Chapter Eight: Gryffindor Vs. Slytherin
Harry went back to the tower after dinner thinking about the ball. Of course Ginny would be going with him. But that wasn't what he was worried about. Elektra. She'd most likely go with Nick. Speak of the devil here came the baby Potter right now.
"Harry!" she yelled. Harry turned around and forced a smile on his face.
"Who is the great Potter taking to the ball?" Elektra asked.
"Why not you pick for me sweet baby sister." Harry suggested. His sister grinned evilly and ran back to the great hall. She got Ginny.
"Lek, what are you doing?" Ginny asked.
"Miss Weasley, meet Mr. Potter. Your date for the ball." Elektra said, pointing to Harry. Ginny grinned and walked around him, as if to see if he was good enough for her.
"Hmm. he is pretty cute, got some muscle on him, good IF I decide to go with you, but there is a tiny problem." Ginny said.
"And what is that?" Harry asked.
"My boyfriend. I don't know if he'll let me go with someone else." Ginny replied.
"Oh, well he says you can go with me." Harry said.
"Good, cause I accept." Ginny said, kissing him.
"That's good. Elektra who are you going with?" Harry said.
"I don't know. Maybe Nick if he asks me." Elektra said. Harry grimaced. He didn't want Elektra to see, but she did.
"Oh Harry he isn't that bad." She exclaimed. (A/N: should nick ask Elektra and if so should she go with him? Tell me.. I love the ideas you guys give me.)
"Well, it's just that it's Matthews. And you're only 11 you shouldn't have a boyfriend." Harry mumbled.
"Who told you we were going out? He is my best friend. Nothing more." Elektra said.
"When you said that before I thought you were just annoyed at me for talking to him and you were blurting things out." She added. A feeling of relief swept through Harry.
"Thank God. Now I'll get to know the kid." Harry sighed. Elektra laughed and hugged her brother. Nick came up at that moment.
"Uh... Elektra? I was uh... wondering if you um... would go to uh... the. the ball with me?" He asked. Elektra did want to go but she still glanced at Harry. He did a slight nod and Elektra smiled.
"I'd love to." She said. Nick smiled and told them he would see them later. Catelyn came out of the hall next, looking bummed.
"What is the matter?" Elektra asked.
"The person I want to go to the ball with doesn't want to go with me." Catelyn said quietly.
"Well uh... we'll find you someone Catey. I promise. Hey you can go with Seamus!" Harry exclaimed. Seamus, who just walked out of the hall, looked up when he heard his name.
"What?" he asked.
"Why not go to the ball with Catey." Ginny said. Seamus looked over at Catelyn, who's dark hair was all around her face. Seamus pondered this idea and walked over to Catelyn. She looked up and saw Seamus on his knee.
"Catelyn Bedford, will you go to the ball with me?" he asked.
"You're just saying that because Harry suggested it and besides I'm 11 you're 15." Catelyn said.
"That's not true. No one really to go with, Lavender has a boyfriend, Parvati will probably go with Dean, but you were 3rd on my list of gals to ask. And I'm 14, I'll be 15 in October." Seamus said. (A/N: I just made all that up.)
"So will you go with me?" he asked. Catelyn thought for a moment and then looked at Seamus.
"Alright. I'll go with you." She said. Seamus smiled.
"Can I escort the young lass to her tower?" he asked, offered an arm out for her to take. Catelyn giggled and accepted the arm. The two walked up to Gryffindor Tower, talking about stuff. (lol.. I could actually see the two of them, maybe if she was a little older I would make them go out. tell me what you think, maybe she really isn't 11. you decide) Sirius walked out of the hall next.
"Harry, the first Quidditch match of the season is in a few weeks isn't it?" he asked. Harry nodded.
"Yep. Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Who will win? That is hard to figure out since I am the best seeker Gryffindor has seen since my father." Harry said.
"Great, don't get cocky kid." Sirius said. Ginny gave a fake shudder.
"I can't believe I have a cocky boyfriend. That is a scary thought." She said. Harry rolled his eyes.
"Oh my God, then that means I have a cocky brother, but I've known that for a long time. 'Dad! I won the Quidditch Cup for Gryffindor 3 times in a row and the House Cup!'" Elektra said, who was still standing there. Harry whacked her across the head.
"Don't hit her!" Ginny exclaimed, pulling Elektra into a hug.
"Well goodnight Potter, Potter, Weasley. Miss Weasley, you have me first thing in the morning. I suggest you get some sleep, it will be a very hard day." Sirius said in a mock voice that sounded something like Snape. Snape, did walk out of the hall at that very moment and said,
"I'm sure it will be Professor Black, a day full of pranks and sneaking out to Hogsmeade with the students." Sirius rolled his eyes.
