Hey guysssss! I know it's been a while. Thanks a million to all of you who took the time to review. It means so so so much.

...
"A friendlies match." fumed Dominique, "might as well call it a chance for Al and Scorp to show off."
Rose smiled as she pulled on her seeker gloves.
Lily yawned.
"I'm so tired." she murmured, "I was up all night writing to Toby. He loves it when I write."
"I suspect he likes an owl delivering his letter more than he likes the actual letter." muttered Dominique fiercely pulling her silvery hair into a ponytail, "muggle boys."
Lily rolled her eyes at Dominique.
"Ok so Rose." said Dominique, "you have to catch the snitch this time. Just like we practiced all week. Jeremy will block Scorp and you will get the snitch. Piece of cake."
"Sure it is." muttered Rose sarcastically.
"Lily do you need some caffeine?" barked Dominique startling Lily.
"Gee I dont know Dom," she replied dryly, "I think I might fall asleep with the quaffle."
Dominique rolled her eyes and walked away.
"See you in the pitch." she called as she left.
"She's so sweet tempered when it comes to quidditch." said Lily grinning.
"Can't blame her," sighed Rose, "Slytherin's been winning the past four years. To top it off Scorpius and Al are the biggest gloaters."
"Bullshit." muttered Lily,"She needs a boyfriend. Someone to keep her goofy all the time. Someone to loosen her up. It worked for you."
"Hey!" cried Rose widening her eyes.
Lily giggled.
"Hey." Jeremy said as he walked in followed by his fellow beater.
"Ready for the friendlies?" asked Rose smiling at Jeremy.
"I'll be anything but friendly today." snorted Jeremy rolling his eyes, "Dom's given me strict orders to break Scorpius's bones."
Rose frowned.
"You're supposed to block him," said Rose gently, "Not actually hit him."
"Even though he's a bighead." added Lily.
Jeremy didn't say anything, he just smiled tightly. There was an awkward silence in the room until Dominique used Ella Jordan's microphone to scream for her team mates.
...
"Potter don't you look amazing today." said Scorpius smirking at Lily as he zoomed by her.
Lily rolled her eyes blushing. Up until a year ago she had a crush on Scorpius and James and Al had made sure Scorpius knew of it.
"Comeon Gryffindor chasers." shouted Al from the goal posts , "I'm getting rather lonely here. Lily give your old brother a little company."
Down in the stands, several girls giggled.
"Eat slugs, Al." yelled Lily stealing the quaffle from a Slytherin chaser.
Rose looked around her eyes alert. No sign of the snitch yet.
Scorpius zoomed past her and did a rather riskier version of the Wonkskei Feint.
The girls in the stands screamed with excitement.
Scorpius glanced back at Rose and grinned cockily. Rose rolled her eyes.
"Such a dick." muttered Jeremy flying up to Rose his bat swinging menacingly.
"Jeremy!" screamed Dominique, "hanky panky later! Go beat and stop distracting my seeker."
Jeremy scowled at Scorpius who took it in with an amused smile before he flew away.
Rose had a small smile as well.
Suddenly something golden zipped away in front of her eyes.
The golden snitch was released.
She zoomed after it. Scorpius had seen it as well and was pursuing it as well. Scorpius Malfoy had a secret which he refused to tell anyone which apparently increased his speed.
"It's all in the posture." he would say.
Rose had on many occasions tried to mimic his posture but it never helped.
Now he was gaining in on the snitch.
Twack! Came the noise of the beaters' bat. One of the bludgers zoomed towards Scorpius and towards Rose by default since they were both parallel.
"Swerve Red!" called Scorpius as she angled his broom away to avoid being hit.
Rose swerved as well then frowned. Ever since the day Rose had cried during patrol, Scorpius had been noticeably nicer to her.
He wasn't standing there with cookies or anything, but it was small things like smiling at her in the hallways, or passing her an ingredient she needed in potions. Maybe his guilt was making him do it but whatever it was, it was very new to Rose coming from Scorpius.
They had lost the snitch.
Rose flew near the goal posts to take in the whole field.
Everything else she had gotten from her mother. Her personality traits, her brains, her nose, lips, height, etc. Except for three things- her eyes, her hair and her spirit for quidditch.
These were the three things she's gotten from her dad.
"You're welcome." said Scorpius grinning at her.
Just then Jeremy zoomed past Scorpius taking care to bump into him.
Rose gasped as Scorpius slid off his broom.
But he was quick to grab on with one hand. Swiftly he swung himself back on. He wasn't smiling any longer. Irritation flashed across his face as he glared at Jeremy.
Rose wanted to ask Jeremy to lighten up a little but before she could she saw Scorpius zooming past her clearing in pursuit of the snitch.
She followed.
"Comeon!" she urged her broom to catch up to Scorpius.
Thud! The bludger collided with Scorpius's shoulders.
Everything seemed to slow down. Scorpius's broom somersaulted in the air and he started falling.
The audience screamed. Albus was shouting something. The noises all seemed muffled to Rose. She met Jeremy's eyes who had a sour look on his face and a broken beaters bat.
Rose raced to the ground where Scorpius lay surrounded by everyone. Someone had slowed his descent.
"Oh that bloody wanker." groaned Scorpius in pain, "I'll kill him."
"Get madam Delaney." shouted Albus.
Dominique landed next to Rose.
"What the hell, Dom." spat Albus, " atleast train your players to play fairly."
Dominique looked very pale.
"I'm so sorry Scorp." mumbled Dom.
Madam Delaney walked in with a stretcher floating beside her.
"Tsk tsk," she said, "If I were headmistress, I would ban this sport."
Jeremy landed beside Rose and grabbed her hand.
"Such an attention seeker." he muttered, "Let's go Rose."
Rose turned back to Jeremy incredulous.
"You really hurt him." she said, "aren't you going to atleast see him to the hospital wing or apologize?"
Jeremy's eyes narrowed.
"The hell I am." he replied not bothering to keep his voice down, "He will get fixed in moments."
"You wait! I'm going to feed you your damn beater's bat." said Scorpius as they lifted him onto the stretcher.
Jeremy glared at him as they levitated the stretcher into the castle, a small crowd which grew bigger followed them.
"What are you waiting for?" asked Jeremy annoyed at Rose, "Let's go."
Rose bit her lips.
"I'm going to go check on Scorp." she said softly.
"Whatever." scoffed Jeremy walking away.
Slowly Rose walked back to the castle alone.
...
Soooo that was it for this time. Thanks for reading! Please leave a review. ^_^
