lestrange - the stone

Chapter Ten

THE QUIDDITCH MATCH:
LILY'S POV:

The next morning, me and Cadee were telling Malfoy about the troll, well, Cadee was, and she was over dramatising it. My shoulder still hurt, but I refused to go to the hospital wing, it was only a little cut.

Today was the first Quidditch match, Gryffindor against Slytherin. Father would be expecting to win, speaking of father... Snape was limping a lot today, and he wouldn't tell me why.

Suddenly an owl squeaked, coming in with a package looking like a broomstick. I frowned as it dropped it to Harry, and we all watched as him and his friends unwrapped it.

I opened my mouth as I caught a glimpse of a Nimbus 2000, and I shook my head. "Lucky twat, I was trying to convince Sn..." I stop as Cadee turns to look at me "..my dad.. to buy me one." I say, and she shrugs.

After breakfast, me and Cadee settle into the quidditch stands, Malfoy standing near to us with his flag in hand.

"Hello! Welcome to Hogwarts first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game: Slytherin vs. Gryffindor!" A voice cut out as all the players flew out into the pitch.

"The players take their positions as Madame Hooch steps out into the field to begin the game!"

"Now I want a nice, clean game. From all of you." You can hear her say as she opens the box, and the balls fly out.

"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. The Quaffle is released, and the game begins!"

Gryffindor manage to get the ball first, and she scores. Me and Cadee bang our hands on the wood.

"Angelina Johnson scores! Ten points to Gryffindor! Slytherin take possession of the Quaffle, Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint," he's making good progress and we grin as he throws it, but at the last minute, Wood hits it back and it does to Gryffindor.

Gryffindor score again, and Slytherin boos. Gryffindor now has 20 points, and Slytherin has none.

Wood again makes sure the ball doesn't go into the hoop, but suddenly, he's hit and falls to the floor. A lot of Slytherin cheer and laugh.

With the hoops now free, Slytherin scores and a loud cheer goes up, me and Cadee clap and Cadee whoops.

Slytherin manages to score again, and it's 20 to 20, and another cheer goes up. Suddenly, Harry Potter gets sight of the snitch, and he races after it.

Suddenly, his broom starts moving on its own, and Harry starts to lose grip on it, I look over at the teachers and see Snape is muttering something. He wouldn't be jinxing Potters broom, yes he wants to win.. but.. I also look at Quirrel, he looks angry, and he's not blinking.. perhaps...

Just as Harry's about to loose his grip on the broom completely, the staff suddenly all jump up, and I catch a glimpse of fire.

Harry manages to swing himself back onto his broom, and he chases after the snitch, we all watch as he stands on his broom, reaching for the snitch.

Suddenly he falls, and it looks like he's going to be sick before.. he spits out the snitch!!!

"Harry Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch! Gryffindor wins!!"

Me and Cadee cross our arms, and Malfoy shakes his head, putting his head in his hands. I catch sight of Snape, and grin when I see how unhappy he looks.
