Just Kiss Me (Fred Weasley Fanfiction)

Chapter Fifteen

(Emily's POV)

I watched as Wood shook hands with the Ravenclaw Captain, Roger Davies, before the teams rose into the air and the game began.

"They're off!" Lee's voice was heard over the crowd. "And the big excitement this match is the Firebolt which Harry Potter is flying for Gryffindor. According to Which Broomstick, the Firebolt's going to be the broom of choice for the national teams at this year's World Championship –"

"Jordan! Mind telling us what's going on in the match?" Interrupted McGonagall.

"Right you are, Professor. Just giving a bit of background information. The Firebolt, incidentally, has a built-in auto brake and –"

"Jordan!" McGonagall said sternly.

"Ok, ok, Gryffindor in possession, Katie Bell heading for goal." Lee said.

I watched as Harry flew around the pitch, looking for the snitch, the Ravenclaw Seeker Cho Chang was tailing him closely. She kept cutting across him, forcing him to change direction.

"Oh, she's sneaky." I said to Ginny, who was sitting next to me.

"Look!" Lucy yelled from my other side, pointing to Katie Bell.

Katie had succeeded in scoring the first goal of the match and Gryffindor house went wild, along with a few Hufflepuff's, Lucy included. Just then we saw Harry dive towards the ground, I looked to where he was flying and saw the tiny golden speck that was the snitch. I got excited, but a bludger sent by one of the Ravenclaw Beaters went pelting towards Harry, making him veer off course.

"BOOOO!" I yelled.

But my boo was quickly turned into applause when George hit the second bludger directly at the Ravenclaw Beater, forcing him to roll over to avoid it. Gryffindor were in the lead eighty points to zero, I listened to Lee's commentary which was starting to sound more like an advertisement for the Firebolt than anything else.

"Jordan! Are you being paid to advertise Firebolt's?! Get on with the commentary!" McGonagall's voice yelled.

Ravenclaw had pulled back, Gryffindor was now only fifty points ahead, which means that if Ravenclaw get the snitch they'll win. I watched as Harry accelerated once more, shooting towards the goal posts, but Cho appeared in front of him, blocking him.

"HARRY, THIS IS NO TIME TO BE A GENTLEMEN!" Wood roared. "KNOCK HER OFF HER BROOM IF YOU HAVE TO!"

Harry suddenly dived towards the ground, Cho following him, but Harry pulled out of it at the last second. He hadn't seen the snitch; he was just faking it. Just then three Dementors floated onto the pitch, I got out my wand ready to cast the Patronus Charm, but there was no need for it, Harry had produced a Patronus himself, although his did not take the form of an animal. He didn't pause to watch, and continued forward chasing the snitch, he stretched out his arm and closed his fingers over the small golden snitch. Madam Hooch's whistle sounded, signifying the end of the match, Gryffindor had won! I ran down to the field with the rest of the Gryffindors, congratulating the team on their win and, upon seeing Fred and George, I did a little happy dance for them.
