A/N: My first chapter outside of Rebeka's perspective. This one switches over to Slytherin house and Hollie takes over in the narration. I have to say that this Chapter was really fun to write. You'll see why and I'll explain more at the bottom (Does that give you incentive to read it all the way through?).
The only little tid-bit of info I have for this chapter was that this Fanfiction gave me a respect for Fanfiction writers who wrote about things on Hogwart's grounds. It's extremely hard to do, a lot harder than I though, because you have to make sure everything is as accurate as possible.
Well, on with the story!

Chapter 3:
The Good and Bad Team Players
(SLYTHERIN)
Hollie went to her first class with some older Slytherins, who told her how certain doors needed to be opened in certain ways and how the staircases moved at certain times. She was the first one in Professor Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, except for Professor Snape of course. She walked in cautiously, not wanting to make a bad impression on her first day of school. She sat in one of the back corner desks and waiting as Snape began writing things on the board behind him.
"Miss Skyelar, I presume?" He said without even turning around, she blushed a bit and stared at the back of his head.
"Um, yeah, that's me." She piped up, trying to sound confident. He turned to look at her; he glared at her like he was trying to read her.
"Eager to get started?" Snape asked again, "Not many students want to be early to one of my classes you know."
"Well, I have no idea who you are," She replied, "So I have no opinion about you yet."
The answer seemed to please him because he smirked and resumed writing on the board. After a minute more Slytherin and some Ravenclaw - the house they had this class with - began filing in. One girl with long black hair sat down next to Hollie and smiled. Her name was Marigold, but her name sounded much happier than she actually was. Her black hair constantly covered her pale face and she was never seen without somewhat of a frown. Hollie sighed, since Marigold was one of her roommates she was kind of happy to see a familiar face.
"Hollie, I'm so glad you're here, I was scared I was going to have to sit alone." Marigold exclaimed in a monotone voice.
"Yeah, me too…" Hollie looked passed Marigold's head and saw even more people piling into the class, there seemed to be 30 or 40 when everyone was done coming in. She noticed the black haired frail looking boy who got sorted into the house with her, Lee. He was talking to another girl with brownish hair, she thought her name was Tiffany. Hollie noticed Lee look over to her and give her a scowl; she began to glare back at him, not afraid of the evil kid who was so good at Quidditch. He was nice when they first started, but less then 24 hours later all of his popularity seemed to have gone to his head.
"Who does that guy think he is anyway?" Hollie spat to Marigold, who turned to look and see whom she was talking about.
"Lee Prior?" Marigold squeaked, "He's only one of the best Quidditch players in the whole world! He got his talent from his parents…they say they're going to let him be on the team without even having to try out, you know, because they need a new Beater and a new seeker."
"Really? A Seeker huh?" Hollie murmured to really no one. Hollie began to get excited; the Seeker was the one who needed to catch the Snitch - a small golden ball in Quidditch that was worth 150 points- to end the game. She could do that; she would just need to prove to the other players that she was good enough. At that moment she kind of wished that her last name were Prior.
"Hey Marigold, when's the last time you went out into the sun exactly?" Lee yelled to Marigold, who didn't answer, she just looked away.
"Really, The Goth look is so out!" A Blond girl sitting with Lee exclaimed and laughed loudly, so Marigold could hear. Hollie began to get angry and she stood up furiously.
"I wouldn't talk Lee, you look like if I touched you, you would snap like a twig." She yelled so he could hear, everyone got quiet, "When's the last time you ate a sandwich? Hate to tell you but the waif look is out."
"Excuse me?" Lee asked her, she smiled and snapped her attention to the blond girl.
"And you! Lose some weight will ya?" Hollie then sat down, "I'm shocked you don't break a chair…"
The whole class began to laugh, and Lee's group quickly shut up about Marigold. Marigold gave Holly a rare smile.
"I can't believe you stood up to them!" She said, "They've been torturing me since they saw me on the train."
"Nice Job…" A boy in front of her mumbled to her and turned around. He then turned around, he was a handsome boy with somewhat wavy black hair and a clean appearance, she guessed him as Ravenclaw because every Slytherin seemed to have a scowl plastered on their face, "I'm Jack, by the way."
"I'm Hollie, what house?"
"Slytherin." Jack answered, he must of noticed her shocked face because he then said, "Don't worry everyone is shocked. I'm guessing you're Slytherin too because no Ravenclaw would have stood up to them like that."
"HEY!!" A very tall, husky - but not fat - boy exclaimed next to him, "It's true but hey!"
"This is Jerrad, he's a Ravenclaw and a friend of mine." Jack introduced Hollie and Marigold said their hellos and the four began having a conversation.
"Okay class, settle down before I start deducting points." Snape snapped everyone to attention with his commanding voice. Now take out your books and we will begin teaching about what is expected in this class."
