SCARS || Newt Scamander

Six

Entering the Quidditch stands, Newt, Clara, Emma and Jasper had their house scarf wrapped tightly around them, as the temperature was slowly dropping.

The Hufflepuff team emerged onto the field, the Slytherin's were already there and on their brooms. They mounted the brooms and flew up. Professor Boyle walked onto the field, Quaffle in hand.

"Now, I want a nice clean game, from all of you!" He shouted, the players nodded. He tossed the ball into the air, and the game began.

The Hufflepuff chaser caught it and zoomed off to the Slytherin side. The Hufflepuff side erupted into loud cheers when they scored.

"10 points for Hufflepuff!"

Jasper cursed, Emma smirked. The Slytherins got ahold of the Quaffle, and the beaters slapped the bludgers around. The seekers seeked for the Snitch.

The Chasers sped across the field, in pursuit of the maroon ball. The black and yellow and green and silver colors seemed to be a blur as the players zoomed across the stadium. The Hufflepuff player grabbed the Quaffle and went to the goal post, tossing it towards it. The Slytherin Keeper was too slow and missed, the Quaffle flew in earning Hufflepuff more points. The Hufflepuffs cheered, to Hufflepuff players high fived each other.

Each side let out loud cheers every time they scored, and when the other side scored they groaned.

It was very entertaining to watch, until a bludger hit a Hufflepuff player, nocking them off their broom. The Slytherin players snickered.

"What?! Not fair!!" Clara shouted.

"That looks like it hurt." Newt said, looking at the player lay on the floor.

"It probably did hurt." Emma said. The nurse rushed onto the field and carried the player out. The Hufflepuffs booed at the Slytherins. The game continued, only the players were more careful.

Slytherin scored again, and soon they were in the lead. Slytherins had 40 points, Hufflepuffs had 20. Then the Hufflepuff players got the Quaffle and scored a few more times, causing the Hufflepuff watchers to cheer loudly.

The students waved their flags and chanted their house names. Newt and Clara were watching, concentrating on the game.

"Go Slytherin!" Jasper shouted, waving his flag.

"Hufflepuff's obviously better!" Clara shouted at him.

"All houses are good." Emma said. "Slytherins just choose to do the wrong thing."

"I guess so." Newt said shrugging. The group turned their attention to the game again. Hufflepuff was now in the lead. The Hufflepuffs cheered loudly, usually they never won. The Slytherins won almost all the games and the house cups.

The commentators voice wrang out around the stadium, announcing what was going on in the game. Everyone was cheering, the teachers were clapping.

"Slytherin currently has 40 points, Hufflepuff has 50!" The announcer shouted.

Then the seekers took off, everyone knew they were going after the snitch. Clara, Newt, Emma and Jasper cheered. The Hufflepuff seeker sped off faster, and they caught the Snitch.

"150 points awarded to Hufflepuff, and the other 50 points!"

The Hufflepuffs cheered louder than they had all day.

"We won!" Clara said happily.

"Yes!!" Newt shouted, waving his Hufflepuff flag. Jasper rolled his eyes, Emma laughed. As they walked off the stands, the Hufflepuffs stared a chant.

"Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff!" Soon Clara and Newt joined in, both of them grinning. Clara hugged Newt, then quickly let go when she noticed Emma smirking at them.

"I'm starving!" Newt complained.

"Let's go get food!" Clara said. Jasper and Emma nodded in agreement. Jasper and Emma went to their tables as Clara and Newt sat at the Hufflepuff table. The Hufflepuffs were still cheering and chanting as Clara's owl arrived.

"Newt! It's my mums reply!" Clara said, nudging Newt. She unfolded it as Newt read it over her shoulder.

Dear Clara,

I guess you can go, have fun! I'll be at the station though.

Love, mum

Clara grinned. "This is going to be an awesome summer!"

"Yeah it will be!" Newt said, grinning too. Nobody could ruin the good mood the Hufflepuffs had, not even a pop quiz.

"Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff!" Echoed through the Hogwarts corridors when the Hufflepuffs went to their common room. It was around 6:30, but they didn't care.

They found some sweets and butterbeer and started a party. The party only fizzed down at ten, but only a few were still up. Clara had gone up to the dorms, the full moon was tomorrow.
