The teammates turned around to see their former keeper, Zick or as Reva may say "Sunny-Boy" , standing on the doorway carrying a suitcase and himself
Luna looked up, that was a voice she recognized very well, oh the smart ass touch was something she knew so well, it could only be in Zick
"Zick!"she yelled open mouthed, Dylan saw the little gesture and closed Luna's mouth silently
"Sunny-Boy!"Reva exclaimed coming towards Zick and embracing him furiously
"um..hello"he replied frowning and awkwardly setting himself free from her grasp
"Zz-iii-cc-kk"Karin said and nodded "wh-wh-a-wh-at-a-"
"surprise!"Roonie exclaimed jumping off his chair to clasp hands with Zick
Dylan waved her hand at him smiling widely, Lloyd shook his hand, neither Oliver or Neville had said a word sicne Zick's approach, Neville because he didn't have the slightest idea of who the guy with black messy hair and pale skin was and Oliver because he was utterly dumbfounded, not even a memo was sent to him
"hello"Zick said more than awkward
"Zick!"Oliver exclaimed finally coming down to earth, or more specifically the quidditch changing room "what? what are you doing here? I thought you were training with the Puddles"he said and frowned, he then looked at Luna, who looked amazed
"maybe because I'm still a student my sponsor didn't want me to miss any more classes"Zick replied like talking to a baby, pausing each word and rolled his eyes "don't think I wanted to come here in the first place"he said sitting on a bench nonchalantly but looking at Luna constantly dissimulated
"I see it was a good flight"Dylan mumbled sarcastically
"very good indeed, they have great peanuts"Zick replied, Dylan rolled her eyes and he smirked
"um...Neville, this is Zick, our former keeper"Oliver said, Neville's eyes widened
"he's the one that saved Ravenclaw at the Slyhterin/Ravenclaw quidditch match!"Neville exclaimed
"oh yeah, that Laurius Snicket thought he could pass me huh!"Zick said "not a chance bud!"
"my Merlin, I worship you!"Neville exclaimed and shaking his hand agitatedly, Zick lift his eyebrow looking at him oddly
"o...kay"he mumbled and Oliver spoke:
"Zick, are you back for good?"
"yep"the teenager replied still nonachalantly
"but why, is it like the off season or something?"Lloyd asked
"noup, I already told you my sponsor wanted me to come back and finish my year, after that I'm the hell out of here"he explained
"but nobody said anything Zick, the quidditch cup is about to start and..."Oliver started and the boy cut him off
"yeah, you know how I like to give surprises!"Zick exclaimed
"so Sunny!"Reva mumbled to Dylan, who nodded
Oliver shook his head "Zick, why didn't you inform us of this? bloody hell why didn't anyone informed us of this!"he exclaimed and Zick shrugged "Zick, did you tell Mrs Pepper about this?"Oliver asked suspiciously
"who's Mrs Pepper and why is she named after a condiment?"Zick asked
"I bet the condiment was named after her, she was like ten thousand years old when I was a first year"Lloyd said
"oh she's the mummy!" Dylan exclaimed, Reva snapped
"oh right the wrinkly lady"she said
"you mean the Sharpei"Ronnie said
"boy she's gonna bury us or something"Neville mumbled
"maybe she took the elixir of life" Luna blurted out , everyone rolled their eyes
Zick, who had been in "apparent" , and I mean "apparent" deep thinking finally came with an answer
"oh she was the lady who was calling me you,you!"Zick mimicked the old woman pointing at him with a pen and a trembling finger
Oliver chuckled but quickly remembered himself , he tried his best to put a serious face and continued " yes, I believe that one must have been Mrs Pepper, and I won't bother to ask you why you didn't stop when she called you"
"I thought she was having a seizure, freaky"Zick said sounding serious but not meaning a thing " so I did whatever a good boy is suppose to do when he sees something like that"he said faking proud
"oh for the love of Merlin, Zick what did you do to that poor woman?"Oliver asked sorrowed
"hmmm, let me see if I can remember..."Zick started
FLASHBACK
"you, you!"Mrs Pepper yelled running after Zick, he narrowed his eyes and saw an old lady chading him
"must be in good shape"Zick mumbled and walked faster pretending not to hear the woman screaming histerically at him and trying to approach him and stop his was to the quidditch pitch
"you the tall one!"she yelled pointing a pen at him like she could get at his height by shaking a pen uncontrollably
Zick ran to the hallway and his himself behind a trashcan, but obviously a small trashcan couldn't hide 1.80 meters of height
"crap"he mumbled when he step his shoe on a banana skin, which by the way I must tell you gave hima terrific idea.
He didn't even know who she was and she was chasing him like a crazy person, she could be a death eater as far as he could tell, after all her face does look like one of those masks death eaters wear, and if perhaps a little banana skin fell right where she's about to step nobody could blame him, who can blame an innocent teenager who ate a banana and didn't score the trashcan when tossing it, there was one answer for him, nobody.
Zick then grabbed the banana skin and tossed it on the floor, he made sure the woman saw where he went so she would follow, he ran faster and hid behind a tree, he was skinny so it covered him perfectly
WHOOP, BOOM, OUCH! he heard along with some whinings over an unsolved back problem, he then smirked and shook his head
"now that's a good welcome"he muttered and smirked again...
END OF FLASHBACK
Zick smirked at the memory, Oliver looked at him in horror and the other students looked amazed
"you did that?"Oliver asked horrified
"yep"Zick nodded still smirking
"man, you're my heroe!"Ronnie exclaimed, Oliver looked at him and slapped his head slightly, the other way would be child abuse and that is so used already on HP fanfiction...
"there's nothing heroic about this Ronnie, Merlin knows how that woman is!"he exclaimed
"oh she just had five fractures on her low body"Zick assured him " can we practice now?"he asked not giving his action a lot of thought
"practice is over Zick"
"damn it!"he yelled and Ronnie opened his mouth " the d word!"
"digger?"Dylan asked
"dougnut?"Lloyd asked
"dictionary?"Luna asked
"dish?"Neville asked
"dictionary?"Karin asked
"disc?"Reva asked
"damn?"Zick asked
"yes that! the d word"Ronnie said
Oliver rolled his eyes "Zic, we cannot put you inmedietely in the team, you have to report to Dumbledore and then we'll find a position for you since Neville has worked as our keeper"
"ok, man wanna share?"Zick asked "I'll do mondays, wednesdays , thursdays and sundays"
"sure"Neville answered and they shook hands closing the deal
Oliver sighed "if Dumbledore agrees..."
Luna who hadn't spoke so much looked at Zick interested, same old Zick making old women wanna commit murder, it wasn't like she enjoyed someone else's pain but the thought of Zick pranking the old woman made her smile,in that dreamy way she only could and that made two certain brunettes smile too.
"hey Oliver can we go now? I can't feel my arm anymore"Lloyd asked
Oliver snapped and took command inmedietely "sure, Karin you need a good cup of hot chocolate, Ronnie you seem dry now and Reva you go to the hospital wing and get some medicine"as soon as he isntructed the teens, he walked to Luna and dropped a message next to her, what a shame Zick had to sit right on it
"hey"he said
"hi"Luna said grabbing the branches and tossing them away from her hair
"you have one right here"Zick said and tossed the branch away
"thanks"Luna said
"wanna see my new foreign wardrobe?"he asked
"sure"Luna replied and they left, not noticing a small sheet of paper right on where they had been sitting.
