The next morning I was up early with Quinn so we had both braided our hair and were in the common room when I excused myself to go wake Al. I crept up the stair well Al was sleeping next to Leo and McLaggen. His shaggy hair a strewn across the pillow his glasses on the night stand. I shook his arm… " Al c'mon breakfast time!" I whispered not willing to talk in a regular volume on chance that McLaggen may wake up. "Umm.. Grandma Molly's making Grindylow-berry pancakes" and with that his eyes shot open as he leapt outta, bed and got dressed then realizing where he was he scowled at me. I shrugged " I needed to get you up it was the only way I could think of." he smiled, Albus just couldn't stay mad. "C'mon" I dragged him down to the common room where Quinn was waiting.

He glanced between us and whispered," Awwwh did you guys coordinate your hair styles!" I smacked him on the arm. Quinn smacked him a wee harder. Once we were in the great hall we all sat down with James as Teddy and Victoire walked in together. "How was your first night Rosie… Al?" James asked. We gave him a thumbs-up.

"Guys this is Quinn, Seamus' daughter." They all said hi. "Quinn this git is James, you already know Al, this is my God-cousin/ big brother I never had Teddy Lupin, and finally his girlfriend and my cousin Victoire."

"I'm hurt!" James sniffled sarcasm in his voice. "Well at least I'm a handsome git Rosie." James said I rolled my eyes.

"Shut it!" I laughed as Leo sat down next to us and McLaggen next to me.

"Hi Rosie…" McLaggen said to me as soon as he saw me smiling, "you look great!" and then his eyes got big and he blushed.

" Er- thanks" I said uncomfortably blushing as well, my eyes well aware of James' twitching lips as if he would break out into laughter at any moment; I shot him a death glare.

"So Rosie are ya' gonna' try out for Quidditch I know your only a first year but ya take after Uncle Harry after all he did teach you, and you would make one mean seeker 'sides Gryffindor hasn't had a girl seeker in over a century?" Teddy crowed he was after all Captain.

"You really think so?" I asked uncertain.

It was Albus who answered, "Course Rosie your brilliant on a broom those bloody Slytherins wouldn't stand a chance with James, Teddy, and YOU on a team!" Al explained.

"You should try Rose" Quinn encouraged the others nodding.

"Oh okay I will when's tryouts Teddy?" I wondered.

"Next period but I already excused you from class. Don't worry Professor Longbottom didn't mind he wishes you good luck!" he grinned sheepishly.

I stared dumbfounded, "What? What if I had said no?" I yelled exasperated.

"Oh I knew you would say yes…" he smiled mischievously.

"Theodore Remus Lupin what are we going to do with you?" I scolded pretending to be upset.

He caught on, " I don't know!" he laughed as we all joined in.

"C'mon Rosie, James we better head out to the field see ya guys!" we all said our good byes. James and Teddy put their arms around me as we walked.

"Rosie" James said in a very Un-James tone, "Don't be sad if you don't make it you are only a first year okay Rosie?" he said looking at me as if I was as much of a little sister as Lily I smiled and hugged him.

"Don't worry James I'll be fine even if I don't make it!" I assured him.

He nodded and grinned "Ryan Redley better watch out there's a new seeker in Hogwarts!" Merlin's pants! I had forgotten about Ryan he was a 5th year not to mention former seeker I didn't have a chance! Teddy noticed my worried expression and nudged me.

"Don't worry kiddo you'll do great!" he said with such conviction it was hard to doubt him.

" Okay," I drew in a deep breath and headed towards the girl's changing room to put on my pads.

As I walked in I noticed plenty of girls only a slim few did I know but they all smiled and wished me luck even Ryan. Once I got out I collected Uncle Harry's old Nimbus and entered the field. The large field seemed to stretch on forever each seating tower just as grand as the last one the freshly polished rings in place. I had never seen anything, other than the castle itself, more beautiful…

"All right every one let's get started!" Teddy bellowed his voice filled with authority. Each groups went off to try-out leaving the seekers for last it was only me and Ryan. Once everyone, even James had left, Teddy started us we were to try and catch a snitch whoever caught it the most in the given amount of time would be seeker. He separated us so we didn't know what each other's scores were. When I was on the broom I felt like I was flying by myself I forgot the broom was even there as I whizzed through the air I caught it 3 times in 20 minutes. Teddy told me I did great and that the list would be posted tomorrow.

That night I went straight to bed snuggling under the maroon covers with Quinn, Leo, Albus, and even McLaggen encouraging me in the common room.

The next morning when I woke up the first thing I saw was McCormac's tuft of sandy brown hair. Looking around I realized I must of fell asleep in his arms. As I looked about he woke up too.

"Hey sleepyhead… How d'ya sleep?" He smiled sleep in his eyes.

"Great.. Sorry you should of woken me up!" I apologized embarrassed.

He chuckled, "It's okay you looked so peaceful and you were so worried that I didn't want to wake you."

"McLaggen-"

"Call me Daniel, Rosie" he corrected me.

"Daniel, thank you that was very kind of you." I leapt off the couch, "C'mon they probably already posted the list!" I dragged Daniel off the couch too and we trudged into the hallway where a list covered a painting with now irritated opera singers.

Here's the list:

Captain/keeper: Theodore "Teddy" Lupin

Chasers:

James Potter

Thomas Cade

Jasper Wetherall

Katie Contraire

Beaters:

Anna Bullstrang

Aiden Bullstrang

Seeker:

Rose "Rosie" Weasley

CONGRATS EVERYONE!

- Teddy Lupin

I screamed and jumped into Daniel's waiting arms, "I can't believe it!" I repeated out loud.

"I knew you could do it Rosie I knew it! I'll come to all your games I promise!" he swore.

I giggled "I'm sure you will c'mon we gotta' get some breakfast before Herbology with Professor Longbottom." We quickly walked down to the great hall and joined the others at the table.

"Great Job" crowed Leo. "Knew you could do it Rosie!" chimed in Quinn. "No surprise here Rosie your parents will be so proud!" added Albus. James just winked. While Victoire recited in perfect French, "Good Work Rosie Je savais que tu pouvais le faire!" (I knew enough french to know that she had said, Good Work Rosie I knew you could do it!)I smiled and thanked them all as I finished my cinnamon bun and headed off to Herbology with Quinn, Daniel, and Albus.

Professor Longbottom congratulated me when I got in, " You remind me of Harry, Rose with flying like that!" I thanked him and sat down. Across my Falapian Bean plant ( a purple leaved plant that produces the Falapian bean a key ingredient in any hair growing potion) A boy with hair so pale blonde that it was practically white stared at me with piercing blue eyes, Scorpio Malfoy. I shook off his gaze and turned back to McLaggen who returned Scorpio with a glare just as fierce as Scorpio's ice-cold stare. And for a reason I couldn't explain the Sorting hat's words popped into my head, … But your heart will lie in more…
