheek. By then, Ravenclaw had scored. Harry knew that he had to catch it fast, but dangerous to get cut. So he took the risk. As he was gaining speed, he was met by Henry Idmere. For some reason, Henry wasn't so eager to get the snitch, just keeping a close eye on Harry. In about a minute, Harry caught the snitch, but he could feel the snitch slashing in his hands. Suddenly he heard the whistle, then he let the snitch fly away.
"Ugghhh…my hand, it's bleeding." Harry was on the ground. Then the whole team flew to Harry, the crowd's cheering was fading as they watched what was going on.
"Harry! What happened?!" Kris asked.
"The snitch, it slashed my hand." He said. Suddenly Dumbledore appeared.
"Are you all hurt?" he asked as he looked at all of them.
"Well at least they are." Said Fred.
"The snitch was also after us, but we saw it coming so we avoided it. But it kind of gave me a scratch on my arm." George said.
"Come on all of you, off to the Hospital Wing." Dumbledore told them as they followed him.
Well how was that? R/R!!!
