Sister of black (Harry potter marauders era)

24. Ravenclaw Vs Gryffindor

The last quidditch match of the year was growing closer, it was in two days. James had made us have training everyday for the last week, he really wanted to win the cup.
"Prongs you need to calm down a bit," Sirius said after we had just finished training.
"I can't, the final match is in two days time and Gryffindor haven't won in three years now," James retorted as he pulled on a jumper.
"We'll be fine, it's only Ravenclaw," I said, as we walked back to the castle.
"Yeah, well I heard some Slytherins talking to some Ravenclaws about sabotage," James muttered darkly.
"Maybe we should be careful where we stand then," Sirius said.
"You two worry too much," I said putting and arm round both of their necks, I was on top-toes, "I doubt anyone in our team couldn't win a duel with another student." We walked through the wooden door, Sirius and James doubled over as my arms were still round them.

"Lyra! Get up, we've got a quidditch match in and hour!" James said, shaking me out of my sleep.
"Ok, ok I'm coming," I said sliding out of bed.
"We'll meet you in the great hall," James said and he ran out the door. I pulled on my favourite hoodie and some black jeans and went down to the great hall. An eruption of noise hit my ears when I walked in, Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs were cheering, while Ravenclaws and Slytherins were booing.
"Here," James said pushing a bowl of cereal and some coffee in front of me, "you need a good breakfast."
"Oh, right," I said digging my spoon in and eating.
"The conditions are good, bit of wind, but very nice," James said shovelling down his breakfast. After breakfast, in which James forced all the team to eat loads while on having cereal himself, we went down to the pitch.
"Come on let's change," Sirius said as he watched James feeling the ground.
"It's quite hard, should give us a nice kick-off," James concluded as we went to the changing rooms.

"Mount your brooms!" Madam Hooch said, I swung my leg over my broom and got ready. The the screech of the whistle filled my ears and I shot into the air. If we won this match by 50 points we would win, if we won by under we would be second and if we lost we would be third, so I had to keep the Ravenclaw seeker off the snitch until we were 50 points ahead.
"Gryffindor in possession, that's Potter with the quaffle and he scores! 10-0 to gryffindor!"
I cheered and flew around the pitch, searching for the snitch, every now and then checking on the Ravenclaw seeker.
"30-10 to gryffindor!"
I had just seen the snitch, hovering by the gryffindor goal posts, but it was too early, so I dived towards the Ravenclaw end, and just as I planned, the Ravenclaw seeker sped after me. I suddenly pulled out of the dive and the Ravenclaw seeker went crashing into the ground, when I turned to the gryffindor goals the snitch had gone.
"40-10 to gryffindor!"
I watched as the Ravenclaw seeker got back on his room and kicked off, then swerved as he came pelting at me.
"Watch it!" I yelled as he stoped and grinned at me.
"Sorry didn't see you," he drawled. I sped off to the middle of the pitch a looked around. I saw the Ravenclaw seeker dive and was just about to follow him when I saw the snitch not in front of him but near the Ravenclaw goals, he was trying to trick me, but I stayed stationary looking at him. He looked behind him to see if I was there, then looked up and me, I smirked and he glared and me and when he wasn't paying by attention he went smashing into the ground again.
"Looks like the Ravenclaw seeker is having a bad day," the commentator shouted, "and it's Ravenclaw in possession, no Gryffindor in possession and Gryffindor score! 50-10 to gryffindor!"
I cheered with the gryffindors and hufflepuffs then I really did see the Ravenclaw seeker dive, with the snitch in front of him. I diving after him I urged my broom on, and just as he was about to grab the snitch I swerved in front of him and knocked the snitch flying. He let out a scream of rage and tried to fly after it but I kept blocking him.
"Move! Black!" He scream at me, but I kept blocking him till I heard,
"Gryffindor score, 60-10 to gryffindor!" And I shot off looking for the snitch. Now the Ravenclaw seeker was blocking me, I was a better flyer than him though so I kept speeding away. Then I saw it a flutter of wings, a glint of gold and I dived, the Ravenclaw seeker dived after me.
"Come on," I muttered, "come on!"
Suddenly a bludger came pelting towards me and I swerved out of the way and back round and caught the snitch. I held it in the air and there was a loud cheer from the Gryffindor end, the Ravenclaw seeker pelted into me, in anger. But I didn't care, we had won! We had won the cup and the whole team had gathered round me, cheering and hugging each other. We drifted back down to the ground and the whole of Gryffindor was there, Cheering and yelling. Then Dumbledore handed the cup to James and he held it high above his head, everyone cheered and through the crowd I saw the Ravenclaws and Slytherins trailing back to the castle.
"Party in the common room!" Someone shouted and as everyone went to the castle, I went to the changing rooms to get my hoodie.
"I'll meet you there," I shouted to Lily. I went to grab my hoodie but when I turned to go out again, Malfoy was blocking the door.
"What do you want?" I said.
"No need to be so rude," he said, "I have a message from your parents."
"Really?" I said, "and what's that?"
"Follow me," he said.
"Yeah like I'm going to fall for that," I spat.
"No I swear, I'm not trying anything, they said not to let anyone over hear," he said, his face wasn't sneering or aggressive so I decided to follow him but keep my wand with me.
