Diary,
Would it be wrong to set Draco Malfoy on fire? Would it be wrong to singe his bright obnoxious blond hair because I'm asking for a friend. I will throw him down the stairs one of these days.

Prompt: if today was your last day alive, what would you do?

Set Draco Lucius Malfoy on fire and throw him down the stairs.

Next question.

Cordelia.

"20 points to Gryffindor!" Zacharias Smith shouted over the microphone as flashes of green and red flew across the quidditch pitch.

Theodore tossed Blaise the quaffle and made his way over to the Gryffindor hoops. Ginny Weasley followed closely behind him waiting for the moment to intercept the deflated ball.

Cordelia was another chaser and she stayed close to Blaise so if he needed to pass it, she was there. Daphne Greengrass stayed back at the Slytherin hoops since she were a keeper. Pucey and Warrington were the two beaters. As for Draco, the seeker.

Pucey swung his bat at the Bludger and it came soaring towards Ron Weasley who guarded his hoops. Having little time to react he ducked and lost focus. Blaise threw the quaffle and Cordelia used the end of his broom to send it through the hoop. The Slytherin team laughed out in spite and their house cheered.

"There goes Burke giving 50 points to Slytherin!" Shouted Smith over the microphone.

Ginny got the quaffle and made her way back over to the opposite end. Warrington swung his small bat and directed the Bludger in her direction and nipped at the bottom of her broom and she wobbled and dropped the quaffle.

Cordelia caught it in her arm out from under her going at a quickening speed towards the hoops.

"Cordelia Burke with an impressive interception!" Smith shouted over the microphone.

She dropped down dodging Dean Thomas who came towards her who was trying to shove the ball out from her arms.

She watched out of the corner of her eye as Theo and Blaise followed closely behind her and Pucey continuously swinging Bludgers at Gryffindor.

Cormac McLaggen came speeding full force towards towards Cordelia plotting to shove her off her broom. Cordelia only sped up going directly towards him.

"Pass it Cordelia!" Shouted Theo but she ignored him. Cordelia snapped her head towards Theo as if she were to pass it to him but instead she forcefully threw the ball towards Cormac. At the angle and speed they were going at it only curved around Cormac and she caught it right back in her arms.

This move left the entire team and the stands in shock. All the Gryffindors were behind them at this point since few didn't know who had the quaffle at this point.

"Can anybody tell me what just happened?!" Smith commented equally as confused as the rest.

She threw the ball over to Blaise and he slapped it hard sending it into Theo's arms who wailed the ball into the middle hoop who Ron just missed.

"50 points to Slytherin!"

Cordelia turned back around and flew back towards the Gryffindor hoops following Dean who had the quaffle. Cormac swung his bat directing the Bludger in Cordelias direction. Warrington blocked her from the Bludger swinging his bat sending it up in the air away from her.

Theo came up to Dean and threw himself against Dean causing them both to fall from their brooms but Blaise Zabini intercepted the ball. Normally Gryffindor plays better than this.
