Chapter 9: Boundaries
Oliver sighed, "My brain told me that no one could play Quidditch without the uniform." He thought, 'Nice save.'
"Oh...Ok." Chanse said, "Well...Good night." Chanse said a little uneasy.
"Yeah, good night." Oliver blushed.
Oliver started up the stair when Chanse said, "Hey Oliver,"
Oliver quickly stopped and responded, "Yeah?" He ran back down the stairs to Chanse.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm the new Keeper for the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team." She stood up very proudly and smiled.
Oliver's shoulders dropped and then he hit Chanse, "That's awesome!"
"Yeah," She hit Oliver back, and they both laughed. "Well...I just wanted to tell you that so you knew who your Keeper compotation was for tomorrow's game" She smiled at him. Then she turned and started to walk up the stairs.
Half way up the stairs she stopped and yelled over at Oliver, "Good night."
"Good night." Oliver yelled back, Chanse tried to look for him but couldn't see him. She shrugged her shoulders and walked to the Ravenclaw entrance.
"Snufflup." The painting swung open and Chanse walked through. She walked down the hallway and turned into her room.
She walked into the room and stopped, and heard some soft music coming from up on the loft. She walked up to the loft and saw Cho sitting up in her bed with Chanse's stereo on her bed. "What you doing Cho?"
"Listening to your CD player." Chanse walked over to Cho's bed and sat down; she listened carefully to the CD player.
She heard some lines from her favorite song, Vertical Horizon, Everything You Want...'He's everything you want, He's everything you need, He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be.'
Chanse looked down stomach, and closed her eyes, and a quick image of Oliver smiling on the stairs, flashed through her. Chanse shook her, and stood up and walked over to her bed.
'Why am I thinking about Oliver?' Chanse thought. She crawled into bed, and laid on her back, and rapped her arms around her stomach. She closed her eyes and rolled over, and thought about how Oliver had his hands around her stomach and was holding her tight and protecting her. She opened her and blinked a tear.
"So where'd you go?" Cho asked.
Chanse quickly wiped her tear, and rolled back over. "To see some friends and tell them my good news."
"Oh...By the way congrats."
"Yeah thanks. I told you I knew what I was doing." Chanse laughed.
"Oh yeah, on your dresser is your quidditch uniform. You have to wear it; otherwise you can't play, well actually you just really need to wear the colors of your team, the pads are for protection but I suggest you wear them. Cause we need you and we don't want you to get hurt, and it gets pretty nasty out there." Cho smiled, "Madam Hooch dropped it off about thirty minutes ago or so."
"Oh thanks..." Chanse rolled over, then back over and faced Cho, "Your probably going to help me tomorrow to put it on, I've never worn one before, as you probably guessed." Chanse laughed.
"No problem. Well we should get some sleep so we can play well tomorrow. So...good night, Chanse. And congratulations again."
"Thanks, good night Cho." Cho turned off the lights and Chanse rolled back over and closed her eyes and listened to the music and fell fast asleep.
Chanse woke up the next morning to Cho screaming. Chanse sat straight up, and looked around for Cho. "Cho?" Chanse jumped out of bed, "Where are you?" She looked around, in circle.
Cho walked out from the bathroom, in her Quidditch uniform, smiling. Chanse jumped off the loft and run over to Cho and grabbed her arms, "Are you ok? I heard you screaming!" Cho began to laugh, "Is that the Quidditch uniform?" Cho nodded, "Oh. Ok..."Chanse started to smile then quickly she stopped and yelled, "What was wrong? Why were you screaming?!"
"I was starting to sing, The Ravenclaw Quidditch Good Luck Chant. The first person up, on a Ravenclaw Quidditch game, gets up and screams," Chanse looked at Cho like she was crazy.
"What?! Why would you do that?" Chanse sat down on the loft stairs and watched Cho brush her hair, and listen to her explain why.
"See, what happens is, every time there a Ravenclaw quidditch game, the first person up, on the Ravenclaw quidditch team, they start to sing as loud as they can." Right as Cho said that hers and Chanse's neighbor started to scream the chant.
Chanse looked over at the wall, and heard her neighbors screaming the chant, and all Chanse did was shake her head. Cho stopped brushing her hair, and laugh, and pointed the brush at the wall, "Then slowly, the first person up's, neighbor wakes up, and starts to sing along, with them. Then their neighbor starts to sing along, it becomes a chain." Cho smiled, and went back to brushing her hair, "By the time we're done with the chant, the whole Ravenclaw house is up." Cho started to yell along with her neighbor.
"Well," Chanse laughed, "How am I suppose to sing, scream, yell, along? I don't know the chant!"
"Here," Cho walked over to Chanse and handed her a piece of paper, with the chant on it. Chanse looked at it, and began to sing.
"Ravenclaw, the blue and bronze, witty," Cho finished brushing her hair, and pulled it back into a ponytail and looked over at Chanse, and watched her sing, in her mirror, "charming..." Chanse continued to sing.
