Chapter 7: Challenging Friends
Chanse walked into the Ravenclaw house, and saw all the Ravenclaw housemates sitting around in the Ravenclaw Commons Room, "Everyone's waiting for The Grey lady to make her annual New Year speech, which welcomes all the new Ravenclaws." Roger said. He walked over and stood on a chair, "May I have your attention Ravenclaw House. I would like to introduce a new sixth year student, Chanse Jackson." He pointed to Chanse who was standing next to the chair. She waved at the house.
"Hello." She smiled.
"Helllllo Chanse" a very sorrow filled voice said. All the old students of Ravenclaw smiled with excitement, and the new years and Chanse looked around trying to figure out who said that. "Nooow Roger don't stand on a chair you could fall."
"Yes, Grey Lady." Roger got down off the chair and leaned over to Chanse, "That's the house ghost Grey Lady."
Chanse nodded and listened, and watched a shadow of the Grey Lady fly around the room. "Do you ever see the Grey Lady?" Chanse asked Roger
"No, only her shadow." At the end of the Grey Lady's speech, she ended it with:
"Tooo all my new children and old children, have a greeeat yeeear." Then a huge gust of wind came through the house, and the shadow disappeared, everyone screamed and shouted.
A few seconds later a girl got up on a stool and started to talk, "Hello, Ravenclaws. My name is Penelope Clearwater; I'm what's called the house perfect." Penelope laughed, "Anyways, welcome to Ravenclaw.
If you every need help come to me, or any of the other older students." she smiled, "Don't be shy; we're all family here.
Well, as for house arrangements, girls, your rooms are up the staircase and to the right. As for the boys go up the staircase and turn left.
All new students are to occupy rooms that are marked with your name on it. If you would like to change rooms please inform someone. All your stuff should be waiting for you up in your marked rooms, if something not there tell someone," she laughed again, "Enjoy."
Everyone clapped and Penelope got down from the stool and walked over to Chanse, "As for you Chanse, a girl named Cho Chang doesn't have a roommate, and you're her new roommate now. Your stuff is in your room. A little info about Cho; she's the Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team." Then Penelope walked away with Roger.
Chanse walked up the stairs toward her room she walked down another long hallway, looking at every door's label, and then she finally reached the door that was marked Cho Chang & Foxlin Jackson. "God." Chanse shook her head and opened her purse, and looked for a pen. She found one and scribbled out Foxlin and wrote Chanse above it. "That's more like it."
Chanse knocked on the door and, a voice yelled, "What?"
"Um...I'm your new roommate, Chanse Jackson."
"Oh come on in, it's your room too." Chanse opened the door and saw a room, and she looked around and was amazed in how cool the room was.
Its lower level was like a small living room, and then the two beds were up on the loft. "Wow! This is awesome." Chanse walked up onto the loft and laid down her stuff down on the right side bed. "Cho? Where are you?"
"I'm out on the deck." Chanse walked outside onto a deck that over looked the courtyard, she looked over and saw a girl standing there watching all the students out in the courtyard. "Hey, you're Chanse, right?"
"Yeah."
"Hey, as you know I'm Cho." Cho walked over to Chanse and gave her a hug. Chanse turned around and went back inside and unpacked everything and put everything in its place. When she was done she looked around and was very proud of herself.
"Hey, Cho, I'm going to go downstairs, see ya."
"Bye"
Chanse walked downstairs to the Ravenclaw Commons Room, where she stopped and looked at all the Ravenclaw housemates, and smiled. "Where can I find Stewart Ackerley?" Everybody looked up from what they were doing and looked at her. Chanse looked around waiting for someone to respond to her, but no one did.
Then, finally, a big, tall, muscular guy stood up and walked over and got up in her face. "I'm Stewart, what do you want?"
"One," she lightly pushed Stewart out of her face, "you can get out of my face. Two, I want to challenge you for the spot of Keeper." All the Ravenclaws looked around at each other, then looked up at the two of them, and whispered.
"What'd you say?" Stewart laughed.
"You heard me. I want to challenge you." Chanse looked at him very seriously.
"No, you don't."
"Oh yes I do," Chanse started to walk to the entrance, and said on the way there, "Maybe you don't want to be challenge by a girl, because you're scared of losing to me, but it's ok Stewart...It's ok to be scared." Chanse reached the door when Stewart yelled.
"What? Me scared of you?" Chanse smiled and turned around, and nodded. "You're on. Today, the Quidditch field, at four, first one to be scored on five times loses. Is that ok with you, your bitchyness?"
