CHAPTER FIFTEEN

THE QUIDDITCH FINAL

Tonks took the book. "Chapter 15, the Quidditch Final"

"Poor Hagrid" Molly said.

333

"Oooh." The twins teased.

"Shut up" Ron said blushing.

333

"Boys" Ginny sighed.

333

"They need to completely redo the ministry" Sirius said.

Everyone agreed.

333

"That boy needs to learn to show some respect!" Molly said

333

They weren't the only ones.

333

"WE LOVE YOU!" the twins exclaimed as they embraced her.

"Can I have your autograph?" Ginny asked.

333

"Wait…boys?" Bill asked. "Wasn't Hermione with them?"

333

"She could have used it too." Harry added.

333

"You won't have any trouble" Sirius assured her.

333

"Someone's excited." Bill chuckled.

333

Both Hermione and McGonagall rolled their eyes.

333

"You'll never see anything with THAT attitude" Tonks teased.

333

As did the twins and the Marauders and the older three Weasley men (Arthur, Bill, and Charlie).

333

"Your lovable godfather?" Sirius offered.

333

Many jaws dropped at that.

"Hermione…dropping a class?" Fred asked

"Ron…I'm half expecting your apocalyptic prophesy to come true now" George added.

"You know what that means?" Ginny teased.

333

"Oh please" Hermione huffed.

"Probably just saw how by-the-book you are." Charlie mused. "With Divinations, you need to have vivid imaginations."

333

The twins looked at each other, walked over to Ron, and dragged him from between Hermione and Sirius and sat him between them.

"Don't worry Ronnikins." Fred said.

"We'll de-brainwash you" George said.

"My brothers the idiots" Ron muttered.

333

"So no pressure" Ron joked.

333

Charlie looked a bit smug at being referred to as 'legendary.'

333

"Classic" Bill laughed.

"Bill." Molly warned.

333

"We need to work on your priorities." Sirius told Harry.

333

"We would have waken you up" Fred said.

"That's even more worrysome." Harry told them.

333

"That makes no sense." Sirius said.

"It's a dream. It's not supposed to." Harry reminded him.

333

"What was Crookshanks doing out?" Hermione asked concerned.

333

"Because it's not an omen of death." Sirius said. "It's me."

"What was Crookshanks doing?" Hermione asked

"Just checking up on me." Sirius explained.

333

"He knew he didn't have a chance." George declared.

333

Sirius playfully punched Harry's arm. Harry responded by shoving back indicating he wasn't in the mood for being teased about his crush.

333

"Glad to hear that hasn't changed much." Sirius said.

333

"Yeah right" the Weasley boys and girl muttered.

333

"She has a point." Remus told Fred.

333

"Good luck with a dirty game." Bill said.

333

"Ouch" Charlie said with a wince.

333

"I wonder if there's a way for clean games only to be played at school" Sprout said.

"There is the threat that if a dirty game is played, those that made the illegal moves, that house would be banned from playing for the term. And should it be done on the final match, for the year." Dumbledore suggested.

"Sounds good." McGonagall said. "It would also teach the students good sportsmanship."

333

"Slytherin's in trouble." Sirius muttered.

333

"That's illegal!" Charlie exclaimed.

333

"Wow. Even got McGonagall mad" Sirius muttered to Remus.

333

"Good move Harry." Charlie praised.

333

"About time" Sirius said beaming proudly.

333

"Or something close" Remus said.

"Some of those stunts pulled. Even the WQA would blacklist the Slytherins." Charlie said.

"I expect, when the war is over, you to get a better handle on your snakes." Molly told Snape knowing full well why he let them get away with some of that stuff.

"I fully intend to" Snape said. He would be the last to admit it publically, but even he had been appalled by some of their behavior. And he cursed muggleborn first years while at school.

"I'll read next." Ginny offered.
