That night Ron, Hermione, Harry and Vikki were in the common room doing their homework. They seemed to have a lot this year, especially with O.W.L's coming up.
"Do you believe it?" Ron started. "They gave all this homework on the first day Tranfiguration, Divination, Potions and Charms! How do they expect us do do all this research in one night?" he complained.
"What, you mean you're not done?" Vikki asked.
"What? It's not like you're done either,"' Hermione remarked.
"Yes, I am." said Vikki, with a curious look on her face.
"What? I'm still on Revision!" complained Hermione.
"Whoa, she beat your record! She's done before you if you're smart she must be a genius!'' Ron exclaimed, looking over at Vikki, somewhat amazed.
"Oh please you're making me blush." Vikki said with embarrassment.
After an hour or so Harry was done so he decided to go to bed early; He had a dream. (Such a surprise there huh?)
He was standing on a platform in the Quidditch field. He had won the Cup. Everyone was cheering, he saw Cho smiling at him on the other side was Vikki smiling too. He quickly awoke, not sure what it meant. He turned over to Ron, who still seemed to be working on an essay by candle light. Harry explained to Ron what had happened in the dream...
"It's a sign, Harry I mean, I don't want you to realize it but, maybe you like her." Ron said.
"Me? Like her? Nah, I don't think so.I mean I would know... wouldn't I?" Harry asked Ron, trying not to realize the obvious.
"Good night Harry!" Ron said as he blew the candle out.
The next morning; Harry saw Vikki he started to get a weird feeling in his stomach. He glared at his stomach, and rubbed it, figuring he must have been hungry.
"Good morning Harry!" Vikki greeted, as she straighted out her Quidditch robes. "Harry where are you're Quidditch robes?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
Harry had totally forgot about the game this morning. "I'll be right back! Wait for me." said Harry, as he ran to get his robes.
"Last time I waited for you to get them off we almost got a detention for being late! We better not be late to my fist Quidditch game of the season!" Vikki shouted down up the stairs to the boys dorms.
Once Harry got down they rushed out of the Common Room and down towards the Quidditch Pitch. Harry was trying to catch up with Vikki; but tripped on a step.
"Harry are you all right?" Vikki asked, helping him up.
"Ouch! I hurt my leg!" Harry said, through gritted teeth.
Harry leaned on Vikki for support. They finally got to the field. Angelina said that Vikki would be taking Harry's position as Seeker. Vikki was excited; She was going to play her favorite postion and they had gotten another Chaser. Hermione and Ron helped Harry up to the stands. Lee Jordan was having a great time telling everyone what was going on.
"Welcome to the first Quidditch game of the season! Slytherin versus Gryffindor!" He paused to hear the crowd cheer loudly.
"We have ourselves a new Seeker today since Harry Potter had a leg injury on his way over here, so let's give it up for the schools new legend: Vikki Valentine!"
Vikki waved as the whole stadium was filled with cheers. But the only one that was blantly heard was Ron.
"WHOO! Go Vikki! Kick Malfoy's--''
"Ron don't you dare finish that sentence you'll embarass us and Vikki--So just shut it!" snapped Hermione. Ron blinked and decided it would be a good idea to take her advice.
"And the Quaffle is realeased, the Bludgers are about, and the Snitch is flying, and the game begins! Angelina Johnson has the Quaffle, that sexy beast of mine, Kidding Professor! Kidding! Heh . . She then passes it to Katie Bell--Who's pretty cute too-- Sorry Professo-- then she passes it to Alicia Spinnet who flys to the hoop and throws it and--GRYFFIDOR SCORES!"
The pitch filled with roars and cheers, and boo's from the Slytherin's were slightly heard.
"Gryffindor still in possesion! Bell passes to... nevermind a Slytherin took it from her and she almost fell off her broom too! He should be prosecuted for that foul play!" Jordan shouted. "Jordan I'm warning you if you don't come up with more professional remarks, I'll have to take over!" McGonagall said, with a serious look on her face.
"Anyway, hold on I think Vikki found the Snitch!''
With that Malfoy was on her trail.
"Come on Vikki catch it before you--" Harry whispered he didn't get to finish his sentence.
"Vikki lost it! She lost it! Good try though! ''Jordan announced.
"Lose it." Harry finished.
Then it happened, something that hasn't happened in quite a while . . .Vikki had lost total control of her broom
"Oh, no Vikki's lost control of her Firebolt! Didn't that happen to Potter at his first game? Must be Seeker tradition heh Professor?"
Professor McGonagall did not look pleased.
"Ha ha ha . . . Sorry Professor." Jordan said nervously, hoping that she wouldn't take over. Vikki swifted and swerved in many directions.
"Who's doing that? I swear I'll kill whoevers putting a curse on her!" Ron threatened looking for the culpret.
"I don't care if my leg does hurt I'm going to help her! I have to!" Harry exclaimed as he grabbed his Firebolt.
"Be careful, Harry!" Hermione yelled, as she too was helping Ron find the person reponsible for all this.
