Light in the Dark // Sebastian Sallow

Last Quidditch Game

(Sebastian)

"Alright team!" Imelda shouts in the locker room to shut us up.

"It's our last game of the season. We win this and we win the cup! I need all of your heads in THE GAME TODAY. We have been practicing NON STOP. Winning today brings us the best win we can get. LETS GO TEAM." Imelda grabs her broom and heads out the door.

I put on my gloves and follow the team. Gripping my broom tightly. I zone everything out. I zone out all roar of people cheer, the other team, my teammates. It's just me and my broom. I mount my broom, and I hear the whistle blow. I kick off into the air and zoom up high. Searching for the snitch. Where is the blasted thing. I see Garreth watching my every move.

I listen to the announcer who I realize is Lucan this game "Gryffindor Scores! 10 more points! 80/40 Gryffindor is on fire today!"

I stare daggers at my team, what are they doing? Now I have to watch for the snitch and make sure Garreth doesn't get to it at all. Garreth is watching for the Snitch frantically knowing this is his chance to get it and win the cup.

Shit.

I need a distraction.

I spot the snitch way behind Garreth, so I race across the field and Garreth follows thinking I have found the snitch. What a dumbass. How many times have I don't this trick?

I'm racing under the the wooden planks close to the seats. I fly and zoom across the field again zooming all the way up with Garreth still on my tail. I try to listen to what Lucan says 80/70. I aim straight for the ground at this point racing as fast as I can

I pull up last second but Garreth has just enough to time slow himself down but hits the ground flipping. He's out. The game is on me now. I smirk to myself heading all the boo's coming from the Gryffindor team.

"80/100 wow slytherin what a come back, however Sallow that was a lowball you just okay on Weasley there you sly dog!" I hear Lucan say and I chuckle to myself.

I look all over the field and see the snitch by the Professor Seats. I race as fast as I can over to them and Catch the Snitch! WE WON!

"Sallow has Caught the Snitch! Slytherin was won the Cup! Congratulations to the Slytherin team." Lucan says disappointment in his voice. He is a Gryffindor so I could see why he'd be disappointed.

I race to the field and my team is lifting Imelda up In the air.

I feel arms wrap around me and see my beautiful Athena smelling of her lavender I love so much. She grabs my face and kisses me. I feel my world slow down as I take in that delicious kiss of hers. She tastes of mint. I love her mint. "You did amazing bash'" she shouts over the crowd trying to get to me to congratulate me on the win. I take her waste and make sure she doesn't leave my side. I don't want to lose her in this crowd.

The party in the common room is over whelming. I'm not a partier by any means. Honestly I'd rather just go to my room and keep reading the book I was forced to put down to go to this game. However, Athena seems to be having a blast.

Watching her talk with Natty, Imelda, and Poppy just brings me joy. I'm standing by the fire place admiring her when I feel a presence come up next to me.

"I suppose a congratulations are In order." Greengrass says with a drink in his hand.

"Piss off. I don't need you to congratulate me on a game." I say with gritted teeth.
