"Oh no wake up Alex!"....."Is he okay?"...."I dont know"
"How did this happen?"asked the nurse......"He got injured during his match against Hufflepuff"I replied
*Alex Opened his eyes*
"Aaa...The Game Who won the game!"He yelled as the nurse observed his left leg. "Forget about the game are you okay?"said rose. "You two out!, I need to examine him, your stressing the patient"she said and forced us to leave.
We waited for at least 3 hours until the nurse allowed us to enter. Alex's condition was not good, he was very weak a bludger knocked him from his broom during their match against hufflepuff, they had the game, the score was 170 to 0 points and they were winning but after Alex got injured they scored 40 points and at the end their Seeker had caught the snitch. "Alex! are you okay?"asked rose. "Never better!" said Alex in a weak tone, Alex stayed in the Hospital wing for the night.
Because of our easy Win against Ravenclaw (Because of my Firebolt i caught the snitch in 5 minutes),
It was announced at dinner that the final will be between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor.
*******************************************************************************
The Next day was our team meeting and All of us were planning for the big game"Team! Im proud that we came this far defeating Ravenclaw and Slytherin...It wont be a surprise for me if we lose tomorrow against Hufflepuff...I have been in this team for 3 years and have been the captain for a year.I know Hufflepuff are Unbeatable but-"Said Axcel as I interrupted him. "Unbeatable? Aren't slytherin the Unbeatable ones?"I asked in curiosity.
"Im afraid not"he said. "Its their seeker" he further said. "their seeker?" I asked "Yes, Al! Our team depends on you, If you catch the snitch, we win!"he said as a certain expression filled inside me.
***********************************************************************************
I was in the Library, feeling confused as Many questions came into my head *Hufflepuff barely won from Ravenclaw and Slytherin so how come they are the invincible?*
"Boo!"said Sev as he almost knocked me out of my chair. "Whats your problem Sev?" I said as I adjusted my self.
"I should be asking the same question from you!" He said. "Well its about the finals, I cant understand why is everyone so scared of Hufflepuff's seeker!"I replied. "Oh! That seems to be the problem!"said Sev "
"Since you dont know Al, Hufflepuff have won the last two house cups beating Slytherin from a narrowed margin on the basis of the Quiddich cup, Yes! they have won the last 2 Quiddich cup's! and they havnt lost a single game since 2 years till this date"he continued.
"What? thats impossible!"I said as I was in shock! "But they Barely won their games against Ravenclaw and Slytherin"I finished. "Exactly! ever since they got their new seeker 2 years ago, they have been unbeatable"He replied
"A new seeker?"I asked. "Yes...his name is...Cedirc Digory junior"He replied as a sudden silence fell in the room and I was speechless at that moment. "They say he is as fast and quick as the Cedric Digory we all are aware of, Their rest of the team is very poor, their defense is the weakest, but it always has been Cedric's game" he further said.
I looked down as I felt a sudden chill down my spine....."Hey!"said sev as he threw a book at me from one of the shelf's, "Check page 273!"he yelled as he left. I turned the book and read its Title "Quiddich fever", I recognized the book since dad had it at home...I flipped to page 273, I searched through the paragraphs and found something.
"The Tri-Phoenix move, is a move based on the Quaffle, its a goal scoring move that not only involves a chaser but, The keeper and the seeker, All three of the player move towards the Quaffle at same velocity and intersect it at the same time, by doing this they produce a momentum that surrounds the ball, that moves into the loop with great speed. Doing this move not only requires the concentration and coordination of the three players but also a wizards heart and mind should be connected with his spirit. If done Correctly a huge ball of fire covers the grounds and a phoenix comes to appears which move towards the loops with great accuracy."
I ran to the Gryffindor common room and showed Axcel the move. Me, Axcel and the keeper (Robin Vaga) went to the grounds, "Ok Its a Pretty simple technique, all we need to do is intersect the Quaffle when I throw it forward at the same time, Lets go" said Axcel. He threw the Quaffle forward and then all three of us raced towards the Quaffle, the moment we intersected it the Quaffle started to swirl in the Air and the Air around it started to move faster, it formed a tornado. "All right we did it"said Robin, but the tornado faded and the ball zoomed to the loops and missed the target "We almost had it!"said Axcel. We skipped all our days classes and even lunch and trained the move again and again but failed each time. But every time we failed, we went one step forward.
I wanted to continue but now it got dark. We went for dinner, where I met Alex who was looking great as ever.
"The nurse really did the trick!"said Alex. "Best of luck for tomorrow!, You better win!"he said.
"You will win"said rose as she gave me a confident look...
