Chapter 21
Disclaimer: Do not own Harry Potter!
Christmas holidays were over and the girls were back at Hogwarts eating delicious food in the great hall.
"Your party was awesome Nehal!" commented Danielle.
"Yeah!" added Heather. "It was totally steeped."
Nehal smiled. "Thanks, I totally agree. I just want to thank you guys for helping me organize it and stuff…"
"Oh no problem!" said Danielle.
Nehal smiled at Danielle but then turned her attention to the Ravenclaw table. She saw Riley and he was barely eating. "What's his problem?" She thought.
Heather said, "Danielle, are we gonna do our new cheer at the match today?"
Danielle replied, "Yeah I think we're ready for it."
Jackie said, "You know usually before a Quidditch match I would be super nervous, but now…I'm not!" She took a bite out of her toast.
"That because you're not playing!" said Nehal shrewdly.
"Exactly!" Jackie pointed her half-eaten toast at Nehal.
"But Jackie I thought you loved Quidditch?" asked Danielle
"I did, until I discovered the joy of being a spectator. I mean all you do is sit there. How cool is that?"
Nehal and Danielle glared at Jackie.
Nehal said, "One of these days I'm gonna find out what Colt said to you."
"Colt says a lot of things to me."
"Like what?" asked Heather.
"Like stuff…I don't know. We just talk. He really opens up to me."
Danielle raised her eyebrow. "Oh?"
"Eww! Not like that Danie!"
Danielle laughed.
Nehal said, "Do you realize that we're doomed without you! Harry is too busy drooling over Hagrid to notice the friggin' snitch!" (LOL! Gotta love Harry and Hagrid)
"Hey!" said Harry. "I heard that."
"Good!"
Jackie said, "Well I'm sure you'll do fine with or without me."
"Yeah whatever bitch." Nehal then walked away with the Quidditch team behind her.
Jackie's jaw dropped. "Did you see that? She just called me a bitch!"
Heather and Danielle pretended not to hear Jackie's complaints.
"It's not funny! I can't believe this! This is so stupid, so…so…ugh!" Jackie ran her fingers through her ponytail in frustration.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Good afternoon everyone!" greeted Fiona. "Today's match is Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw. Both teams have been doing very well this season. So this match will be quite interesting to watch."
Nehal and Riley went to go shake hands.
Nehal said, "You're going down mother fucker!"
"Bite me!" replied Riley.
Nehal scoffed. "Is that best you can do?"
Madame Hooch blew the whistle and the Quaffle was released.
Nehal caught it and flew past the beaters. She then passed it to Daryl who scored.
"Yay team!" said Danielle and Heather cheering madly.
Jackie sat in the stands beside Ron cheering for Gryffindor.
Riley then caught the Quaffle. "Yes!" He exclaimed. He aimed it threw the left hoop but it missed.
"Ha ha sucker!" muttered Jackie.
The Gryffindor cheerleaders starting singing
(8) Be aggressive! Be, be aggressive! Be a-g-g-re-ss-ive, be aggressive! Be, be aggressive! (8) (Does anyone know that cheer?)
Fiona said, "The score is now 50-30 in favor of Ravenclaw."
"Come on team!" yelled Nehal.
BAM! Ravenclaw scored again making it 60-30.
Jackie said, "Omg this sucks."
"Tell me about it." agreed Ron. "Harry isn't even focusing on the game. He's blowing kisses to Hagrid."
Jackie rolled her eyes. "Harry needs to focus on the game. Not on his love life. Not matter how much they love each other. There will be other times for that."
"Turkey scores again for Ravenclaw!" announced Fiona. "The score is 70-30."
Nehal yelled to Harry. "Keep looking for the snitch! We still have a chance! Don't worry!"
Harry only nodded his head, not really listening.
"Go, go Gryffindor! Go, go Gryffindor!" chanted the Gryffindor cheerleaders.
Nehal shot the Quaffle but missed. "Damn it."
"Ouch." muttered Jackie. "Sucks when that happens."
"Ravenclaw is doing such an awesome job!" commented Fiona. "Gryffindor may lose their title this season as undefeated."
"We were undefeated?" Jackie said timidly.
"Yeah where have you been?" asked Ron.
"Playing in the match!" Jackie said this as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well your assistant captain, you should know."
"You mean was assistant captain. F.Y.I. Daryl is assistant captain now."
"Oh. I had no idea."
"Well now you do!"
"Still you should know." muttered Ron.
