Chapter 27 - November 4th
"Black, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kill your cousin!" Raven said, storming into the common room and sitting next to Sirius in a huff.
"Bellatrix? That's fine with me," Sirius teased. "Wha'd she do?
"She frickin tripped me!"
"She tripped you? That's it? Consider yourself lucky!"
"Oh, thank you." Raven rolled her eyes. "She jinxed the carpet so it rose up when I stepped on it and I almost broke my ankle!"
"You fall on your ass?"
Raven laughed. "No, some guy from Hufflepuff caught me in time. Remind me of what I ever did to her."
"Ah, she's just jealous of you."
"Jealous?" asked Raven. "Of what?"
"Of everything you have above her."
"Such as? I have you guys, that's it."
"That's one thing. And you're better at Quiddich; you can sing, I swear, she can't sing a note!; you're beautiful; you outwit her everytime she tries to insult you."
"Well, that's bullshit! I've haven't played against her in Quiddich yet, so I don't know if she's better than me, and she's prettier than I am!"
"She is not!" protested Sirius.
"I think she is. Her hair's longer, and--"
"Ratty! And her eyes are so mean, and her face is always all scrunched up like she just smelled dog shit, ya know?" Sirius scrunched up his face, imitating his cousin.
Raven snorted. "At least her parents aren't dead...are they?"
"No," answered Sirius, "but I can't say I'd miss them."
Raven whacked Sirius lightly across the chest. "Sirius, don't be an ass."
"Raven, they're the assholes! My entire family! I'm praying to God you never have to meet my mother. Andromeda's the only nice one. She's Bella's oldest sister.
"Your mum wouldn't like me, eh?"
"Oh, she'd like you just fine at first; you're a pure blood. But when she finds out you're friends with a 'mudblood' like Lily, she'll look past your bloodline. Funny how they can look past a pure blood who happens to think muggle borns are the same as everyone else, and then they can't look past a muggle born with more talent than a pure blood. Thank God my mum doesn't know Moony's a werewolf." Sirius waved his hand in the air. "Anyways, I don't live there anymore, so I don't care," he said, unconvincingly.
"Yes, you do," Raven said, meeting eyes with him.
Sirius looked back into Raven's eyes, but didn't disagree with her. "So you want me to beat her up?"
Raven rose her eyebrows. "Your mum?"
"No! Bellatrix!"
"Oh! Nah, I just thought you'd get a kick out of me almost falling on my ass."
"Right you are!" he said, leaning to give her a quick peck on the lips.
"Where in the bloody hell are they?" yelled James, bursting into the tower and searching the common room. He spotted Raven and Sirius on the couch by the fireplace.
"Potter!" called Sirius. "Whatcha got your panties in a twist for?"
"Guys! The game!" James rose his hands in the air and waved them around.
"Oh shit!" said Raven and Sirius in unison as they got up off the couch in a split-second and trampled James through the portrait hole.
"Has Wood soiled himself yet?" asked Raven as she panted down the stairs, James and Sirius on her heels.
"I sincerely hope not; he's already in uniform," James answered.
When they entered the Gryffindor locker room, a very deranged Quiddich captain rounded on them. "Where the hell have you two been? Did you forget we have a game today?"
"Er...yes," answered Sirius. He pushed Raven forward, knowing she could sweet talk him.
"We're really sorry, Justin, it's just that...well, I wanted to go over that Wronski Feint thing one more time with Sirius, ya know, so I could surprise you. I'm sorry we were late; I promise it won't happen again," she batted her eyelashes at him.
Justin smiled at her. "You're forgiven. But I promised Madam Hooch I'd never let you even attempt that Wronski Feint again."
"Well, I got it down now. You want me to unlearn it?"
Justin smiled again and touched his finger to her chin. "That's my girl."
Sirius rolled his eyes as he threw his shirt at Justin and pulled on his Quiddich robes.
"Well, get dressed," Justin said to Raven and James. They were all dressed in time to hear Justin's battle speech. "Alright, Gryffindors, this is our second match against Slytherin. We beat them last time, but that doesn't mean we will this time without a good fight. Raven, don't use the Wronski Feint unless you have to. Save that for Bellatrix when we play Slytherin in the final showdown."
Raven nodded. "That is, if we beat Ravenclaw today and Slytherin beats Hufflepuff next Saturday."
"They will, and we'd better. Black, block for Raven. Fletcher, block for the chasers. Got it?"
Sirius and Mundungus nodded.
"But who's gonna block for you, Woody?" asked James, hiding his laugh.
"I'll be fine. Potter, Laurel, Jess, remember those plays we went over, and don't break formation for anything!" James, Laurel, and Jessica nodded.
"And you'll do your best too, right Justin?" asked Sirius.
Justin winked. "Raven, the song."
Raven rolled her eyes as she hit play on her CD player. The seven Gryffindor players closed their eyes and listened to the song before they rode onto the field, as was their ritual.
"This bloody road remains a mystery. This sudden darkness fills the air. What are we waitin for? Won't anybody help us? What are we waitin for? We can't afford to be innocent. Stand up and face the enemy. It's a do or die situation. We will be invincible! This shattered dream you cannot justify. We're gonna scream until we're satisfied. What are we runnin for? We've got the right to be angry. What are we runnin for? When there's nowhere we can run to anymore. We can't afford to be innocent. Stand up and face the enemy. It's a do or die situation. We will be invincible! And with the power of conviction there is no sacrifice. It's a do or die situation. We will be invincible!"
Listening, Justin stood in the middle of the group with his eyes closed. When the song was over, he raisied his hands in the air, pointing his fingers and shaking them. "Okay, let's ride!" The seven of them got onto their brooms and rose out into the stadium.
