A/N: It's all about Cara Jameson, a witch and gymnast. This is her story of some busy years in her life. I am a gymnast, so this is my attempt to slightly combine that world with the great world of Harry Potter!
Chapter one
Wake up it's a beautiful morning
Narrators POV
The sun was rising over the mountains as Cara Jameson's alarm clock went off. Cara was a 15 year old witch from Ireland, she was a pureblood but grew up alongside muggles as well as wizards. She pulled herself lazily out of bed and opened the long white curtains of her hotel room in Athens. It was a beautiful sight, the sun was bright red and she could feel the heat slowly creep into her bedroom. She walked over to her bathroom and looked in the mirror. She brushed her long blonde hair out of her magnificent electric blue eyes and pulled it into a high bun. She put on a leotard and rested her foot on the sink to stretch it out. When she was done she put on her oversized white tracksuit with orange and green stripes down the sides. She nervously grabbed her huge gym bag and made her way to breakfast. It would soon be time to put all her hard work to use.
Cara's POV
Merlin my stomach feels full of flobberworms! I met my coach Mike at breakfast, completely pointless if you ask me, ask a girl if she wants scrambled eggs when she is about to be seen by half the world in a leotard alongside the worlds best gymnasts! But I have to confess I love it, that feeling when we arrived at the stadium. My legs wanted to fall from under me! I felt so proud to be there! Merlin I sound corny but it's my ecstasy. I started on bars, my least favourite apparatus! Got through it with a good landing, that's unbelievable, and to think I was planning the quickest route away from the cameras when I fell flat on my face, provided the ambulance weren't too persistent! But no need to worry, I scored a 9.56 which put me in 2nd position.
Mikes POV
I had just lifted her up on the uneven parallel bars, and I stood back to watch and hope! She is always top class so I wasn't worried. I watched her in her nation's colours, a white velvet leotard with a large orange star on her hip and a green one on her opposite shoulder, which continued down her arm. I was so proud. The crowd went crazy when she only got a 9.56. Surely a judge would be suspended for that! When she finished all I could do was hug her, I was so proud. Beam next…
Cara's POV
Ok not the worst, got a 9.8, which put me well ahead after the beam. Hi Ho Hi Ho its off to floor we go! I feel kind off ashamed to say this but I felt so good, I was actually in the lead! This is the best because I'm always best on floor when I'm on a high! Wow I could feel the energy running through my veins as I flipped, somersaulted and actually pulled off a triple twist somersault perfectly! Tee Hee. Hurrah for me, can't hide the smile!
Narrators POV
Cara scored a 9.8 on floor, and went on to astound the crowd on her favourite apparatus, vault. She won three gold Olympic medals, and one silver. She arrived home in Ireland to the heroes welcome she had not expected. She did interviews, then finally flooed home, where her Hogwarts letter was waiting for her alongside a party of the more magical kind. Immediately she spotted the Weasley twins.
Cara's POV
HEYYYYY! I jumped them from behind! They were a year and a bit younger than I was, but where pranks are concerned, age ain't wisdom! I wasn't at Hogwarts last year because I was training but I always met them at holidays when they filled me in on the pranks they played! Then I spotted Charlie, he is a fellow Gryffindor, he's 16 and is seeker on the quidditch team, I'm chaser. He was surrounded by some of my female cousins, all flirting with him! I think he'll be glad to get away from them, ah who am I to deny him of sanity! So I walk over and butt in on the conversation making sure to make fun of all my cousins! Mwah ha ha! What! They were practically drooling, I saved them the embarrassment! Oh oh evil grin from my brother! Shane is 18 and starting his seventh year at Hogwarts.
"What you grinning at?" I asked playfully to Shane.
"You, being evil!"
"Good to know I amused you!"
"True, nice medals by the way! Fancy a game of quidditch?"
"Hell ya!"
We all gathered in the field beside our house, Dad had made a mini pitch for us! The twins played Beaters for my team, Charlie was seeker, two of my ditzy cousins and I were chasers, and we put Percy in goals (a funny sight). The twins were a force to be reckoned with, bet they'll make the team soon, they are naturals. Besides that, there was only me to try to counteract the score my brother got! Luckily Charlie caught the snitch just after I had put us ahead! We made a good team!
I slept solid that night after such a crazy day! I dreamt of flying gymnasts trying to catch Charlie in order to win a medal!
I woke up gently to hear my mother calling on me.
"Cara get out of bed we have to get to Diagon Alley!"
"Ya I'm up!"
I lazily walked into my bathroom, where the mirror revealed a young woman with her hair all messed up and her pajamas twisted around her slim athletic frame, which was nicely tanned from Greece. I showered and decided to wear my baggy blue jeans with a yellow off the shoulder top, I scrunched my hair up on top of my head and ran downstairs. After some breakfast we all flooed to Diagon Alley, I talked my mum into buying my fifth year books. I began to run away from her but ran straight into something and fell flat on my arse!
"Oh merlin I am so sorry, I saw a shiny broom across the street!" I explained.
"Typical!" A familiar Scottish accent said as he helped me off the ground.
"Oh hey Oliver, sorry, I didn't see you there. How was your summer?" Oliver is on the team too, he plays keeper.
" It was alright. Yours? Is your dad with you?"
My dad plays professional quidditch player, so Ol is naturally interested! He has won the league for the Ballycastle Bats for the last three years.
"No he's too busy right now because he's moving to Puddlemere United" Olivers face burst into a big grin, like a child on Christmas morning.
"Seriously? That's great, I support them! That's so cool!"
"Ok take a breath Wood! Sorry but I have to go, the Quidditch shop awaits me! Nice to see you!"
"Ya brilliant! See you at Hogwarts!" He stayed where he was, watching me the whole way to the quidditch shop, I swear that boy is slightly obsessed with my dad!
I spent ages in the quidditch shop before mum dragged Shane and I out and brought us home.
