Reality Bites Harry Potter

We did our Best

I'm so excited! It's the first Quidditch match of the season and I get to play against Gred and Forge! I can't wait until I get on the pitch! I thought as I got ready for the day. I'm surprised Flint even agreed with having me on the team, but he seems to be okay. I mean, he still doesn't like Gryffindors and can be a bad loser sometimes, but I feel like I could change his attitude. I thought smirking to myself as I made my way to the Great Hall. Pansy, Theo, and Blaise joined me along the way. "I can tell you're excited about the match." Theo said grinning.

"Gee, I wonder what gave it away." I said rolling my eyes as I noticed the three were decked out in green and silver. "It looks like I'm not the only one."

"Yeah, I kind of forced them too." Pansy said grinning. Blaise rolled his eyes.

"I can imagine that." I said snickering. We decided to sit with Shay, Hannah, and Susan. Coincidentally, Gred and Forge were sitting there too. I smirked when I saw the ribbon in Shay's hair. "Well, I know who my sister is cheering for." I said as we sat down at the Hufflepuff. Shay just rolled her eyes as Forge pouted a bit.

"I'm only doing it because you're my only sibling." She said smiling.

"D'aw, I love you too." I said winking at her.

"Well, someone's excited this morning." Gred said grinning. I shrugged.

"Yeah, well, it's my first Quidditch match, what did you expect?" I said, rolling my eyes.

"We expected you to be really nervous like poor Harrykins over there." Forge said grinning as he pointed towards said Gryffindor. I looked over and saw that he was barely touching his food. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, that's not happening. I love food too much to do that." I said shaking my head.

"You better be careful or you'll get out of shape," Shay said grinning at me.

"Are you calling me fat?" I teased, playfully narrowing my eyes at her.

"No!" She said wide-eyed. "I'd never do that."

"I was just kidding, Shay." I said grinning. "I know you wouldn't."

"You drive me crazy sometimes." She said shaking her head. I shrugged.

"That's what older siblings are for, right?" I said grinning.

"That's true." Gred and Forge said grinning at the same time.

"I don't know, I think it's annoying." Ron mumbled walking by the table. He didn't stop to talk either. I rolled my eyes. That butt. Gred and Forge wished me good luck after breakfast and then I headed down to the pitch with my team. Up until now, Flint had been working us really hard. I was kind of shocked at how hard everyone practiced. It didn't really seem like that when Shay and I read the books. I actually enjoyed practicing with them and I feel like after a month of practicing with me, the team seemed to be less likely to play dirty. At least I hope so. I mean, if they do decide to play dirty just because we're losing, I'm going to say something about it. I don't care. It was time for us to walk out onto the field and I could barely contain my excitement. As soon as we were out, I heard the cheering from those supporting Slytherin and it felt amazing! I did hear the boos but I didn't let that get me down. I waved at Gred and Forge when we got close enough to them. They grinned and waved back. Oliver scowled at them, but that didn't seem to faze the two.

"Mount your brooms!" Madam Hooch yelled. We did as instructed and waited for her to release the balls. As soon as the case was open, we were off. I flew off, bat in hand, looking around for the bludgers. One was about to hit Pucey, so I stopped it and aimed it at Angelina, since she had the quaffle and all. She barely dodged it. Aw, poo. I thought pouting as I flew around looking for another bludger. Montague bumped the quaffle out of Angelina's arms and stole it. He took off towards the Gryffindor's goal. Yay, Montague! Just then a bludger headed his way and I sped towards it, but I was too late. Luckily, Derrick got to it before it hit Montague. I saw Gred and Forge pouting. I grinned. Montague smacked the quaffle with the end of his broom into the goal, but Oliver stopped it. Poo...
