Chapter 11: Not A Quidditch Fan
Morrigan wasn't looking forward to the first match of the season, Gryffindor vs. Slytherin. Malfoy was excited about the idea that Slytherin would beat Gryffindor but Morrigan couldn't get into the spirit of things. She just didn't understand what all the excitement was about when she was an avid horse jumping fan and soccer fan. She had managed to convince Aunt Petunia to allow her to take riding lessons and the Dursley's had agreed, thinking that this would be the best way to get her killed. She had proven to be very good at the sport and had won several trophies.
Thankfully Professor Snape had allowed her to go back to get her things from her room before Uncle Vernon destroyed them. She now had all her trophies and a horse that had been given to her by her trainer. Horse jumping was the only thing that the Dursley's had approved of when she started winning money.
"I don't see the point in getting on a horse and jumping over things," Tracy said, "Sounds totally muggle to me."
"Well I like it," Morrigan told her, "It's a noble sport!"
"It's a muggle sport!"
"And I'm not listening to you," Morrigan told her. "Now if you're done insulting what I like I'm going back to my Charms book."
"Fine, honestly you sound like a muggle all the time."
Morrigan rolled her eyes.
Morrigan spent time with her new guardian, talking about all the things that she liked to do. She told her that even though the Dursley's treated her horribly they allowed her one pleasure, and that was horse jumping.
"Good sport," Snape said, "I saw it a couple of times when I was a child."
"And you do this for fun," McGonagall said, shocked that anyone would find this interesting.
"Yes," Morrigan said.
"I like horse jumping," Snape said.
"Yeah, the Dursley's liked it even more when I started winning money," Morrigan told them.
"Did the Dursley's take your winnings?" Snape asked.
"Yeah, and gave them to Dudley," Morrigan said.
"Horrible muggles!" McGonagall stated.
"Do you have horses here?" Morrigan asked.
"Yes but I don't think that Dumbledore will allow you to ride them."
"And why not?" Morrigan asked.
"Because their only for pulling the sled on Christmas."
Morrigan snorted at that, saying, "That's stupid."
"Those are the rules," McGonagall told her.
Morrigan hated those rules.
The next day an owl dropped off the book that Madam Pince had talked about. The three of them flipped through the pages until they found the potion that they were looking for. Millicent and Tracy laughed at the description that was in the book.
"Malfoy is going to look like a total moron," Millicent said.
"Yeah, I can't wait," Morrigan told them, "And maybe we can slip some to Weasley."
"Which one?"
"The one name Ron," Morrigan answered.
"Oh that should be fun to see, Ronnie the girl," Tracy said and they all laughed.
On the morning of the match Tracy had to drag Morrigan to the Quidditch pitch to watch the game. Morrigan grabbed a book to read so that she wouldn't have to watch the actual game. Tracy tried to take the book away but Morrigan was faster.
"I didn't want to go but you're making me so I'm taking a book," she said.
"Fine," Tracy said and the three girls left the castle.
The whole game ended up being a waste of her time. Yes, she did cheer when Slytherin scored but the whole game reminded her of a bunch of idiots chasing after something that they would never truly get. She managed to slip out of her seat and go down to the stables where the horses were kept.
"You're much better than some stupid game," she said.
The horse nuzzled her neck and then she grabbed a blanket, saddle, and reins and got the horse ready. She was going to have a little bit of fun, her own kind of fun. She enchanted a whole course so that the horse could jump over them. She got on and soon she was back in her element, jumping over hurdles.

"I can't believe that you weren't watching her," Tracy said to Millicent.
"I was too busy having fun," Millicent said.
"Well Snape is going to kill us when he finds out that we weren't watching her," Tracy said. "Let's go and look for her before Weasley finds her."
"Fine, but don't tell Snape that I'm at fault," Millicent said and they went looking for her.
They found her coming out of the stables, a happy expression on her face. She joined them and asked, "What are you two doing here?"
"Looking for you," Millicent told her.
"Well I'm fine," she said, "Come on, I need to shower and change."
"And what were you doing?" Tracy asked.
"I was riding a horse," Morrigan answered.
"And why would you want to do that?" Millicent asked her, shocked that anyone wanted to do something that was muggle and be a member of Slytherin House.
"Because its fun," she said, "And it's a lot better than Quidditch."
Millicent and Tracy stared at her and Morrigan walked by herself back to the castle.

Morrigan knew that they would never understand why she liked to do things that they didn't but she wasn't about to give up her love just because someone didn't want to understand it. Morrigan was happy that Slytherin won but she had been far happier on the horse. During the next Potions lesson Malfoy was beyond annoying. Ever since Slytherin had won he acted as though he owned the place, which shouldn't even be possible to think about.
"Even though the Slytherin Seeker is good, he's leaving at the end of the year," Malfoy said, "I'm trying out for Seeker."
"That's great, Draco," Pansy said.
"To bad someone can't try out," he taunted, "Afraid that you're going to break a nail, Potter."
"No, are you afraid that your going to lose a brain cell," Morrigan asked.
Malfoy went red and said, "At least this is going to prove that girls have no business being on any Quidditch team. Since the-girl-who-lived is to weak to try out."
"I'm not weak, I just don't like Quidditch."
Everyone gasped but Morrigan felt better telling them the truth.
"See guys, this is what happens when someone isn't brought up with no proper wizard feeling. Not liking Quidditch, a crime."
"Yeah, whatever," Morrigan said, "You sound like a bad Red Sox's fan that didn't win the World Series."
"What?"
"Baseball," Morrigan explained, "The Red Sox's are a baseball team. The World Series is a series of games that two teams play when they have won a certain amount of games, go through the play offs, and get picked. Honestly, Malfoy, you need to read up on Muggle culture."
"I absolutely do not," Malfoy said.
"Fine, whatever," Morrigan said, "Now if you don't mind this non-fan of Quidditch is going to do her homework."
And she left her housemates behind.

A/N: I have personal experience with red sox fans not wining the World Series. I was in Mass when the Cardinals won and boy the fans didn't like that.