"Sounds like fun…" Marigold murmured to Hollie and she opened her book to the first page. Snape began telling everyone how he doesn't take slacking off well, and that this class is one of the most useful they'll ever have. She could tell that Snape was quite proud of the class he was teaching. Hollie began flipping through her book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, to see what she was in for. It seemed like Snape was more of a talker than a doer, she hoped to god she was wrong.
Snape began talking about some little wild animal called a Wigort, able to make a person blind temporarily. He taught them how to do a simple spell to ward them off, but they weren't allowed to use it just yet, they wouldn't be getting to see a Wigort for another week. Snape muttered something under his breath that it was because they were first years he had to go so slow. Hollie could tell that he didn't seem to like anyone much.
Finally class was over and Hollie had two hours before her next class, so she gathered her things and prepared to leave.
"Miss Skyelar, can you repeat the spell that I taught you today?" Snape asked her before it was time to go, the class looked at her. It was clear that she looked as though she hadn't been paying attention in class, he was trying to make her falter. This was some teacher.
"Lumos Trantum..," Hollie repeated smugly, "It shoots out a painfully bright white light that renders a Wigort helpless, but we first years will manage with just Lumos."
Snape seemed rather pleased, "Good, good. 10 points for Slytherin. Class is excused."
Hollie and Marigold began to leave, but Lee cut them off at the door. Hollie just sighed at him and crossed her arms.
"You know, you're awfully little to be sticking up for your friend here." He smiled at her with his crocked smile.
"What's your point? You get away with making fun of her…" Hollie replied and tried to push him out of the way, "Would you get out of my way."
"Word has it that you want to be on the Quidditch team." Lee began to laugh hysterically, "What makes you think they'll let you, a first year, play?"
"Because they're letting you, a first year, play." Hollie glared at him with her light blue eyes, he just glared back with his brown ones.
"But I'm different, see I'm actually good at the game." He joked, the big blond girl laughed and so did his friend Tiffany. Hollie shot the blond a look and she quickly quieted down.
"Well, we'll see won't we." Hollie rolled her eyes at him, "NOW MOVE!"
"Is there a problem here Mr. Prior?" Snape came up and stared at the two Slytherins.
"No, no problem, I was just leaving." Lee said through gritted teeth, Hollie just smiled at him.
"Good, do I need to remind you that you both are Slytherins?" Snape snapped at them with an evil scowl, "I should not have to tell you to act like it…"
Lee left with his two friends in a hurry and left Hollie standing in Snape's dungeon with a confused look. Why was he on her back all of the sudden?
"Miss Skyelar…"
Hollie turned around and saw Snape leering at her, "You want to try out for Quidditch, do you?"
"Yes, s-sir." Her voice cracking, he looked down at the notes on his desk.
"What makes you think you're good enough?" He asked her, "It is true you didn't even know about the game until this summer isn't it?"
"Yes sir, but I know I'm a good enough Seeker…" Hollie mumbled, "I don't think, I know."
Again, another answer that Snape seemed to like, "Fine, here, go to Madame Hooch as soon as possible."
Snape walked over and handed Hollie a piece of parchment. She looked down to read it:
I, Professor Severus Snape, Head of Slytherin house, hereby give Miss Hollie Skyelar permission to try out for Quidditch.
Severus Snape
Hollie looked up from the letter with a smile on her face, but Snape didn't smile back, he just leered at her like he was mad at her or something.
"T-thank you sir!" Holly exclaimed, he walked away from her.
"Yes, well, I can't do anything about if you get in or not. We'll see how good you are." He retorted and she began to walk away, "Oh, and Miss Skyelar?"
"Yes?"
"If you do get in, you had better tell your sister to stop hiding your broom under her bed." Snape didn't look at her, but she looked at him shocked. Before she could ask how he knew about it Marigold dragged her out of the room.
"Holy Cow!" Marigold proclaimed as soon as they were out of ear shot of Snape, "I've never seen Snape take to anyone like you, he must think you're something else."
"But that could be a bad thing," Hollie muttered and looked at the letter, "I think he hopes to see me fail. Bring me down somehow."
"He didn't turn you in about your broom…" Marigold reminded, "By the way, why didn't you tell me you had a broom?"
"I didn't want to get in trouble!" Hollie shouted, "But the teachers knew about it anyways."
"What kind is it?" Marigold asked excitedly.
"Nimbus X, " Holly answered with a smile, "Only second to the Xtreme 360."
"Wow!" Marigold sighed, "I love to watch Quidditch, but I hate to play it. When can you try out?"
"I can now, I don't have a class for awhile…Do you think Madame Hooch is teaching?" Hollie asked as they walked back to the Slytherin's Dungeon. A Gargoyle Statue was there waiting for them.
"Password?" It asked gruffly.
"Hiccifuss!" Marigold answered and it moved out of the way so they could pass. They both sat on the green chairs and looked around. There was hardly anyone there.
