Chapter 74: You May Want…..
"You better catch the snitch before the game really takes off!" Phoenix told Harry low enough for only he could hear. All Harry could do was nod slightly as he watched her stomping out of the tent.
"Ugh!" she yelled when she got far enough from both tents. Not thinking, Phoenix released her still clenched hands, making the dirt in front of her explode. "I know this is childish of me! But the reason is ticking me off! I need to play!" she said out loud to herself again, making the ground in front of her explode for the second time.
"Miss Matthews," a voice said.
Phoenix stopped, shocked at who was standing behind her. She looked at the ground, hoping he saw nothing. "Yes, Professor Snape?" She responded, turning to look at him.
"You may want…." He trailed off, looking at the ground and bits of dirt all around her. He looked back up, turned around, and left.
'What was that all about? Did he see what I did?' Phoenix thought, realizing what he was looking at. He was glancing at the disturbed dirt when she turned to look at him, as well as when he was trying to tell her something. 'Was he trying to tell me to be more careful? Does he know about my powers?' Phoenix pondered.
It would make since that the teachers of Hogwarts would know about her… or would it? At least her head of house and headmaster, or would it? She shook her head, clearing her thoughts 'No they chose me because I had the magical abilities to be at Hogwarts, not because of who I am. I am a witch in their eyes, not a wiccan.'
She heard a whistle announcing the start of the match. "I'll leave it be. There is no reason to think like that." Phoenix said out loud. "I should support my team. I need to be more careful in the meantime in case Snape saw or someone catches me." She let out a breath, heading off to the stands hoping to find Ron and Hermione somewhere, but not before turning around. She felt like she was being watched.
When she finally left, a figure in black turned away from the quidditch pitch and headed towards the forest.
