The Beginning of a Symphony - Chapter 20

Summary: Gryffindor take on Hufflepuff in the final Quidditch match of the year.

OCs featured/mentioned: Lysander Mercury @slytherindisaster, Selene Fraser @lifeofkaze, Cledwyn Ironwood @that-scouse-wizard, Oliver Gerard @kc-and-co, Unni Arcano @kathrynalicemc, Roel Leeuwenhoek @hufflefluffs, Tagdh Lynch and Maxwell Pembroke @unfortunate-arrow, Zella Cleary @thatravenpuffwitch, Professor Hestia Heron @cursebreakerfarrier

Warnings: rivalry, teasing, poor sportsmanship, mild violence.

June 1896

The summer term was almost over, and it was time for the most important part of the academic year, the very thing that Ethel had been working towards since September: the Quidditch Cup Final.

The competition for the Cup this year had thus far been a closely run thing, with the last match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor being the deciding one of the season. Whichever team won the match would win the Cup, and Ethel was determined that it would be hers. She wasn’t the only one.

“Okay, ladies and gentlemen,” said Oliver Gerard, the captain. “This is it, the moment we’ve been training for all year. I know that all of you are champions, now we just have to prove it to the Hufflepuffs.”

“And we will,” Selene said definitely, and Ethel nodded her head in agreement.

“Absolutely. How could we not?” she asked, continuing before anyone had the chance to answer her: “After all, Hufflepuff haven’t taken the Cup in years, according to my cousin Ivy, and this year they have gotten by on sheer luck alone. We could play blindfolded and still win, I’m certain of it.”

“Perhaps, but I don’t think that will be necessary. Simply play your best, work as a team, and keep a level head.”

Ethel wasn’t quite sure why Oliver had looked at her while he made his last point. If anything, she would have said that he was the emotional one out of the two of them, and indeed she would have told him as much if it weren’t for the sound of the commentator announcing that the game was about to start.

“And we have the Gryffindors! Gerard, Ironwood, Hexley, Leeuwenhoek, Lynch, Arcano, and Fraser!”

The Gryffindor team filed out onto the pitch, with Oliver leading them and Selene bringing up the rear. Ethel leaned forward to whisper into Cledwyn Ironwood’s ear as she followed behind him.

“Good luck, Cledwyn,” she told him. “Not that you need it, of course. Between you and I, we will be sure to show these badgers who-”

“Please be quiet.”

The Hufflepuff team was already on the pitch. Ethel’s younger cousin, little Zella, was clutching her Beater’s bat in both hands, her knuckles white with what might have been either nervous or excited anticipation. This was to be Zella’s first house match, and Ethel almost felt sorry for the fact that she was going to lose. Almost, but not quite.

Aside from Zella, she recognised Jim’s friends, Maxwell Pembroke and - Ethel narrowed her eyes at him - Lysander Mercury. In response to her glaring, Lysander grinned and winked at her, and she scowled in distaste, even more determined to win than she had been before.

With all fourteen players in position, the team captains shook hands and all of them mounted their broomsticks, and ascended into the sky. The Quaffle was released and the game began.

Ethel soared into action, seizing the red ball and passing it across to Oliver, who carried it up the pitch. He swerved out of the way of a Bludger, and passed to Cledwyn, who advanced even closer to the three hooped goalposts, barging past the Hufflepuff Chaser who was attempting to tackle him. He passed back to Oliver, who passed to Ethel as Zella sent a second Bludger his way, and Ethel carried the ball into the scoring zone.

“Oi, Hexley,” Lysander called to her. “Watch this!”

As the Quaffle left Ethel’s hand, Lysander screwed up his face. He stretched his arm out, and it began to grow impossibly long, so that he was able to reach across the the length of two hoops instead of one. Luckily, Ethel had thrown the ball so hard that even though he was able to reach it, he couldn’t stop it. Instead, the Quaffle hit his fingers on its way through the hoop, causing them to bend backwards slightly with the impact. Lysander’s arm recoiled and shrunk back to its normal length, and he clutched his sore hand tightly, swearing to himself under his breath.

“Why, thank you, Lysander,” Ethel said, as a roar came from the Gryffindor spectator stands. “I’d have hated to have missed that. You know, it’s remarkable that even with your Metamorphmagus skills, you manage to maintain such a level of mediocrity. A shame, really. I’d have liked a little challenge for the final match of the year.”

“I was just going easy on you that time.”

“Of course you were.”

