~the next week~
Today is a Saturday and I woke up naturally at 4:30, at 4:30! That must be a new record or something, because I'm never up before 7 o'clock. Well, except for that time I had the Quiditch training session with Oliver. I was up that early because of my nerves, today's mine and Harry's first Quiditch match. We're really nervous today because we don't want to screw this up. Our first game was against Slyhterin, so that should motivate me already. But Slytherin often plays dirty because well they're Slytherin, and they would hurt me on purpose so I need to be careful to not get any injury's. So I got dressed and woke Hermione and Cassidy up, I opened the curtains and let the setting morning sun shine into our room "Hermione, get your ass out of bed. Today is mine and Harry's first game and I'm really nervous so get dressed so I will be early." She groaned and flipped back over, "Seriously Hermione. The only day I want to get up early and you want to sleep in, oh hell no you're going to wake up." Then I smirked and was thinking of a fun way to wake her up, well a fun way for me. For Hermione not so much, I got the perfect plan. But first I need to wake up Cassidy, I walked to her bed and said "Lemon, wake up. Wake up!" she mumbled something, I think it was something like 'go the hell away'. "Lemon, Max is at the other side of the door should I let him in?" she shot up the most awake I've ever seen her. "What, no don't let him in. Omg, I need to dress NOW" she was done changing in two minutes, "Okay thank you, then I can now inform you that Max is still asleep". She walked over to me real slowly and picked up Hermione's book "God Damn It, DON'T*hit* DO*hit* THAT*hit* EVER *hit*AGAIN*hit*". Then she hit me more with her book so I ran downstairs where my team was waiting. "Alright Alright, I won't do it anymore. Can you now stop hitting me and let me explain my plan to wake up Hermione, Please?" she stopped hitting me and looked at me mischievously "Tell me". Then I saw the team "Sophie, where's Hermione? And why the hell are you up so early? We were trying to find a way to wake you up because we thought that you would sleep till tomorrow." Harry said to me. "Alright first, I tried to wake Hermione but she wouldn't butch so I thought of something but I need your help. I woke up Cassidy but she wasn't very happy with it, so she took Hermione's book and hit me repeatedly. By the way Lemon, you know Hermione will kill you right, that's her favourite book of all time. Well not as much as she want to kill me but still, I think she will kill us both but back to the plan. Second, Ouch. And third, I couldn't sleep because of the nerves. And fourth.... I don't have a fourth but just help me." Some of the people who were already downstairs chuckled, and then Harry glanced over the team and they all nodded their heads yes. "Okay, we will help you. What do we need to do?" I smirked and Cassidy, the twins and Lee joined me, the rest just looked terrified they all know of my love for pranks. When I told them the plan they relaxed, it wasn't a horrible though joke but it was a little bit mean and simple, but effective. I walked up the stairs and walked to my dorm, I watched back and the whole team and my other friends put up their thumps. I turned back around and sighed, then I walked inside and screamed "HERMIONE, WAKE UP. I JUST GOT A LETTER FROM PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL SAYING THAT CLASSES STARTS AT SIX THIRTY IN THE MORNING TODAY." She woke up scared and said "WHAT? NO, WHAT TIME IS IT?" "ITS ALREADY SIX FIFTEEN" "WHAT NO WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME" "I DID BUT YOU WOULDN'T WAKE UP" "WHAT, OMG I NEED TO CHANGE NOW. NO I'VE GOT NO TIME, I NEED TO GO NOW." Omg no, this is not what I wanted. She ran downstairs and saw everyone in the common room and she was still in her pyjama's. When she came downstairs her eyes widen and then she looked down and she was still in her pyjama's, she had a black sweatpants and a white shirt on. Then she turned to me and she glared so hard that I could just feel it bore into my head, my face paled and then she said "Sophie", "yeah" I asked a little scared. "Run, YOU'RE SO DEAD" then I got the message "oh shit" then I run like a zombie was chasing me, "Mione I'm sorry" I kept screaming over my shoulder. But I stopped because I constantly crashed into things, I run past a few Ravenclaw third years and yelled "Move, Move. Move otherwise I will be dead. Seriously, what don't you get in the sentence 'move or otherwise I'm dead'?" A few people were laughing at my comment, I run past the tables of the quietly talking and eating Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and Slytherins, they all looked up confused. I ran because behind me was a murderous Hermione and behind her there was my quiditch team and friends who were scared as hell, so now I know what happens when you make Hermione mad and it's something I will never do again. Then I ran to the teachers table and hide behind professor Dumbledore. Then she stopped and I saw her clam down, then I said "Hermione I'm really