CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Practice the day went with out a hitch, along with the next day and the day after that. It was Wednesday; the house teams only day off, but Harry and Emma-Leigh along with Ron Hermione and Ginny were on the Quidditch pitch anyways. They were just lazily flying around when Draco joined them.
"I saw you guys out here and I got rid of the goons by saying I needed the practice." Draco ad just got up in the air when Thomas and Dawn both showed up, booms over their shoulders, standing very close to each other.
"Well," Harry said, "if Candice and Dave show up we'll have the whole team." Ten minutes after he said that, they showed up.
"How come we weren't invited to the practice?" Candice asked.
"Um…" Harry said
"This isn't a practice, it was accidental" Emma-Leigh explained.
"Well?" Dave said looking at everyone. "Let's practice anyways." The Hogwarts team went to one side. Ginny and Ron went and got Cho Chang, Denis Creevey, Tyler Johnson, and Alicia Spinnit, and started a mini game. The Hogwarts team came out a head.
"Thank god we didn't play like we did on Monday." Harry said, "We will win against Beaxbatons for sure!"
It was Saturday, 8am, and for once the team weren't nervous, mostly because they were in denial. The school was spotless for Beaxbatons, and Hermione was huffing about all the extra work the houselves put into it.
"If you want to save the houselves work, YOU CLEAN." Ron said irritated. Hermione shot him a look and opened her mouth to say something.
"There will be no fighting today." Emma-Leigh said curtly, sensing that they both were about to explode. The joy of Hermione and Ron dating was the fact that there had been less fighting between them. After they forced down some food Harry and Emma-Leigh met p with Draco, Candice, Dawn, Thomas and Dave and walked down to the changing room before the Beaxbatons people showed up. As they changed into they purple robes if finally settled in that they were about to play Quidditch.
"Alright… well, this is it, the big one, the one we've all been waiting for…" Harry began.
"Isn't that Wood's speech?" Dawn asked.
"Yes, but it always worked for us, how did you know?"
"I dated Oliver during the Quidditch season back in his fourth year. I know that speech just as well as his team did." Dawn replied.
"Allriiight," Harry said "Let's get out there and show those Beaxbatons people how to play Quidditch!" the team cheered as they went to the pitch. The stand erupted with noise as the home team flew onto the pitch.
"AND THE HOGWARTS TEAM IS FLYING OVER THE STANDS! WE'VE GOT ROUNDS, SCOTT, NEWMAN, CHEZIKLE, LAYNE, MALFOY ANNND POTTER! Aka TAFFY, TJ, EMMELZ, Sunrize, LOLLIPOP, THE PRINCE AND BWL!" Lee yelled into his magical megaphone. "And of course the lovely Beaxbatons team, CARTIER, LACORDIER, GAETZ, JANSTONE, DELECOUR, DELECOUR, ANNND STAR!" the Beaxbatons team flew around the stands. Harry immediately recognized Fleur and her sister Gabrielle. 'Well I guess she was older then she looked under that water' Harry thought. Fleur flew over to Harry.
"'Arry 'ow are 'ou?" she asked kissing him on the cheek.
"I'm great!" he replied. 'She really is gorgeous, it's that Veela in her' he thought.
"I trust 'ou remember my dear sister, Gabrielle?" Gabrielle also kissed him on the cheek. A whistle from somewhere blew and Harry remembered that they were playing Quidditch and he sped off to take his place. Fleur took her place in front of the golden hoops. The Bludgers and the snitch were released and the Quaffle was thrown into the air.
"AND THE GAME BEGINGS!" Lee shouted. "Emmelz gests the Quaffle right away and goes flying down the pitch towards the goals." Emma-Leigh flew down the pitch at a terrific speed. Fleur was staring at her with determination; she dived towards the left hoop. Emma-Leigh hesitated before throwing the Quaffle through the middle hoop, where Fleur had been just seconds before. The Hogwarts students in the surrounding stands screamed.
