Hello readers! Welcome to the fourth chapter! Yay! Since we're officially dismissed for school for the summer break, we're now able to update as much as we can. For now we set up a update schedule. We decided every Thursday we would update. So expect an update on Thursdays ;)

Enjoy the chapter!

Tamara's POV

I walk into the DADA and go to sit beside Jennifer. Before I get a chance to talk to her, Professor Harris walks in.

"Hello class, for the next few weeks we will be learning about magical creatures. We're going to start off with Cornish Pixies. Does anyone know what they are?"

No one raises their hands, so Lewis hesitantly raises his. Professor Harris nods in his direction. "Cornish PIxies are small mischief makers who loves playing jokes and tricks."

"Very good. Cornish Pixies are small, about eight inches, but have incredible strength." Professor Harris starts.

"Who knew Lewis knew what Cornish Pixies are." Jennifer whispers when Professor Harris told us to start taking notes on them.

"Not really. He is pretty wise about animals and creatures of all kinds." I say.

"Yay! Cornish Pixies are blue!" Jennifer exclaims, pointing to a picture of one of them in the textbook. She loves blue.

"They kinda look like bats...with fairy wings." Colin comments. We laugh. They kinda do actually, except the legs kinda ruin it.

"Next class, we will get the chance to see them in person. Your task will be to try to keep them in control." Professor Harris assigns. "Easier said than done though, so make sure you do your research."

"They are eight inches in size! What harm can they do?" Jennifer questions.

"Pick you up by the ear and drop you on a tree or building. If you're in the hunt for free transportation. Then sure, no harm at all." I joke.

Jennifer immediately covers her ears with her hands. "But I like my ears...I like free transportation too though...what do I do?" I roll my eyes at her.

"See you at Quidditch tryouts Tamara." Lewis says with a smile, leaving the classroom.

"Yeah, see you." I call back, turning my attention back towards Jennifer, who is still clutching her ears, she widens her eyes.

"Quidditch tryouts are today? I thought they are tomorrow!"

"No...they're today. Does it matter?" I ask.

"Michelle said it was in two weeks though! Remember?" Jennifer states.

"That time with was a week and six days...remember...?" I say, Jennifer just sighs. "Why? What's the problem?"

"I kind of lent my broom to my brother..." she says, unwrapping one of her rice krispie sandwiches.

"Didn't I tell you to eat that once a day?" Natalie says, appearing. Jennifer's shoulders slump.

"But I need the energy! Since I don't have my broom..." Natalie rolls her eyes.

"Fine. Fine." Suddenly Luna, my snowy owl, comes flying in, with a letter. She hands it to Jennifer. I pet her head before she flies off.

Jennifer looks at the letter confused, turns it around in her hands. She opens it and begins to read it. When she reaches the bottom and scrunches it up in her hands and tosses it.

"What's wrong?" I ask. She ignores me, and starts to glares at her plate of food. Which rarely happens.

"Jennifer?"

"He broke it!" Jennifer exclaims, "That little annoying, destructive brother, broke my broom! Look at this!" She shoots up angrily and picked up the paper. She shoves it into my hands and plopped back down in her seat.

I read the letter. The writing was definitely her brother's, some of the letter are slightly higher than others. He just wrote 'To Sissy' and badly glued on two pictures. The glue is still pretty tacky. I look at the pictures. One is a picture of the broken broom and the other was of him. Sticking his lower lip out in a sad puppy face.

I raise my eyebrows, "Your brother knows how to use a camera?"

Jennifer angrily shakes her head in response, turning the parchment around. There was a picture of a broken camera.

"What's wrong with that guy! Does he have mental problems? I'm gonna kill him, once i get back." She makes a pouty face.

"But how..." I start, not knowing how to finish.

"Don't ask. Please." Jennifer cut me off.

"Okay..then." says Natalie. "So what do you want to do before the tryouts?"

"I need to go get a broom from the supply closet..." says Jennifer.

"Let's go find Michelle first." I say.

"Where do you think she is?" says Jennifer.

"She's in the library. She said she needed to do something." says Natalie.

"Oh, let's go then." I say.

The three of us walk down the hallway and into the library. The library is almost empty. I guess most people have already gone to sit in the stands or get ready to try out. Michelle is sitting at a table alone, writing something on a piece of parchment.

"Hey Michelle." says Jennifer. "What are you writing?"

"Oh just a letter to my parents." says Michelle. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for tryouts?"

