Chapter Fifteen: Gryffindor versus Slytherin

At seven in the morning, Harry woke up and shook Ron awake.

"Wha-what?" Ron asked sleepily.

"Get up, and get ready, once you're ready, wake up Liam." Harry answered.

Ron rolled out of bed and hit the floor and stood up, completely awake. He and Harry dressed in silence. Both of them went downstairs into the fifth years dormitory. They woke up Liam who was excited and energetic. Liam dressed into his robes like lightning. The three boys went downstairs into the common room as the girls came out and were ready also.

"Alright, everyone's here, let's go eat." Akira said patting her stomach.

They shrugged and went out of the portrait hole and into the Great Hall. They took their seats at the Gryffindor table. The Slytherin team was looking smug at their table and scowled at the Gryffindors.

"Ignore them." Harry said as he started on his toast.

Everyone started eating and the rest of the school filed in to eat breakfast. After about half an hour, Harry and the team rose from their seats and went outside to the Quidditch pitch as the Slytherins followed them. The seven Gryffindors walked even faster to the locker room and reached it just before the Slytherins did. They changed into their Quidditch robes in silence. They heard the sound of dozens of feet and cheery voices outside. The school was arriving and taking seats in the stands. The team waited for the pre-match pep talk from Harry.

"Ok, everyone, do your best, and Ron, don't let a single goal in. Cho, Akira, Hermione, don't let Felton block your shots. Throw mean throws that can't be saved. Alexa, Liam, don't let those bludgers hit us. Now let's go play some Quidditch!" Harry said as the team cheered excitedly.

They stepped onto the snow-covered field as the Slytherins did also. Madam Hooch waited for both teams in the center of the field.

"Potter, Malfoy, shake hands." Madam Hooch said.

Harry and Malfoy grasped each others hand for a split second and released their grips.

"Mount your brooms. And on my count…"

The seventeen players mounted their brooms.

"Three…two…one!"

They rose into the winter air. And Lee Jordan was commentating once again.

"Cho Chang takes possession of the quaffle and speeds to the Slytherin goal posts. Can she get past Felton? OOH! Goyle sends a bludger at Chang, who drops the quaffle. Slytherin in possession. Rosiak has the quaffle tries to score, nice save by Weasley! Weasley passes to Akira Chang who passes to Hermione Granger who passes to Cho Chang…"

Harry wanted to catch the snitch quickly. He scanned the field for a glint of gold, hanging onto every word of Lee's commentary.

"CHO CHANG SCORES! 10-0 Gryffindor!"

The team applauded Cho. The Slytherins scowled at her. Crabbe hit a bludger at Cho and she dodged it. Hermione now had the quaffle and was passing it back and forth to Akira. Hermione had reached the scoring area, took a shot, and scored.

"20-0!"

Akira took the quaffle but Alyssia came from behind her and knocked it out of her arms. Liam hit a bludger at Alyssia who screamed and ducked. Hermione caught the quaffle and Akira gave Liam a thumbs-up.

"Granger in possession, passes to Cho Chang, Chang goes for it aaand SHE SCORES!!! 30-0!!!"

"KNOCK HER OFF HER BROOM YOU GREAT OAFS!!!" Malfoy roared at Crabbe and Goyle.

Crabbe and Goyle nodded in understanding and then hit both bludgers at Cho. Cho had her back turned and didn't see them coming.

"CHO LOOK OUT!!!" Akira and Hermione shrieked.

The first bludger painfully grazed her back. She looked over her shoulder, saw the other one coming, and pulled up just as the bludger flew into the spot where she just was.

"Chang is hit with a bludger…ooh…that's going to hurt later!"

Hermione had the quaffle and scored again making the score 40-0. Alyssia scored and now the Gryffindors were in the lead by thirty points. Akira had the quaffle and scored, giving the team the forty-point lead they had seconds earlier. The Slytherins were starting to play dirty.

"GET THE MUDBLOOD!" Malfoy shouted at his beaters.

Crabbe hit a bludger at Hermione. It collided with her arm.

