Chapter 6-Quidditch Practice



The next morning Sarah got up early so she could go watch the Ravenclaw quidditch team. She ate breakfast alone because the only other people in her house who were up were the quidditch players and they were already getting ready for practice. When she walked out to the field the quidditch players were already practicing. Sarah thought that they looked like a very good team and she was quite impressed with how well the work together.

Not long after Sarah had gotten to the quidditch pitch, she heard some people sit down behind her. She turned around thinking that they were some other Ravenclaw that had decided to come watch practice. She was surprised to find seven boys behind her, and most of them were at least two or three times her size. Sarah recognized only one of them. He was Draco Malfoy.

"Why are you giving me a what the hell are you doing here look, Sarah?" Draco asked.

"I thought that you guys would be some other Ravenclaws that came to watch our team practice. Sorry if I gave you a dirty look. Hey, you remembered my name!" Sarah said.

"What? Do you not remember my name?" Draco asked.

"Yes, I remember it." Sarah replied.

"Well, why wouldn't I remember yours then?" Draco asked.

"You didn't seem to like me much when we were on the train," Sarah said.

"No, that's not true. I just didn't like the Gryffindor that you were with on the train. I was quite interested in you," Draco said.

"Well, you could have been a little bit nicer to me then. What do you have against Seamus anyway?" Sarah asked.

"All the Slytherins hate all the Gryffindors and vice versa. It's an old house rivalry,' Draco explained.

"That's stupid," Sarah said.

"That's history," Draco said.

"Well, you know what..." Sarah started to say.

"Speaking of house, I was rather disappointed that you weren't sorted into Slytherin," Draco said.

"The sorting hat said that I had enough ambition to be in Slytherin, but that I was to kind-hearted to really fit in. It almost put me in Hufflepuff, but I think that it saw that I'm not the most patient person in the world," Sarah said.

"Well, if you can't be in Slytherin at least you are in Ravenclaw," Draco said.

"Why are you here anyway?" Sarah asked.

"Well, we thought that the Gryffindor team was practicing today. So we decided that we'd come and watch them because we play them in the first match of the season," Draco said.

"Why are you still here then?" Sarah asked.

Draco said, "Because I was enjoying talking to you. Is that okay?"

"I guess but will my house team be mad?" Sarah asked.

"No, I get along with Davies. He shouldn't care too much." Draco said.

"Then why does he keep giving you dirty looks?" Sarah asked.

"What?" Draco asked.

"Look at him," Sarah replied.

"I don't know. I'll ask him about it later. Sorry, but i gotta go. I still have some Transfiguration homework that's not finished and it's due today." Draco said.

"Okay, see you later," Sarah said.

"Bye!' Draco called over his shoulder as he walked down the stairs.

Sarah watched the rest of the quidditch practice with great interest. She loved watching all of her new friends play, and she wasn't the least bit bored watching them practice the same moves over and over agian. Sarah waited for Padma after the practice was over so that they could walk to class together.

When Sarah saw padma she called, "Hey Padma, good practice!"

"Thanks! I hope you weren't bored watching us," Padma said.

"No, I wasn't bored at all. I like watching you guys practice," Sarah said.

"Are you sure you liked watching us?" Padma asked.

"Yes, of course. Why do you ask?" Sarah asked.

"Well, I thought maybe you had so much fun because all of the hottest boys in Slytherin were sitting behind you. And what about Draco Malfoy? I saw you talking to him," Padma said teasingly.

"No, I didn't only have fun because there were seven good-looking guys behind me, but it did help," Sarah said and smiled while Padma laughed.

"And as for Draco. I met him on the train on the way to Hogwarts and we were just talking," Sarah said.

"Do you like him?" Padma asked.

"I'm trying to stay away from having a boyfriend for a while. Usually I meet a guy that I really like right when I get to a new place and I spend all my time with that guy instead of getting to know any of the other guys. I'm not going to even look for a boyfriend for a while," Sarah said.

"So what you are saying is you're keeping your options open," Padma said. "Smart move."

"Uh, I guess you could say that," Sarah said.

"Well, you are disappointing quite a few guys, especially Roger. He's got it bad for you," Padma said.

"Is that why he was giving Draco dirty looks, today?" Sarah asked.

"Probably. He and Draco normally get along pretty well," Padma said. "Oh no! We got to get to class or else we are going to be late!"

"I don't want to go. I'm already tired of going to class," Sarah said.

"I know we're going to have tons of homework. I can already tell it's going to be a bad week," Padma said.