Just then the Ravenclaw seeker spotted the snitch. She dove and raced to get it.
"Harry got get the snitch and win us the game!" yelled Jamie.
Harry then came out of his daze. "Okay!"
Ron looked at Jackie. "So do you think Harry's gonna catch the snitch?"
Jackie pondered for a minute. "Not a chance. Ravenclaw seeker is faster. She could take out Harry any day!"
"Oh…that can't be good."
"But there's still hope!"
"Yeah only fools' hope though." (LOTR)
Jackie smiled at Ron.
Fiona said, "Oh and it looks like Ravenclaw has caught the snitch!"
Madame Hooch blew the whistle and all the Ravenclaw students cheered joyously.
The Gryffindors flew back down to the ground ashamed.
"Bummer." said Ron
"Yeah." answered Jackie. "Total bummer."
Danielle put her hands on her hips. "So much for our new cheer!"
Heather shrugged her shoulders. "We did it right though."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
That night Jackie decided to talk to Nehal and clear the air with her. (I'm not sure if that's the right way to use that expression)
The portrait said, "Password?"
Jackie gulped. "Um…it has something to do with Hogwarts right?"
Just then Jamie opened the portrait door.
"Jamie!" exclaimed Jackie.
"No the password isn't Jamie you ding-dong head!" said the portrait
Jamie said, "I heard your voice, so I knew you were gonna come in…"
"Well then…"
Jamie stood blocking the doorway.
"Can I come in?" asked Jackie
"Not until you answer these three questions."
"Jamie come on! I just want to talk to Nehal!" Jackie tried to get past Jamie but due to his height she couldn't.
"What is your name?"
"Jackie!"
"What is your favorite color?"
"That's easy, pink! Now let me through."
"What is the capital of Libya?"
"Uh…um…"
"Do you know it?" Jamie smirked.
"Of course I know it. Gosh Jamie who wouldn't know the answer?"
"Then what is it?"
"It's um…it's…"
Jamie looked at his watch.
"Okay, okay I don't know the answer! But please let me in! I'm not an intruder! Please!"
Jamie sighed. "Fine you can go in."
"Thank you!"
Jackie walked up the stairs to Nehal's bed to find her reading. "Hey Neh Neh. Cool room you got here!"
"Yeah, thanks." Nehal said without looking up.
"It's like a palace!"
"Yeah palace."
"So um…you played a good game today! Good effort! Good shots!" Jackie gave Nehal thumbs up.
"What are you talking about? They creamed us! Face it we suck!"
"You don't suck!"
"Oh right…Harry sucks!"
"He's trying his best Nehal."
"Well his best isn't good enough!" Nehal walked over to her desk.
"Okay that was harsh."
"The truth hurts Jaxs."
"Yeah, well you can't handle the truth!"
Nehal rolled her eyes. "Listen about calling you a bitch earlier, I didn't mean it. I was just pissed."
"Yeah pissed at me." Jackie sat down on Nehal's bed.
There was silence.
Nehal looked at Jackie. "Are you sure you don't have a thing for Colt?"
"No we're just friends. Draco is the guy that I have a thing for. So hot, want to touch the hiny!" (Billy Madison! I love that movie!)
"Eww!" exclaimed Nehal. "Anyways, what I'm trying to say is…we miss you on the team."
Jackie sort of wished she could be on the team, it was lots of fun. But she couldn't disobey Colt. Besides friends are more important then Quidditch.
"Come on Jackie! This is our last year here at Hogwarts! You may never have a chance to play Quidditch again unless you're planning on being a Quidditch player…which your not…"
Jackie was about to say something but Nehal interrupted her.
"Don't you miss all the excitement of flying and everyone cheering for you?"
"Yeah, of courseness."
"What?"
"Of courseness." Jackie said as she walked over to the mirror and applied her lip gloss.
"So…I've been thinking about Malfoy lately."
Jackie raised an eyebrow. "You have?"
"Not in that way. Trust me. But…I don't know I think he's acting kind of weird. He keeps on touching his lower arm in potions. Haven't you ever noticed that?"
"Well a couple of times yeah." Jackie turned to face Nehal. "Maybe he is just allergic to some potions or something."
"Just be careful with him okay?"
"Okay…"
Nehal smiled. "So want to see the new book I'm reading?"
"Sure!"
"Awesome! Okay get this…it's about…" Nehal started explaining to Jackie about her new fantasy novel that she was reading.