sorry but I just really wanted you to wake up. I mean you've always waking me up and the one day I want YOU to wake up, you bail on me". I told her, then she said "Okay, I accept your apology." Then I smiled a little and said "So your not going to kill me, are you?" I waited scared for her answer, it looked like she would say that she was going to kill me. "Love you best friend and sista from another mista" then I saw her smile and relax. She said "No, I'm not going to kill you". Professor Dumbledore chuckled and then I remembered that I was still hiding behind professor Dumbledore, "Oh I'm sorry professor, I was just trying not to get murdered. Because Hermione can get pretty scary." The Gryffindors laughed and the teachers were smiling too. "It's okay miss. Potter, I would hide behind me too if miss. Granger was chasing me." I smiled and the other students and teachers laughed too, well everyone but the Slytherins. Then the team, Hermione, my friends and me went to our table to eat our breakfast. Our team sat next to each other, I of course sat in between Fred and George. Then Oliver told us to eat good with proteins and healthy food blablabla. I don't care, then my pizza arrived "yay, pizza". Then Oliver looked at me and took my plate and said "no, no pizza. You need to eat healthy food". Then Fred and George said "ooh, bad move Oliver". He looked at the twins and he was rather mad "oh yeah, and why is that Weasley's?" "Because without Pizza Soph is just angry and annoying and she won't want to do a single thing." Then Oliver looked at Cassidy and Hermione, and Cassidy said "You should listen to them, it's true. Without pizza she's like a mix monster of Godzilla, King Kong, the hulk and a dragon". Then he looked at Harry and Max and they both nodded, well everyone nodded. Then he gave me back my pizza and I ate the whole thing in just 10 minutes. Everyone looked at me, "what? Cant a girl eat a pizza in peace?" "No, it's just that you ate that whole thing in 10 minutes and you're a girl" Ron said. Oh no, he just didn't. Then his face fell because he knew what was coming "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!" I yelled at him and he cowered away. "You know it's really sexist to just assume that because I'm a girl I can't eat a pizza in 10 minutes. And just because that I'm NOT Ronald Weasley I can't stuff all sorts of food at the same time in my mouth, that's just really sexist. So say sorry Ronald". "Sorry Sophie" he said to me real scared. "Alright, I forgive you. But only because you're my friend". The whole Gryffindor table was laughing and then Oliver spoke up "Alright you lot, it's time to go to the quiditch pitch." We all walked towards the pitch and then we went into the locker room to change into our gear. I changed and I picked up my new Nimbus 2000 which I got from professor McGonagall, Harry got one too. I was pacing around the room and Fred, George, Harry and Oliver were watching me to see if I would break down, which was pretty reasonable at this moment. Harry came to me because he knows that I pace when I'm nervous and said "Soph, just calm down. Everything will be alright". "Are you sure?" I asked my twin brother. "Yes of course, it will all be alright and you will be amazing. I just know it, we will both be amazing". Then the rest of my team told me "YOU WILL DO AMAZING", and then my favourite red headed twins said "And, can you please shut up now?". "Well of course Freddie dear, just because you asked it very nicely" I said to him while smiling. We went to the front of the locker room where we can go through a curtain to go to the pitch, I was pretty nervous but I had Harry by my side so it will be alright. Then Oliver came to stand beside us and he said "Scared Harry, Sophie?" we nodded and said "yeah, a little". He smiled comfortingly and said "I felt the same way before my first game". "What happened?" I asked him, "I uh.... Don't really remember. I took a bludger to the head 2 minutes in." He paused and said "I woke up in the hospital a week later", Harry and I looked really scared to each other and then it was time to go. Then I heard my other best friend Lee yelling through the speakers "And now I present you one of the best teams in this school. I don't think they even need a introduction, because in the team my three best friends who are the most amazing quiditch players ever. Yes, Sophie, Fred and George I'm talking about you. By the way Soph, I was thinking would you want to have another sleep over tonight cause it's pretty lonely only with the twins." Then I heard professor McGonagall scolding Lee, "Lee, hold on to the commentary and you can ask girls out in your own time". "Alright professor, I present to you the amazing and awesome Gryffindors." I rolled my eyes and laughed, you got to love him. Fred, George and I looked at each other comfortingly and then we stepped on our broom and flew off. Everyone was yelling and I saw Max, Hermione, Cassidy, Ron, Neville, Seamus, Dean and Hagrid, of course there were more people because the whole school came but I saw them first and they held up banners, some with "GO