Chapter 6

The Big Quidditch Match

Hermione and Fi helped Emily up a tall tower to sit and watch Harry and Ron play. Everyone was there and ready for the first match of the season. Then they heard a voice on a loud speaker, "Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the first Quidditch match of the season. Today's match will be Slytherin vs. Gryiffindor. Here comes Madam Hooch, she's ready to start the game."

After the voice finished Madam Hooch released the bludgers, and followed by them was the golden snitch. Then she threw the quaffle into the air and the game began. Emily saw Harry and she felt like she had butterflies in her stomach. Harry looked into the stands and his eyes met hers, he waved and she waved back. Harry turned his head back and started to look for the snitch. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw Draco hovering next to him.

He had a bandage over his nose and Harry couldn't help but laugh.

"You think it's funny Potter, well you'll get yours and so will your girlfriend!" Draco exclaimed.

Harry was so mad but, he saw the snitch and he was off. Draco was close behind him. Harry was almost in reach of the snitch. Draco grabbed a bludger bat and he hit a bludger and aimed it to hit Harry. When Harry grabbed the snitch the blugder hit him in the head. Harry fell off his broom from 10 ft in the air. Emily stood up and took a flute out of her pocket.

She played four notes. All of a sudden a white horse came flying down from the sky. It reached Emily and she hopped on it. She flew down to Harry and hopped off the horse. With all the strength she had she ran to Harry and fell to the ground. She put his head in her lap and she grabbed his hand to check his pulse. When she took his hand, the golden snitch fell out.

Then she heard, "Harry Potter has caught the snitch, Gryiffindor wins!" She didn't pay attention, he still had a pulse but he was unconscious.

Madam Pomfrey and two other teachers came running on to the field with a stretcher.

They picked Harry up and brought him to the hospital wing. Emily couldn't get up she used all her strength to help Harry. Because she was so weak she blacked out again. When she woke up, she was back in the hospital wing. She turned her head to one side and saw Harry in the bed next to her. She sat up and got a head rush, so she lied back down. She looked back at Harry, he looked so helpless, and she couldn't do anything because she was so helpless.

Meanwhile in the Great Hall Ron, Fi, and Hermione were having dinner.

"I'm going to visit Emily after dinner," Fi told Ron and Hermione.

"That's a good idea, we'll visit Harry as well, I hope he's alright," Hermione said.

So as planned they all headed to the Hospital Wing to visit Harry and Emily. When they got there Emily was reading and they thought Harry was sleeping.

"Hey girlfriend, how are you?" Fi asked as she walked to Emily.

"I'm fine, but Harry's not," she looked at Harry, he still hadn't woken up.

"He's sleeping right," Ron was a little nervous.

"He hasn't woken up since this afternoon," Emily replied.

Emily was really upset, a silent tear rolled down her cheek. Emily got up and sat next to Harry, she held his hand and another tear fell and landed on Harry's scar. All of a sudden Ron, Hermione, and Fi saw Harry start to open his eyes. Emily opened her eyes and to her surprise she was staring into Harry's incredible emerald eyes.

"What happened, did we win? Did I catch the snitch? Emily, why are you crying?" Harry was so confused. Emily hugged Harry and kissed him on the cheek.

"Harry, Draco hit you in the head with a blugder and you did catch the snitch. I was crying because I didn't think you'd ever wake up," Emily explained frantically.

She sat back on her bed and dried her tears.

Harry sat up and looked at Emily, "Emily are you okay, you still look very pale."

Emily stared into Harry's eyes, "I'm okay Harry, I'm still a little weak, but I'm fine."

Harry rubbed his head and felt a big lump, he squinted, and it was still tender and painful.

"Harry you scared us so bad, I thought you were dead," Ron said to break the silence.

Madam Pomfrey walked in and saw Harry sitting up.

"Mr. Potter, how are you feeling, you look well."

"I'm much better thank you," he replied.

"If you're feeling better you may return to your house," Madame Pomfrey explained.

"What about Emily can we take her back, we have her wheelchair," Fi wanted Emily to come back; she missed not having someone to talk to.

"Well, I suppose, but she has to go straight to bed," on that note the nurse left and they helped Emily into her wheelchair.

Fi pushed Emily out of the hospital wing and Harry, Ron, and Hermione followed her.

When they got to the Portrait door Ron said "wisteria blossoms."

The door swung open and they all entered the common room. Fi helped Emily to the couch and she sat down. She was wiped out and she hadn't done anything. Harry sat next her and put his arm around her. Fi was getting tired of Harry being around Emily so much. She understood that they were in love but Em was her best friend.

Hermione went up to bed and Harry helped Emily to her room. Fi decided this was her chance to ask Ron out. Ron was sitting in a chair just staring at the fire. She went and sat in the chair across from Ron.

"Ron, I know we've kind of just met, but I really like you," Fi said and smiled.

Ron blushed, he felt the same way but he didn't know what to say.

So Fi continued, "Ron, will you be my boyfriend?"

Ron was speechless so he just smiled and nodded. Fi went over to Ron and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Then she said goodnight and they both went up to bed.

When Ron got to his room he still had a smile on his face.

"You look happy," Harry said when he saw Ron.

"Fi just asked to be my girlfriend, Harry, I have a girlfriend."

Ron was so happy when he got into bed he couldn't sleep.

"Ron, go to sleep," he heard Seamus say.

So Ron closed hi eyes and went to sleep. Meanwhile in the girl's room Fi was getting ready for bed.

"Emily I did it, I asked Ron to me my boyfriend."

Emily sat up and said, "And what did he say?"

"He said yes, can you believe it, I'm Ron Weasly's girlfriend."

Fi was really excited but she knew Emily was tired so she got into bed and said goodnight and they went to sleep.

It was Saturday morning, Emily woke up and she felt like she had been sleeping for days. She sat up and she was the only person in the girl's dorm. She got out of bed and went down to the common room. She didn't fall over but she was still a little weak. When she got to the common room Fi, Ron, Harry, and Hermione were all there. Emily held onto the staircase but her knees buckled and she fell down the last three steps. Harry shot out of his seat and ran to her.

"Emily, are you okay?" Harry shouted as he ran to her side.

He helped her to her feet and to a chair.

"I'm okay, thanks," she replied, she felt so stupid.

Harry went back to the table and continued to do his homework. He had a potions essay do on Monday and a Transfiguration paper do on Wednesday. When he started to write his essay, he couldn't help but to look at Emily. She was so helpless; he couldn't imagine her being super strong. Then he looked over at Ron, he looked so happy with Fi.

Then he looked over at Hermione, she was all alone reading. He felt kind of bad because she didn't get Ron. He never told Ron this but, Hermione liked him. She told him last year, but she said not to tell Ron. He looked back at Emily and she was sleeping in the chair.

"Emily, maybe you should go back to bed," Fi said and Emily shook herself awake.

"No, I've been sleeping forever, I need to do something," Emily protested.

Fi stood up and went over to Emily, "And what are you going to do, you have no strength, you can't even walk."

Harry stood up and said, "I'll take you outside, if you'd like to go for a walk."

Harry felt that this was his chance to ask Emily out and to make their relationship official.
