'I do kind of miss Sultan's trademark Slytherin-bating, though,' Riku thought wstfully.
'Good thing they didn't put a Slytherin up there.
Doubt I could stand that for more than one game.'
As the game stretched on and Riku swept through the tangle of Bludgers and broomsticks, he listened to Aladdin's commentary with one ear.
"Slytherin in possession-Chaser Aireth Duquesa, very talented second-year, first female on the team in over twenty years, you know- Gryffiondor Chaser Laxerne Amaya misses-she's also a second-year, new to the team-
Duquesa throws-no, feints-throws- SLYTHERIN SCORES!"
A glint of sunlight caught Riku's eye-but it was only a refelction from Roxas's glasses.
Another flash to his left, and he turned-but it was just Kate's fiery pink hair, which tended to catch his eye whether they were in the air or not.
She looked nice today.
"Ohh, another excellent block on the Gryffiondor side-Keeper Genie must have a Quaffe-attracting charm on his gloves-eight shots by Slytherin and only one has passed him so far.
"Jafar and Sora, in a rare display of teamwork, batted both Bludgers at Riku in unison.
He curved out of their paths without giving it more than a moment's thought.
