Chapter 225: Snitch and Bludger (1/2)

After dinner, Chris, Colin and Ron took shower and sat with the rest in the Gryffindor common room. Hermione and Ginny gave them loads of sweets, they brought from Hogsmeade. Harry and Ron were trying to do some homework.

”So how was your trip with Padma?” Chris asked Harry.

”It was. . . nice,” Harry replied.

”And what about the girl gang?” Chris turned to Ginny, Hermione and Luna.

”It was really cool,” Hermione grinned.

”I really enjoyed it too,” Ginny smiled. ”How is Quidditch practice going?”

”It was a nightmare,” said Ron in a surly voice.

”Oh come on,” said Hermione, looking at Chris, ”I'm sure it wasn't that —”

”It was kind of,” Colin admitted.

”I couldn't see the Snitch in the rain,” said Chris. ”Angelina is really upset.”

”Ron, you got to surprise people, you know,” George said coming towards them. ”Angelina thinks you can do it.”

”Yeah, you haven't seen her looking at me, after the practice today.” Ron snorted.

”Well, you can't expect the crowd to turn their backs and talk among themselves every time the Quaffle goes up, do you?” Fred said.

Ron went red and Chris elbowed Fred. Fred sighed.

”You know, Quidditch was about the only thing in this place worth staying for.”

Hermione cast him a stern look.

”You've got exams coming!”

”Told you already, we're not fussed about N.E.W.T.s,” said Fred. ”The Snackboxes are ready to roll, we found out how to get rid of those boils, just a couple of drops of murtlap essence sorts them, Lee put us onto it . . .”

”The point is. . .” George hesitated. ”We really want Gryffindor to win, Ronny. You know you are not that bad if you try.”

”Just don't expect everyone to turn away,” Fred said. ”You know, Quidditch is kind of in our blood.”

”That explains why Percy never played,” Ginny said.

Everyone stared at her for a second then they cackled with laugh, even Ron.

”But seriously,” Hermione said after they stopped laughing. ”You should at least complete your N. E. W. T. s, at least for your mother, you know.”

Fred opened his mouth to argue but Hermione gave him a Hermione-ish glare and Fred shrugged then smiled.
