Harry and I headed back down to the ground and we saw McGonagall approaching us. We looked at each other and gulped. We were dead!
McGonagall had a quick word with Madam Hooch, who seemed happy about what McGonagall had said, before approaching us.
'Potter! Weasley! Follow me!' Harry and I looked at Ron, who shrugged at us. We gulped once more before following McGonagall into the castle.
We followed her to the Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA) classroom and watched curiously as she headed in and came out with a boy. She smiled and looked between us and the boy.
'Oliver, I have found you a seeker,' McGonagall paused and pointed to me. Oliver nodded and she continued, 'And a keeper!' Oliver looked between Harry and me with a big grin on his face.
Suddenly we found ourselves heading towards the Quidditch Pitch. Our flying lesson appeared to be over but Oliver headed to the shed and brought out a case.
He opened it and Harry and I looked at the three balls inside with slight looks of confusion upon our faces. Oliver chuckled and picked up the big red ball. He gave it to Harry.
'This is the ball that you will be given the job of stopping from getting through those hoops up the end there.' Oliver pointed to the hoops up both ends of the pitch and Harry nodded in understanding.
'By the way, Who are you?' He asked, looking at Harry curiously. 'My name is Harry Potter and this it my…uh…' Harry paused and looked at me, 'really good friend Taylor Weasley!' Oliver smiled at me. 'Fred and George are our spectacular beaters...do you know them?'
I nodded. 'They are my prankster cousins!' Oliver nodded and I noticed a small smile appear. He turned back to the case of balls. 'Aren't you going to qap at me and stare at my scar?' Oliver turned back to Harry and took the big red ball from him.
'Of course not! You're just a boy, whose parents were killed by the Dark Lord and you survived the Killing Curse. What's so good about that?' Harry looked at Oliver in astonishment as Oliver put the ball away.
'By the way, that ball is called the Quaffle.' Harry nodded as Oliver turned back to the case. I leaned forward to see Oliver releasing a ball that was shaking.
Suddenly the ball flew out and Oliver handed both Harry and me a bat. We watched as the ball came back and Harry swung the bat and hit it. Oliver and I watched it come back and he wrestled it to the ground.
He managed to get it locked back in the case and then turned back to me. 'Now that was a Bludger. Be careful of them. Oh and nice hit Harry! You'd make a fair beater.' Harry and I nodded and once again Oliver turned back to the case.
He opened a little compartment and pulled out a little gold ball, which sprouted wings. 'This,' Oliver said, turning to me, 'is the Golden Snitch. It is the most important part of the game! The Seeker has to catch the Snitch to end the game.'
I felt important and when Oliver released the Snitch, it flew so fast that I could barely see it.
'The first practice,' Oliver started to say as he managed to grab the Snitch, 'will be on Monday at 7 o'clock.' Harry and I nodded as Oliver put the Snitch away and picked up the case.
'I hope to see you then!' Oliver said, as he walked off to the shed. Harry and I grinned at each other and ran off to tell Ron and Draco the good news.
After their flying lesson, Ron and Draco both headed for their next lesson, Charms.
Not intentionally, they bumped into each other and realised who they bumped into.
Ron glared at Draco as he stood up. 'Why did you kiss Taylor back?' Draco also got up and smirked a little. 'If you must know Weasel, it was because I like her!'
As Ron heard this, he fell down again in shock. 'But...you and she...Gryffindor...and you're a pure...blood.' Draco looked at Ron's reaction and shook his head. 'Are you telling me that she is not a pureblood?' Ron managed to nod.
'Is she a half-blood?' Again Ron nodded. Draco gaped at Ron and managed to sit down against the wall before he fell. 'That's not going to stop me from liking her. I fell for her, her sharp tongue, her beautiful and not her blood status.'
Ron seemed to understand and realised there was no point fighting back. As he got up, he looked down the hall to see Harry and myself heading towards them.
I looked at Draco leaning against the wall and Ron getting up. 'What the heck happened here?!' Ron blushed. 'Uh nothing. Draco found out you are a half-blood and said that won't stop him from lik-' Draco leapt up and clamped his hand over Ron's mouth. 'And Ron got a little overprotective!' I giggled and looked curiously at Draco's hand over Ron's mouth. What was he going to say?
