Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I only own the torment, and cruelty
inflicted upon him in my story and my twisted imagination, which shatter
his ego and make him fall into depression. I quite enjoy it.
"Does every one know what today is?" Asked professor Lunaty. The class fell silent.
"Don't tell me you all forgot?" She continued putting her hands on her hips and pouting at them. "Someone has to know"
"It's the 9th day of December" Kiara said from the desk shared with Andreus.
"Correct" Lunaty said. A little disappointed that nobody else knew. "And you all know what that means. /tomorrow is the second Friday of the month and like the last two months we are going to do something fun."
The class burst into cheers knowing that the Prof. Knew what the word fun actually meant. For the past two months they played poker, watched a performance given by a few professional dancers and held pretend Dragonian court.
Lunaty quieted the students and told them what to bring for tomorrows class. "Now what you will do tomorrow is meet me in the Quiditch pitch. You're all going to see Dragons play Quiditch." The class started to cheer again.
Harry shot his hand up. "Prof. Who's going to play who in this game? Gryffindor and Slytherin?" he looked at Malfoy then and smirked. Harry loved beating him.
"No Mr. Potter. Your house team isn't worthy of the privilege." The Prof. Said in a bored tone. She hated when some one insulted another by being a hypocrite. The class laughed at her remark.
"Oh" He said as a way from recovering from the comment. "Then who are the teams?"
The Prof. gave a wicked smile. "Two of the best teams in the Dragon academy. The wolf pack teams." Nicholas and Kiara looked startled at the news.
"I don't remember being asked to play a game on short notice. We haven't even picked a the Captain for the unified team." Nicholas said.
"Exactly" Now everyone was confused. "As I remember the Wolf pack season begins after the traditional girls vs. guys game held every year to pick either the girls Captain or the boys Captain to lead the unified team, correct?" Nicholas nodded in agreement.
"And since that game hasn't been given yet, why not do it tomorrow? Since both teams are already in Hogwarts at the moment."
Nicholas looked at the players on both teams that were in the classroom. "What do you guys think?"
They all looked at each other and agreed.
"On one condition." Blitz said. "The whole class can miss all of their classes that start before lunch so we can have a good game and not a rushed one."
"That seems reasonable, alright tomorrow you will all go to the Quiditch pitch at the time of your first class and can leave after lunch if you wish. But first I have to teach you all the rules to the game."
"But Prof. we already know how the game works." Ron said with a chuckle.
"No, you all know how wizard Quiditch works not how Dragon Quiditch does. For instance the game doesn't finish after someone catches the snitch it finishes after the last round. We determine the winner's team by how many times they catch the snitch in each round and by adding up the points they scored.
"There are four positions. There's chaser, beater and seeker, like in wizard Quiditch but there is also the position of keeper who's job is to attack the other teams seeker and protect his team's seeker.
"There are no solid positions and there can be any amount of players. Every player gets to be seeker once. The Rules may be a little more complicated but the game is way more entertaining to watch." She finished her class with the basic information and saw the anticipation in her student's eyes as they all left hoping that Friday would get here faster.
Especially the ones playing.
"Can't believe she's doing this now. What's she thinking?" Blin asked in the Heads common room that was shared with the Dragon's in the school. She plopped into a chair next to Hermoine.
"I thought she would know better than doing something like that at the last minute. Our team hasn't practiced in months and we don't even know who the knew captain on the girls team is." Rex said.
"Does it matter, the boy's team doesn't have a chance at winning against the girls." All the boys turned to look at Kiara as if she went mad. "What? It's true. The boy's team hasn't one that game in over 20 years."
"Yeah, well that was before Nicholas was made Captain. So the girls team doesn't stand a chance." Rex fired back.
"If you're so confident lets make a wager. If the boys win the girls will do anything they want and if the girls win your team has to do the same. Deal?"
Everyone fell silent. They didn't expect this but no one was complaining either. Rex thought about the wager and answered on behalf of his team. "Deal"
They shook hands. The boys left first talking about strategies while the girls lingered in the common room.
