Chapter 7: Quidditch

We were shocked beyond belief. We were the new chaser and seeker. Well, Harry was the seeker and I was the chaser. Katie Bell, the previous chaser had moved to Dumstrang. We then ran to tell the others. First it was Ron, Fred, and George.

"Well done, you guys. Wood just told us" Fred said coming up behind me, Harry, and Ron with George.

"Fred and George are on the team, too. Beaters" Ron announced. Me and Harry shrugged.

"Our job is to make sure you don't get bloodied up too bad. Can't make any promises, though. Rough game, Quidditch" George told us. We sighed. Great, we could be in the hospital wing unconscious.

"Brutal, but no one died in years. Someone will vanish occasionally, but they always turn up in a month or two" Fred called after us. We were shown a showcase with an award our dad won when he was school.

"Dad! DAD" I screamed. I ran into my parent's living quarters and right into my dad. My dad bent down and shook me. My mom came over to us too.

"Easy Haley, easy" my dad shouted at me. My mom looked at me concerned. I took a breath and started again. I had been shouting jumbled sentences at him.

"We made the team! The quidditch team. I'm chaser and Harry's seeker" I got out before I collapsed onto the sofa they had in the room. My dad was stunned.

"But……but you guys are in first year! You two are the youngest seeker and chaser to make the team in a…." my dad began. Me and Harry sighed. We'd already been told this.

"Century" we finished for him. My mom came over and gave us both a hug. She pulled back and looked at us.

"I think you two have someone to write to? Dudley hasn't heard from you two in a while" she said. Me and Harry looked at each other, we had a lot to tell our best friend forever, a.k.a. Dudley.

"We have to do it right this instant" we both said running off to our dorms. Mom smiled as we left, we were always told that we reminded her of her and Aunt Petunia when they were younger. We got Dudley's letter back the next day. He was really interested and told us we'd have to show him some magic when we got home. He also said his mom said hi.

"First quidditch match today" Harry said smiling at me. We were both excited and nervous. Well, not as much as our dad. He was biting his nails, almost literally. That morning, me and Harry received two Nimbus 2000 from Professor McGonagall. We met Oliver Wood and the other members at the Quidditch Pitch. We flew out and looked for our parents.

"Harry! Haley" Dudley's voice rang out. We looked over and saw him. We waved to him and Aunt Petunia. They waved back vigorously and Dudley whistled for us. Me and Harry laughed.

"Now I want a nice clean game from all of you" Madam Hooch yelled as she looked at us. The game started and it was Gryffindor in the lead. Suddenly, it got bad.

"Get that side" a Slytherin yelled. I knew what was coming, Draco had told me what to expect. I threw the Quaffle to Angelina.

"Speed it up! The Slytherins" I yelled. She looked back and saw what I was talking about. I was in between the two Slytherin Chasers and she sped up. By the time they realized that I didn't have it, Angelina was already near the three poles. She threw it in and scored a goal. It was tied 20-20 because we had missed a shot earlier.

"Lucky shot" a Slytherin growled. Suddenly, Harry saw the snitch and went for it. I kept trying to get the Quaffle until my broom started to shake. I glanced over at Harry and saw he was having the same trouble.

"Merlin, will you look at that" someone gasped. I was almost hanging over the Gryffindor teacher's stands. Everyone gasped as they saw Harry having the same trouble. If I fell off the right way, I could kill myself. The twins were trying to save Harry.

"HALEY!!! WILL ONE OF YOU PLEASE GO HELP HER!!! I DON'T CARE WHICH ONE, JUST GO HELP HER" Harry's angry voice yelled from the middle of the pitch. Me and Harry always had our mother's temper, which could be really dangerous if we put our mind to it. Fred came flying over.

"Come on Haley! Jump over to my broom" he shouted. He was almost six feet away and there was no way I was jumping that far.

"Are you kidding me!?! Like I can jump six feet" I yelled to him. One of my hands slipped like Harry. My parents, Dudley, and Aunt Petunia gasped. My dad looked over and saw Snape muttering a curse.

"SNIVELLUS" he barked. He stood up and pushed Snape. My mom growled and stood up. She tried to get my dad to stop attacking Snape. None of the other teachers saw because they were too busy watching us. Sirius came over and helped, while Remus and my mom tried to stop them.

"Stop guys! Stop" Remus yelled. I would've laughed at the sight if I hadn't been too worried about falling off my broom. My broom had stopped shaking and I climbed back on. Harry did the same and we both had a plan just in case something like this happened. We whispered into the twins' ears and they listened in amusement.

"Got it" they said and raced off. We had made a deal with them. They could meet three out of the four marauders if they could just help us a bit. Harry went for the snitch and I went for the Quaffle. Cheers sounded around the stadium and even Draco cheered.

"Go Harry! Go Haley" Dudley shouted making the marauders and Snape look up. Even my mom looked up and they all sat down to watch. The twins' were knocking the bludgers full force at the Slytherins.

"Harry Potter goes for the Snitch" Lee Jordan called. I forgot about the Quaffle because Angelina had it and was doing good on her own. Harry stepped forwards on his broom after pulling up right near the ground. Harry fell forwards and hit the ground. I raced down to him.

"Oh my gosh" Lee Jordan gasped. Everyone looked scared and I just calmly got off my broom on the ground. I knew what had happened. I went over to him as he was hacking and hit him on the back a couple of times.

"Come on bro, spit it out" I said as I hit him. I hit him again and again. It still hadn't come out and I hit him harder. Everyone was standing up. The whole quidditch stadium was watching and forgot about the game. Nobody scored anyway.

"Harry Potter had swallowed the snitch! Gryffindor wins" Lee Jordan announced. Draco, all the teachers, and Gryffindor cheered. Well, all the teachers except for Snape. I shook my head and headed for the changing rooms. Harry ran up to me and threw an arm around my shoulder.

"Thanks sis" he said. I smiled. Later, we introduced the twins to the three marauders. My mom took me aside.

"Were the two of you doing that with your brooms or was that some one else" she asked me. I looked at her.
