Magnus walked out to the open field in his Slytherin gear and his Nimbus 1500 broom. Actually, everyone in his team had it because most of them were rich compared to the Gryffindor team where only 4 kids had Nimbus 1500 brooms.
"You better catch the snitch," A 7th-year teammate barked at Magnus.
"Sure, you better keep on scoring points." Magnus talked back.
"ENOUGH. Focus on the game." Lucius voiced up. Everyone quieted down after this.
Both teams lined up on the field. Madam Hooch came and stood between them with the suitcase ready. The audience seats were filled to the brim and loud noises were coming from them. A 5th year was using Sonorous Charm to give commentary.
"Get ready. I will count to three and sound the whistle. That will be the start of the match, the quaffle will be thrown in the air soon after and bludgers and the golden snitch will be released later.
"On the brooms now. Remember, I will disqualify anyone using unfair means to cheat and win. Good luck." Madam Hooch gave instructions.
All players got on their broom and waited for the whistle to sound.
Magnus turned to his side to look at Emma. She had somehow won a seat in the 1st line by giving a discount for the new brooms, perks of being the daughter of Nimbus broom company owner.
"You know what to do, right?" He asked.
She nodded seriously. Gone was the mysterious smile, it was her favourite sport after all. She always said that if she wants to inherit her dad's company, then she must understand the veins of a broom and what makes it great. What better way than quidditch?
"You can count on me, Magnus." She showed a thumbs up.
"1"
"2"
"All the best." Lucius smugly said to Gryffindor captain.
"Sorry for your loss, Malfoy... But we won't show you any pity"
Before it could heat up more, Madam Hooch started the game.
"3"
*WHISTLE*
*WOOSH*
Everyone except Magnus flew away, the game was on and Gryffindor had the first ball. But Magnus and James were waiting for the golden snitch to rise up.
Soon, like a small hummingbird, it hovered in front of their eyes for a split second, making noise with its metal wings.
That was their cue and they zoomed after it. As practised, Magnus was slightly faster, but James was a player to challenge too. His broom control was godly and his reaction speed was also inhuman.
~Ah, some people are born differently.~ Magnus thought.
"Haha, just the speed won't help you win, Magnus. You gotta manoeuvre and safeguard yourself. This is not a race... But a game of chess. Make your move now." James taunted him.
Magnus chuckled, "Don't assume what my abilities are, James. I didn't show them all in the practice sessions. In fact, if everything goes well, I won't have to use it. Ah, I have a special pair of underwear made for you to wear today. I can't wait to see you running around in it."
A deep fear instilled in James' head, ~What has he planned now?~
He regretted making that bet. It was eating up a lot more of his mental abilities than it should. ~I need to focus on the game dammit... And clear that smug smile off his face.~
*WOOSH*
A bludger passed by Magnus. He noticed it came from Gryffindor's side. They were being very aggressive at the moment.
Soon, the announcement came. "AND THE FIRST GOAL GOES TO GRYFFINDOR... WITH THIS, THEY HAVE 10 POINTS LEAD. CAN THE SLYTHERIN COUNTER? LET'S SEE."
Magnus glimpsed at what his team was doing. They had better brooms but were still finding it hard to compete. Soon, he saw the problem. They didn't train on new brooms.
*Sigh* ~I guess it's all up to me then.~ he felt.
He picked his speed and tried to actively chase the golden snitch.
"DOWN"
A sudden voice came and he ducked down without decreasing his speech.
*ZOOM*
A violent bludger just brushed off his hair. James was right behind him so he saw everything. He easily dodged it but now he had a wide smile on his face.
"So this is how you will play? You got your girl to assist?" He muttered. Not knowing Magnus also had a smirk, knowing exactly what James was thinking.
"LEFT"
The next time Emma's voice came, Magnus and James both went a little left. The bludger passed by them and this time, James didn't have to slow down either.
"UP"
James was ready. As soon as he heard it, he noticed Magnus move so he did the same.
"BASTARD..." He suddenly cursed as he saw Magnus doing a fake and going back to the original place.
Instead, he lost the lead this time because the Bludger came from his left at him and he had to save himself.
"Haha... How was it, James?" Magnus' mocking voice came from ahead.