"You sly fox you" Blin said to Kiara elbowing her. "You know they don't know you're the Captain and that we've been practicing all this time."
"Not my fault that Jade's boyfriend had to open his big mouth. Think of it as winning with superior knowledge." They all giggled at the thought.
"Now, you all know the plan, right?" Her team nodded. "Well then get some rest and I'll see you all in the morning" They left saying their goodbyes leaving Hermoine and Kiara alone.
"Well" Kiara said stretching. "I'm gonna get some sleep. Night Hermoine."
"Night Kiara" Kiara started climbing the stairs when she remembered something.
"Oh! Hermoine?"
"Yeah?"
"The Headmaster told me to tell you that you're going to have a visitor next Tuesday in his office. He also told me you should be there around 3 in the afternoon." (A/N That would be the 14th of December)
"Thanks"
"Your Welcome."
Hermoine sat there for a while thinking about the newly given information.
'Why would the Headmaster need to see me on my birthday?'
The next morning the 7th year students were all frantically talking about the Quiditch match. It seemed that not only did the Prof. dismiss the Slytherin and Gryffindor classes she also invited the rest of the 7th years to watch the match.
Draco sat across from Hermoine telling her about a Dragon Quiditch match he'd gone to before.
"It's quite spectacular actually. It's a shame they don't play here." Draco said finishing his story.
"But they are playing here" She said. Hermoine loved correcting him.
He rolled his eyes at her. "I mean all the time, Hermoine."
"I wonder who the girls captain is?" He said aloud.
"Why do you ask Malfoy?" Kiara said joining their conversation.
"I just heard so much about the way she plays." He said. "It'd be nice to compare strategies with her"
"Don't worry Draco, I'll tell you after I beat her." Nicholas said joining the conversation.
"Are you sure about that Co.?" Kiara asked.
"Course I am" He says. "What about you? You're going to cheer me on right?"
"Sorry I only cheer for the team I know is going to win." Going back to the paper she was reading. "Besides I'm not gonna be there. Seeing you loose embarrasses me"
"That's cold sis."
"Truth hurts bro."
Hermoine sat in the bleachers next to Draco. She couldn't believe that they had become such good friends in such a short time, but anything's possible. He even told her the truth about his past and how he had to keep his identity secret for so long and how he planned on telling everyone his real name the day before winter break. She couldn't explain it she felt drawn to him.
"What is your real name though?" She couldn't help asking.
He grinned "You just have to wait and see"
She was about to respond when a horn sounded. The game was about to begin. They all sat quietly and watched as the players walked to the field, the captains leading the rest.
The teams wore similar uniforms. The boy team wore long black shirts with silver designs and black pants and the girls wore black halter-tops and black pants with silver jackets. The captains of both teams wore black trench coats, black pants, black hats and white T-shirts. But what people were looking at the most was the brooms they had.
Their brooms weren't just state of the art but they were pieces of art as well. The brooms were painted in different swirls of color and none of them looked to be the same style or shape, but they all suited their riders.
Prof. Fey stepped out to the middle of the pitch. "Alright I want to see a good clean game. Captains approach." Both captains were at her side. "You two will go for the snitch first to see in what round your seekers. Who ever catches the snitch first gets to choose. Do I make myself clear?" They both nodded.
"Alright get in the air"
The two captains were at least 20 feet from the ground facing each other.
"BEGIN" Prof. blew her whistle and let the snitch go.
The girls' captain got up on her broom and ran to the edge of it propelling her self to the ground. Every one stood up from their seats to look, they gasped at what they saw. The girl did not harm her self and was on the ground with the snitch in her hand.
"Captains go last" She said to Lunaty and got back up in the sky with the rest of her teammates.
And the game began.
The game was on 3 to 2. The girls were winning. There was only one round left and it was against the captains. The crowd was on the edge of their seats waiting for the next move. The last round was ending as the girls' captain advanced on the snitch. Nicholas pursued the snitch as well but was farther behind. The crowd looked up to see the two captains raced to the snitch while climbing higher in to the sky.
