Can't Catch Me Now / Severus Snape

11. Counter Curse

"Come on lets get to our seats- oh lucius, I didnt realize you would be here." Severus remarked. Lucius rose up.

"Yes I wanted to come to support your Harry." lucius agreed.

"While wearing green?" Lilith tsked and lucius looked at liliths own outfit. "Touché. I have never cheered for gryffindor. This just feels wrong but its my boy so Im going to cheer him on all season. But when hes not playing..."

"Slytherin better win." Severus agreed.

"But today..." lilith agreed holding to arias hand.

"Harrys gonna win!" Aroa declared.

"Hello, and welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game Slytherin versus Gryffindor!!!" Lee declared the crowd cheered out even more. "The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game."

"Now, I want a nice clean game...from all of you." Hooch declared looking pointedly as the Slytherins. She kicked the trunk, and the bludgers zoomed out.

"Here we go." Severus whispered as they got in to position.

"The bludgers are up...followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember, the snitch is worth 150 points. The seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game." Lee declared. The snitch zoomed around each Seeker's head, then disappears. Hooch grabbed the Quaffle.

"The Quaffle is released...and the game begins!" Lee shouted.

"Lets go Gryff- gah, the words just wont come out. Its stuck in my throat." Lilith mused.

"I completely understand." Lucius agreed. "What happens next year when draco is on the team?"

"I cheer for them both but harry is a legacy seeker." Lilith reminded him. Lucius rolled his eyes.

"It hasnt been one game yet. Lets not say hes a legacy yet." Lucius countered.

Gryffindor took possession of the ball and a chaser, Angelia Johnson, zoomed past the Slytherins towards their goal, and throws the ball, and scores! Ding.

"Angelina Johnson scores! 10 points for Gryffindor!" Lee declared, he pressed a button and a 10 shows up beside a plaque with Gryffindor's name.

Lilith looked to harry above. Harry, in the air, clapped for his team.

"Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint."

Flint dodges people and throws for the Gryffindor hoops. Oliver appears and whacks the ball away with his broom. He smirks at Flint, who glared in return. Johnson and Katie Bell pass the Quaffle back and forth as they strategize to score. Johnson took it, throws, and once again scores!

"Another 10 points to Gryffindor!"

"Im glad we are rooting for Gryffin... dor..." lilith choked out. "Slytherin is getting creamed."

The Slytherins decided to get messy. They dodge, kick, and try to score. Once again, Oliver blocks.

"You know what slytherins do when they start to lose." Lucius countered. Severus pursed his lips as the slytherin team got aggressive.

"Give me that!" Marcus demanded, he grabbed a beaters bat from one and whacks a bludger right at Oliver. It hit Oliver directly in the stomach and he plummets to the ground, knocked out. There was a very loud boo from the audience.

"As long as they stay awau from harry." Lilith grumbled.

"Mommy im bored. Harry isnt doing anything. He is just sitting there." Aria whined.

"He is looking for the snitch. Remember?" Lilith countered.

The Slytherin members headed off. One jumped over George or Fred no one could ever tell them apart and scored. Lee adds 10 points in the plaque with Slytherin's name.  Then another point another wicked slam. The crowd boos. Slytherin scores once again.

"Whats he doing? Dancing?" Aria questioned. Lilith followed her gaze.

"Sevy whats going on with harry?" Lilith questioned. "Whats wrong with his broom."

"I think I know." Severus muttered before he started a counter curse.

"What's going on with Harry's broomstick?" Hagrid questioned. Hermione looked through binoculars at Harry, then at Snape, who was visibly muttering.

"It's Snape! He's jinxing the broom!" Hermoine remarked as Harry flailed around.

"Thats his father." Hagrid countered.

"I know a curse when I see one." Hermione countered.

"Jinxing the broom? What do we do?" Ron questioned.

"Leave it to me." Hermoine remarked as she got up.

Lilith screamed horror flooding her as Harry was knocked and thrown around, then fell. Her baby boy fell from his broom. Lilith got to the edge of the sky box, harry dangling by one arm from the broom now.

"Sev." Lilith felt like she couldn't breathe.

Hermione was hurrying up in the tower structures. She appeared underneath severys and touched his cloak with her wand.

"Lacarnum Inflamarae." Hermoine said quietly. A spark ignites and severus cloak caught fire. Hermione quickly headed off her mission done.

"Fire! You're on fire!"

"What? Oh!" Severus stood up knocked the man back, who fell into Quirrell, who then also fell. Lilith spun around as severus stomped out his cloak. Severus bat out the fire before looking back to the match as if nothing happened. The broom stopped bucking, and Harry climbed back on. The Slytherin seeker was already after the Snitch. Harry took off.

"God that boy," lilith whispered.

Harry rammed into the Slytherin Seeker, then was butted out. He returned, smashing the Seeker again as the Snitch dived down. The boys followed, but they approach the ground quickly. The Slytherin Seeker backed out, and Harry pulled up his broom as he followed the Snitch, just mere feet above the ground.

"What is he doing?" Lilith questioned to no one in particular. Harry stood up, and stepped forward, trying to grab the ball. He went too far, and toppled off the broom with a yelp, tumbling on the ground. Lilith shouted for him. This was a very bad idea. No more qidditch. But He got up and lurched. Lilith ran down to the pitch.

"Looks like he's gonna be sick!" Hagrid declared. Harry lurched and the Snitch pops out of his mouth. It landed in his hands.

"He's got the Snitch! Harry Snape receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!" Lee declared. Hooch blew her whistle whilst riding on her broomstick.

" Gryffindor win!" Hooch declared.

"Mum did you see me?" Harry questioned as she hugged him.

"You were phenomenal." Lilith agreed.
