Here you go, the next chapter! Today, I have a new character, but other than her, Lacey, and the climactic plot structure, I own nothing. Nothing. Need it again? Good, didn't think so! Enjoy!
Saturday morning, I woke up restless, ready to go play Quidditch, and hopefully make the team, even if I was a first-year. I showered, put on Quidditch robes I was borrowing from a 3rd year, and pulled my hair into a low ponytail. When I was cleaned up and ready for try-outs, I walked into the commonroom, and began working on my homework I had gotten over the week.
After awhile, other Ravenclaws began waking up and walking into the commonroom. I finished the homework as I saw Lacey walk up to me out of the corner of my eye. "Hey!" she said, her normal perky self.
"Hey. Ugh, I wasn't able to sleep last night!" I replied.
"Don't worry, Rosie! Why don't we go and get some breakfast?"
"Sure, I guess that'll calm my nerves. I just really want to do better than Scorpius!" I stood up, and we walked out of the room, down the hall, and sat down at the Ravenclaw table in the Dining Hall. We both grabbed cereal, pumpkin juice, and bacon.
"Hey, Rosie!" Not knowing who it was, I jumped, and turned around.
"Oi, Al! I didn't realize that you were there!" I said, realizing that the person was Albus.
"Sorry! I was just wondering if you had decided to try out for the team, but I guess you are, considering you borrowed somebody's robes."
"Yeah, but I don't think I'll make the team. Are there any other people going for Chaser, besides Scorpius?"
"There's one person, who's a 2nd year, but he's not very good, so either you or Scorpius will make it. I've got to go find James. Mum sent me his letter instead of mine. Lily probably sent them."
"Okay, well, see you later!" With that, Al turned on his heels and walked towards James at the Gryffindor table.
"Well, then, I guess that it will really be either you or Malfoy." Lacey mused, while shoving a spoonful of cereal into her mouth.
After breakfast, Lacey and Albus wished me luck, and I walked out to the Quidditch field after getting my broom. We waited outside for a few minutes for everyone to get there, and the tryouts started, led by 6th year, Alexia Good. She had everyone practice some flying drills, ranging from super easy to really hard, even so I couldn't execute them perfectly. Afterwards, two 3rd years that were terrible flyers were eliminated. We then were separated into two teams, and started a game. Easily, I did my job for the team, just as I did at home while playing with my cousins. But Malfoy was pretty good, and I had a challenge on my hands. But just as I grabbed a Quaffle, only twenty minutes into the game, our team caught the Snitch, and the game ended.
"Good job!" Alexia said, as we all landed and walked across the pitch towards her. "I certainly have a lot to think about, and the list will be posted tonight, right after dinner. Well, see you later!" Alexia walked away, leaving a tired group of students.
I found Scorpius, and walked up to him. "Good job! Didn't think it would be such a challenge!"
"Me neither! But whatever happens, you were great." Coming from Scorpius, this was very suprising. He was much more of the jealous type.
"Thanks," I answered, brushing a stray hair out of my eye. "You know what?"
"What, Rose?"
"I have a feeling that the list won't be posted by tonight."
"Got that right! Alexia lies about everything! I mean, seriously, everything! A bit annoying, matter of fact."
"Exactly! When will she figure out that her whole life is a "little" white lie?"
"Don't know, but it will be terrible when that happens!" We reached the commonroom, and answered the riddle. I walked up to the girl's dormitory, and changed out of my Quidditch robes, into a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt. I was beginning to see Scorpius in a new light.
