~*DISCLAIMER*~
I do NOT own Harry Potter, all credit goes J.K Rowling and thanks to PuddlemereChaser for letting me steal your ideas (j/k). PS I own Emilia.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Thanks to the three people who reviewed the first three chapters, I appreciate it. By the way, WaNdA, Emilia is intended in no way to be Mary-Sue; In fact, she's nothing like me. Check out my profile if you don't believe me. I'm not offended, it's just that's not what I was aiming for.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Just over a week after her on the spot signing to Puddlemere United, Emilia was still walking on air. She received an owl from Mr Griff on the 9th of November, informing her that she was to have a tour of the stadium and meet the rest of the team. Needless to say, she was excited.
Her school life continued as normal, as did her extremely friendly (wink wink) relationship with Cedric.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Cedric had been picked as one of the Hogwarts champions for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Controversially however, Harry had been picked too, causing a slight uproar from Madame Maxime and Professor Karakoff.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A few days later, Madam Hooch, who was excited that a sixth-year student had been signed to such a well-known team, escorted Emilia to the Puddlemere Stadium.
Em was left at the ground's reception where a stern looking secretary sent a very timid house-elf to inform Mr Griff of her arrival.
Moments later, the elf returned and the secretary said:
' Mr Griff will see you now'
'Could you tell me where his.'
'Fourth door on your left' snapped the secretary.
'Oh.k' mumbled Emilia, walking away.
When she had counted four doors down the left hand side of the huge corridor the secretary had pointed her down, Emilia found what she was looking for, a door with a shining plaque on it saying; 'Manager's Office'.
'Well duh.' thought Emilia to herself, knocking on the door, then entering.
When Griff saw her, he smiled, and motioned for her to sit down so he could say something.
'Well, now that you're here, you can sign your contract and officially join the squad'
He handed a piece of parchment to her, which she pored over with keen brown eyes.
Nodding, Griff handed her a quill and a pot of ink and she signed on the dotted line.
'Right; now I'll take you to meet your teammates. The lads have been having a little pre-season training session'
As Mr Griff lead her towards the changing rooms, Emilia realised the real size of the stadium compared to the field at school.
When they stopped at the changing rooms, Em could hear showers running, which obviously meant that the lads had finished their training session.
'Listen up lads!' Griff shouted above the chatter in the room 'I want you all to meet our new seeker'
There was a wave of voices shouting 'Ok!' and one said ' We'll be there in a minute coach!'
'I'll leave you to introduce yourself' said mr Griff, slapping Emilia on the shoulder, and heading back towards his office.
The showers were turned off, and the sound pf the guys pulling their clothes on could be heard.
Then it dissolved into friendly banter, which sounded like someone's shoe was being passed around.
Then there was someone shouting 'Hey!' and a shoe came flying over the top of the lockers and landed right at Emilia's feet.
She bent down to pick it up and hand it back to it's owner, but when she did, she cam almost nose to nose with a topless young man.
He immediately looked embarrassed, but brushed it off by flashing an extremely sexy smile at her.
He straightened up, as did Emilia and shouted to the others.
'Cover up lads, there's a lady present'
'Aye, aye captain' said one of the other guys as he came around the corner. 'Ey up, this must be the new Seeker, I'm Ben Simpson' he extended his hand.
Smiling nervously, Emilia shook Ben's hand and replied:
'Yes I'm the new Seeker, and my name's Emilia Stewart, you can call me Em'
'Oliver Wood' said the lad that Emilia had first met.
She shook his hand and for the first time she took in how handsome he was. He had light brown hair and puppy dog eyes, and a smile that could make you knees melt to jelly.
Oliver introduced the other four guys as Will Freeman, a Chaser, Sam LeClerc, a Beater, Ian Knox, the other Beater and Jason Williams, a Chaser.
'.and I'm the Keeper, and Ben here is out third Chaser'
'Very pleased to meet you all' murmured Emilia, blushing slightly
'Is anyone else going to the canteen, I'm parched!' announced Ian, a tall blond lad of about twenty.
'I know I am' replied Will.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The group ran upstairs to the teams little eating area, where it was deemed that they would interrogate Emilia to find out everything about her.
'So, how old are you?' asked Jason
'I'm sixteen'
'Still at school?' butted in Will.
'Yep, it's my first year at Hogwarts'
'First year? But- oh, I get it, you're a transfer' laughed Oliver.
'How'd you fare with the sorting?' asked Sam, who obviously wasn't local.
'I was put in Gryffindor thank god'
'I was Gryffindor' squealed Oliver. 'I used to play Keeper for the house team'
'Funny you should say that, I'm going to play Keeper for the house next year'
'Ah, you're my successor then.' said Oliver, raising his eyebrows.
'Yeah I guess I am' Emilia smiled, trying her best to look smoulderingly sexy.
Right then it was obvious there was a certain chemistry between them.
After an hour's questioning by the lads, Mr Griff appeared with Emilia's new robes in hand.
'Thanks a lots, sir.' she stammered, placing the navy blue robes carefully in her bag.
Turning to her new team-mates, she said:
'Thanks for the introduction you guys, but I have to go, I have classes in the morning'
There was a round of goodbyes, handshakes and even two kisses on the cheek from Oliver and Ben.
'Bye' she waved, heading towards the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When she got outside, Em saw that a smiling Cedric was there to take her back to school.
'I'm so proud of you' he said, pulling her into his arms and kissing her forehead.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was almost 9pm when Emilia arrived back in the Gryffindor common room, despite spending ten minutes snogging the face off Cedric in the Astronomy tower.
Hermione was engrossed in her Herbology homework, but she did see Em come in.
'So, how was it?'
' How was it? How was it? It was bloody brilliant, the rest of the team are all guys' squealed Emilia
'So you like it then?' laughed Hermione, dipping her quill in her inkpot.
'Oh yeah, and I met one of THE sexiest Quidditch players alive' ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ TO BE CONTINUED.. A/N: I apologise for the short-ness of the chapters, and PuddlemereChaser, I didn't use the same team names as you for two reasons, One: I didn't want my fic to be THAT similar to yours, and two: I couldn't remember them all when I wrote this.
