Chapter 13: Quidditch
Today is the day of the first Quidditch match of the season, Gryffindor verses Slytherin. I was all prepared to sit in the cold and cheer my team on. I had on three sweaters, the topmost one being red, my Gryffindor scarf, a Gryffindor beanie, and even a pair of red and gold socks.
"Ready for your first match?" I asked Sienna at breakfast.
"Yep, today is going to be awesome" she said and she started piling food onto her plate. I raised an eyebrow, most people are too nervous to eat before their first game.
"You're playing against Al" I said.
"Oh, I know" she said and there was a small twinkle in her eye.
"What are you planning?" I asked.
"You'll see in five minutes" she said.
I had no idea what she was getting at so I went back to my food.
About five minutes later there were two loud POPs and everyone glanced around. Down at our end of table someone's head had turned into a donkey and over at the Ravenclaw table there was someone with a cow head on its shoulder.
I looked at Sienna. "That's Lysander and Natalie, isn't it?"
She smiled hugely. "Yep"
"You didn't…"
"Not by myself, I had some help from my favorite Slytherin" she said. I looked over to the Slytherin table where my brother and his friends were laughing.
"Is it going to wear off before the match?" I asked.
"I don't know how long it'll last. You have to ask your Uncle George, it came from his shop."
Lysander and Natalie went to the hospital, while little Hugo ranted on and on.
"Those damn snakes are trying to ruin my team. What am I supposed to do if his head doesn't get fixed before the match? It starts in five minutes" Hugo ranted.
"Don't you have any reserves?" I asked.
Hugo's eyes got pouty.
"No" I said.
"But I haven't even asked" he replied. I can't believe he was trying to give me the puppy dog face when I practically invented it.
"The answer is still no" I said.
"Don't you want Gryffindor to win?"
"Why don't you go see if Madam Bones can fix Lys before you start trying to replace him" I suggested.
After a few minutes everyone went down to the pitch. I sat with my cousins. Rose was on my right, and Roxy was on my left.
"I'm surprised to see you wearing your Gryffindor colors, I thought you'd be supporting your boyfriend" I told Rose.
"Shut up, he's not my boyfriend" Rose said.
"You haven't seen her socks, they're green" Lissa said, on the other side of Rose.
"Hey!" Rose protested. "I am supporting my cousin."
"Sure you are" I said.
Lissa was openly wearing green to support Al.
"So Lily, what ever happened between you and that Scammander twin?" Allie said to take the heat off her best friend.
"Nothing" I said.
"Which twin, I heard you dumped twin one for twin two" Lissa said.
I rolled my eyes.
"That is so not what happened" Roxy said. "I heard twin two and twin one got into a fight over her and twin two won."
I frowned. What the hell? "Okay I have no idea which twin is supposed to twin one and which one is supposed to be twin two. But nothing happened. Honestly. Lysander and I did go to Hogsmeade together, but just as friends. I told him I didn't like the way he was behaving and we stopped being friends. Now he's going out with Natalie."
"So you're not dating twin two?" Lissa asked.
"I'm not dating anyone."
"Such a shame, because they both a so cute" Roxy said.
I rolled my eyes and was glad that the players were coming onto the field.
The game started off quickly, and already it was a rough one. With just three minutes in the score was 30-40, and there were four injuries. One guy had a broken nose, another person had a broken hand, and two people were sporting black eyes. I don't think there has ever been a game with this much blood in it in only twenty minutes.
Many foul shots were awarded and Madam Hooch had a hard time keeping up with all the penalties. After an hour of a solid bashing where three students were carted off to the hospital wing the headmistress finally had enough. She stepped out onto the field and called both teams down to her. She said the next person who committed a personal foul would get a week's worth of detention.
The match ended two minutes after that declaration. We won the match but lost two players in the process.
AN: To anyone following this story: Sorry for the long wait, and this is sort of a filler chapter, I plan on having some major plot stuff coming up.
