"You ready for this?"
The whole school had shown up for the event including some of the teachers and were occupying the Quidditch arena. Madam Hooch had even come out to ref.
"Are you?"
Charlie and I were standing in the middle of the field, our brooms in our hands and our robes billowing in the wind.
"Alright kids shake hands, no dirty play, your just trying to catch the golden snitch before your opponent." Madam Hooch said and Charlie and I shook hands. I laughed a little as he gave me a wink.
"Mount your brooms!"
We mounted.
"On my whistle!"
Three.
Two.
One.
The shrill sound of Madam Hooch's whistle cut through the air and we rose in the air, both in look for the snitch.
I looped the stadium, my eyes everywhere.
"And their off! The rookie Casper Potter and the great Charlie Weasley. This is sure gonna be something!" I heard Lee's voice ringing throughout the stadium.
We were barely in the air when it started to rain. I squinted my eyes in hope to find a golden gleam. My stomach jumped when I saw it. It was in front of the teachers section. I took off, flying as if I had no care whatsoever if I hit the teachers. The snitch took a sharp left and before I hit McGonagall in the face, I turned moving my whole body in order not to hit her.
To my right was the fans and to my immediate left was Charlie, fighting to get in front of me. He pulled just in front of me and I cursed making many of the students around me jump. Shakily I stood up on my broom, still on the butt of Charlies broom.
When we got close to the teachers again I did it. I jumped. I jumped over Charlies head, much to his astonishment, and landed on my broom taking the lead. I looked over a little to see McGonagall clutching her heart, standing up.
The snitch took a nose dive and I followed suit.
"And the snitch has taken a dive. Potter has already shown that she throws caution to the wind in this match but how far will she take it? Wait whats this?! There's thunder and lightning now. Madam Hooch is blowing it but I don't think that they can hear her!"
I couldn't. All I was focused on was the snitch inches from my hand I pulled out of the dive still following the snitch and dove off my broom. I grabbed the golden snitch and twisted to see lightning coming at me quick.
I stopped it. I stopped the lightning, holding out my wrist and pausing it. I felt Charlie catch me and take me to the ground. The lightning was going crazy now and I mentally put up a field.
"Can you stop anymore of them?" Charlie asked and I shook my head. I was too drained.
"Too much energy but this will keep it at bay." I answered and turned to look at the lightning.
"How-"
"I don't have enough energy."
As soon as I said it the idea struck me. I grabbed Charlie's broom and hopped on it, riding up to the edge of the field.
I put my hand on the field and felt the energy, the power, course through my veins as if that was my blood. I put my other hand on it and closed my eyes. I let the energy course through me until I was about to burst.
I didn't know where I was or who anyone was. My hair was a brilliant eyes and to an extent, my skin. I dropped the broom I was riding in disgust. I could fly. I saw a lightning bolt coming down by next to the teachers. I flew over there in a second and stopped it. I flew all around the field stopping the lightning and then hovered again in the middle of the pitch.
I raised one hand in the air and flicked my wrist. The result was great. The lightning flew away with the clouds bringing the sun into view. I saw the stadium threatening to fall and I gave my hand another flick. and it fixed itself. I looked around the stadium again and saw adults standing up and children look up in admiration, and fear.
I gave a little laugh and the world became dark.
"Wait shes coming to. Wait, Professor!"
My eyes fluttered open to see blurry faces above me. I groaned rubbing my head.
"What happened?" I asked the faces.
"That depends what do you last remember?" One of the blobs asked and I closed my eyes.
"I remember getting ready for the match with Charlie." I said and the blobs moved around more.
"Hey Casper can you sit up for me?" Another blob asked and I put an arm over my closed eyes.
"Can I or will I?"
"Can you?"
"Yes."
"Will you?"
"No."
I opened my one of my eyes to see the blobs focus a bit more.
"Charlie is that you?" I asked, squinting at the blurry mess.
"Yes can't you see me?"
"Yes but everything around me is a blob and I don't like it so if you would like to tell me who the bloody hell is around me right now that would be extremely helpful."
One of the blobs gave a little sigh.
"Okay so Professor Dumbledore is here with McGonagall and then there's me and Madam Pomfrey is talking to Madam Hooch right now so you wouldn't be able to see her. She'll come over here in a second." Charlie told me and I gave a little smile.
"Thats bloody brilliant now will someone please tell me what happened?" I asked attempting to prop myself up. I gave up as my head felt as if it was going to explode and let Charlie help prop my back against the side of something hard.
"Casper honey we're trying to help you just sit tight for a second." McGonagall said putting a hand on my knee and looked around. In an instant everything sharpened and I looked around.
"Well you aren't blobs anymore." I muttered and Dumbledore gave me a small smile.
I looked up as Madam Pomfrey walked back.
"Well dear you just seem to be extremely accident prone don't you?" She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah something like that."
"Well it seems you have a concussion but that seems to be it. You're body is exhausted though you'll need to stay in bed for the rest of the day and I'll check on you in the morning." She continued and I gave a small nod.
"Well that sounds just. Bloody. Brilliant." I answered, putting heavy emphasis on my last three words. With a scowl the medi witch stalked off and left me with my little group.
"You were amazing though." Charlie said and I looked at him.
"Did I win?"
"Shut up."
