InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Harry Potter with Inuyasha and the Lost Kingdom ❯ Gryffindor V.S. Slytherin ( Chapter 14 )

Gryffindor V.S. Slytherin

 

It was Saturday, normally everyone would have woken up late, but because there was a Quidditch match today everyone woke up a little earlier with excitement. Today was the day that Gryffindor would be playing against Slytherin in a Quidditch game. They all couldn't wait to see how Malfoy would seem when he would be watching his team play, knowing that he should have been playing as well. There was a rumor going around that Malfoy despised Slytherin's new Seeker almost as much as he hated Dumbledore for banning him from playing Quidditch. As Jhanie came down the stairs she saw Lyra waiting for her. “Hey Ly,” Jhanie said, “Mornin'” Lyra replied. “What do you want to do before the Quidditch match?” asked Jhanie. “Well Aease is with Hermione, Kags, and Sango in the library,” Lyra said. “Why?” asked Jhanie. “Apparently, that little bit of information about Voldemort looking for the Lost Kingdom has set Harry's mind reeling. So Hermione went down to search for a book on it” Lyra explained. “Speaking of Harry, where is he?” Jhanie asked. “He's gone down to the field to practice with Ron” Lyra answered. “Oh, well shouldn't we be going too?” asked Jhanie. “Hmmm… good point” Lyra said. “We can catch up with everyone after the game. For now let's go get something to eat.” Just then Sesshy came running into the room. “You'll never guess what happened!” Sesshy said in an angry yet breathless voice. Lyra sat him down in a chair, “Okay, Sesshy, what happened?” she asked in a worried tone. “Malfoy” he whispered. “Malfoy?” asked Jhanie worriedly, “What did Malfoy do to you?” “He's back on the Quidditch team” Sesshy said. “What?” Lyra shrieked, “That's impossible,” Jhanie said, she was very frustrated. “Go to Great Hall, InuYasha will tell you why” Sesshy said. Jhanie got up, “You go,” Lyra said to her, “I'll be there in a few minutes.” “Okay,” Jhanie replied, and left.

She hurried downstairs to the great hall and saw Aease and InuYasha waiting for her. “What's happening?” she asked, there was urgency in her voice. “Maybe you should sit down and eat something” Aease suggested. “No, I want to know now” Jhanie said sternly. Aease looked at InuYasha, “Eat first, then we'll tell you” he said. There was something different about being commanded to do something by a brother, more controlling and powerful. Jhanie quickly ate some toast, then demanded that they told her everything. They made their way towards the field. “Okay, so, this is what we heard” InuYasha said. “The Slytherin Seeker wasn't feeling well and went to Madame Pomfrey. Next thing we knew he was throwing up worms.” Aease explained. “Malfoy, said that he would gladly take the Seeker's position, just for this match. But-”, “Wouldn't Dumbledore have said something?” Jhanie interrupted. “I'm getting to that,” InuYasha said. “Dumbledore refused but, of course, Snape took Malfoy's side and said he would make a great Seeker and it would be a very loyal thing to do. After all, the Seeker would have wanted his team to win, so Malfoy would be helping the Seeker.” “Snape put up a huge argument and finally Dumbledore agreed,” Aease finished.

They had reached the Quidditch field. People were already starting to set up for the game. “I see you've heard about Malfoy” Harry said to Jhanie as he saw the angry look on her face. “Yeah, so what do we do now?” Jhanie asked. “Don't worry about it, I'll deal with Malfoy and the Snitch. All you have to worry about is making those goals.” Harry replied. “Why don't you start practicing with Ron,” he suggested, “it would be good for the both of you,” Jhanie agreed.

Jhanie had been giving Ron a tough time, Hermione was watching Ron and giving words of encouragement, but that just angered Ron more. “Hermione, SHUT UP! I'm TRYING to CONCENTRATE” he yelled as the Quaffel went past him and into the hoop. “I'm just trying to help!” said Hermione enraged. “Maybe we should take a break” Jhanie suggested. “A break would be nice” Ron said. “I don't think you're going to be able to ask Hermione to the ball by yelling at her” Fred whispered as he walked past Ron. They drank some water when Lyra and Sesshy had arrived. They practiced some more and Ron was getting into the game. They had only half an hour before the game began. They decided to relax a bit, since too much practice wasn't too good. Once they had all changed Harry went over the game plan once again. Professor McGonagall came and told them that everything was ready.

