Weasley is our King
It was early morning and I was in the dorm with Luna
Today was the first Quidditch match of the season and she had been constructing a very...liony hat. I had helped of course, but, it was very extravagant. She even charmed if so it could roar on command - that's what gave her the funny idea on how to wake me this morning
"Bloody hell Luna" I commented as she put it on. She had a huge grin on her face as she motioned that she was leaving. Shaking my head I followed her out and down to the common room where we got several stares. I shrugged at the housemates and we all shared matching smiles. We then left the room and made our way out to the corridors
"I think you should show Gryffindor team spirit" Luna says looking at me
"I know but it's a bit hard when my cousin, who is as kind as he can be to me, is on the other team as me"
"You like Malfoy though" She says furrowing her eyebrows
"Well he's my cousin" I smile "And don't say 'just because he's your cousin doesn't mean you have to like him'. He's just kind to me and actually talk to me. Plus it's nice to know I've got actual family at school I can go to"
"Valid points" Luna shrugs as we enter the great hall
The two of us sit opposite Ginny who just has a hanging jaw from seeing the hat. We start eating our breakfast when I jump because Luna's hat unexpectedly roars. I turn my head to see her looking at Ron, Harry and Hermione before turning back again
Eventually we leave the hall and begin heading down to the pitch. This was then when we started noticing the Slytherins all wearing certain badges. I see Pansy and her lot
"Give me a second" I say to Ginny and Luna before going over to them
"Hey Ophelia" She kindly greets giving me a side hug
"Hey Pansy" I smile "What are you guys wearing?"
"Official merchandise" Daphne Greengrass smirks. I look at the badges that read 'Weasley is our king'
"Your joking?" I say looking at them. They shrug
"We just got told to wear them" Pansy explained
"Oh ok, well, I'm gonna go" I say. They all surprisingly give my goodbye hugs before letting my run over to Ginny and Luna again
"What does it say?" Ginny questions
"Don't freak out" I say making her furrow her eyebrows "Weasley is our king"
"Shit" She muttered "They've only done that to ruin Ron who's already nervous as it is"
"You know what" I say "Let's just leave it and not get involved"
She seems apprehensive to let it go however we just drag her up into the stands were Hermione joins us minutes later
"Have you seen the badges?" She asks
"Yeah" I reply
"It's absolutely barbaric" She exclaims
"There's nothing we can do Mione" I say squeezing her hand
After about ten minutes the teams come out and the games begin. Luna's hat roars however it is then overpowered by the Slytherin chants. I focus onto it listening to the words;
Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That's why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our King.
Weasley was born in a bin
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley will make sure we win
Weasley is our King.
Weasley is our King,
Weasley is our King,
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley is our King
I just sighed trying to unmute myself turning back to the game. It seemed as if it was getting to Ron because he was missing blocks and allowing the quaffle in
Eventually the game does come to an end as Harry catches the snitch. He then flies back down. Suddenly I see Draco shouting at them
"Shit" I say then pushing past everyone else to get onto the field. Hermione follows me whilst Ginny and Luna stay up in the stands. We get over to the crowd where it's Draco
"Saved Weasley's neck, haven't you?" he said to Harry "I've never seen a worse Keeper...but then he was born in a bin... did you like my lyrics, Potter?"
Harry didn't respond to him and only walked away
"Draco don't" I glared
"We wanted to write another couple of verses!"Malfoy called ignoring me, as Katie and Alicia hugged Harry "But we couldn't find rhymes for fat and ugly. We wanted to sing about his mother, see-"
"Talk about sour grapes" said Angelina, casting Malfoy a disgusted look
"Draco I said don't" I repeated approaching him
"-we couldn't fit in useless loser either for his father, you know-"
Fred and George had realised what Malfoy was talking about. Halfway through shaking Harry's hand, they stiffened, looking round at Draco also watching as I stared at Draco in disbelief
"Leave it!" said Angelina at once, taking Fred by the arm "Leave it, Fred, let him yell, he's just sore he lost, the jumped-up little-"
"-but you like the Weasleys, don't you, Potter?" Draco sneered "Spend holidays there and everything, don't you? Can't see how you stand the stink, but I suppose when you've been dragged up by Muggles, even the Weasleys' hovel smells OK-"
Harry grabbed hold of George. Meanwhile, it was taking the combined efforts of Angelina, Alicia and Katie to stop Fred leaping on Draco, who was laughing openly. Harry and I looked around for Madam Hooch, but she was still berating Crabbe for his illegal Bludger attack
"Or perhaps" said Draco, leering as he backed away "you can remember what your mother's house stank like, Potter, and Weasley's pigsty reminds you of it-"
I gasped in shock at what Draco just said suddenly I felt two bodies push past me
'Harry! HARRY! GEORGE! NO!'
My hands went to my forehead as I watched the brawl commence. It was Harry and George going after Draco
I could hear girls' voices screaming, Draco was yelling, George was swearing, a whistle blowing and the bellowing of the crowd around us, but they did not care. Not until somebody in the vicinity yelled 'Impedimenta!' and they were knocked over backwards by the force of the spell, did they abandon the attempt to punch every inch of Draco that they could reach
"What do you think you're doing?"screamed Madam Hooch, as Harry leapt to his feet. It seemed to have been her who had hit him with the Impediment Jinx; she was holding her whistle in one hand and a wand in the other; her broom lay abandoned several feet away. Draco was curled up on the ground, whimpering and moaning with his nose bloody. George was sporting a swollen lip and Fred was still being forcibly restrained by the three Chasers and Crabbe was cackling in the background "I've never seen behaviour like it. Back up to the castle, both of you, and straight to your Head of House's office! Go! Now"
Harry and George turned on their heels and marched off the pitch, both panting, neither saying a word to the other
"Draco what the hell" I say looking down at him "Why did you do that?"
He just looked at me "They deserved it"
"They did not" I glare crouching down to him looking at him in just disgust "That was cruel what you said"
"Yeah well go and calm down your boyfriend and leave me here, your own cousin" He spat
"Draco Malfoy your are loosing that title as my cousin with this horrendous attitude that you continue belittle my friends with" I scoff "And you wanna know something?"
"What?"
"Just this morning was I defending you"
