Damian poked me in the side.
"Hey!" I cried, shoving him back. We were mature, no worries.
We sat around the fire and continued chatting. After a couple of hours, Addie, Rose, and Char decided to go up to the dorm and Damian headed to his. I decided to stay down here and enjoy the roaring fire in front of me. The Quidditch team came in a few minutes later, looking quite exhausted. Every member except for one headed up to their dorms. He came directly towards me and sat down right next to me.
"Where. Were. You." His face was contorted in a rage I had never seen before, no matter how many times I had made him angry.
"Sitting right here, having a lovely chat with my mates." I smiled pleasantly. He raised an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah, I can see plenty of your mates sitting with you."
I scoffed.
"They went up to bed, you git."
His eyes were still flashing with anger.
"Why weren't you at practice?" He asked again.
"I'm done, Potter. Understood?"
"I'll give you one more chance, Davies. Yeah?"
"No. I'm done."
Potter looked conflicted.
"Fine. Then I guess I'll being holding tryouts for a new Chaser."
"Fine then."
"Okay."
"Okay." I rolled my eyes at this and lifted myself off the couch to head up to my dorm.
"Oh and Davies?" Potter called from behind me.
I turned around and faced him, "Yeah?"
"You're welcome to try out again." He smirked. My eyes turned to slits. As if he thinks I'm going to tryout. Bloody prick. I turned on my heel and headed up to bed to complain to my dorm mates.
The next morning, I walked down to breakfast with my dorm mates. Unfortunately, one of the first people I noticed was a boy with messy, dark hair. Not the best way to start my morning. I sat down in my spot and grabbed a roll, a spoonful of scrambled eggs, and some orange juice. My friends piled around me and started eating their breakfast as well.
"Wotcher, Celia." Damian said, ruffling my hair as he sat down beside me.
"Morn-morn-morning" I said, as a yawn escaped me.
Al and Scorpius walked up to our table.
"So I heard you quit the team, Celia." Scorpius said.
"Yeah, you heard right."
"Good then. Hear that, Al, the upcoming game is going to be an easy win."
"Oh fuck off, Malfoy." Sam hissed.
Scorpius smirked.
"Don't be rude, Scorp." Dom glared at him.
"Sorry cuz, it's just friendly rivalry. You know that."
"We'll be fine without Celia." Dom said sternly. "No offence or anything" she added, nodding to me.
I brushed it off.
"Not offended Dom. I want to see you guys do well without me."
"Sam, would you mind passing me the platter of bacon?" Addie asked.
"No problem Ads." He replied, handing it over to her.
I raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Char. Char was probably closest with Addie and had most likely figured out the underlying meaning behind Addie and Sam's exchanges before I had.
"Char, can I talk to you for a tick?"
"Yeah sure Celia." Char replied, smiling at me.
"SECRETS? I want in!" Dom looked between us.
"Sorry Dommie, we'll explain later."
"Fine." She pouted.
We walked away from the table just as Scorpius shoved his way in between Rose and Addie. I could already hear Rose and Scorp bickering over something.
"So Ads and Sam?" Char smiled, her eyes sparkling.
"Apparently." I grinned back. "I'm thinking an intervention with each of them."
"And if that doesn't work the old 'lock them in a broom closet and let their raging hormones take charge'?" Char added.
"Sounds good to me." I replied.
"We're great friends." Char proclaimed.
"That we are, dear Char, that we are." I agreed, linking arms with her and heading back into the Great Hall.
"SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY, I AM SO DONE WITH YOU." Rose shrieked loudly, as we approached.
"Rose. Rosie. C'mon, just listen to me, yeah?"
"NO. I'M DONE. YOU'RE RUDE AND INSOLENT AND RIDICULOUS. I'M DONE."
She slapped Scorpius clear across the face and bolted out of the Great Hall.
"I'll go after her." Dom said, starting to get up.
"No, I'll go." Scorpius said fiercely. He got up and ran quickly in the direction she had gone.
"Scorp, mate..." Al called after him but it was no use.
"Well, all we can do now is wait." Damian said.
"Wait for what?" A deep, male voice came from behind me. Cringing, I slowly turned around to see my ex-Quidditch captain and his two best mates.
"For Rose and Scorpius to get together." Addie said simply.
"Rosie and Malfoy are getting together? YAY! I always thought they were so perfect together. Oh this is so great. They are going to be so cute. Like babies!"
Ladies and gentlemen, Freddie Weasley.
Potter shot his cousin a glare, "Well Uncle Ron's going to flip when he finds out and I don't quite fancy the idea either. I don't care if he's your best mate, Al, I don't like him and never will."
"Sorry to tell you this, bro, but number one if Uncle Ron doesn't approve then that's too bad for him because everyone else will and number two it's not up to you."
"James, sorry to disagree with you but your brother's right." Mark broke in.
"Fine, whatever." He scowled. "Anyways I came over here before heading out to tell the lot on the Quidditch team that we're going to have a quick Quidditch practice at lunch so grab something from the Great Hall if you're hungry and then come to the pitch. As well, I'm holding tryouts for a chaser tonight right after dinner and I expect the whole team to be there."
"Aye aye Captain!" Dom exclaimed.
"Oh and of course, ex-Chasers are welcome at tryouts as well." Potter smirked at me. I shot him a glare. He nodded to Freddie and Mark and they headed out of the Great Hall.