POTTERS" with a lion under it because it's our mascot sort of thing. Then they had other ones with "GO GRYFFINDOR" and of course it had a lion on it. I flew towards Angelina and Alicia and we flew rounds around the pitch, then it was time to introduce the Slytherins. "And here I present to you the worst team ever in history Slytherin, they can only play dirty and I swear if you hurt Sophie I'm going to hurt you so badly you can't even stay on a broom for the rest of your life. I unfortunately present you the Slytherin team" he said rather annoyed. "LEE" professor McGonagall scolded him, it was really funny and I laughed and winked at Lee. Then he jumped on his bench he sat on and said "Yes finally, one of the best chasers ever just winked at me. This is a dream come true, see Fred and George I knew she loved me. LOVE YOU SOPHIE" he said to me, he got scolded again. I laughed and said "I LOVE YOU TOO LEE" while blowing him a kiss. He pretended like he caught it, he's really one of the best friends ever. Then the Slytherins came and I can already tell this match is going to be interesting, we were flying and doing loop's and turns practically everything to just score points. And I was right, they played dirty. Real dirty, they kicked Alicia of her broom and luckily I caught here before she would fall a long way down to the ground. Then it was my turn to get some points. I flew next to Angelina and she passed me the quaffle "Go get it" she told me while flying next to me. I nodded and flew faster than I've ever done, I passed a few Slytherins who wanted to kick me but I threw it back to Angelina. "Good teamwork from two of the lovely ladies from Gryffindor", then a Slyhterin I think his name was Pucey came to me and kicked me hard in my stomach. Luckily Angelina had the quaffle, then I hold my stomach and I almost throw up. Then I heard Lee yell "WHAT! OH HELL NO, PUCEY YOU'RE DEAD! YOU HURT OUR SOPHIE YOU'RE SO DEAD, I WILL HEX YOU, I WILL FEED YOU TO THE SQUID, I WILL FEED YOU TO THE ANIMALS IN THE FORBIDDEN FOREST, I WILL LET YOU GET KILLED BY THE WHOPPING WILLOW YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT, YOU BLOODY GIT I WILL... I WILL". I saw Lemon and the others yelling "PUCEY YOUR DEAD". When he was thinking of other ways to kill him professor McGonagall silenced him and said "Lee Jordan, I know that your concerned about your friend but we're not going to kill anyone." "But professor?..." "No Lee, and now go on with the commentary. "Yo Lee, I'm alright now. Okay?" I said while flying past him, he looked at me unsure and said "OKAY, I WON'T KILL HIM. BUT I DIDN'T PROMISE TO NOT HURT HIM, AND NO GO ON SOPHIE AND KICK SOME SLYTHERIN BUTT". I chuckled a little and then I flew back to the hoop of the Slytherin team, I got a free throw from madam Hooch and I was the only one there and the keeper of the team Marcus Flint. He looked at me evilly and I glared at him, the stupid git. Then I noticed the whole pitch was quiet and they were waiting till I would throw the quaffle and score, or not score there are a lot of scenario's possible. I thought of a way to get past him and then I remembered a shot from soccer when I played it with my dad. I faked that I would throw left and he flew left, then I threw it to the right and it went through the hoop. "Yes" I heard a lot of people scream, well all the houses but Slytherin. "WOOHOO GO SOPHIE, KICK THEIR ASS" Lemon said, I laughed. The score was now 20-20, shit Harry need to get the snitch and fast. Then Harry's broom was doing crazy things, I don't know why but suddenly his broom was squirming and trying to throw Harry of. "What the hell is happening to Harry, I thought that brooms didn't try to murder the people who ride him?" "Yes, and especially not a Nimbus 2000. That's just not possible" Alicia told me. I looked at Harry and then I looked at Alicia and Angelina, they understood and nodded while smiling encouragingly at me. I nodded with a smile and I flew back to Harry, when I flew under Harry I said "Harry, hang on". "Oh yeah what else do I need to do Sophie, let go", "Shut up Harry and let me help you" I told him. The twins were next to me and they tried together with me to get him down but the whole time when we wanted to come closer the broom shot up higher and higher, it was like it was possessed. But that's crazy, I mean who want to kill him? Okay Snape doesn't like him but he's not the killing type, he's more the 'I hate him in silent' type. Then he almost fell of and he could only held on to his hands, shit I'm really panicking now. I mean he's my little brother if anything happens to him its my fault, I screamed "Harry, I don't care what you do but don't let go" he rolled his eyes at me, seriously in this time of moments when he almost dies he still has the power to roll his eyes at me it's very impressive. "OH LOOK AT THAT, SOMEONE MESSED WITH THAT BROOM. I DON'T KNOW WHO DID THIS BUT I'M GOING TO KILL THAT PERSON, NOBODY COMES AT THE LITTLE BROTHER OF ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS. BUT I'M 99% SURE THAT IT'S A SLYTHERIN" Then McGonagall scolded him again but I didn't