Quidditch
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm in!' Emmett yelled—and almost made a group of First years wet their pants.
'I knew you would like it. And for the rest of you? Want to have some fun?" Edward asked, as he looked at his family.
"Is Bella going to join?" Emmett asked with a wide grin.
I jerked my head up, and looked at Emmett with narrow eyes. He'd probably laugh himself to death if he saw me on a broom.
"Well, uhm, Bella you don't want to—right?' Edward said, and looked at me, 'I mean I want to keep you for a while—alive if possible.'
I tried to glare at him, but it didn't work that well. First of all it was Edward, I couldn't be mad at him. Second, he was right, I'd probably not survive it. "I'll just watch.' I said.
Edward looked relieved and he turned to the others again. "So Jasper and Alice you want to right?" he asked, already knowing they wanted too, and that Rosalie didn't.
"Yeah."Jasper said, 'It should be fun.'
"Great! I got four brooms already—the best of course.' Edward said enthusiastic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Why the long face Ron?" I asked when I walked next to him to the Quidditch field—the rest was already there.
"With those vampires showing up—' he said, and suddenly turned very red, 'I'm sorry I meant with the Cullen's showing up, I don't have much of a chance do I?' He said while he looked utmost miserable.
"No Ron don't say that.' I said, trying to find a way to cheer him up. 'I bet you're very good, and between you and me, I don't think that any of them seriously want to join. I don't even think that they would allow it. Wouldn't be exactly fair would it?'
'You think so?" Ron said hopeful.
"I know so. You're going to be great. Well I better go, I'll cheer for you!" I said cheerfully and ran to the bench where I would be sitting—and to my shock saw that Rosalie was sitting there.
"H-Hi.' I said, as I sat down next to her.
"Hi.' Was all she said, and then her eyes fixed of the image of Emmett, who was standing on the field with a broom that I feared would break in two if he would sit on it.
Before the tryout started there were a lot of confused faces looking at the Cullens who stood innocently with their brooms in their hands. Edward waved at me, and I waved back. Suddenly he was by my side, followed by the shrieks of almost everyone on the field.
"You're scaring them.' I said, when he came to sit next to me.
Edward just laughed, and gave me a kiss. "For luck.' He said.
I rolled my eyes, 'Like you would need it.'
"I do!" He said innocently.
Then someone blew a whistle, and everybody was mounding their brooms.
'That's my queue!' Edward said, and stood up.
'Edward!'I yelled before he would run off, 'Be nice won't you? Give the others a chance.'
He smiled my favorite smile and said, "I'll try.' before he flew off, on a way that looked like he had done this for years, when it was actually his very first time.
First they all just flew around, and a few who couldn't even do that right were sent back to the castle, or stayed to watch the rest. Everybody almost dropped of their brooms every time Edward, Emmett, Jasper or Alice came flying by. They were so fast, that you almost didn't see them.
Then it was time for everyone to try keeping. I kept watching with polite interest—it was amazing how they flew but still it was a sport and I didn't really like those—till it was Ron's turn. I saw to my relieve that he wasn't good, but not bad either. There were two kids before him and they were better, but Ron was sure better than the rest that had already made their turn.
When he was finished Ron landed with red ears and it was Alice's turn. Although she was a vampire, I saw that the girl named Katie Bell, had her doubts about her. The first ball she threw was an easy one—even I could see that, and Alice caught. it before the ball was fully out of her hands yet. Katie stared at her with an open mouth, and her second ball was the hardest I had seen till now—but of course Alice caught them, she caught them all. The same was for Jasper, and Emmett. And I saw that the captain of the team was near tears of joy—the others were near tears of sadness. There was no way that they would be keeper now.
Then it was Edwards turn. He was with no doubt the fastest player—ever. He was just a blur, when he went to catch the ball. I was surprised when Emmett and Jasper flew up, both a ball in their hands. I saw them talking to Katie, who then flew to the ground.
What then happened even amazed me. Have you ever seen three vampires play Quidditch? It's truly amazing. I had to strain my eyes to make out their figures, and finally they stopped—Edward hadn't missed a ball.
Emmett looked angry, probably because he couldn't win, and the ones closest by him quickly took a few steps away from him.
"my turn!" Alice yelled, when they landed. And I saw that Angelina wanted to object—there were other who wanted to fly—but decided not too.
Watching Edward and Alice play was—interesting. Alice saw every move of Edward in her head, and Edward read every thought of Alice.
It ended up with them just hanging there quietly, till Alice threw the ball—and scored! Emmett and Jasper clapped and yelled bellow, and Alice made a little victory dance on her broom.
I stood up, and walked over to them. "Good one Alice!" I said, when she ran over to me and hugged me in her joy.
I felt the eyes of nearly two dozen stares when I went to stand by the Cullen's. Their faces were a mix of admiration and fear.
After this little show, no one wanted to fly anymore, and after Edward, Jasper, Emmett and Alice all told Angelina that they didn't really wanted to join—it wouldn't be fair—she chose Ron, who couldn't believe his ears.
When we went back to the common room, I went to Ron to congratulate him—along with all the Gryffindors. Out of nowhere there were suddenly drinks, food and music, and a party was thrown.
I walked over to the Cullen's. They sat casually in the best chairs by the fire, looking like gods as usual. I blushed as I sat between Edward and Emmett, and tried not to think about how out of place I would look.
I enjoyed the party more that I usually would. One reason was that I wasn't in the spot light, so no one would notice if I would fell—what I did once..or twice. But Edward always cached me.
I noticed that Harry and Hermione already went to bed—harry looked concerned. I wondered why.
It was hours later, when all the food and drinks were gone, and we, the twins and three other people were the only one left, that I announced I'd go to bed.
"I'll meet you there.' Edward said, and sneaked out of the room.
I followed him with open eyes, as he climbed through the portrait hole. Surely he wouldn't climb all the way up the tower. Would he?
But as soon as I was in the girls dorm room, where everybody was fast asleep, I heard a noise outside, and when I walked to the window, Edward's head appeared before it, and almost made me scream. I covered my mouth in time with my hand however. And then quickly opened the window.
"are you crazy?" I hissed, when he climbed in.
"Come on Bella, it's just a few meter.'
"A few meter?' I said and was about to argue, when I felt his cool arms around me, and I immediately grew calm and closed my eyes as I breathed in his scent.
Edward lifted me up, and carried me to my bed, placing be beside him. He cuddled me, and threw a blanked over me so I wouldn't frieze next to him.
'Go to sleep.' He whispered in my ear.
"I don't want to.' I said and pouted. I wanted to stay up with him. I had seen him all day today, but hadn't had the time to really talk to him in private.
Edward however was stubborn and didn't want me to miss out on any sleep, so he began to sing my lullaby to me, so quiet that no one would hear.
'Edward.' I mumbled, as I tried to fight the sleep that came over me.
"hmm?"
"I love you.' I said, and hugged the arm that he had around me.
"I love you too.' He said, and after that I feel asleep.