"Slytherin beater Crabbe hits Gryffindor chaser Hermione Granger with a bludger to the arm. Ouch! Only one chaser that isn't hurt yet! Oh dear, new chaser Tom Felton has the quaffle and scores. 50-20."

Akira passed the quaffle to Cho and she approached the goal and scored another goal. Malfoy flew by her, muttered an incantation, and hit Cho's right hand. Cho felt her hand and noticed that a few bones were missing. Slytherin had scored six goals, taking them into the lead.

"50-80, come on Gryffindor!!!" Lee shouted.

Slytherin scored two more goals giving them one hundred points, leading Gryffindor by fifty points. Hermione had the quaffle but the team was blocking her path to the goal posts.

"Let's get them!" Akira shouted to Cho.

Cho nodded and both sped through the Slytherins, leaving a clear shot to the middle hoop. She scored. Then out of nowhere, a bludger pelted her in the side and she fell off the broom and hit the ground with a loud thud. Ron was infuriated.

"One of the Slytherin beaters, can't tell which since they're both morons-"

"Jordan!" McGonagall snapped.

"Sorry Professor…anyway, they hit Hermione Granger and knock her off her broom. Madam Pomfrey is coming onto the field to check on her…back to the game, the two remaining Gryffindor chasers; the Chang sisters are playing this game fierce! They speed through the Slytherins and both sisters confuse the keeper and AKIRA CHANG SCORES!!! 70-100!!! Come on Gryffindor!!! You can beat them!"

Harry still hadn't spotted the snitch and was getting nervous. He had to get it soon or else the hope of winning would be lost. Then he thought of an idea. Malfoy was watching him from the corner of his eye…

"Potter dives! Has he seen the snitch? Malfoy follows in suit! Ah, Potter was pulling off a Wronski Feint! Haha Malfoy, you stupid prat! You fell for it!!!"

Malfoy almost crashed into the ground but pulled out of the dive in the nick of time. Harry had flown fifty feet up and continued to search for the snitch. Liam and Alexa were in a fight with Crabbe and Goyle who were hitting them with their bats. The Slytherin chasers were no longer aiming for the goal hoops, but instead at Ron. Alyssia had thrown the quaffle at Ron straight in his face, giving him a bloody nose. Crabbe had accidentally hit a stray bludger as he was trying to pummel Alexa with his bat in Harry's direction, who dodged it with ease. Madam Hooch couldn't control the players. It was so bad now that if she got involved, she'd only be dragged into the line of fire.

"Try and get Potter's girlfriend! Only when he's seen the snitch! ONLY then!!!" Malfoy said to Crabbe and Goyle. "Alyssia! Tom! Confuse Weasley and make sure he gets a good hit in the face so he can't see!" he added.

Cho and Akira scored two goals each, taking Gryffindor into the lead.

"YEAH!!!! Gryffindor scores four goals, taking them into the lead!!! 110-100!!! Gryffindor leads Slytherin by ten points!!!"

Alyssia scored, tying the score. Tom scored taking Slytherin into the lead. Alyssia hit Ron with the quaffle, broke his nose and scored all at the same time.

"Slytherin scores three goals, taking back the lead. 110-130."

Tom scored another two goals making the score 110-150. Then Harry saw a glint of gold streak by ten feet above him. He shot after it.

"NOW!!!! KNOCK HER OFF HER BROOM!!!" Malfoy roared at his beaters.

Cho had possession of the quaffle and Goyle knocked at bludger at her and hit her in the stomach. She dropped the quaffle and Tom caught it. Akira looked extremely mad. Cho slid off her broom and started falling.

"SLYTHERIN BEATER GREGORY GOYLE PELTS A BLUDGER AT CHO CHANG WHO IS KNOCKED OFF HER BROOM!" Lee shouted into the megaphone.

Harry was two feet away from the snitch. He didn't know what to do. Catch the snitch, win the game, and let Cho get hurt? Or save Cho and lose the match?

'You can do both!' A voice said in his ear. 'Apparatate!'

Harry sped toward the snitch and his outstretched hand closed upon the tiny golden ball. He looked down and saw Cho almost at the ground. He apparratated and caught her.

