I'm not a coward, just shy (Hogwarts fanfic)

ch 8- Bludgers and snakes

It had been a week since I had left the hospital wing and the rumor had been running at top speed. Rumors that harry was the air of Slytherin and had open the chamber of secrets because they had been the first ones to find the scene of the crime. I was also worried about Ginny, she was beginning to look drained. He skin looked pale and she had dark circles under her eyes. I would have to talk to her. I remember the night when she found me down in the common room. I could remember the fear in her eyes, at the time I thought she had just had a nightmare, but I knew right when I thought it something was terribly wrong. I needed to talk to her.

Right now I was sitting in the stalls of the Quidditch stadium next to Hermione and Ron. Today was Harry's first match of the year against Slytherin. He had been nervous and I just had to hope his instincts for the sport would kick in. He had always been a good flying, me on the other hand, i can't even sit on a broom without falling off the other side. There is something about my long limbs which makes me unsuitable for a broom. It's not like I would like to ride a broom in the first place, I would rather kept my feet on the ground. Call me a muggle but brooms at made for sweeping.

The coward of people cheered loudly as the two teams made their way their way onto the pitch. I could make out Fred, George and harry. Two red spots with a black dot beside them. Fred and George swung the beaters bats and harry looked to be looking at his broom. I had listen to Fred, George, Ron, Harry, ect, that there could be a lot wrong with a broom and out of place twigs affected it's flying. They might as well been talking in Swedish for all the sense it made.

With a sharp whistle from Madam Hooch they were off but as soon as the bludgers were released, I knew something was wrong. I cursed loudly, cursed myself for not looking closer.

"Taylor, what's wrong" Hermione asked and I pointed to a bludger spinning towards Harry, only for George to nice it away and if came right back.

"The Bludger is controlled by magic" I wanted to slam my face into the wooden rail.

"That's impossible, Bludgers have charms against magic" Ron exclaim as Harry dived away from the cursed bludger.

"I know it is, If only I had seen it sooner. I need to tell Dumbledore" I got up from my seat and ducked though the thong of supporters.

"Taylor" I heard Hermione cry after me but I was already off.

It took a long time for me to get to the stand where the teachers sat.

"The Bludger... is charmed" I gasped pointing at the bludger where it was taking both Fred and George to keep the Bludger off harry.

"How do you now, Mr Fleet" Professor Lockhart said flashing his pearly white teeth.

"Taylor has a talent of knowing things" Dumbledore said standing up and leaving, Lockhart, Flitwick and McGonagall close on his heels. Without warning, Harry suddenly dived, Fred and George leaving his sides.

"What are they doing" I hissed, fear clutching at my heart for my friend. Outcomes spinning in my head so fast I wasn't sure what was real and what was imagination. I finally sure what Harry was going for. A flash of gold beside Malfoy's ear and he was so busy laughing at harry he didn't notice. Although his face quickly changed as soon as he soon the rogue Bludger hot on Harry's heels. He hurriedly got out of the way as Marcus Flint, shouted at Malfoy to go after the Snitch but it was so late. The snitch dived towards the ground, Harry following.

"That Idiot" I growled, already seeing what's going to happen.

"What's going to happen" Snape said emotionless as ever.
