Canine Lovers - an original Hogwarts fanfiction

Another Quidditch Match

Abby POV

The past few months flew by so fast that I can't remember half the things that happened: first, the Quidditch party. Ed asked me officially to be his girlfriend, and I was so happy. We went out on a few dates, mostly inside the castle and Hogsmeade.

And then we went together to the Ball on Christmas, in which we had a drunk fight and didn't talk to each other for days. But we made up and did THE THING, which was exciting to me since it was my first time.

And now here we are - end of March.

Everyone is excited for the new match season – Slytherin against Gryffindor – which always was a drama ever since the dawn of history.

And only I wasn't.

Why? Well, there's a bunch of reasons.

First, it's two lovers against each other. Believe it or not, Scorp and Rose still haven't asked each other out yet. Fell in love at 4th year but haven't kissed. As much as we tell them to make the move already, they just keep being in denial. But I'll deal with that.

Second, it's because I was with Ed. Shocker, but I'll be honest – we are constantly arguing, drowned in school work and Quidditch practice, and barely have time to talk things through. And the last time we kissed was a few weeks ago. But I can also deal with it eventually.

But third and most importantly, my best friends are leaving this year. I have only a few more months to spend with them and they'll never come back here. And here I am – playing Explosive Snap with my sister Amy and best friend Fred, not even in a Farewell Party, but still crying rivers.

"Abby stop", Amy repeated probably in the millionth time. "We talked about this! I hate to see you cry, really, focus on the game!"

"Abby, we told you we'll write every day and try to come visit Hogsmeade", Fred patted my shoulder. "Come on, cheer up!"

"How can I fucking cheer up", I shouted, making everyone in the Gryffindor Common Room lift their heads from whatever they were doing to watch my tantrum, "when you guys are leaving this castle for good and I'll be stuck here for- like-"

"2 more years", Louis completed me, "Just 2 more years, Abby, you'll survive".

"Says the one who'll leave me next year!" I sobbed louder, causing some kids to leave the Common Room. "I can't afford to lose you too!!! I'm asking Professor McGonnagall to move me up a grade right now!!" I got up from my chair when all 4 – Lou, Liv, Ame and Fred held me back. "Let go!!" I shouted, but they pinned me to the chair and sat me down.

"Listen, Abby", Olivia said loudly and sounded threatening. She never spoke like that, and I never saw that impatient side of hers, so I flinched. "We are all here giving up Quidditch practice just to be with you and spend as much time as we can to make you happy. So, you better change the attitude right now or we'll leave and not talk to you until last day of school," she gripped my wrist firmly and I flinched even more, "Is- that- clear?"

I nodded and wiped my tears away.

"Good", Louis said, kissing my forehead. He didn't do it for a long time, and I felt butterflies erupting inside my stomach. SNAP OUT OF IT!! A voice in my head said, and I obeyed reluctantly.

2 weeks later

It was finally the Slyffindor match day (A/N: and yes, I came up with the ship name, cuz Slytherin and Gryffindor are the best ship ever ^3^), and now, I couldn't be more excited.

I really hoped Scorpius would win, because he's an extraordinary seeker, oddly unlike his dad. He also taught me the best tactics to be the best seeker, told second-handed directly from Harry Potter and Charlie Weasley themselves. And also, he was also the kind, affectionate big brother I never had, beside Louis.
