Rose sat in the Syltherin commons room that evening with her two best friends, flipping through a book she had gotten from the library. She was leaning against her cousin who was busy looking through his chocolate frogs cards.
"Albus, quidditch tryouts are tomorrow." Rose stated, peaking over the top of her book. The cover read Quidditch Throughout the Ages.
"Rose, you already know what I am going to say. You remember first year when I could not even pick up my broom. What makes you think I will make the team?" He shifted and pulled out his wand, beginning to work on his divination homework.
"Albus, we play at the burrow all the time, you're good, you'll make it. Wont he Scorpius?" The two looked over at there friend who clearly was not paying attention. Rose punched his arm, causing him to wince and scowl at her.
"What the bloody hell was that for?" Scorpius asked, rubbing out his now sore arm.
"You weren't listening to me, that's what! Now, don't you think that Albus could make the quidditch team?" Scorpius looked over at the other boy and nodded.
"Of course, why would he not?" Albus rolled his eyes and kept working.
"You're going tomorrow Albus." Rose stated. Albus stood up and grabbed his things.
"The only way I am trying out for the bloody quidditch team is if Scorpius tries out too." Rose smirked at the two boys and answered before Scorpius could speak.
"Deal."
Rose sat in the stands of the quidditch stadium as the Slytherin team began their tryouts. She was in a Gryffindor practices uniform of her own, and her red hair was pulled tightly back. A few stray strands framed her heart shaped face. Scorpius was trying out for chaser and Albus was going for beater.
She watched as the tryouts started. Roger Finnigan was the teams keeper, one of the best the they had seen in a while. He was a sixth year just like her cousin Dominique and was quite attractive. He was tall, with tan skin and black curly hair, which bounced in front of his eyes while he flew. He blocked Scorpius's shot with ease. Rose's eyes followed Scorpius as he flew. He was graceful on a broom, yet she knew he did not care for the sport unless it was for recreation.
Rose shifted her gaze from Scorpius to Albus who was currently blocking one of the other tryouts from getting hit by a bulgar. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Scorpius again. She smiled to herself, but it quickly fell when a bulgar started right at him. Rose watched as Albus quickly flew over, hitting it away just in time. Rose let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding and relaxed into her seat. She watched the rest of the tryout in silence.
"That was so much fun!" Albus exclaimed as him and Scorpius walked down the halls towards the common room. The results were to be posted by the end of the day. Rose was going to the Gryffindor common room to check for hers. They walked down to the dungeon and whispered the password to the wall. It slid open and they stepped inside. There was a crowd around one of the walls.
"The results must have been posted." Albus stated and rushed over. Scorpius followed slowly, dragging his feet. Albus eyed the list for a minute and read it off.
"Captain: Reed Brantley, Keeper: Roger Finnigan, Chasers: Scorpius Malfoy, Alexa Knott, Ethan Goldstein, Beaters: Albus Potter, Delilah Berkshire, Seeker: Hadley Zabini." Albus looked over at his friend with wide eyes.
"Scorpius, we made the team. This is crazy!" Scorpius groaned and shook his head.
"I don't even want to be on the team. I just did it because I knew you would make it."
"Are you going to quit?" Albus asked and leaned against the couch. Scorpius nodded and headed over towards Reed. Albus watched from a distance and was joined by Rose.
"Did you both make it?" Rose asked as they watched him. Albus nodded as Scorpius came back over.
"How'd you do Rose?" She squealed in excitement causing the boys to squirm slightly.
"I made it! I'm the newest Gryffindor keeper! What about you Scorpius?" Rose asked with a slight smirk playing across her pink lips.
"It's official, I'm a quidditch dropout."