"I got out of that when I graduated. I only prank with James, Harry, Elektra, Lily, Remus, and Jen when it is summer. I see you haven't changed one bit." He said. "Greasy git." He added under his breath. Snape walked away.
"Guys you really have to go to bed. I'll see you in the morning. Ginny, I was serious." Sirius said.
"I know you are." Ginny said. The three Gryffindors went to their tower to find Catelyn and Seamus still talking. Harry shook his head and turned to the two girls.
"I'll see you in the morning. G'nite, hey Seamus don't stay up to late." Harry said. Seamus laughed. Harry kissed Ginny good night and punched Elektra in the arm playfully. They woke up in the morning to find Seamus on the couch sleeping but not Catelyn.
"She did go to bed. I was writing a letter to Mum and Dad, I saw her." Elektra said. The day flew by and soon it was the first Quidditch match of the season. Harry walked down to breakfast with a parade, honestly, a parade of people behind him. Ginny was on his arm, Elektra and Nick behind them, Seamus and Dean (Catelyn already went to breakfast), Parvati and Lavender, and then Ron and Hermione.
"Well if it isn't Potty and his Weasel, and then there is baby Potty with her boyfriend, then the rest of the fan club, ending with Weasel and the mudblood. Weasel, I hear you're the new keeper. Let my pals score some goals will you. Wait, don't think that will be too hard, since I've never seen you fly." Draco Malfoy said, from the entrance to the dungeons. Harry rolled his eyes, as did the rest of his group. They ate breakfast and Harry and Ron went to the Quidditch pitch.
"I hope Ron does alright." Hermione said, as they walked to the field.
"He will. Harry will probably catch the snitch anyway before they make any goals." Ginny said.
"Nah. Being the cocky kid he is he'll probably get swept up in the moment and let Malfoy catch it." Elektra said.
"Do you have any faith in your brother?" Seamus asked.
"No. Never have never will. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother I just think he is a little over the top with this Quidditch. Like has he really never lost a game?" Elektra said.
"Yea, in second year. Got hit with a bludger and fell off his broom. Lockhart took all his bones out then and he had to spend awhile in the Hospital Wing. He never told you that?" Dean said.
"He probably told my parents, but never told me because he wanted to stay the cocky brother he is. Thanks for the blackmail Dean." The younger of the Gryffindors said.
"They're starting. C'mon, lets get to the good seats." Ginny said, pointing to the stands that the Gryffindors sat in.
"I've never seen a Quidditch game before." Nick said to Catelyn.
"Never?" she asked. Nick shook his head.
"My parents were always busy and we never did anything as a family. My nanny or someone would usually take me somewhere, but my parents were always at the ministry. Sometimes I would go and hang out in the Leaky Cauldron or Diagon Alley." He said.
"What do your parents do at the ministry?" Catelyn asked.
"They're Aurors." Nick said.
"Look here comes my cocky brother." Elektra said. (I don't know what it is with the word 'cocky'. Maybe it will be an inside joke between the Potters. I don't know.) The Gryffindors looked up and sure enough their team came out. Lee Jordan was as always, commentating.
"Here comes the Gryffindor team. Potter, Weasley, Weasley, Weasley, Bell, Spinnet, and the Gryffindor Captain Angelina Johnson!" Cheers erupted from the Gryffindor side of the field.
"And the Slytherin team. Malfoy, yadda yadda yadda." (He said their names I just can't remember them.) Cheers erupted from Slytherin and boos came from Gryffindor. The game began and Ron flew around the goal posts. He let a few points be scored but then,
"KATIE BELL SCORES 10 POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!" Harry knew that was his signal to start looking for the snitch. He saw it, sadly so did Draco.
"You won't get it this time Potter!" Draco yelled. Harry shook his head.
"I've never lost a game before. Today won't be the day." He yelled back. Then he heard it. The voice that gave him confidence, the voice that helped him on his own Quidditch Pitch.
'Harry, don't let your cockiness cloud your mind! If you clear your mind you'll catch it!' the voice said. Harry stopped his broom in mid-air and began to meditate. Elektra knew what he was doing and started laughing.
"What is so funny? He is giving Malfoy a chance at the snitch!" Ginny exclaimed.
"No he won't. If he stayed his cocky self he would but he needed to clear his mind. He is meditating. My father taught him how. That is why Gryffindor never lost a game when my father was here. Harry tries to prove to everyone that he is better. His skills make him egotistical. That is what happened to my father. He'll come around in a few seconds and catch it. It happens on our pitch all the time." Elektra explained. Harry opened his eyes again and saw Malfoy staring at him. He grinned and dove his broom down. Draco followed him and the two 15 teen year olds were neck and neck. Harry leaned a little further on his broom and reached his hand out and....
A/N: HAHAHAHA cliffhanger! I've never done one before so it will probably suck. Anyway review and I'll tell you who catches the snitch.
