Chapter 3- A Beater
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred and George were sitting in the back yard of the Burrow, very relaxed, and very bored. They had been doing nothing for almost an hour, until Ginny thought up an idea.
"Hey, how about a game of quidditch?" she said.
"Great idea Ginny!" Harry said. "Who's in?"
"I'm in!" Ron said.
"Me too!" Mec said.
"Us too!" Fred and George said together.
"Me of course, it was my idea after all." Ginny said.
Harry looked at Hermione. "How about you, Hermione?"
"Please Harry, you know I hate flying." She said as if it were something obvious.
"Ok, you can be the referee, and stay down here."
Everyone got their brooms, Harry and Mec their Firebolts, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny got their Nimbus 2000's. Fred and George had bought them each a new broom with the money Harry had given them. Once everyone was back, Hermione picked the teams. She picked one team as, Ron, Ginny, and George. The other team was Harry, Mec, and Fred. But there was still something that delayed the game.
"Fred, please! Can I be the beater?" Mec begged.
"Why!"
"That's all I'm good at! Pretty please?"
"Oh! Alright!" Fred said defeated. And he received a kiss on the cheek for his answer.
"Thanks!"
The game got on its way, Fred and Ginny were the Keepers, Ron and Harry were the Chasers, and Mec and George were the Beaters. The game had been going on for half an hour, and the score was one to one. A bludger was heading toward Mec and she hit it at full force towards Ron, but George got in the way. The bludger almost knocked him off his broom. Mec rushed over to him and apologized to him.
"Hey! Sorry George!" she said, then turned her attention towards everyone else. "Hey guys! I think we should head down! George looks a little lost!" She turned her attention back to George. She brought him back down to Hermione who had seen everything.
"Hey, is he alright?" Hermione asked.
George looked at Mec and said, "Bloody hell! You can hit!"
Everyone rode back down and helped carry George back inside the house. The laid him down on the couch in the living room and Mrs. Weasley came in.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Well we were playing quidditch and . . . " Ron said.
"Fred! How many times do I have to tell you not to play so hard?" She said with worry in her voice.
"Mum! I didn't...."
"Mrs. Weasley, Fred didn't knock him out, I did." Mec said.
"Oh, dear, how did it happen?"
"Well, the bludger was intended for Ron, that's why I hit it a little harder than usual, but George got in the way, so..."
"Don't worry dear," Mrs. Weasley said and ushered everyone into the next room.
Everyone was talking about what had happened when Ron asked Mec a question.
"Why did you say that you hit a little harder because it was intended for me?"
"Well, I knew you could take it."
"Yeah, thanks." He said sarcastically.
About half an hour later, George woke up. He got pretty laughed at a lot. After all, a girl did knock him out. And now, Mec considered about joining the house quidditch team.
