Chapter 2-6: The Quidditch Game

"Desiree would you come on. We only have thirty minutes to eat and get down to the pitch before the match starts." Pansy called from the bottom of the stairs in the common room.

"Pansy I'm coming, I just had to grab my scarf." said Desiree.

The pair began to walk up to the great hall for breakfast before the big Gryffindor v. Slytherin Quidditch match.

"Hey where's Blaise? I figured he'd be going with us." said Desiree.

"He's going to meet us in the great hall because someone was taking too long." Pansy laughed.

"Oh shut it." laughed Desiree. "Look there he is." she said pointing to the Slytherin table.

"Blaise there you are." Pansy smiled.

"I'm right where I said I'd be." he said sarcastically.

"Right, well who's ready for the match?" asked Desiree.

"Um Desiree, it looks like someone might want to speak to you." Pansy said looking to a table behind them.

"Who?" said Desiree as she turned. She saw Cedric sitting at the Hufflepuff table, staring. "I'll be right back."

Desiree walked over to the Hufflepuff table and sat down in front of Cedric. "You know if you wanted to talk to me you could have just walked over instead of staring. Now Pansy thinks you've gone mad." she laughed.

"Oh you have jokes this morning." laughed Cedric.

"I do my best." Desiree said shrugging her shoulder and laughing. "So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"I wanted to see what you knew about the Chamber of Secrets. Knowing you, you've already done loads of research on it." he smiled.

"Are you mocking me?" she laughed.

"Maybe just a little." Cedric let out a little chuckle.

Desiree playfully rolled her eyes, "Well I actually have researched it, but I found nothing from that. McGonagall was actually the one that told us about it in Transfiguration. She said one of the founders of the school, Salazar Slytherin, built a chamber deep within the school that is home to a monster. She said that only the true heir of Slytherin is able to control this monster, a monster made to rid the school of all muggle-borns."

"Well, let's hope that it was just a student pulling a prank on the school. Maybe Fred or George, they love pulling pranks on people." said Cedric.

"Yeah that's true." Desiree paused, "Oh, I guess it's time to go down to the pitch. Pansy's waving me over. I'll see you later." she said as she stood up and waved goodbye to Cedric.

Desiree now walked up the Slytherin tower with Blaise and Pansy and sat down in the front row.

"So what did you and Cedric talk about?" asked Pansy.

"Nothing special. Just the Chamber of Secrets." said Desiree.

"I really need to talk to him about his conversation skills." Pansy laughed.

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation but they're coming out now." said Blaise looking over to Desiree and Pansy.

The Slytherin stands erupted in cheers as the team began to fly out onto the pitch. This was followed by a roar of cheers from the Gryffindor stands as their team flew out as well.

"How do you think Draco's going to do?" asked Pansy.

"For the sake of our team I hope he does well. But who are we kidding you know he's going to get distracted with trying to mess with Harry." said Desiree.

The game seemed to be going quite well. Slytherin was winning ninety to thirty.

"Hey look I think that bludger has been tampered with." Desiree said pointing to a bludger that was now following Harry.

"Blimey, I think you're right." said Blaise.

Harry had just managed to lose the bludger when Desiree heard Draco yell, "Training for the ballet Pottah?"

By this time Harry had begun zooming towards the snitch that was next to Draco's head.

"See what did I tell you. He got distracted by messing with Harry when the snitch is quite literally next to his head." Desiree said in disbelief.

Draco and Harry had now went under the stadium to chase the snitch, the bludger following them the entire time.

"One of them are going to get hurt. I can feel it." said Desiree.

Sure enough Draco came flying off of his broom and onto the pitch. Harry had managed to stay on his broom, however, the bludger hit one of his hands.

Desiree ran down to the pitch after Harry caught the snitch with Pansy and Blaise. "I'll meet you in the hospital wing." She yelled to Pansy and Blaise, who ran to Draco, while she ran to Harry.

Just as Desiree made it to Harry she yelled, "Finite Incantatem." this destroyed the bludger.

"Harry are you alright?" asked Hermione.

"No, I think my arms broken." Harry said grabbing hold of his arm.

"Not to worry, I can have that fixed up in no time." said Lockhart.

Harry detested to this, however, this was unsuccessful for Lockhart had already done the spell. As expected Lockhart had no idea what he was doing, so the bones in Harry's arms were completely gone.

After staying with Harry for a few hours in the hospital wing with Ron and Hermione, Desiree made her way to the Slytherin common room. She walked in to see Pansy sitting with Blaise and Draco. Desiree decided to sit down and actually talk with Draco.

"Are we on speaking terms again?" asked Draco.

"Well I figured you got what you deserved for what you said." she laughed.

"At least you're talking to me again." he smiled.

"Please just promise you won't say that word again. Besides some of the greatest witches and wizards weren't pure bloods." she pleaded.

"I suppose I can do that. But only for you." said Draco.

"It's about time you two made up." laughed Pansy.
