So reader is one of the Slytherin chasers and she gets hurt on one of the Slytherin vs Gryffindor matches (maybe just a sprained wrist, or a concussion, whatever you prefer is good!) and imagine just the two captains losing their cool, its either funny or very chaotic or both, really just craving hurt and comfort

poly!jegulus x fem!reader who plays keeper for the Slytherin team
It was very clear that Regulus was stressed. You knew he didnât like having to call you up to play.
âQuidditch players play dirty, amour. Have you seen Barty out there?â he had urged you, earning him a roll of your eyes.
âGood thing Iâm not playing against Barty then, huh?â
âYeah, but youâre playing against the players that are playing against Barty; theyâre going to go for blood.â
But this was your job as a reserve player. The Slytherin keeper had a case of mumblemumps and was currently on bedrest, meaning it was your turn to step onto the field.
Regulus had âdouble checkedâ your equipment for the sixth time before you swatted him away.
âIâm okay, Reg. Iâve played before, yeah?â
Regulus sighed and looked into your eyes imploringly. âDo not take any unnecessary risks, okay? Especially against those animals.â He muttered.
You snorted a laugh. âYou do realise weâre playing our boyfriend, yeah? The captain of those âanimalsâ?â
Regulus levelled you with a glare. âExactly.â
You opted to ignore Regulusâ worried ramblings in French and hyped yourself up for the game. Regulus had been hoping that the keeper would pull through in time for the game and was only willing to call you up a mere twenty minutes ago, meaning you hadnât been mentally prepared for this.
Perhaps more importantly, neither had James
âWHAT IN THE BUGGERING FUCK IS SHE DOING OUT HERE!?â You heard James shout as he marched over to the Slytherinâs on the pitch, earning him a warning from Madame Hooch.
âCrawley is still in the infirmary.â You explained simply as James made it to you and began fussing with your equipment and uniform in much the same way Regulus had already.
âSo what? Heâs got swollen glands and a case of the mumbles, he can play sodding quidditch.â He muttered, tightening your elbow pads to almost painful lengths.
âOkay, James, enough.â You began shoving at him, but Regulus came to your defence.
âIâve already done all that, James.â He sighed, sounding equally as disturbed about this as James did.
âI donât like it. Maybe we should forfeit?â James mused aloud, earning him a horrified outcry from Marlene and Sirius.
âLike hell weâre forfeiting just because your girlfriend is playing, Prongs!â Sirius shouted at the same time as Marlene cried âI know sheâs got a pretty face, but this is quidditch, Potter!â
âYou never get this worked up over playing against Black, Potter.â Barty goaded from behind you, earning him a dark glare from Regulus.
âThatâs because heâs busy looking for the snitch and well out of the action, Junior.â James sneered back before returning his eyes back to you. âOh, my poor girl.â
You groaned and stepped away from the boys at that. âThis is ridiculous, letâs sodding play!â
With an unnecessary amount of reluctance on his part, James stalked back off towards his team as everyone got into formation for the whistle.
The game was as fast-paced and intense as any game was against Slytherin and Gryffindor; the intense and deep-rooted rivalry causing the air to crackle with electricity.
As was predicted by anyone and everyone who knew Barty Crouch Junior, he was one lunatic of a beater, lobbing the bludgers at the opposing players with an unnecessary amount of force. The chasers on the other team seemed to be taking that in stride for the most part, save McLaggen who appeared to take each hit personally.
Any anxiety you had prior to the game melted away with the ease and familiarity of your broom beneath you and the rhythm of swatting quaffles away from your goal posts. Though James talked a big game of you being in âthe thick of itâ, keepers were the only players allowed within the vicinity of the goal posts, contributing to a certain amount of protection for those in your position.
Unfortunately, the seventh time McLaggen was hit by one of Bartyâs bludgers seemed to be the undoing of this so-far fair-played game.
In a manner that seemed to be fueled by pure rage, McLaggen managed to bypass Barty and the other Slytherin beater, and beelined it for you. You would have been impressed by his skills and quick manoeuvres on his broom but you realised too late that he had nearly made it all the way over to you.