"Madame Hooch doesn't start flying classes until Wednesday," Marigold answered Hollie's question, "I think she would be on the field discussing things with Cryssy."
"Really? How do I get there?" Hollie questioned, but Marigold just shrugged.
"I can show you." A tall boy with white hair told her, making Hollie jump a little bit.
"Oh, and who are you?" Hollie asked him suspiciously.
"Jason Kreeger," He smiled at her, "I'm a Slytherin Chaser, I'm also the team captain."
"You're the team captain?" Marigold squeaked out, then leaned over to Hollie, "He is soooo cute!"
"Oh, well I have this letter from Snape…" Hollie pulled out the parchment and Jason took it from her hands to read it, "Calm down Grabby…I was gonna give it to you."
He smiled at her, "I like your attitude. I also like this letter. Madame Hooch would have only gotten me anyway, so why don't you grab a broom and we'll see if you have what it takes."
"Where would I get one?" She asked, he sighed and looked around.
"Hold on…" He then ran off up the stairs toward the guys' side of the tower. Marigold and Hollie began to talk about the white haired boy with the darker complexion while he was gone. He returned, though, within five minutes and held up two brooms.
"Here, take this one." He threw her the smaller one of the two. She noticed the other one had "Xtreme 360" written on the side in gold lettering, "It's only a Firebolt 180, but I think it will work for tryouts don't you?"
"Sure, I guess…" Hollie muttered and began to run her hands over the worn broom. Marigold stared at it eagerly.
"Can I come watch for awhile?" She asked excitedly, "I don't have a class for an hour or so."
"Sure, come along I guess…" They all began walking out of the tower and toward the field, Jason turned his head to look at them, "I should tell you that I have Lee Prior down there waiting to practice with me, is it okay that he's around?"
"Ugh, no." Hollie sighed, "But I'll deal with it."
"That's the spirit, we could use somebody like you on our team." Jason's voice suddenly turned angry, "Then maybe we could beat Gryffindor and that snotty Beth Morgan."
"Beth Morgan?" Hollie looked back to Marigold.
"Gryffindor Seeker, one of the best." Marigold said like she was reading from a textbook, "She may be tall, but she is extremely fast."
"Whose side are you on anyway?" Jason snapped at Marigold, who began to blush.
"Slytherin…" She said quietly, "But I know about all the players and -"
"Good, keep it Slytherin." He interrupted as they began heading outside.
"You could be nicer about it." Marigold mumbled and he turned to look at her, but he didn't say anything. They finally made it onto the field; it was a long stretch of grass with some strange looking goal posts on each side. Each side had three very tall bubble wand looking posts made of shiny gold. Hollie looked out in wonder as she saw Lee practicing hitting some bludgers away from him. Over in the corner she saw a short brown haired girl watching and taking notes.
"This is our Quidditch field." Jason exclaimed happily and looked at Hollie, "Are you ready for some practice?"
"Sure I guess…" Hollie shrugged just as the brown haired girl ran up to them. Jason began to groan.
"Who is this?" The girl asked, glaring at Hollie, "You know first years are not allowed to play Jason, unless they have permission."
"Oh shut up Cryssy, she has permission from Snape," He handed her the note so she could look it over, "Unclench already."
"You're Hollie Skyelar?" She asked Hollie, who nodded. Suddenly upon Cryssy's face came a smile, "You're Rebeka's sister! I'm Cryssy Wasil, the commentator for all the Quidditch games."
"Nice to meet you." Hollie replied in a quiet voice.
"You know your sister might try out this year, us Gryffindor need a new chaser since Alvarez left, he was one of the best too." Cryssy sighed, "But I'm not supposed to be biased since I'm the commentator. Oh well, good luck. I hope you make it, but you still won't beat Gryffindor, not even with Lee Prior."
Cryssy walked away and sat down on the bleachers, continuing to take notes. Hollie and Jason continued to walk on the field.
"I thought Cryssy wasn't supposed to be biased…" Hollie told Jason, who laughed.
"She's just smug because Gryffindor has won the last two years," He told Hollie, "She just happened to forget that Slytherin one the six times before that."
"We sound like a good team." Hollie muttered and looked up to see Lee flying above their heads.
"Oh, we are!" Marigold replied happily. Marigold's face only seemed to light up when she was talking about Quidditch, "Gryffindor only one the last two times because of their Chaser Alverez Chase, now that he's gone, they don't stand a chance. It was weird that he only played Quidditch his last two years in school though…"
"Yeah weird…" Hollie murmured as Lee began to land. He noticed Hollie and sighed loudly.
"I'm just going to go sit next to that Cryssy girl." Marigold whispered to Hollie and took off toward the bleachers.
"What is SHE doing here?" Lee asked Jason, not even bothering to say hello to Hollie.
