Chapter 4: The Quidditch Match
"Scared, Athena?" Achilles asked just before the match in the changing room.
"A little." Athena said, clutching her broom (that she borrow from Mandy) tightly with her sweaty hand.
"It's all right, I just hope that you won't do the same thing I did during my first match." Achilles said kindly.
"What happened?" Athena asked as she tried to wipe her hand dry on her robes.
Achilles suddenly looked very busy with his broom as he examined it for scratches.
"Bro?" Athena asked.
Achilles continued to examine his broom.
"He accidentally sent a Bludger towards the audience and it hit Snape on the face!" James said, grinning.
"I didn't mean to!" Achilles protested, lifting his head from his broom.
"Mean to, didn't mean to, what's the difference?" James asked.
Achilles ignored him. "All right, team, let's move out!"
***
"And they are off!" Gilderoy Lockhart (A sixth year Hufflepuff) yelled into the megaphone as the fifteen brooms (counting Mandy's) flew into the air. "And today the Gryffindor team has a reserved Beater, since the original Beater, Charles Wood, is in the hospital wing. And she is Athena McGonagall, Achilles McGonagall's twin sister! Look at her, she is a beauty! Wonder if she will fell in love with me......"
"Lockhart, the commentary!" Minerva growled.
Athena rolled her eyes when she heard Lockhart's words. "Still as stupid as ever." She mumbled and beat a Bludger towards a Slytherin player who had the Quaffle.
The Bludger hit the player and he dropped the Quaffle. James zoomed straight to the Quaffle and caught it easily.
"Look at how Athena hit the Bludger, she is wonderful!" Lockhart yelled over the Gryffindor's female supporters cheers for James. "Absolutely good at her Bludger work! I hope she stays in the team, she is beautiful, talented....."
"GILDEROY LOCKHART, STOP COMMENTING ABOUT MY DAUGHTER AND GET BACK TO THE COMMENTARY!!!" Minerva screeched in fury.
Even from the sky, Achilles could hear his mother screaming. He saw a Bludger flying towards Athena from behind and he flew straight to her. He whacked the Bludger away from his sister just before the Bludger could hit her head.
"Watch yourself, Athena!" He shouted and flew off immediately to hit another Bludger.
Athena ignored the situation around her and concentrated on looking for a Bludger to hit. She noticed a Bludger flying straight towards James and Achilles was too far away to get to it. She zoomed towards it, yelled at James to get out of the way and hit the Bludger towards a Slytherin player.
"James, Kenneth! Do the C game!" Achilles yelled furiously as he chased a Bludger.
C game? Athena thought in confusion. This must be one of the new moves that Achilles had mentioned. Seeing the puzzled looks on the Slytherins' faces, Athena assumed that they had no idea what the hell Achilles was talking about either.
James and Kenneth Bell, however, seemed to understand Achilles. James, who had the Quaffle, flew straight towards the Gryffindor goalposts. Kenneth flew to the Slytherin goalposts and then struck out his tongue at a Slytherin Chaser, Scott Flint.
Scott scowled at Kenneth while he said: "Nah nah, you cannot catch me!"
James flew to a stop near the Gryffindor goalposts, turned his head and grinned at Kenneth, who was now flying towards him with an angry Scott Flint on his tail. James clutched the Quaffle tighter as if it was a chest full of Galleons with one arm and made a rude gesture at another Slytherin Chaser.
"Catch me if you can!" James yelled and flew towards the Slytherin goalposts.
"Ooh, James Potter and Kenneth Bell are going to collide if they don't change directions!" Lockhart yelled into the megaphone.
"Not yet, not yet...." James muttered as he flew straight towards Kenneth.
Kenneth swallowed as he flew to James. What if the plan didn't work?
"GO LEFT, NOW!" James roared and Kenneth flew sharply to the left while James flew to the right.
The two Slytherin Chasers had no idea that they would do that stunt, in the end they collided with each other. "OW!"
"Ooh! Looks like the two Slytherin Chasers have bloody noses now!" Lockhart laughed.
James grinned when he turned his head to see Scott Flint's nose bleeding and zoomed to the Slytherin goalposts.
"AND JAMES POTTER SCORES! TEN POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!" Lockhart shouted as the Gryffindor roared in happiness.
Minerva clapped furiously and cheered as she watched James giving a high- five to Kenneth.