âOi! Stay out of my zone!â You called at him, alerting the chaserâs presence to Barty.
With little more than a twist of his broom, Barty was barrelling his way towards you and aiming a bludger for McLaggen. You were slowly backing up towards your posts in an attempt to stay in position to block McLaggenâs quaffle whilst also trying to stay out of the way of his broom when he suddenly dropped altitude as soon as Bartyâs bludger left his hand.
You looked down as he smiled up at you, realising too late what that meant for you.
Suddenly, your vision went black as the bludger made impact with the crown of your head, and you tasted iron as the wind ripped violently through your hair.
You could hear shouting and swearing, suddenly aware that you no longer had your broom under you; you were freefalling.
Still without sight, you had only seconds to brace yourself before you made impact with the hard ground below you.
Your lungs were being squeezed by a large fist within your chest and your ears were ringing something fierce.
There was warmth; warmth on your head, by your ear, trailing down your neck. It felt good against the wind that had accosted you moments earlier.
There was pressure at your collar bone, and deep within your chest.
The pressure became too much.
You took a gaping breath and with that, the ringing in your ears made way for the chaos surrounding you to permeate your consciousness.
âOkay, okay. Okay, good; good job amour, keep breathing. Youâre okay, okay? Okay, youâre okay.â You heard Regulus chant, his voice taut with emotions. âBreathe amour, breathe.â
You took a few more gasping breaths and tore your eyes open, realising then that the lack of sight wasnât due to inability, but rather your bodyâs unwillingness.
âHi, hi amour. Youâre okay.â Regulus said breathlessly, his eyes scanning between the two of yours before flitting up to something above you.
Your hearing was still fuzzy but you could hear something happening out of your line of sight.
âYelling.â You choked out, coughing through the pain of having had the wind knocked out of your mere moments ago.
âWHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING, MCLAGGEN? THE KEEPER ZONES ARE OFF FUCKING LIMITS.â
âItâs okay, amour. Donât worry about that, just keep breathing for me, okay?â Regulus urged, placing a gentle hand on the juncture of your neck and shoulder causing you to wince in pain.
âMr. Potter, you need to calm down.â Madame Hooch could be heard from behind you.
âIâll do no such thing! He fucking orchestrated that! YOU LET YOUR BEATERS TAKE CARE OF OTHER BOTHERSOME BEATERS! YOUâVE BEEN PLAYING QUIDDITCH FOR SODDING YEARS, YOU KNOW WHAT JUNIOR IS LIKE.â
âOi! Get your fucking hands off of me!â
âYouâre off the team. Youâre DONE. Get the fuck out of my sight.â
You heard what sounded like McLaggen storm off towards the locker rooms as Madame Hooch let out a sigh.
âThe game is a draw, Slytherin is forced to forfeit with no keeper. Everyone off the pitch.â She droned in monotone.
âJamie.â You whimpered, your sinuses suddenly swelling painfully.
âHey! Hey babylove, Iâm here.â He said quickly, quietly, gently; his voice a dramatic change from the way heâd been speaking to his team moments ago.
âIâm okay.â You stated, though it sounded more like a question with the way your voice tilted upwards at the end.
âOf course you are, youâre such a strong girl.â He agreed readily, offering you a sad smile. You chuckled self-deprecatingly and lifted your hand to wipe your tears as they trailed into your hairline, grimacing when your hand came back bloody.
âJust a bump, yeah?â James said lightly, causing Regulus to sniffle.
âI think she hurt her collarbone too.â He whispered as if speaking any louder would cause his voice to break and the tears to fall.
âOkay, alright.â James said as Madame Pomfrey arrived with a gurney. âHead injury and possibly injured collarbone.â He relayed to the matron.Â
âThank you, Mr. Potter. Mr. Black, Iâll take over now; please step aside.â
But Regulus didnât seem able to let go.
