Chapter Two: A Slytherin Beater

While being led to the Slytherin Common Room, strangely enough by Malfoy, Kae was again complaining. This time, the castle walls were built in a terrible way.

"Would you mind putting a sock in it?" Malfoy growled after a while. Kae stopped and looked at him.

"What?"

"Shut up!" Malfoy explained. Kae's face went blank. There he was. That boy who looked like his mother had licked back his hair and he went on telling her what to do. Now that was something that didn't happen everyday. Not only had she run away from her last school but she'd also found someone in this school to compete with.

"Hello?" Malfoy waved his hand in front of Kae's face. She snapped out of her trance.

"What is with you?" Malfoy asked. Kae looked at him. Malfoy's stomach gave a turn. He knew that look. It was the same as his father had when he disapproved of something Draco had done. Malfoy unwillingly took a step back.

Kae sneered and then pushed past him. She stepped onto a staircase that began moving away.

"See ya later, ferret-boy" she said and hopped off the staircase at the bottom.

"Ferret-boy" Goyle said and snorted a laugh.

"Shut it" Malfoy growled and instantly Goyle's laugh quieted down. Malfoy watched Kae reach the Slytherin Common Room and before entering, he saw her turn and wink.

"See? See? I knew it. I knew that retched person would go to Slytherin. I told you, didn't I?" Hermione told Harry, Ron and anyone in a radius of twenty feet.

Harry and Ron nodded and blushed under the looks of the others.

"What are you talking about?" Lavender Brown asked and sat down next to Hermione. Pavati Patil sat down on Lavender's other side.

"That girl, the one who was complain about how much better Wolfsberg was? The one with the blond hair?" Hermione said. Lavender and Pavati nodded.

"Well, she's my cousin. Dreadful person."

"Oh. Your cousin? Last year Professor Trewlawney said…"

"I don't care what that woman said" Hermione growled and leaned back over her book. Lavender and Pavati looked at Ron and Harry who just shrugged and then turned back to their game of chess.

"That's your Quidditch team?" Kae asked loudly and looked over to where the team had gathered to talk about training sessions. She had asked the question so loudly, that Malfoy, Raid, the new captain, and another player called Botch, who was a Beater, looked over.

"What's the problem with my team?" Raid asked. Kae snorted.

"What's the problem with your team? How come all you players are big and stocky, apart from Golden Boy, that is?" A thin line of pink appeared on Malfoy's face.

"What do you know?" Raid asked. No one had questioned Flint's way of putting up the team and Raid had put his brand new team up just as well as Flint had, Malfoy being the only former player.

"I think there should be at least two smaller players on the team. And female players. Not that I'd want to play on you team" she added wrinkling her nose.

"What?" Raid looked over at his team. He'd teach that girl a lesson. "Then you're on the team. Botch, you're out." Kae smirked. Was this guy just pretending to be stupid.

"Let's see how you play then" Raid said. "We train tomorrow, right after lessons." With that he strode off to the dormitories.

"I'll be there, boss!" Kae yelled after him as he slammed the door. Malfoy walked over to her as soon as the crowd had settled back from Raid and Kae's 'conversation'.

"Can you play Quidditch?" he asked rather arrogant.

"I was nearly on the German team. Good enough for you?"

"As a Beater?"

"No, as a Seeker. Of course I was a Beater. Why would I want to go chasing after a little golden ball or throw a heavy ball through a tiny hoop, when I can whack people off their brooms?" she said and flipped open her copy of Painful Bewitchments by Riana Lest. "What's your position, Golden Boy?"

"I'd prefer it if you called me by my name." Kae rolled her eyes the copy still in hand.

"Yes, Master Malfoy" she said her voice dripping in sarcasm.

"I'm the Seeker" Malfoy said. Kae snorted.

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just the last Seeker I knew had a Bludger to his head, the other to his leg and he swallowed the Snitch." Malfoy raised in eyebrows.

"Only Potter is as stupid to stuff a Snitch in his mouth" Malfoy mumbled. Kae's face cringed.

"Oh. Potter. I don't like him" she said as if it where a given. Malfoy's eyes lighted.

"Neither do I. He's Gryffindor's Seeker, by the way." Kae laughed making a few people in closer surrounding turned and give Malfoy strange looks.

"A little competition never hurts, does it?" Kae asked Malfoy. "Hope you've showed him whose boss." Malfoy blushed again.

"At your silence" Kae said as she hadn't looked up to see the pink. "I guess not. Then I might just have a target" she added mumbling.

"Harry, Ron" Angelina called the two over the room. The two of them joined their fellow Quidditch players.

"What's the matter, Angelina?" Ron asked. It was his second year as a Keeper, since Oliver Wood had left. Angelina sighed and held up a playing chart.

"We're to play Sytherin this year. They have a whole new team, and of course their Malfoy-paid Firebolts. One of the players has a different model but it's just as fast. Apparently it has a better balance though."

"A whole new team?" Harry looked at the playing list.

"Malfoy's still there" Angelina said and tipped at the boy's name. Harry sighed. "But their new Chaser's aren't that advanced, that gives you an advantage, Ron, and their Keeper is down right bad, I've heard" she continued. "Only their Beaters seem to be okay. We'll be training tomorrow. After Syltherin."

There… another chapter…

To my er… two reviews: cousins can have the same surname, I myself have two. Hermione's paternal uncle is Kae's father…

And to the other review… I was in a HP hype after I read that book too… I went and bought myself the DVDs and can't get over looking at the parts with Tom Felton… ^^

Whatever… I hoped you liked this part… and as you see we have a Quidditch match coming up, yay!
