I wake up before my alarm clock goes off because of the nerves. I walked down stairs and ordered breakfast and a hot chocolate. Slowly one by one the team joined me at the table. We ate in silence. This was the first match and it basically was the game that showed people wither we were a force to be reckoned with or wither we were a lost cause. At quarter to 9 I walked up to my room and grabbed my equipment before meeting the rest of the team by the bus outside. I took a seat near the back of the bus by myself and put my earphones in. The rest of the team knew not to disturb me. This game was important I needed to be on my A-game. I needed to be game mode to beat England.
45 minutes later we pulled up in front of Pine Crest Stadium. It was in basically the middle of nowhere. We stepped off the bus one by one while workers carried our equipment in to the stadium. Fans were being pushed back with small metal gates with bodyguards. We walked down a narrow path with the fans screaming on either side. I walked in to the stadium as fast as I could without running. We were escorted to our changing room that had all our equipment placed in lockers. The change room was ours until the end of the Cup. I walked to my locker and got changed. I sat down on the bench as our coach started giving us our pep talk.
Sam finished his pep talk and we all got up and grabbed our brooms. The conditions were perfect. We walked thru a tunnel and mounted our brooms. First they called England and named every player as they flew out, took a lap around the field and then took their spots. I could hear Jordan commenting on how 5 players from the Gryffindor Quidditch team were playing and that 4 of them for England.
Then announced Canada; First was Joel, Then Quinn and then me. When I flew out The crowd went crazy I did a lap around the pitch and waved and the crowd smiling. I took my position opposite Ginny. She offered me a shy smile which I returned. I didn't dare look at Alicia or Angelina.
One by one the rest of my team flew out and took their positions. Then the referee came out and released the snitch and the Bludgers. They threw the Quaffle in to the air and the game was off.
4 hours later Tom caught the snitch and we won the game. I landed safely on the ground and joined the team group hug. We won by 200 points and it made sense because I knew over half the other team like the back of my hand and they had never played Canada before. We walked over to the other team to shake hands with the other team. I was at the end of the line. As we shook hands everyone was giving me confused looks. When I reached the end of the line and shook Oliver's hand he started to say something but I quickly pulled away and walked down the tunnel and into our changing room. I quickly hooped into the shower and got changed into the team tracksuit. I put on some makeup and threw my hair in to a high ponytail.
I walked down the hall in to the interview area and was escorted in to my chair. One by one different TV, newspaper and magazine interviewer came up. It was always the same " Congratulations on 27 points and 5 assists", "what's it like playing against your former team mates" stuff like that. After all the interviews I excused myself to go get ready for the live television interview I had. I took the floo network back to my room and ordered some hot chocolate.
I put on a pink cocktail dress with black lace and black pumps. I left my hair down and kept my makeup simple. A white limo came and drove me to the studio. The whole way there my hands were shaking. It was times like these when I wish I didn't have to do solo interviews
When we pulled up in front of the studio and I stepped out of the car the paparazzi who were waiting we're going insane. A nice lady named Julia showed me to a dressing room where I waited. I had watched this show several times before. It was called " 1/3 of the trio" and was hosted by none other than Seamus Finnigan. I wasn't sure wither I was more nervous to be on the show or to see Seamus.
Julia came to get about 10 minutes later and showed me back stage. When Seamus announced my name the crowd went crazy I walked out smiling and waving. I gave Seamus a Hug before sitting down on a soft red couch opposite him.
"Long time no sees Katie, how have you been?" He asked once the crowd quieted.
" I've been good. How about you haven't lost your eye brows again I see" The crowd laughs and so does Seamus.
" Nope their still their" he says for me before addressing the camera, "for those who don't know Katie is a year older than me and we were both in Gryffindor. But as a result of the curse that she got she had to restart 7th year with me. Also I was close friends with the replacement chaser who replaced her, Dean Thomas."
"Sadly I had to spent a year taking classes with this idiot" I said rolling my eyes.
"I wasn't that bad" He said.
"ohh yes you were somehow once a week you managed to blow something up." Everyone laughed at that.
"So Katie congratulations on your goals today. What was it like playing against England and winning?" He said getting right in to it.
"Well honestly I think we had the upper hand because first of all I know over half their teamlike the back of my hand and second of all England has never played us before."
" Now lets go back to the good old Gryffindor days when you could barely get any shots past Oliver, so what was it like getting 20 goals past him today?"
"Well first of all Oliver is an amazing Keeper but I think he thought that my style of playing was going to be the same when in reality it has changed so much. But honestly I was thrilled it was like getting back at him for all the 5 am practices."I said with a smile.
"Well Katie we have a surprise for you"
"Please it's not a potions experiment is it I like my eyebrows,"
"No Katie it's much better than that. Please welcome Oliver, Angelina, Alicia and Ginny!"
My smile fell right off my face as they walked on stage.
