Chapter 7, Part 1
“Yes!” I screamed applauding Harry. We had won! It was only a practice run but we had won! It felt great. After all that...Sam lost! The poor guy sweating through his robes and he didn’t get to win. The crowd was roaring and I really couldn’t believe it!
The Ravenclaw seeker was kicking up dust and frowning. It had been her fault really and she knew it. It must have been hard for her. “Teams shake hands!” Madam Hooch called as we landed, “Congratulations Gryffindor, and a wonderful game played by both sides!” She had said to the lot of us. It had been tough. Harry just about saved it for us though. He was the best seeker Hogwarts had, we were pretty lucky.
I shook each of the players’ hands but when I came to Sam I couldn’t resist giving him a little punch. “Hey!” He said grinning. Then I went to the Gryffindor Common room to celebrate. Even a practice matches win is a good thing. “Brilliant Ari!” “Nicely done!” “Perfect!” It was almost like being famous. One of the reasons I had stayed on the team for so long.
My robes were dragging on the ground but I didn’t care, although I needed to get my hair down. As I pulled it out of its bundle it kind of unfolded onto my shoulders with my green stripes in my eyes. I had to look cool.
I pushed through the portrait hole and a bunch of hands pulled me in. “Ari! That was brilliant mate!” I grinned. “You were great too, Weasley” I said back to him. The boys had gone all out. There were tankards of butterbeer everywhere as well as some new Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes stuff and what looked like chocolate éclairs. Basically everything that made a party. |
