The sun was shining. The five of us had finished our rushed breakfast and were just entering the quidditch field. We had 15 or so minutes till the game officially started so Jack and I headed off to our changing rooms and Merida to her's, while Hiccup and Repunzel went up to the bleachers.
I was putting on my arm guards over my jersey and cape while Jack fastened his shin guards. He grabbed his gloves and handed me my fingerless ones. "You sure you want to wear fingerless gloves ? what if it stings when you catch the snitch cause you're flying so fast?" he jokingly asked, standing in front of me as I sat on the bench fastening the last strap on my shin guards. "Then it stings and I get over it and we win the game." I smiled at him, standing, "unlike my dear brother here, who can't stand a couple light prods in the stomach." I teased poking him in the stomach a few times, making him squirm a bit. He grabbed my hands, stopping me as the rest of the team started to file in.
We sat on one of the benches out of the way of the others and waited till we could go out to the field. Flint gave a blunt speech about how we had to win and that Jack better contribute to the team as the new chaser. He then went on about how I better beat that "Potter boy" to the snitch.
We finally exited the locker room and started the game. It was a tough one. Lee Jordan was the commentary and he had some beef against Slytherin, and was being quite biased against Slytherin, but I thought it was funny.
Professor McGonnical did not, however, "So – after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating –" "Jordan!" growled Professor McGonagall. "I mean, after that open and revolting foul –" " Jordan, I'm warning you –" "All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone, I'm sure".
Harry Potter was fast and good, really good, but so was I. Slytherin was up by 161 points thanks to Jack and Harry's broom which appeared to be jinxed for a bit. All I had to do was catch the snitch to end the game. I spotted it flying over the Gryffindor section of the bleachers. I quickly looked to see where Harry was. He was way above me so he could get a good view of the field. He would definitely see me go for the snitch. I would have to be quick, really quick to beat him to the snitch. I took my chance and slowly moved towards the snitch hoping that to Harry I looked like I was just moving to a better position. Sadly that hope was quickly squashed as from the stands came the shouting voice of Hermione "Harry the Snitch!" Now with everyone paying attention to both me and Harry, I had no choice but to bolt towards the snitch, which had moved towards the commentary booth at Hermione's shout. Harry and I were soon neck and neck. Twisting, turning, and diving after the snitch. Twice we both had to duck or roll out of the way of a bludger or another player who happened to be in the way.
I heard it before I felt it.
A bludger rammed into me sending me forward into Harry; sending us both off our booms. Luckily we weren't very high above the ground. I landed hard on my arm, too hard. It was broken and dislocated at the least.
Harry seemed fine.
He sat up then it appeared that he was going to puke. Holding his hands in front of his mouth, he spat out the snitch. He held it up in the air ending the game.
Jack and Merida flew down landing next to me "You okay Rev?" Jack asked, looking at my arm "with a little help from Madam Pomfrey, yeah I'll be fine." I smiled up at him holding out my good arm, so he could help me stand up. "Close call game, aye Merida ?" she smiled "Aye." There was now a huge gathering around Harry, a bunch of people, asking him all sorts of questions. "We won though, right?" I asked, turning to Jack "by 11 points" he replied looking at the growing crowd of people. Repunzel and Hiccup suddenly appeared out of the crowd "never thought we'd get through that, phew." Repunzel exclaimed then promptly gasped at the sight of my arm "Revna come on let's get somewhere quieter and I'll heal that." she urged tugging me along by my good arm "can her hair heal bones though ?" I heard Hiccup asking Merida "Punz my broom!" I exclaimed " I have it Rev, don't worry." Jack stated holding it up. We reached the Slytherin locker rooms. Hiccup waited outside. Repunzel wrapped my arm in her hair and sang. It was still a little numb afterward so Merida and Repunzel helped me take off my Quidditch gear.
We waited for Jack to take off the rest of his gear then all five of us headed to the hospital wing to get my arm checked out for safe measures. We passed a few of the students who were leaving the stands overhearing some of them talking about the close call of the game Slytherin won by 11 points.
"Oh good, I thought they might have changed the score because of the huge crowd around Potter." Hiccup sighed in relief. "Too bad most of our team plays dirty." I replied, "Aye, indeed." agreed Merida.
We got to the hospital wing without too much trouble. Got turned around but asked a kindly ghost for directions, Nearly Headless Nick to be exact. He didn't seem to be fond of me and Jack, due to our Slytherin colors but Merida and Hiccup insisted that we were good, just a little mischievous.