Lyra was nervous, Jhanie was REALLY nervous, but once the door opened and they saw the crowd cheering for them, everything went away. All those butterflies that we fluttering around in their stomachs had stopped and rested. Something in the air told them that they were going to win, and for once, it wasn't their powers, or at least, Jhanie's anyway. It was hope, the feeling they had been missing for the past few months had come back. They finally thought of Hogwarts as their school, and where they belonged. They walked onto the field, “Captains,” Madame Hooch, the flight instructor at Hogwarts said, “shake hands,” George gave Harry a push as he met Malfoy in the middle to shake hands. They mounted their brooms and flew up, about ten feet above ground. “Hello everybody,” said a booming voice louder than the cheering fans. “I'm Lee Jordan and I'll be your announcer today. Today's match is Gryffindor versus Slytherin!!!!!!!!!” They all cheered wildly, Madame Hooch opened the box where all the balls were, she released the Snitch, and the Two Bludgers. “Now, I want a nice, clean game, from all of you” she said. Everyone was hovering in a circle impatiently waiting for her to release the Quaffel.

Madame Hooch released the Quaffel, “The Quaffel is released,” Lee Jordan said. Everyone soared in to get the Quaffel, “And the game begins!” Lee shouted. “Angelina has control of the Quaffel, she's sandwiched in between two of the Slytherin chasers. But who's that? Someone just swiped the Quaffel away from Angelina! Oh its Jhanie, still with Gryffindor.” The crowd cheered, Jhanie really wanted to see how Harry was dealing with Malfoy, but she knew that it could lose her the game, so she kept her eyes on Lyra, who was the one she would throw it to. She was on the side with the Slytherin Keeper. “Lyra!” Jhanie shouted as she shoved the ball at her just before a Bludger was about to hit her. George came to the rescue and batted the Bludger away just before it could hit Jhanie. “And now Lyra, has the Quaffel, still with Gryffindor, she's making her way to the Slytherin goal posts.” Lee said excitedly. Lyra didn't know how good the Slytherin Keeper was, but she calculated how far the middle goal post was to the right one, she moved towards the right, knowing that the Keeper would follow her. What the Keeper didn't know was that she was aiming for the middle goal post. She looked straight into Slytherin's Keeper's eyes and without warning shoved the Quaffel into the middle post. “That's one point for Gryffindor!” Lee shouted. “The score is, Gryffindor: ten, Slytherin: zero.

The game was good, Ron was making great progress, and Jhanie, Angelina, and Lyra were all giving Slytherin what the needed, a total beat down, by girls. The score was close though, as Slytherin made one shot, Lee Jordan said, “Gryffindor: one hundred and ten, Slytherin: ninety”. Jhanie decided to risk a glance at Harry, Jhanie saw the Snitch and Harry and Malfoy racing to get it. Jhanie looked at Lyra, who was also watching Harry and Malfoy, she looked worried. Malfoy was a very good flyer and they were both neck in neck. Jhanie flew over to Lyra, “Go to that side of the field,” Jhanie said quickly pointing to the right side. “I'll go left, make sure we can sandwich Angelina.” Jhanie flew as fast as she could, under her she saw Harry and Malfoy, still neck and neck, but closer to the Snitch. She saw Angelina and caught up with her. A few seconds later, Lyra had shown up. “Okay, so this is what's going to happen” Jhanie started, she had already explained what was going on between Malfoy and Harry.

Angelina had agreed to Jhanie's plan, they were now at the same level as Harry and Malfoy. “As soon as Malfoy and Harry came, once she was sure Malfoy was in hearing distance, she started giggling, “…and you know, Draco's sooooooooo cute” she said to Angelina who was also giggling and nodding her head, approving. Harry heard this and was distracted, Malfoy was as well. Once Harry made eye contact with Jhanie she winked, that told him she was doing this to distract Malfoy. “What are Jhanie and Angelina doing?” Lee asked in surprise. “Now's not the time for chit-chat, get back in the game!” he yelled. Jhanie and Angelina had soared up in the air, Harry and Malfoy were both standing up on their brooms, now very close to the ground. “HOLY SHIT!” screamed Lee. Professor McGonagall eyed him angrily, “sorry professor” he said. Everyone was now standing up looking down on the field to see why Lee had been so amazed. Lyra gave Harry a small push that made him go forward, he made a somersault as he landed on the ground. His hands were cupped to his stomach as if he felt sick. Then closed his hands, the whole Gryffindor team was standing by him, he opened his hand, a tiny gold ball with wings was in it. “Harry Potter's caught the Snitch, and Gryffindor wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Lee announced. There was a huge roar and everyone was coming. The Quidditch team held Harry up and carried him across the field.
