Practice Time

Dinner didn't taste as good due to the pressure they were under. What if McGonagall hadn't been able to get them out of detention? What if she did get them out? What would Snape do to them if they did get out? Luckily they didn't have another potions class until Tuesday. They watched as McGonagall walked over to them from the staff table with a grin on her face. "Dumbledore has talked to Snape. Your detentions have been removed but I wasn't able to get back the house points we lost. I think it's for the best though. You shouldn't have yelled. Yes I know you were angry but still. If you have any more problems with Snape don't react. Just suck it up and talk to me as soon as you can." McGonagall whispered to Rhea and Kiran. "Thank you Professor." Kiran said as McGonagall smiled and walked back up to the staff table. "Well that was lucky." Mackenzie whispered who had heard the conversation. "Yeah well we will just have to not let it happen again." Rhea replied with a wink. Dinner tasted just a bit better after that. They finished and headed up to the common room. They had quidditch practice after dinner so the team grabbed their things and headed down to the pitch. Everyone was working very hard including the new recruits. They were beating the bludgers away from the team, throwing the quaffle through the hoops. Keelin and Kyleigh were taking turns being keeper. Kiran and Tai were racing around the field trying to get the snitch before the other. Surprisingly Kiran caught the snitch four out of ten times. "Wow Kiran. You'll make a fair seeker. Keep training and nothing will stop Gryffindor from getting that quidditch cup." Tai said to Kiran with a smile. Kiran blush and answered with a quiet "Thank you." Almost everyone was exhausted after practice. Kiran and Rhea slumped up to the dormitory, changed into their pajamas and went to sleep. Rhea was so tired that she did not notice that Archimedes had flown through the window beside her bed. The owl dropped an envelope that it was carrying on her night table. Spectrum, Kiran's colour-changing cat jumped onto the dresser and the owl flew away. The cat knocked the letter onto the floor. Spectrum then jumped of the dresser and fell asleep right on top of the letter. The room was then silent aside from the loud snoring sound coming from Kiran's bed. Everyone was sound asleep.