James gritted his teeth.
"DOWN"
Magnus this time did as she shouted and saved himself, while James didn't and stayed vigilante, still losing some speed though. They circled around the seating towers, went up and around the field.
"LEFT!"
MAGNUS made a faint this time. James was already not following him anymore so he was safe too.
"ROUND,"
This time, a different shout came. Magnus immediately changed his seating position and hung down as if a Koala on a branch. The bludger hit James this time, but it was just his shoulder.
James smirked, "So this is your game? I found the pattern now. One true and one false. It's so easy."
It was the excitement and adrenaline that made him make such decisions. So, he decided to focus on these shouts again.
Soon, the next two warnings came. They were as he had expected. One false and one true.
"DOWN!"
As soon as the shout came, Magnus dived down. James did not, thinking it was going to be false.
*BOOM*
Just then, all of a sudden, James felt a powerful knock on his broom from behind him. It was a fricking bludger... It destroyed the tail of the broom, limiting his speed.
"WHY? I GUESSED YOUR PATTERN." He complained.
Magnus' shouting answer came, "YOU GUESSED IT WRONG."
James saw the humiliating bet turning true against him now. It was now the honour of the Potter Family on the line. He had to win it at all costs.
Meanwhile, Magnus was very close to winning. His technique had worked wonders. It was simple, Emma was to add each number of warnings. If that addition was a prime number, then it would be a false warning, if it was a composite number then a true warning.
James' guesses were okay until the number 9 came. Which, leaving the previous order, was not a prime number.
However, Magnus had found something strange in this game. Many times, the bludger of his own team would pass close by him, nearly knocking up-down. This shouldn't happen as only Beaters could give them direction.
~I guess snakes in the house have started showing their fangs.~ he thought to himself and stayed more vigilant.
He flew after the Golden Snitch. It was very fast, fast but he had experienced it many times before.
...
James meanwhile was having problems chasing after Magnus. The distance between them was growing wider and wider.
He looked at one of the Beaters and shouted, "GIVE ME YOUR BROOM!"
So, he exchanged the broom with another team member and was now back in the race. But his headache was not going to end as Emma was still helping him. He just decided to ignore all the warnings but it was still annoying and focus diverting.
He came close to Magnus and tried to divert his attention, "HAHA... I'm back, Magnus. I'm not gonna lose today."
Magnus smirked, "Heh, the game is already at the end. You're too late."
Magnus adjusted himself to be more streamlined and increased his speed a little. The golden snitch was right in front of his eyes.
He inched closer by every second. James stared at him. With every inch Magnus got closer to the golden snitch, his heartbeat increased.
~I can't lose... Not today...~ he told himself, but what could he do?
Magnus was now at arm's length of the golden snitch. He extended it to grab it. The golden snitch was very slippery as it tried to change direction every second but Magnus was fixated on it.
The normal score right now was 40-50 with Slytherin losing. It was shameful that they were losing with better brooms.
Now all eyes were on Magnus as he was about to end the game.
"Come here now... Let's end this." Magnus called for the golden snitch as if it was a baby.
5 centimetres
3 centimetres
1 centimetre
*BOOM*
All of a sudden, a loud noise came. It was not from Magnus.
Magnus instinctively looked for the sources, as did all others. He then noticed Emma. Her broom was now in two pieces as she was falling from the air. It would break lots of bones if she fell from there as she was in extra height in order to give Magnus the right warnings.
Magnus then saw where the bludger came from and it was none other than from his own team.
"DAMMIT..." he cursed and used his secret move. He'd rather not have his spotter injured today.
"Here goes nothing." He muttered to himself and threw away his shoes.
In Quidditch matches, keeping a wand was allowed. But it was not allowed to use it on opponents, opponent's brooms, Bludger, Quaffle and Golden Snitch.
But the magic was still allowed.
Magnus took a long breath and channelled his internal body heat towards his legs. They started getting red within seconds.
*WOOOOSH...*
All of a sudden, deep red flames came out of the lower side of his feet. He shifted them for maximum acceleration and turned to catch falling Emma.
He zoomed past all the players who were watching her fall. Madam Hooch did the same. This was the game of quidditch, there was no guarantee of life in it.