"My brother broke my broom...and my camera...I need to get one from storage." says Jennifer.

"Oh, let's go then, I'm done." says Michelle.

We all walk to the storage closet and help Jennifer look for a broom. Most of the brooms are torn up and broken.

"Did you find one yet?" asks Jennifer.

"No." I say.

"This is going to take forever! Most of them are messed up!" sighs Jennifer.

"How about this one?" says Michelle, holding one up.

"Well, better than nothing." says Jennifer. "Let's go, we're almost late for your tryouts."

We walk to the side of the Quidditch pitch and stand where we're supposed to for each position. They announce that Gryffindor and Slytherin are trying out first. Michelle and I meet up with the rest of our friends in the arena.

Well, some of our friends anyway. Michelle and I walk up to Brian, Lilly and Lewis. Helda isn't a Quidditch player and Keith is apparently doing something. He should be here soon since the tryouts are about to begin.

Michelle looked pretty uncomfortable while we talk. She chats with Brian and Lilly, but not a word moves from her mouth towards Lewis. Same with him as well. She would constantly look around the arena, probably looking for Keith. We spot Natalie and Jennifer taking a seat in the stands with Joey, Zoey and Colin and shoot them a wave.

Keith decides to -finally on Michelle's behalf- show up. Her face immediately brightens up, I catch Lewis rolling his eyes silently.

"Chasers from both Slytherin and Gryffindor please step onto the field." says the announcer.

"That's for me," Brian says, "I'll see you guys later."

"Good luck." He walks off to line up with the others trying out for chasers in Gryffindor. I turn my attention back towards the others.

"Hold on, I'll be right back. I need to do something." Michelle says, jogging off quickly. Lewis doesn't seem to be paying attention, he's looking at the Chasers trying out. Keith follows a group of his group called 'Tanland Paradise'. Nothing more to say about that.

From a distance Melanie looks just like Michelle. Well, duh. They are freaking identical. But since you can't exactly catch the house colours on their robes, she looks like Michelle. The only way you can find out if probably their personality.

It came to be Melanie's turn.

She gets on her broom and flies up. One by one the Gryffindor and Slytherin captains call the Chasers over to start their tryout. Everything seems to be going well. Melanie flies up for her turn.

"First time trying out for Quidditch?" Lewis asked Lilly seeing she looks as nervous as ever. She nods silently, watching Melanie soar in the air. She's trying a new trick, probably trying to score some extra points from Zack. Not all that surprised though. It's Melanie we are talking about.

Lewis and Lilly continue to chat. Lewis giving her a few pointers for her tryout. Suddenly, Lilly widens her eyes and points, "Look out!"

Lewis turns around, Melanie landing head first into him. Slamming him to the ground. My hands instantly raise to my mouth, "Oh my gosh."

There was pure hatred in Lewis' eyes. Oh gosh, Lewis thinks it's Michelle. Melanie gets off of him and I offer help him up.

"Lewis~" I start, but his eyes are only on Melanie, who he thinks is Michelle. They are identical, and since Melanie is stupidly not wearing her Gryffindor scarf...yikes.

"What the heck is your problem?" Lewis spats at Melanie, who only yells, not yelled at. Apart from her sisters. She narrows her eyes at Lewis, anger mirroring his.

"My problem? It was your fault you were standing there!"

"Yeah, well excuse me for standing where I'm supposed to be!" Lewis shoots back. "Besides, it's your fault for trying to show off your 'moves' that you never mastered!"

I grab Lewis' arm, this is getting out of control. "Lewis~"

It happened so fast, Melanie swings her arm in the air. I don't even remember her raising it. She misses Lewis, hitting Lilly (who was behind him) across the face. Her face scrunches in pain.

"Lilly!" I cry, rushing to her side. I put a hand on her back looking at her. Her cheek is red from the punch. Her eyebrows knit together in pain. At this moment, Michelle rushes over. Keith hot on her trail.

Melanie doesn't even look concerned that she punched Lilly. She was still glaring at Lewis, as if she wants to swing another fist. This time at him.

"Melanie! What the Merlin did you do?" Michelle exclaimed, looking at Lilly worried.

"Congratulations Chang. I see your personality runs through the family. You're just lucky Milly didn't get contaminated." Lewis states.

Oh please don't bring Milly into this. This is already going overboard, doesn't have go farther. I look up in the stands, Natalie, Joey and Jennifer sit there shocked. Colin sat there with...is that popcorn? …..

