So I sped up the timeline
"Inter-School Quidditch Tournament, is child play? NOT!"
The inter-school Quiddtich tournament at firest did not get attention from the press. Recently as I were sent to do a peice on the whole event, i had thought that I was going to watch a bunch of teenagers hit each other aimlessly with bludgers as a sort of fun thing to do. Well I was wrong. Upon arriving at the host school, Hogwarts, I was greeted by no other than the headmisterss Professor McGonagal. next thing I know it I was in the great hall talking it up with each of the players from the five different teams. They are still a bunch of teenagers, the youngest player being only 11 actually, but what I saw in the great hall was far from different from what was happening on the feild.
April the 22nd.
The top box was filled with old geezers, my uncles included, who were watching helplessly as Hogwarts went head to head against the A.I.S. In the second round A.I.S was up by 50 points in which the Hogwarts captain, Stella Weasley, had decided to take chances and switched seekers with the reserve because the front liner got hit by a bludger by AIS. AIS is a very talented team though not enough to when it came to their seeker. it was a head to head match that could rival Krum's Wronksy Feint. Both seekers went down head first but only one triumphed as hogwarts earned a goood 60 points over AIS
Later that week it was two giants going against each other. Durmstang VS the vicious SWA, in which SWA got out of it a whole 120 points higher. SWA is the only North American team who joined in the tournament. Led by a 17 year old Lucy A. Cobs who couldnt even reach a height of five feet. As they say small but terrible. A day later it was Beaubaxton vs L.C.M. Beauxbaton got run over by LCM by at least 30 points. Beaubaxton played hard alright!
Month of May
As May creeped up, so did the second half of the tournament. By then leading the charts were Durmstrang, Hogwarts and most suprisingly SWA. The game on the fourth decided the out comes as Durmstrang and Hogwarts ended with a tie of 150 each having Durmstrang catching the snitch. We now wonder what is going on in Durmstrang's coach's head. Mr. Krum wouldnt tell us anything. He seemed rather annoyed as Hogwart's coach, Englands very own Oliver Wood, gloated after the game for his teams 15 goal score with in a span of an hour.
The day after SWA went head to head against LCM who only won abuot 10 points over SWA. SWA has been playing consistent and even if they hadnt caught the snitch that many times they seem to make for it with their excellent chasers. We asked the coach earlier about the seeker and she had said that their seeker had been using a replacement broom as her broom was destroyed during one of their long practices. We are glad to hear that Lyra has her broom back and said "you will eat my dust" to LCM's seeker after the game when the two decided to play chicken.
On the 6th, a dreary day and yet another round for the week. Beauxbaton vs. AIS. Beauxbaton won at least 60 points putting them on a 4th place in the over all chart.
Armand sat silently at his editor's office as he watched the mangy old man read through what he had written. he already had to cut off at lest 50 percent of the content and was dreading his editor's request for more cuts. Slowly the editor put down the parchment infront of him and smiled.
"I want you to go back and finish the whole season" the old man said as he flashed Armand his yellowing teeth in a devious smile. Armand sat there thinking as to why his editor was now so interested in the Tournament.
"What about my scheduled interview with the Ha..." Armand said but he never finished his sented as his editor cut him off and told him it was covered and that he shuold go back to hogwarts and watching more of the games. Armand gave up and stood up. Before he walked out he had turned his head and asked his editor, 'Is there something happening I dont know sir?"
"you are the reporter arent you? why dont you go find out. It'll be good practice for you" the editor chuckled before shooing him out of the office. Armand stood in his cubicle scratching his head. "What the hell is that old man after-"
"Manndy" a woman's voice said that cut his train of though. he looked at the entrance and saw his 4 housemates. Frowning he gave a good glare at his female cousin, Gillian.
"What do you want guys" Armand said annoyingly. It was his own brother that answered.
"We're all going somewhere" Reggie said as he waved at a female journalist passing by.
"Where?" Armand asked and it was Paul who told him to just shut up and bring his stuff. Armand protested but having five people force him out of the building, he couldn't do anything.

It was a sunny day of the 18th of May and most people wouldve been studying for their upcoming exams if it werent for the face off between SWA and Hogwarts. In the great hall the teams were sitting in one table and chatting along as if they didnt have an eminent match later that day. It wasnt that surprising though, SWA was a very friendly school and they didnt let the politics of the pitch get in the way of their friendships with the other's teams.
At the very end of the table the seeker Lyra was talking it up with the seekers of LCM and AIS. Not too far from her was Stella and Mike teasing how Sirius Potter got whipped by Nicola Silverio, when they werent even going out yet. Nicola just watched at how Sirius was seriously turning as red as his hair. Down a few seats Maggie with Patrick were talking to the other reserves before Jeff sat in and the conversation went to the direction of types of brooms from "who are those old peopl at the head table".
When three in the afternoon clicked SWA and Hogwarts stood up as they headed to the pitch for the 4pm game.
-
"What are we doing at Hogwarts..more like what are you four...doing..." Armand exclaimed as he watching the students walked towards Pitch B.
