James walked briskly through the hallways, down to the quidditch pitch.
Gabrielle peered out of an opening in the bag. She saw students walking by,
talking excitedly about the game. Soon James was walking up the many
stairs to get up to the stands. The fabric covering the beams of wood
holding the stands and stairs up were gold and scarlet, the Gryffindor
house colors. When he walked up the stairs she heard Sirius's voice,
Peter's voice, and Remeus's voice all calling him over to their seats. When
he reached them they all started talking James's friends were informed that
Gabrielle was in the bag, so she wasn't paying much attention. She knew
they wouldn't say anything good while they knew she was in the bag. She
heard more people pile into the stands, more chattering, and then she heard
cheers from everyone but the Slitherins, who were booing. She knew that was
when the Ravenclaw players came onto the field. Then she heard booing from
everyone but the slitherins because their team had come onto he field. A
whistle sound and Malcolm, her Gryffindor friend with the long blonde hair,
commentating the game. She saw everything in the middle of the field with
the opening. She saw the players go up into the air. She also saw Morgain
scanning the stands; she saw James, Sirius, Peter and Remeus. Then she saw
Morgain roll her eyes and start paying attention to the game. Gabrielle was
afraid Morgain would see her because she had good eyesight and could
probably figure out that Gabrielle was there. She didn't want Morgian to
worry either, not while she had to play.
During the begging of the game, she only saw players swoop by her line of
vision, but she heard Malcolm cementation clearly. Slitherin was beating
Ravenclaw by 10 so far, and was slowly gaining points. The Ravenclaw team
wasn't as good as Slitherin, but she heard that Morgain was looking for the
snitch, and when the Slitherins had gained 30 points and Malcolm announced
that Morgian was speeding towards the snitch James moved his hand over the
bag Gabrielle was sitting in out of excitement. She had a little opening,
which she looked through, but James just moved the bag, and the opening she
used was closed. She desperately tried to create the opening again without
being seen, it didn't really work, and she wasn't very used to paws. She
desperately wanted to see what was happening, and she didn't catch the last
few words that Malcolm said because she was busy playing with the flaps,
trying to get a way to have a peephole again. Some one bumped into the bag,
and Gabrielle and the bag were pushed over. She fell onto the floor in
front of the seat that she had been sitting on. She tried to hold on to the
long wooden plank, but it was very hard when you're in a sack, and she fell
down through the bottom of the stands were everyone was sitting on. She was
lucky that James and his friends decided to sit on the far end of the
stands, so she could avoid being slammed into the stairs leading up to the
stands. Her only fear now was falling onto a beam. She didn't know what to
do, she was falling quickly and she couldn't think of any animal to turn
into fast enough, so she turned into her old self. Her long legs were
stuck in the bag, but the upper part of her body was free to move around.
She absentmindedly grabbed a beam she had came across when falling. Right
about now, everyone had noticed, mainly because James had screamed
"Gabrielle" when he noticed she had fallen. Her success from not hitting
the first two beams was because everyone was watching her, and James, and
Sirius took out their wands to help her. The students on those stands had
run down the stairs to where she was.
She pulled herself up and sat on the beam, regretting wearing the school
uniform because it included wearing a plaid skirt, and then she took the
bag off of her legs. She did get it of with some trouble, and stood up
and spread her arms out, ready to walk the beam over to the students. Some
had found their way to the bottom of the stands, and were watching from the
ground. Gabrielle ignored the yells from below about her skirt. She held
her arms out like a trapeze artist walking the tightrope, with her bag in
one of her hands and her big, High-heeled, clunky black shoes on her feet.
She walked a few steps, but the big clunky shoes were not good on the beam
and she practically flew off of the beam, because she tripped over herself.
She grabbed a hold of the beam, and when her arms were holding on she
thought "Not a good time to be clumsy!" She really, really regretted her
attire for the game today. She pulled herself up again, but this tome took
off her shoes and held them in one hand, and the bag in the other. Once
she reached the end James Practically picked her up off of the beam and
placed her on the stairs and hugged her tightly. Her ears went red, and she
covered them with her hair. Sirius came up to her and mumbled something,
but she didn't hear it because Jamie and Shannon ran through the crowd and
hugged her. While telling her how mortified they were to see her in such
danger. She put her shoes back on as soon as she could and after she did
Madame Pomfrey, Professor McGonagall, Professor Gurrow, and Professor
Dumbledore came. When seeing the teachers, she got the biggest knot in
her stomach. If Dumbledore was there, she knew she had done something
horrible. She bent her head down, but quickly took a deep breath and looked
up. Madame Pomfrey walked up to her with a angry look and screeched.
"I told you. I told you Gabrielle Orwood!" Gabrielle jolted her head back
from the impact of her words. "Have you ever heard the saying curiosity
killed the cat?"
"How ironic," Professor Dumbledore said, for she had in fact been a cat
while falling.
