Quidditch
14:51, 15 April 2018Krystal's POV
"YOU ARE GOING DOWN!" I screamed to Draco as we walked to breakfast. "ABSOLUTELY NOT! SLYTHERIN WILL WIN THIS MATCH!" He screamed back. We were arguing about Quidditch and everyone was watching...and closing their ears.
"Let's see then", he smirked. "Don't go easy on me, sweetheart", he winked. "I wasn't thinking of that at all", I truthfully said. "Good then", he said.
We entered the hall and were greeted by cheers as they're excited to see their two seekers for today's match. The Gryffindors roared the loudest. "We're cheering for you with all our hearts, Krystal!!!" Fred and George screamed. I giggled and mouthed a 'thanks'.
We sat at our seats and exchanged glances of competitiveness.
"I hope you win, Krystal!" Cho said with a nice smile. I smiled back. But the bitter feeling I have against her was still there in me, even though rumors were that she and Harry were over. "We'll be cheering for the Ravenclaws", another Ravenclaw said. The support was amazing. Harry tapped me from behind and the golden trio showered me with support and compliments. "You'll do very well! You have great skills", Hermione said with a re-assuring smile. "Let's hope its good enough to beat Malfoy though. We can't be too bloody confident mate", Ron said. I nodded my head in agreement.
"Well Krystal will always be a winner in my eyes", Harry said, his eyes were shimmering with light. I looked down so he won't notice me blushing. "Thanks, Harry. T-that means a lot to me", I said, my voice very soft and quiet.
"She's blushing oh my god", Chalisa whispered to Ron, though I could hear it. Hopefully Harry didn't. "Me and Sherlyn will support you!!" Chalisa said. "But...we do have to still support Felicia cause she's also our friend", she added. "I understand", I smiled. Felicia was a Slytherin chaser.
Later on, I could see Ron walking over to a girl. I barely spoke to her. She was Angelina but 'Angel' for short. They started talking and seems like they were gushing over each other. I chuckled and gave Hermione a glance. She seemed neither upset/bother nor happy as she looked at them, she was unfazed by the situation.

"Hey, Krystal, we have Transfiguration together right now, right?" Harry asked. I nodded.
We entered the classroom and sat next to each other. Professor McGonagall told us to transfigurate water to rum. I did it in a swift motion. "Perfect, Ms. Eleanor. You too Ms. Granger", the professor said. "5 points for both of your houses!" she exclaimed. As I looked beside me to Harry, I saw that he was struggling. "Potter, you're doing the flick of the wand wrong! Would you help him please, Ms.Eleanor?" the professor said. I nodded.
"Ok, Harry you have to do this", I said as I moved my wand correctly. He tried to copy it, but failed. "N-no you have to do it like this", I said as I took his hand and swayed it the correct way. Chalisa, Hermione and Ron were looking at us with smirks on their faces. I tried to ignore them.
"You get it now?" I asked. "Y-yeah", he said. I saw that his cheeks were rosy. He was blushing. And that made me blush too. Chalisa coughed. "We're turning water to rum...not romance", Chalisa muttered suddenly. The whole class laughed. Me and Harry went very red.
I could see Cho look at me and Harry in a sad way. I was thinking about it a lot as class continued.
TIME SKIP
I entered the Quidditch stadium, the Hogwarts students in the bleachers were cheering loudly. "It's been a while", I said to myself. "Krystal, you ready to lose?" Draco cockily said. "Nope. Are you?" I asked. He left with a smile.
I got to my broom. All the players were ready and within a minute, all of us were high up in the sky. The others doing their things while me and Draco scan the place in search for the snitch. I got a glance of it and immediately flew from my place in attempt of catching it. Draco followed. But soon, I couldn't see where it was. A tiny small ball it was...
As I searched for it, it seemed like Draco got a sight of it as he sped to a certain direction as he passed me. I followed him, anticipating the snitch. Ravenclaw was in the lead so far but it wasn't a huge gap so I had to finish the game by grabbing the snitch.
When I followed Draco, the cheers got even louder as the snitch became very visible. I sped up to catch it and caught up with it Draco. "It's right there-" I said as I tried to reach it but couldn't. It flew away and me and Draco came flying side to side for it, trying to speed up faster than the other. "Damnit", I muttered as Draco was nearer to the snitch than I was.
And as he was about to grab the snitch I flew quickly and as I was trying to grab it as well. But ended up aggressively attacking his broom, causing him to lose balance.
And he fell off his broom.
He screamed as he fell to the ground. I gasped and immediately flew to him. He was groaning and Madam Pomfrey immediately approached him. "Oh my god, Draco, are you alright? It was an accident, I swear! I'm sorry", I said, can't helping but feel bad. "It hurts", he said. But then he smiled. He opened his palm which was in a position of a fist. It was the golden snitch. "I told you that you were gonna lose, Eleanor", he said. Suddenly, all the 'feeling bad' turned to anger. How did I not realize he took that snitch right before he was falling? "I'm sorry I let you down guys", I shouted to my Ravenclaw teammates. Draco was taken to the hospital wing while I stood there in the field, stunned that I had just lost to him. I felt bad and guilty. How are my Ravenclaws going to react?
I gulped as they announced that Slytherin won. "Ugh whyy", I moaned. "You should've focused on catching the snitch and not suddenly become concerned about Malfoy", one of the Ravenclaw beaters said. "That'd be too mean, don't you think?" I stated. "I'm mad too that I didn't win. It's not only you, don't worry", I added with a frown on my face.
We exit and met back in the school. I was approached by the golden trio. "Losing sucks, huh?" Ron asked. "Of course it does", I said, obviously still annoyed that I didn't win. "Well...you're still good at Quidditch. Just a sudden the turn of events prevented it to be showed", Hermione said. "That Malfoy. What if he purposely fell off his broom? What if he's doing that to make you feel sorry? Or even maybe just to distract you?!" Ron questioned. "I'm pretty sure not. Don't think so bad about him", I replied. "I agree with Hermione", Harry said. I gave him a weak smile. "You're just kind enough to be concerned about him, Krystal", he said. I gave him another same smile. "I probably should check up on him in the hospital wing tomorrow", I said. "It'd be the nice thing to do as I'm the reason he's physically hurt", I said. "Yeah. Give him a piece of your mind", Hermione said. "Why?" I chuckled. "For winning", Ron answered. I raised an eyebrow and laughed. The three of them laughed along.
I parted ways with them and made my way to the Ravenclaw common room. I was almost sure that all the Ravenclaws were there. My face turned to a face full of disappointment, just like the other Ravenclaws'. "I'm sorry guys", I apologized. I sighed. "It's alright, Krystal. We'll win next time", Luna said. "Won't we?" She said, looking at the other Ravenclaws. Most of them nodded. I apologized once more before going to my dorm with Luna. "Sorry you didn't win", Luna sadly whispered to me.
