Alright so if anyone read c. 8 then is the right one, I messed up and I hurried fixing it.
CHAPTER EIGHT
"Brr, it's cold today" Mike said as he sat down on the Slytherin bench. The Quidditch filed was being used as a soccer field in the middle. The field was 100 yards long with 40 yards wide with stand running one from one end to the other end on each side. Concession stands where yards away from the field for people to go and get food and warm drinks.
"Go get something to drink then" Scorpius told him.
"Maybe later the game is about to start"
"Why do we have to suffer in the cold just to watch them? Really, its so much nicer inside" Maddie said as she got closer to Scorpius for what she called "warming purpose" when she had a huge coat on.
"Because not all sports are played inside, and any way Mike and I will be playing in the snow soon enough"
"Your right, but they're not worth freezing just to watch them"
"Nobody asked you to. And anyway, two of the players are my sisters, I like to watch them play"
"But it's not even entertaining to watch. Is this even Varsity? What is so – "
"IF YOU DONT WANT TO WATCH THEN DONT WATCH" Scorpius cut her off becoming irritating by her annoyance. She shut up. "And yes they are Varsity". JV usually consisted of years 1-4 unless you were good, then you were moved up to Varsity. Jeal, Dani and Lily made Varsity their 3rd year, but not till their 4th year that they really got to play in Varsity.
"Hey, didn't Ravenclaw lost about two 7th year players last year, and both starters"? Mike asked.
"Yeah I think, why"? Scorpius replied.
"Not much, it's just that Ravenclaw got second place last year and I was wondering if they it might be about the same since only two players left and Slytherin lost about five"
"Oh" Scorpius said nodding his head. Yeah, Slytherin had beaten Ravenclaw by shootout last year. But would the team be different because of its lose of players and then new ones going in? At that moment, the announcer, Tony Butler, started his announcements.
"Headmistress, Professors, students welcome to the first game of the year for the girls soccer. Today's match will be between Ravenclaw and Slytherin"
"YEAH" came cheers from both side.
"Alright, to lets start off with the nonstarters from Ravenclaw 4th year #12..., and that folks are the nonstarters for Ravenclaw" "YEAH" a each mention of each name and when they were done. Then one by one each Ravenclaw had run up to the middle of the field and stood in line parallel with the referees waiting for the rest of their starters teammates.
"Nonstarters for Slytherin is 4th year #15..., and folks these girls are your Slytherin nonstarters" "YEAH" came again and both team were lines up opposite each other.
"WHOA, I can already hear the excitement out there. Alright, now a starters for Ravenclaw is 6th year #...," "YEAH",
"Slytherin 7th year #1...," "YEAH",
"Ravenclaw...," "YEAH",
"Slytherin...," "YEAH", and it went a while like this as each girls was named she ran down the line of her starter teammates, ran up to the middle of the filed, shook each referees hand, then the hand of the other Ravenclaw girl and then went over to the her teammates who were in the middle of the filed and slapped hands with all them, got to the end of the line, and waited for the next girl.
"Slytherin 5th year Sweeper #9 Dani Malfoy... " "YEAH",
"...Ravenclaw..., Slytherin 5th year Center Mid #10 Lily Potter..." "YEAH" and Scorpius heard that much of the cheer had come from her family who were on the Slytherin side in the front row, most with red and brownish red hair, and one with dark hair. He smiled at their support of her even sitting down in the Slytherin side just to cheer one her. They loved her and didn't care what house she was in, she was still and always would be one of them. He envied her that, that no matter what she did, she would always have their support.
"...Slytherin 5th year Center Striker #11 Jeal Malfoy" "YEAH", and went on like this till they were done with calling all the girls name and the coaches names. The Slytherin girls ran to their benches, gather around putting their arms around each other shoulders, their coach in the middle talking to them. Then all of a sudden, they started "AHHH" (don't know how to write sound but hope you get it) their voice loud, when together they said "ALTE, CELERITA, VALIDUS"
"Higher, faster, stronger. That a good motto wouldn't you say so Headmistress McGongal"
"Butler, pay attention the game is about to start" McGongal said.
The Slytherin girls separated and all went to the left side of the field and positioned themselves. One referee was in the middle of the field with the ball under his foot, the two where outside referees. Dani went to the middle as mid D, Jeal and Lily where on top the half circle of their side.
"And Ravenclaw will start off with the kickoff" Toby said.
"Ready keeper"? Ravenclaw keeper nodded.
"Ready keeper"? Slytherin keeper nodded. The ref nodded his head, held his whistle to his mouth, and blow.
"Let the game being. Ravenclaw forward Tang passes the ball to her fellow mate..." and Scorpius stopped listening and just watched, commenting to himself. Ravenclaw girl kicked the ball forward where her friend got it and passed it up only to be chest trapped by a Slytherin and then passed on to Lily who then passed to the outside. The outside player took the ball up, brought it back and kicked it to the other side where her teammate ran up to control, passing to the middle to Jeal who ran the ball up, saw an outside player, kicked it her way only to have the whistle be blown.
"Offsides" the ref said. Groan coming from the Slytherin side crown. A Ravenclaw girl got the ball, put it on the ground and kicked it where a Ravenclaw was able to control. The game was good, both teams evenly matched. Slytherin would get in into the 18 yard box, attempt a shot only to have the goalie catch it or miss the frame. And same went with Ravenclaw, by his count, by the end of the first half, both teams had attempted six shoots, Slytherin two fouls and Ravenclaw one foul.
"Damn, it seems that it might be the same this year" said Mike as he pondered on who was going to win. "Ah, I hope Slytherin wins, no I mean I know Slytherin is going to win since I bet 50 gallons that they would" he said starting loudly only to end with a lower voice. Scorpius scowled at him, why bet really, to him it seemed like a stupid way to lose money. Yeah he was rich, but the money that he usually spend did not come from his parents. He was too proud and so he worked too earn himself some money and feel good and more dependent.
And then the game restarted with Slytherin starting with the ball. The game went on as the first half had, but by the time the 20 minute of the 2nd half had passed by (there was a time clock), Slytherin scored with a shot by Jeal and an assist by Lily. All of the Slytherin, except Maddie, got up and cheered loudly, and even louder the Potter/Weasley's.
"YEAH MALFOY NICE SHOT" yelled Fred. Jeal and Lily had hugged then and everyone was patting Jeal on the back, she waved at Fred.
"NICE PASS LILY" Albus said.
"YEAH" all of Slytherin's yelled. The game started again and with both teams close at making a goal, the game ended 0-1 Slytherin.
"YEAH" all the Slytherin's yelled again as they won. Mike was high fifing as many people as he could, with not a lot of success. The Slytherin team celebrated on their way way to their locker rooms to change, while the Ravenclaw team had already left the field. Looking at his watch, Scorpius saw that it was almost time for volleyball game, and debated whenever or not to wait for the girls or just go.
"Hey Mike, should we wait for the girl"? Mike looked at his watch.
"Yeah sure, we still got time" and Scorpius nodded as he and Mike went to wait for the girls near the locker room exit.
Alright so as I was writing this story, I realized that I was going to be a long story. I'm really getting into it and I really want to describe as many things as I can in the story with out going overboard and not seeming to know how to describe things. (hope I'm doing a good job of that, I got excited when I was writing the story because as a soccer player, that kind of shit is so exciting)and so people who are reading this, if you like it be patient because once I hook them up, its not a happy ending from there. And if you choose to stay with the story, thank you for sticking with it even though at times it might not be the best. As you could tell, I changed the game times so sorry for the confusion if there was any and I hope to see you all back continuing to read my story.
