The Slytherin Prophecy | Cedric Diggory | Draco Malfoy | Harry Potter

Chapter 20

Everyone from every house and age began making their way towards the quidditch pitch to watch tryouts and see who would be the star players for this years quidditch teams. Coral knew Draco was going to make it. She followed parallel to Draco as he rushed down the hallways with his broom.

"You're going to do amazing Draco! Go out there and kick some Gryffindor ass." She yelled hyping him up.

He smirked, dripping with confidence. This was the moment he had been waiting for ever since he came to Hogwarts. She hoped only the best for Draco at this point. They quickly reached the quidditch pitch shortly after, and were parted ways as she made her way up into the viewing stands of Slytherin to cheer him on.

Coral narrowed her eyes searching for Crabbe and Goyle. Just after a few seconds, she spotted them and quickly made her way over plopping herself next to them in an empty seat. The weather was rather cold outside, also looking like it were to rain. Luckily, all the snow left over from Christmas had melted. Sirens began going off signaling try-outs were about to start. Students watched as players zipped and zoomed everywhere around the field from all four house's. Quidditch was definitely something interesting to Coral, maybe she'd have to try it for herself.

"WELCOME TO THE TWENTY FITH ANNUAL QUIDDITCH TRY OUTS. FIRST WE ARE STARTING OFF WITH GRYFFINDOR VERSUS SLYTHERIN. AFTER, WE WILL HOST RAVENCLAW VERSUS HUFFLEPUFF. WE WILL BE STARING IN A FEW MINUTES AS PLAYERS PREPARE THEMSLEVES AND RECEIVE INSTRUCTIONS."

All this cheering was getting Coral excited. This was her first real game of quidditch she'd get to watch. Just across the stadium, Neville and Seamus looked as if they were about to hyperventilate from excitement. Coral focused on Draco, her eyes growing wide, seeing he was working on flying towards the Slytherin seats. Draco zoomed, quickly stopping in front of Coral, Crabbe, and Goyle.

"Wish me luck." Draco yelled through the loud winds in the hair.

Coral smiled back and nodded. She didn't think she had ever seen Malfoy this happy before. It must have been quidditch, it was something he really wanted to do his entire life. It made her happy knowing she helped him accomplish something that meant so much to him.

"THE GAME IS NOW BEGINNING, ON THE WHISTLE OF THE REFEREE, PLAYERS WILL BEGIN THE GAME. JUDGING WILL BE BASED ON HOW WELL THE PLAYER PLAYS WITH HIS TEAM AND THE SKILL LEVEL OF THE PLAYER. LET THE GAMES BEGIN! GOOOO TEAM!"

Seconds after, the loud sound of a high pitched sports whistle filled the stadium, as players zoomed at maximum speed fighting for the quaffel. Coral watched as Harry Potter and Draco flew in opposite directions than everyone else trying to catch the golden snitch. Potter and Malfoy were violently racing eachother around the pitch to try to find the snitch. She furrowed my eyebrows when she noticed they were actually bumping into eachother, to try to knock eachother off their brooms instead of actually finding the snitch.

"Boys, they never learn." Coral huffed to Crabbe and Goyle as Potter and Malfoy continued to go at it for several minutes.

Both Crabbe and Goyle looked at Coral as she was insane.

"SLYTHERIN HAS GOTTEN THE QUAFFEL IN THE HOOP. TEN POINTS FOR SLYTHERIN"

To her surprise, the snitch flew directly in front of Coral causing her to gasp. It just stood flying in place in front of her not moving. Harry were the first to spot it quickly pushing Malfoy out of the way nearly knocking him off his broom. Before she knew it, her view was full of Harry Potter flying in her direction at full speed. She was terrified that he was going to come crashing into her from the pitch.

This snitch was going to be the cause of my death. This snitch and Harry Potter.

Harry tugged at his broom, causing his speed to decrease as the snitch took off in the opposite direction. Harry's face dropped, as he realized the person that were to be waiting behind the stalling snitch, was Coral.
