CHAPTER 13
Today was the the Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor match, Harry had just come from calming down his very nervous brother, sure, he wanted Ravenclaw to win, but he also wanted Darren to catch the snitch. Walking with the rest of the crowd to the stands, Harry sat down twiddling his thumbs.
The players came on to the field in two single files while the crowd went crazy cheering for them. The captains shook hands and the whistle was blown. Taking to the air the Gryffindors' took possession of the quaffle as they had won the toss.
Angelina who was holding on to it tightly maneuvered skillfully between the players out of the corner of her eye she could see Katie hovering close by thinking about whether to pass the quaffle or continue she suudenly felt her broom veer off course startled her grip on the quaffle loosened and Randolph Burrow who had been flying in close quarters with her since the beginning took action and grabbed it out of her hand flying off speedily with it to the opposite goal post, aiming at a loop he threw it with all his might. "Ravenclaw score!" Lee Jordan said sounding very unhappy about it.
Jeremy Stretton another chaser on the Ravenclaw team was now holding the quaffle, taking no chances the Weasley twins cornered him and Fred hit a bludger right at him unable to react faster he let go of the quaffle and holding the broom with both hands swerved out of the way.
The quaffle had fallen to the ground and Madam Hooch called time out. All the chasers hovering expectantly over her waited, the whistle blew and the quaffle was thrown into the air, all chasers honing in on their target flew desperately towards it there was terrible 'crunch!' as Angelina and Jeremy collided together, on the other hand Katie who had been quicker than the rest and a bit closer caught the quaffle and dove steeply avoiding the scene of carnage.
Holding on to the quaffle and flanked by two very menacing Gryffindor beaters she flew towards her goal and looking into the opposition's keepers eyes she threw it hard and fast in a different direction "Ten points to Gryffindor!" cheers from Gryffindor stand were deafening, waving she got into her postion again.
In the meantime Darren had been hovering above the other players feeling very tired and to be honest a bit sleepy he had not yet fully woken up when an errant bludger whizzed past his ear shocking him awake.
Carefully scanning the grounds for a golden glint the telltale sign of a snitch, he decided to change tactics for a minute and see what the other team's seeker was doing suddenly he spotted the snitch very close to the seeker who had his back turned to it.
Moving nonchalantly Darren lessened the distance doing as much as he could before he was noticed when suddenly the snitch changed its course and flew right past the the Ravenclaw's seeker's head startled the seeker lost his balance which Darren took to his advantage and flew gaining speed on him the crowd falling silent in breathless anticipation on seeing the chase.
Bending almost parallel y with the broom he flew like a bullet the other teams seeker literally eating his dust and stretching out his hand his fingers locked over the cool surface of the slippery bugger.
"Gryffindor's are the winners ." shouted Lee hoarsely into the microphone and the crowd went mad when Darren raised the hand holding the snitch.
