Chapter 6: Sibling Rivalry!
It was the day of the first
Quidditch match, between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Amy with red and
gold hair and Rachel made their way down to breakfast and found that
Oliver had enchanted tableware and food to fly around resembling a
Quidditch game, whilst muttering instructions to himself. He looked
slightly stressed. Kirsti came over to wish them good luck and hers
and Oliver's eyes met for 30 seconds. He then led them down to the
changing rooms and gave them a boring, 1 hour long prep talk, which
Fred and George nearly fell asleep in. The team then walked on to the
pitch and the crowd did a Mexican wave. Madame Hooch ordered the team
Captains to shake hands, whilst Harry and Clare just gave each other
evil looks.
"Don't you dare catch the Snitch or I'll hex
you into next week." Clare said.
Five minutes
after the game had started Amy scored the first goal. Whilst Lee
Jordan was droning on about Firebolts, which was slightly irritating
Professor McGonagall.
"Just look at that fantastic
Firebolt in action, that built-in auto-break is superb." said
Lee "It goes 0-150 mph on 10 seconds. Ravenclaws got
no chance. The design..."
"Jordan have you been hired to
advertise Firebolts. Start commentating the match." shouted
McGonagall.
"Ok Professor, Rachel scores for Gryffindor."
declared Lee.
It was now Gryffindor 300, Ravenclaw
300 and Clare and Harry were both desperately trying to find the
snitch. Suddenly Harry caught sight of the Snitch hovering over
Kirsti's head, he did a seemingly careless swerve and landed on the
ground. Clare looked at him thoroughly confused, which then turned to
shock as he pulled the Snitch out from his sleeve. Clare landed
angrily as the Gryffindor stands erupted in applause.
"What
did I tell you?" Clare said, fuming, as she whacked him over
the head with her broomstick. Lily appeared from the stands and came
running over giving Harry and Clare a kiss and a hug each, whilst the
rest of the Gryffindors were dancing around as if they were on drugs
and Professor McGonagall had picked up Lee and kissed him with
happiness. Out of the corner of her eye Rachel noticed that Oliver
who had been doing loop the loops because Gryffindor had won, was now
hugging Kirsti.
It was now 3 in the afternoon and Amy had managed to survive falling off the Hippogriff she had been riding in her Care of Magical Creatures lesson and was now walking around with a sore backside. She found Rachel laughing hysterically about Professor Trelawney. She had just finished Divination and Trelawney had predicted that Rachel would suffer a long painful death next week. That evening they had another extra Defence Against the Dark Arts with Lupin learning about the Protego charm and Rachel helped the others with some extra Occulumency.