The girls' captain was on the top of her broom waiting for the right moment to jump. She jumped off and fell plummeting to the ground hard and fast. Everyone thought she was in danger, not even Madame Pomfrey could heal the wounds from that jump in time. The girl plummeted faster as she got closer to the pitch; they weren't expecting to see what happened next.
The captain screamed; "Hurricane". Just as she did her broom came flying on his own, as if to retrieve her.
She extended her arm to reach it and at six feet from the ground she grasped her broom and ended up safely on it. She took of her hat and grabbed what was inside. It was the snitch. The crowd cheered never believing that this game could be so thrilling. The girls had won.
Both captains faced each other. Nicholas gasped as he looked at his opponent.
"I thought you weren't going to be here." He smiled and held his hands up in defeat.
"Who said it was me up there?" She said looking up at her brother. He hugged her.
"Nicholas! What are you doing?" Rex asked. "She's our rival"
"She's also my sister" He moved over to let his team see who the captain was. Blitz's eyes grew wide with shock. Rex's jaw was dropped to the floor, while Andreus double over in laughter.
"Told you we'd whip your asses." She smirked and headed out of the Quiditch pitch followed by the boy who was still laughing and the boy who caused her pain.
On a dark cold night a girl was running to a mansion. She jumped on the roof without alarming the guards and slipped into the one of the attic's windows. She walked through the halls and was startled by a pair of hands that grabbed her and pinned her to a wall in a dark corridor. She didn't scream. She knew who her captor was.
"What is it you seek child of the night?" He said.
"The one I must give a message to" She said smirking.
He understood. "Very well, but watch your temper."
He took her through some corridors and stopped at black painted girl with ancient symbols in blood red. She entered the room.
The room was a boardroom with a long table in the middle. At the end of it sat a hooded man. He raised his head to look at the girl.
"What is it Mica?" He asked the man beside her. "Who have you brought to me?"
The man bowed his head. "Aurora, my lord. She's one of the Dragon royals who wishes to speak with you." He sidestepped allowing the girl to step forward and remove her cloak and hood. What the dark lord saw was a girl similar to the one who gave him his nightmares and his scar when he became a mindless beast after being captured by the Masters, her eyes were the same emerald color.
But she also looked like the woman who saved him after destroying the commanding master s of destruction. The woman he pledged his loyalty and life to protect. The women who felt pain because she helped Harry Potter after she gave him her blood.
He kept fighting Potter because of this, not for any other reason. He liked muggles and muggleborns; that was just a cover up. But he still felt responsible for what happened to the empress so he became a spy for her and vowed to himself that he would get Potter for the pain he caused his empress.
He stood up and bowed to her. She wasn't to happy about what she had to do, it made her sick to talk to a man who caused her grandmother pain. She didn't like Potter either and if given the privilege would have killed both of them on the spot. That's why Mica was supervising them in case things got dangerous.
"I came to tell you of a traitor in your ranks. He goes by the name Sahrrel, his real name is Dekryne." She said through her teeth.
Voldemort's head shot up in surprise. He thought that Dekryne died with the rest of the masters. This could cause problems.
"Grandmother said to leave him in her hands. But we need your help in something that can cause the eternal downfall of the Masters." He sat down and motioned her to continue. Aurora and Mica sat as well.
"His son and daughter are posing as Hogwarts students and are causing problem for my sister and brother. They plan on taking over as the leaders of the masters at the end of the year." She took a big breath; she didn't want to say the next part.
"We need you to pose as one of their loyal followers" She never liked asking for help but this was different. Her sister was in danger.
He sat there in shock. He couldn't believe what he had just heard, but he accepted it. He nodded in agreement. Aurora got up from her seat and went to the window.
"But understand one thing. I get to kill Potter if he interferes in the plan. He is my prey" With that she jump out the window and became a Hawk. She left with the satisfaction of knowing her job was done.
The battle was about to begin.
"Does every one know what today is?" Asked professor Lunaty. The class fell silent.
"Don't tell me you all forgot?" She continued putting her hands on her hips and pouting at them. "Someone has to know"