At the very least, Emma was still holding onto her brooms and it had slightly slowed her fall. Though the speed was increasing.
"HORD ON!... EMMAH!." he shouted.
Emma was nervous and scared. She even forgot to scream. She couldn't see Magnus as he was behind her. But hearing him, she felt a ray of hope.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING? I'M HOLDING ON FOR MY LIFE!" She shouted back.

Magnus was faster than any broom ever made or maybe will ever be made. He zoomed towards her. The audience gasped seeing the scene.
"HORZ MAH HANZ!" he called out.
"I CAN'T SEE YOU. AND WHY ARE YOU TALKING LIKE THIS?" She shouted back.
Magnus gritted his teeth and increased his speed. She was close to hitting the ground.
She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come on the impact. The broken broom had lost all its life by now and she was falling at full speed.
"GOTTHA..."
She heard Magnus's voice and felt something grabbed onto her wrist. She opened her eyes again and saw Magnus holding her with one hand. His blonde hair fluttered over her face as he looked at her with his now red eyes.
She looked at his furrowed face, but the next moment, she started laughing. "HAHAHAHA! You are a crazy boy."
Magnus shook his head. She was still hanging in mid-air and had the audacity to laugh at him. But, she did not laugh due to him coming to save her. But because of what he did before that.
Right now, in between Magnus's teeth was the golden snitch, stuck and flapping its wings trying to get free. Although he wanted to save Emma, he still didn't want to lose the match.
In fact, everyone was confused about what happened to the golden snitch as nobody saw it after Magnus headed towards Emma.
Magnus slowly lowered his broom and arrived at the ground. He lowered Emma to the ground and then dismounted himself as well.
Then, to put an end to the game, he took the golden snitch held between his jaws and showed it to everyone with his hands. He raised it in the air and within that instant, a loud whistle came, signifying the end of the match.
"MAGNUS HAS CAUGHT THE GOLDEN SNITCH. SLYTHERIN WON!" the commentator announced and lots of students cheered. In all honesty, Magnus was more liked in other houses than in Slytherin.
Magnus though was not happy at all. He looked at the senior Slytherin players in the air, who were responsible for what had happened right now. They most likely targeted her.
~Fine, I will play by your dirty rules then.~ He decided and looked at Emma.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yup, 'Tis but a scratch." She replied exactly how once Magnus did.
"Hehe, get up then. We won." He cheered.
Then his eyes fell on the sad form of James. "Get ready to face the consequences."
James shivered hearing him and looked away, though he knew he could not get away from this. After all, he can not run away from school.
Magnus waved his hand towards the audience, showing the golden snitch. It was his first win and he was also happy. Eventually, the crowd dispersed and the celebrations started in the Slytherin common room. Magnus did not say anything to Lucius as talking to him would be dragging himself down. Now it was time to answer in the same tone.
"It was them, wasn't it?" Ragnar scowled at the Slytherin gang.
"Yup, it was they who threw it." Magnus nodded.
"Then we should start planning for a good payback," Snape said.
Magnus and Ragnar looked at Snape in shock. Magnus asked, "Am I hearing correctly? Sev want to take the first step?"
Snape scoffed, "They are actively trying to physically harm us now. We cannot sit silent."
Ragnar nodded, "True, true. Let's add some poison to their food."
"WHAT? We don't want to kill them, Ragnar." Magnus objected.
"No, no, I was not talking about mortally wounding poison. Like, some voice changing, slug vomiting, hair change, balding potions." Ragnar clarified.
"Cool, start brewing it then. Anyway, you got the special underwear for James ready?" Magnus asked.
Ragnar smiled evilly, "Hehe, yes I do. I chose an extra small one and the special print you asked for on it is also clearly made."
Magnus smiled, "It's going to be fun. Let's go to Gryffindor's common room."
"HEY... take me too. I helped you win after all." Emma came running to them.
"Sure, you can join us now. They are attacking you anyway." Magnus let her follow them.
They arrived at the Gryffindor tower. They did not know what the password was so they knocked on the door. They stayed there for a while because the common rooms are big and hearing knocks inside is hard.
