14 people walked on to the quidditch pitch to loud cheers. The final match of the quidditch house cup was about to start.

“Let’s hear it for the Gryffindor team, which is captained by James Potter! We have Potter, Potter, Wood, Weasley, Russell, Finnegan, and Thomas!” Alyssa Lee, the quidditch announcer exclaimed watching the Gryffindor team mount their brooms.

“We are going to finally win this year!” James cheered confidently. He bumped knuckles with Jessica and Taylor, who were discussing strategy. “This game is ours,” Taylor agreed. Fred glanced at Andrew, mentally apologizing for what he was about to do. “I’m not exactly sure about this,” Tyler muttered to Fred. Fred sighed, hating the position he was currently in, “I think I might be more afraid of if we don’t do anything and lose. James would kill us.” Tyler was about to respond, but his words were covered up by Alyssa’s voice.

“Now we have the Ravenclaw team, captained by Kristen Wood. We have Wood, Neilson, Burke, Roberts, Carter, Milton, and Weasley!” Alyssa continued as the Ravenclaw team flew out on to the pitch.

Soon, both teams were in the air and the snitch, quaffle, and bludgers had been released. Everyone took their places, waiting for the game to begin. Seconds later, the whistle was blown.

“Another amazing save by Wood!” Alyssa exclaimed, “Carter has the quaffle, he passes to Weasley, who passes to Milton, who passes back to Weasley. She shoots and scores! Ravenclaw is leading fifty to ten.”

Tyler flew next to Fred, knowing it was about time to put their plan into action.

“So do you want to take out Kristen?” Tyler asked Fred.

“No! I’m really good friends with her brother! You know what he’d do if I knocked out his sister on purpose!” Fred replied.

“Wouldn’t he kill me as well?”

“You can avoid him for the next month until you graduate. I still have another year, plus I share a dorm with him where I can be easily murdered in my sleep.”

Tyler flew away, trying to position himself correctly. The bludger came in Tyler’s direction and he smacked it, sending it right towards Kristen’s head. Garret Burke saw the bludger coming as he rushed towards his captain, hoping to block the bludger before it hit her. Too distracted by the Gryffindor chasers who were headed her, she failed to notice the oncoming bludger until it was too late. The bludger slammed into her forehead causing her head to violently smack into the metal ring of the goal post. She slid off her broom and started to fall to the ground.

“Well that was surprising! She should have seen that one coming! Garret catches her and lowers her to the ground. There are a lot of furious faces out there. Is that revenge I smell?” Alyssa announced dramatically.

Tyler glanced at Andrew. If looks could kill, he would have been dead in a heartbeat. As it was, Tyler realized a month of hiding might not be so bad if it meant that he could live a little longer.

“I’ll take out Kailey,” Fred said, flying past Tyler.

He looked around the pitch for a bludger to send at Kailey. Hearing a crack, he noticed one was heading in Albus’s direction. Flying in between them, he swung his bat, sending the bludger flying in Kailey’s direction. His eyes followed her for a second before looking away in shame, knowing that in a matter of seconds, she would be unconscious because of him.
