quidditch

just wanted to say thank you for 50K, it means the world to me ❤️ will be back to requests after this one :D

i love harry potter aus so i thought this would be fun! also stream 'gone' and 'on the ground' ;)

the annual ravenclaw vs hufflepuff quidditch match has come once again and i'm both extremely nervous and extremely excited. my team have been practising for months and we're ready to kick some hufflepuff ass. now don't get me wrong, i love hufflepuff - i have a special connection to a few people from that house - but we're still going to kick their asses. i'm not going to go easy on them just because i might have a crush on one of them.

just because rosie, the cutest girl in the world, happens to be in hufflepuff house and always sends me winks across the hall does not mean i'm going to let her house win. it doesn't matter how much she makes my heart flutter when she flirts with me, it's quidditch over girls any time.

the day of the match, my team and i are warming up on the sidelines when suddenly i feel a tap on my shoulder. i turn my head and try to hide my surprise at seeing rosie there.

"just wanted to say good luck," she says, reaching out to run a hand down my arm. i can tell she's trying to get in my head and psyche me out but i'm not going to fall for it. i'm not going to let those pretty eyes and rosy cheeks mess me up.

"you're wishing the opposing team good luck?" i ask, a smirk on my face.

"you're gonna need it, hufflepuff have been practicing for months on end," she says.

"oh, rosie, if anyone needs luck it's you guys. i don't hold back."

her eyes flash with mischief and she leans in until our faces are centimetres away.

"i wouldn't want you to," she whispers. her eyes drop down to my lips and i can't stop my sharp intake of breath. is she going to kiss me? does she want to kiss me? i really want to kiss her.

"hey, back off our seeker, you're gonna psyche her out," my team captain, junmyeon, says, gently pushing rosie away from me.

"oh no, i wouldn't want to do that," rosie says sarcastically. she looks back at me and with a wink she runs off to sit with her friends in the stands.

"don't let her get into your head, (y/n), we're counting on you," seulgi says, patting me on the back.

"she's not in my head," i insist, despite knowing that's the opposite of the truth.

we're called to get into position so both teams mount our brooms and fly up to prepare for the game to begin. once settled, i sneak a glance over to where i know rosie is sitting and find her staring right at me, visibly smirking. i roll my eyes, hoping she can see it, then force myself to focus back on the game.

the first twenty minutes or so go smoothly, both teams scoring and racking up points, but then i catch a glimpse of gold in the corner of my eye and suddenly it's my time to shine. i race off after the snitch and of course the hufflepuff seeker follows close after. i'm still slightly ahead so i surge forward as much as possible and stretch out my arm to try and reach the snitch. i can hear the excited murmurs of students and professors around me but it's easy to block out with how focused i am. my fingers are brushing against the tiny ball and just a little more will-

suddenly my right arm goes numb and before i realize what's happening i'm tumbling down to the ground. there are gasps from the stadiums as people realize what happened but all i can think about is if i managed to catch the snitch or not. i honestly have no idea, i really can't feel anything.

when i hit the ground and the wind is knocked out of me, i feel my head go fuzzy for a second. i still have no feeling in my arm and i'm too scared to look, worried i'll see something i don't want to. people begin to run over to me and i can hear the occasional word that helps me understand what happened. it's mainly 'bludger came out of nowhere', 'completely smashed bones', 'bent wrong' and it's making me want to shiver. i hate broken bones more than anything.

the nurse reaches me first and begins to move my arm around, asking me if i can feel anything. i shake my head as an answer, not trusting that i'd be able to speak, and she frowns sympathetically at me.

"we have to get her to the infirmary," she says to the headmaster. i feel myself lifted into the air and as i'm being taken away, my eyes meet rosie's in the stands again. i see a worried frown on her face so quickly i send her a smile to let her know i'm okay. the last thing i see before i'm taken off the pitch is her mouth 'i'll come see you', making my heart leap in my chest.

i must have fallen asleep, or been put to sleep, at some point because i wake up fully bandaged in the hospital with my friends and teammates surrounding me.

"you're awake!" irene says catching sight of me.

"i'm awake," i reply.

"how do you feel?" junmyeon asks, walking over to run a hand over my hair. as he's my best friend and basically the father of the team, i just smile at him.

"i'm okay. my arm aches a little but other than that i'm fine."

"only aching a little is good considering what happened," the head nurse says as she appears beside me.

"how long until she can use it again?" seulgi asks.

"it'll be a few days at the least. she needs to rest for a bit while her bones heal." the nurse hands me a cup of liquid so i down it, glad to taste that it's just water. "now, let's give her some space."

my teammates begin to leave with words of encouragement and soon it's just me and junmyeon.

"did we lose?" i ask.

he frowns and my stomach drops when he nods. "only by about 50 points."

"did jungwoo catch the snitch?"

"no, he tried to help you so no one caught it. they just ended it with the points we had beforehand."

that makes me feel a tiny bit better so i just nod, dropping my head back onto my pillow.

"you have another visitor by the way," junmyeon says, grinning down at me. i hear a ruffle from my left side so i turn my head and break out into a smile seeing rosie sitting on the bed beside me. "i'll let you two talk."

junmyeon leaves and rosie immediately takes his spot beside my head. i can still see traces of worry on her face so i lift my uninjured hand up and she immediately takes it.

"i'm okay," i whisper.

"i know, it's just..." her eyes drop down to my hand as she takes a deep breath. "i was so scared when that bludger hit you, knowing i couldn't do anything. i wanted to help you so bad."

it's really sweet what she's saying but i'm also a little uncomfortable with the sudden seriousness considering our usual relationship so i feel like i have to tease her a little. "what, do you like me or something?"

she laughs but there's still a sense of sadness behind it.

"if you haven't figured out that i like you by now then there's no hope for you," she says.

i knew she liked me, it was kind of obvious, but hearing her actually say it made me happier than i could have imagined.

"i like you, too, you know," i say.

"oh, i know. you look at me so much i figured you either really liked me or just have a staring problem."

i giggle and it warms my heart when it makes her smile.

"well, i like you."

"good."

she takes a seat on the chair beside me and leans in to run her fingers through my hair.

"if i'd known that getting hurt would finally get you to confess then i would've done it a long time ago," i joke.

"don't say that," she says, shaking her head. "you're never allowed to get hurt again, okay? as your new girlfriend i won't let you."

i smirk. "girlfriend?"

"girlfriend."

using my left hand, i gently cup the back of her neck and pull her into a kiss. it's a gentle kiss, lasting only a few seconds, but when we pull away we're both grinning like we just won the lottery.

"so...does this mean you're going to start cheering for ravenclaw."

"you wish."

i hope you guys found this cute!