"So maybe I should turn into something else next time?" she said hopefully.
Professor Dumbledore smiled, but the other teachers grew even angrier. She
felt like cowering back but didn't, she would take the pressure. She was,
in fact, curious why Dumbledore was smiling. She did fail to obey the rules
didn't she? Maybe he knew something she didn't. Her actions could be said
to be noble, in an odd way. She did come because she had a weird feeling
about this game.
"I am sorry I have to do this." Professor McGonagall said. Ad a good
student like you too" she added, shaking her head.
"Girls should do what they are told!" Professor added. "You could have died
form you little mishap-
"Thank you Professor Gurrow, I believe she is aware of her mistakes and is
ready to take her punishment," Dumbledore said, looking at Professor
McGonagall, reminding her to give Gabrielle her Punishment.
"I will have to take 100 points from Gryffindor, and 50 to James and
Serious for saving her, and all three of you will have detention this
evening with me." McGonagall said.
"All three of us?" Gabrielle said, confused.
"Yes all three: you, Potter, and Black."
"But. But Black had nothing to do with this!" She said. McGonagall eyed her
suspiciously.
" Forget him! I want to see punishment!" Professor Gurrow chimed in. "Why
not detention on the Halloween dance?"
"Thank you Professor, "but that is for Professor McGonagall to decide." He
added.
"You will all come to my office tonight at eight." She said and the
teachers walked down the stairs talking how they wanted to know he outcome
of the game. Odd as it was, all this did happen at the highlight of the
game, and Gabrielle could hear the rest of the school in the quidditch
pitch, she hoped that Ravenclaw won. James, Sirius, Remeus, Jamie, Shannon
and Gabrielle walked down the stairs in a big group, Gabrielle in the front
with James and Sirius and Peter following behind the group. James watched
Gabrielle nervously. She was hoping the detention wouldn't be that bad,
because this was her first detention ever. She was surprisingly calm about
it, for no apparent reason. Her clunky boots struck again! She was hurled
down the last the steps into he grass. Everyone behind her laughed,
including Gabrielle herself.
She tripped on her shoes again, but this time she wouldn't be in for as bad a fall as last time, which was about 8 flights of stairs, they were all near the bottom. Her eyes had gotten huge, and she swung forward, her blonde hair went into her face and she grabbed her wand, but James he seeker boy grabbed her before she fell. He had grabbed her by the waist and had pulled her towards him, but everyone behind them had fallen on top and they became a big dog pile at the bottom of the stairs, and James ended up being right on top of her. She pulled away instantly, another one of her desperate attempts to get away. They all laughed and Gabrielle shouted, "This is the last time I'm wearing these shoes!" James rejected the statement "No! I like these shoes!" he said, with his charming smile. Gabrielle squirmed uncomfortably, like she always did, when she saw that smile. They made it to the field, everyone was cheering on Ravenclaw's victory, but there was no sign of Morgain any ware. Gabrielle heard someone calling her name form the crowd. "Gabby!" she saw Laura run up to her, clearly out of breath form running. "Yes? What is it?" Gabrielle said. "Its Morgain, she just ran away after the team put her on their shoulders." "Really? That doesn't sound like her" Gabrielle knew Morgain would be thrilled that her team was proud of her, but she figured it was something to do with her opponent. She ran inside randomly, leaving her other friends behind her and Laura yelled after her. "And that Slytherin seeker ran after her!" Gabrielle skidded when she heard that, she turned around and looked to see if Laura was really telling the truth and went on into the school. She took out her wand and whispered a spell, and placed the wand on the palm of her hands and it spun around in circles and stopped in one direction. She ran in that direction. The spell she used was directing her to Morgian. She ran in circles, and had to stop after getting dizzy. She put her hands on her thighs, and breathed deeply, but then heard shouting not far away. She followed the voice and turned up in a hallway with paintings of fruits. She walked to a painting with a bowl of fruits and a huge pair that stood out to her, and she could have sworn that she heard something behind it. She took out her wand saying "tell me you secret" and suddenly She had a vision of Stephan tickling the pear on one of the paintings with Morgian on his side; as soon as she got out of the trance she shook her head. It made her even dizzier than she was before. Then she looked for the painting, but stopped and thought for a second. If that vision was from today it meant that Stephan wasn't mad at her as she thought he would be, she started to doubt that she would help Morgain from looking for her and stood their. Then she heard Stephan's yelling again and she went back to searching for the painting, she found it and stopped at it. She reached out and tickled the pair and the door opened to reveal the kitchens of the school, and in it she saw a long wooden table with elves all around it. On the walls hung pots and pans and cooking utensils and on the far side she saw a big fireplace. She saw Morgian sitting along the table with tears in her eyes and hot chocolate, with cookie on the table beside her and Stephan yelling "Damn you Lestrage!" and there sat Morgian, puffy eyed, looking terribly helpless.
