Beauty and the Beast (Remus Lupin)

52.

"What the bloody hell is he doing?!" Rose yelled.

"He's gonna lose us the match, that's what." Seamus said.

Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were plying against one another in quidditch. Ron was still in the hospital wing so Harry had brought in Cormac to play as Keeper.

However, Cormac was incapable of actually just playing one position.

"I swear I'm going to hex him when see him." Rose angrily spoke.

"Harry looks like he might just do the same." Seamus agreed. "Come on! Hit it!" He yelled at Cormac.

"Please, the only person who's got a chance at actually hurting Cormac is Rose." Hermione said.

"Look! Now he's got Harry distracted!" Rose pointed out.

Harry had flown over to Cormac who was now showing a boy how to play as a beater, "If you wanted to be a beater you should've tried out as one!" Seamus yelled.

Then Cormac swung at a bludger and it hit Harry right in the head, "No!" Rose pointed to wand at Harry and stopped him before falling from that far up.

But before anything could've happened, someone had caught the snitch. Hooch took Harry to the hospital wing as Hufflepuffs stormed onto the field to celebrate.

"I swear I'll get that man." Rose stood up with Seamus and Hermione following her onto the field.

Ginny was yelling at Cormac before she hurried off. Even Dean had an argument with him, "Rose, be careful." Hermione said.

"Be careful?! Are you mad?!" Seamus said in disbelief, "you show him what happens when he pulls a stunt like that!" Seamus said.

"You!" Rose pointed at Cormac, "How dare you be so ignorant! So mindless! So thick in the head!"

"We lost, so what? No one was playing good." Cormac snapped back.

Rose swung her fist and hit Cormac in the nose.

Seamus and Dean started laughing. Hermione grabbed Rose, "that's enough. You'll get in trouble!"

"He deserved it! He's too full of himself to know the difference form right and wrong! Broken Harry's skull because he's got to show off!" Rose said.

"Calm down, you freak!" Cormac slowly stood up.

"Rose...Your hair...Lets just go..." Hermione said.

"If you ever consider doing something this foolish once more and I'll be sending you off to St. Mungos!" Rose yelled before she and Hermione walked off the field.

"He's off the team for sure." Hermione huffed, "out of everyone, he chose this senseless disgrace."

"Miss Belle." Mcgonagall stopped them, "May we have a word about your engagement with Mr. McLaggen?"

"I told you..." Hermione whispered.

"Sure..." Rose clutched her fists.

"I hope you know the cost of your dangerous behavior after the match. It goes against all school rules, but...It doesn't mean expulsion for something so little." Mcgonagall sat at her desk, "and I would be mad if I didn't punish you for it. However, before I take extreme measures, I wish to know why you did what you did?"

"Professor Mcgonagall, I would never do anything without intentions. I was just furious over Cormac being so dimwitted. He broke Harry's skull all because he thought his way is better than everyone else's." Rose said, "I'll apologize."
