Chapter Sixty-nine

From: ~*~rIsTi~*~()

! i just had a kewl idea they should make a movie of your fic and sarah michelle geller(the grl from buffy) can play sarah michelle and... lizzy mcguire can play araminta! that would work cuz she can sing like araminta. keep the rest of the cast the same though only make sure tom does his hair the way he's going to do it in the next movie cuz he's way hotter that way. im sure one day someone will make a movie of this cuz its so good even better then jkr are u going to rit novels? im sure an editor would luv to print them and i know id be the 1st one to buy 1

Oh! I saw a place that was buying scripts. Maybe I should submit it? I don't know. I was thinking I would try to go on FictionAlley next. I think this would make a good fic for Schnoogle. I've been published before, but not for my fanfiction--for my original writing! :D

~*~rIsTi~*~ ps im starting to rit a storey that im sure wont be as good as yours but could u r&r it when it comes out its going to be r/oc(me!) and h/g

I can put it on my favorites list! I don't know if I really like Harry/Ginny because it is too sappy and doesn't have any adventure. Besides, I think he still likes Cho, and maybe they're gonna get married? Of course, that means I don't like Cho. Hee hee. But I'd like to read about you and Ron! (At least, as long as it isn't too detailed--TMI!) Maybe you can play Sarah Michelle in the movie version of this? I'm going to call my friend in Hollywood tomorrow and see if maybe her dad can be the producer.

Araminta watched the Snitch flutter by, then swooped out of the way of the Bludgers, but she couldn't touch anything until the Quaffle was in the air. There was a terrible crashing sound as everybody dove for the ball and rammed into one another.

Once that was sorted out, Araminta tried to divide her time as best she could between Gryffindor and Slytherin. It was really hard to do since the Bludgers wouldn't seem to leave her along. Every time she turned around they were flying right at her nose and she had to knock them away with her bat. Colin and Dennis tried their best to hit them at the Slytherins, but their aim just wasn't as good as Araminta's.

After about ten minutes the Bludgers got bored with following Araminta around like annoying little brothers and started bothering Araminta's Slytherin teammates, Risti and Teh. They hit the Bludgers back and forth with Colin and Dennis Creevey in what resembled a demented game of badminton without a net.

Luckily, this left Araminta free to pay better attention to the game.

"That's Cloie Laine scoring ten points for Slytherin, and if she wasn't so slippery, I'd have caught her in a broom closet by now--"

Professor McGonagall backhanded Dean gently. "No extra commentary, Mister Thomas. Your job is to call the plays and keep score!"

"Yes, ma'am," Dean replied with a disgruntled sigh. Cloie Laine made a dirty hand sign to show that she wasn't very interested in poor Dean Thomas. "Oh, oh, oh yeeeeessss!"

Dean jumped out of his seat. "Gryffindor Chaser Orlanda Bloom puts one right past Keeper David Flint! Ten points to Gryffindor!"

Araminta let out a happy shriek and twirled her bat in the air. She knocked a passing Bludger right out of the stadium. Everyone was winning tonight.

"Here!" Natalie McDonald passed Araminta the Quaffle, and she tucked it under her arm and zipped past rows and rows of cheering spectators. She almost ran into Madam Hooch, who was the umpire for this game, but she swerved at the very last second.

Araminta faked left, then faked right, and then she heaved the Quaffle past Slytherin Keeper David Flint's groping fingers and into the hoop, earning ten points for her Gryffindors.

Dean Thomas shouted in glee, and Araminta saw the scoreboard change.

Oh no, she thought. Now Gryffindor is ahead. We can't have that!

Araminta intercepted Flint's pass to Bella Black and headed toward the other end of the pitch.

Ron Weasley was waiting for her, his freckled cheeks flushed and his ears pink with anger. "What do you think you're doing?"

"I'm trying to be fair!" Araminta threw the Quaffle past Ron, earning ten points for Slytherin.

Now Gryffindor and Slytherin were tied, but neither team looked very happy with her. Araminta needed a plan.
