The Potter Twins and the Philosopher's Stone [Draco Malfoy x OC]

CHAPTER 19

ELYSIA'S POV

After I got myself back into the game, Harry's broom turned wild as mine a moment ago.

Helping him isn't an option for me as a Bludger kept coming toward me... or rather it was chasing me. Peregrine was on the other side of the pitch, trying to hit the other bludger.

"Woah...!" Harry yelped, holding tight to his broom with his right hand.

My eyes widen. I flew towards him as quickly as I could but I have to make a turn when the Bludger almost hit the professors' seats, so, I rushed there and hit it away--  What is this smell? I turned my gaze and saw Professor Snape, I caught a quick glance of him muttering something but my focus was more on his cloak that is on fire.

"Professor Snape! Your cloak! It's burning!!" I yelled.

He quickly stop muttering and jumped over his seat to put the fire out. He accidentally knocked another professor out of his seat. I sighed in relief when the fire got put out successfully without injuring anyone, well except that professor that got knocked down.

I took a deep breath before getting ready to continue playing the game. It seems like Harry got his broom back under his control and now tried to get up on it.

"Thank god, he's saved,--Woah!!" I shouted as a Bludger zoomed towards me. Fortunately, I manage to hit it on time! I saw George fly near me, laughing "Are you trying to kill me?!"

"What?!" He shouted dramatically, faking his reaction. "N-no way I would do that!"

"Oh, I see," I laughed as I hit one towards him. "Oops! My hand slipped."

Then, Harry and Terence flew above us. They are chasing the Golden Snitch!

Both of them zoom down towards the ground to catch it, but, Terence hesitantly pulled himself up at the very last minute. Harry, on the other side, continued to dive down.

He started standing on his broom to catch it. He extended his arm. He lost his balance and suddenly fell.

I looked around when I lost the sign for the Golden Snitch. Maybe we still had the chance to catch it--

"Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch!" Jorden Lee cheered, "Gryffindor gain 150 points!!!" 

I looked back at Harry and saw the Golden Snitch on his palm.

"Damn, he almost shallow that thing..." Terence said as she flew next to me. "Never saw a lad catching the Golden Snitch using their mouth."

"W-What?" I said as I didn't see how he caught it.

"Gryffindors win!" Madam Hooch finally announced.

We lost by 180 - 130. 

The Gryffindors players cheered as we landed on the ground. We wait for them to do the same so we can shake their hand. Let's get this over with...They finally land after cheering on and on. Oliver ran from the Gryffindor meeting room and hug Harry, cheering loudly despite getting knocked down earlier.

"Enough," Madam Hooch cleared her throat, "Shake hands."

We shake hands.

"Hm, congrats..." I congratulated Harry and Oliver quickly before catching up with the others in our meeting room.

"We were so close...!" Marcus shouted in anger, throwing his broom.

"Screw Potter, ugh!" Adrian said, punching the strategy board.

"Ouch," I laughed bitterly.

They turned to me, surprised. As if they forgot I was on the team.

"Sorry, Elysia" They mumbled. I brushed it off and took a sit on the bench.

"It's nothing. I'm just kidding." I said, and looked on the floor, "I hope I played well enough for the team?"

"You were great out there. Never see a first-year Beater like you, Elysia."

"I agree with Flint," Graham nodded his head.

"You know, I always want a little sister," Marcus walked towards me and then pat my back.

"Me too," Miles chuckles.

"Same here," Peregrine put his arm on Miles's shoulder.

"Just remember we're a family here, both as teammates and housemates!" Marcus said.

"I already have a brother, but I appreciate the gesture!" I smiled. "It was a good game, I guess... We lost but it was an amazing experience for me. Besides, Harry didn't catch it, he nearly swallowed it."

The seven changed and walked back to the common room.

The door swung open after we gave it the password--

"Congratulation...!"

I looked around; Students are gathering in the common room with some food and drinks. 

"I-- I don't understand. We lost?" I said.

Rune appeared next to me. He patted my back as he says, "You guys were so close! I bet if Potter took just a little few more seconds to realise the Snitch, we totally had won!"

"Yeah!!!" the room cheered, agreeing with Rune.

"See?" Marcus swung his hand on my shoulder, "You have a big family supporting you!"

"Elysia...!" A few voices called. It's Draco, Laura, Ariana, Pansy, Zabini, Crabbe and Goyle.

"Guys!" I ran towards them and hugged them.

"You did great!" They said simultaneously.

"Thank you!"

Then, the older students snuck up some drink called "Butterbeer" for them and they poured various kinds of sweets all over the table for the younger ones.

How nice... I like it here. It feels like having a big family.