"GRYFFINDOR SEEKER, HARRY POTTER CATCHES THE SNITCH AND CHO CHANG AND WINS THE GAME, 260 POINTS TO 150!!!!!" Lee roared.

Akira meanwhile was screaming at the Slytherin beaters.

"KNOCK HER OFF HER BROOM! I'LL KNOCK YOU OFF YOUR BROOM!!!" She shrieked.

She started socking Crabbe and Goyle. She got hold of Crabbe's bat and hit the beaters with it then hit them both with it in between their legs. Both beaters fell off their brooms. Akira started going for Malfoy.

"I heard you shouting!!! Telling them what to do!!! Now it's your turn!!!" She screamed at Malfoy.

Malfoy froze in fear. Akira leapt off her broom, pounced onto Malfoy, and started pummeling him with punches. She was being pulled off from behind. She hit the person in the nose.

"OWW!!!" said a familiar voice.

Akira turned around.

"Oh my gosh! Mez!!!! I'm so sorry!!!" She exclaimed.

"Can you stop killing the Slytherins now?" Liam asked.

She let Liam pry her off Malfoy and put her back onto her broom but shouted as she sped to the ground.

"YOU'RE LUCKY MALFOY!!! THIS TIME!!! BUT NEXT TIME, YOU'RE DEAD!!!!"

Liam laughed. Akira looked at him her face in utmost horror.

"You're hurt!" She said in shock.

"Yeah, I know. Those two oafs that you knocked off their brooms kept hitting Alexa and me. We both have black eyes. And I have a bloody nose now…I think I've got a sprained wrist too. You're lucky you didn't get hurt-" Liam said but was cut off.

WHOOSH! CRASH! SNAP!

"OWWWW!!!" Akira cried.

A bludger had hit Akira's arm. Malfoy had Goyle's bat and had hit a bludger at Akira.

"Looks like you spoke too soon, Mez. My arm's broken. Did you hear it snap? It's hurts now!" Akira said, grinding her teeth so she wouldn't cry.

They continued to fly down to the ground. Harry had reached the earth and dropped the snitch from his hand and Madam Pomfrey rushed over.

"I think she's unconscious…" Madam Pomfrey said firmly. "Quidditch is a bad thing…too many injuries…this must be the worst game ever. In Hogwarts history! Two players knocked off their brooms! The whole team injured!"

She conjured a stretcher and had Harry help her put Cho on it.

"Ennervate!" She muttered.

Cho awoke, moaning in agony.

"W-where am I going?" She asked through pain.

"Hospital wing. I'll be right here at your side." Harry answered.

"Thanks…" Cho said.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Poppy! We've got two more!" McGonagall yelled as Liam and Akira touched down onto the snowy earth.

Hermione was on a stretcher, lying lifeless. She was unconscious as well. Madam Pomfrey levitated the two stretchers and had them follow her as she walked up to the castle.

"Potter, you can help me cure them. You've already proven that you have the ability." Madam Pomfrey said, with a lighter tone. "You're lucky you caught her. If she had hit the ground like Granger did…well I don't want to think about it…"

Three men walked over to Harry. It was Tai, Sirius, and Remus.

"Is she alright?" Tai asked.

"Well, I think she is…" Harry answered, knowing that Tai was concerned about his sister.

"Hey Tai!" Akira called.

"Hi Aki! What happened to you?" Tai answered, concerned as he saw his sister clutching her arm in pain.

"That stupid git Malfoy hit a bludger at my arm and broke it. And those two beater idiots used their bats to beat the crap out of Mez and Alexa." Akira explained.

"How'd he get the bloody nose?" Tai wondered.

Akira and Liam started laughing.

"I did that on accident. You see, after Cho fell off her broom, I went and attacked the beaters and both of them fell off their brooms. Then I attacked Malfoy and Mez was trying to pull me off Malfoy, but I didn't know at the time it was him, so I hit him in the nose and once I realized it was him I felt bad." Akira answered.

"Harry, you fly just like James." Sirius said.

