I would've updated sooner, but like i said I'm spending my break taking care of my sick aunt who has literally no internet, and it didn't come in until now
When Saturday arrived Ginny was dressed and out of bed long before Lily and Alice even stirred. She had hardly slept the night with the information that Lily and Severus were friends and with her worry over Regulus, and even she couldn't deny that he was nervous for her first Qudditch match.
"Ginevra did you even sleep at all?" Alice questioned as she rolled in bed to see Ginny sitting upright in hers.
"Eventually," Ginny replied grinning sheepishly.
"You're going to end up falling off your broom," Lily mumbled from across the room.
"Then Sirius will have to swoop in and save you," Alice winked as she began the process of waking up.
"I think even Sirius is too involved in Qudditch to bother with that," Ginny laughed.
Once Alice and Lily got dressed the three of them went down to the great hall. Just like in her time many of the Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's were supporting Gryffindor colours and many of the Slytherin's booed Ginny as she sat down at the table.
"Am I the only one from the team here?" Ginny asked nervously looking down the table as she grabbed a piece of toast.
"Well James usually goes to the pitch early, so he's probably dragged Sirius off with him," Lily said nonchalantly.
"Right," commented Ginny.
"And Fabian and Gideon don't roll out of bed until the last possible moment," Lily continued.
"Since when did you keep tabs on all the Qudditch players?" Alice joked,
Lily blushed as she picked up her spoon and starting eating her porridge.
"There's Michaela and Frank," Alice nodded towards the entrance hall to where their keeper and chaser walked in laughing.
"Most of the Slytherin team isn't at the table yet," Lily commented as the three girl turned to regard the few player sitting together at the end of the table.
"Probably trying to figure out a way they can find new players so their team is actually good," Frank said, noticing the girls staring at the Slytherin table, as he took a seat beside Ginny.
"Are they not good?" Ginny asked still scanning the table for Regulus.
"Oh their good enough, they just like to play dirty, and often get away with it," Michaela said sitting on Ginny's other side.
"Slytherin's good?" Frank questioned with a laugh.
"Just because they're in Slytherin doesn't mean I won't give credit where credit is due, besides they've had the same team for 3 years, they've had plenty of time to find their strengths," Michaela said all serious as she reached for a piece of toast off the stack in front of them.
"The one thing I don't miss about you being captain is your long speeches and lectures," Frank joked, flicking some of his egg at Michaela.
"You were captain?" Ginny asked.
Michaela was in her seventh year, it was strange that she wasn't made captain again if James was only in his fifth year.
"For 3 years," Michaela answered.
"Michaela's been on the team since second year, and made captain the year the twins and I joined the team," Frank said proudly.
"Why didn't you get it this year?" Alice questioned a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"It's my last year, so I need to focus on my grades if I want to play professionally, it was going to be too much work to do both," Michaela shrugged as she bit into her toast. "Besides James has wanted it since I let him on the team in his second year," Michaela added smiling at Lily.
"And Merlin knows he needs you to keep him in line," The twins recited as they squished their way on either side of Michaela forcing Ginny and Frank over.
"You know Miss McMillian if you ever want to keep me in line I'm just on the other side of the dorm," Fabian said with a wink as he nudged her.
"To bad she's dating good ol' Todd Wood from Ravenclaw," Gideon said sadly as he grabbed the toast out of her hand and began munching on it, not bother finishing it before he continued speaking. "Speaking of, I haven't seen him around lately if you ever need someone to console you, I'm your guy," Gideon winked as toast crumbs flew out of his mouth.
The three girls and Frank started laughing but the twins didn't understand why as they continued to munch on toast.
"You know," Michaela said bushing some of Gideon's crumbs off her lap, "I think we should head over to the pitch."
"Excellent idea!" Gideon and Fabian cried standing up so suddenly that Michaela fell backwards off the bench.
Ginny and Frank scrambled to help her up as they all tried to conceal their laughter.
