The Quidditch match came around rather fast. Since it was both Cedric and Juliette playing, Raelynn, Paige and Skylar chose to sit together and wear the colours of both teams.The wind was so strong that they staggered sideways as they walked out onto the field. You couldn't hear the crowds cheers over the thunder, rain and wind combined. The Hufflepuffs were approaching one side of the field and Gryffindor the other, all looking equally as uncertain about the weather. The Captains walked up to each other and shook hands; Cedric Diggory smiled at Wood, but he looked as though he had lockjaw and merely nodded.
"Mount Your brooms!" Madam Hooch yelled, though nobody heard her say this.
Madam Hooch put her whistle to her lips once everyone was ready, and gave it a blast that didn't sound nearly as loud as usual.
Paige had never been a huge fan of Quidditch but she never missed a match because she supported her friends that played. Skylar was a huge fan but Andromeda refused to let her play in fear her anger issues would prove more harm than good. Instead, Skylar just shouted about those playing. Raelynn just liked to be with her friendship group.
Juliette was an incredibly skilled flyer, thanks to being quite good friends with Angelina, Alicia, and Katie. Angelina and Alicia were a year above her so they had been playing a year more than her. However, when Juliette started playing, Angelina decided that she no longer wanted to play and preferred commentating with Lee so Juliette took her spot with Angelina training her.
When Gryffindor played against Slytherin, Skylar never cheered for Juliette out of pride. Instead, she would cheer for Slytherin's Cassius Warrington. However, when it was any other house, Skylar kind of wanted Gryffindor to win (even if they always got everything.)
Profound swear words were often involved.
The rain was beginning to annoy the players and spectators, the players more angry those who have stared them down. Feeling bad for Harry, Raelynn stumbled down to the pitch to prepare for when they called a time-out.
"I called for timeout!" Wood roared. "Come on, under here." he added, grabbing a large umbrella, which the team huddled under.
"What's the score?" Harry asked, taking his glasses off and attempting to wipe them dry.
"We're fifty points up." Wood said, somehow sounding both pleased and concerned. "But unless we get the Snitch soon, we'll be playing into the night."
"I've got no chance with these on." Harry said exasperatedly, waving his glasses.
At that very moment, Raelynn appeared next to Juliette, bundled up in a warm coat.
"Give me your glasses, quick!" she said hastily, beaming. Harry handed his glasses to her, and she tapped them with her wand. "Impervius!"
"They'll repel water!" Raelynn explained, and Wood looked so grateful that he could have hugged her.
"Brilliant!" he called after her, as she returned to the crowd. "Okay, team, let"s go for it!"
Raelynn's spell had done the trick, and now Harry could see enough to play properly. He began searching frantically for the Snitch, passing by his older sister with the Quaffle and nearly colliding with a Hufflepuff Chaser, who was pelting after her. There was another stroke of lighting and Juliette was nearly startled off her broom.
At first, the group was confused when they looked up. They could see Juliette in a large nose dive towards a falling figure. It was only upon focusing that Skylar realised it was Harry falling, shouting at the fact to her friends.
Juliette had grabbed Harry's arm, moments from the ground. While the rest of the group couldn't, Juliette heard the snap in her shoulder as she grabbed him. Losing her balance, Juliette went rolling off her broom and along the group. Luckily, she wasn't high up and Harry wasn't going to be falling from the high he could have been.
"Jules!" Skylar screamed.
"Oh no!" Raelynn gasped,"We should go down to the pitch —"
"We need to get to the hospital wing!" Paige corrected,"Let's go!"

Juliette was awake when the team and her friends got there. The team and friends split into two groups; Hermione, Ron, Oliver, Angelina and Alicia went to check on Harry; Katie, Paige, Raelynn, Fred, Lee, George, Skylar and Cedric went to check on Juliette.
Cedric was slightly awkward since the Gryffindor team was annoyed at the fact he had caught the snitch, although they knew that he didn't know about Harry when he did.
Juliette had dislocated her shoulder and broken hand, both from catching Harry and when she hit the ground. She hadn't been knocked unconscious, spending the entire time worrying about Harry instead.
"You should have seen how angry Dumbledore was!" Skylar rambled,"It was mental. Once someone had checked on you, he whirled his wand at the Dementors. Shot silver stuff at them. They left the stadium right away - he was furious they"d come onto the grounds."
"Everyone thought you and Harry were - well..." Raelynn trailed off.
"Did some get our broomsticks?" Juliette questioned.
"Harry's is toast," Lee frowned,"Your's is okay, a bit cracked though."
"Oh,"Juliette frowned. "Well, I guess that's that then."
