Beneath the surface
What lies behind us
And what lies before us
Are small matters
Compared to what lies within us.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
Chapter Nine
Author's notes: So here is another chapter, even though it's been ten whole days! (Oh MY!) Yes indeed, and I hope you like this and please review!
When she got there, no one she knew was there. Sarah signed, but she remembered that one had to be on the quittage team or have top (100%) marks to be in this class. She looked around and saw a few Slytherin, a few huffle puffs, a few Gryffindor' and a few raven claws.
"Are all these people on the quittage teams?" She asked a raven claw boy she was standing besides. "Yea, were all the quittage players, but who are you?" He asked, trying to figure out who she was. "Sarah, fifth year, just transferred here. I got top marks at y old school, and I was a chaser, that's why I'm here," Sarah paused. "But aren't you all missing someone?" She asked.
"All our seekers come in at different times. I'm not exactly sure why, I heard they get eye checkups done, or something," He said. "I'm John, by the way, I'm the Raven claw beater, and would you like to come to a practice one day? We lost one of our chasers, maybe you could try out, if you wanted," John said, not trying to be pushy.
"Sure, I'd love to!" Sarah smiled. Class started though they didn't get to fly much, or at least not that day. They did learn a lot about flying safety and such.
After advanced flying, Sarah had Defense against the Dark arts (DADA), which was with Sandy. She sat down and listened to the longest, most drawn out boring speech she had ever heard. Thankfully it was over soon and Sarah ran to her room, she had been waiting all after noon to read those library books, and now she finally had time to crack one open and read it.
When she opened the first book she had taken out, she took off her locket and looked at the boy inside. "I'll see you soon, Dylan," She slowly said to the picture of the boy with skin a tint of blue, "I miss you."
Read the first book, 'the sea's people,' she got a lot of information which was all very useful to her. She took a break after finishing it and laid her head upon the pillow.

The next few weeks were quite boring. But the day of the raven claw quittich tryouts Sarah was terribly overjoyed. There were two other people trying out. One was another 6th year, a male, and the other was a female in her 3rd year.
John walked up to the three, a broom stick in hand, "I'm sorry but because of resolved problems, we don't need another player, terribly sorry." John stopped in front of them as they let off a sigh. The other two turned and left, barley shaken. "JOHN I CAN'T BELIEVE-" Sarah was interrupted. "Sarah, our old player came back, but we want you to be a spare," John said, recovering from the loud noise.
"What-" Sarah froze. "We have another spare, when some one's ill you can take there place and you get to help with our practices," he paused. "And you get this," he gave Sarah the fire bolt 5000 he had been caring in his hand. "I-" she couldn't find the words to thank him. "Th-" she started. "THANK YOU!" She cried and hugged him, very happy indeed.
"Common, lets start practice!" Someone yelled. John grabbed another broom stick and flew up. Sarah jumped on her new gift and smoothly took it up and up, until she was with her new team, and she was very grateful for this.

"So now you're like a substitute for the team?" Erin asked, sitting beside Sarah at the dinner table for the raven claws. "Yes I am, but don't tell anyone," Sarah said, acting oddly shy. "Okay, I'll see you in class tomorrow then," Erin got up for the table, Sarah nodded, and Erin went back to her own table.
Author's notes: Me oh my, what do you know! She's on the team! Well what did you think? Do you like it? Hate it? I care what you think so tell me, by reviewing! Thanks for reading!
