Well, guess what? That's right. Hufflepuff lost the Quidditch game. That's not a big surprise. But I'm still mad anyway. Because of the detention that we all had to serve for Harry Potter, we 1) couldn't practice quidditch that Saturday and 2) Eloise got sick because of the germs.
Since Eloise got really sick, it spread throughout Hufflepuff. So, then all of the Quidditch team got sick which means, yes you guessed it - no quidditch practice! Eloise got better, kept the rest of us in pepperup potions and we managed to have a laughable practice on Friday. Just one practice. One.
We had been doing very well into the game. The score was tied 60-60. I had been feeling under the weather still, but Eloise gave me a double portion of pepperup for the game. However, I saw the snitch about 3 or 4 feet away from me, but I had this incredible urge to sneeze. So I sneezed due to my residual illness.
Yes, you guessed it. Harry Potter took advantage of my incapacity and grabbed the snitch. So the game ended up 210-60. I have never been so mad in all my life. Harry may claim that he thinks I'm mad because he caught the snitch. But if I hadn't had to sneeze because of a detention where Eloise got sick, then I would have gotten that snitch!
I know that Ernie's right. Harry may seem all nice, but he's just looking out for himself. He doesn't care that people are getting detention for his bad homework and he doesn't think twice about taking advantage of someone else's sickness in order to get the snitch.
I'm just really angry.