"Hey, Chanse you should get ready." Cho said and walked over and sat down next to Chanse.
Chanse looked at herself, and she was still in her pajamas. She stood up, and walked over to dresser, and began to sing the chant and brush her hair. But when she started to pull her hair back into a ponytail, she really got into the chant, and began to yell it, and Cho walked up next to her and put her hand on her shoulder, Chanse turned and looked at her and smiled, then she turned back around and faced the mirror, all Cho did was laugh.
The chant finished and Chanse put the final touches on her face, then she looked into the mirror and smiled, "Ok Cho. This uniform thing, I'm going to need some help?" She turned and looked at Cho who already had the uniform in her hands, and handed to Chanse.
"Sure." Cho walked over to Chanse, "Well, really, the only thing you'll need help with is the pads." Chanse nodded and went into the bathroom and changed into her clothes and came back out, and walked over to Cho, who stood up in front of Chanse.
"Ok, this is right...right?" Cho laughed, nodded, and sat down and moved the pads next to her. She sat down on the ground and first picked up the leg pads.
"First, you place the pad up against your leg," Cho took the pad and pushed it onto Chanse's left leg, "and take the strap," she picked up a strap, and held it up in the air, "and tie it around your leg." She did as she said.
"Now you try it with your right leg." Cho handed Chanse the pad and scooted back. Chanse looked at the pad, and then looked down at Cho, who smiled. Then Chanse shrugged her shoulders and placed the pad against her leg. Then she picked the strap up and rapped it around her leg. She looked at Cho, who smiled, "Good."
Cho stood up, "Now hand me one of your arms." Chanse stuck her right arm out, and Cho picked up a, glove looking pad and stood up, "First, you slide your hand through the glove, like this." Cho pushed the arm pad onto Chanse's arm, "is that tightly on?" Chanse nodded. "Ok, now that the glove is tightly on, you're going to take the first strap, " Cho held up the strap closest to Chanse, "and take it around your arm and clamp it down, like so." Cho took the strap around Chanse's arm and then she showed Chanse where the clamp was, and clamped it down. "Now, your going to take this strap, which is the trickiest strap of the whole uniform, you're going to take it up, and in between your thumb and index finger, and bring it back around, and clamp it down." Cho did has she said and then looked at Chanse, and handed her the other glove.
Chanse took it and pulled it tightly onto her arm, and then she took the first strap and rapped it around her arm and clamped it down. She looked up at Cho to make sure she was doing it right; Cho nodded. Chanse looked back down and then continued to put on the glove. She took the tricky strap and started to go over her thumb, "No, stop!" Cho said grabbing Chanse's hand. "You go in between, not under or over, the thumb, ok?" Chanse nodded and went in between her thumb, and index finger, and snapped it. "Good, now you're all suited up."
Cho walked Chanse over to the full length mirror, "Welcome, Chanse Jackson..."
"Please, I'm on your team now. Call me Fox, just Fox. But outside sports it's Chanse." She smiled.
"O...k. Well, then. Welcome, Fox, to the Ravenclaw Quidditch team." Chanse smiled and turned around and hugged Cho. "We better get going." They both grabbed their brooms and ran downstairs.
Once downstairs they saw the whole Quidditch team waiting for the two of them to come down. "Sorry, I needed help with the uniform." Everyone nodded.
"It's ok," Roger, said, and turned around to the whole team, "You guys ready to beat Gryffindor?" The whole Quidditch team yelled and shouted.
Roger led the team out of the house, and once they were out in the Ravenclaw hallway, the whole Ravenclaw house was standing in the hallway clapping for them. Cheers of good luck came from everyone. One by one the team walked down the hallway, then down the stairs, but the whole time Chanse was just breathing deeply. They walked across the courtyard in a single file line, towards the quidditch stadium.
Outside the stadium the team stopped, and did a head count to make sure that everyone was there. After they were sure, they walked in and instead of heading straight, like Chanse had to when she challenged Stewart, they turned right and walked down a small dark hallway.
Once at the end they stood behind a big wooden door, and Roger began to speak to his team, "Ok Ravenclaw, I just want you to try your hardest, and give it everything you've got." everybody nodded, "Now, let's get into order!" Roger shouted at his team. Everyone started to move around, and move into a straight line. Chanse watched everyone move into an orderly line, and all she did was watch them and stand next to Cho.
Cho nudged Chanse, "Chanse...what are you doing? Get in line!" Cho laughed.
"Where do I go, though?" Cho looked at Chanse like she had grown another eye.
"You're the Keeper, right?" Chanse nodded, "So that means you're up in the front, behind the team captain, and that would be Roger." Cho said sarcastically.
Chanse rolled her eyes, and started to walk up towards Roger. Cho shook her head, and grabbed Chanse's head, "Hey, sorry, I said that meanly...I forgot that you're new." Chanse put her hand on Cho's shoulder.
