chapter 6: the first match

After dinner the next evening, Harry suggested going to see Hagrid.

"Seeing as Slytherin have booked the pitch all this week in the evening, we don't have anything to do, we might as well. Haven't seen him all week."

"Ok, beats staring on that charms paper. I thought Angelina booked it any way? Instead we have to get up early."

"Well, you know what they're like, don't give a toss about what anyone else does. Besides, i like Hagrid, came up here in the boat with him you know, said that I'd fit in just fine and didn't need to worry about finding friends." Summer said. Even Hermione agreed on going to see him, even though she had homework to do too.

They made their way down to Hagrids hut at quarter to eight to be greeted by an overexcited Fang.

"Ah! Wond'rd when I'd be a seein' you lo'! come in come in, you too Summer, see tol' you you'd make good friends, best o' the lot n all." He exclaimed as they entered. He busied himself around the fire making them tea and asking about their holidays.

"I reckon you'll do well this match, yer all bin tryin' real hard, seen yer in the mornin' , don' you worry 'bout those Slytherins, they aint got a chance now." He said as the conversation moved to the forth coming Quidditch match this Saturday.

Saturday moring was very tense and seemed to pass incredibly slowly to Summer. She sat at the breakfast table, trying to eat, but only succeeded in eating half a piece of toast. Even Harry and Ron were having trouble, even though they had both done this before.

"Oh do try and eat something, you can't go out and play on an empty stomach!" Hermione said.

"Its just that, we normally play a team we can beat and get ahead quickly, not Slytherin, and I hate to admit it, they are quite good, well at cheating any way." Harry sighed. "Come on you two, we should go and get ready." Summer followed Harry and Ron to the changing rooms in silence, feeling quite shaky but determined to go through with it. They changed into their robes, and made their way out onto the pitch.

"Captains shake hands, then mount your  brooms!" cried madam Hooch. The teams did as they were told.

Hovering in mid air waiting for the game to start, Summer caught sight of Draco. He looked up and grinned at her, also waiting for the balls to be released. The whistle blew and the match started. Katie bell had managed to get hold of the quaffle and was tearing up the pitch with it. A bludger came soaring towards her, and Lee Jordan was yelling out the commentary, and as usual siding with the other team and being yelled at by Professor McGonagall.

"If you do not stop being biast, you will most certainly be taken off!" she yelled.

Summer however, found that she couldn't concentrate on that as she now had the quaffle and was in front of the goal post.

"And new player Chainley has it, will she score…and YES! She did!"! is 10-0 to Gryffindor!" Summer cheered with the rest of her team, and then got back into position as the game resumed play. Two minutes after, Ginny scored twice, and Slytherin got just one.

Harry cheered along with the rest of his team, glad to be ahead. He circled above the pitch, looking for that small golden glimmer. And there, just by the central goal post. Just behind Ron, there it was. He leaned forwards and then down in a spiral. Draco had noticed this and got hurtling after him, and as usual, had fallen for it. Pulling out of the dive, he managed to swing back around to the right and go speeding toward the goal post.

"Ron" Ron, get outta the way!" he yelled as Ron came nearer and nearer….too late. He had got headlong into Ron. As he pulled out of the tangle, dazed, he suddenly realised that three quarters of the stands were cheering. Looking into his left hand, he saw the tiny snitch frantically trying to escape. He grinned at Ron as the rest of the team pulled him back and held him up all cheering.

"That was some crash!" Summer exclaimed later in the changing rooms. "Thought you'd knocked each other out for a moment!"

"Yeah, but hey, we won! Well done Potter!" said one of the beaters, clapping Harry on the back.

"Well done, you three!" Hermione exclaimed as she met up with them outside the changing rooms. "You should of seen the Slytherin tam, they were practically steaming! I think they though that with two new players, they weren't going to loose because they'd be too nervous. Proved them wrong though!" they made their way to the common room, and as usual, there was a large cheer as Harry entered and the rest of the team which came in shortly after.

"That was a brilliant save!" Dean yelled as he saw Harry. "Best ever, especially with that awesome crash!"

"You know what, its been pretty quiet around this year." Ron said five hours later. The common room was empty except for the four, who all sat in front of the roaring fire in the old arm chairs.

"Yeah, nothing seems to of come up really." Harry agreed. "maybe Voldemort is planning something, but I guess we haven't caught anything of it. My scar hasn't even hurt at all."

"Well, think your self lucky, for once you're not in danger." Hermione said.

"Maybe he's in another country." Summer suggested. "After all, it might be easier to hide out there, even though he wants to get you Harry." They were silent for  a while, contemplating this thought.

"Well, I'm tired." Yawned Ron eventually. "After all that flying and all." They all agreed and slowly made their way up to bed, barely making it all the way there.