listen to her, I was thinking of ways to not let my little brother die. I heard the last thing she said "Lee we're not going to kill anyone and now do your job". I went to fly under him so I could catch him when he would fall and the wins followed my example, then it just stopped. He crawled back on his broom and then he saw something because he flew away immediately, "Really Harry, no thank you Sophie, Fred and George that you guys didn't let me die. Or what about a Thanks Soph you're the best sister ever?" I said after him. I shook my head and flew back to my post, then Angelina came to me and said "I saw that your brother didn't die", "Yeah, and I don't even get a thank you". "Brothers" we said at the same time, we laughed and then Alicia came with the quaffle and when I wanted to catch it a Slytherin bumped against Alicia and she let the quaffle fell. She looked rather disappointed "Come on Alicia, don't be sad you did amazing. Just like you Angelina" I told them and then they were determined to win just like me and we raced after the Slytherin boy, he wanted to score but Oliver blocked it and gave a cocky grin. I gave him a thumps up and flew away to the other side again. And then I saw Harry and the seeker from the Slyhterin team, I think his name was Terrence, dive. Then Harry flew and he got up to stand on his broom, he managed and then he fell face first to the sand and he was almost chocking. I flew as fast as I could downstairs to the ground and I patted him on the back, "Harry is everything alright?" I asked him concerned. Then he spit something out in my hands "Oh Harry, that's just gross" I told him while I looked disgustingly at the with spit covered snitch in my hand. Then Harry hold it in his hand for everyone to see, then Lee shouted through the speakers "HARRY POTTER GOT THE SNITCH, GRYFFINDOR WON THE GAME WITH 170 to 20". I was so happy I congratulated him and hugged him real long and ten the other team members joined in the hug too. Then I saw Max, Hermione, Cassidy, Ron, Neville, Seamus, Dean and Hagrid who were running toward us and they all hugged me and Harry. Then Hagrid hugged us two and said "Blimey yeh too, thet was bloody amazing." And Lemon said "Damn Harry, you scared us. I'm glad you didn't die. And Sophie, does your stomach hurt, cause I will kill that stupid git" I laughed "No Lemon, Mission aboard, I repeat Mission aboard". Then it was time to go back to the great hall to eat and honestly I'm so hungry that I can eat a whole horse, not for real of course it's just a saying. Then I sat in between Fred and George and across from Lemon and Mione and I ate four whole plates, I even ate more than Ron and that says something. We talked and laughed the whole dinner and then we needed to go to bed, when I was in the common room Hermione and Cassidy told me that she saw Snape was the one who messed with Harry's broom. He was saying words under his breath and he was keeping eye contact with Harry's broom, and everyone knows that those two things are the most important ones when you do an incantation. Then I remembered that I needed to go to the infirmary because of my bruised stomach, that stupid Pucey. The next time I see him I'm going to hex him, that stupid bloody git. But the twins, Cassidy and Lee were already planning on a prank for him, and I was of course brainstorming like crazy. We eventually decided to put something in his drink so he would change into a girl, this is going to be epic. I went to the infirmary and the twins, Cassidy and Lee were walking with me for moral support although I didn't need it, but it was nice to have your best friends with you. So we walked and on the way we talked and made jokes, we came at the infirmary and madam Pomfrey immediately saw me and she was totally fussing about me. "Please madam Pomfrey, calm down it was nothing" then George became a little mad and said "It was nothing, really Sophie it was nothing. That bloody git almost killed you". "I know Georgie, but it's not that bad it's just blue." I said while putting a comforting hand on his shoulder, then madam Pomfrey treated my wounds and then when she was done we went back to the dorm of Fred, George and Lee. Lemon saw me and George and mouthed 'he sooooo likes you' while winking. I first went to my dorm with Hermione, Cassidy and to get changed, then me and Cassidy went to the dorm of my 3 best friends and we didn't have a pillow fight because we were too tired. Instead we just went to hug each other good night, but not before I got a few jokes about me and George. Then I went to bed, and I couldn't sleep so I just stood up and I went to George's bed. I was going to be teased anyways so I didn't care anymore, "Sup Georgie" I whispered to him. "Hey" he said sleepily, which was amazing because a boy's sleepy voice is one of the most hottest things ever. He shove over so I could lay next to him and I laid on his chest and then I fell asleep, while listening to his steady heartbeat. Well steady, his heartbeat sped up a little. Could it be because of me? No, that's just not possible. And then I finally fell asleep, without a single nightmare.
