wrong direction

"Where is Sam?" Harry asks as he sits in the great hall with the rest of the quidditch team. Oliver, Fred, and George all look around for the brown haired girl not seeing her at all.

Harry couldn't help but feel anxious not knowing where his sister was, normally before every game Samantha was right beside Harry giving him advice to calm down his nerves.

"I thought she was with Oliver. She wasn't there when we woke up." Alicia says worriedly as well.

"Now that you say that Alicia, it doesn't look like she slept in her bed at all." Angelina says as well.

Harry could feel the panic and his face started to pale. George noticed it immediately and rests a hand on the boys shoulder giving it a small squeeze.

"I'm sure she's okay Harry, she probably fell asleep in the library with Hermione again." George says trying to calm the 12 year old down, but Harry felt like something was wrong this wasn't like Samantha.

"It's alright Harry. If she doesn't show then we will pull in another chaser. She's probably just sleeping on top of some books." Oliver says giving Harry a small smile. Fred slightly glares at Oliver and his lack of worry of where his girlfriend is.

Harry just nods his head but he looks up at the tall red head beside him, he know George would believe him and his worries.

"Something is wrong George. Samantha is always with me before a game, always." Harry whispers and George looks down at him concerned.

George knew what Harry was saying was right, Samantha was always with him before the games. She was always worried the other teams may try to hurt him to sabotage the game.

Fred watches the two converse quietly and he couldn't help but panic internally. The last time Fred saw her was when she was walking out of the common room last night to go to the library with Granger and Wood.

"See you tomorrow Fredrick, don't miss me to much." Those were the last words he remembered her saying to him before she disappeared behind the portrait.

"Come on, let's go to the locker room to get ready. I'm sure Samantha is already there." Oliver says, mostly to try to cover up his nerves.

Everyone stands up and walks to the locker room, no one feeling better at all when the Gryffindor locker room was empty.

"She's not here." Harry whispers sadly.

"Come on Harry, I'll help you with your jersey." Alicia says gently taking the 12 year old to his locker so she can do what Samantha normally did.

Everyone on the team gets dressed and they could hear the shouting from the fields outside, but nothing felt right. With Samantha not here it didn't feel right.

As they walk out towards the entrance of the field and Oliver turns to look at his nervous team.

"Alright, listen up. Sure we are down a chaser, but if we play our game, Hufflepuff doesn't stand a chance." Oliver says trying to get his team some confidence, but it didn't seem to work making him frown as well.

"Maybe we should forfeit." Alicia says and Oliver looks at her like she was the craziest person on the planet.

"We can't forfeit!"

"Well we can't play without Sam! I can't play without her, she... she always..." Harry started to panic and the team looked at him worriedly.

Never had Harry Potter ever had a panic attack in front of anyone but Samantha and George. Luckily George knows how to calm him down. He quickly crouches down to Harry's height and grabs the top of his arms slightly tight, not enough to hurt him.
