I REDID THE FIRST CHAPTER BECAUSE MY GRAMMAR AND CONTINUITY SUCKED
"Yeah, what about Animagi?" I asked him. He stopped regretting saying anything. He laughed forcefully.
"Just kidding! I'm going to the library to get some books," his voice got quieter, "from the restricted section," he said, looking pleased with himself for his lie. I was about to say something, but I stopped. Myra and Anna seemed to believe him.
"Whatever," I said passively. I will find out what's going on.
"Guess what!" Anna hollered in the morning.
"What?" I said.
"Today is Quidditch try outs!"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" I screeched. After breakfast Anna and I raced back to the broom closet and grabbed our brooms. My broom was a black Nightstreak 3000 and Anna had a broom called the Blazerider. Both our brooms were the latest models. Anna's parents (even though they were muggles) knew how to get her the best wizard equipment. Together we walked out onto the Quidditch field. It's too bad Myra hates flying.
The team captain is Tom the keeper. I don't even know if Tom has a last name, everyone just knows him as Tom. If clarification to Tom is needed, then they will just introduce him as Tom the keeper. Tom has dark hair, dark skin, and dark eyes, but his smile is one of the brightest things you will ever see.
"Hi girls!" Said Tom. "Are you trying out for Quidditch?"
"Yes," We both replied.
"There aren't many people trying out." Anna observed.
"Yeah," Tom answered trying to be cheerful, but his eyes betrayed his worry. There were about seven people, including us. Tom had us all get into a line. Annabelle got to go first, but I was too nervous to watch her. There were only two people ahead of me. Soon it was my turn. I gripped my broom, palms sweating, but quickly calmed by the joy of flying. I was having so much fun that I was disappointed when it was time to stop.
"Wow! That was so good!" Anna said when I joined her once again.
"Me? You were amazing! Definitely more graceful than I was!" I complimented untruthfully. I have no idea how she did.
"Thanks," she replied blushing.
That night I waited until they had fallen asleep and quietly got up. I slipped out of the Gryffindor commons and into the darkness. I hurried towards the Ravenclaw tower. I looked back to make sure nobody was following me, but I didn't see anybody. I ran the rest of the way to the Ravenclaw tower and I waited. To no avail. I got there too late and I missed him. I slowly walked back to my dormitories with questions clouding my brain. Who was that boy? What was he doing?
"Guess what! Guess what!" Anna shouted as she was shaking me awake.
"What?" I moaned tiredly.
"Today we find out if we made the quidditch team!" She said in a singsong voice. How could I have forgotten?! I got ready hurriedly and was about to run to breakfast with Myra when I stopped. What if I didn't make the team?
"What is it?" Myra asked.
"Nothing," I answered. The day went by excruciatingly slow. When the school day was finally over we all piled into the Gryffindor commons. I had never felt so much excitement in one room, even those who didn't try out were on the edge of their seats. Annabelle grabbed my hand as Tom the Keeper started to read the list.
"I don't think I need to tell you who the keeper will be," he started out, earning many laughs, "The beaters are Fred Weasley and James Potter," Cheers went up throughout the room as my cousin and my brother stood up, "The seeker is Albus Potter," more cheering, "and the chasers are Charlie Thomson, Lily Potter," Annabelle squeezed my hand as I stood up, "and A-" He coughed. Annabelle started to stand, "Alexia Marcus!" He finished. The whole room erupted into a frenzy. My brothers grabbed me and lifted me onto their shoulders. Soon my vision was clouded by seemingly millions of Weasleys all congratulating me, Fred and my brothers.
"Potters! Potters! Potters!" A cheer rose up from the crowd. The craziness and partying lasted almost all night. Even the prefects weren't telling us to stop. When I finally went to bed it was close to dawn and when I awoke I was still high on euphoria. I sat up smiling gleefully. I turned to Anna in the bed next to me.
"Wasn't last night so fun?" I asked cheerfully.
"Yeah," she grumbled and turned over.
"Anna, I-"
"Just shut up Lily! You and your perfect family, all on the team. I bet you only got on the team because of your brothers. They felt bad for poor Lily Potter. The only reason anyone knows you exist is because of your dad!" She yelled and ran off. I just sat on my bunk, hot tears forming in my eyes. I thought she was my friend. Friends should be happy for one another. I would have been happy for her if I hadn't made the team and she had.
"That's not true," a voice spoke softly in my ear. It was my cousin Dominique. Dominique was a second year and the daughter of my aunt Fleur and uncle Bill. She had flowing strawberry blond hair that shimmered silvery in the light, perfect porcelain skin, and pale blue eyes. She was extraordinarily pretty, but I guess that comes with being part veela.
"It's not true Lily," she repeated, "You're great and if she can't see that than she has no business being your friend. Oh, and sorry for barging in here like this, but I heard shouting and…"
"It's okay," I told her, "thanks for caring."
"Anytime. Do you want to sit by me at mealtime today?" She asked kindly.
"Yeah I'd like that. I'd like it a lot." She smiled a radiant smile at me.
"See you later then!" She said happily. Annabelle must've convinced Myra that I was bad news and they both avoided me all day, so I sat with Dominique and her friends for the following lunch and dinner. At which I learned a lot about the new relationship developments between her seventh year sister, Victoire and Teddy Lupin. I dearly hope they get married, and if they do Teddy will be part of our family on paper. When I finally returned to my dormitories, after playing and beating Albus in a game of chess, Myra and Anna's stuff was gone.
Instead of being distraught about fake friends, I decided to try once again to find out what that boy had been up to. Once again I'd been too late and without a distraction I was starting to feel a bit sorry for myself.
I'm so sorry for not updating in such a long time, but I just get busy, ya know
