Darkness and Light - Snape's Daughter (Book 2)

Chapter 9

Lucy's POV

We invited a couple of people we thought might want to join to meet us in Hog's Head the following day.

Some people seemed skeptic and they soon were forced out of the room by Terence. One person suddenly spoke up, I recognised her to be Luna Lovegood.

"Is it true Harry can conjure a patronus?" She asked.

"Yes, and Lucy can too." Jennie answered. "They could teach us all how to." She quickly added.

"And Harry killed a Basilisk too." Neville added who was also in the small crowd of people who wanted to participate.

Then Harry spoke up for the first time. "Facing this stuff in real life is a lot different than learning about it in school. It is a whole lot more dangerous out there when one small mistake can get you or a friend killed." I knew he was referring to Cedric.

"That is why we need you to teach us, you have faced these dangers. And Lucy and Jennie have faced a considerable amount too and are extremely skilled at Defence against the dark arts." Hermione remarked.

I think everyone in that room was now convinced that it was important to join our group and they all signed their names on a sheet of paper. We also handed everyone a coin we had enchanted to let everyone know when the meetings of our club would be taking place to make it less obvious.

"We need a place for us to practice. If anyone finds a suitable place, please let us know." Harry announced before dismissing the group.

"I'm really excited for this." Jennie admitted and I was really glad to see that sparkle in her eyes return. Ever since she told me about her father being a death eater, she seemed to have lost the glow in her eyes and seemed down really often, not smiling half as much as she usually did. I'm sure she missed her mother a lot.

Two days later Neville approached us in the library and let us know he had found the perfect spot for us to train in. We followed him along the seventh floor corridor and out of nowhere a door appeared and as we entered it, it revealed a big hall that looked perfect for practice.

"Neville you've found the room of requirement." Hermione exclaimed. "It is a room that shows itself to those in need of it."

"This will definitely work." Harry said, just as excited as Hermione.

"Let us begin training next week Monday, we have quidditch tomorrow." Terence reminded.

Harry groaned a little but still with a smile on his face "I can't believe I have to play against my friend and my own half sister tomorrow."

"Well I am definitely placing my bets on Lucy to catch the snitch." Jennie announced with a wink in my direction and left the room.

—-Time Skip-—

"Nervous?" Terence teased.

"Very." I replied.

"Don't worry." A voice sounded behind me. "You proved your skill in practice, you will do great." It was Adrian Pucey. Him, Terence and another boy were the chasers.

The wooden doors opened in front of us, we all got onto our brooms and flew into the arena that was filled with cheering students and teachers.

I flew over in the direction of one of the teacher stands and gave my dad a small wave which he returned with a smile.

We then all lined up into our positions and waited for the balls to be released.

"The quaffle is released, the game now begins!" The announcer called as the quaffle was thrown into the air.

I flew around the stadium and scanned the area for the snitch. Points were being scored left and right while I was looking out for the small golden ball.

After some time, I spotted Harry chasing something. It must have been the snitch.

I made the decision to approach him from the front, if he was chasing the snitch that meant it was in front of him and would hopefully allow me to get it faster.

I was right, almost getting hit in the face by a bludger in the process but right as I dove down in front of Harry I cut him off and grabbed the snitch in my hand.

I almost fell off of my own broom, but managed to stay on and held the golden snitch up so the announcer and referee could see and end the game. The Slytherin team and our supporters who were watching all roared and Terence pulled me into a hug, causing me to almost fall off of my broom for the third time this game.
