   Lee Jordan's mentary rang through the stadium and Harry listened as hard as he could through the wind whistling in his ears and the din of the crowd; all yelling and booing and singing。
   '… dodges Warrington; avoids a Bludger … close call; Alicia … and the crowd are loving this; just listen to them; what's that they're singing?'
   
   And as Lee paused to listen; the song rose loud and clear from the sea of green and silver in the Slytherin section of the stands:
   
   'Weasley cannot save a thing; He cannot block a single ring; That's why Slytherins all sing: Weasley is our King。
   'Weasley was born in a bin He always lets the Quaffle in Weasley will make sure we win Weasley is our King。'
   
   '… and Alicia passes back to Angelina!' Lee shouted; and as Harry swerved; his insides boiling at what he had just heard; he knew Lee was trying to drown out the words of the song。 'e on now;
   
   Angelina … looks like she's got just the Keeper to beat! … SHE SHOOTS … SHE … aaaah:'
   
   Bletchley; the Slytherin Keeper; had saved the goal; he threw the Quaffle to Warrington who sped off with it; zig…zagging in between Alicia and Katie; the singing from below grew louder and louder as he drew nearer and nearer Ron。
   'Weasley is our King; Weasley is our King; He always lets the Quaffle in Weasley is our King。'
   
   Harry could not help himself: abandoning his search for the Snitch; he wheeled around to watch Ron; a lone figure at the far end of the pitch; hovering before the three goalhoops while the massive Warrington pelted towards him。
   '… and it's Warrington with the Quaffle; Warrington heading for goal; he's out of Bludger range with just the Keeper ahead …'
   
   A great swell of song rose from the Slytherin stands below:
   
   'Weasley cannot save a thing; He cannot block a single ring:〃
   
   '… so it's the first test for new Gryffindor Keeper Weasley; brother of Beaters Fred and George; and a promising new talent on the team … e on; Ron!'
   
   But the scream of delight came from the Slytherins' end: Ron had dived wildly; his arms wide; and the Quaffle had soared between them straight through Ron's central hoop。
   'Slytherin score!' came Lee's voice amid the cheering and booing from the crowds below; 'so that's ten…nil to Slytherin … bad luck; Ron。'
   
   The Slytherins sang even louder:
   
   'WEASLEY WAS BORN IN A BIN
   
   HE ALWAYS LETS THE QUAFFLE IN:'
   
   '… and Gryffindor back in possession and it's Katie Bell tanking up the pitch …' cried Lee valiantly; though the singing was now so deafening that he could hardly make himself heard above it。
   
   'WEASLEY WILL MAKE SURE WE WIN WEASLEY IS OUR KING:'
   
   'Harry; WHAT ARE YOU DOING?' screamed Angelina; soaring past him to keep up with Katie。 'GET GOING!'
   
   Harry realised he had been stationary in midair for over a minute; watching the progress of the match without sparing a thought for the whereabouts of the Snitch; horrified; he went into a dive and started circling the pitch again; staring around; trying to ignore the chorus now thundering through the stadium:
   
   'WEASLEY IS OUR KINC; WEASLEY IS OUR KING:'
   
   There was no sign of the Snitch anywhere he looked; Malfoy was still circling the stadium just as he was。 They passed one another midway around the pitch; going in opposite directions; and Harry heard Malfoy singing loudly:
   
   'WEASLEY WAS BORN IN A BIN:'
   
   '… and it's Warrington again;' bellowed Lee; 'who passes to Pucey; Pucey's off past Spinnet; e on now; Angelina; you can take him … turns out you can't … but nice Bludger from Fred Weasley; I mean; George Weasley; oh; who cares; one of them; anyway; and Warrington drops the Quaffle and Katie Bell … er … drops it; too … so that's Montague with the Quaffle; Slytherin Captain Montague takes the Quaffle and he's off up the pitch; e on now; Gryffindor; block him!'
   
   Harry zoomed around the end of the stadium behind the Slytherin goalhoops; willing himself not to look at what was going on at Ron's end。 As he sped past the Slytherin Keeper; he heard Bletchley singing along with the crowd below:
   
   'WEASLEY CANNOT SAVE A THING:〃
   
   '… and Pucey's dodged Alicia again and he's heading straight for goal; stop it; Ron!'
   