****
"LOOKS LIKE LONGBOTTOM HAVE SEEN THE GOLDEN SNITCH!" Lockhart yelled ½ hour later as Frank Longbottom zoomed towards the Ravenclaw stands.
The Slytherin Seeker, Andrew Pucey, flew straight next to Frank and he scowled at Frank. "Out of my way, Longbottom! That's my Golden Snitch!"
"No way!" Frank yelled and started to reach out for the Golden Snitch.
"Way!" Andrew snapped and he elbowed Frank in the ribs, hard.
"OW!" Frank cried and Mandy blew her whistle. "NO COBBING! PENALTY TO GRYFFINDOR!" She screeched.
As she did, the Golden Snitch flew out of sight.
The Slytherins booed and hissed at Mandy's judgment.
"Kenneth Bell flies forward to take the penalty, and...HE SCORES! ANOTHER GOAL FOR GRYFFINDOR! THEY LEAD BY 60 TO 30! BETTER BUCK UP, SLYTHERIN!"
The Slytherins continued to hiss as the Gryffindors applauded loudly.
As Achilles was near the Slytherin stands, he could hear them saying to each other: "Hooch is a bias bitch, her godson is the Gryffindor captain and Beater, and McGonagall is her best friend, that's why she is letting the Gryffindors to have their way. I bet that the Gryffindor team will be useless if there is a change of referee...."
Achilles scowled darkly. How dare the Slytherins talked about his godmother and his team this way! He kept his eyes out for Bludgers and once he saw one, he zoomed towards it before Athena did and beat it furiously towards the Slytherin players. He would pay them back for that!
"Oh Merlin, looks like something in Achilles McGonagall has gone snapped!" Lockhart reported.
Minerva looked up and exchanged glances with Dumbledore, who was sitting a few rows above her. What's wrong with their son?
Athena almost let go of her bat in shock as she watched her brother flying around the pitch like a human Bludger, what had gotten into him?
As if Achilles had heard Athena's thoughts, he flew and stopped beside her and said: "Some goddamn Slytherins insulted Mandy! They called her a bias bitch! I will show them, Mandy is not bias and we Gryffindors can win with our talent...."
When he said that, Lockhart yelled: "Gryffindor scores again! 70 to 30! That is a good shoot, Potter!"
"Go, James!" Achilles called and said to Athena. "Sis, do you know the Dopplebeater Defence?"
Athena nodded and as she did, a Bludger flew towards them and Achilles simply beat it away.
"Let's use it." Achilles said. "We will show the goddamn Slytherins..."
Athena, who was angered by the Slytherins' comment, nodded immediately. Both of them flew around together and once they saw a Bludger flying towards a Gryffindor Chaser, they zoomed to it, raised their bats and....
WHACK
....hit it at the same time. The Bludger flew faster than usual and hit Andrew's arm, hard.
"Ooooo, now that is going to be hurt!" Lockhart reported. "Great but dangerous pair work by the McGonagall twins! I think I better think twice before provoking them....."
"Lockhart, the commentary!" Minerva yelled.
"Right, right....."
***
A few minutes later, Frank searched around again for the Snitch after Achilles and Athena flew past him like a pair of jet planes. "Come on, come on, where is the Snitch..." He mumbled when he heard Lockhart reporting: "Looks like the McGonagall twins are going to kill every Slytherins player with their Bludger work! There goes another one with his leg broken!"
Frank shuddered at Achilles and Athena's actions and concentrated on looking for the Snitch, If he couldn't find it soon, Achilles would probably kill him with his bat.
And he found it, flying near the Hufflepuff stands.
"YES!" He cheered and dashed towards the stands.
"Looks like Longbottom have seen the Snitch, again!" Lockhart yelled.
Andrew ignored his broke arm for a moment and chased after Frank with one arm around his broom. He flew beside Frank, yelling: "Anxious to catch the Snitch, Longbottom? Is McGonagall going to strangle you if you don't get it?"
Frank ignored him as they flew together to chase the Snitch. Achilles and Athena, who had just succeeded for breaking a Slytherin player's jaw with their Bludger work, noticed Andrew and they shared the same thought: "We are going to chase Andrew away from the Snitch."
They closed the gap between them and flew towards Andrew, with their bats raised. Andrew, who sensed danger, looked up and saw Achilles and Athena flying towards him a pair of angry eagles.
"AAAAHHHHHH!!!" Andrew yelled, fearing that Achilles and Athena would broke another part of his body by beating another Bludger at him, and flew off.
