Chapter Thirteen- Gryffindor Versus Ravenclaw

Ron and Hermione weren't speaking to each other, and to make matter worse for the golden quintet they couldn't bare to be in the same room with each other. Alice and Jasper were trying to help their friends, but they couldn't. She decided to put her focus on her schoolwork as well as her Quidditch practices. Jasper would wait for her every evening after Quidditch practice, so they would have sometime to talk alone. What they talked about was very top secret, so they didn't and couldn't tell anyone what the subject was.

The day of the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw match arrived. Of course, Alice was nervous about playing like she always was. Jasper was able to calm her down without using his gift. Instead he used words of encouragement, but he'll be ready to use his gift if he need to. The Gryffindor team headed down to the locker rooms. Alice, Alicia, Angelina, and Katie all changed into to their Quidditch robes. Alice put her wand under her shirt under her Quidditch robes just in case the dementors came to the game again.

The captains shook hands and the game began. Lee Jordan did the commentary for the Quidditch match like he does every match. The Ravenclaw team consisted of Jeff Davis the Keeper, Mike Newton and Erik Yorkie as the beaters, Rosalie Hale, Cho Chang, and Caleb Sanders are the chasers, and Tyler Crowley as the Seeker. Lee Jordan kept on advertising Alice's Firebolt instead of commentating the match. Professor McGonagall kept on telling him off.

Alice tried to keep her mind on the match, but her thoughts kept on going on her relationship with Jasper. She put her mind back onto the match when she spotted the snitch by one of the goal posts on the pitch. She flew towards the Ravenclaw middle goal post. Tyler Crowley was right behind her. "Gryffindor scores. Gryffindor leads 50 to 0."

Ten minutes later Gryffindor scored four more times. Suddenly three hooded creatures arrived on the pitch. Alice panicked a little, so she whipped out her wand and said, "Expecto patronum." An almost corporal silver animal burst out of her wand just as her hand clasped around the golden snitch.

Professor McGonagall marched onto the pitch with a very angry expression on her face. "How dare you try to sabotage the Gryffindor Seeker! Detention for all of you and fifty points each from Slytherin." Draco Malfoy, Marcus Flint, and Theodore Nott all walked off the field in silence.

"Very good flying, Alice. Very good patronus, but there wasn't any dementors. You surprised everyone today."

"They weren't dementors then what were they?"

"Three Slytherins who tried to sabotage you."

"Out of curiosity what was your happy memory this time?"

"Getting to know you, Professor was my happy memory." She knew that she couldn't say his real name in front of almost the whole school.

"I'm flatter that I would be in a happy memory of yours, Alice."

Fred and George came up to Alice and smiled happily. "Party Gryffindor common room soon."

"Fred, I'll be there as soon as I can."

Jasper came running onto the pitch with a big smile on his face. "You did it, Ali. I am very proud of you. By the way why did you have your thoughts on me half the match?"

"I guess that it's hard not to think about you. Jazz, when do we tell our friends that we are soul mates?"

"Whenever you feel ready, Ali."

Alice and Jasper headed back to Gryffindor tower together. Sure enough when they climbed through the portrait hole they saw a whole bunch of food on tables in the common room. Pitchers of pumpkin juice were on the edge of each table. The whole of Gryffindor house were packed in the common room. "Wow, Jazz."

The party went the rest of the day and well into the night. Professor McGonagall had come into the common room at one o'clock in the morning to tell them all to go to bed. Everybody reluctantly left the common room to head to his or her dorms. Alice and Jasper were the last ones to leave the common room. They said goodnight to each other at the bottom of the staircase.

A few hours later around four o'clock in the morning almost the entire house was woken by Ron's screams. Percy Weasley tried to get everyone to calm down especially Ron. Professor McGonagall was back this time angrier than ever. "What are you all doing up again?"

"Professor, I woke up and Sirius Black was standing over me with a knife," Ron replied.

"What do you mean Mr. Weasley? How would Sirius Black have gotten in?"

"Ask him, Professor." This time Alice replied.

"Sir. Cadogan, did you just let a men enter Gryffindor tower?"

"Certainly good lady."

"What about the passwords?" Professor McGonagall asked again.

"He had the whole weeks, My Lady."

Professor McGonagall turned back to face her house. Her face didn't look worried anymore, but angry. "Which foolish person wrote down this weeks passwords, and then left them lying around?"

Neville Longbottom timidly raised his hand into the air. "I'm sorry, Professor, but as you know I have trouble remembering any type of password."

"Professor McGonagall sighed, "Is it always going to be you, Mr. Longbottom?"

"I'm afraid so, Professor."

Once again the castle had to be searched for any sign of Sirius Black. However, Alice knew that he wouldn't be found anywhere inside the castle. None of the Gryffindors got any sleep the rest of the morning. At seven o'clock in the morning Professor McGonagall came back to tell them that Sirius Black had escaped again. She kept her house in the common room for breakfast. Aria Meyers asked, "Professor, is there anyway that Sirius Black could be innocent of the crimes that he was accused of twelve years ago?"

"I have never thought of that, Ms. Meyers. Do you think that he was wrongly accused?" Aria nodded her head in response.

Please Review. What do you think? Draco Malfoy once again got into trouble. Looks like Alice and Jasper aren't the only ones who think that Sirius Black is innocent. Do you think that truth will come out anytime soon? What do you think Aria knows that everybody else doesn't? Put your answers in the box below.

My other story Taken but Protect is coming soon. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about it. I am just busy with school right now. I am almost done with the third chapter, so hang in there.

What do you think of a Hogwarts Reads Harry Potter story? Let me know if you like the idea, or even if you don't like it. I would like to know if I should begin writing it or not.
