Cormac's First Match
"Took him seven bloody years to make the goddamn team---" Finn muttered, removing his sunglasses to look through his omnioculars. Cormac was only playing because the other keeper had gotten sick, and Finn really wanted to knock the hell out of this kid. He was really a naturally good flyer, but had always had some sort of mishap when try-outs came around. Finn did not know what experience Cormac was going to use when he tried out for some pro teams this summer, but---well, this game seemed like it was going to be his one shot to impress everyone.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!" Joy shrieked, jumping up and down and waving her Gryffindor flag wildly, "He's playing he's playing he's playing!" Finn let out a breath, smirking. It wasn't the first time they'd been to a match at Hogwarts,Rowan had made the Ravenclaw team with no problem, but he supposed it was a big deal to see their oldest son in uniform, looking very professional---save for all the talking he seemed to be doing.

"If he doesn't shut up he's going to get whacked," Finn said, but he couldn't help himself but shout when Cormac did in fact block a shot with a rather fancy maneuver, "YEAH!"

"CORMAC YOU'RE AMAZING AND PERFECT AND MUMMY LOVES YOUUU!!!"

Finn grinned, glad that they weren't playing Ravenclaw because then Rowan would've been mighty peeved at the abundance of Gryffindor pride coursing through his parents. Finn felt better about shouting and letting out his excitement. The match was going amazingly, save for the lofty commentating by a loopy sounding girl, and Finn was about to turn to Joy and express his pride in his boy when he spotted Cormac accosting one of the beaters and---

"Is he?"

"Oh no---"

CRACK!

The stadium gasped collectively as Cormac McLaggen slammed a beater's bat, one that he had stolen from a teammate, straight into Harry-fucking-Potter's skull. Finn's mouth was agape, and Joy was frozen mid-cheer as the school nurse rushed to help the boy and time-out was called.

"This fucking kid," Finn let out. Joy dropped back down from her tip-toes and nodded,

"That fucking kid."
