The days went by rather quickly, despite Thursday afternoon's double
potions class. Harry had passed Skarlett several times and he smiled at
her, Cho, who scowled when Skarlett smiled back, caught all the smiles. The
quidditch match was too be a very exciting one as their own hopeless
beaters would have to deal with Skarlett's accuracy and precision hitting.
The morning of the match, Ron, Ginny and Harry ate a good breakfast, and as Ron had more confidence, he was able to actually keep his meal down this time.
They travelled along the road to the quidditch grounds and went and got ready. They mounted their brooms and waited for Colin Creevey to start commentating, since Lee had left last year.
'Welcome to the first match this year between Slytherin and Gryffindor... Um, players mount your brooms.... GRYFFINDOR!' Gryffindor zoomed out and Harry took his position and started hovering the field. 'SLYTHERIN!' and the Slytherin's zoomed out, Harry noticed he wasn't the only one on a fire bolt. Skarlett had one too.
Draco Malfoy flew up to where Harry was and watched eager for the snitch to come from the trunk. They watched it flutter for a moment and it zoomed off.
'On my whistle!' Madam Hooch yelled and blew the whistle. The match was on.
Harry spotted the snitch and zoomed after it, he was sure that it was faster this year, or just the lack of practice from last year. He put in an extra burst of speed and took off away from Draco. Draco put pressure on Harry and zoomed after him. Some big crony who was coming down with the quaffle was threatening Ron. He passed the quaffle to Pansy who fumbled with it and then passed back. Ron shifted to defend and as the quaffle flew towards him, he kicked it high, into the hands of Katie who dunked it through the goals on the opposite side.
Cheering rung through the crowd and the little counter put 10 up for Gryffindor. Harry and Draco lost the snitch a while back but the glittering was nearby and it was obvious Draco saw it too, because they both took off at the exact same time. Skarlett was flying along side of Pansy who had managed to grip the quaffle. A bludger flew out towards her and Skarlett flew between them and hit the bludger away from Pansy, who said thanks. Harry and Draco were flying after the snitch, when the bludger made contact with Harry in the head and he fell several hundred feet to the ground. Draco grinned and continued pursuit as Skarlett zoomed down to the ground, followed by Ron and Katie.
'Get away from him you have done enough as it is!' Hermione screamed at Skarlett who stood there with her hand over her mouth watching them carry Harry off the pitch. She undid her wrist guards as Draco flew to the ground.
'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING FLYING DOWN HERE?!' Draco bellowed.
'I HIT HIM AND HE'S MY FRIEND'
'STUPID LITTLE BITCH'
'I SHOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED. YOU KNOW DAMN WHY I DIDN'T PLAY ANYMORE YET YOU CONVINCED ME TO!'
'YOU'RE LUCKY I EVEN WANTED YOU ON THE TEAM I WAS MADE TO TAKE YOU I DIDN'T WANT YOU.'
'YOU BLOODY GIT!'
Skarlett flew at Draco and decked him on the floor while holding him by the throat.
'Want to hurt me Skarlett?' Draco wiggled from her grip and got up. 'Huh, Do you care about Potter?!'
'Cause I do, I flew down here didn't I, I came to see if he was alright!' Skarlett threw her bat at Draco's foot landing on his toes and he kicked it off narrowly missing Skarlett's leg.
'I thought you liked me!' Draco screamed at her.
'Don't be daft, you know damn well I do, Harry is my friend what was I supposed to have done, left him down there?! Not like you ...you ..insensitive bloody grub, why don't you go cry to your daddy!'
'Don't you dare insult my family!'
WHAM. Skarlett was hit with a punch right in the nose and eye and she fell holding her nose, right onto her beaters bat, hitting her head and knocking her out cold.
'Oh crap!' Draco fell onto his knees and cradled Skarlett in his arms. 'Damnit I didn't mean this!' He kissed her on her forehead and carried her towards the exit of the pitch with all the Slytherin's watching over. Skarlett's body, limp from being unconscious, bobbed as Draco walked to the hospital wing.