   Harry did not have to look to see what had happened: there was a terrible groan from the Gryffindor end; coupled with fresh screams and applause from the Slytherins。 Looking down; Harry saw the pug…faced Pansy Parkinson right at the front of the stands; her back to the pitch as she conducted the Slytherin supporters who were roaring:
   
   THAT'S WHY SLYTHERINS ALL SING WEASLEY IS OUR KING。'
   
   But twenty…nil was nothing; there was still time for Gryffindor to catch up or catch the Snitch。 A few goals and they would be in the lead as usual; Harry assured himself; bobbing and weaving through the other players in pursuit of something shiny that turned out to be Montague's watchstrap。
   But Ron let in two more goals。 There was an edge of panic in Harry's desire to find the Snitch now。 If he could just get it soon and finish the game quickly。
   '… and Katie Bell of Gryffindor dodges Pucey; ducks Montague; nice swerve; Katie; and she throws to Johnson; Angelina Johnson takes the Quaffle; she's past Warrington; she's heading for goal; e on now; Angelina … GRYFFINDOR SCORE! It's forty…ten; forty…ten to Slytherin and Pucey has the Quaffle
   
   Harry could hear Luna's ludicrous lion hat roaring amidst the Gryffindor cheers and felt heartened; only thirty points in it; that was nothing; they could pull back easily。 Harry ducked a Bludger that Crabbe had sent rocketing in his direction and resumed his frantic scouring of the pitch for the Snitch; keeping one eye on Malfoy in case he showed signs of having spotted it; but Malfoy; like him; was continuing to soar around the stadium; searching fruitlessly:
   
   '… Pucey throws to Warrington; Warrington to Montague; Montague back to Pucey …Johnson intervenes; Johnson takes the
   
   Quaffle; Johnson to Bell; this looks good … I mean bad … Bells hit by a Bludger from Goyle of Slytherin and it's Pucey in possession
   
   'WEASLEY WAS BORN IN A BIN
   HE ALWAYS LETS THE QUAFFLE IN …》。
   WEASLEY WILL MAKE SURE WE WIN
   
   But Harry had seen it at last: the tiny fluttering Golden Snitch was hovering feet from the ground at the Slytherin end of the pitch。
   He dived:
   
   In a matter of seconds; Malfoy was streaking out of the sky on Harry's left; a green and silver blur lying flat on his broom:
   
   The Snitch skirted the foot of one of the goalhoops and scooted off towards the other side of the stands; its change of direction suited Malfoy; who was nearer; Harry pulled his Firebolt around; he and Malfoy were now neck and neck:
   
   Feet from the ground; Harry lifted his right hand from his broom; stretching towards the Snitch: to his right; Malfoy's arm extended too; was reaching; groping:
   
   It was over in two breathless; desperate; windswept seconds …Harry's fingers closed around the tiny; struggling ball … Malfoy's fingernails scrabbled the back of Harry's hand hopelessly … Harry pulled his broom upwards; holding the struggling ball in his hand and the Gryffindor spectators screamed their approval:
   
   They were saved; it did not matter that Ron had let in those goals; nobody would remember as long as Gryffindor had won …
   
   WHAM。
   A Bludger hit Harry squarely in the small of the back and he flew forwards off his broom。 Luckily he was only five or six feet above the ground; having dived so low to catch the Snitch; but he was winded all the same as he landed flat on his back on the frozen pitch。 He heard Madam Hooch's shrill whistle; an uproar in the stands pounded of catcalls; angry yells and jeering; a thud; then Angelinas frantic voice。
   'Are you all right?'
   
   'Course I am;' said Harry grimly; taking her hand and allowing her to pull him to his feet。 Madam Hooch was zooming towards one of the Slytherin players above him; though he could not see who it was from this angle。
   'It was that thug Crabbe;' said Angelina angrily; 'he whacked the Bludger at you the moment he saw you'd got the Snitch … but we won; Harry; we won!'
   
   Harry heard a snort from behind him and turned around; still holding the Snitch tightly in his hand: Draco Malfoy had landed close by。 White…faced with fury; he was still managing to sneer。
   'Saved Weasley's neck; haven't you?' he said to Harry。 'I've never seen a worse Keeper: but then he was born in a bin: did you like my lyrics; Potter?'
   
   Harry didn't answer。 He turned away to meet the rest of the team who were now landing one by one; yelling and punching the air in triumph; all except Ron; who had dismounted from his broom over by the goalposts and seemed to be making his way slowly back to the changing rooms alone。
   'We wanted to write another couple of verses!' Malfoy called; as Katie and Alicia hugged Harry。 'But we couldn't find rhymes for fat and ugly … we wanted to sing about his mother; see …'
   
   Talk about sour grapes;' said Angelina; casting Malfoy a disgusted look。
   '… we couldn't fit in useless loser either … f
