Chapter Ten.
Robyn, Michelle, Emma-Leigh and Matt walked into the Gryffindor Common Room like they owned the place.
"Ohhh!" Robyn and Matt said together, both of them previoulsy staying in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff oohhed when they were hit by the red and gold warmth.
"Wow the hufflepuffs is so different... so plain!" Robyn said as she settled into a large armchair by the blaising fire.
"yup," Matt said agreeing. "Those Ravenclaws are soo bookish eh? I mean I'm a genius... but come on!" Matt said sitting next to Robyn. The Gryffindors were eager to get to know their new house mates, but luckily they started to drift off to bed in small groups and eventually only the golden trio were left. All sitting in armchairs except for Emma-Leigh who was curled and propped up on a few pillows on the floor.
"I could move you know, you could sit on the chair" Harry said to Emma-Leigh for about the billionth time, Within a second Emma-Leigh had drawn her wand and pointed it straight at him.
"Listen Potter, I am fine where I am" She looked at her watch, "Same as 23 seconds ago, a minute before that, 47 seconds before that, 3 minutes before that... so Potter STOP ASKING ME THAT!" She half yelled. Harry looked absolutely terrified until Emma-Leigh and Michelle burst into hysterical laughter as she put her wand back into her pocket.
"You shoulda 'gasp' seen 'gasp' your face Harry 'gasp' OH MY GOD that was funny!" They continued to laugh as Harry blushed and sank lower in the chair.
"Aww Harry" Emma-Leigh said disentangled herself from her pillow mess, sat on top of him and flung her arms around his neck. "Is Harry upset with me?" She looked into his eyes with a puppy dog face.
"No" he said in a tone clearly meant for some one he was upset with.
"Haaarrrryy!" she whined.
"ooh! watch out Harry thats the same whine she uses on me!" Matt said. Harry laughed.
"Emma-Leigh how can any one stay made at you with that face?" Emma-Leigh's perma puppy eyes vanished.
"Yay!" she kissed him on the cheek and went back to her pillow fort.
"I never got that after that whine..." Matt said grumpily, then quickly after a pillow collided with his head.

This year the natural order of Quidditch was a little messed up. Instead of Gryffindor VS Slytherin for the first match it was Gryffindor VS Ravenclaw. Having no commentator as Lee Jorden graduated last year, the people of Hogwarts were questioning who would to the honours. As the school made their way to the pitch they looked up to the announcers box and could see a gleam of blonde hair. Back in the changing rooms the Gryffindors were changing into their red robes. Harry was giving them the "last minute" pep talk that had been going on for the last seventy three minutes.
"HARRY SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Ginny said. She was one of the new chasers. He looked at his mostly baby team, Two beaters and two chasers were new. He knew Ginny was good, and Katie as well seeing as he had played with her for the last four years (i say four cuz they didn't play one year cuz of the tri tourni) but he wasn't sure how she would do. She seemed to have the same problem as Ron. Ron on the other hand seemed to have out grown his awkward phase, and was singing Weasley is our king under his breath as he grabbed his broom. His two beaters were NOT up to the twins standards but he realized no one ever would be, and that he would have to make due with what he had. Harry shouldered his broom and walked his team to the pitch.
"And here comes my favourite team!" The announcer said into the magical mega-phone. Harry looked up and smiled, This was going to be an interesting game. He waved to Emma-Leigh and saw McGonagall's face, she looked like she had another Lee on her hands.
"Don't worry Mc-G I'll be completely un-bias! I mean my sister is in Ravenclaw. Lets get on with the game Gryffindor VS Smelly Ravenclaw... just kidding... wow touchy!" McGonagall was banging her head on the seat in front of her.
