Chapter Ten
More good news
I stretched in the confines of my robe. Daphne yawned as she lounged beside me in the carriage. We smiled at each other breifly as we made our way across to the castle.
I wondered if she could see the Theserals too. As far as I knew she had fought in the war too.
I got out of the carriage and helped Daphne. She laughed and curtsied gracefully.
"Miss Weasley!"
I turned to see McGonagall hurrying toward me. I straightened my skirt and wondered what I could have done now.
"Ah, Miss Weasley, I must congradulate you on your appointment to Head girl. But there is something else I wish to talk to you about."
I felt the urge to look for which of my brothers had committed the crime. Old reflex.
"Yes?"
"I would like it if you would be the Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team."
I stared.
"Huh?" I finally managed.
"I know it's rather sudden, but I hoped you'd be able. Seeing as you're one of the only returning members. You might want to take the position of Seeker. With Potter gone, you'll need a strong seeker."
I stared a bit more.
"Um, ok."
"Excellent. Decide when you want to hold try outs and get back to me."
Daphne grinned at me as McGonnagall walked off.
"Head girl and Captain? Not bad!"
I blushed. "Stop."
We walked off to the castle. I was on cloud nine and Daphne was humoring me. Dennis and Colin met us there. I noticed Colin's blue eyes lingered on Daphne a bit longer than usual.
I smirked and led the way into the Great hall. Daphne left us for her table and Colin's eyes followed her. I rapped him with my spoon after he tried for a third time to eat his potatoes while watching her and stabbing me for the third time.
He looked back at me and blushed scarlet. I looked up at the Teacher's table. Charlie was up there. And there was Lupin, back to teach another year as Defense against the Dark arts. Slughorn had retired and...
I stared.
(A/N: Oh! Jules is gonna kill me!
To Lauren: Thanks for the input. I really like it when people like my fics enough to want to help me. I don't know when I'll get around to it, but I'll try to get some more flashbacks in.