Melanie springs towards Lewis, threatening to rip him to shreds. Lewis takes a step forward too. Lilly and I both reach over and grab an arm, holding him back. Michelle easily swings Melanie behind her. Scolding her.

"Lewis, just let it go..." Lilly says calmly. Lewis gapes at her.

"Let it go? She just punched you and she is a Gryffindor. She's a disgrace."

Michelle widens her eyes at her comment. "She is a disgrace? Have you seen yourself? If you think she is a disgrace, I don't think you would want to know what you are." She turns and walks off with Melanie and Keith by her side.

"I swear, if you weren't here, she would be walking off with a black eye." Lewis states as Lilly walks off for her tryout.

I raise my eyebrows, "Yeah, good to know." I say sarcastically.

I turn my attention back to Lilly, who is soaring gracefully around the arena. "She's a really good flyer." I state.

"Why are you friends with her anyway?" Lewis suddenly asks.

I look at him and roll my eyes, "I swear that's the ultimate question right now." I say, remembering how Jennifer asked Michelle the same about Keith.

"Seriously." Lewis continues.

"Well, why am I friends with you after everything you did with Michelle?" I challenge, watching Michelle swing her bat in the air.

"Because I have my reasons. I defend my beliefs and choices." He answers confidently.

I look back at Lewis again, "Same with Michelle."

"How's the cheek?" I ask Lilly in our dorm. Lilly looks up from the book she is reading for Transfiguration.

She smiles, "It's fine, nothing too big." I nod and go back to my own homework, when Lilly's giggle cut my concentration. I look at her confused.

"What's going on?" I ask, genuinely wanting to know.

A smile immediately flashes on Lilly's face, "Oh my gosh, did you see Lewis' face when Melanie punched me? Ahh..."

I arch a brow at her. "Let me get this straight." I say, turning to face her. "You just got punched in the face, and you were busy looking at his face?"

"Well...not exactly." Lilly replies.

"Wait, you like Lewis?" I ask. Lilly flushes. Oh gosh she does. I smile amusingly at her, "Wow Lilly, when did this start happening?"

"I'm not sure...it just...did." Lily replies simply.

I nod, turning back to my homework. I pick up my quill when Lilly interrupts, "Do you think he...you know. Likes me back?" she asks, eyes on me.

I shrug, "How would I know? You'll have to ask him." Lilly bites her lip, still looking at me.

"No, Lilly. I'm not playing Matchmaker. Not happening."

Lilly laughs, "Yeah, didn't think so."

Melanie and Milly walk into the dorm. Yeah, we share a dorm with them. Lucky us. Although, Milly is pretty nice. Total opposite of Melanie. Melanie's never too fond of us, she only really talks to Milly.

Melanie shoots a glare at Lilly before going to her side of the room. Glaring at Lewis is one thing, but Lilly? She didn't do anything. Lilly's the victim if anything. I shoot a glance at Lilly, she just smiles back reassuringly.

"Really? The popcorn?" I ask Collin later on.

Colin raise his arms in innocence. "What? I was hungry. Plus Jennifer won't share any of her rice krispie sandwiches. Popcorn was the only option!"

"Natalie makes the rice krispie sandwiches for me and only me! So hands off!" Jennifer exclaims.

Colin turns to me, "See what I mean?"

I roll my eyes, "She does make magic. Literally."

"You should ask her to make you some." Jennifer says in between bites.

Colin shakes his head, "Nah, I'm sure she's already too occupied to make you some."

Jennifer tilts her head to the side, "Oh true..."

Brian comes up and looks at Jennifer weirdly. "What are you..." he asks, pointing to the rice krispie sandwich. Dang, they seriously need a shorter name. I'll have to talk to Natalie about that.

"Mine!" She exclaims, directing her snack away from Brian. Who just looks at her even weirder.

"Don't mind her." I say. "She takes her snack very seriously. You would be best not to interfere."

Jennifer looks at him, almost glaring, "Yeah...don't you dare..."

"Uh...Okay..." Brian says unsure.

"I honestly don't know why she likes it so much. It's way too sweet, pretty much eating spoons of sugar." Bianca says.

Oh bad idea. Jennifer shoots a glare at Bianca. "In my opinion." she quickly adds.

"So when's the next DC session?" Brian asks.

"Today after classes." Colin says.

