Scene 11
Setting: Next day, Tuesday
Summary: A few wizard/witches get to try out at a certain practice
Jacob - Sphynx! Sphynx! Get up, look what I found posted on our dormatory
door! (holds out a flyer that reads:)
WANTED:
A Gryffindor Quidditch Team!
Need a Seeker, three Chasers, and two Beaters.
If interested, come see:
Jeremy Wood, Keeper/Captain
Younger players welcome!
but remember:
Older players will have a more
likely chance of making the team.
Sphynx - Bloody hell, get that out of my face, I'm trying to sleep!
Jacob - Man, what's wrong with you, you and Elise fighting again?
Sphynx - Actually... (changes the subject) So, how are you and uh... (searches for
a name in his mind) Britney doing?
Jacob - Brooke and I broke up, right after I screwed up and told her that I liked
Elise.
Sphynx - (scathingly) I guess you shouldn't have told her that...
Jacob - Yeah, guess not, so are you trying out?
Sphynx - For what?
(Jacob shoves the notice back into Sphynx's face impatiently)
Sphynx - Oh. No... probably not...
Jacob - (taking the flier back immediately, in a surprised manner) Why not?
Sphynx - I dunno...
Jacob - Your father played Quidditch...
Sphynx - My mum did too, but that's no reason to try out...
Jacob - You might have a nack for it though...
Sphynx - I really want to...
Jacob - It would be cool to be the seeker, don't you reckon?
Sphynx - No, I don't think so, my father played seeker for Slytherin...
Jacob - Yeah, anyway see you at breakfast!
Sphynx - Jacob...
Jacob - (Truns back to Sphynx) Yes...?
Sphynx - I'll be there.
Jacob - Good!
(Jacob turns and walks exitedly out of the Boy's Dormatory five minutes later, Sphynx goes to the Great Hall and (accidently) sits beside of Sapphire, A girl wearing multicolored sequin shoes (that made her look a lot like a disco ball) Rainbow hair, and a pink robe, (which McGonagall got highly pissed about) and her eye color (today) is lilac and lime green, like lilac iris and lime green lining the iris and pupil of silver) oh yeah you're thinking 'what a total FREAK' right! Sapphire and I think it's quite kool.
Sapphire - Hi Sphynx... do you want your pumpkin juice?
Sphynx - No, you can have it.
Sapphire - Off day?
Sphynx - Try off life!
Sapphire - It can't be that bad...
Sphynx - Sapphire, can I ask you something?
Sapphire - The answer is yes! I will!
Sphynx - What the hell?
Sapphire - Oh you wern't going to ask me that... were you?
Sphynx - Probably not...
Sapphire - So you going to try out for the Quidditch team?
Sphynx - (Sighs) Why is everyone dogging me about the team?
Sapphire - Because we know you can make it!
Sphynx - What would ever make you people think that I could make the team?
Ashleigh - I have no idea, because I think you're a loser!
(Ashleigh had walked up to Gryffindor table just to take an early start on destroying Sphynx's day)
Sphynx - Just leave Ashleigh...
Ashleigh - I don't think I will thanks... I think I'll stay and watch while you wallow in self pitty after I piss you off...
Sphynx - Well, you've already pissed me off thanks.
Ashleigh - Oh but I've only begun!
Sphynx - I was pissed before you showed your face here, so you'll have to try
harder next time, so LEAVE!
Ashleigh - No! I'm not leaving yet!
Sapphire - I think you are! You heard him, he said to leave!
Ashleigh - I didn't give you permission to talk to me did I?
Sapphire - I don't need to have permission to talk to you, you slut!
Ashleigh - How dare you talk to me this way!
Sapphire - Oh shut the hell up! I don't know about the rest of the table, but I'm
getting tired of your talking! So just take your preppy ass drama out of
here and get a fing life!
(With that being said, Ashleigh left without a single word spoken)
Sphynx - Wow that was bloody brilliant!
Sapphire - I couldn't help it, damn! I get tired of hearing her all of the time! How
the hell do you stand hearing that?
Sphynx - It's hard sometimes...
Sapphire - You just need to stop listening to what other people say...
Sphynx - You don't know what it's like being the only Malfoy that has ever been in
Gryffindor.
Sapphire - And you don't know what it's like being labeled 'Looney Lovegood's'
Daughter!
Sphynx - Looney Lovegood...?
Sapphire - Yeah, my mum's name is Luna Lovegood, and she was a walking
freakshow by the way everyone talks about her at the Three
Broomsticks! Wearing lion heads as hats in support for Gryffindor and
she wasn't even in Gryffindor, she was in Ravenclaw!
Sphynx - That is kind of wierd...
Sapphire - Yeah, you don't tell me what's wierd, I'm the Princess of Wierd!
(Sphynx just sort of gives a small laugh while he checks Sapphire out)
Sphynx - (THINKING) Man she's really hot... I wouldn't mind having her..
(suddenly coming to his senses) What the hell am I thinking?
Sapphire - Excuise me?
Sphynx - Oh, nothing...
Sapphire - Ok, well good luck at Quidditch tryouts, I'm going to be there!
(suddenly without confidence) If you want to talk to me...
Sphynx - Sure I'll talk to you, why the hell wouldn't I?
Sapphire - Sphynx, in case you havn't noticed, I'm not the likeable type... I'm too
pushy, flirty, annoying, (stops then glances at Sphynx) wierd...(her face reddens)
Sphynx - Flirty, yes. Pushy, sometimes. Wired, deffinately! But that doesn't matter, I like you Sapphire, you're pretty cool!
Sapphire - Wait, you like me, you really LIKE me!
Sphynx - Wait now, I just came out of a bad relationship...
Sapphire - I'll give you time to think.
Sphynx - (thinking) Wow that's something Elise never did, give me time...
(aloud to Sapphire) Hey, Sapphire, I'll think about it okay?
Sapphire - (With confidence again) Okay!
Sphynx - So what position do you want?
Sapphire - Keeper or Seeker of course, nothing but!
Sphynx - (thinking' that's like a guy's position') Your brother wants Seeker...
Sapphire - And what do you want?
Sphynx - I don't know yet...
Sapphire - Well, you'll have plenty of time to figure it out, tryouts are during
our double potions class.
Sphynx - Do you like me?
Sapphire - What kind of question is that?
Sphynx - I don't know, it was too 'needy' wasn't it?
Sapphire - Not really...
Sphynx - 'Not really' like you don't really like me or---
Sapphire - 'Not really' like that question wasn't too needy...
Sphynx - Oh, okay, just making sure... but seriously, do you like me?
Sapphire - (sort of gives Sphynx a half-way grin) Maybe.
(Sapphire turns and walks away)
