Brave

Oh Deer

Aurora decided to tell Harry, Hermione, and Ron that they couldn't be friends anymore after the match. She figured that if she was going to do this, at least they could win the match first.

She walked to the Quidditch pitch after breakfast with the rest of the Gryffindor team and they put the rest of the quidditch gear on. 

"Are you excited for the match?" she awkwardly asked Harry, trying to get her mind off of the fact that in a couple hours, she was going to end their friendship.

"I don't know.... What if the dementors come again and I can't cast a Patronus? Every time they come near me I faint, and it makes me feel weak. I hate feeling weak."

"Harry, you are not weak. You are one of the strongest people I know. It's okay that you faint near the dementors. One of the times you protected me from them. If you didn't, I would have probably fainted too," Aurora comforted, holding one of his hands. 

Harry tried to hold in his blush, but failed. "Th-thanks," he stuttered. Aurora smiled in return.

"Okay team! Circle up!" Oliver Wood said nervously. For the past week he had been bothering the team with quidditch strategies so that they could win.

Oliver began his normal speech, shaking with nervousness. "This is it. We have to win this match. If we don't there's no chance for us to win the Quidditch cup!" He exclaimed. The 7th year was clearly to nervous to continue. With no time left before the match, the group lined up and walked out of the tent and on the quidditch pitch.

The Ravenclaw captain and Oliver shook hands, and both teams flew into the sky. Aurora drowned out Lee Jordan's' commentating as she searched for the quaffle. One of the Ravenclaw chasers were holding it, zooming towards the goal. Aurora quickly flew over to the person, snatching the quaffle out of their hand. She shot towards the Gryffindor goal posts and threw the red ball through the middle hoop.

"Aaaaannnd that's ten points for Gryffindor!" Lee Jordan yelled, happy that the Gryffindor team made the first goal. After about half an hour, it was 120 to 60- Gryffindor was in the lead. As Aurora was about to pass the Quaffle to Angelina Johnson, she heard screaming from the other side of the field.

Aurora looked down and saw that there were three things that resembled dementors. However, something about them was off. 

"Expecto Patronum!" she heard Harry yell from the other side of the pitch, clearly not realizing that the dementors weren't actually dementors. He had just caught the snitch when he realized that they were there. The quidditch players flew their brooms to the ground. Aurora ran towards the rest of the Golden Quartet and congratulated Harry on catching the snitch.

"I did it!" Harry said, excited that they won the match and successfully used the patronus spell. He wasn't even that upset that he didn't form a shape of an animal with the spell.

"About that..." Hermione said. She led the group over to where a bunch of students and professors were grouped together. They went through the crowd and they saw that the dementors were actually Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle.

"Oh deer," Aurora said, shaking her head and chuckling at Professor McGonagall scolding them.

I don't own Harry Potter. The series belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own Aurora and anything you don't recognize from the books or movies.