Achilles and Athena looked at each other and flew away from Frank and Andrew, looking for another Bludger to hit.
As they did, Frank stretched his arm as long as possible and.....
"LONGBOTTOM HAS FINALLY CAUGHT THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS!!!" Lockhart announced and the stadium exploded into cheers.
Achilles and Athena stopped flying and they landed. Once they did, they hug each other as tight as they could. "We won! We won! We show the Slytherins!" They sang together.
Mandy landed beside them and asked: "What has gotten into you two? You nearly beat up every Slytherin players with the Bludger!"
"You don't want to know." Both of them said in unison.
"Come on, Sis, let's congratulate Frank!" Achilles said and both of them started to run when.....
"Achilles, Athena! I need a word with you two." Minerva ordered and both of them stopped in their tracks.
***
Charles Wood, a 6th year Gryffindor, finally had the bluish substance removed by Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing. When he tried to remove the remains around his eyes, he heard Poppy shrieking: "WHO THE HELL HAS DONE THIS TO ALL OF YOU?!"
"THE MCGONAGALL TWINS!" A group of people cried back.
"The McGonagall twins?" Wood echoed in bewilderment as he tried to unglue a small amount of the substance from his eyelid.
"Well, you shouldn't provoke those two in the first place...." He heard Poppy saying.
"WE DIDN'T!" The group shouted.
"Poppy, just bring them in." He heard Mandy saying.
"All right, come in and lie down." Poppy ordered and Wood turned his head to see four or five Slytherin players came in with at least a part of their bodies injured.
"What happen, Mandy?" Poppy demanded.
"I don't know. Ask Achilles and Athena." Mandy said, shrugging her shoulders.
Athena? Who was Athena?
Then Achilles came into the hospital wing with his Gryffindor team to visit Wood. He grinned at Wood and said: "We won, Charles! We won!"
Before Wood could respond, Poppy came over and said: "What did you and your sister do, Achilles?"
"They deserved it." Achilles said coolly, giving a glance at the injured Slytherin players.
"I am surprised that your mother didn't say anything." Poppy said.
"She did, she scream at us and Dad convinced her to let us off...." Athena started.
".....Just this once. We promise that we won't do anything like that again." Achilles quickly added when he saw a disapproving look on Poppy's face.
"I hope not." Poppy said and walked off, mumbling: "What a dangerous sport, don't know what the hell is so attractive about Quidditch...."
"Achilles, who is she?" Wood asked, pointing at Athena.
"She is my sister."
"Sister?"
"Twin sister."
"I didn't know you have a sister."
"She has just transferred from another school." Achilles lied.
"And guess what, she is your substitute for the match just now!" James whistled. "She is great!"
"Oh. So what is it with the Slytherins being beat up?" Wood asked, looking himself in a handheld mirror.
"You don't want to know." Achilles and Athena said.
***
The Gryffindor team (plus Wood, since he was okay now) was almost back to their common room when Athena remembered that Achilles wanted to know why didn't he play Quidditch in front of her in the future. How was she going to tell her brother that he moved out a year later and didn't come back since? She was thinking hard when the team stopped in front of the Fat Lady.
"Password?"
"Jean Brodie." Achilles said and the Fat Lady swung aside when James said: "I am still wondering why we have to use a name as a password....."
Once the team was inside, Sirius led the Gryffindors yelling: "Good job, Gryffindor team!"
Sirius shook a Butterbeer bottle and opened it. "Let's party!!!" He called and the Gryffindors cheered.
***
"I'm glad that you are here, Athena, you are just in time for next week." Achilles said, taking a sip from his Butterbeer.
"What's going on next week?" Athena asked.
"It's the month of May next week." Achilles said. "Hogwarts Sisters' rule no.5, the first Sunday of May is a "do-everything-you-want" day. You can do anything you want as long as you don't break the law. On that day, Mom, Dad and the Hogwarts Sisters will leave their work no matter how much there is, then we will go somewhere and have fun!"
"Anything?" Athena asked.
Achilles nodded. "Anything."
"Really anything?"
Achilles raised one of his eyebrows. "Do you know when is my birthday?"
Athena shook her head.
"Don't I celebrate it in the future? Oh well, anyway, it's March 17."
"So?"
Achilles looked around to see if anyone was hearing. He leaned forward and whispered in Athena's ear. "I was conceived in May, all right?"
Athena took a sharp breath and she blushed furiously.
