Chapter 8- Better Be Quick For Quidditch
The morning came faster than I expected and I realized today was the Quidditch match. We all sat down at the table and began eating until I realized Harry wasn't.
"Harry are you feeling okay?" I ask concerned.
"I'm fine."
"Your going to need the energy Harry." Hermione commented.
"I'm not hungry!" He snapped.
"Good luck today Potters'. Your going to need it since its against Slitherin." I turn around to see Snape but before I could comment he's walking away.
"That explains the blood." Harry randomly says.
"What?" Hermione asks with her face scrunched up.
"Last night I think Snape let out the troll to get past that three headed dog but was bitten that's why he's limping."
"Why would he go there in the first place?!" I ask.
"Remember the package Hagrid took? Maybe it's hidden in that trap door."
I shrug. "You never know."
It was silent for a couple minutes until there was a loud squaking. We all look to see our birds carrying what looks to be broom sticks. It falls down in front of us and I just stare while Harry opens it. Hermione helps me rip it open to reveal a broom stick called "Nimbus 2000". We just look at each other confused but nonetheless accept it. For the first match Harry was chosen to go first and I would go on the second game considering they only needed one seeker. I sat in the stand waiting for Harry to appear. My nerves were tight as I waited until I felt somebody tap me. I turn around and grin when I see Ron.
"Hello Ron." I say with a smile.
"Hello! Wow so Harry really is going to be the Seeker. I have to admit you would've done extremely well too." Ron said with a small smile.
I grin. "Thanks!"
Ron looks up at the sky and I do too and suddenly the gate opens and the Gryffindor team flies out. I cheer with the rest of the kids rooting for Gryffindor as they fly around. Harry looks at us and smiles. I give him a thumbs up and a salute and he laughs.
"What did you do?" Ron asks.
"It means good luck now get to work." I say with a laugh.
Rob mouths an 'O' and continues watching. The game goes by fairly quick and when I thought things were fine it got worse. I watch as Harry's broom begins to lurch back and forth trying to get him off. Hermione suddenly gasps.
"Look! Snape is doing a spell to Harry's broom!"
"What do we do?" Ron asks with wide eyes.
"Leave that to me." She says and runs off.
Fear was settling in my stomach when suddenly Harry's broom stopped and he was able to go after the golden snitch. Everything was going too fast but then Harry was flung off his broom and stood up looking like he was going to be sick. I stand up and watch as he pops out the golden snitch! Everybody erupts into cheer as he holds it up in triumph. I shake my head chuckling as I clap along. He just got here and already was making the most of it.
