Chapter 14: Gryffindor vs. Slytherin

The crowd went wild as Slytherin scored another ten points for its team. Jane sighed again. She looked over at Hermione and Ron. Their expressions hadn't changed a bit for they were worried that Gryffindor was going to lose the game. Jane looked up at Hagrid. He was holding black binoculars and moving them around.

"May I see those binoculars, please Hagrid?" Jane asked.

"Sure thing, Jane," he answered as he gave her the binoculars.

Jane took the binoculars and looked through them. She was trying to find her brother because she still was worried that he might get hurt or even worse, die, but she didn't want to think about that right now. She moved the binoculars around and around, looking and looking. She spotted Fred and George Wesley, or what she thought were them, but still no Harry.

"Can you see Harry?" Hermione asked Jane.

"Nope, I don't see him, wait. I think I do," Jane said. "But, wait. He's got something following him."

"What do you mean Jane?" Ron asked eagerly.

"Well, I can't really tell, but it might be one of those bludgers," Jane said with an edge of fear in her voice.

"Let me see," Hagrid ordered Jane. Jane gave the binoculars to him. Jane, Ron, and Hermione all watched as Hagrid looked through them and he sighed. Just from that sigh, the three Gryffindors knew that Jane was right. A bludger was following him. Jane hoped that he would be fine, but as soon as those words popped into her head, Harry disappeared. At first, Jane didn't notice, but then Hermione said,

"Where is Harry?" She sounded like she was very worried about him and so was Jane.

"I don't know where he is," Ron protested.

"I wasn't asking you, in particular, Ron. It was just sort of an open question," commented Hermione.

"Oh," was all Ron said.

Jane looked all around, but the players were going by so quick that she couldn't spot Harry. Jane grew more and more worried, but then suddenly, she saw him! He was flying straight and it looked like he had his arm outstretched. Jane quickly asked for the binoculars from Hagrid again. He gave them to her just in time to see what happened to Harry. Jane looked through the binoculars and then gasped. The binoculars fell from her hands onto the ground near her feet with a THUD. She wanted to scream out to Harry, but she didn't want to have him lose his concentration, so she just kept on watching. Harry had grabbed the golden snitch, but as a consequence, he had fallen off of his broom and onto the sand. Jane saw Hermione, Ron, and Hagrid leave. She followed after them, but as fast as she could. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was going to burst from her chest at any moment. The four of them ran onto the sand on the field. The bludger that had been following Harry during the game was now trying to hurt him even more because it would go up into the air and come back down, but every time it would do it, it would miss Harry.

"Finite Incantatem!" shouted Hermione as she pointed her wand at the bludger. As she said those words, the bludger suddenly burst into tiny sparkles that floated down into nothingness. Jane, Ron, and Hermione all ran towards Harry as well as other students including the one and only, Professor Lockhart.

"Harry, are you alright?" Jane asked Harry as she sat down next to him. He was sitting down with his legs out in front of him and his left arm was holding him up as he was sitting. But the problem was that his right arm was close to his body like he was protecting it.

"I don't think so, Jane. I think I might have broken my arm," Harry answered with a wince as the pain started to overcome his body.

"Don't worry Harry. I can fix that arm in no time," Professor Lockhart said confidently.

Harry looked at him like he was crazy.

"No, not you," Harry said trying to back away, but the pain from his arm was too much for him to even move.

"Now, now Harry. I just have the perfect spell to use," said the professor. Jane didn't trust him, plus she didn't like him one bit. She didn't want to watch what happened, but she watched anyways, for she didn't want anything else to happen to her brother. After all, they had just met.

"Brackium Emendo!" shouted Lockhart. There was a bright light that appeared out of the end of Lockhart's wand and then it disappeared like that. Lockhart put his wand down and then grabbed Harry's arm. He lifted his arm and to their astonishment, Harry's wrist slumped down along with a sound that sounded like blood rushing down towards his fingertips. Jane made a disgusting look as Harry's arm made that sound again. Suddenly, Jane felt something come up her throat as Hagrid said, "Bones? There are no bones left!" He practically shouted it at Lockhart. Jane quickly knew that she was going to vomit, so she quickly ran to an area of the field that would be okay to do whatever she needed to do. Soon she had vomited whatever she actually had from breakfast. She heard Hermione come over and then stop short.

"Jane, you okay?" she asked.

"I think I might be," Jane said as she was rubbing her mouth with her sleeve of her robes.

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked again growing a little more concerned.

"Yes, Hermione," Jane said as she got up. "I just had to…well…let's just say, I had to vomit." Hermione nodded her head as if understanding why she had to. Hermione and Jane started to walk back over towards the other people gathered around Harry. Jane saw that Harry had gotten up and they had started walking towards the school. She and Hermione followed the crowd, but soon as Jane was in the school she made way towards her dormitory so that she could change her robes and rinse her mouth, for she could still taste the bitter taste. She didn't want to walk around school with bad breath all day long. "Then I will go visit my brother in the hospital wing," thought Jane as she went into the Gryffindor Common Room.

AN: I don't own Harry Potter. The only characters I own are Jane, Sarah, and any other characters that I made up. (Last edited 3/20/17)