"Thanks…" Harry said.

"Yes, I agree. Just like James used to." Remus agreed, shaking his head vigorously.

Ron came over and clapped Harry on the back.

"I saw the whole thing. Just bloody brilliant! The save and everything! Well done, mate!" Ron said.

"Thanks Ron." Harry replied.

They continued to walk up to the castle and into the hospital wing. Both Hermione and Cho got beds in the wing and were tended to immediately.

"Potter, I'll help Granger and you go help Chang over there." Madam Pomfrey ordered.

Harry nodded and placed a hand on Cho's head.

"Curaga." He said.

The light went through Cho just as it had Akira. The light seemed to gather in her right hand and continued shortly after then rose to the ceiling. Out of curiosity, he felt Cho's hand and noticed that bones were missing. He took off her Quidditch glove.

"Madam Pomfrey, she's going to need some 'Skele-Grow.'" Harry said.

Madam Pomfrey went into her office, came back with a bottle of green liquid, and gave it to him. Harry noticed that Cho was awake again.

"Cho, I need you to sit up. You're missing bones in your right hand." Harry said, helping Cho up.

He gave her the bottle. She uncorked it and sniffed it. She wrinkled her nose in disgust, and drank it. She fell asleep right after that. Hermione was also being spoon fed some 'Skele-Grow' potion as well. She too fell asleep. Madam Pomfrey went over to Akira.

"What's the matter?" Madam Pomfrey asked Akira.

"Broken arm." Akira answered.

Madam Pomfrey nodded and took out her wand and tapped Akira's arm with it.

"There you go…Merrick! Good gracious! What happened to you? Weasley! And Seraphim!" Madam Pomfrey exclaimed seeing Liam, Ron, and Alexa.

"My nose is broken…stupid Rosiak…" Ron muttered.

Madam Pomfrey took out her wand and fixed it in a second. She also got rid of the blood on his face.

"Got beaten by the beaters." Liam and Alexa said.

Madam Pomfrey sighed and stopped Liam's bloody nose and got rid of their black eyes. Both were cured of their injuries.

"Now Potter, let me have a look at you…" Madam Pomfrey said, striding over to him.

"I'm fine." Harry said firmly.

"Yes, yes, of course you are now let me see…" Madam Pomfrey persisted.

"I said I'm fine!" Harry said.

"If you say so…" Madam Pomfrey said, backing off and returning to her office.

Harry pulled up a chair next to Cho's bed. Tai, Akira, and Liam did the same. Sirius and Remus stood looking around. Ron was sitting next to Hermione, holding her hand. Harry went over to Ron and stood next to him.

"She'll be fine. Don't worry! You're lucky that it's winter and the snow is soft. So she probably didn't get hurt too bad." Harry said reassuringly.

"Thanks mate…" Ron said.

It was like that for an hour. Then both girls finally woke up. Hermione sat up and tried to get out of bed and fell right into Ron who was knocked over in his chair.

"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed.

She hugged him and kissed him, making Ron turn a bright red. Cho had awoken and sat up, feeling her hand.

"Wow! It works!" Cho mouthed.

Tai, Akira, Liam, and Harry looked up. They saw that Cho was awake. Tai, Akira, and Harry pounced on her, all of them hugging her.

"Hey! Cut it out! I can't breathe!" Cho said, gasping for air.

Tai and Akira let go of her, while Harry hugged her still. He finally released her and turned to look at her.

"Feeling better?" He asked her.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Cho said.

"Glad to hear you're well." Liam said, shaking Cho's hand.

"Oh go ahead and hug her if you want Mez. I won't get mad. She's my sister after all…and if either of you try anything, I'll break both of your arms!" Akira joked.

Liam shrugged and hugged Cho.

"Well, if everyone is feeling up to shape, then I suggest we get to the Gryffindor common room as soon as possible so we can join the party that is surely going on there. I personally would like to see the place again…" Remus said thoughtfully.

The team nodded.

"Remus, I still need to look after them!" Madam Pomfrey cried.

