Quidditch practice
On Tuesday of the Super Troopers 2nd week at Hogwarts, sign ups for the Quidditch teams were posted. The Super Troopers both signed up for the girls' teams in their respected houses and also for the all-star team. Practice was three times a week and games were to be held on the weekends. Hufflepuff trained on Tuesdays Thursdays and Fridays, Ravenclaw trained on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and for some unknown reason Slytherin and Gryffindor both trained on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The pitch was free to anyone during free periods
On Wednesday Sam and Alysha were sitting in their respected common rooms when who should walk past but Harry/Draco (they do this at the same time even though their on opposite sides of the castle). The wavelength thing kicks in and the girls both suddenly grab Wonder Boy/ Mr. Evol Draco at the same time and arrange (in their own ways) for Quidditch lessons at the same time
"Harry, could you meet me at the pitch at 5:30 to help me with my flying?" Sam says sweetly but as she is doing this she is twirling her swanky wand in a dangerous and frightening way like a drummer might do with a drumstick
Nodding and eyeing the wand Harry replied " Yeah, sure, no worries, Sammi"
Meanwhile, Alysha's hand shoots out and grabs Draco by the wrist. Speaking slowing like she's reminding a 6 year old to catch the bus after school she comments, "Draco, You're taking me out to the pitch at 5:30 to teach me how to fly, aren't you?"
Draco does his trademark smirk and says "Sure, whatever." Yanking his hand free he strides away trying not to look terrified.
Alysha sits back thinking for a few seconds, then realizes what happened. She begins to smack herself in the head, yelling: "I let him go, Damnit, Damnit, Damnit, DAMNIT"
Later Alysha's was relaxing on her secret balcony, looking at the lake with George the tree monkey, when Sam chucked herself out of her bedroom window at the top of the Gryffindor tower. Alysha sees her falling and dashes down the secret stair of her secret balcony, through her secret wall into her not-so-secret room down the end of the dormitory hallway.
While Sams skydiving down, Alysha whips up a batch of choc chip cookies and a potion that when added to water makes a cola-like drink. She arrives back on the secret balcony in time to see Sammi hit the bewitched water. She bounces up 10 meters and performs a swan dive before splashing into the water.
Sam climbed up an invisible ladder and onto the balcony.
"Heya"
" 'Bout bloody time. Can't you speed up that fall of yours?" Alysha complains
Sam shrugs and asked "Can I use the printer?" she refers to Alysha's massive PC setup in the corner of her room. "For the potions homework"
Alysha stated, "I didn't do it, I got stuck on the Divination. Meh, I'll do it later"
The Super Troopers wander back into Alysha's room to discover Draco staring wide-eyed at the screen-saver on her PC of the "Dancing Baby" Asking/Telling each other at once they say Draco: "Where the hell did you two come from?" Sam: "What the hell are you doing in my friends room?" Alysha: "GET ON THE BED! Uh...I mean GET THE HELL OUT!"
Sam said "You first"
Draco: "I heard about the muggle PC in here. Had to see if it was, um, true."
Sam: "So that gives you the right to go barging into someone's room"
Draco ignores the comment and said: "Ok I answered your question, now you answer mine"
Alysha and Sam exchanged glances and Alysha explains about the secret balcony and Sam's 'unique detour' to her room
Alysha: "But this is just between you, me, Nicole and Sammi. I don't want everyone knowing about my little getaway"
Draco agreed and after a quick glance at the clock Sam got all shocked at how late it was and dashed off to meet Harry for the flying lessons, but in doing so she forgot completely to tell the other two where she was going.
Alysha looked at Draco and shrugged Draco shrugged back
They grabbed their brooms (Draco's, a Firebolt 300, Alysha's, a Firebolt 900) and headed for the pitch
As soon as Sam stepped out on to the pitch she knew Alysha was there. It was one of those strange things the two know. She looked across the field and saw her best friend and the hottest guy on the planet, Draco Malfoy
As soon as Loosha walked out onto the grass, She knew that Sam was there. She looked up to see her best friend looking at her wide-eyed. Harry was with her. Both girls felt the two boys stiffen at the sight of each other. UH-OH
Draco: "Hey Sam, Scar Head" Harry: "Hey Alysha, Ferret boy"
The girls exchanged greetings and they sensed a fight brewing between our two favorite guys. Alysha mouthed to Sam "Do something damnit" while the boys glared at each other oblivious to what's going on around them
Sam: "Uh, Harry, you can take me up on the broom now. Maybe you could also give me some seeker pointers later Draco. Ok, then, lets go." She grabbed Harry by the shoulders and dragged him across the pitch while he's still glowering and glaring at Mr. Evol Draco
Alysha: "Come on Draco, it'll be dark soon" she grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the opposite end of the pitch to her best friend and Wonder Boy. "Lets go!"
Mr. Evol Draco and Wonder Boy growled at each other for a while longer before turning to follow their girl.
Loosha and Sam shot 'phew' looks over their shoulders and jumped on to their brooms. Fortunately no further incidents occurred.
Alysha caught on to the whole flying thing a lot quicker than Sam, But she played dumb a little, ok a LOT to get the extra attention from her "tutor"
A while later, when Sam was getting seeker tips from Draco, and Harry was putting a placid spell on the snitch for Sam to practice with, Alysha decided to launch herself off the grandstand.
(They exclaim in shock and fear) Harry: "HOLY SHIT" Draco: "HOLY SHIT" And Sam decides this is a good time to look at her nails
Sam: "I soooo need a manicure" Draco looks at her and said, "Aren't you worried about Alysha?" Sam: "She's done worse"
Draco looked back to Alysha and him and Harry held their breath and prayed that Alysha had the brains to not challenge gravity, as it always seems to win. Funny that.
Thankfully, Alysha flipped in mid air, and jumped onto her broom, pulling up just before hitting the ground. Harry and Draco let out their lungfuls of air in a rush and they dashed over to her. Sam followed rolling her eyes
The two boys ranted and raved at Alysha for a number of minutes about how stupid (blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda)that was before Sam got there. One glance at Alysha's face and she grabbed her broom and headed for the stands to have a go herself
Half an hour, later Harry and Draco (co-operating for a change) were taking turns belting a bludger back and forth to Alysha, whilst the other one showed Sam some valuable tricks for seeking. The Session ended with no fights between Wonder Boy and Mr. Evol Draco, and Harry with a sore head from an off-course bludger that Alysha had hit. Oopsie!
Sam and Harry headed back to the Tower, skipping arm in arm like a pair of drunken schoolgirls, while Draco headed back to the Dungeons, Thumb-warring with Alysha.
