Navigating Hogwarts

Chapter 20

It was a Saturday, which meant game day. Today Gryffindor played against Hufflepuff, so I went to the game to support Harry and the twins.

While standing at the field, searching for my brother, I suddenly felt someone hugging me from behind.

"Great to see you here" it was Fred.

"Keep in mind that I have not forgiven the two of you yet"

"I wouldn't expect you to, of course"

"Good luck with the game, even after the last event, I hope you guys win!"

"Of course, we will" it was now George turn to give me a hug, "we've got our lucky charm here" he pet my head.

"You're welcome. - Hey Harry!" Harry also came to us with his broom in is hand. "McGonagall gave it back?" I was just as surprised as the others.

"Yes just in time for the game!"

"I'm sure you guys will win now"

"Let's hope so"

A loud whistle could be heard all over the field, meaning the game was going to start in a couple of minutes.

"I'm going to find a seat!" I gave Harry a quick hug. Yes. Still an awkward hugger. "You can do it, good luck!"

The game was about to start so I went to one of the bleachers and set down around some Gryffindors I've never met in my life. I tried to blend in by wearing a dark red jumper but the guys sitting next to me looked at me like I was an alien or something, quiet irritating if you ask me. Luckily the girl on my other side was actually nice.

"Which team are you supporting?" She asked me.

I pointed at the red jumper I was wearing, "Gryffindor of course"

"Well, then it's great meeting you!" The girl held out her hand, "I'm Elle"

"Skye" I wanted to shake her hand, but she pulled my hand into a hug.

"I know" she winked, "so, who's your favorite player?"

Elle was pretty nice; she was two years above Harry in Gryffindor and was a huge fan off Quidditch, but never tried out for the team herself. I think she has a crush on Fred because she couldn't stop talking about him, but that might just be my opinion.

The game didn't take long, Harry found the golden snitch within half an hour of the game.

"Congrats!" I said to Elle as everyone was cheering for Gryffindor.

"Thanks! Now we only need to win from you guys" she cheered.

It was true, the next game would be Gryffindor against Slytherin, the big end game.

"So, Skylar," Elle pulled an arm around me, "you're coming to the after party?"

"After party?"

"In our dorm, yes. Didn't one of the boys invite you? I don't care, you can be my plus one! I like you!"

"That will be great, but I literally have nothing Gryffindor related to wear beside this red jumper"

"But I do"

"I can't just borrow your clothes; I know you for like 30 minutes"

"I don't see the problem?" She laughed, "come on, let's go"

I was back in the Gryffindor dorm, the last time I was here was during Christmas break (and when I kissed George, but let's not talk about that). Don't get me wrong, I love the Slytherin dorm, all dark dungeon vibes, but the Gryffindor dorm has something more playful, happier.
