Chapter 8 She's a Keeper!
Aphelia was having the time of her life hanging with the two men she loved most in her life. She couldn't see how she had ever thought that Hermione would be her best friend.
"Hey Lea! We were wondering when you'd join us!" Harry called as he and Draco walked up to her with their broomsticks in hand.
"Oh, sorry! I had to study with Pansy! Why are you guys holding your broomsticks?" Aphelia asked.
"Oh! The Gryffindor's have practice and our team needs to train our new Keeper!" Draco explained as they walked out onto the Quidditch field.
"Who is it?" Aphelia asked as she took a seat on the bleachers and watched as her brother and Draco went out onto the field.
"Pansy!" Aphelia laughed at the thought of Pansy playing Quidditch, but stopped when she saw her prance out onto the field like she owned the place.
"Hey Aphelia!" she heard Jade call. Aphelia scooted over to make room for her.
"Hey! What's up?" she asked as she pulled out some chewing gum. Offering Jade a piece, she looked at Pansy trying to mount the broomstick. "Is that…that a… PANSY OWNS A THUNDER STRIP?" Aphelia choked out as she saw the fine detailing of the broom Pansy had finally gotten onto.
"Yeah! It's one of the best brooms in the WORLD!" she heard Jade say, but she was too dumbfounded by the broom to speak to anyone else. As the game moved on and on, and Aphelia stared at the fine makings of the Thunder Strip, Pansy began to play worse and worse and none of the advise Draco or anyone could give her was working.
"Here! Let me help!" Aphelia said as she grabbed her brothers Fire Bolt and flew straight up to Pansy. She didn't even notice that everyone was smiling at her. "Pansy. You're problem here is that you are afraid of the ball! You needn't be afraid of the ball, I mean this game wasn't meant to be easy it was meant to be dangerous and hard! Here watch me play for a few rounds!" Aphelia offered as the game started up (except for Harry who was too busy watching his sister play on his broom). By the end of the game the Gryffindor's hadn't scored anymore points from the ones they had won from Pansy.
"Guys, I think we have found ourselves our new Keeper!" Aphelia heard Draco say as she and Pansy landed on the ground.
"Excuse me?" Aphelia asked them as Pansy handed her the broom. "Pansy, do I look like your maid?" Aphelia asked.
"No! It's your broom Aphelia! Happy Christmas!" Pansy replied. Aphelia started jumping up and down, screaming. She had always dreamed of having her own broom, but she didn't want to waste all of the money that was left to her and her brother when their parent's died.
"But, what do I need it for? I mean, YOU'RE the Keeper!" Aphelia pointed out as she handed Pansy the broom back.
"No, YOU'RE the Keeper! They just used me as a diversion to get oyu out on the field so they could see how well you played when you didn't think you were trying out!" Pansy said. Aphelia laughed and jumped on Draco, hugging him.
'Thank you! Thanks all of you! Wow! I've gotta go tell Hermio... Jade!" Aphelia covered as she ran up to her room and put her broom away. The word that Aphelia was the new Slytherin Keeper spread like a wild fire through the school, and soon everyone started a joke saying 'She's a Keeper!'.
