"Deep breaths Hermione."

"Are you ready Hermione?"

"No- Yeah I'm ready...to win!"

"Yeah we're going to win,"Harry yelled," who's going to win!"

"GRYFFINDOR!!" the whole Gryffindor team yelled back.

"Who's going to win?!"

"GRYFFINDOR!!!"

"Let's go show those Slytherins what it means to be a winner and those winners are!"

"GRYFFINDOR!!!!"

"So who's going to win!"

"GRYFFINDOR!!!"

"Okay it's getting old," Hermione thought, but she still yelled with her quidditch teammates.

The Gryffindor quidditch team walk out of the locker room excited, thrilled and ready to crush Slytherin. The Slytherins were already on their side of the pitch, giving their rivals death glares. Madam Hooch was in the middle with the quidditch case.

"I don't want any cheating or foul play,"Madam Hooch said, but particularly at Slytherins than the Gryffindors,"Captains shake hands."

Harry and Malfoy both squinted their eyes at each other when they shook hands.

"Okay mount your brooms," Madam Hooch yelled,"on my whistle!"

FWEEEEEEEEE the whistle went and so did quidditch players.

"Today is a very nice day for a quidditch game wouldn't you agree Professor," Luna said, her voice was still dreamy, but it was booming so that the students who are sitting or standing could hear her. Professor McGonagall only nodded at the seventh year, but was focused on the game. "So we have Gryffindor,"all the Gryffindors cheered," and Slytherin,"the Slytherins only gave a weak cheer," oh look at number twenty-one Hermione Granger if you don't know her number just stole the quaffle from thirteen, I believe his name is Blaise Zabini. Twenty-one past it to number six, who passed it to seventeen. Seventeen dodged a Bludger and he passed it to twenty-one, who scored!"

All what Luna said was true, Hermione back passed the quaffle to Ginny, which made the Slytherins and some Gryffindors jaws drop in aw. Dennis dodged a Bludger so fast that it looked as if there wasn't even a Bludger pasting by him. He then pasted it back to Hermione and she scored easily.

"Ten points to Gryffindor,"Luna said, all the Gryffindors cheered.

Theo had the quaffle now, zigzagging through the field, but a Bludger hit on his way to the hops thanks to your friendly Gryffindor beater Nick Robertson. Theo looked fine, but he lost the quaffle.

"I think that would hurt," Luna said looking down at the field." Oh look number six has the quaffle now."

Ginny was zooming pass the other flying Slytherins, then she passed the quaffle to Hermione, who threw it to Dennis. Once Dennis grabbed the quaffle he scored earning Gryffindor an other ten points.

All the Slytherins looked at Malfoy, even the ones on the ground were looking at him. Malfoy hit is left elbow then hand. The Gryffindors all looked a him with confusion, not Hermione, she knew exactly what play the Slytherins were about to do. Reading quidditch books and strategies did pay off,but then again books always pay off.

The play was simple, the Slytherins were just going to attack from behind,but in a confusing way and Harry would be too distracted with fixing his team to notice Draco catching the snitch. Classic, but yet surprising.

"Oh look, the Slytherins have a very odd formant,"Luna said, making everyone look at the Slytherins.

The Slytherins broke in two different groups, two chasers and one beater in group one, group two had one beater and one chaser. They were all after Dennis, who had the quaffle, the beaters were hitting him with their bats, well from a far it would look like hitting. Madam Hooch didn't call a foul or blow her whistle, so it wasn't a foul.
