CHAPTER 9: Quidditch Time

Thursday afternoon was sunny and found Welsh waiting on the Quidditch field for the Gryffindor team.

"How do you want to proceed?" She asked Wood as he and the rest of the team arrived.

Wood grinned at her, "Just give us a good work out Professor."

Welsh laughed at him, "I guess its good for me that I know how to play the game. Lets get started."

Welsh played different positions against the team even tweaking the Weasley twins on the ear as she swooped past them, finally she and Harry were chasing after the golden snitch trying to outrace each other when something caught Welsh's eye.

"Oh my god," she gasped out

Harry gulped when he realized what Welsh was looking at.

Welsh turned to Harry, "On the ground NOW." she said.

As they landed she yelled . . .

"GRYFFINDOR TO ME!"

Everyone landed around her in moments.

"We have trouble heading towards us. Wood I want you to get your team inside, Harry you go tell Dumbledore what you've seen. Tell him… I am taking care of it."

She looked at them all. "Now children Quickly."

As they headed inside Welsh flew around to the front of the school. Dismounting the broom she cast a protection spell on the school. The front door shut with a loud click.

Welsh began to wait for the enemy.
