Sticky notes and empty pens

Chapter 8.

Lance's Pov.

My gloved hands tightened around my broom as I pulled it back once more, a Bludger passing by me in drastic speed, making a noise only a Bludger could make.

Unsteady breathes escaped my lips as I had lost that spark of gold once more, Keith no where in sight either.

I cursed underneath my breath as I stomped my left hand onto my broom. My eyes wandered over the field back to the Ravenclaw Beaters, snickering as they high five each other.

"You sure your House takes a liking in you, McClain?" I heard a voice come up from below me.

Keith soon appeared in front of me with a cocky smirk on his face as he leaned down on his broom.

"They're just messing around. It's only the first game, mullet." I tried to say least offended as possible.

My eyes wandered away from him as I let out a chuckle, seeing a flash of gold in the distance behind Keith.

"Gotta run." I smirked shooting him a short one handed finger guns before taking off.

A curse escaped his lips as I soon heard him following behind me as we chased the Snitch around the field.

"Gryffindor has scored a goal!" We heard through the arena as the crowd roared.

The stand was now '50-60' for Gryffindor.

Both me and Keith have gotten close to catching the Snitch. But it's made impossible by the Bludgers flying by left and right.

We were now flying almost side by side, me still slightly in the lead as I stretched my left hand out like I had done multiple times before already. Soon Keith made it to my side as he bumped into me, hoping to get me off track.

My eyes quickly shot to him in anger, I glared at him for a second longer before my eyes snapped back to the golden Snitch in front of us.

"There's no way you're getting it, Kogane." I growled out making myself smaller on the broom hoping to catch less air around me.

I sped up inching closer and closer to the Snitch flying in front of us.

That was until I, more heard than saw, the Bludger coming our way once more. it was coming from the left so I noticed it before Keith did, he was still so focused on catching the Snitch on my right that he hadn't noticed danger closing in. Once again caused by the Ravenclaw Beaters..

You know, I could play really dirty right now, get out of the way myself and let him take the hit so he's out of the game.

But of course I couldn't do it.

"Look out!" I shouted, my eyes widening as it inched closer to us each passing second.

I slowed down so I was right beside Keith again quickly pulling my broom to the right as I harshly crashed into him.

We were both thrown off balance towards the crowd of people on the bleacher forming a circle around the entire arena.

Gasps and shouts filled the air as they ducked down. Both me and Keith trying to get ahold of our brooms.

Once I came to a stop, the Bludger who had almost hit us rammed into the wooden bleachers. Wood flying everywhere as it soon came out again on a different side. I leaned down onto my broom just floating above the bleachers for a second, trying to get my breathing back to normal again.

My eyes snapped up at Keith, him doing the same as me.

"Hey, are you alright?" I called out flying my way over to him.
