Anything For Her : Book 1

Quidditch

The next morning, I sat in at the Gryffindor table with harry. Everyone around us eating. Harry and I, were just twirling food on a fork. "Good luck today, Potter's. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you..even if it is against Slytherin. I expect you'll be winning for us Miss. Potter." Snape grumbles, walking away, Limping.

"That explains the blood" Harry says. We all turn to him confused. "Blood? What blood?" Hermione asks. "Listen, last night, im guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past the three headed dog. But he got himself bitten, that's why hes limping." Harry explains. "But why would anyone go near that dog?" Hermione asks, it clicks in my head what Harrys implying. "The day we were at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of  one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts business, very secret." I explain. I see Hedwig and Ivy enter the great hall, carrying two very large parcels. They drop it off at the table. "What on earth." I say, "but w-we never get mail." Harry stutters.

We open it to reveal two broomsticks. We turn to the head of the table and I see Professor McGonagall up at the head table, stroking Hedwig. While Snape, gave me a nod, stoking Ivy. Maybe Snape isnt so bad.

Flint started calling over the Slytherin team, while Oliver called the Gryffindor team. I turned to Harry giving him a hug, "Good luck, Harry", "Good luck Cel, dont worry ill go easy on you." I chuckled, walking towards Flint, "Bye guys!"
"Bye Celeste, good luck!" Ron and Hermione said.

I hurried over to Flint and the other members. "Alright, get dressed as fast as you can." He said glancing at me. "And then we'll meet on the edge of the field for them to call us up." We all nodded, then went to get changed. I was the first to finish, I stood near Flint at the field. Finally the rest of the boys came out. "Ready Potter?" Flint asked, "Nope."

"Okay men-" Flint began, "And women" I said, rolling my eyes. "And women, this is it. If we dont win, you'll all be held responsible."

We set off towards the Quidditch pitch, I glanced towards Slytherin and see Draco and Pansy giving me a thumbs up. I took a deep breath before going to my Seeker place, higher than the rest of the team. "Hello everyone!" Lee Jordan, the announcer yelled into the microphone. "Welcome to our first quidditch match of the season!! This game is between Gryffindor and Slytherin. But what most people are excited about is Celeste Potter and Harry Potter going head to head. Which sibling will catch the Snitch first?" Madam Hooch opens the trunk and releases the quaffle, two bludgers, and the snitch. I catch a glimpse of it before losing it.

"Madam Hooch throws the quaffle and... THE GAME BEGINS!" I stay in my spot watching the game, I frown noticing how dirty the Slytherins play. I look over to see Harry clapping, I spot a flicker of gold a few feet away, he was distracted this is my chance. I fly behind him, making sure he doesn't see me. By the time I get close to Harry, his broom begins to bounce around wildly. I freeze, terrified he would fall.

I scan the crowd to see Proffesor Snape muttering to himself, his eyes fixed on Harry. Thanks for the broom, but jinxing my brother is absolutely insane, all of a sudden his cloak is on fire. A teacher notices making him break the spell and put it. I turned to Harry, who's broom had stopped.

We both spot the same thing, we both took off after the snitch. "The Potters have spotted the snitch! Who will reach it first?" Lee yelled. I fly as fast as I can, almost getting hit with a bludger, but I flew past it, I hope it didnt hit Harry. I reach as far as I can without tipping my broom trying to reach the snitch. I leaned a little too far and fall forward. Falling to the ground.

I feel blood dripping from my arm and trickling down my face. All for a bloody game. I stand up holding and felt the snitch fluttering around in my mouth. I gag and spit it out, the Slytherins go crazy with cheers, while the Gryffindors sigh in defeat. The only Gryffindors I saw happy were Hermione and Ron. "Celeste Potter has caught the Golden snitch! 150 points for Slytherin! Slytherin has won the game! I guess we know who the better seeker is." Lee yelled, Flint came over to me. "Guess you're not so bad, Celeste."

Everyone applauding felt amazing, I love this. As soon as I changed out of my uniform, I hurried out of the locker room to try and find Harry. I saw Draco and Pansy waiting for me.

"You were amazing!" Pansy said as she hugged me. "Celeste your head.." Draco reached out to touch the cut on my face but I backed away. "Its nothing, ill get it healed later." I spotted Harry walking with Ron and Hermione.

"I'll catch up with you guys later!" I waved to them and ran towards the trio. "Good game, Harry!" I said hugging him, "You two! You were amazing out there, how's your head?" "It's fine, ill go to the hospital wing later, so where are we headed?"

"We're going to Hagrid."
