THERE IS AN IMPORTANT MATCH TODAY, and I did something I shouldn't have done. I sit down on the Slytherin table and my eyes go to the table of Gryffindor where Jo sits. "Today is the big game. Our last chance to beat your ass." Charles says as he takes a sip of his pumpkin juice. "You are not going to though. Our team is strong this year." "Yeah who are your new beaters?" Theo asks while looking at me. "Keanu Astor and August Lloyd will have the beater position this year. We also got Darcia Coldwell." I say coldly. "Wait, but you only needed two new players. What happened? Who quit?" Charles looks confused but I don't give in. "Wouldn't you like to know?" I smile while finishing my food. After I stand and look at the boys. Charles quickly gets up as well, just like the others. "Nate, Cassius, we should go, we have an early team meeting." "Why?" Charles and Theo ask at the same time. "Because I made a change in the attack." I quickly make up. "See you later, Garfield." I grin as I bite my lip and put a string of hair behind my ear. "Definitely," he flirts back and after we walk away. When we walk past the table of Ravenclaw Darcia, Keanu, Lianna and August step in as well.
We arrive in the changing room and Jo is already waiting there. "What are you doing here, Merriweather?" "We have a game to play..-" She sounds a bit insecure when answering my question. "Oh god, you didn't get the owl?" Lie, I never send an owl. I did this to hurt her. "What owl?" She questions confused. "You are not playing this game, Josephine," I say and all of the other team members look at me confused. "What?" "I benched you. You are not playing today. Next game will be your game-" "You know what? If you don't want me now you can never have me! I quit!" She rips off her chaser badge and roughly shoves it in my hands. The others now look at me. "Luce?" "Get to the field. I will be right behind you. Darcia is already filled in about our techniques, now is it your job to make her feel welcome." They all walk to the field and I turn around to the place my best friend is still walking. While she is walking away, the Slytherin team is marching towards me. "What was that all about?" Noah, "why isn't she going to the field?" Theodore asks confused as he follows the girl with her eyes. "Because she is not playing- now if you excuse me I have a game to win." I want to walk away but Charles grabs my arm. "Are you okay, Luce?" "I am, good luck winning this game, Charles," I say with a wink and after I go to the field.
We are far ahead and Darcia is playing absolutely amazing. Slytherin plays dirty but for the first time in years, we play dirtier. Bludgers are flying around smacking people off there broom and even the audience had to dive away a few times. I throw the quaffle through one of the rings and only moments later we hear. "COLLINS SCORES! 10 POINTS FOR RAVENCLAW!" Now Slytherin has the quaffle but not for long because I crash Emma Vanity as I get it from her. I throw the quaffle to Darcia who scores again. "COLDWELL SCORES! AGAIN 10 POINTS FOR RAVENCLAW! THEY PLAY DIRTY TODAY!" I smile a bit while grinning. It's 200-160 now, we are actually winning. Emma gets back up and races towards Lucinda Talkalot, grabs her bat and smacks the bludger in my direction. It looks like it's going to miss me, but I was wrong because the bludger hits a part of my broom. It breaks in two and suddenly I am falling down. "Lucy!" I hear from different sides. I am trying to reach my wand but I can't find it. Fuck! Suddenly someone catches me. I open my eyes, my breath is quick and when my eyes meet his brown eyes. "Charles," I whisper as he puts me to the ground. He wants to get up again but I stop him. "Wait-" I say as I pull him closer. "Can you just kiss me right now?" "What? Are you sure?" He says and his eyes go to my lips. "Garfield, get back up here!" Emma yells but he ignores it. His whole body is only focussed on me. "Yes, definitely," I whisper as I come closer. His lips roughly touch mine and directly my hands go to his hair while his' lay on my back. God, I missed this so bad. The audience cheers hard while both of our teammates are just annoyed. I let go of him and our heads rest against each other. "Fuck, you don't know how long I wanted to do that." "You can tell me that later, for now, I am going to win my match," I whisper back with a small grin. "You don't have a broom." "Oh but I do." I grin while licking my lips. After I step away from him, grabbing his broom. I run for a moment and after I jump on. "Lucy! Get back here!" "Oh hell no!" I yell back while leaving him there on the ground.