Ethel rolled her eyes and flew away, following after the Hufflepuff Chaser who was currently in possession of the Quaffle. Before she could reach the rival player, however, Unni Arcano raised her Beater’s bat and swung it at a nearby Bludger. The Chaser ducked to avoid it hitting her, but in doing so dropped the Quaffle, which was caught by Oliver, who passed it to Cledwyn, who passed it back to Oliver, who threw it to Ethel. Ethel caught the Quaffle, and rolled away from another Bludger before passing it to Cledwyn, who aimed at the Hufflepuff goalposts.

“Gryffindor score!”

Ethel joined in the applause before zooming over to Cledwyn and patting him on the back.

“Well done, Cled! Jolly good job!” she told him.

“Don’t touch me,” said Cledwyn.

The Quaffle was released once more. This time, the Hufflepuff Chasers managed to successfully carry the Quaffle all the way to the Gryffindors’ goalposts. Roel Leeuwenhoek the Gryffindor Keeper managed to knock the ball away from the goal, but it was quickly picked up by another Chaser, who took aim just as Zella beat a Bludger at him. Roel dodged the Bludger, but the Quaffle soared through the now-unguarded hoops.

“The score is now twenty to Gryffindor, ten to Hufflepuff!”

Ethel gritted her teeth. She had no doubt that Selene would eventually catch the Golden Snitch, but even so, the more goals that Gryffindor scored before then, the better. When the Quaffle was released, she set off after it even more doggedly than before, knocking it clean out of the hands of one of the rival Chasers and letting fall into the outstretched arms of Oliver Gerard. She flew into an open space for him to pass the ball to her, and the second he had, she accelerated hard, soaring towards the Hufflepuff goalposts where Lysander Mercury was waiting for her, with a stupid grin on his stupid face.

She took aim at the furthest hoop from him and threw the Quaffle with as much force as she could muster. Lysander didn’t move, but instead, screwed up his face again. This time, rather than his arm stretching, his ears began to grow impossibly large, like an elephant’s. They were so large, in fact, that the hoops of the goalposts were covered by them entirely. The Quaffle hit one of Lysander’s ears and bounced off it, straight into the hands of one of the Hufflepuff Chasers, who carried it back up the pitch.

“Hufflepuff score!”

Incensed, Ethel shook her head.

“No!” she shouted, flying down to the pitch below, where Professor Heron, the Quidditch umpire, was standing. “No, that doesn’t count! Lysander cheated!”

“I did not,” said Lysander, who had followed Ethel down towards the ground, as had many of the other players. His ears were now back to their normal size.

“You absolutely did cheat. He did,” Ethel informed anyone who could hear her. “He used his Metamorphmagus skills to stop me from scoring.”

“You didn’t seem to care when I used them earlier and you still scored.”

“That was different!”

“Why? Because this time things didn’t go your way?”

“He made his ears grow so big that they covered all the hoops! No one can score past that, and that means that Hufflepuff have a massively unfair advantage that no other player on the pitch has,” Ethel said, and Lysander laughed.

“That’s not true, Eff,” he said. Ethel clenched her fists. “You’ve got really big ears, too.”

Ethel had heard enough. She lunged at Lysander, her mouth engaged in an angry tirade against him, one arm swinging towards his face. She almost hit him - and by Godric, she wanted to hit him - but found herself being held back by Cledwyn’s arms around her waist.

“Let her go!” Selene was shouting. When Cledwyn did not let Ethel go, she hit him on the back of his head with the tail of her broomstick. “I said, let her go, Cled!”

“Calm down, girls,” said Oliver, and Selene hit him with her broomstick, too.

Unni Arcano sighed loudly and restrained Selene in the same way as Cledwyn was restraining Ethel. Behind her, Lynch and Leeuwenhoek were smirking, and little Zella was giggling with both hands placed over her mouth. Oliver, still rubbing the spot on his torso where Selene’s broomstick had made contact, was attempting to placate the now-angry looking Professor Heron.

“I’m afraid that I cannot tolerate this sort of behaviour,” the umpire told them, and Ethel immediately stopped trying to hit Lysander.

“See?” she hissed at him. “Cheater.”

“I was talking about your behaviour, Miss Hexley,” Professor Heron said, and Ethel’s mouth fell open. “Yours too, Miss Fraser.”

“What?”

“But that’s not fair!”

“We didn’t do anything wrong!”

“He’s the one who cheated!”

“Actually, there is nothing in the rules to say that a player who is a born Metamorphmagus cannot self-transfigure during a game. There is, however, a rule against players inciting violence during a time out.”

“We weren’t inciting violence,” muttered Selene. “We were just being violent for our own sakes.”

“Be that as it may,” said Professor Heron, “I cannot allow the pair of you to continue playing today. I’m sorry, Mr Gerard, but you will have to play on without Misses Fraser and Hexley.”

