Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had played yesterday afternoon. The score had been 180-70 to Hufflepuff. The game had lasted 3 hours.

The whole school had gone to watch the match, to cheer on their teams.

James had cheered for neither team he didn't see reason to pick a side.

'I can't believe it. It's finally here.' James said excitedly sitting down at the Gryffindor table next to his team mates.

Well for today anyway.

'How can you be so excited? I'm literally shaking!' Marlene stammered.

'You'll be fine.' Remus tried to reassure her.

'Just don't let any goals in.' Sirius advised her.

'Wow, because that makes me feel so much better.' Marlene said sarcastically.

'mou'rbe welembe.' Sirius said through a mouthful of cereal and milk.

'That's disgusting.' Mary shrieked, pulling a disgusted face and leaning away from Sirius.

Even though she was 2 seats away from him.

'Close your mouth Sirius.' Remus to him off.

''Omay.' Sirius grumbled and shut his mouth full of food shut and swallowing it.

'That's better.' Alice said.

'Where's Gracie?' Sirius asked quickly after spotting she wasn't here.

'And Lily?' James added in.

Alice, Mary and Marlene began laughing.

'You know how yesterday we were talking about how hard it was to wake Gracie up?' Alice mentioned.

'Ah…'

'Today's the day!' Gracie shouted making them look up as she entered the hall.

'And she has arrived…' James muttered.

Lily walked along next to her, shaking her head at her.

'Now why do lot all look so nervous?' Gracie asked as she sat down and took a piece of toast.

'Do you know what day it is?' Peter asked with raised eyebrows.

'Course I do. It's Sunday.' Gracie shrugged.

'No-'

'I know it's the game today. I did say today's the day didn't I?' Gracie snapped.

Everyone stared taken aback by her.

'Look I didn't mean it,' she sighed. 'I'm just in a mood.'

'Why?' Frank questioned.

'Someone decided to wake me up again this morning. Let me just tell you, hot water works the same as cold.'

'So how's everybody?' Dorcas Meadows walked into the changing room.

'Alright.' was most of her replies.

'So as I'm captain, Dumbledore allowed me to come and speak to you lot before you go out.' She explained and sat down on one of the benches.

'Cool. So any last minute advice?' Gracie asked, pulling on her gloves.

'Yes. Be careful. The Slytherins play dirty. Very dirty. Even if they're first years they might do something, remember they've probably got help from older years.' Dorcas calmly, her voice dead serious.

They nodded.

'Great! Good luck, do it for Gryffindor and remember I'll be watching the team's got some empty spots next year.' Dorcas grinned and stood up.

'See you.'

'Wow, great words of encouragement.' Lily mumbled.

'So Dorcas's awesome.' Gracie said. 'I've met her a few times when the twins had her and Dirk over to practice Quidditch.'

'Oh-'

At that moment the whistle blew, signalling the teams to walk out.

'And it's the Slytherin team. Malfoy, Black, Nott, Warrington, Mulciber, Avery and their Seeker… Snape.' The commentator, Riley Jordan said with not enthusiasm at all.

He is a Gryffindor though.

'And now, theteam you've all be waiting for… the might Gryffindors!' Riley shouted.

'Ready?' James asked.

'Ready.' Was his firm reply.

They formed a line and on their broomsticks, flew out of the changing room.

'Potter, Bones, Longbottom, McKinnon, Black, Lupin and their Seeker… Prewett!'

They flew out to the pitch.

The whole school had turned up, along with teachers and governors.

'Everyone, welcome to the official first, first year Quidditch match ever! Madam Egg comes out onto the pitch!'

Madam Egg flew out on her broom and halted in the middle of the teams, who were facing opposite each other.

'I want a nice clean game from all of you. Captains shake hands!' she commanded.

James and Malfoy both flew forwards.

'And the captains, James Potter and Lucius Malfoy shake hands! Madam Egg releases the balls and their off!' Riley yelled into the magical microphone.

Frank immediately grabbed the Quaffle as it was thrown into the air and took off.

James flew along behind him, keeping an ear out to listen to Riley's commentary.

'LONGBOTTOM HAS THE QUAFFLE! NO- MALFOY INTERCEPTS- MALFOY PASSES TO BLACK- THE ONLY GIRL ON THE TEAM- SHE DROPS IT- BONES CATCHES IT- GRYFFINDOR HEAD TO GOAL- YES! 10-0 to Gryffindor!'

The stands cheered (the Gryffindors obviously and most of the Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs).

Warrington through the Quaffle angrily at Malfoy who caught it.

James flew forwards and cornered Malfoy, who swiftly dropped the Quaffle and Nott swooped in to catch it.

'NOTT HAS THE QUAFFLE AND FLIES TO GOAL- BLACK'S BLUDGER HITS NOTT! The QUAFFLES DROPPED AND POTTER CATCHES IT! GOAL! 20-0 TO GRYFFINDOR!'

The Slytherins were getting angry.

Narcissa caught the Quaffle of Warrington and surprised everyone by dodging a Buldger and heading to goal.

