Oh oh! That Hufflepuff boy was fast for sure! He was playing too level with her! Ira hurried forward, not stopping for breath as she hopped to the 17th, then 18th.. then 19th and finally the last pole! 20th pole!

Oops! the boy fell fprwards! Perhaps he had tripped over something.. Ira couldn't leave him there hurt! She asked him, "Here, take my ha.." But by then he had already got up but was pretty dazed. "I think you just sort of tripped and fell down... Are you alright?"

Ira rounded the pole 20 and began her tiring journey back to the start line where her teammates were waiting for her.
