I sped my broom towards the snitch ducking below other players on the pitch. The snitch dipped closer to the ground and i pulled my broom down in attempt to follow it, Malfoy zoomed past me clearly loving that his Nimbus 2001 was much more speedy than my basic spare broom. Rage filled me at the thought of him being able to rub in my face that he won the game by catching the snitch. I pushed forward on my broom in attempt to go faster. Suddenly the snitch shot up high into the sky. Before Malfoy even notices i pulled my broom vertically zooming up into the sky after the snitch. Frustrated i heard him yell i presume is some kind of curse but i was too busy to notice exactly what it said. My broom shot through the air as i twisted and curved through other players. Pansy hit the quaffle in my direction clearly attempting to hit me so Malfoy could get to the snitch before i could. Quickly Harry swooped in and caught the ball tucking it under his arm before shooting me a smile. I didn't have time for thank you's i'd just have to do it after i win the game. Malfoy began speeding up to me, i pulled hard on my broom to get to the snitches height. We were more than sixty feet in the air when i finally reached the snitch. As soon as i got close to it , it moved across the pitch. Malfoy caught up to me till we were almost side by side only a few meters away from touching each other. The snitch curved around the pitch both of us racing after it. The pit in my stomach suddenly began to turn doing summersaults as i looked to the ground far below us; the last time i was this high in the air it nearly resulted in my death and this time i'm in the air with someone to will go to any length to win the golden snitch. Lagging behind Malfoy slightly i tried my best to regain my focus but the thought still looked in my mind. I pushed forward my eyes not leaving the snitch. Sneakily it shot above us and looped around to change direction. If i wanted to win this game i knew i didn't have time to come to a halt and turn my broom around. Instead i pulled up the wind pushing in my face. Tightly i wrapped my legs around the small spruce pole, i pulled my whole body backwards and leaned left to straighten my broom. I heard people yelling from below me marvelling at the full 360 degree upside down turn i had just pulled off. After readjusting myself i pushed forward so close to the snitch. Quickly i turned my head to look at Malfoy to see him meters behind me. I refocused my eyes on the snitch i reached out my palm keeping one hand on the broom, i was so close to grasping it. Suddenly it ducked below me and i heard Malfoy's broom brushing against the air getting closer. I had no time to spare, people were watching intensely burning their eyes into Malfoy and i racing for the snitch. I tightened my legs to the broom;took a large deep breath in, i will not lose this game against Draco Malfoy. I let go of the broom with both hands and swung my whole body upside down completely relying on my legs gripping into the broom for my life. Finally at the same level as the snitch i reached out my palm ,my broom still speeding through the air. I grasped the snitch with one hand a pressed the other against the wood. Without slowing down i tilted my broom down to the pitch holding out the golden snitch in my right palm. Cheers and applause came from my team and Madame Hooch blew her whistle signalising that the game is over. I landed my broom and walked to towards the crowd and handed the snitch over to Hooch. "Well done Bellamy two games in a row, you should consider taking Harry's place as seeker" she laughed. Harry came up behind me grabbed me by the shoulder and spun me round. "Out did yourself again their Luce" he grinned from ear to ear. The team yelled their congratulations at me walking towards the changing room. It was when i saw Malfoy stood with his friends i felt my real pride, something about beating him made me feel so much better about the situation, like i had some sort of upper hand. I'm almost certain that this feeling will disappear later on but i may as well make the most of it while i can. I looked at Harry and signalled for him to walk over past them on our way back to the changing rooms. He followed shortly behind confused why i was so desperate to walk past them. I sauntered towards them making sure i was in perfect eye range of Malfoy. I looked at him and sneered "Better luck next time Malfoy, you'll need it". I could see the annoyance building up inside of him. He looked as though he was about to snap his Nimbus 2001 in half and javelin it right through me. Instead of taunting him more i left it there and carried on towards the changing room.
