Life in the pitch (Oliver & Rey)

Chapter 3

         

'Okay if we play our game right we should be able to win from Hufflepuff' Oliver stood in front of a board where he had explained all of his tactics and strategy for the past hour. Like Rey said nobody is a bigger quidditch freak than Oliver Wood. Everyone stood up and walked to the 'stall', that's what they call the place where the team waits until the door is opened and they fly in the field.

Rey was standing between the two beaters Fred and George Weasley

'Hey Fawley not scared of those little Hufflepuffs ey?' Fred teased her 'If they try to knock you off your broom we'll send a bludger straight at them.' George poked her

'Someone has to protect our new assets and we're are the unbeatable beaters' Fred said proudly 'Oliver said that himself, isn't that right Olie-Wolie?' They both poked Oliver in his side. 'Once again I'm not your Olie-Wolie' Oliver snapped 'Just focus on the game already.'

The twins laughed at Olivers reaction and Rey couldn't help but to laugh with them. Then the door opened and everyone flew onto the field. Rey's heart was pumping with adrenaline when she flew a couple rounds over the field. Everyone from Hogwarts was watching because this was the first match of the season. She could also see Thom and Felice on the Gryffindor tribune cheering her on.

Madam Hooch came towards the middle of the field where the chest lay with the bludgers, the quaffle and the snitch. 'Okay I want a fair game today that means no blagging, no haversacking, no stooging, no flacking, no bumphing and no blatching. Are you ready?' Both team captains nodded 'Begin!' Madam Hooch gave a loud blast on her silver whistle and all the balls were let loose.

Hufflepuff caught the ball and flew toward the Gryffindor hoops. Peter tried to steal it but Hufflepuff threw the quaffle down to another chaser. The chaser avoided George's bludger and took his shot but it was blocked by Oliver.

'Oeh! The first chance for Hufflepuff but skillfully blocked by Gryffindor's captain and keep, Oliver Wood.' said Lee Jordan, the commentator and a fellow Gryffindor.

Okay now it was Gryffindors turn to attack. Oliver threw the ball to Angelina and she reserved passed it to Rey. Rey blasted over the field towards the hoop and avoided some bludgers in the progress but she got trapped by two Hufflepuffs and dived down to pass the quaffle to Peter.

'Amazing dodging work by our number 6 and new chaser, Rey Fawley!' Lee said and the Gryffindor crowd cheered but Rey didn't even notice because her mind was on the game.

Peter made his way to the goal but Hufflepuff stole the quaffle before he could even make the shot.

'Hufflepuff is on their stealing game today they are just too fast for the newbie, Peter Quivell.' Lee shouted.

Rey and Angelina flew in a zig-zag motion in front of the chaser with the quaffle while Peter took the quaffle from the distracted chaser. Rey saw her chance and flew as fast as she could to the score area so that Peter could pass it to her. 'Peter now!' She yelled and Peter threw it towards her as hard as he could. Rey stood up on her broomstick and leaped to perform a Dionyous dive but before she could punch the quaffle a sharp pain hit her head and she fainted and fell down.

Rey gasped 'What...who? Shit, my head.' She looked around to see that there were figures beside her but they were too blurry to recognize. She could feel the sand under her and a person beside her holding her hand. She tried to focus on the people around her but her consciousness slipped away and everything turned black.