'BLACK HAS THE QUAFFLE! SHE SHOOTS AND SHE… Ahh… scores. 20-10 to Gryffindor.' Riley said.

It was the Slytherin's turn to cheer.

Marlene, looking upset, through the Quaffle with surprising strength at Alice.

She went to catch it when- she was hit right on the head with Avery's Beaters Bat.

'FOUL! FOUL! AGAINST THE RULES! DELIBERATE!'

Alice was knocked unconscious and flew backwards off her broom.

Both Frank and Remus swooped down to catch her.

Luckily, they both managed to grab hold of her before she hit the ground.

Madam Egg's whistle blew.

'YES- THE WHISTLE BLOWS- GRYFFINDOR IS DOWN TO 6 PLAYERS- FREE PENLTY TO GRYFFINDOR! POTTER TAKES AND SCORES! 30-10 TO GRYFFINDOR!'

James fist punched the air as the Quaffle soared through the goal.

'LUPIN HITS THE BLUDGER- WAIT! HAS SNAPE SEEN THE SNITCH?'

James looked towards the other end of the pitch, where Snape was heading.

'AND PREWETT- DOESN'T GO AFTER HIM?' Riley asked confused.

Sure enough, above them was Gracie smiling and picking at her nails.

'HA! SNAPE FAILS TO TRICK THE GRYFFINDOR SEEKER! OF COURSE- GRACIE, SISTER TO FABIAN AND GIDEON WHO ARE ON THE GRYFFINDOR TEAM MUST OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME GREAT-'

'RILEY! GET ON WITH IT!' Professor McGonagall shrieked.

'SORRY PROFESSOR! POTTER AND LONGBOTTOM ARE PASSING TO AND FROM- A BLUDGER NEARLY HITS POTTER FROM MULCIBER- STOPPED BY BLACK! GREAT PLAY! LONGBOTTOM SHOOTS- AND IT'S SAVED…'

Remus's well aimed Buldger took Warrington by surprise, effectively making him drop the Quaffle and give James the chance to catch it and shoot.

'BRILLIANT! JAMES POTTER SCORES! 40-10 TO GRYFFINDOR!' Riley bellowed, to happy cheers.

'BLACK TRIES TO KNOCK PREWETT OFF HER BROOM! ARE THEY FIGHTING UP THERE?'

Everyone paused and looked up.

Gracie and Narcissa were fighting up there.

'WELL THIS ISEXCITING! GRACIE PREWETT NOW FIGHTING WITH NARCISSA AND NOT BELLATRIX!' Riley joked.

That caused great laughter to fill the stands.

'NARCISSA'S FALLEN OFF- MALFOY CATCHES HER! THE BROOMS FLEW OFF- NARCISSA OUT OF THE GAME- REMUS LUPINS HIT WITH A BLUDGER IN THE STOMACH!'

'You alright Remus?' he yelled to his friend, who was clutching his stomach.

'Yeah.' He groaned.

'Can you still play?' James asked.

Remus nodded.

Sirius flew up and batted the Bludger that had hit Remus away from him; it hit Nott on his nose, causing it to start bleeding.

James guessed it was broken.

Sirius must've guessed to because he was grinning.

'NOTTS NOSE LOOKS BROKEN- BUT HE CARRIES ON- MALFOY SCORES! 40-20 TO GRYFFINDOR! WOAH- MULCIBER BASHES INTO A GOAL POST AND FALLS OFF!'

Mulciber was now out of the game as well.

How stupid could you be to bash into a goal post?

'AND PREWETTS SPOTTED THE SNITCH!'

James's head whipped round.

Sure enough, Gracie was diving to the ground.

Snape was right on her tail.

Everyone was waiting, eyes wide and hanging off the edge of their seats.

The game had paused and everyone watched with baited breaths.

Gracie was straightening to a vertical dive and you could tell Snape was panicking.

'SNAPE GET OFF HER BROOM!'

Snape leapt onto Gracie's broom.

Or tried to.

He dangled off the broom on one hand clutching onto Gracie broom.

The weight was tipping the broom.

Gracie raised her leg and with her foot smashed Snape's fingers, causing him to let go and by chance his own brown smashed into him.

Because of the distraction, when Gracie reached out to catch the Snitch, she also crashed into the ground.

'THE GAMES OVER! AND WHAT A GAME IT'S BEEN! 190-20 TO GRYFFINDOR! GRYFFINDOR WINS THE FIRST, FIRST YEAR QUIDDITCH MATCH! GO GRYFFINDOR!'

'How are you?' James asked as he sat down on the chair next to Gracie's bed side.

'Alright. We won!' she grinned.

'Yep. We did. Sure showed them up!' Sirius joined in on the conversation.

They laughed.

In the end, the first ever first year Quidditch Match caused: Alice's skull to crack, Narcissa's jaw to break and her nose, Remus's ribs to be bruised, Mulciber's leg and wrist to break and Gracie's arm to break.

The first year Quidditch match was never ever played again.
