"Professor McGonagall no!! Please!! ANYONE but him!" Rachel begged,
not wanting to be paired with Kevin Regnarg, AGAIN.
"It would be for your benefit to silence yourself Miss Wood." Minerva McGonagall replied sternly.
"Damn you.." She thought as she sat down next to Kevin Regnarg and folded her arms. They together were Gryffindor 5th years. They had absolutely nothing in common, except that they both hated each other. Well..sometimes. At least that's how they acted.
"I don't see why you complain so much. It's no big deal." the disgustingly correct blonde haired boy smirked after saying this.
"No big deal.? What's that supposed to mean?" Rachel was sick and tired of this guy's stupid way of speaking.
He chuckled a little. "It means it doesn't really matter. It's just one assignment. Maybe if you weren't late for class every day you wouldn't always get paired with me." He replied smiling that gorgeous smile that made her absolutely nauseous.
"Yeah, well maybe if you had friends you wouldn't get paired with me." She said sickly, seeming satisfied with her comeback.
"I don't see YOU paired with any of YOUR friends." He replied slyly. "I'd rather have no friends then bitchy ones." He seemed to be looking at Rachel's best friend Riley Jackson, who had paired with Hermione Granger. Rachel knew it was only because Riley wanted a good grade, but oh well.
Rachel seethed with anger at his comment. She couldn't stand this boy. She really did hate him. School had only been in session for three weeks. They were both new. Rachel coming from Beauxbatons, and Kevin coming from Maxele, an American school. He had been schooled with Riley his whole life, and didn't seem to like her one bit. Just the opposite came from Rachel's side. She had only met Riley, but spent lots of time with her, and seemed to like her just fine. Riley was also in their house of Gryffindor.
The rest of the class went by fairly slow. It always did when she was with Kevin, or Regnarg as she preferred to call him. Rachel tried to keep her spirits up because after this, her older brother Oliver would be holding Quidditch Tryouts. Yes, her brother was Oliver Wood, 6th year, Gryffindor Quidditch Captain! (This being his favorite title of course.) She didn't mind him sometimes, but when he got in the way of her life, things got ugly.
"Class you are dismissed." McGonagall said in her same casual tone. The class immediately stood up and scattered out of the room, heading in different directions. Most of them were heading to the Great Hall for dinner, for this was the last lesson of the day.
"Later Wood." Kevin said with that vomit-inducing grin of his, swinging his bag over his shoulder. Rachel replied with an eye roll, and walked in a different direction, heading toward the Quidditch Pitch.
Suddenly, Rachel was greeted with two arms wrapped around her neck from each side. Then came two very familiar voices.
"Hullo Rach!" George said in his sweet tone.
"Heading off to the Pitch are we?" Fred grinned.
"Why as a matter of fact I am. I hope there aren't many other people going for Chaser." she replied, looking slightly worried.
"What!? We wouldn't dare vote on someone other than you!" Fred bellowed.
"I knew Ang and Kate would get kicked off for fightin' eventually. Of course Leesh went with 'em. I don't blame 'er I woulda too if I was in 'er shoes." Came another voice from behind them.
"Of course you did Ollie. You ALWAYS know what's going to happen to your players right?" the twins beamed at Rachel's response.
"Yes, yes I do. And YOU Miss Wood-" he tapped her on the nose. "- Shall not receive any unfair treatment." Oliver looked at the twins.
"Us? UNFAIR?" they said in unison, looking very innocent. "Oh Olie how could you? I'm so hurt." Fred added, and George snickered.
"Right. I forgot. These are our angel beaters." He replied with a sarcastic look on his face.
Wide-toothed grins came onto the twins' faces, and they wrapped their arms around each other. "Yep.that's us!" George replied. Rachel laughed as they stepped on to the Quidditch Field.
"So we're in for three chasers, and a seeker." Oliver said as he sat down behind the long table that would contain he and the twins as they judged. Fred and George took their seats, and Oliver handed each of them a clipboard.
"When you like what ya see-" Oliver paused. "-And I mean how well they play. Write down their name, number, and what position they should be playing." The twins nodded.
"Psst.Rachel. What's your number?" Fred asked laughing afterward.
"Weasley.." Oliver warned.
"Sir, yes sir." Fred saluted. Rachel laughed, then stopped after receiving a glare from Oliver.
"It would be for your benefit to silence yourself Miss Wood." Minerva McGonagall replied sternly.
