A/n: Everyone!!! Thank you for following my fanfiction! I hope that you like it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
November had come so quickly and soon, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were in a very delightful mood. Everyone was all excited for the matches as the beginning of the competition had already commenced, too.
Quidditch had always been the wizarding sport wherein a lot of students gather around and for most of the time, it was what makes most students happy, and winning the competition gave the four houses of Hogwarts pride.
The first competition in the first week of November was between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Gryffindor was known to be a very strong house since many of them were in the professional field and so, many of the other houses fear the team. Meanwhile, Ravenclaw Team was well known to be wise and strategic rather.
The Quidditch Towers of the two teams were packed with supporters while the towers of Slytherin and Hufflepuff had a handful of supporters who were there only to assess who could be their next opponent.
Fred and George, the twin brothers in the Quidditch Gryffindor Team and the beaters had remembered that Harry will watch them but when they gazed at the Slytherin Tower, they were surprised that the people in the Slytherin Team who were watching them were only Alwyna and Draco.
Harry wasn't in the tower. As far as they remember, he promised that he would watch the match.
"Where was he, anyway?" Fred wondered while he was staring at the Slytherin Tower. "I thought that Harry will be watching our match, right? Where is he?"
George hit a bludger which caused a fellow Ravenclaw Beater to spiral down and hit the sandy floor. "Let's focus on the game, Fred! He will be here as soon as possible! We can't focus at the audience or else we'll be vulnerable to our opponent's attack!!! Don't worry about him! Professor Snape's his guardian!"
"90-120!!! Angelina Jones scored again!" Lee Jordan screamed. "The game's still in favor of Gryffindor!!!"
The whole pitch screamed in excitement after that announcement, especially the towers of Gryffindor.
Fred and George clapped together after they heard their captain had scored again. "Isn't she a wonderful captain, eh, George?"
...
At the time the score between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw reached 300 points over 400 points in favor of Ravenclaw. With both keepers down already, Draco, and Alwyna began to already wonder where Harry could be. He promised that he would be watching the Quidditch Match between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor with them but even after two hours, he had not arrived yet.
"Do you know where he is?" Alwyna asked Draco. "Didn't he say that he'd be watching?"
Draco sighed uncomfortably. "Honestly, I don't know, Captain Alwyna. He was excited to watch the match today."
"Don't you think we have to leave to look for him? He should be here as soon as possible before the match ends," Alwyna said to him but before she stepped out of the Slytherin Quidditch Tower, Harry arrived already. "Oh good! You're here. I was about to look all over you in the castle."
It relieved Alwyna's worries but she was also shocked when she saw that his right wrist was bleeding as if he had been iron chained overnight but it was already bandaged up.
"How's the competition going already?" Harry asked them. "I came late for the match, weren't I?"
Draco was also confused when he saw his right wrist bleeding even if it was bandaged. "What happened to you is the question. Where were you?"
"I'm fine!" Harry was just reluctant at the time to answer his question. "I can't tell you what happened to me last night."
Alwyna and Draco understood since Harry looked weak and frail. "Sit down, Harry. We'll bring you to Professor Snape and maybe he would know how to help you."
"Thank you, Captain Alwyna but I had just met my guardian today," Harry replied to her. "Somehow, I placed myself in danger last night."
The three of them were silent after that until they have heard Lee Jordan announce on his speaker again, "Angelina Jones scores again for the third time!!! It's now 330 points over 400 points but Ravenclaw is still in favor!!! Whose team would catch the snitch?"
As a Slytherin, Harry began to see the Gryffindor House as a formidable opponent due to their strength and power but to him, it will only be in Quidditch. His biological parents were in Gryffindor House and he had ended up to be in Slytherin since he didn't fight the hat in choosing his own house. He could talk to snakes and most of all, he discovered that he does have parseltongue. It were those abilities that made him accept that he belonged in the Slytherin House.
"Shouldn't you tell us why were you late, Harry?" Alwyna asked while she was watching how the Gryffindor's seeker move in the sky using her binoculars. It had actually surprised her that the Gryffindor's seeker that day was also a first year Hogwarts student. "The house that will win today is going to be our opponent next week."
"Professor Snape found me locked up in the forbidden room at the third floor," Harry began. "I was kidnapped by someone last night and locked me in the dungeons before I reach the dorm."
"There's someone who kidnapped you?" Alwyna was shocked. "Who would do such a thing???"
"Can we focus on the game first? I can't tell you about it now," Harry told her. "It looks like the snitch is in front of you, Captain."
Alwyna looked in front of her and before all else, she began to duck and kneel down before two seekers of the Gryffindor Team and Ravenclaw Team come rushing to catch it.
Gregson Mayfield, a Muggle-born Quidditch Player of Ravenclaw almost reached the snitch by an inch but then Edith Snowflower crashed on the Slytherin Tower so fast using her Cleansweep Two causing them to crash together at the tower while Draco, Harry, and Alwyna were able to prevent themselves from getting buried but after a while, Edith realized that it was she who caught the snitch even after her broom went in half on the Slytherin Tower which made a lot of Gryffindor fans happy while Gregson woke up in a start feeling so disappointed that he wasn't able to catch the snitch even if he was seconds earlier to see where the snitch was. He so wanted to catch the snitch for the team but he lost against a woman making him so angry with himself.
"480- 400!!! The game has ended!" Lee Jordan screamed. "The snitch is caught! Gryffindor wins!!!"
Harry, Alwyna, and Draco began to laugh together in the joy that the match ended with something they had never expected but as Quidditch Players, they didn't care much how Gryffindor won that time.
Even so, at the same time that day, they discovered that Slytherin would be fighting against Ravenclaw since they lost against Gryffindor. At the same time, Gryffindor's next match would be Hufflepuff. Whoever wins that day will be fighting for the Championship Match.
