The clock showed ten o'clock on the wall and the team had been sat together for around ten minutes. Nothing had been mentioned about breakfast they had just gone over their plans once they had changed into their game robes.
Now that they had finished with the game plan, which they had to a tee, the team all looked to Kathy who was red in the face.
"What?"
James laughed trying not to look at Christian who didn't look happy at all.
"What happened Kathy? Come on we want to know!"
She looked at each person in turn her gaze ending on Christian.
"Well he told me that I deserve better than Tom and asked if I'd like to go to Hogsmeade with him sometime. He told me he'd show me how I should really be treated."
"I'll kill him!"
"Tom! Look I haven't agreed to go or anything but he thinks that he can get me now. He said that he doubted it was even your fault, that you're a good guy really but boy does he hate you Amanda, he blamed you for the whole thing."
Amanda smiled happily while winking at Sirius.
"So what did he say about me?"
"You really want to know?"
"Yep, come on this could be fun."
"Okay. Well he thinks that you are the most deceitful person alive. He said there's something about you that you draw all this bad stuff to you and anybody who comes in contact with you will end up being hurt. You're the reason for all the bad things in the world really, Amanda."
"Well that's good to now. I can't wait to get out there and throw the Quaffle at him."
The time was quickly passing and before they knew it they were being called out onto the pitch. Christian stood and shook hands with Morgan before they all kicked off into the air. The spectators were making enough noise to get the atmosphere going.
Prewett blew the whistle and the game started. Christian and Ted quickly took their positions close to their chasers and weren't at all surprised to find that the Bludgers were being aimed at Amanda and not the other two.
This meant that James and Kathy were having clearer shots when in control of the ball but as Amanda was flying away she noticed Christmas take an aim towards James who had the ball. James had his back to the player and would not notice this attack.
Leaning into her broom she took off straight towards her friend. James saw her coming out of the corner of his eye and saw her indicate up, so quickly he darted up and the Bludger that would have hit him caught Summers one of their own chasers.
James headed forward towards the goal and with a dart to the right took aim and surprised Morgan by tossing the ball backwards into Amanda's hands who happily sank the ball through the left hoop.
A loud applause echoed through the stands. Morgan took the ball and passed it straight to Woodburn who swooped through the other players straight towards Sirius but a well-aimed Bludger from Ted left the ball in Amanda's hands as she sped off in the other direction.
Gabel though quickly saw her and with a powerful swing, sent the other Bludger straight at her. Amanda didn't see this one coming and it caught her on the side of the broom, causing her to spin out of control.
Dropping the ball, Kathy managed to get hold of it before Harris and continued down the path as Amanda headed for the ground. She scored easily and the wink that Morgan threw her way didn't go amiss.
A time out was called and the young Pomfrey found herself on the pitch looking over Amanda. Christian was stood just over next to Kathy and James whispering plays to them while Frank and Ted were looking around the sky, trying to glimpse the snitch.
Pomfrey moved aside and Sirius grinned down at Amanda.
"Getting in trouble already?"
"Yep, but I'm okay now, see? All bandaged up, so let's get back up there."
It was true; her left arm was completely strapped up; it wasn't the best solution but since she was determined to get back up there, it didn't matter. Christian quickly called them all over and they stood in a circle.
"Okay we're doing well 120-10 so here's what I want to do Amanda stay near Morgan as much as you can try to wind him up, maybe get a Bludger aimed at you, and then dart out of the way so it hits him okay."
Everyone nodded and the seven Gryffindors joined the Ravenclaws in the air. Amanda did as she was told and watched as James and Kathy flew around the place intercepting the Quaffle. She could hear Joseph's voice from the stands and then saw Kathy fly straight at her.
Amanda moved down as Kathy came at her, she saw the ball drop, but saw the force behind it. She caught the ball and took aim towards the hoop. James was flying just above her and saw him indicating.
His voice sounded as he yelled now and she tossed the Quaffle up and flew down lower. The Bludger that had been heading straight for her hit Morgan straight in the face and James happily scored yet another goal.
James flew closer to Amanda and leaning over his broom high-fived his friend. Another time out was called and they stayed in the air. They flew to the centre where the team was gathered.
"Good move you three, excellent, so just take advantage of that and then Frank catch that bloody Snitch already so we can get inside. I'm sick of the chants of cheating boyfriend the crowds are sending at me."
Kathy smiled and made a baby face at him just as the other team arrived in the air. The game started back up and Kathy managed to knock the ball out of Summers hands, as she was about to score, however it landed in Harris' who aimed.
Sirius saved the ball without much trouble and shot it back to Kathy she zoomed off to the other end but she was interrupted by Farr flying down before her, tossing the ball over her shoulder James caught it and scored just as the whistle sounded.
The entire team looked up to see Frank smiling from above and in his hand was the golden Snitch. He had tricked Farr into flying down and had caught the Snitch himself.
They quickly landed on the ground and in front of the entire school Christian took Kathy in his arms and bending her low kissed her. The rest of the team started jumping and whooping and Amanda hugged Frank kissing his cheek lightly before hugging Ted.
They saw Morgan head over and Kathy grabbed Amanda's hand and stood in front of him. He looked more annoyed than they had ever seen him.
"Kaffy wot yer doin', I fought 'e were wiv 'er not yer,"
Amanda grinned at him.
"Really Billy, I learnt my lesson; older guys are so not the way to go. We played you, made you think you had a chance with Kathy so you'd let her score. How does it feel to be messed around with?"
His eyes flashed with anger and he raised his hand up into the air.
"Amanda yer bitch, right! I'll cop yer for this, I'm bloody well gonin' ter kill yer"
As his hand came towards her he stumbled backwards after the force of Christian's fist on his already broken noise.
"You come near anyone on my team again and I'll be the one doing the killing."
With that the team laughing lightly headed to the showers.
Okay first 202 reviews thanks so much guys I never thought I'd get that many reviews. Some good news I'm working on fourth year and I've reached Christmas and its looking good so far.
Firewalker I'm glad you like the Kathy/Christian/Amanda/Billy thing cos its going to run through the next two chapters as well as you can tell, they're playing Billy and its fun.
They part of the year well the Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor takes place on the 21st April. So we're at the 21st April there's a bit of a gap because nothing much happened between February and April so I've moved straight to the good part.
Bitchiness well there's a bit in chapter 48 and 49 but that's it for this year and there's a twist fourth year is looking good, but the main bitchiness takes place in fifth year I have it all sorted out.
Jess There's not a lot up actually hun I'm just so busy at the moment that it's unbelievable. I'm working 20 hours a week at the moment because of all the holidays that are going on, but that's about it. Oh I went on a 21st party about two weeks ago and they made me dress as a fairy. If you want to see the embarrassing pictures they're on my live journal and the link is on my author page.
Karen Thank you I'm glad that you like the idea of what's happening as for Ginny I think there's more important things for her to worry about but you'll catch on to that later, about chapter 51, but I'm glad you're enjoying.
Okay well since my posting has been so bad lately I'm making you a promise, I have Thursday off work and I'll update this story again then. I'm promising you this there will be another chapter on Thursday.
