Chapter 5: Show-off

Chapter 5

Th next day I had quidditch practice. I got up, got dressed, put my hair up and went to the field. I went over to the broom table and retrieved my broom before the team captain called us all over. "Today we are going to be running a practice game! We are going to do rotations of being the opposite team to all get practice until Klara catches the snitch. Klara your goal is to catch the snitch faster each time." I nodded, smirking. "Got it!" We all mounted our brooms and took off. When the snitch was realised, I looped around and followed it all around the field. As I was chasing the snitch I got up high and saw the head master and a man from the ministry walking towards the field. I rounded back to the center to the field to get an all-around look to find the snitch. The men came onto the field and I got a clip of what they were saying. "She's the top of her class and she hasn't lost a game yet." The headmaster said. "Whatever you say. I want to see her in action." I smiled getting ready to show off. Then I saw the snitch coming at me a bit lower than my broom.1...2...3... I flipped around holding onto the broom with my legs, letting my arms hang down and clasp around the snitch. I then held it in one hand as I sat up and regained my balance. I smirked as I went to the ground, landing, and holding up the snitch. I saw the man from the ministry's face filled with unbelief as I put the snitch on the table. "Caught." I smirked. "You weren't kidding..." The man said. "Let's run that again! Klara try a different tactic to catch the snitch." The team captain yelled. I mounted my broom and took off to run it again. "She could be a real problem in the future.... You need to keep her on our side.... who know what would happen if she turned bad..." The ministry worker said. "I agree... Let's just hope she dosen't side with her grandfather." The headmaster remarked. The wind was plugging my ears so I all I could see was their mouths moving... I wonder what they said?? That night, I stayed in bed, wide awake... for some reason I could not get what the ministry man and the headmaster where saying off my mind... It bothered me that I didn't know.