Soon, the door was opened by a prefect. Magnus smiled, "Hello, where is James? He lost the bet, now it is time to face the challenge like a true Gryffindor."
The prefect chuckled and went inside to call James and his friends. After a while, James, Sirius, Remus and Peter came.
Sirius laughed loudly seeing Magnus' smirking face and James' frowning face.
"What have you planned for James?" Sirius asked.
Magnus smiled, "As planned while betting. He shall buy Nimbus 1500 for my whole team."
"Thank you for that," Emma added.
Magnus continued, "The next is, the main part. Running around the school in underwear. And here is your underwear."
Magnus took out a small piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to James.
It was small and white for the most part. Except where the image pattern was. James started at it in horror. This was not what he imagined he would need to wear.
"What's with this pattern on it? Are you trying to get me expelled?" James questioned.
"Don't worry. It's harmless. Nobody's going to expel you for such a small thing. Now, get ready, you will need to run around the school in the evening, before bedtime." Magnus told him.
James took a sigh of relief, thinking that now because he had to run late at night, not many would be out to see him and his honour could remain intact for the most part.
So wrong he was to think that. The whole school knew about this bet and were waiting to see James embarrass himself.
So, when people finished their dinner and headed back to their common rooms, they in fact avoided going back and roamed around the castle.
Magnus, Ragnar, Snape and Emma waited in the corridor leading out from the Gryffindor common room.
"Is he really going to do it?" Emma asked in wonder.
Magnus nodded, "He must, or he knows he will be shamed as a proud Griffindor."
"Oof... I don't have enough guts to imagine myself in his place." Ragnar felt pity for James.
"LOOK... the door opened." Snape pointed.
They turned to see. Soon, a figure came out of the common room. It was James. All naked except the underwear. He was trying to hide his crotch with his hands.
"HAHA... RUN, BOY." Magnus shouted.
Soon, James cursed at him and started to run. Behind him, Sirius, Remus and Peter also followed him. Magnus and his friends did the same.
After a while, James's misconception that there won't be lots of students also cleared up as he saw the corridors filled and many whistles coming his way.
People pointed towards his underwear, mainly the pattern on it. It was nothing but the face of Dumbledore with an open mouth. James now just hoped that Dumbledore wouldn't see it.
But, to his deepest fears, Dumbledore just came out of the great hall as he was passing by. He and McGonagall were taken aback by his naked form.
Dumbledore's eyes fell on his own face on the underwear and he stroked his beard, ~When did they take that picture?~
Professor McGonagall though ran after James as the head of Gryffindor house. She could not allow such actions in the school.
"MR POTTER. STOP." She shouted.
James closed his eyes and kept on running, "SORRY, PROFESSOR. BUT A GRYFFINDOR NEVER BREAKS HIS WORDS."
"YOUR PARENTS WILL BE BREAKING YOUR BONES IF YOU DO NOT STOP THIS INSTANT!" She replied.
"SO BE IT!" James said and picked up his speed.
Hearing him, Magnus, Sirius and the rest rolled on the floor in laughter. Their stomachs hurt from it.
That night, the castle howled in laughter. James lost a bit of his self-respect but odds were in his favour because he was just in 1st year and most would soon forget about the incident. The Christmas holiday was coming soon anyway so people would be going home.
James finished his one round around the castle and quickly returned to his common room. He was sure he would get detention the next day. Magnus might get it too to be the one forcing this event to take place, but he did not care, it was time and energy well spent.
Magnus returned to his room and played with his three pets for a while before getting back to learning runes. He was excited about it because he wanted to develop spells too.
"What are you working on, Sev?" Magnus asked, seeing his friend working on some books.
"A new curse. An improved version of some other spells. I call it Sectumsempra. But I need to work on it." Snape replied.
Magnus whistled, "Woah, I am surrounded by geniuses."
Then his eyes fell on his 3 pets, "And three blokes."
As soon as they heard him, they attacked as if he was understood. They tried to climb his body.
"MEOOOOOW..."
"QUAAAACK"
"ORRRRRRR"
"HAHA... what is this? Attack on Magnus? All right, I'll show who's the boss." Hence, Magnus did some wrestling with the three, making them happy.
