The Ketchums in Hogwarts

Rogue BLUDGERS!!!!!

Ash's P.O.V

Apparently we were going to make a polyjuice potion to find out if Malfoy was actually up to all of this stuff. It should be done in about a few months, so Alice will be able to pitch in and help.

Although ever since the pixie episode Lockhart hasnt brought in anymore animals, instead he forcefully had Harry reaact the scenes if his adventures. Ron and I made an agreement he hadn't done any of that stuff. It was a little sad to watch Harry suffer...

Pikachu and I woke up early,today was our first Quidditch match with Slytherin!! Harry and Ron were still sleeping,so I woke them up.

"Wake up wake up Harry,Ron,we got a match today!!" I urged,Pikachu squeaking his name from my shoulder.

Harry reluctantly stood up and started changing into his Quidditch robes, I did the same. When I put my head through the neckhole Pikachu was holding up my hat.

"Thanks buddy." I beamed, putting on the hat. Pikachu smiled then climbed onto my shoulder.

Together Harry and I walked over to the Gryffindor team room, or whatever you call it.

Since Alice can't play today fourth year named Roselina was playing,she had short blond hair with pale green eyes,she was short,but she was just as great with the Quaffle. Wood was in front of us trying to motivate ourselves.

"Slytherin may have better brooms than us," he began."No point denying it. But we've got better people on ours. We've trained harder than that group,and tackled through tough weather-"

"So true,"George muttered from beside me,"I haven't been properly dry since September."

"-and we're going to make them rue the day they let that little bit of slime,Malfoy,buy his way onto their team." He turned over to Harry with a look of emotion,"It'll be all down to you Harry. To show them that a seeker has to have something more than a rich father. Get to that Snitch before Malfoy or die trying. Because we have to win today Harry,we've got to." Wow....dramatic much?

"No pressure Harry." Fred said,patting Harry's back and winking. I placed a hand on Harry's shoulder,"Just do your best out there. And do Alice a favor,kick Malfoy's butt for her." Harry chuckled slightly,"Okay...I'll try."

We walked onto the Quidditch field,a uproar came the second we came into view. Ron and Hermione were up in the stands with Absol and Hagrid. Alice didn't want Absol to be cooped up like her so she had him follow either Hermione or me. Hermione doesn't seem to mind,she likes Absol's company.

Madame Hooch made Flint and Wood shake hands,but by the looks of Wood's face Flint was crushing his hand. When they parted we mounted our brooms,Madame Hooch put her whistle near her lips.

"On my whistle....3....2....."

The crowd roared louder as we all flew off, Pikachu gripped onto me tightly so he wouldn't fall off. "Let's do this Pika-WAHH!!!" A Bludger nearly chopped off my head. I nearly fell off of my broom,but,when my vision focused again I saw the Bludger coming back. Pikachu and I yelped,the broomstick flew us away before it could knock our heads off.

"Careful Ash!!"Fred shouted,knocking the Bludger away using his club as it redirected it's path back to us. I caught a glimpse of Harry and George having the same problem.
"These -Bludgers-Have-Been-Tampered!!"Fred wheezed,we flew next to Harry and George. "No kidding!" I shouted. Lee Jordan just announces that Slytherin had 60 points,and we had nothing nada zip gone!!! "We need a timeout!!"

George motioned for a timeout. The second our feet touched the ground Wood started a rant about the match so far..

"We're being flattened,Fred,George,where were you when that Bludger stopped Angelina from scoring?" He said with a mad face. For safety reasons Pikachu and I started backing away.

"We were 20 feet above her trying to stop the Bludgers from murdering these two-or three." George replied angrily,pointing at Harry,Pikachu,and me. All three of us chuckled nervously,I waved my hand slightly. "Someone fixed it. It won't leave them alone, it hasn't gone for someone else all game. The Slytherins must've tampered with them."

"But the Bludgers have been locked in Madame Hooch's office since last practice. There's no way for anyone to have tampered with them."

Out of the corner of my eye Madame Hooch was striding over towards our huddled group. Over her shoulder was the Slytherin team jeering and pointing in their direction.
"Alright team time to get out to the field. Let's go."Madame Hooch turned her heel and started walking away.

"Wait,we're still going out there? With the murdering Bludgers?!" I asked,Pikachu spoke his name nervously,I grabbed him and placed him in front of me. "Maybe you should sit this one out bud." I spoke,"Just in case. I'll be fine." Pikachu reluctantly nodded his head,then left to Ron and Hermione.

"I'll see you if we survive Ash." Harry spoke,mounting on his broom. I chuckled as I mounted mine,"And to you too. "

The whistle was blown, I managed to grab a hold of the Bludger as I sped off towards the Slytherin Poles. Flint and his teammate Chase were by my sides,by the looks on their faces they were making a silent plan. Knowing what they were gonna do, I pulled back so they crashed into each other.

"Ash over here!" It was Angelina,she was wide open in front of the stands filled with Gryffindors. I threw the Quaffle to her just as a Slytherin tried to ram into me. Gosh if he was any closer we'd be like Flint and Chase who were trying to entangle out of each other. The Gryffindors cheered louder, we just scored a goal!! Suddenly,something rammed into my ribs,and everything went dark.

Something stepped onto me;Pikachu. No one that small can step onto me without doing any damage. The sounds of cheering were echoing from the Quidditch Field. Something licked onto my cheek.

"Hi bud."

"What happened?Why are you here?" I opened my eyes,Alice was standing over me with her hands on her hips. A grim look was on her face (Pretend it's Hilda in pic above).

"All I remember is a Bludger chasing me,Harry too,we scored few goals,then something crashed into my ribs." I spoke truthfully,sitting up. We were in the hospital wing,the bed In front of the one we were sitting in had books sitting on it's night stand with a sketch pad on the bed.

"Let me see."

Alice lifted my shirt slightly,I felt myself go red. Alice took notice.

"Really Ash? I'm your sister,it's nothing like that." She spoke softly,then examined my ribs. I craned my neck slightly,the sight made me wince.

It was dark purple,and black. It was shaped more like a circle,but it was hard to tell because it was covered in bandages. From the looks of it I broke more than a few ribs,though it would be able to heal....hopefully.....

"It doesn't look that bad." Alice muttered as she lowered my shirt.
"That bad!?THAT BAD?!" I said in disbelief.
"I've seen worse mind you." She spoke,but trailed off when the sounds of crowds roaring died. Seconds later Harry,Hermione,Ron,and Absol rushed into the room. And....

"What happened to your arm Harry?!"