âMr. Black.â
âCome on, Reggie. Weâll follow her up, yeah?â James tried gently, pulling at Regulusâ shoulder so that the matron could levitate you onto the gurney.Â
âWeâre right behind you, okay sweetheart?â James called after you as he held Regulus to his side, and you let unconsciousness pull at you with the knowledge that they were following you back to the castle.Â
âIâm going to fucking kill him, Pads. Iâm going to skin him alive and put his head on a spike on the Gryffindor stadium.âÂ
You heard Sirius chuckle at the sound of Jamesâ dramatics, though he never bothered to argue with his mate.Â
âHow is it that youâre such a lover boy and my brother is such a gremlin; but anything happens to her and the two of you trade personalities?â Sirius taunted. You heard a shuffle, a grunt, and then an âoi!â before the sound of Remusâ voice permeated the infirmary.
âAlright, alright. Pads, get off your brother.â
âAnd then, and then! Iâm going to mail his ear to his mother with a note saying âyou raised a fucking wankerâ.â James continued as if no one had said a word.
âY/N?â You heard Remus ask, causing the shuffling of your boyfriend and his brother, and the musings of your other boyfriend to come to a halt as they waited with bated breath for you to open your eyes.
âThere she is.â James sighed in relief as his eyes met yours, his smile only at a fraction of its usual wattage, though it was still enough to brighten up the grim infirmary.
âHi.â You croaked, wincing as your stretch was impeded by a sling on your arm.
âNo, donât.â Regulus whispered, brushing your elbow with a touch that was barely there. âMadame Pomfrey reset your collarbone, youâll be in the sling for a few weeks.â He explained.
âGives us all the more of an excuse to fuss over you, yeah?â James offered, clearly trying to keep spirits up.
Though you knew James was likely just as worked up about your injury as Regulus currently was (if not more, if his threats of murder and mutilation were anything to go off of), he was making an effort to be strong for both of your sakeâs.
âReggie, Iâm okay.â You pressed, taking Regulusâ hand in yours that wasnât currently pressed to your side.Â
âI know.â He whispered back.
âSo are you.âÂ
Regulusâ face crumpled at that and he slowly lowered his head to rest on your abdomen.
âGlad to see you up and atâem, Y/N.â Rem smiled at you as Sirius shot you a wink before patting Regulus on the shoulder and leaving the three of you some privacy.Â
âReggie, babe.â James murmured, moving to stand behind Regulus and rub at his shoulders soothingly. âYouâre going to get tears and snot all over our poor girlâs jumper.â
âSod off.â Regulus mumbled into your stomach, causing you and James to chuckle.Â
Regulusâ head popped up at that, and he looked at you shyly from red rimmed eyes behind black curls falling over his forehead.Â
âYou promise me youâre okay?â He whispered, rubbing his thumb back-and-forth over your knuckles.
You nodded and offered him a small smile.Â
Regulus sighed and sat up, rubbing at his face. âGood.â He said simply as he stood.
âIâve got a Gryffindor to kill.â
He placed a gentle kiss to your temple and stalked out of the infirmary before your horrified glance moved to James who stood passively at the end of your bed.
âJames!?â You asked, gesturing with your good arm towards the entrance.
James shook his head and waved you off. âDonât worry; Padâs and Moony are on watch out there. We knew once you woke up heâd be on a warpath.âÂ
You let out a surprised laugh as James casually took Regulusâ vacated seat beside you and picked up your good hand.
âYou sure youâre okay?â
âJust sore.â You offered with a nod.Â
âWell, I donât like that you got hurt, but I do like getting to take care of you.â He said salaciously, pressing a kiss to the back of your hand.Â
You shared a soft smile with James before you heard screeching.Â
âI need a healer!â
James brows furrowed as he turned to see 1) McLaggen holding a jumper to his face leaving a trail of blood droplets behind him and 2) Regulus, Sirius, and Remus walking back towards your bed far too nonchalantly for your liking.Â
âYou were supposed to stop him!â James shouted at Sirius as he gestured to Regulus.
Sirius smirked. âOh, we did.â
James let out a surprised scoff. âThen howâd he manage to maim McLaggen?â
âI didnât have to.â Regulus replied simply, sitting on the end of your bed and pulling your feet into his lap as he massaged them through the blankets. âBarty got to him first.â