Both Ethel and Selene protested at length, but Professor Heron would not be swayed. When the game recommenced, the two of them were forced to watch from the sidelines, scowling and swearing under their breaths as the Hufflepuff Quidditch team began to score more and more goals with Ethel unable to help the Gryffindor Chasers, and Maxwell Pembroke caught the Snitch without any interference from Selene.

The game was over, and Hufflepuff had been victorious. Ethel glared at Lysander as he helped little Zella to lift the Quidditch Cup into the air, looked her in the eyes, and mouthed to her:

“Better luck next year.”

RELATIONSHIPS

Older Brother: Enzo Altera

Three years Older

Gryffindor

Works as a bartender

Cares immensely for Ninfa and constantly worries about her when she is away doing missions especially after she loses her left eye.

He is very protective of Ninfa and always kept an eye on her when they were younger which was not necessary most of the time which at times strains their relationship and leads to arguments which last until someone steps in

Younger Sister: Yvette Altera

Two years younger

Hufflepuff

Works as a healer

Always believes in Ninfa when she is doing anything at all and knew that she would still be alright when she lost her eye

She looks up to Ninfa and became a healer to support her indirectly by healing anyone brought back from auror missions

Father: Orazio Altera

Works as a healer

Went to Olympia School of Magic and was chosen by Asclepius

Orazio much like Yvette lets Ninfa do what she wishes for the most part and knows she can handle herself but of course worries him when she is on very dangerous missions

Mother: Calliope Sideris

Works as a magical blacksmith

Went to Olympia School of Magic and was chosen by Hephaestus

Calliope trusts in Ninfa’s abilities wholeheartedly and always reassures her husband when he gets too worried about Ninfa being on a mission

She is also the one who used to stop Ninfa and Enzo’s arguments until Hirtia came around

Love Interest: Hirtia Caldwell

Formerly: David Michaelsen(Deceased)

Best Friends: Oriana Dartsby

Rival:TBD

Enemy:TBD

Dormmates:

Isolde Roissinn of Avalon

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Pre Hogwarts: Ninfa was born in Ariccia, Italy as the second child of Orazio and Calliope. Ninfa lived in Italy until she was nine years old when her family immigrated to Scotland. When she was 10 years old, Ninfa almost drowned when some seaweed got caught around her ankle when high tide was coming in which resulted in the water going above her head. fortunately Enzo noticed her in time and quickly rescued her, however this incident caused her to become scared of the ocean. One day after school, Ninfa was chased up a tree by a group of older children and she fell down it when she put too much weight on a branch, causing her scars on her face but she quickly got up in a blood rage and awakened her family magic using a nearby rock to try fight off the group, the end result was many of the bullies were hospitalised.

Hogwarts Years: In her first year, Ninfa befriended Oriana and Hirtia almost immediately upon meeting both of them. Her mother starts teaching her how to work the forge which she quickly picks up like a duck to water. Ninfa meets David through Hirtia in year four and pretty quickly has a massive crush on him that is obvious to everyone but David Ninfa becomes one of the prefects of Slytherin and becomes an animagus. This is also the year where she forges her gauntlets Her last year at Hogwarts is when she and David finally begin dating and she forges the sword she stores her wand in when she graduates

Post-Hogwarts: After graduating Ninfa became an auror and married David after dating for 6 years. Shortly after their marriage Ninfa became pregnant with their son, Leone but once he was born, David became abusive to Ninfa which eventually resulted in Ninfa killing him mercilessly to protect Leone. 6 months after David’s death, Ninfa was caught in a trap facing 10 wizards by herself, she eventually killed them all singlehandedly but not without the total loss of her left eye Shortly after the loss of her eye, Ninfa is on the case of a serial killer with a long unused way of killing which Ninfa does not know enough about so she goes to consult a historian who happens to be Hirtia and once Hirtia provides all the information she can find, the two catch each other up on what’s happening in their lives. Eventually feelings blossomed and the two began dating each other.

PERSONALITY

Very Confident with one exception

Loyal

Resourceful

Self-Assured

Kind

Very Prideful of her and her friend’s accomplishments

MISC

She is very self conscious about her fear of the ocean due to her almost drowning being the reason Enzo is so overprotective of her along with thinking people will think less of her for it

She makes plum jam regularly and bribes her friends with it

She knows how to play the harp

She knows English, Greek, Italian and German

She has a bear plush that she used to sleep with as a baby that she hands down to her son

Her nymph tattoo look like this, her lion tattoo looks like this and her book tattoo looks like this

Will hug the nearest person to her when she falls asleep and will not let go until she wakes up

She only passed History of Magic thanks to Hirtia as she frequently fell asleep in the classes so never really learned anything in them

She hates blood supremacists

Her family’s home also acts as a home for a herd of Granians that come and go throughout the years, this herd is also the one where Ignia came from