"It's ok, thanks." Chanse smiled, and ran up to Roger, and stood behind him.
Chanse stopped behind Roger, and she heard a small click sound. She looked down on the ground and saw a piece of her glove on the ground. She quickly bent down and picked it up, and then she turned her right glove and saw that her first clasp had broken off. "CHO!" Chanse yelled as she ran down to Cho.
"What?! Get back in..."
"My first right clasp broke!" Cho grabbed Chanse's right arm and looked at the clasp.
Cho through her arms in the air, "God, it had to be the first clasp not the second one." She sighed.
"What? Is it worse if the first is broken, and not the second one?"
"Yeah! The first clasp holds on the glove, unlike the second one, it just keeps it tight around your arm."
Chanse looked down at the ground in disappointment, then she looked back up at Cho smiling, "I can still play," Cho started to protested that idea, "its ok I can play with this broken clasp...Hey, if I can play with no pads I can play with a broken one." Cho rolled her eyes, and Chanse ran back up behind Roger.
"Ok team, who's going to say or sing something to the team, for luck?" Everyone looked around.
"Chanse, will!" Cho shouted. Everyone looked over at Chanse who was trying to get her glove to stay on.
"What?"
"Ok Chanse...go ahead say something to the team for luck."
"Why?"
"It's a tradition, for someone on the quidditch, right before every game, to say something to the team for inspiration."
"Oh. Ok." Chanse thought about something she could say, "Can I sing?" Roger nodded yes. Chanse thought quickly of something she could sing.
" Oh, here we go; Everyone falls in love sometime, Sometimes it's wrong, and sometimes it's right, For every win, someone must fail, But there comes a point when, When we exhale (yeah, yeah, say), Sometimes you'll laugh, Sometimes you'll cry, Life never tells us, the when's or why's, When you've got friends, to wish you well, You'll find your point when, You will exhale (yeah, yeah, say)"
Everyone looked around at each other and then they all went insane for Chanse's singing, they yelled and clapped.
"Thank you, Chanse...that was awesome." Roger set his hand down on Chanse's shoulder, and Chanse blushed.
"Ready team?" Roger yelled. The whole team yelled back.
Roger turned back around and the doors opened. A rush of light filled, where the Ravenclaw Quidditch players were standing.
Roger turned and looked back at his team, then he started to walk out. Chanse just stood there looking around, at all the people yelling and cheering.
They entered the field, and Roger mounted his broom, and flew up into the air. Chanse looked around, and then someone behind her nudged her forward.
Chanse shook her head, to knock her out of her daze, and jumped onto her broom and flew up into the air.
Chanse looked around at all the Gryffindor players, and evilly smiled. She caught Oliver's eye and he smiled at her, and signaled her to come over to him. She looked him over like he was setting a trap for him, but she still flew over to him, "You ready to lose?" Oliver asked with a cocky look on his face, "You know you're taking a big chance playing against Gryffindor. We're the ruling quidditch house, you know." Oliver straightened up on his broom, and stuck out his chest.
Chanse looked at him, "No I didn't know that." Then she got in his face, "Two things, Oliver: One, my name is Chanse, so I'm use to taking chances. Two, I are YOU ready to lose?" Chanse looked Oliver over, "Easy." She said muttered softly, but loud enough for Oliver to hear.
Oliver looked back at Chanse, and then looked her over; he saw her right glove and picked it up, "Your clasp is broken." Oliver said a little snotty. Chanse pulled her arm away from him, and moved her hand over the broken clasp, and rolled her eyes, and then she flew away.
Oliver quickly called his team over, "Chanse's right clasp is broken. So try to go for the right side goals." Angelina looked at Oliver like he had over step over a secret boundary. She shook her head and flew away before anyone else on the team. Oliver looked down, and then he looked back up at Chanse. She was flying back towards her goal, and messing with her broken glove.
Chanse's shoulders dropped and she looked around and saw all these people cheering and waving. She smiled and let out a little laugh, and forgot all about her broken clasp, and flew quickly in front of her goal.
A few minutes later, Madam Hooch walked out onto the field and said something to the teams, but Chanse couldn't hear her.
Madam Hooch bent down and opened the quidditch box and tossed all the balls up into the air, and walked off on to the sidelines.
All the players flew around madly...
Oliver sighed, "My brain told me that no one could play Quidditch without the uniform." He thought, 'Nice save.'
"Oh...Ok." Chanse said, "Well...Good night." Chanse said a little uneasy.
"Yeah, good night." Oliver blushed.

"Yeah," She hit Oliver back, and they both laughed. "Well...I just wanted to tell you that so you knew who your Keeper compotation was for tomorrow's game" She smiled at him. Then she turned and started to walk up the stairs.
Half way up the stairs she stopped and yelled over at Oliver, "Good night."
"Good night." Oliver yelled back, Chanse tried to look for him but couldn't see him. She shrugged her shoulders and walked to the Ravenclaw entrance.
