15. HURLING HEX
First Year
Molly and Arthur The Gryffindors were watching a quidditch match between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. For Monty, this was the first she had seen of the game. The others had more or less grown up around quidditch, but even now it was exciting. Their first Hogwarts game! For Molly, this was her first live game, but her brothers had been to many matches outside of Hogwarts.
“Wow, this is so exciting,” Monty said, sitting on the very edge of her seat. “Flying doesn’t look that scary, does it? Maybe I won’t be so terrible at it after all.”
She had just finished saying that when she gasped, along with everyone else in the stands, and everyone on the Ravenclaw quidditch team. All except Latia Lorenzo, who had been hurled from her broom and was lying as a crumpled mess on the ground.
They were all scanning around, trying to make sense of what had just happened. It was very obvious, one could not mistake the grins on the Slytherin team’s face. It was them who had hexed a fellow quidditch player.