"We are here to watch the game...did you know the harpies are trying to recruit Stella?" Gillian said as she pushed off Paul who was lazily hanging off her and Alec.
"Harpies recruiting Stella? Are the pro teams scouting for.." Armand went silent as the scouts of some teams greeted him. he then thought about his editor's comment earlier. Not long after they found themselves sitting at the guest seats surrounded by many other pro-players who came that day to watch the two giants go against each other. There were also a few reporters on the scene.
"Gillian Potter! Potter! can you comment on the school's games?" asked a french reporter. Gillian smiled modestly and nodded before sitting down and waving her hand to the cousins and brother who decided to all congregate and greet the older Weasley cousins.
20 minutes later the game was on and SWA and Hogwarts had both had 4 gaols each. The game was just starting and bludgers were already hitting stands, the grass and even the damed hoops. Everyone was holding onto to their breathes as SWA made another goal and as Hogwarts had dislodged one of the chasers from her broom. With every second ticking the chaser, Silverio, was falling quite nonchalantly towards the grounds. Gillian's heart even skipped as she heard people gasp and a loud "NICK!" from the Ravenclaw stands, which sounded very much like Sirius Potter when a gush of wind and rumbling occured.
With everyone's eyes on the falling black dot a wind bubbled surrounded the girl and great vines sprouted from the pitch. As if it were a hand, it caught and cradled the wind orb and slowly reatreted to the ground as the chaser calmly waved the wind orb to disappear. The SWA team, their coach's time out, touched down on the pitch and ran towards the clearly shaken chaser.
"And what the hell was that...- Mr. THOMAS!- I mean that was spectacular!" shouted the MC of the game. With out any beat missing the Headmistress of SWA then spoke up and told the team to reroup and there was going to be a 10 minute break for both teams.'
"An Elemental...i wonder who is Air and who is Earth" Alec asked but it was Reggie who had told them that the four elements were a part of the SWA team, naming all of them the reporters sourrounding them silently listened before Reggie looked at them and told them that it was in the team profiles in the most smallest font at the bottom.
10 minutes later the game was on again and Hogwarts got 7 goals in as SWA only got 3. (H:12, SWA:80). It as until and hour later that Hogwarts got a whole 8 goals above when SWA's seeker caught the snitch and SWA won with a score of 210 while hogwarts had 200. Armand watched the game unfold and reasoned that the Silverio girl got shaken up and was not playing to her element.
That placed SWA and Hogwarts 1st and Second of the charts and they just all wanted if the two were goingto see each other in the finals.

Sirius rushed down to the pitch after the game and met up with Nicola. She looked like hell even with the props of all the players she was still a bit dazed.
"Nicole...hey Wait up..." Sirius shouted as Nicola stopped on her tracks and looked at Sirius sadly."I was worried that you wouldnt be able to save yourself.."
"Sirius...I...I should stop talking to you for a bit..." Nicola said as she looked at her feet. Sirius heard is cousin prance up behind him but that didnt stop him from grabbing Nicola's arm and pulling her nearer to him.
"Why...I havent been doing anything but being a..."
"For being who you are and honestly I dont think you'd still want to talk to me after all of this...I'm a freak Siri..." Nicola said as she pulled her hand away gently as she used the winds to lift Sirius' grip on her. It was then Jeff spoke up from the back.
"If you're a freak, then all of us Silverio grandkids are freaks...You did what you had to do to save yourself"
Sirius looked at her and smiled. "At least i know you can save me if I fall in that height". This made her smile and then gave the boy infront of her a peck on the cheek before saying her good byes for the day. Sirius just stood there rubbing his cheek as he progressively turned beet red.
"Oh My God!!!!! Ickle Siri has a girlfriend!" shouted James, Followed suit by all of the cousins who thought it would be fun to tackle Sirius to the ground. Stella, Parker, Gillian and Francesca watched as their brothers/cousins tackle the poor 15 year old Sirius. They were stopped by their uncles though as Harry and Percy, along with Oliver, walked into the pitch.
"Oy stop it! the reporters are still lurking" Shouted Oliver made everyone laugh and point at Armand who had Sirius in a headlock.
"I can see it now...prophet's own Armand Weasley wrestling a teenager..." laughed Francesca which made Armand stick his tongue out his little sister.
Harry then told the students to go back tot he castle as he pinched his own daughter's face red. "DAAAAAD...DAAAD!"
"Thats right...I'm still your father...hey look its a reporter" Harry said as she pinched harder and waved a the camera. After the flash he let go of his duagther and asked all of the reporters to leave the school premises which all did in fear of Harry Potter.
"GREEAATT...first puddlemere colors and now my very own father making me look like a child..UGH..Armand I forbid you to make that picture into an article" Gillian demand as she rubbed her cheeks. Armand just sat on the grass laughing.
"10 galleons on SWA" Reggie said which got the whole pot prize gain as the 7 people, Oliver excluded, placed bets on which team they thought were going to see each other in the finals.
AN: There are alot of typos. Sorry. I dont have Word right now my bros just system destructed, ergo no grammar check. Ew. I tried to find most of the problems...most are still there.
