A Year Of Magic Vol.1

Chapter 9 Let the game begin and end

Harper took a break from the game and watched the end of the game. She thought it was best to watch from the stands because she had asthma and needed a break from the game. Harper was at her spot at the stands right in between Ginny and Neville. She spotted Alondra standing on her broomstick probably trying to look fearless "Isn't she terrified that she might fall" Ginny said with confusion in her voice "I hope she doesn't fall" Neville said trying not to worry "She won't besides she practices stunts like this since before first year and she gotten great at them no surprise to that" Harper said proudly with a wide grin "Oh hehe right" Ginny giggle's softly "Oh the game is about to begin!" Neville said with excitement in his voice yet still concerned for Alondra's safety. Harper saw her twin brother Harry and cheered with everyone as well as Ginny and Neville. Both teams from different sides met face to face with each other. The intensive game ended with Ravenclaw winning 230 to 90. After the game Alondra meets up with Harper and the team and she tells them she's planning a party in the Ravenclaw common room for the victory they had but wants to invite the Gryffindor team for they played a fair game. Alondra meets up with Harper, Hermione, and Ginny at the library after the Gryffindor team said that they would attend the Ravenclaw party. The girls were standing in their usual spot, In the back of the library one row before the first book shelf of the restricted section started "So Alondra tell us, what happened last night at the Slytherin party?" Ginny asked Alondra carefully making sure no one was around to hear because the party was a secret Slytherin only party that Draco snuck Alondra and Harper into but some nicer Slytherins never told a soul and were alright with them being there "Uh...Harper do you want to take this?" Alondra looked at Harper with a nervous glare and a chuckle in her voice "Oh...uhh...well Pansy still turned to stone right? No one fixed her yet?" Harper said with a nervous laugh "What you didn't that's agents school rules" Hermione said raising her voice a bit "Shush someone will here you Mionie" Ginny said trying to calm her down "Yeah this is a private conversation someone will hear you" Alondra said "Your right that was stupid of me I just got so gutter and were in a library so were meant to be quiet" Hermione said nervously looking around to see if anyone heard her or if a professor was lurking around "Mira lo siento pero ella estaba siendo una perra (Look I'm sorry but she was being such a bitch)" Alondra said in frustration "She said Pansy insulted her and I so she had to do something" Harper translated in a much appropriate way making it seem like that was what Alondra actually said. Neville walked by when he heard Alondra speak Spanish to the girls "Oh Hi everyone did I interrupt you all in the middle of something?" Neville asked in a shy and nervous tone "Of course not my sweet boy, what is it you need?" Alondra said, cheering Neville up and patting him on the shoulder "Oh well um Harper and Alondra, Luna told me to tell you to look for her in the forbidden forest today. She needs help feeding the thestrals also to bring extra raw meat from the kitchen but say it's for Luna Lovegood so the sheds won't think of anything suspicious" Neville told Alondra and Harper "Ok thanks Nev" Harper said as she walked off with Neville to the kitchen "Ok well talk about this later" Alondra told Ginny and Hermione "Oh one last thing if any of you tell anyone what I said to Neville I'll use the cruciatus curse on you both" Alondra told them violently as she walked away "That's agents the law remember that" Hermione yelled over to Alondra before she completely was out of sight "Oh Mione you and your rules I have my ways of making the ministry not suspect a thing you know" Alondra said walking away to meet up with Harper and Neville.

After their little trip to the kitchen, Alondra and Harper finally made it to the forbidden forest to meet up with Luna. As they walked up they saw Luna feeding and petting the thestrals "Wow wait how come we can see the thestrals but no one else can?" Harper said worried "Only people who have seen death can see thestrals" Luna said to Harper as she turned to face them "Yeah Harp like I witnessed my parents death just like Luna did with her mom and you and Harry with yours" Alondra trying to reassure Harper "For example Harry came out here with me the other day and helped me feed theses magical creatures and I explained how you and him can see thestrals because you both witnessed your mothers death" Luna said in a soft voice hopfully trying not to bring up any sad and bad memories "Please don't...bring her up..please" Alondra said trying to not have flashbacks of her mothers death. Witnessing that as a young child was hard enough for her "Let's change the subject shall we" Alondra said now looking down at the ground "Of course did you two bring the raw meat I requested Neville to tell you to bring?" Luna carefully asked in a soft voice trying to change the subject and not make Alondra or Harper feel worse then they already were "Yes of course we did also I've never feed a thestral before this should be exiting" Harper said sounding happier "I have many times back at home in my backyard forest" Alondra said holding out the meat "Ok I have enough for all of us to feed them" Alondra said giving Luna and Harper each piece of meat. After hours of giggles and feeding thestrals it was time for the girls to part as nightfall was approaching. Luna decided to find her shoes because she mentioned to Harper and Alondra that they have mysteriously gone missing. So she thought if they were no wear in the castle maybe the nargles hid them in the forest. Alondra and Harper headed down to Hagrid's to meet up with Harper's twin brother Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione. They walked down to Hagrid's hut to meet the gamekeeper about the triwizard tournament "Sorry you all I wouldn't be botherin yer with this and the first so it is importin" Hagrid said apologizing to everyone "Oh it's no problem Hagrid" Alondra said "Yeah we always love coming to visit you" Harper said happily smiling. Hagrid made the students tea and brownies "No means to rush yer all but I got somethin to show you a real treat that's for sure!" Hagrid said in an exciting tone. Everyone got up and went to the forest with Hagrid "Hagrid what's this about?" Hermione asked with worry in her voice "Sorry yer lads if I seem suspicious" Hagrid said "Is this about the tournament about the first half?" Harry said looking at Hagrid "right you are Harry" Hagrid said smiling at him "Are we seeing the dragons!?" Alondra asked, getting more and more excited by the moment "yes yer right Alondra come on we need to hide behind the bushes so the guards won't see us" Hagrid told them in a whisper, hiding behind a bush in the forest "Wait we are!" Ron quietly yelled getting really scared and shaky making sure especially Hermione wouldn't notice. As they all watch the dragons and the guards feeding them, The Hungarian horntail dragon lets out a giant fireball after one of the guards poked it in the back with a stick " Hey he shouldn't have done that! He's hurting em!" Alondra whispered with anger in her voice "Oye Alondra keep it down they'll hear us" Ron said trying to contain Alondra's anger "Oh shut it Ron you know how I'm against creature cruelty" Alondra said making sure she was getting quieter "I agree with yer on that lad but we don't want to get caught now do weh" Hagrid said agreeing Alondra "Can we get closer I want to feed the dragons can we Hagrid please?" Alondra asked, making sure no one could hear them "Sure I brought some food and once the guards leave we can try to feed them. But be careful that horntail really is a stubborn creature but they all just wanna be loved but they are mistreated terribly so they might have a hard time trusting people" Hagrid told them all "They have trust issues" Alondra said "Animals are the closest to humans emotion wise" Harper said as everyone looked at her and Alondra. Alondra and Harper have a closer relationship to animals because they have an emotional connection because animals know the bitter, sad, unhappy, and depressing feeling that they've been through. For example witnessing their parents death. After all the guards finally left the dragons alone for a moment, everyone moved closer to the dragons. Later on after a few minutes of feeding the dragons Alondra and Harper feeling a close connection to the dangerous dragons including the horntail, it was finally time to get to bed for the night because curfew was about to pass. Alondra left the treo and Harper and walked over to the Ravenclaw common room to go to sleep. Harper, Harry, Hermione, and Ron also left Hagrid's and went to the Gryffindor common room and fell asleep for the night after their very long day.
