Chapter 7

It was Brook's first day of lessons at Hogwarts. She received her time table along with everyone else, she had; Advanced Transfiguration, Potions, Advanced Charms, Herbology, and Defense against the Dark Arts. She also had extra classes with Dumbledore and apparition classes every Saturday, her schedule were jam packed!

"I don't understand why I'm in advanced classes." informed Brook, to Hermione.

"Well it's because you're really good in those subjects, so they put you in the advanced class, unlike the subjects you're bad at that you just stay in the normal level." explained Hermione.

"Is she really that good Hermione?" asked Ron.

"Well you'll find out when you see her in class won't you," said Hermione, "and all thanks to me!" she added with a smile.

Brook and Hermione headed to Advanced Transfiguration, while Ron and Harry went to charms.

"I guess she's a lot more like Hermione than we thought!" said Harry.

"Yeah but A LOT prettier!" blushed Ron. Harry laughed at him, wondering if Ron still had his "crush" on Hermione or if he's changed his mind, and was falling for Brook.

The four of them met at Double potions next, and as they entered Professor Slughorn's classroom, they ran into Malfoy and his two goon's Crabbe and Goyle. Hermione accidentally tripped and bumped into Malfoy, which Malfoy did not take very lightly...as usual.

"Don't touch me you filthy Mudblood!" yelled Malfoy, then he glanced at Brook before walking off. They all took their seats and their books out of their book bags, then began to listen to Professor Slughorn.

"Welcome back everyone! We have some hard work ahead of us… now! You must be our new Student! Miss. Coles is it?" asked Professor Slughorn.

"Yes, Sir." answered Brook.

"Well, would you mind telling me and the class a bit about yourself?" asked Professor Slughorn.

"Uh, Okay," said Brook, "My name is Brook Coles, I'm muggle born, I enjoy reading, music, singing and playing my guitar, and hanging out with my friends." informed Brook to Professor Slughorn and the rest of the class, slightly embarrassed about the attention.

"Thank you Miss. Coles! That was very well said! 5 points to Griffindore for a well said speech on the spot!" gloated Slughorn, in his cheery –everything a student does is good- way. Slughorn began teaching his lesson; once again Hermione answering almost every question herself, since Brook was pretty poor at Potions, although she WAS better than Ron!

For their lesson, they all had to make a potion of their choice, but it had to be a legal one in their books, and then test it in front of the class a month later. After seeing the potions reaction, they had to write a 13 inch essay on it. Hermione started right away, while Brook, Harry and Ron looked through their books to find a suitable potion. Through the whole class, Brook noticed Malfoy casting mysterious glances her way. What is his PROBLEM? thought Brook, slightly annoyed. Every time she caught him looking at her he immediately turned away, not letting her catch him.

The next week they headed to the Great Hall for breakfast and it was followed by an unusual silence from the Slytherin table, and to the Gryffindore's dismay as soon as they got to the Griffindore table, a loud noise erupted saying; "Griffindore's Suck! Their teams made of muck! They all smell like a dirty duck!" It went on for about 5 minutes until Professor Bins came and got rid of it.

"I can't believe you haven't started Quidditch tryouts yet Harry!" lectured Ginny, "how're we supposed to get two new Chasers, and a new beater if you haven't scheduled time in the Quidditch pitch?"

"Well I will soon, but we just have so much homework…" stared Harry, until he noticed the determined look on his girlfriends face. "Alright I'll schedule tryouts for this Saturday! I'll put up a notice in the Common Room." said Harry giving in.

"So Brook are you gong to be trying out for the team? You played fairly well back home." asked Ron, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Yeah, I think I will be. I mean, it can't hurt to try, although I'm not that great at it, as all of you have been playing for years!" replied Brook enthusiastically.

"Great!" gloated Ron; not hiding his excitement very well. Hermione, who as we all know has never been very fascinated by Quidditch, was showing a hint of jealousy towards Brook, for her enthusiasm in the sport. It was obviously something Ron admired in her, and it caused Hermione to have second thoughts on whether Ron liked Brook or not.

Saturday come faster than you could say: Quidditch! Brook borrowed some old equipment and made her way to the Quidditch pitch. There were a lot of students trying out, which easily intimidated Brook, since she knew that she wasn't that great at the sport, and she definitely didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her fellow Gryffindore's. (There was also an unexpected "someone" behind the stands watching form afar. But she didn't notice this person yet.)

Brook had decided to tryout for Chaser, since it had a bit more excitement than beater. When it was her turn to tryout, she felt so alive the moment she flew up into the air, it was a special feeling. It was as if all her flaws were hidden, like she was queen of the sky! In the end she scored 4 out of 5 goals, due to her extra confidence, which wasn't too bad for that day since she'd only played a bit at the Weasley's. No one had gotten a perfect score that day, but there were plenty of other students who had gotten 4 goals out of 5, like herself.

After tryouts, she went into the Gryffindore change room and changed back into her Muggle clothes.

"Great job Brook!" complemented Ginny, "You played really well!"

"Thanks Gin!" thanked Brook.

Then Harry came over to her and extended his hand, then said, "Great Job! I'll let you know the results on Monday."

"Thanks so much Harry! I'm really grateful for the opportunity!" replied Brook.

On Monday Harry went up to Brook after Classes and told her the news. "Brook, I would like to congratulate you! You're one of our new Chasers!" explained Harry, in a cheery mood.

"OH MY GOSH! Really? Yay!" squealed Brook, excitedly. She jumped up and gave him an enormous hug, catching him off guard.

"Wow! I didn't know you'd be this happy!" laughed Harry.

"Well, it's Quidditch! Why wouldn't I be happy about making a QUIDDITCH team? I never thought I'd make it." laughed Brook excitedly.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. It IS a great honour, but you're not as bad as you thought, seeing as I chose you." said Harry, finally realizing how lucky he was. (Brook had that affect on people.)

"Well, our first match is against Slytherin in three weeks, so we'll be having some hard core practices. I hope you can keep up with us all, since it IS your first time playing a real game." explained Harry.

"Oh, I'll try my hardest Harry, and I'll try not to let you down!" said Brook truthfully.

It was close to game time, their match against Slytherin was in three days, and there was no more time to practice. Harry was getting worried and anxious sitting in Defense against the Dark Arts class that day, and he was getting tired of listening to Snape go on about nonsense!

"This is complete nonsense!" said Harry a little louder than he anticipated.

"Excuse me Potter? Did I just hear you correctly? Saying that my class is nonsense?" asked Snape forcefully.

"Uhhhhh…" responded Harry.

"Detention Potter! Saturday, one o'clock sharp!" snapped Snape.

"But sir, I've got Quidditch!" retorted Harry.

"Than you should have thought about that before you opened you big mouth Potter!" sneered Snape, with a smirk on his face.

"Great!" yelled Harry, leaving the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Harry! What are we gonna do without you? You're the Captain!" pointed out Ron.

"I dunno, but I might have an idea…"replied Harry.
