DANIELLE'S POV'

This is it. Well, almost it. My hands were getting clammy, beads of sweat forming on my forehead.

"And here is! Bulgaria!"

I clambered onto my firebolt and kicked off right next to Levski. Viktor lead the team onto the field and we made little twirls and spins as we got into formation. Our mascots, the veelas, were here because it was the semi-final and we were undefeated, obviously.

We stopped on the sidelines as the announcer called the other team which I honestly don't even know.

People had been drilling int my head that no matter what on the field I need to focus on the match and only on the match, play like no one's watching but the world knows Your every move.

They called up the starters and I immediately went to my position. They threw the quaffle up and I dove towards it, catching it and passing to Levski. He flew towards the goal posts and I was hot on his tail, Dimtrov right ahead.

He shot and scored, 10-0.

The game continued and we were up by 240 points when Viktor caught the snitch.

"AND KRUM HAS CAUGHT THE SNITCH, BULGARIA WINS! 120-510!"

*****

"Cheers!" I held up my glass of butter beer and my friends also did.

Right now we're celebrating our win and by we I mean, Mace, me, Kai, Dominic, Damon, Chaze, Hayd, Rique, Jules and Nate.

"This is going to be one amazing season!" Dom shouted.

We all toasted and started partying, it put a smile on my face knowing that I was forgetting this amazing moment with some of the most important people in my life.

*****

The feeling of being able to fly is the best thing, the wind blowing through my hair and the freedom I feel. It feels like no one can control me, that nothing else is important.

It feels like I'm free from the expectations, from the chains holding me down. It feels like coming home to cookies fresh out of the oven, like getting a hug from the person you love, like being able to be you without anyone judging you.

"Dani! We need ya here!" But nothing lasts forever.

I flew down to where Nate was calling my name, "What up my whore?" I greeted him.

"Team needs ya inside, they wanna give ya something my bitch." He told me.

I nodded and headed inside the tent where the team were staying. Everyone was there, including my friends and some of the team's family members.

"There she is!" Levski shouted, a glass of fire whiskey in his hand.

"What up Levski?" I laughed.

We gathered round and coach stepped up, "Up until now we've had an amazing season and I owe it to all of you. But truth is, there's one person I want to thank, Danielle! Without you I think we would have lost quite a few games, you made this team come here too. You're the youngest chaser on a national team and you're better than all of us old men and women!"

We laughed and he continued, "so that's why we each want to give you a gift, and a team gift as well!"

Volkov came up first and handed me a neatly wrapped blue rectangular box. I hugged him, "thank you."
