Carina Black: Fanfic

Gryffindor Vs Ravenclaw 1994

Carina's POV

A lot has happened since Christmas. Hermione and I still haven't got our necklaces back until after term started. Neither did Harry get his Firebolt back until then. During the first week of classes I saw Harry having private patronus lessons with Professor Lupin. I had gone for a night flight to test my owl forms eye vision at night time. When I saw them through the window.

My team went against Slytherin the first week after the start of term. We narrowly lost. Which I was very bummed about. So we've trained even harder for our match against Gryffindor. But Gryffindor has also been training hard ever since Harry got his firebolt back.

Scabbers is apparently dead and Ron believes Crookshanks did it. Which is a lie as he was with Honoria, Snuffles and I by the lake. During the time Scabbers supposedly died. I still haven't come up with another name for him yet. I've been suggesting names, but he's liked none of them. So he's Snuffles until farther notice.

"Ready for today's match?" Cho asks me. I'm having breakfast with the other members of my team before the match.

"Yes" I state.

"No going easy on them" Roger tells me.

"Just because I'm friends with the twins and Harry. Doesn't mean I won't give the game my all" I tell him. "We're very competitive when it comes to quidditch" I state.

"Good, I want everyone to be doing their best" he states.

"We understand captain" we all says. We finish breakfast and grabbed our brooms. We head to the quidditch pitch together. We go to our changing room and Roger gives us the usual speech. After the speech we walked onto the pitch and were introduced by Lee Jordan the commentator. Gryffindor appeared and Rodger shook hands with Oliver Wood. We take to the skies and the balls are released. And the game begins.

I take possession of the quaffle. "They're off, and the big excitement this match is the Firebolt that Harry Potter is flying for Gryffindor. According to Which Broomstick, the Firebolt's going to be the broom of choice for the national teams at this year's World Championship" Lee explains. I roll my eyes.

"Jordan, would you mind telling us what's going on in the match?" McGonagall demands. As I go to pass the quaffle to Rodger. But it's intercepted by Katie Bell from the Gryffindor team.

"Right you are, Professor -- just giving a bit of background information -- the Firebolt, incidentally, has a built-in auto-brake and..." Lee starts to say.

"Jordan!" she says firmly.

"Okay, okay, Gryffindor in possession, Katie Bell of Gryffindor, heading for goal" Lee states. I pick up speed chasing after Katie with Rodger. Grant the keeper is in front of the center hoop and Duncan hits a bludger towards Alicia to stop her from helping Katie. But it didn't matter Katie managed to score a goal through the left hoop. Grant curses while Gryffindor cheer.

Jeremy grabs the quaffle and passes it to Rodger. We head towards the opposite end of the pitch. We do the thimblerig shuffle to keep the quaffle away from the gryffindor team. And to confuse them. Rodger ends up with it and throws it towards the gryffindor goals. But Oliver blocks it and Angelina takes possession.

(Time skip)

"Gryffindor leads by eighty points to zero, and look at that Firebolt go! Potter's really putting it through its paces now, see it turn -- Chang's Comet is just no match for it, the Firebolt's precision -- balance is really noticeable in these long" Lee says.

"JORDAN! ARE YOU BEING PAID TO ADVERTISE FIREBOLTS? GET ON WITH THE COMMENTARY!" McGonagall tells him annoyed. We finally get our act together and score the next three goals. Thank Merlin. But we can still lose if Cho doesn't get the snitch before Harry.

"HARRY, THIS IS NO TIME TO BE A GENTLEMAN! KNOCK HER OFF HER BROOM IF YOU HAVE TO!" Oliver shouts. I chuckle, she's doing her job of keeping him from getting it. But she still needs to catch it.

"Oh!" Cho screams and I look at her. To see her looking at the ground. I do so to see three dementors and grab my wand from my boot.

"Expecto Patronum" I say and my owl flies towards them with another patronus. They knock the dementors off their feet. As I'm hit by a bludger. "Damn it!" I growl as I hold my hurt shoulder with my wand hand trying to ignore the pain.

Madam Hooch's whistle sounded. Signalling the end of the game. I look up to see Harry has the snitch and groan. "That's my boy!" Oliver shouts as I land and dismount my broom. I see his whole team hugging him and smile.

"Are you ok Carina?" Cho asks me concerned.

"Not really" I tell her.

"Lets get you to Madame Pomfrey" she states. I nod and we leave the field together. "Rodger is going to be very annoyed that we lost again" she tells me.

"I know, but it happened" I tell her. "We gave it our all and it wasn't enough. We are still pretty new as a team. The gryffindor team have been playing together for over three years, aside from Harry" I remind her. "We've only been together as a team for a year" I state.

"Still we're not out of the competition for the Qudditch cup. We can only come third or fourth depending on points" she states. "I just hope Gryffindor beat Slytherin" she adds.

"Agreed" I tell her as we reach the hospital wing.

"What happened this time Miss Black?" Madame Pomfrey asks me.

"Bludger hit my shoulder" I tell her as I sit on one of the bed. She examines it and says it's broken. She fixes it and gives me some pain relief potion. And a sling.

"Keep in the sling for the weekend and take this if the pain comes back" she tells me handing me a vial of potion. "If it does, come back here for further examination" she states. I nod my head and thank her. Before leaving with Cho and we return to our tour. Where I shower and change out of my quidditch uniform. Before grabbing my school bag and go to the library to study.
