   Derrick and Bole; have left; but it looks as though Montague's replaced them with the usual gorillas; rather than anyone who can fly particularly well。 They're two blokes called Crabbe and Goyle; I don't know much about them …'
   
   'We do;' said Harry and Ron together。
   'Well; they don't look bright enough to tell one end of a broom from the other;' said Angelina; pocketing her parchment; 'but then I was always surprised Derrick and Bole managed to find their way on to the pitch without signposts。'
   
   'Crabbe and Goyle are in the same mould;' Harry assured her。
   They could hear hundreds of footsteps mounting the banked benches of the spectators' stands。 Some people were singing; though Harry could not make out the words。 He was starting to feel nervous; but he knew his butterflies were as nothing pared to Ron's; who was clutching his stomach and staring straight ahead again; his jaw set and his plexion pale grey。
   'It's time;' said Angelina in a hushed voice; looking at her watch。 'C'mon everyone: good luck。'
   
   The team rose; shouldered their brooms and marched in single file out of the changing room and into the dazzling sunlight。 A roar of sound greeted them in which Harry could still hear singing; though it was muffled by the cheers and whistles。
   The Slytherin team was standing waiting for them。 They; too; were wearing those silver crown…shaped badges。 The new Captain; Montague; was built along the same lines as Dudley Dursley; with massive forearms like hairy hams。 Behind him lurked Crabbe and Goyle; almost as large; blinking stupidly in the sunlight; swinging their new Beaters' bats。 Malfoy stood to one side; the sunlight gleaming on his white…blond head。 He caught Harry's eye and smirked; tapping the crown…shaped badge on his chest。
   'Captains; shake hands;' ordered the referee Madam Hooch; as Angelina and Montague reached each other。 Harry could tell that Montague was trying to crush Angelina's fingers; though she did not wince。 'Mount your brooms:'
   
   Madam Hooch placed her whistle in her mouth and blew。
   The balls were released and the fourteen players shot upwards。 Out of the corner of his eye Harry saw Ron streak off towards the goalhoops。 Harry zoomed higher; dodging a Bludger; and set off on a wide lap of the pitch; gazing around for a glint of gold; on the other side of the stadium; Draco Malfoy was doing exactly the same。
   'And it's Johnson …Johnson with the Quaffle; what a player that girl is; I've been saying it for years but she still won't go out with me …'
   
   'JORDAN!' yelled Professor McGonagall。
   '… just a fun fact; Professor; adds a bit of interest … and she's ducked Warrington; she's passed Montague; she's … ouch … been hit from behind by a Bludger from Crabbe: Montague catches the Quaffle; Montague heading back up the pitch and … nice Bludger there from George Weasley; that's a Bludger to the head for Montague; he drops the Quaffle; caught by Katie Bell; Katie Bell of Gryffindor reverse…passes to Alicia Spinnet and Spinnet's away …'
   
   Lee Jordan's mentary rang through the stadium and Harry listened as hard as he could through the wind whistling in his ears and the din of the crowd; all yelling and booing and singing。
   '… dodges Warrington; avoids a Bludger … close call; Alicia … and the crowd are loving this; just listen to them; what's that they're singing?'
   
   And as Lee paused to listen; the song rose loud and clear from the sea of green and silver in the Slytherin section of the stands:
   
   'Weasley cannot save a thing; He cannot block a single ring; That's why Slytherins all sing: Weasley is our King。
   'Weasley was born in a bin He always lets the Quaffle in Weasley will make sure we win Weasley is our King。'
   
   '… and Alicia passes back to Angelina!' Lee shouted; and as Harry swerved; his insides boiling at what he had just heard; he knew Lee was trying to drown out the words of the song。 'e on now;
   
   Angelina … looks like she's got just the Keeper to beat! … SHE SHOOTS … SHE … aaaah:'
   
   Bletchley; the Slytherin Keeper; had saved the goal; he threw the Quaffle to Warrington who sped off with it; zig…zagging in between Alicia and Katie; the singing from below grew louder and louder as he drew nearer and nearer Ron。
   'Weasley is our King; Weasley is our King; He always lets the Quaffle in Weasley is our King。'
   
   Harry could not help himself: abandoning his search for the Snitch; he wheeled around to watch Ron; a lone figure at the far end of the pitch; hovering before the three goalhoops while the massive Warrington pelted towards him。
   '… and it's Warrington with the Quaffle; Warrington heading for goal; he's out of Bludger range with just the Keeper ahead …'
   
   A great swell of song rose from the Slytherin stands below:
   
   'Weasley cannot save a thing; He cannot block a single ring:〃
   
   '… so it's the first test for new Gryffindor Keeper Weasley; brother of Beaters Fred and George; and a promising new talent on the team … e on; Ron!'
   
   But the scream of delight came from the Slytherins' end: Ron had dived wildly; his arms wide; and the Quaffle had soared between them straight through Ron's central hoop。
   'Slytherin score!' came Lee's voice amid the cheering and booing from the crowds below; 'so that's ten…nil to Slytherin … bad luck; Ron。'
   
   The Slytherins sang even louder:
   
   'WEASLEY WAS BORN IN A BIN
   
   HE ALWAYS LETS THE QUAFFLE IN:'
   
   '… and Gryffindor back in possession and it's Katie Bell tanking up the pitch …' cried Lee valiantly; though the singing was now so deafening that he could hardly make himself heard above it。
   
   'WEASLEY WILL MAKE SURE WE WIN WEASLEY IS OUR KING:'
   
   'Harry; WHAT ARE YOU DOING?' screamed Angelina; soaring past him to keep up with Katie。 'GET GOING!'
   
   Harry realised he had been stationary in midair for over a minute; watching the progress of the match without sparing a thought for the whereabouts of the Snitch; horrified; he went into a dive and started circling the pitch again; staring around; trying to ignore the chorus now thundering through the stadium:
   
   'WEASLEY IS OUR KINC; WEASLEY IS OUR KING:'
   
   There was no sign of the Snitch anywhere he looked; Malfoy was still circling the stadium just as he was。 They passed one another midway around the pitch; going in opposite directions; and Harry heard Malfoy singing loudly:
   
   'WEASLEY WAS BORN IN A BIN:'
   
   '… and it's Warrington again;' bellowed Lee; 'who passes to Pucey; Pucey's off past Spinnet; e on now; Angelina; you can take him … turns out you can't … but nice Bludger from Fred Weasley; I mean; George Weasley; oh; who cares; one of them; anyway; and Warrington drops the Quaffle and Katie Bell … er … drops it; too … so that's Montague with the Quaffle; Slytherin Captain Montague takes the Quaffle and he's off up the pitch; e on now; Gryffindor; block him!'
   
   Harry zoomed around the end of the stadium behind the Slytherin goalhoops; willing himself not to look at what was going on at Ron's end。 As he sped past the Slytherin Keeper; he heard Bletchley singing along with the crowd below:
   
   'WEASLEY CANNOT SAVE A THING:〃
   
   '… and Pucey's dodged Alicia again and he's heading straight for goal; stop it; Ron!'
   
   Harry did not have to look to see what had happened: there was a terrible groan from the Gryffindor end; coupled with fresh screams and applause from the Slytherins。 Looking down; Harry saw the pug…faced Pansy Parkinson right at the front of the stands; her back to the pitch as she conducted the Slytherin supporters who were roaring:
   
   THAT'S WHY SLYTHERINS ALL SING WEASLEY IS OUR KING。'
   
   But twenty…nil was nothing; there was still time for Gryffindor to catch up or catch the Snitch。 A few goals and they would be in the lead as usual; Harry assured himself; bobbing and weaving through the other players in pursuit of something shiny that turned out to be Montague's watchstrap。
   But Ron let in two more goals。 There was an edge of panic in Harry's desire to find the Snitch now。 If he could just get it soon and finish the game quickly。
   '… and Katie Bell of Gryffindor dodges Pucey; ducks Montague; nice swerve; Katie; and she throws to Johnson; Angelina Johnson takes the Quaffle; she's past Warrington; she's heading for goal; e on now; Angelina … GRYFFINDOR SCORE! It's forty…ten; forty…ten to Slytherin and Pucey has the Quaffle
   
   Harry could hear Luna's ludicrous lion hat roaring amidst the Gryffindor cheers and felt heartened; only thirty points in it; that was nothing; they could pull back easily。 Harry ducked a Bludger that Crabbe had sent rocketing in his direction and resumed his frantic scouring of the pitch for the Snitch; keeping one eye on Malfoy in case he showed signs of having spotted it; but Malfoy; like him; was continuing to soar around the stadium; searching fruitlessly:
   
   '… Pucey throws to Warrington; Warrington to Montague; Montague back to Pucey …Johnson intervenes; Johnson takes the
   
   Quaffle; Johnson to Bell; this looks good … I mean bad … Bells hit by a Bludger from Goyle of Slytherin and it's Pucey in possession
   
   'WEASLEY WAS BORN IN A BIN
   HE ALWAYS LETS THE QUAFFLE IN …》。
   WEASLEY WILL MAKE SURE WE WIN
   
   But Harry had seen it at last: the tiny fluttering Golden Snitch was hovering feet from the ground at the Slytherin end of the pitch。
   He dived:
   
   In a matter of seconds; Malfoy was streaking out of the sky on Harry's left; a green and silver blur lying flat on his broom:
   
   The Snitch skirted the foot of one of the goalhoops and scooted off towards the other side of the stands; its change of direction suited Malfoy; who was nearer; Harry pulled his Firebolt around; he and Malfoy were now neck and neck:
   
   Feet from the ground; Harry lifted his right hand from his broom; stretching towards the Snitch: to his right; Malfoy's arm extended too; was reaching; groping:
   
   It was over in two breathless; desperate; windswept seconds …Harry's fingers closed around the tiny; struggling ball … Malfoy's fingernails scrabbled the back of Harry's hand hopelessly … Harry pulled hi