Harry flew to Vikki and the whole crowd gasped as he flew towards her the broom flipped completly upside down Vikki hung on as hard as she could.
"Vikki! Don't worry I'll carry you to the stands."
"No, Harry find the Snitch.'' Vikki said, as she tightened her grip on her broom.
"But Vikki, if you fall you might--"
"Don't worry about me I can hang on for a while. Just go an get the Snitch!" Vikki yelled.
Harry took off he despratley needed to find it as fast as he could in order to save Vikki in time.
After a minute or two, he found it. He flew as fast as he could. Malfoy followed his lead as he pushed and tried to knock him off his broom.
Meanwhile in the stands Hermione and Ron were looking that's when Ron looked behind him to see his little sister Ginny keeping her eye on the game rather strangly and whispering something odd like a curse.
"Why you little brat!" Ron yelled, as he jumped and tackled Ginny. Hermione saw what was happening and she yelled.
"Ron what do you think you're doing?! You'll kill her! Ron get off her now!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen we have a fight going on in the stands!" Jordan announced. Vikki's grip loosened again. "Back to the game, well Vikki is still remarkably holding on to her broom."
With Jordan's words Vikki's broom started to shake and a Bludger hit it, she let go she was hanging by one arm.
"I guess not. She's hanging by a thread! Will Potter catch the Snitch in time? This is like a soap opera! This would make really good money don't you think Profes-- Nevermind. . ." Said Jordan.
Harry and Malfoy were still fighting for lead. Then all of a sudden a Bludger came their way. Harry missed it just in time and Malfoy tried to move but it hit his broom and he lost control. Harry, flying as fast as he could, reached his hand out he was inches away when he heard the whole crowd gasp in fear.
Ron had let go of Ginny and looked over at Vikki. "Oh I swear! She better not be hurt, Ginny!" Ron exclaimed. Ginny shrugged, and looked over at Vikki.
Harry reached out almost had it when--
"HARRRRY!" Vikki screamed as she started to fall. Harry quickly turned around and flew underneath her for a save as he caught her. Harry smiled as he looked into his hand to find the Snitch.
"GRYFFINDOR WINS!" Jordan announced. As the stadium roared with cheers and applause for the excellent save, Ron and Hermione had relief on thier faces.
"She better be okay when we go down there or else !'' Ron threatened.
"Vikki are you okay?" Malfoy asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for asking." Vikki said.
"What a save Potter I thought she might get killed or seriously injured in your hands." Malfoy said, as he departed.
Ron pushed Ginny toward Vikki. "Say it!" he ordered, with seriousness on his face.
"I'm sorry." Ginny said as if she didn't mean it.
"Say it like you mean it!" Ron yelled and pushed Ginny again.
"Sorry! Happy Ron?''Ginny said as she stomped toward the castle.
"What is she sorry for?" Vikki asked in confusion.
"That little brat put the curse on your broom." Ron said.
"What? Why?" asked Vikki.
Harry looked at Ginny's back in shock. He didn't think she'd do something like that...
"Ginny has a--" Ron said.
Hermione sighed. "I know where your going with that, and your wrong. She just wants attention . . " Said Hermione.
"Why? She gets enough as it is at home." said Ron, with an raised eyebrow.
"Yes, but she doesn't get any here." said Hermione. "Just pay attention to her more. She'll appreciate it."
"Right... Let's go to lunch.'' Ron said as they headed toward the castle."Thanks again Harry." Vikki said.
"No sweat!" Harry bragged.
Soon it was time, the holidays were drifting near, and many students were looking forward to leaving for the Christmas holiday.
"So, Ron are you staying here or going home for Christmas?" Hermione asked.
"I'm staying-- Hold on, Vikki are you staying or going?'' Ron asked.
"I'm staying." Vikki answered.
"Yes, I'm staying." Ron said.
"Well, since we're all staying we should go out to Hogsmeade. We'll split up so that way we can buy presents for each other. Then we'll meet in the ice cream parlor." Hermione said.
"That's a great idea, but Harry I need help buying something for Ginny can you help me with that?" Ron asked.
"Um . . sure?" Said Harry, unsure.
Hermione was at Flourish and Blotts doing some shopping for herself. Vikki was at Jambol and Gapes buying some stuff for Fred and George to add to their practical joke collection. Ron and Harry were at a store called Modern Witch.
"Ron are you sure that there's something here that Vikki would like?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, Mum and Ginny shop here all the time. They got charm bracelets, not those horrible Muggle kind, real charm bracelets. I'm going to get her 'love'." Ron said with a pleased look on his face.
"What'd ya mean?" Harry asked.
"Well, if I give her a love one then she will find her true love." Ron said, smiling.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Harry asked, with a suspicious look on his face.
Ron widened his eyes, as if he said something he should have. "Nothing, nevermind."
Harry looked at him suspiciously again, but figured it was nothing of any importance. Once they were done shopping, they all met at the parlor.
"So did everyone get they're shopping done?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, pretty much." Ron answered.
They all headed to the castle and went to sleep. The next day was Christmas....