"Just peachy with me." Chanse smiled and turned around and walked out of the house.
Chanse started to walk down the hallway when she looked at her watch, "Two o'clock already! I'm supposed to meet Oliver at the Great Hall, now!" Chanse ran down the hall and walked down the stairs as fast as she could, without falling.
Right as Oliver was about to leave, from where he was standing, Chanse came running down the stairs. "Sorry...I'm...late." Chanse caught her breath, "Guess what!" Oliver shrugged his shoulders. Chanse looked at him and hit his arm, "Well your no fun...I challenged the Keeper of Ravenclaw, Stewart Ackerley, for his position."
"What? Wow! Great. Maybe you and I will play each other, sometime." Oliver laughed and nudged Chanse, who laughed back, "So how'd you get the Quidditch uniform without my help? You probably had one before you came here."
"Quidditch uniform?"
"Yeah, you know the thing you wear to protect yourself for being bludgered to death?"
"Oh I don't have one of those..." Oliver's jaw dropped.
"You need a Quidditch uniform to play Quidditch! Come on let's go get you some."
Before Chanse could tell Oliver that she had never played with a uniform on, Oliver grabbed her hand and ran down to Madam Hooch's office. He busted through her doors. "What the hell!" Madam Hooch stood up, "Oliver what's wrong?" Oliver caught his breath and began to tell the story.
"This is Chanse Jackson," Chanse waved and Madam Hooch who smiled at her, "she challenged Stewart Ackerley, for the position of Keeper on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team,"
"Congratulations and good luck." Madam Hooch said with a smile. Chanse nodded.
"The challenge is at four, Madam."
"I'm sorry; I don't see the problem, Wood."
"She doesn't have a uniform!"
"Oh, that is a problem. Well Miss. Jackson, please, step over here and hold out your arms and spread your legs, so that I can get your measurements and get you the right uniform." Chanse walked over by Madam Hooch and spread her legs and held out her arms.
While Madam Hooch measured Chanse, Oliver went and sat down; "Please, Chanse take a seat while I get your uniform." Chanse walked over to the chairs and sat down. Madam Hooch walked back into her closet, and a few minutes later she came back out with a scared look on her face.
"What is it Madam Hooch?" Oliver asked.
"I don't have any her size in stock, Wood. I need to order more." Oliver's eyes got really large and looked at Chanse, with a scared look upon his face.
"I..." Chanse started to say.
"Well, then, Chanse, you can't go through with the challenge. You could get hurt, or worse killed."
"Oliver can I speak?" Chanse shouted, Oliver nodded, "Thank you. I don't need the uniform." Oliver's jaw dropped, "I never practiced without one, if I've never used one why do I need one now?
"But..." Oliver started to say. Chanse stood up and walked over and stood in front of Oliver and put her hands on her hips.
"I'll be fine." Oliver still looked worried, "I'm going through with the challenge." Chanse walked out of the office, and turned around and nodded to Madam Hooch who nodded back. She gave a quick glance at Oliver who just watched her leave.
"Madam aren't you going to stop her?" Oliver yelled.
"No." "But..." Madam Hooch walked over to Oliver.
"She's going to do this...I can feel it.
Wood, you need to listen to your gut feeling, and stop thinking with your heart and brain. Go with your gut, for your friend's sake. What's it say?"
"That she's going to do this." Oliver looked down at the ground. "Thank you, Madam, sorry again for disturbing you."
Madam Hooch nodded and the Oliver stood up and walked out of the room shutting the door behind him.
Oliver ran as fast as he could down to Chanse, who was heading up to the Ravenclaw house, to get ready for the challenge. "Chanse, wait." Oliver yelled, still running after her.
But the faster he ran, the faster Chanse ran away. Oliver ran after her, but she was too far ahead of him.
Chanse finally reached the Ravenclaw house entrance, "Snufflup" The painting swung open.
Chanse walked in and everyone turned and looked at her, she stopped and looked at everyone, then she took a deep breath and slowly walked up the stairs to her room.
Once Chanse was inside her room, she slipped into her running shorts and sports bra. "What are you thinking challenging, Stewart Ackerley?" Cho yelled.
"I can do it, Cho. Trust me I know what I'm doing."
"I hope so. Where's your uniform?"
"I don't have one." Cho's jaw dropped, and was about to say something to Chanse but before she could Chanse was already out the door with her broom heading towards the Quidditch field.
Chanse ran down the stairs and out of the Ravenclaw house and walked as fast as she could down the stairs.
About half way down the stairs she saw Oliver was waiting for her. She let out a sigh and walked as fast as she could down the stairs.
