"It's lonely to be more powerful than any man you know."
- Merlin
Twelve years after Harry Potter defeated Voldemort and put an end to the First Wizarding War, the Wizarding world is shaken by the news that Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban. But no...

"You know what we've got to do," Wood said as they prepared to leave the locker rooms. "If we lose this match, we're out of the running. Just—just fly like you did in practice yesterday, and we'll be okay!"
They walked out onto the field to tumultuous applause. The Ravenclaw team, dressed in blue, were already standing in the middle of the field. Their Seeker, Cho Chang, was the only girl on their team. "Wood, Davies, shake hands," Madam Hooch said briskly, and Wood shook hands with the Ravenclaw Captain. "Mount your brooms on my whistle... three—two—one—"
Rhea kicked off into the air and soon the Quaffle had been released and the game began. Angelina won the first duel for the Quaffle and passed it back to Rhea who zoomed across the stadium. During her first game, she hadn't been able to heard any of the commentary coming from Lee but this time, his voice carried out across the stadium.
"They're off, and the big excitement this match is the Firebolt that Harry Potter is flying for Gryffindor," Lee announced excitedly. "According to Which Broomstick, the Firebolt is going to be the broom of choice for the national teams at this year's World Championship—"
"Jordan, would you mind telling us what's going on in the match?" Professor McGonagall interrupted him.
"Right you are, Professor—just giving a bit of background information—the Firebolt, incidentally, has a built-in auto-brake and —"
"JORDAN!"
"Okay, okay, Gryffindor in possession, Katie Bell of Gryffindor heading for goal — passes it to Adhara Hamilton — back to Bell who scores the first goal of the match!"
The Gryffindor end of the field went wild and their excitement only grew when Harry speeded up and dove for the Golden Snitch. Then a Bludger, hit by one of the Ravenclaw Beaters, came pelting out of nowhere towards Harry who veered off course, avoiding it by an inch, and in those few, crucial seconds, the Snitch had vanished.
There was a great "Ooooooh" of disappointment from the Gryffindor supporters, but much applause for their Beater from the Ravenclaw end. George Weasley vented his feelings by hitting the second Bludger directly at the offending Beater, who was forced to roll right over in midair to avoid it.
The match continued and Rhea even managed to score two goals and assist in three. "Gryffindor leads by eighty points to zero, and look at that Firebolt go! Potter's really putting it through its paces now, see it turn — Chang's Comet is just no match for it, the Firebolt's precision balance is really noticeable in these long—"
"JORDAN! ARE YOU BEING PAID TO ADVERTISE FIREBOLTS? GET ON WITH THE COMMENTARY!"
Rhea absolutely loved Lee's commentary and McGonagall's criticism when he got distracted. Even though she stayed focused on the match, it was amusing to hear in the background.
