Chapter 9
One nations and a Hufflepuff
Caras POV
"Tee hee wohoo, I love being a witch, life is wonderful", I shouted as I RAN into the Gryffindor common room. Yes I said RAN! Tee hee whoop de doop yah hoo! "Ooh what a beautiful morning, ooh what a beautiful day... Everythings going my way!" ha! So happy, loop de loop wah wah wah yeh hurrah! Ok breath breath, no ha ha mwah ha ha, love witchism! It's a good thing! cackle cackle. AT this moment in time I'm running around the common room, jumping up and down on and to and fro all the cosy armchairs, I pounced on Oliver, and Tom and strangled Fred, who just laughed and looked shocked at the same time! Percy came down from the boys dormitory,
"What the hell is going on down here, some of us have work to do around here!" I couldn't fight the happiness, I ran up and hugged him!
"Glad you came down to help me celebrate!" I squeeled into his ear!
"Huh!" He looked utterly overwhelmed, I got bored with him and grabbed Fred and Oliver, the two people closest to me, and dragged them out of the common room towards the pitch.
Narrators POV
Back in the common room everyone was still silent until the George started cheering,
"Her knee is fixed!" and ran out the door after her. Most people started laughing and joined the chase to the quidditch pitch, the rest sat there trying to comprehend the madness, thinking themselves sane in a world insane, little did they know it was the other way around! Cara led the sprint through the castle, jumping stairs and banisters, giggling and shouting. She was too quick for Filch and Snape could only watch as she 'road runnered' her way past him. She met Dumbledore on their way to the pitch and much to the surprise of the flock behind her she trapped him in a big bear hug!
"Thank you Sir, Thank you!"
"I trust you will give your knee sufficient rest before quidditch practice starts up." he said gently, his eyes twinkling with delight.
"Sorry sir but it has taken on a mind of its own, I don't know if I could restrain if, say it wanted to run and fly and somersault all over the quidditch pitch!"
"Perhaps you would not be to blame if it did run a little wild, and perhaps it needs a bit of excercise. It is quite unlike it to stay still for as long as it has been and I doubt it has much patience either Ms. Jameson, don't let me interrup you and, what seems the entire Gryffindor house!"
With that Cara turned around and started to laugh uncontrollably as she just realised there were 60 odd people behind her! 'What the heck' she thought, 'always brilliant when we all get together out of madness!' So she turned and sprinted, skipped, flipped and kicked her ankles in the air all the way to the pitch.
Caras POV
Sommersaulting all my excitement out got a little monotonous after a while so I had a brilliant idea, rugby! I squeeled and ran into the dressing rooms and got a quaffle, it'll do! I went out to my fellow housemates and just said "Rugby". Any muggle-borns that were present started cheering, the rest looked confused. I decided it was better that way, more fun!
"Ok every second person stand to my right!" I borrowed some lipstick off a seventh year and put two red strokes on each cheek of one team.
"The aim is to get the quaffle over the end line and touch it down for 5 points or kick it in between the poles for 3 points. You can tackle a member of the opposite team from the waist down only, you can only pass to a player behind you as long as they aren't ahead of you, it's ok. I'll leave it at that, the rest is too complicated for your wee brains!" I said cheekily as I stuck my tongue out at them.
"Ok my team with the stripes were going thataway!" I shouted as I had already took off down the pitch with the ball! When they figured what I was doing thay took off after me! Kinda scary having around sixty people running after me I couldn't stop now if I wanted or I'd be trampled like train tacks! I kept going and dived over the line.
"Try, Try, Try" I shouted as Ijumped up and down.
"Cheater!" Peter teased me, ha he's just jealous he didn't think of it first!
Oh forgot to explain the conversion kick!
"Ok so when a team gets a try, they get a free kick for 3 points!" I said matter of factly as I positioned myself for the shot.
"What, you are going to kick that ball, off the ground, through those poles?"
"Yes that's exactly what I am going to do Mr.Wood !"
"No magic?"
"Nope," I shouted as I ran towards the ball Wilkinson style, wow wow wow wow wow wow, it just went through the centre hoops, I knew it would be easier as the poles were further apart but Merlin that was fluky!
"Full of surprises that one!" Wood muttered with his impressed look on his face! (Like in hp1 when harry hit the bludger away!) The game started up again, I was having such a brilliant time! Noone could get a chance to score a try with sixty people on the pitch! I think everyone was just enjoying the tackling of members of the opposite sex! The funny thing was, all the 'jocks' could barely kick the ball, Oliver sent one into touch by complete accident, he was quite embarrased until Shane congratulated him on the great kick which automatically moved their team closer to the line, ha he was aiming for the poles! Oh I see a tackle, no Mr.Diggory, you won't get away that easy, rarrrrrrrrrrrrr, I lunged myself at him and caught him around the waist perfectly. Nicky then intercepted the ball and we had posession once again.
"That stopped ya beeatch!" I said to Cedric in a cheesy Texas accent! I make myself happy inside! I have a heart, sometimes, so I helped him up.
"You are wired today, ya know that!" He said as he laughed at me!
"Yip yip like a transistor radio!" funny stuff tee hee.
"Nice tackle!"
"I know!" that made me laugh harder I'm so devilishly cocky today!
"Sorry it's the lack of a crutch, I've had a rush of blood to the head! Hey wait a minute your no Gryffindor, what you doing here?"
" I saw a crowd of animals running wild through the castle so I stopped and peered at then then my dear cousin shouted an invitation at me so I became a Gryffindor animal for an evening!"
"Go Peter go!" I shouted as I ran to catch up with the team and Peter Bones who just made a run through a few first years! Ouch the twins just came at him from the side, nice tackle though! The match went on like that until the sun was almost set and we had stopped keeping track of scores, well everyone except Percy, glad he's on my team though, he claims we won!
We all laughed as we headed up to dinner, our hair tossed and clothes dirty with big Colgate smiles on our faces! When we arrived in the Great Hall every table was full except the Gryffindor one, and one place at the Hufflepuff table!
Everyone was wondering where we were and were so puzzled and jealous when they saw us all arrive and take our places whilst laughing and joking, they were more confused when they saw Cedric leave my side and sit at his table as if it wasn't an unusual sight!
The Gryffindor table must have been refilled with food a few times, we were all stuffed by the end of dinner, when we were among the few tables with people actually left at them. We all gradually made our way to the Gryffindor tower holding our stomaches. I lazed about on the sofa feeling all fat, but happy I could move my knee finally. Oh I was so excited I never explained how that happened! Madame Hooch asked Professor Dumbledore if there was any means of fixing my knee magically, so he asked Madame Pomfrey and they found a potion that would speed up the healing and make my knee normal again, and hey presto, it worked like a charm! Really should make my way to bed, I have classes tomorrow!
I headed towards the stairs, where I got excited that I could climb up them that I ran up and down twice before heading straight to bed where I fell asleep immediately and dreamed of Percy in a real rugby match. He was hetting beaten up, so Cedric stopped to help him, then Oliver scored a try by kicking the pink rabbit teddy through a ring of candyfloss! It was to be a night of wacky dreams tonight!
AN: Wow that was fun to write, please review.
