At 8:30 about 40 kids were on the Quidditch field. When Marie tried she
didn't miss any targets. She had watched how excited Ron was when Harry
told him he made the Gryffindor team as a Keeper. Harry is the Gryffindor
Seeker. Marie gave Draco a kiss on the cheek.
Draco- What was that for?
Marie- No reason.
Draco- Fine by me.
Marie smiled along with Draco. Draco had said most of the Slytherin team already, which Marie didn't notice until now.
Draco- ... and our Beaters are Marie Snape and Pansy Parkinson. Congratulations everyone. We have got to win the Quidditch Cup this year. Gryffindors have been winning for 4 years now. Here's our big chance! Practice will be on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:35PM, so don't be late! We start Monday.
With that everyone from the Slytherin team went inside. At around 1 or 2AM Marie left the Slytherin Tower. Logan and Torch followed close behind as she lead the way to the Astronomy Tower. They almost got caught by Mrs. Norris, but Logan chased her away. Once they reached the tower, Marie sat on the windowsill with her leg hanging out of it, and seemed to be lost in thought. Torch made a fire near her and sat next to it. He looked at her.
Marie- Go ahead, I'll tell you if someone's coming.
Torch nodded. All of a sudden the tiger turned into a guy, looking about 18 or 19, with black hair and Torch's tiger eyes.
Torch- Much better. Now, why do you like that Dragon?
Marie- I don't know. I trust him, as much as I trust you, Cameron. And you better not change in front of anyone but me. If anyone knows my brother is here, protecting me, I'll get expelled, and you'll be sent to Azakban or worse.
Cameron- I know, don't worry.
Marie- Ok, if you say so.
Cameron- Yeah, I said so!
Marie smiled.
Marie- Isn't it getting harder to change back now? I mean you're never in your human form anymore. Maybe 4 or 5 times a year.
Cameron- Yeah, but I'll manage. Plus, I'll do anything to protect my lil' sis'.
Marie smiled again. She jumped off the windowsill and gave Cameron a hug.
Marie- Thanks.
Marie heard the doorknob turn and Cameron shifted into a tiger just in time before Draco walked in.
Draco- Hi sweetie.
Marie- Oh, hi Draco.
Draco- Who were you talking to?
Marie- Just Torch.
Torch rubbed against Draco.
Draco- Hey Torch, keeping my girlfriend safe for me?
Torch purred slightly, then sat down.
Draco- What are ya doing up here?
Marie- Relaxing.
Draco- You sure you're ok?
Marie- Of course. I like being up here. It's comforting.
Draco- Ok.
Marie- Do you know what time it-
There was a noise outside the door. Marie grabbed Draco's arm, went next to a wall, and closed her eyes. Torch and Logan disappeared. Filtch walked in with Mrs. Norris.
Filtch- Anyone in here? I heard talking. Mrs. Norris search the place to make sure.
The cat went walking around. She first went right next to where Draco and Marie where, but kept walking. A few minutes after Filtch and Mrs. Norris left, Marie let go of Draco's arm.
Draco- How come they didn't see us?
Marie was about to answer but she fainted instead, hitting the ground hard. Before Draco could do anything Torch showed up and changed into a person and did a spell on Marie, waking her up. Draco was so surprised, it looked like Cameron put a stunning spell on him.
Cameron- Marie!
Marie- Cameron!! Draco is right here, er... did you do something to him?
Cameron- No, nothing.
Marie- Draco? Draco snap out of it!
Marie snapped her fingers in front of Draco's face.
Draco- Who's... Torch... WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!!
Marie- SHHH! This is my brother Cameron, or Torch. Don't tell anyone please. Only the Professors, Dumbledore, and I are supposed to know.
Draco- But I...
Marie- I know, I'm sorry I lied to you. Please don't be mad.
Draco- It's alright. Anything else you're keeping from me?
Marie- Umm... well as a matter of fact...
Marie and Cameron laughed. Draco smirked, then gave Marie a hug.
Marie- Cameron...
Cameron- Yeah, yeah, I know...
Cameron turned back into a tiger.
Draco- What was that for?
Marie- No reason.
Draco- Fine by me.
