"Dive, you daft prat!" James roared, coming up out of his seat to pump his fist into the air. The Snitch had angled for the ground at that moment, and the other Seeker had also spotted what was happening and pulled up short to join in the race to the turf.
Lily had been distracted momentarily by the conversation she had gotten into with the dark haired woman from before, but at Madeleine's shriek, she had lunged back over the seats again, this time actually slipping into their row. She recovered quickly and stood up in James's seat to see over her brother's head.
As she struggled with the omnoculars to get them to focus on the action, James whooped and set his rosette to playing. "Bet everyone a galleon he catches it and the other Seeker smashes his face in!"
And that?
That was when the Bludgers crashed the party and slammed into Ginnery's broom.
And then the Snitch was gone rocketing off so quickly that the other Seeker barely had time to stop his dive.
Noting James' nearly heartbroken demeanor, Cale tried to offer his sympathies. "Erm... I'm sure he'll get it next time, Potter. Our bloke didn't snatch it either, yeah?"
"Potter," Scorpius drawled.
Cale winced, knowing what was coming.
"What was that about a galleon? For every one of us, wasn't it? Shall we be expecting you to clean out your pockets before or after your team's humiliated?"