'Well Harry and I have good news of our own!' Draco removed his hand from Ron's mouth and looked between me and Harry, before clamping his hand over his mouth and gasping. 'Are you guys engaged?' He asked sarcastically as Harry burst out laughing. I shook my head.
'No you idiot! Harry and I made the Gryffindor Quidditch Team!' Ron stared at me and then walked up to me. 'That's awesome Tay!' I grinned and he hugged me.
Draco walked over. Ron had started to talk to Harry, so he pulled me aside. 'I'm so proud of you Tay.' He said as I smiled and blushed.
'Your smile is so beautiful!' I blushed again and Draco took a step closer to me. 'Your blush is so beautiful too!' By then I had given up trying to hide my blushing.
I looked into Draco's eyes and he leaned forward. 'You know Tay, your beginning to grow on me!' He whispered and I blushed again. He pulled away from my ear and instead leaned so close that I could feel him breathing on me.
I was about to kiss him when..'Get a room you two!' floated through the corridors. I groaned and Draco pulled away and I saw my cousins Fred and George with another boy. Fred grinned at me and I rolled my eyes. He then leaned over to the boy and whispered something.
George looked over at me. 'This,' He said, motioning to the boy, 'is Lee Jordan.' I nodded and turned to Lee. 'Nice to meet you Lee!' He smiled and replied with 'Same.' Lee then looked further down the corridor and a look of horror appeared on his face. I turned just in time to see McGonagall running down the corridor.
I took one look at Draco before sprinting down the corridor with all the others. Fred and George pulled Harry, Ron and I into a hiding place and then I realised that Draco was still outside. I let myself out, ignoring the boy's protests.
I looked frantically down the corridor to see McGonagall about 100 metres from me. I looked the other way to see Draco turning the corner. I gulped and broke into a run. I sprinted down the corridor and turned the corner. Draco was sprawled out on the floor and I gasped, running up to him.
I came to his side and saw a wound on his head. He was out cold. I heard McGonagall getting closer and I frantically looked around for somewhere to hide. I saw a boy up ahead and I called out. He turned and ran over. He was pretty tall, had black hair and smiled. 'Seamus.' He said, sticking his hand out. I shook it quickly and I turned nervously to see McGonagall. 'Draco and I have already had a detention and we don't want another, so can you please help me hide?' Seamus nodded and grabbed Draco's legs. 'Help me lift him and then follow me!' He exclaimed as I lifted Draco's shoulders, with difficulty.
We managed to hull Draco around the corner to a suit of armour, which Seamus spoke too. It moved aside and we pulled Draco in and the armour slide across again. I sighed with happiness and carefully put Draco down. 'Thankyou so much!' I said, smiling a little in the dark. I felt Seamus move beside me and I held my breath. 'Your welcome...uh I never caught your name..' He replied as I let my breath out.
'It's Taylor. Taylor Weasley.' I said as I heard a groan from the ground. I dropped to my knees and felt Draco's hand feel around, trying to find my hand. I grabbed his hand and he muttered something. 'What was that?' I asked, feeling Draco squeeze my hand and hearing Seamus drop down next to me.
'I said, where the hell am I and where is McGonagall?' I smiled and squeezed his hand. 'Hiding somewhere and McGonagall is long gone. Thanks to Seamus that is!' I said, as Seamus grunted a little next to me.
'Let's get out of here!' I announced, helping Draco to his feet. Seamus muttered the same words again and the suit of armour slide across, revealing McGonagall. I gulped and looked at the boys. They had looks of horror on their faces. 'Malfoy! Weasley! Again Detention!' She yelled, before turning to Seamus. 'And you Mr Finnegan, will serve detention also!' She yelled, before turning on her heels and walking off.
I groaned. 'I'm sorry guys!' Seamus said, but I shook my head. 'It's my fault for coming out to find Draco...I should have stayed hidden with Fred, George, Ron, Lee and Har- Oh no!' I said before running off down the corridor and turning the corner. I saw Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Lee all sprawled out on the floor. I ran up to Harry. 'Did you guys get caught?' I asked, helping him up.
He shook his head and I sighed. 'Your lucky then!' I said, before explaining what had happened with Draco and Seamus. As I finished I heard my name. I whirled around to see Draco and Seamus standing behind me, beaming. I looked at them confused, until they burst out laughing. I heard laughter behind me, and I couldn't help but laugh too.
While still laughing, we all headed to the Great Hall for dinner.
