The Quidditch Match Against...Slytherin

Liliana's POV

Classes.

O's and E's.

Harry being an overprotective brother and following me everywhere.

Ron blushing a lot whenever we talk.

My heart fluttering and Ernie smirking whenever we pass each other in the corridors.

Me tutoring Seamus on transfiguration, Dean on charms, and Neville on potions.

Mione getting all jealous of me (not for the attention, for getting two percent higher than her on an essay).

Draco Malfoy looking at me with this weird look like as if he knew something that I didn't (which I ignored).

People complimenting on my streaked hair.

The Lilies freaking out, but eventually getting over on my streaked hair.

This snotty pureblood girl by the name of Isobel MacDougal try to get all buddy-buddy with me and got told off by Lisa.

Harry and I getting Nimbus 2000's from Professor McGonagall.

Oh yeah, and lots of Quidditch practises.

That was basically a summary of my week. Quidditch against Slytherin is in two days. I'm freaking nervous right now! I bet Harry's even more.

Oliver was, as usual, giving us new strategies and tips. I managed to copy all of them down on a parchment, while making a mental note to practise them later. Harry's head is probably swirling now...poor bubby.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The match is just about to begin. My very first Quidditch match. I'm so excited, but yet, a little nervous.

"...woke in the hospital wing a week later," Oliver was just telling us.

Harry looked scared.

Katie shrieked. "Why do you have to tell them that?!" she scolded Oliver, whilst placing an arm around my shoulder. "Why now, right before the match?!"

Oliver smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

Then, the doors in front of us opened, we got on on our brooms, flew into the Quidditch field.

"Hello! Welcome to Hogwart's first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game: Slytherin vs. Gryffindor! The player take their positions as Madam Hooch steps onto the field to begin the game!"

"Now, I want a nice clean game...from all of you," Madam Hooch orders, particularly more to the Slytherins, before unlocking the bludgers, the snitch, and throwing the quaffle up in the air.

It wasn't long before I signalled Angelina to pass to me, and I threw the quaffle...it scored!

"Liliana scores! Ten points to Gryffindor!"

Then the Slytherins take the Quaffle and attempt to score, but Oliver blocks it.

While Flint is yelling at his teammates, I use it as a distraction and aim another goal.

"Another ten points to Gryffindor!"

"WHAT?!" I hear Flint shout. "Give me that! Take that side!"

Then things really start to get out of hand. Oliver gets a bludger in the stomach. Angelina gets boxed and falls down a quidditch tower. Worst of all, Harry's broomstick kept jerking back and forth.

I fly as close as I could to Harry without letting him hit me. "C'mon Harry! Stay calm and hold tight!"

"I-I'm trying, Liliana!" He replied, struggling.

Then, finally, his broomstick stops moving, and he once again gathers control on his broomstick.

Suddenly, I spot something gold in the air.

I pointed to it. "Go, Harry! It's the snitch!" He briefly nods and zoom off.

"Go, go, go, go!" I hear the crowd shout.

Get it, Harry! Get it get it get it...YES!!

"He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!"

"Gryffindor wins!" Madam Hooch announces.

"YEAH!" I yell, pumping my fists in the air dn flying down to Harry. He was holding the snitch out for everyone to see.

"Gryffindor! Gryffindor! Gryffindor! Gryffindor! Gryffindor!" The crowd chants.
