"RISE AND SHINE LOVER GIRL!" Felicity's eyes snapped open but all she could see was the white of Harry's shirt and the red and gold from his tie.
"I'm here!" She sat bolt up, she looked around making sure the voice was for her.
"I like your attitude Black." Felicity turned around to see Angelina standing with Ginny, Ron, Katie Bell, Alicia, and a kid that Felicity didn't know.
"Thanks...?" Felicity tried to stand but Harry's arms were wrapped firmly around her. She loosened his grip and stumbled to stand up. It was only then that she realized how sore and tired she was she also realized just how dark it was.
"Are you okay Felicity?" Ginny asked softly.
"Yeah, I'm okay..."
"What happened last night?" Ron asked hesitantly as if afraid to hear an answer.
"Harry tried to teach me how to play, and drilled me... Like how did he put it? Oh right like 'Oliver would have' " She quoted. Standing hurt and she could only imagine how it would feel to fly. "How did you not wake him?"
"I put a spell on him. Let's go come on time is of the essence." She clapped.
"It's still dark we've got time." The kid Felicity still didn't know spoke as they made their way out of the Common Room.
"I didn't have to chose you Clark! You could go to bed right now and I could wake someone else up!" She said in an overbearing tone.
"Yes ma'am." He nodded. This boy couldn't have been passed his third year, he was small if Felicity had to guess she would have said he was 4,8 he had light blonde hair that reminded her of Draco. He had hazel eye that seemed to lightly dance through the things he saw. He seemed frail, and breakable.
This will make for a wonderful team. Felicity thought, as they made their way out in to the cold wet night.
"Alright everyone take you brooms and let's start with simple warm ups." Angelina called out.
Felicity mounted her broom and she remembered how sore she was. The giant bruise from getting hit in the stomach with a bludger and quaffel didn't help either. She mounted anyway, and they all took whatever position Angelina told them to take.
"Alright guys you ready?" Felicity looked over at the little boy who seemed like he was going to vomit. "Let's start, Alicia, Katie Bell Start with Ron. Felicity and Clark block the bludgers. Ginny you... just watch for now."
Felicity saw Ginny nod rapidly before the training began. The bludgers were released and the quaffel was now in play.
It didn't take Felicity long to come to terms with the fact that she would have to carry the brunt of the work as a beater. She had to be quick and clean, making sure that no one would get hit with the damned bludgers. She even had to protect little Clark every now and then, who was just flying around in giant circles clutching to his broom for dear life.
"Ron come on! You can do better than that! Don't dodge it! Clark stop messing around and start helping Felicity! Felicity watch out!" At Angelina's words Felicity turned to see a bludger heading straight at her out of instinct she put the bat a few inches from her face and somehow managed to block it."Good job Felicity! Come on Ron Catch it! No Don't do that!" Angelina called out.
Felicity looked over and saw Clark vomit over one side of his broom.
"Oh god." She sighed, "It's a real sport get used to it or get out!" Felicity couldn't help shouting. wow I'm one to talk. Felicity thought as she resumed hitting bludgers. She was sure that at one point or another Clark would lose his jitters and start to help. No such luck, he continued to circle the field.
Even though the sun had come up Felicity could still feel the freezing cold air it had no effect on her only because she was burning hot underneath the quidditch gear. She saw Ron's teeth chattering, either from fear, or the cold Felicity didn't know. As the sun crept up in the sky, Felicity felt more and more fatigued, her soreness increasing and sweat droplets rolling down her face increased in numbers quickly.
"Alright come down everyone." Angelina called out. Everyone lowered down to the ground, when Felicity's feet touched the ground she was sure she would pass out and was astonished that she didn't. "Alright guys," Angelina started off pinching the bridge of her nose out of frustration." What was that?"
"Well I'll tell you Katie Bell and Alicia are not tired Ron. What do you think that means? You aren't making their job difficult. I counted and they made one hundred shots, and do you know how many of those they made? NINETY EIGHT! Ninety eight, that is just sad, one you caught and the other one hit you! I want to take a bat to your face!
" And Clark, you did great at the try outs for Keeper! Beater should be an easy position! But you left all of the work to Felicity! You almost let her get knocked right off her broom! Look at her! She's sweating bullets, out of breath, red faced, and looks like she's going to pass out! She shouldn't look this bad you need to step it up!"
"Ginny great job finding the snitch it took you a while but you did it, we just need to work on your time. Felicity great job running around the field like you did, I'm really pumped that you can manage a whole field like you did. Keep it up both of you, Katie Bell, Alicia I've seen better you started off normal, but then you seemed to dumb it down. Don't do that he'll never learn if we baby him. Alright let's go," Angelina picked up her things and led the girls to the changing room.
"You did fantastic Ginny." Felicity commended out of breath and out of energy.
"Thanks but we all know you did the best. You did a two person job all by yourself." Ginny blushed.
"Yeah but you did the hardest job " Felicity said with as much emotion as she could muster.
They entered the changing room, and Felicity took a shower even though she felt like she would never be able to wash off all the sweat. The steam from the shower made her head spin and she leaned against the wall for support. She was tired, sore, and her fresh sweat over what she had the previous night.
She turned off the shower wrapped herself in a towel and wasn't sure what had happened next.