When she got to the bottom of the stair she jogged by Oliver, "Chanse..." Chanse kept up her speed, but Oliver grabbed her hand.
Chanse turned to Oliver, and looked at Oliver's hand around Chanse's wrist. "Oliver, let me go."
"Chanse let me explain." Oliver pleaded.
"Oliver save it. I don't want to hear you try to talk me out of this; I want this too badly. And if you're not going to support me, then just leave me alone." Oliver let go and then Chanse and leaded against the wall and watched her jog down the front stairs, and towards the quidditch field.
"I do support you." Oliver softly said, and looked down at the ground and started to walk up the stairs up to the Gryffindor house.
Chanse headed towards the Quidditch field, and once she was outside it, she caught her breath, and looked up at the huge stadium. She took a deep breath and slowly walked in.
Once she was in the stadium, she looked around and saw that the whole Ravenclaw Quidditch Team was waiting for her, in the sky.
Chanse mounted her broom and flew up to them, "Where's your uniform, Chanse?" Roger asked.
"Don't have one, don't need one, don't care, let's just play" Chanse shrugged. The whole Quidditch team looked at each other then looked at her like she was crazy.
Roger rolled his eyes, "O...k. here's the deal...
There are one beater and one chaser per person. First one to be scored on five times loses.
For Stewart Beater he has Mandy Brocklehurst, and his Chaser is Master Stebbins. For Chanse's Beater she has Terry Boot, and her Chaser is me. Take your places, keepers."
Everyone flew to a certain goal. Stewart's goal was the right goal; Chanse's goal was the left. "Keepers ready?" Both Chanse and Stewart nodded.
"Beaters ready?" Terry and Mandy nodded.
"Chasers ready?" Master nodded. "Players ready...Set...GO!" Roger screamed.
Roger threw the ball at Chanse; she blocked it.
Master threw the ball at Stewart he blocked it, too. Mandy hit the ball towards Stewart's broomstick. He hit it back.
Terry hit the ball at Chanse's head. She hit it back, too. Master threw the ball; it went through.
Roger threw it; Chanse stopped it. Terry hit the ball at Chanse's head again; she hit it back as hard has she could.
It came flying back into Terry's head, it knocked him unconscious, and he began to fall, he fell right off his broomstick.
Quickly Chanse did a nosedive as fast as she could, and right before Terry almost hit the ground, she caught him.
*DING*
Master made a point.
*DING*
Roger made a point.
*DING*
Master made another point.
*DING*
Roger made another point on Chanse.
Chanse looked up at Roger who had gotten the ball back and was getting ready to throw it. Chanse flew back up as fast as she could and blocked the ball just before it went in.
She smirked at Roger. Roger gritted his teeth and grabbed the ball and began throwing it as hard as he could.
*DING*
Master made another point.
"Give up yet, Stewart?" Chanse asked, as she blocked Roger's throw.
"Never!" He yelled back, as he hit the ball back at Master, and after hitting it he spun around a couple of times. Chanse just laughed and kept blocking the ball.
The score was now four points against Stewart, two points against Chanse.
*DING*
The last point was finally made on Stewart.
Stewart Ackerley lost and Chanse Jackson had won the position of Keeper on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.
Chanse flew over to Stewart. "Good game." Stewart looked at Chanse who was smiling and holding her hand out to shake his.
"Yeah. Good game." Stewart shook her hand.
They landed and Roger walked over to Chanse and raised her arm in the air and proclaimed Chanse the new Keeper for Ravenclaw's Quidditch Team!
The Quidditch team cheered for Chanse and all Chanse could do was laugh.
That night the whole Ravenclaw house celebrated. At the end of the party Stewart Ackerley stood up and made a toast, to Chanse, "To the best Keeper I've ever seen. Even better then that Oliver Wood Keeper!" Everybody laughed and raised their glass, even Chanse.
Chanse walked into the Ravenclaw house, and saw all the Ravenclaw housemates sitting around in the Ravenclaw Commons Room, "Everyone's waiting for The Grey lady to make her annual New Year speech, which welcomes all the new Ravenclaws." Roger said. He walked over and stood on a chair, "May I have your attention Ravenclaw House. I would like to introduce a new sixth year student, Chanse Jackson."

"Yes, Grey Lady." Roger got down off the chair and leaned over to Chanse, "That's the house ghost Grey Lady."
Chanse nodded and listened, and watched a shadow of the Grey Lady fly around the room. "Do you ever see the Grey Lady?" Chanse asked Roger