"Well, unless it's cancelled. But not likely since I saw her in the halls today." I offer. On the other hand, Professor Warrington is hard to predict, not like any of the other teachers are though.

"So, I guess we should get to the afternoon classes." I say. "See you at the DC."

I walk in and find Jennifer, Natalie and Michelle.

"Hey," I say.

"Hi." says Natalie.

"What do you think we're going to learn today?" asks Michelle.

"I hope we learn something, all we've done is dueling with what we already know." says Jennifer.

Then Brian, Keith, Lewis, Joey and Collin walk over to where we're standing, Keith and Lewis trying to walk as far away from each other as possible.

"Hi." says Joey.

"Hello." says Natalie.

"What do you think we'll learn?" asks Brian.

"I don't know, maybe a new spell or something." says Lewis.

"Or we'll just duel each other again." says Collin.

I then hear someone clear their throat. I look up to the podium and see Professor Warrington standing there.

"Welcome again to another DC meeting. I hope you are all ready to learn today as I will be teaching everyone a couple of spells." says Professor Warrington.

I hope it's something new for me. I need to learn some more spells.

"Everyone partner up please." says Professor Warrington.

I partner up with Natalie, Jennifer with Michelle. As I stand in position I notice that Wilma has partnered up with Melanie. Weird, she always partner's up with Milly and why would Wilma partner up with Melanie? Melanie would never partner off with anyone other than her sisters.

"Everyone's partnered up? Good. Now the first spell I will be teaching you is the tickling charm. The incantation is Rictusempra. Everyone please try on their partners." says Professor Warrington.

The tickling spell? How are we supposed to defend ourselves with that? I use it but what good would it do on a Death Eater? By the look on Natalie's face I can tell she agrees with me. I go first anyway.

"Rictusempra." I say and Natalie starts laughing. "Finite."

"Thanks, Rictusempra." says Natalie.

I just stand there. It hasn't done anything at all.

"I'm strangely immune to most tickling." I say half laughing. "It's strange really."

"Oh, then I guess it won't work. Why are we even doing this? This would almost not help at all in a duel." says Natalie.

"Yeah..." I say.

"Well, I assume everyone has mastered the spell. Now we will be learning the Aguamenti Charm. The incantation is Aguamenti as the name of this spell suggests. Please try now." says Professor Warrington.

Another useless charm? That doesn't do anything at all unless you mispronounce it or you put them in the same room as pink cupcakes. Why is Professor Warrington teaching us all this? This time Natalie goes first.

"Aguamenti." says Natalie as water splashes on me.

"Sicca." I say pointing my wand at my robes as they dry. "Aguamenti."

Natalie drys her robes as well.

"Well, that's enough for today. Don't want to overwhelm you. I know it hasn't been a long meeting but you need your rest. See you around in classes." says Professor Warrington and then rushes off to her room. Why is she in such a hurry? And overwhelm us? We all already knew those spells. Even the first years probably know. I walk over to Michelle and Jennifer with Natalie. We start to walk out of the Great Hall.

"Well that was a bad meeting." says Michelle.

"Yeah, we didn't learn anything at all." says Jennifer.

"And all the spells are useless in a duel." I say. Something is off about the DC. I mean really? Aguamenti? Maybe it's just an off day for Professor Warrington. We'll see. I just can't help but shake off this weird feeling.

"I don't get why Professor Warrington found the need to teach us that." says Natalie.

"It's like she doesn't want us to learn anything." says Michelle.

"Why would she do that?" asks Jennifer.

"Stop us from becoming better duelers?" says Natalie.

"Maybe." I say. "Did you notice that Melanie partnered up with Wilma?"

"Yeah, I wonder why." says Michelle. "My sister always partners up with Milly."

"I still can't think of a reason for it." says Jennifer. Or maybe we are completely overlooking this. We barely know her, it's too early to judge her. Right?

"She's been avoiding me lately. After the locket incident she has hardly spoken to me at all." says Natalie.

"I wonder what's her connection to the boy in the locket." I wonder out loud.

"Yeah, she freaked out when I told her I accidentally saw it." says Natalie. "I hope she speaks to me soon. I don't want to lose a friend because of that." She freaked out? The boy in the locket must be someone important to her than. Otherwise she would have just brushed the accident away.

"Yeah," says Michelle.

"Hey, the Quidditch team list has been posted." says Jennifer. We all walk up to the parchment posted on the wall. Trying to look over the many shoulders wanting to see who made the team as well.

