This was the moment that Ella had been waiting for all year. Well, one of the moments, anyway. She'd been looking forward to the day when she'd be up against her cousin and she could prove that even being Draco Malfoy couldn't surpass pure talent. She liked her cousin, of course, but she liked winning, too. That was the most important thing in the current game.
So far, it was going well. Aranae was leading the scoreboard by 120 and her team was absolutely on top of their game. They were doing even better than they'd been during practices, and that was saying something. Vera, especially, was performing brilliantly. She'd managed to use the bludger to ensure quaffle steals by herself and the other chasers numerous times. The extra practices had proven useful and Ella was more than pleased.
The only way things could go bad now would be if Draco caught the snitch before T did. Ella wasn't truly worried because T was amazing at seeking. She'd known it when she'd placed him on her team and she doubted he would prove differently today. He wanted this as much as she did. She was sure he'd make sure they had a win.
Capturing the quaffle, Ella dove quickly and expertly away from a bludger that came gliding toward her and then made a sharp turn upward toward the goals to score another goal for her team.