"Uhm Right... Madam Hooch is so graciously waiting for Professor McGonagall to calm down." she looked over at the still head banging Professor "But it doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon so lets get on with the game! The balls are in the air! hee hee I j ust said balls!" Emma-Leigh could practically hear Michelle's eyes rolling. "Wow Mandy moment... Anyays Gryffindors Ginervra Weasley presently has the Quaffle and passes to Fisher, who ducks out of the way so Tylers of Ravenclaw take the Quaffle towards Weasley!" Jannessa Tylers grabbbed the Quaffle and flew down towards Ron. She swerved right and left
"She shoots for the left hoop and Ron easily saves it, It was so obvious. Any good Keeper could see that, pitiful, anyways at the other end of the field the Gryffindor chasers just showed a spectacular display as both Bell and Weaslyette with a little help from Tylers scored two goals... since I started blathering about the Ravenclaw team so 20 to Gryffindor!" The game continued goals made by both teams, cheers and boos, and snide comments about the performance by Ravenclaw made by Emma-Leigh.
"And that right there my friends is why Gryffindor are winning! Our Chasers phenomenal... Beaters... UnBeatable! Keeper absolutely fantastic. and our Seeker... well hasn't done much yet... But is looking damn fine with his wind swept hair and his look of pure determination as he sweeps through the air after the golden ball no one but he and I have noticed because of my usless banter!" Harry smiled as he urged his broom to faster chasing the little ball. The crowds were deafening, boos from one side cheers from another. The RAvenclaw seeker was halfway across the pitch as Harry grasped the Golden Snitch and held it high above his head. Red and gold supporters crowded down tot he feild waiting to carry their team to the common room. Emma-Leigh was happily shouting the score of the match.
"Yes that's right Gryffindor have won. Just in case any of you fell asleep and are wondering what happened in the game... a good sign of victory to the Gryffindors is that red, gold clad loud mass of people carrying their team to the great castle of Hogwarts, shouting things like Weasly is our king, or queen, and Potter is the chosen one he is the reason we won! and such, unfortunately I must leave you all to party until the wee hours of the morning until the next match, I'm Emma-Leigh Newman reporting from channel 1 news!" Emma-Leigh shoved her way to the Gryffindor common room. The cheers were still going as she made her way over to "her" group.
"Awesome game you guys!" She said looking at Harry, Ron, and Ginny.
"Your comments were pretty excellent, so funny, better then Lee's" Ron said.
"Oh my Emma-Leigh, it was awesome the way you shot down the Ravenclaws and then rambled on at the end... I'm sure you helped with the win, I'm so happy I could just kiss you right now." Harry said. Emma-Leigh blushed.
"What's stopping you?" Harry blushed more then Emma-Leigh and quickly changed the subject.
"Er... How'd you see the snitch?"
"I can answer that!" Michelle said, "Emmelz here happens to be the best seeker in the world." Emma-Leigh smiled.
"It's true." They all looked at her as if she was going to say something more but she stuffed half a cauldron cake in her mouth.
"Well we'll have to have a seeker match one day." Emma-Leigh nodded. the party continued on to, as Emma-Leigh rightly stated, the wee hours of the morning. Emma-Leigh looked around
"Hey did you guys realize we are always the last ones awake?"
"Wow" Ron said "just wow..."
"hahahhah we are night owls! hahahaha" Hermione said, she had a bit to much sugar. It was four o-clock in the morning.
"We should really go to bed earlier"
"Yah it would stop Ron from falling asleep in class." Matt added remembering back to the Transfiguration class where Ron had fallen asleep so they Transfigured him very randomly.
"That wasn't funny!" Ron said over the laughter of his friends. They laughed for quite sometime but decided it was best they go to sleep even though it was only Sunday the next day.
"Emmelz?" Harry called as she ran up the stairs.
"See you guys in a sec." she said to the Gryffindor girls. "Yah?"
"Er...um you may have noticed I'm a little shy... when it comes to girls and thats what was stopping me earlier." Harry pulled her close and kissed her. When he finally pulled away Emma-Leigh was quite breathless.
"You shouldn't be so shy." She smiled, turned, and ran up the stairs. Harry stood there for a second wondering what had just happend, he smiled, she didn't pull away, she definitely kissed back, and in a weird Emma-Leigh sort of way she had complimented him after.
