Chapter 27: The match
(Regulus's view)
I awoke the next morning with a smile on my face as I hurriedly dressed and ate in as to not miss my daughter's first match.
"Dimitry, wake up! we need to leave for Luci's match soon." I said, as I threw his cloak at him which hit him in the face.
"Reg, calm down." he said as he pulled the cloak on over his clothes, and pulled his gloves on in a hurry.
"You're doing the humming bird thing again." he said with a laugh as he handed me my cloak.
"Sorry, I'm just so excited to watch my baby's first match." I said, while hurrying over to the fireplace to grab the floo powder.
"Hogwarts," I said as I thrust the fist full into to the fire, which turned green as Dimitry and I disappeared through it.
A few moments later Dimitry and I landed on soft grass before quickly making our way towards the quidditch pitch and taking our seats as the players walked out onto the field to begin the match.
I watched with growing pride as my daughter mounted her broom and shot off like a rocket at the sound of the whistle.
"Yes baby, make Daddy proud!" I cheered as she zoomed past with her hand outstretched in an attempt to catch the snitch.
Her eyes looked into mine briefly and she shot me a quick smile before diving after the snitch.
"That's my girl!" Dimitry cheered as he watched her go rocketing off after the snitch when suddenly she did a sharp turn to avoid getting hit by the bludger and I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding.
"You've got this baby, just a little bit longer." I whispered while watching with worry as the bludger barreled after her again.
"Look out, Luci!" one of her teammates yelled and she turned around only to get knocked off her broom.
"LUCI!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed as I watched her falling through the air when suddenly Dumbledore got to his feet and stretched his hand out in front of him.
"Aresto Momentum!" he cried and time seemed to slow as Luci fell.
Dimitry and I got out of our seats and sprinted down to the field where I pulled my daughter into my arms.
"Luci?" I asked, as I touched her face worriedly when her eyes opened and she looked up at me.
"Dad..." She whispered, before hugging me tightly with her good wrist.
"Are you alright, Miss Black?" Madam Hooch asked as she and the rest of the Slytherin team hurried over to us.
"Yes, I've just got a broken wrist is all." Luci said, before holding out her injured hand which was closed in a fist, and uncurling her fingers to reveal the golden snitch.
"LUCI BLACK HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH! SLYTHERIN WINS!" the announcer said, and the whole Slytherin house let out a cheer of glory.