"They'll be with Sirius, myself, and Tai." Remus said. "You have nothing to worry about."

Madam Pomfrey scowled and let them leave. Everyone practically ran out of the ward and to the portrait of the fat lady in the pink dress.

"Lion Lenora." Hermione said to the portrait.

"Yes and you nearly all of your are on the Quidditch team! Congratulations on your win!" The fat lady said as she swung forward.

The ten of them stepped inside and were greeted by a roar of sound. There was food everywhere and butterbeer was being shoved into their hands as they walked in, and people kept tying the Gryffindor Quidditch team in scarlet banners, some that had lions on them that really roared, one which had a lion eating a snake. Another banner was so large, that everyone in the common room were able to tie it around the team three times before they fell over on top of each other and couldn't move.

"Augh! Get off!" The team started shouting at the others.

Akira and Liam wriggled free and stood up hastily.

"Hey no fair! Come and help us!" Cho said.

Just then, the five remaining team members shifted and fell into the empty spaces where Akira and Liam were. Alexa was squeezed between Ron and Harry.

"Move right! And Ron move left!" Alexa said.

Both moved and Alexa crawled out and dusted herself off. Hermione had fallen into the space where Alexa had been.

"Any ideas Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Oh for crying out loud! This banner has been loose enough for us to get out ever since Akira and Liam got out!" Hermione said exasperated.

"Oh good grief!" Akira said.

She strode forward and untied the knot and helped everyone up.

"Thanks!" said the four.

Tai, Sirius, and Remus were laughing.

"You shut up, Tai!" Cho snapped at her brother.

"What're you gonna do?" Tai asked, imitating Goyle.

"Jump out the window and break all my bones. Then we'll see who's laughing!" Cho answered.

Tai's face turned serious.

"Don't say things like that! You'll make me have a panic attack." Tai said seriously.

Cho rolled her eyes and gave him a look that read 'whatever you say'. She took a butterbeer and split it with Harry. Akira and Liam were sitting in a corner and there were four empty bottles of butterbeer littering a small table. Akira seemed very out of it.

"You see…hic…I was fine on my…hic…first two, but after…hic…a third, butterbeer is more powerful…hic hic…" Akira was saying, hiccoughing.

Cho was watching her sister.

"Oh dear god! She's had too many…" She said as she walked over to her sister.

"Hi…hic…Sis!" Akira said.

"Are you drunk?!" Cho asked.

"I don't know…" Akira replied.

"Oh for crying out loud!" Cho said, rolling her eyes.

She took out her wand and conjured a bucket of warm water onto the small table. She gave her sister a slight push with her wand and Akira's head fell into the bucket. Cho pulled her head out then continued to drop her sister's head into the water and pull it out again.

"Ok! Stop it! That's enough!!!" Akira yelled.

With a wave of her wand, the bucket disappeared and Cho threw a towel at her. Akira dried off her face and her hair. Liam was blinking and staring. In fact, everyone was blinking and staring.

"Uh…" said Liam.

"Er…" said others around them.

"It's too quiet now!" Ron said. "Everyone start talking again!"

They all shrugged and returned to whatever they were doing. Cianna walked over to where the Gryffindor team were sitting.

"Hey Cianna! Did you see the match?" Akira asked.

"Yes I did. It was exciting. I even saw what you did to those Slytherin beaters and their captain. But I also saw how the captain hit a bludger at you. And I saw Hermione and Cho fall off their brooms…those Slytherins are dirty cheaters! They should die!!!" Cianna said vehemently.

"Yes, we know how you feel…the next Quidditch match will be against Hufflepuff and the final will be against Ravenclaw. But the next match isn't until February, right before the Valentine's Ball…Well the week before it, anyway…Ravenclaw needs to beat Slytherin so that they can be sure to play at the final, then Hufflepuff needs to beat Slytherin, but that'll happen after we play them. Of course, it all sounds impossible…" Ron said as he continued to babble on about the upcoming matches.

It was nearly two in the morning when Professor McGonagall came into the common room to stop the party. Lots of students grumbled about it, but picked up their things and went to their dormitory and into bed.
