The Irish Quidditch Girl
Chapter 4
---2 days later---
I opened my eyes and it was dark outside. My clock said 9:00 p.m. I raised myself up and stood up. I swayed a little. I had a vase of white roses on my bedside table there was a card that read,
'To Cat,
I heard what happen so I though I would send you something to make you feel better.
Love you,
Kael '
I rolled my eyes and thought to myself 'What does he think I am a muggle? I went to Mungo's for God sake.' I ran my hand down the back of my head. 'Not even a scratch.' I rotated my left arm 'It's fully healed.' I smiled and looked next to it there was a letter from Ron.
'Hey Cat,
I hope you are ok. Well you most likely are you did go to Mungo's. I gave Krum a almost broken nose. If it wasn't for George it would have been a broken nose. (I laughed) Hermione says 'You better get better. I need someone to talk to next year besides these two' Harry says He hopes you get better. Fred and George say 'She better still be hot or will kill Krum.' (I laughed again) That's Fred and George for you. Charlie says you have to get better because next summer you have to help him with the dragons. Ginny says 'Cat I hope you get better. Ummm… next year could you teach me Quidditch better I play on the team as a chaser.' Me mum and dad can't believe that we all know you. Well see you when school starts.
-Ron-
I smiled at his letter and then saw one from Jess.
Cat you better be ok! Alright this is totally of subject but thank you for introducing me to Fred! He called me! Call me when you get better will go horse back riding. Ekkk! He called me!
See you
Jess
P.S Have you seen the papers?
P.S.S He called me.
P.S.S.S I had no Butter Beer today.
I picked up the paper next to the letter and read the head lines.
'O'Calloghan knocked unconscious by Krum! Details on page six!' The picture was me one the ground after I had fell. I turned to page six wanting to see what they said.
'O'Calloghan was knocked unconscious yesterday while going to get school supplies she stopped in the local Quidditch store. In that same store was he biggest rival Victor Krum. He was still holding a grudge from the World Cup. She did her best to calm him down. But he punched her and broke her collar bone. She managed to get up the first time then Krum knocked her feet out from under her and she fell on her already hurt arm. She got back up and then she must have gotten dizzy and she fell backstraight into a display of the Firebolt 2004 and didn't get up. Her friend took charge after she saw it. Then her friend Ron Weasly started a fight in order to defendMiss O'Calloghanand managed to almost break his nose. We are expecting a fully recover from Miss O'Calloghan. Krum isn't expected to be playing in the up coming matches.'
There were pictures of Ron fighting Krum. Ron had a good number of cuts including a black eye
'What did he think he was doing? It's sweet of him to do that. But he could have gotten really hurt.' I thought to myself.
I opened my window and grabbed my broom and flew out. ((AN: hey I know it's a bad idea but even I couldn't stop her))
I flew over to his house and looked till I found his room.
"Ron, Ron, RON!" I yelled. That woke him up. When he noticed it was me he was stunned.
"Cat what are you doing?" He said opening his window.
"I came to say…" I looked at him and saw he had a black eye. "Please say you got that from one of your brothers and not defending me.
He smiled and said "Then I won't tell you."
I laughed and said "I came here to say thanks for sticking up for me. I appreciate it."
"Ron who are you talking to?" Ginny said walking in.
"No one Gin go back to bed."
She turned around and walked out of the room.
I laughed and said "No, I was looking at my ceiling."
"What is so special about a ceiling?"
"Nothing just thinking."
"What ever. To say thank you" I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek "you now can tell everyone you were kissed by as your brother's say, a hot Quidditch player"
His face went beet red.
I laughed and said "It's my thank you gift."
He swallowed hard and said "Thanks."
"Your welcome." I smiled. "I have to get home before my parents realize that I'm not home."
"Bye" He said.
"See you on the train at the end of the week?"
He nodded.
"Alright, then bye." I turned my broom around and flew off to my house.
When I got there I placed my broom where I found it and looked at the roses. For some reason I didn't care any more about Kael. If this would have been any day earlier I would have loved to get flowers from him but… I didn't feel that way about him. I sighed I didn't like have a boyfriend if I didn't fell anything for him.
'By the time he gets this letter I hopefully will be at school.' I thought. 'I'll write it tomorrow." I laid down my head and fell asleep.
I never wrote that letter. I think not writing it right then was a bad idea.
I woke up the next morning and walked down the stairs.
"Cat your awake!" My father said. I had been knocked on unconscious once before. During my first real match I got hit in the head with a bulger. It was not very fun.
After a few minutes of the 'your awake' crap I ate breakfast and asked "Umm… Can I go horse back ridding tomorrow with Jess?" Last time I was knocked out I went to another game the day.
"Yes if you are very careful and stay in bed today." Elizabeth said.
I let out a moan. "Alright I'll stay in bed."
----The next day----
I tacked up my horse and waited for Jess. A few moments later I saw her.
"Hey Jess!" I shouted leading my horse over to her.
"Catriona O'Callaghan! I'm going to hurt you so bad for scaring me like that!"
I laughed and said "Jess you wouldn't do that because look I'm all better!"
She rolled her eyes and said "Let's go."
We led the horses out and mounted them. We where ridding for about 30 minutes when I noticed three guys watching us.
I slowed my horse down and said to Jess "Those guys have been watching us." I shifted uncomfortable in my saddle.
"And there coming over here." She said trying not to laugh. "Should we move or stay?"
"Let's stay and find out who they are. Then will find out what to do."
I turned my horse around and said as they came closer, "Can I help you?"
The one with slicked back blond hair said "Yes, I am Draco Malfoy and this is Crabbe and Goyle."
I held out my hand to shake his and said "I am Catriona O'Callaghan and this is Jess Noe."
He took my hand and kissed the top off it. I pull my hand away. I smiled as sweetly as I could.
"So, Mr. Malfoy,"
"Please call me Draco."
"So,Draco how can my friend and I help you and your friends?"
"I was just wondering where you are going to school next year."
"I'm going to Hogwarts."
"I have already graduated." Jess snapped
"Oh, I'm a sixth year over at Hogwarts."
"So am I." I said.
"I heard what happened to you." Draco said.
"I bet everyone back home has heard about it." I said laying on my accent.
"Umm… Miss O'Callaghan can I have you sign this?" Crabbe said.
"Do bother her." Draco said.
"It's ok I don't mind." I took the piece of paper and signed it.
"You look familiar." I said to Draco.
"I, uh, do?"
"You do but I can't put my finger on it."
"It's Lucius Malfoy's son." Jess said.
"Oh yeah! I met him at the World Cup!" I thought for a second. "I also met you and your mother! I remember you guys now."
"You were very quiet and distance after the Romania team left."
"Hey who wants to race?" Jess said.
"Sound like fun." I said.
"Sure." Draco said.
"Will start from over there and Crabbe you and Goyle can be the finish line." Jess said.
"Alright." We rode over to the starting line.
"No one go easy one me just cause I just came out of the hospital."
They both nodded.
"On your mark, get set, GO!" Jess yelled. We took off. At first it seemed like Draco was going to win, then me, then Jess. I won.
"Jess! Did you see that! I won I have never won at horse back riding."
"Congrats!" She said happily. "That means it's time for you to start teaching me Quidditch."
"Ok." I looked at Draco. "No hard feelings?"
"No hard feelings."
I looked at my watch. "Ackkkkk! I have to go! Jess I'll see you at Hogsmade! I'll see you guys at school I guess." I rode off for the stables. Took everything off my horse and brushed him then hosed him down. When I was done I went home.
