Hogwarts RPG Name: Jacqueline (Jackie) Sampson | K.O. Tonks' Babies Thanks guys! here's the Quidditch Final: Chapter 19: Quidditch Final!
Tension had never been higher in the school, especially with the Gryffindors. Harry had led the team into the final match but could he win the cup? The match was Gryffindor vs Ravenclaw, who had beaten Hufflepuff. They were a tough team, and their seeker just so happened to be the Gryffindor captain’s ex-girlfriend. This caused a lot of gossiping about secret affairs, which fortunately Ginny didn’t believe.
It was the morning before the match and Harry was finding it hard to eat anything. Most of both teams had run from the Great Hall to throw up several times. Once the team was in the changing rooms, Harry decided now was the time to make a speech.
“Right, I know we all feel under pressure because Gryffindor have won the cup every year for… well ages! But that shouldn’t be worrying, because basically it means we’re a bloody good team! So let’s just go and kick my ex-girlfriend’s bum! I mean Ravenclaw’s bum…” The team laughed and confidently headed out onto the pitch.
A mass of gold and scarlet exploded on their entrance and cameras were flashing. The two teams hovered in a circle around Madam Hooch as Harry and Cho (the Ravenclaw Captain) stepped forward. Harry refused to look her in the eye as he hated her so much right now. Ginny scowled as they shook hands briefly, Harry was tempted to rip her hand off…
Madam Hooch blew the whistle and both teams soared in what seemed like random directions, desperate to get ahead as quick as possible. One of Ravenclaw’s chasers snatched the quaffle and Katie, Ginny and Demelza zoomed after him. Harry soared high above the pitch and kept his eyes peeled for a hint of gold. Cho was tailing him again…
“It’s Robins with the Quaffle with Bell in hot pursuit, Harry’s up there… he’s looking down… at me? Wow! Erm… yeh Robins with the quaffle… Oh Harry’s moved higher and slightly… East I think… yes definitely East! He’s now turning left… about 90 degrees… I’d say about 60 mph… Oh and Weasley has the quaffle!” Colin’ voice boomed through the stadium and Harry was getting increasingly annoyed.
Ginny and Katie scored but so did two of the Slytherin chasers; Ron was looking very worried and started fumbling easy saves. Fortunately (when the score was 40-20 to Slytherin the new Slytherin beater (Goyle) managed to hit himself with his bat and time-out was called. Harry went over to Ron.
“Ron I know that Slytherin are ahead but I know you’re a good keeper and so do you, so you let in a save or two big deal! Move on you know you can do this!” Ron looked slightly more confident and nodded slowly, then quickly, then quickly again and again before zooming off with a big smile.
The game started again and Robins headed for Ron’s goal again. The crowd went silent… everyone was watching the Gryffindor end. Harry could still see Ron nodding his head… Robins headed right and Ron went the other way, the crowd began to groan but Robins had shot the ball left and he stamped in mid-air as the quaffle spun into Ron’s fingers! The Gryffindor team sighed with relief as Ron passed the quaffle to Ginny.
15 minutes later Gryffindor were back ahead (100-40) and Colin Creevey was having a heart attack caused by over enthusiasm. Harry was scanning desperately for the snitch, if he caught it now they’d win… But then he saw it, a tiny glint of gold hovering near Cho. He accelerated as quickly as he could before she’d notice.
“Oh and Potter’s seen the snitch! It’s over there by Chang!” Bellowed Colin and Harry swore. Cho had turned around and was heading straight for it; she was miles ahead… Harry was just about to give up when the snitch suddenly went straight upwards and towards Harry, who somersaulted on his broom and pursued the snitch.
Harry zigzagged through chasers and bludgers never taking his eyes off that small golden ball. Cho was close behind him, but she found it difficult to work her way through all the other players so fast. The Slytherin beaters had seen him and were bashing the bludgers constantly his way, he was so busy avoiding them Cho was able to catch up.
Neck and neck, Harry and Cho flew over and around the stadium desperately, waiting for the snitch to move in advantage to one of them. Harry leaned down on his broom and the natural speed of the Firebolt enabled him to go slightly ahead. Cho screamed in annoyance. The snitch moved to the left in advantage to Cho but Harry swerved in front of her blocking the way. One of the Slytherin beaters aimed a bludger directly in Harry’s path, but his urge to catch the snitch stopped him from moving out the way. There was a sharp intake of breath from everyone in the stadium and a second later, Harry’s fingers closed around the struggling snitch and the bludger smashed straight into the side of his head.
Silence.
Ginny screamed as she watched Harry fall slowly to the ground. dun dun dun!!!
