22. Ruth and Fred
Ruth wrapped her scarf tighter around her neck as she cheered on her Slytherin Quidditch team. Brooms flew around the pitch at alarming speeds, from one end to the other and back again in a matter of seconds. Blurs of Green and Scarlet sped past, when suddenly a bludger came flying toward the blue eyed girl.
The girl froze in fear as her housemates ducked out of the way. Fred Weasley noticed the parting crowd and dove at the oncoming bludger, hitting it out of the way with just seconds to spare.
"Are you okay?" he hovered at the edge of the stand.
Ruth nodded quickly, blushing a deep scarlet that would rival the boys robes. "Thank you."
For a moment their eyes met, her heart raced. Ruth was unable to express her gratitude to the flying Weasley, the boy hesitated before throwing a smile to the blue eyed girl and flying off to hit away another bludger.
