Chapter 5: Quidditch

Ron and Harry had their first Quidditch game of the season, both were EXTREMELY excited!

It was Gryffindor Vs. Ravenclaw, everyone was excited!

Ron went to Ally for support, and Harry went to Caitie

"Wish me good luck?" asked Ron just before the game

"Sorry can't." replied Ally simply

"What?" Ron was a bit confused; he could understand Hermione saying nothing but Ally!?

"Sorry Ron but I'm playing Quidditch too." She looked really sorry as she said these words. It took a while before it sunk in.

"You Quidditch?" laughed Ron "your muggle born do you even know what Quidditch is?"

Ally looked hurt, she may have been muggle born but like Hermione she prepared herself for the wizarding world with...books!

"Of course I know what Quidditch is!" and with that she stormed of leaving a very confused Ron behind.

It was time. Harry and Ron lined up with the rest of the team, as the walked into the pitch a thousand or more people looked down at them. The sun gleaming onto their faces felt warmer then usual "Great weather conditions!" whispered Harry. Madame. Hootch told the two captains to shake hands.

"I want a fair game!" she said as the 2 teams rise into the air.

Harry, who faced the opposing Seeker, was shocked to see the new Ravenclaw seeker!

Cho Chang had been thrown off the team for her poor flying the year before and now in her place was...Ally!

They looked at each other as the whistle blew and the Quaffle went into the air, Ally grinned then took off on her Nimbus 2001. Harry still floating there looking bemused, shook back to reality off he went.

As he circled the pitch he couldn't help feeling impressed. Ally was muggle born, true, but her flying skills were impeccable.

She too circled the pitch, she zoomed towards the ground, Harry watching her every move, zoomed after her. Just as she came close to the ground she pulled out of her move, and Harry hit the floor! "SHE DID A WRONKSIE FEINT!" thought Harry before he felt the pain in his left arm.

He tried to get up but it just wasn't working, he groaned. Hermione and Caitie came rushing to his side. "Harry are you all right?" asked Caitie a pang of worry in her voice, "Ya I'm fine." He groaned once more tried to get up.

As he got up to get back on his broom he stopped.

"Ally's a Gryffindor, why is she playing for Ravenclaw?" this thought hadn't occurred to him until now.

It was Caitie who had the answer, "Well Erika told me that Ravenclaw couldn't find any seekers and they didn't want Cho back, so they asked Dumbledore for help and he told them that Ally would be delighted to be on their team!"

Harry looked up he saw Ally zooming about and without another word he hoped back on his broom.

"Why are people always making exceptions for her?" thought Harry "they would never do that for anyone else...why her?"

Before he could answer this he saw a glint of gold. It wasn't to far he could get it with out any one noticing. He looked at Ally, apparently Ally had seen the snitch as well but she looked hesitant.

Harry zoomed into action flying fast, before he got it he looked again at Ally who still looked cautious just floating there.

"GRYFFINDOR WINS!!!" it was the only piece of commentary he had heard the whole day, but maybe it was because of his lack of focus.

Ally came down; she was trembling "Sorry I didn't give you a fight." She told Harry "I was afraid to win against Gryffindor!" she laughed.