"TEN POINTS TO HOGWARTS… in the first THIRTY SECONDS! WAY TO GO EMMELZ!" Lee screamed. Fleur looked pissed as she passed the Quaffle to Charlene Gaetz. Emma-Leigh flipped her hair and flashed her a smile as she flew off to follow the Quaffle. "WOAH! If looks could kill, Emmelz, you'd be dead! Delecour… Jr tears down the pitch, passes to Janstone, who passes back to Delecour… oh! Intercepted by Lollipop aha GO HOGW…. Gah!" Professor McGonagall hit him in the back of the head.
The game continued, 40 minutes later Hogwarts was leading by 140 points. The Hogwarts students were louder then they ever have been before. Of course when Larissa Star dived they became silent. If Larissa got the snitch it would be all over. Both Dave and Thomas whacked the Bludgers towards her but she dodged them easily. She was the perfect build for a Seeker. Small. Lightweight. Perfect. Harry was catching up but still far behind.
"Come on, Come on!" he shouted at his broom.
"Star is still following that golden ball." Hogwarts started to yell, but instead of Harry's name they were shouting Emma-Leigh's.
"HOLY SH--! Sorry Professor. Lollipop has got the Quaffle and Fleur is to busy watching Star. Candice shoots… and … and SHE SCORES!" Candice scored a goal just as Larissa's little fingers grasped the Snitch. Both schools screamed it was a tie. Madam Hooch and Madam Float flew to the middle of the pitch.
"Sornus" the ref's voices were magnified. "Okay to break the tie, we will have a shoot out." Madam Float translated for the Beaxbatons students. All the Chasers and the Keepers flew over to the Beaxbatons goals. The first person to go up was Charlene Gaetz, she missed. Then Dawn took her shot and was blocked by Fleur. Gabrielle, who was next, made her shot. Hogwarts waited with baited breath. If Candice missed this, Hogwarts would lose. If Candice was worried before it was ten times worse now. She took her shot.. and luckily got it in. There was a collective breath from Hogwarts. Up next was Carrie Janstone, whose shot was blocked by Draco. And it was Emma-Leigh's turn. Even with all the noise that Hogwarts was making she could hear Hermione and Ron the most. Emma-Leigh looked at Fleur right in the eyes and flicked her hair out of her face. Emma-Leigh grabbed the Quaffle and flew around a bit then threw the Quaffle with all her might.
"HOGWARTS WIN" Lee screamed. There was a loud groan from the Beaxbatons but it wasn't heard above the uproar from Hogwarts. Still in the air the team had toppled on top of Emma-Leigh. The students poured onto the pitch waiting for their team to fly down to the pitch. When they finally did get down they were immediately trampled by the whole school. Fleur flew down to Harry's side.
"'At was amazing! 'Ello Ron, 'Ow are 'ou?" Ron had gone slack. Hermione glared between Ron and Fleur. Emma-Leigh noticed Harry and Fleur talking and decided not to interrupt the little love fest. She walked back up to the school with Dawn and Thomas, but the new couple soon started to get on her nerves. She left the after party early.
Meanwhile
"Where is Emma-Leigh?" Hermione asked. Ron looked around as Harry replied with an 'I dunno' and he continued to talk to Fleur, who, with Dumbledore's permission, stayed for the after party. Ron had gone back to looking at Fleur; he still wasn't able to talk to him though.
"Oh My God Ron!" Hermione said which seemed to snap him out of his trance. "You too Harry, maybe you two should pay more attention to your girlfriends and not … her." She spat. "Harry you may not have realized it but you haven't seen your girlfriend since before the game. You also seemed to miss the way she looked at you after Fleur and her sister kissed you. BOYS!" she huffed as she walked away. Ron and Harry stood aghast.
"'Arry? 'Arry? 'ou have a girlfriend?" Fleur asked.
"Yah… Emma-Leigh.. uh.. Emmelz." Harry was scanning the room looking for her familiar blonde head.
"Oh! D'at must be why she looked at me like dat after ze first goal. 'Ou must go an' find her. 'Ou too Ron. ' 'Ou should find 'Ermione. Good bye, I will see you again" Instead of kissing htem again she held out her hand. the shook it and split up. Ron to find Hermione and Harry to find Emma-Leigh.