"Yay! All of us made it to the starters!" Jennifer exclaims.

"Melanie's not going to be happy...she didn't make it." says Michelle. Then all of us heard a scream of rage. We turned to the source of the ear-piercing scream. It is Melanie who was glaring at the list angrily while Milly is at her side, trying to calm her down.

"There has to be some mistake! I'm really good. How could I not make it! This is all Zhou's fault!" She screeched. She watches Lewis walk past and pushes him to the ground.

"I didn't make it and it's all your fault Zhou!" Melanie accused. A look of rage appeared on Lewis's face. "What? How is that my fault, Chang! You're just like your sister Michelle! You guys always blame it on other people when it is YOUR doing!" He argued. Michelle looks offended. I immediately walk over there, Michelle, Natalie and Jennifer following and try to (like always) break up the fight.

"Lewis, calm down. She's just upset that she didn't make it that's all." I try to intervene. Melanie scoffs and rolls her eyes. "I should have made it, if it wasn't for Zhou here, getting in the way!" She gives him a look of disgust. He steps closer to Melanie, looking a bit intimidating and outraged. I quickly grab Lewis's arm and try to pull it back, away from Melanie.

Michelle and Milly immediately blocks Melanie away from Lewis while I try to pull him back. They're both struggling against out hold.

"Come on, Mel. It's just a tryout. Practice more and you'll get in next year." Michelle says, sounding a little desperate.

"Thats easy for you to say! You got in!" Melanie yells at Michelle while pushing her away.

"That's because I practiced a lot Mel. Please calm down." Michelle answers.

"Come on Lewis. Let's get away from her, alright?" I offer while still trying to pull him away, with Jennifer's help.

"I'll calm down when HE apologizes!" yells Melanie.

"APOLOGIZE? TO YOU? NEVER!" exclaims Lewis. I saw Melanie raising her arm up again and the next thing I saw was Michelle on the ground clutching her face. Everyone looks at the Chang sisters in shock. I hear someone behind me, pushing everyone out of his way and into the clearing where Michelle is. It was Keith.

"Michelle! Are you okay?" He crouches down to her level, looking concerned. She looks up at him. Her cheek was swelling, it must have been the place where Melanie struck her. Blood was coming out of her mouth a little bit. Melanie and Milly immediately goes to Michelle's side.

"Oh my Merlin, Mich! I'm so sorry! I meant to hit that jerk!" Melanie apologizes while actually looking very apologetic.

"See where that got you! You hit your sister!" yells Lewis.

"Well, that was meant for you!" yells Melanie helping Michelle up. "Let's go and away from this jerk." Keith takes out a pack of tissue from his robes pocket. He takes out a tissue. Then Keith walks up to Michelle and wiped the blood on her face gently. Michelle's face began turning red like a cherry, he looks like he didn't notice it. Everyone starts to whisper about it, while the Tanmirers are glaring at Michelle in jealousy with murder in their eyes.

"There. Now you look better. Let's get you to the courtyard to see if we can do anything about your cheek. It's not serious enough for you to go to Madame Pomfrey." Keith says while throwin away the dirty tissue to a nearby trashcan. There was a bit of jealousy showing on Melanie's face. But it immediately gets replaced with worry. She sees that everyone was staring at them.

"What are you looking at? There's nothing to see here! Go away!" Melanie barks at everyone. The crowd immediately scatters away from them and went off to do their own business. "Now come on Michi." Melanie smiles and grabs Michelle's and Milly's hand. They walked off in the direction of the Gryffindor tower, with Keith in tow.

Lewis who was watching the scene quietly, turns to us. "Why did Michelle take the hit for me?" He asks. I sigh.

"It was because she didn't want Melanie to cause unnecessary trouble." Jennifer answers. Natalie and I nod in agreement.

"So basically she did that for her own benefit." Lewis says nonchalantly. My eyes widen in surprise.

"As I told you many times, not all Slytherins are like what you think Lewis." I say angrily to him. He puts up his hands in defense. "Alright, alright. But what happened today won't change how I think about them." He says, with contempt and hate when he said the word, them. Then he walks off in the direction of the library.

"I wonder what's his problem." Jennifer says once he's out of hearing range. Natalie and I shrug our shoulders.

"Hopefully he got something out of that." I say. I hear a beeping sound from my watch. I look at it to see what's the time.

"Come on. We need to finish our homework."

Well this is the end of chapter 4! Hope you guys enjoyed (:
