Quidditch
[The next morning, in the great hall. The gang is sitting, eating. At Slythein table, Cassie is glaring at Anna.]
Blair: If you keep glaring at her, you're gonna make a hole in her head.
Cassie: I hope so. [Blair shooks her head amused.]
Slytherins look at Cassiopeia amused.
[Anna is twirling her food on a fork.]
Rose: Take a bit of toast, mate, go on. You're gonna need your strength today.
Anna: I'm not hungry.
"Is this game day?" Asked James.
[Snape appears at the table.]
Snape: Good luck today, Potter. Then again, now that you've proven yourself against a troll, a little game of Quidditch should be easy work for you. Even if it is against Slytherin.
"Dick." Said James.
[Snape walks off, limping. Anna notices this.]
Anna: That explains the blood.
Rose: Blood?
Anna: Listen, last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion so he could try and get past that 3 headed dog. But, he got himself bitten, that's why he's limping.
"You don't have a proof." Said Lily.
Rose: But why would anyone go near that dog?
Anna: The day I was at Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of one of the vaults. He said it was Hogwarts' business, very secret.
Rose: So you're saying...
Anna: That's what the dog's guarding. That's what Snape wants. [Hedwig screeches as she enters the Great Hall. She is carrying a very large, long parcel. She drops it off at the table.]
Rose: Bit early for mail, isn't it?
Anna: But I... I never get mail.
Marauders promise themsleves to send her as many mails as possible.
Rose: Let's open it. [They open it to reveal a broomstick.]
Anna: It's a broomstick!
Rose: Thats not just any broomstick, Anna. [recognizing the model] It's a Nimbus 2000!
Anna: But who...? [She notices Professor McGonagall up at the head table, stroking Hedwig. She smiles and Anna nods.]
"Minnie is the best." Said Sirius and James.
[Later on, inside a Quidditch tower, the Gryffindor team is marching toward the starting gate. They reach it and stop, behind a closed double door.]
Oliver: Scared, Anna?
Anna: A little.
Oliver: That's all right. I felt the same way before my first game.
"Me, too." Said every quidditch player (Lucius, Barty, Regulus, James and Sirius).
Anna: What happened?
Oliver: Er, I don't really remember. I took a Bludger to the head two minutes in. Woke up in the hospital a week later.
"Why is everyone trying to scare her off?" Asked annoyed James.
[Anna gulps and looks straight ahead as the doors open. They mount their brooms and zoom out onto the enormous pitch. There is cheering. Lee Jordan, the Quidditch commentator is announcing from a tower.]
Lee: Hello! And welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season! Today's game, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor! [There is a close-up of Gryffindor students cheering.]
Quidditch players cheered.
Neville: Gryffindor! [The players take their positions in the air in a circle. Anna weaves in, highest amongst. She looks down.]
Lee: The players take their positions as Madam Hooch steps out onto the field to begin the game!
Hooch: Now, I want a nice, clean game from all of you! [Looks at Slytherin. She kicks the trunk, and the Bludgers zoom out.]
Lee: The Bludgers are up, followed by the Golden Snitch. Remember, the Snitch is worth 150 points. The Seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game. [The Snitch zooms around each Seeker's head, then disappears. Hooch grabs the Quaffle.]
Lee: The Quaffle is released and the game begins! [Gryffindor takes possession of the ball and a chaser, Angelia Johnson, zooms past the Slytherins towards their goal, and throws the ball, and scores! There is a ding.]
Sirius and James cheered.
Lee: Angelina Johnson scores! 10 points for Gryffindor! [He presses a button and a 10 shows up beside a plaque with Gryffindor's name. Anna, in the air, claps.]
Anna: Yes! [A Bludger suddenly zooms by him.] Whoa! [In the stands, Gryffindor cheers.]
Hagrid: Well done!
Lee: Slytherin takes possession of the Quaffle. Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint. [Flint dodges people and throws for the Gryffindor hoops. Oliver appears and whacks the ball away with his broom. He smirks at Flint, who glares. Johnson and Katie Bell pass the Quaffle back and forth as they strategize to score. Johnson takes it, throws, and once again scores!]
Rose and Seamus: Yay!
Anna: Yes!
Sirius and James cheer again.
Lee: Another 10 points to Gryffindor![He adds another 10 to the score with a ding.]
Gryffindors: Yay! [The Slytherins decide to get messy. They dodge, kick, and try to score. Once again, Oliver blocks.]
Flint: Give me that! [He grabs a beaters bat from one and whacks a Bludger right at Oliver. It hits Oliver directly in the stomach and he plummets to the ground, knocked out. This causes the entire audience to boo; Anna is visibly upset as the Slytherins laugh. The Slytherin members head off. One jumps over George (or Fred) and scores. Lee adds 10 points in the plaque with Slytherin's name. Anna is upset again. Slytherin cheers.]
Flint: [to his teammates] Take that side!
[They box Johnson in and sent her into the capes covering one of the towers. She falls down in and is out. The crowd boos. Slytherin scores once again.]
"Cheaters!" Yelled Marauders.
"That's cheating!" Yelled enraged Barty.
"Get them off the pitch! They are emberassing our house!" Yelled Evan. Regulus glares at the cheaters furiously.
Interference Overcome
[Suddenly, Anna sees the Snitch. She starts to head off after it and then suddenly her broom starts bucking and turning.]
Anna: Whoa! Whooa!
"What's happening?" Asked worried Lily.
Hagrid: What's going on with Anna's broomstick? [Rose looks through binoculars at Anna, then at Snape, who is visibly muttering.]
"That git!" Muttered James.
"He... he wouldn't." Stuttered Lily.
"Wouldn't he?" Said Sirius.
[Rose hands Nevile her binoculars and leaves the stands. Anna is knocked and thrown around, then falls, dangling by one arm from the broom.]
Evreyone is worried.
[Rose is hurrying up in the tower structures. She appears underneath Snape and touches his cloak with her wand.]
Rose: [quietly] Lacarnum Inflamarae. [A spark ignites and Snape's cloak catches fire. Rose quickly leaves.]
"Now I like her more." Said James. Sirius nodded.
Man: Fire! You're on fire!
Snape: What? Oh! [knocks the man back, who falls into Quirrell, who then also falls. Snape bats out the fire and acts as though nothing happened. The broom stops bucking, and Anna climbs back on. The Slytherin seeker is after the Snitch. Anna takes off.]
Hagrid: Go, go, go! [Anna rams the Slytherin Seeker, then is butted out. She returns, smashing the Seeker again as the Snitch dives. The boys follow, but they approach the ground quickly. The Slytherin Seeker backs out, and Anna pulls up her broom as she follows the Snitch, feet above the ground. Anna stands up, and steps forward, trying to grab the ball. She goes too far, and topples off the broom with a yelp, tumbling on the ground. She gets up and lurches. The crowd gasps. Rose appears beside a tower to see.]
Hagrid: Looks like she's gonna be sick!
[Anna lurches and the Snitch pops out of her mouth. It lands in her hands.]
"She won! She won!" Cheered James and Sirius, Remus joined. Lily smiled.
Lee: She's got the Snitch! Anna Potter receives 150 points for catching the Snitch!
Hooch: [Blows her whistle whilst riding on her broomstick] Gryffindor wins! [The crowd cheers in joy including Gryffindor]
Cassie: [dismayed] No!
Hagrid: Yes!
Rose: Whoo-hoo! [McGonagall giggles happily. Anna raises the Snitch into the air and the crowd, and his team, cheers.]
Crowd: Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor!
"Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor! Go, go, Gryffindor!" Cheered Sirius and James.
