A New Girl And Her Past
By: Jt112
"OK, OK. Calm down everyone," Fred Weasley said as he tried to clam down the Gryffindor team.
"Welcome to the Gryffindor Quidditch tryouts," George shouted.
"The way this works is as follows: we are going to separate all of you into two teams, you will play each other and George and I will be watching you. After we have chosen the team we will play those dirty Slytherins. Any questions?" Fred asked. He paused then uttered "Then let's get started".

Harry saw something gold in the air. Then stared to dive. It's the Snitch I know it is. Just a little further and I'll catch it. Come one…. He caught it. Harry caught the Snitch!!
"Nice one, Harry" Alicia called from bellow
"Thanks" Harry replied.
"Go Harry" someone yelled from behind.
Harry turned around and saw Hermione with her hands in the air yelling. She is cheering me on instead of in a book. Suddenly, a group of student with brooms in their hands came out onto the field. Harry immediately recognized one of them. Then he yelled,
"What are you doing here, Malfoy"
A grin went across his face. He then said "What does it look like, Potter? We are going to have a practice. So get off our field."
"We were here first," Fred Weasley yelled back. And a couple other Gryffindors agreed with him. It looked there was going to be a fight. Harry and Draco looked like they were going to have a duel right there and then. But a brown haired girl walked out into view and yelled,
"We will just have to share the field. We will take this part of the field and then you guys will take the other. Got it!" She then mounted her broom and the rest of the Slytherins followed. As she got closer Harry recognized who she was. It was the new girl. Riley Thompson. Harry didn't like her. She gave him a weird feeling. O well! I better keep practicing. Hope Hermi is having fun.
After 15 minutes of practice, Draco Malfoy flew over to and yelled, "Hey Weasley, do you want to play against us? I know that we will beat you but lets see who will win anyways."
"Bring it on, Malfoy" Fred yelled back

All of the balls were released and the game started. Katie Bell was the first one to catch the Quaffle. She passed it to Angelina then back again. Together they went towards the big Rings and Katie threw the ball. They scored. Gryffindor scored.
Meanwhile, Harry was searching for the Snitch. It has to be here somewhere. I know it. I wonder who Slytherin's Seeker is? Just then Harry noticed a small glint of gold across the field. It was the Snitch. Harry went in a dive. Just then he felt that someone pushed him. He turned around to see a girl with long brown hair and brown eyes. Riley was right behind him. She is their Seeker? This is going to be easy. But Harry soon found that Riley was quite a good seeker. She had a good broom and she knew how to use it.
Now Harry and Riley were side by side and both of their hands were stretched out to catch the Snitch. They both looked at each other and then turned back. Harry noticed that her eyes changed color. They were now green just like his. That is so weird. Just then, Harry felt a cold sphere in his hand. He had caught the Snitch, Gryffindor won. But as he looked towards Riley, he saw that she was holding the golden ball too. They both caught it at the same time. The game was over.
Riley turned to Harry and laughed. Then said "I guess we tied!" A small smile was on her face. She looked different. It was the first time Harry had seen her smile. Riley usually had a cold expression. But the smile went just a quickly as it came. She then had a scowl on her face. And looked at Harry in disgust. "Don't touch me" she said and then pushed him. Riley flew towards the Slytherins. And together they all left.
But Riley turned around and yelled, "I beat you, Potter. Trust me, I will catch it before you." And with that she ran towards the castle.
*~*
On their way back towards the castle, the Gryffindor Quidditch team's morale seemed to be broken. It was the first time Harry had not caught the Snitch. Harry then felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see who it was. It was Hermione. She gave him an apologetic smile
"I guess you are just rusty! Don't worry; I know that you'll win the Quidditch cup. Forget about that Slytherin Riley, I know with practice, that you'll be great. I'll even read books about Quidditch to help you." She said.
"Thanks, Hermi" he replied. "But that girl gives me a weird feeling. I didn't do anything to her and she is treating me like a piece of garbage. I don't understand."
"I think Draco had an influence on her."
"It seems like she has two sides. A pleasant and nice on and then a mean and cold one After be both caught the Snitch she laughed and smiled then said that we tied. Then she pushed me and said to get away from her. I don't get it. And you know what else. Her eyes are so creepy." He said
"What do you mean, aren't they brown like mine?" she asked.
"No yours are nice and warm" he said with a blush. "Hers change color. They also turn green like mine. It is really weird."
"They change color. Wow!" she exclaimed.
"I know," he said. And then there was silence. Neither of them talked until they made it in to the Common Room. They both said Goodnight and then went towards the dormitories.

Author's Notes: Ya I know, there isn't much romance. But I just wanted to show you more of Riley. I love her. My friends Chloe and I made up our own story about HP. We would be involved in the story and then we were gonna write it and then put it on our site. This is mine and my character is Riley. I am Riley but I just didn't want to put the name Jessica cuz I don't really like that name. And I added the eye thing too. My eyes change color it is really cool. But I can't control it. Anyways hope that you like it and send me suggestions if ya have any!