"I'M going to try out for Quidditch," She spat out, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm practicing," Lee smiled at her, "You see, I already got in. I'm just better than you I guess."
"You are such a pompous, arrogant - (Hollie said a word that even Jason was shocked by) - and I could kick your butt at anything you do."
"HOLLIE!" Cryssy yelled through the amplifier, "THAT'S THE STUFF! SHOW HIM WHO IS BOSS!"
Jason turned to look at her, "Aren't you going to berate her? She is a Slytherin!" He told her sarcastically, Cryssy smiled.
"NO! SHE'S DOING A GOOD JOB ON THAT SLYTHERIN WEASEL RIGHT THERE! NICE SHOW OF SOLIDARITY!"
Jason rolled his eyes and looked at the two first years with anger, "Could you two please pretend to get along. We already have enough trouble with Gryffindor without you two giving them ammunition!"
"Yeah, whatever…" Lee kicked off the ground and began to fly again, Jason just looked at Hollie and laughed.
"He's just giving you a hard time because he thinks you're pretty." Jason gave her a wink that made her think Lee wasn't the only one who thought she was pretty, "He's just being a baby."
"What year are you?" She asked him.
"Third…why?" He stared at her with confusion.
"Don't you think you're a little old to be hitting on a first year?" She smiled and straddled the broom. She then kicked off and began to fly right along with Lee.
"At least you know how to fly the thing…" Lee mumbled, "But that won't be enough you know."
"Oh dear me! Really! I just thought Quidditch was flying around doing nothing…" Holly put her hand on her head dramatically, "Woe is me! Woe is me!"
Jason laughed as he began flying too, "Okay you two. Hollie is going to be trying out for the Seeker and I have the Snitch here in my pocket. Now Lee, as the Beater you're going to have to make sure the bludgers don't hit her. It'll be good practice for both of you."
"I can do that…" Lee smiled at Hollie, who sighed. Jason pulled out the small gold ball with the small wings.
"Are you guys ready?" He asked, Hollie nodded, "Remember there are no second chances, this is all you get. GO!"
Jason let the Snitch go and just as soon as it left his hand, it was gone. Hollie began looking for it as Lee was beating all the bludgers away from her. He didn't seem like he wanted to do it though, that made her a little nervous. She squinted her eyes to see better, and then, there in the corner was the Snitch, gleaming away near one of the goalposts. She flew as fast as she could to grab it, her arms stretched as she got closer and closer…WOOSH!!! A Bludger came flying toward her head, she turned right to avoid it, and it missed her by inches. Angrily she turned around; Lee shrugged at her like it was an accident. But it was too late now, the Snitch was gone again and she went looking for it.
"THAT'S A SAD LOOKING BUNCH YOU GOT THERE JASON!" A familiar voice rang out from the bleachers; Hollie looked over to see the girl who was yelling at the hat during the sorting. Standing next to her was her sister - carrying her broom.
"SHUT UP BETH!" Jason called back, "YOUR BUNCH IS ALWAYS SAD LOOKING!"
"Hollie!" Her sister yelled as Hollie continued looking for the snitch, "Professor Snape came up to me! Said you needed your Broom back! So I brought it! How did he know about it!?"
"I don't know!" Hollie answered as she flew around the field, "I'll grab it when I'm done!"
Finally, she saw the Snitch again; it was sitting next to Jason. This time she would get it, so she flew next to Jason - then another Bludger came barreling toward the two. Both Jason and Hollie swerved out of the way to avoid it. Jason looked back at Lee, who shrugged again.
"Sorry! That one got away!" Lee exclaimed and smiled at Hollie. Something told her he wasn't being entirely truthful.
"LIAR!!" Rebeka, her sister, yelled suddenly, "You threw that Bludger at my sister!"
"Is that true!?" Jason asked Lee.
"No! Why are you trusting a Gryffindor for anyway?" Lee said confidently, the answer suited Jason just fine and he stopped talking about it. Hollie sighed and resumed looking for the Snitch again. She ran around the field, flying on her broom, trying to reclaim the blasted thing. Then, there it was, just inches away from her, like it was waiting for her to just grab it. She reached out for it and the two Bludgers came hurling at her, luckily she managed to wrap her hands around the Snitch. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to get out of the way of the two balls, she closed her eyes and awaited the hard impact.
"You jerk!" A voice said in front of her. She opened her eyes and saw her sister, Bludgers in her hands, flying on her broom, "You're supposed to be working as a team!"
Everyone looked up to Rebeka and gasped. Beth, who was grinning from ear to ear, ran down the field until she was underneath Rebeka.
"Did you just catch those in your hands?" Beth yelled up.
"Yeah, why?" Rebeka asked, looking downward.
"It's impossible to catch Bludgers without getting hurt! How did you do that!?" Marigold yelled from the stands.
"I don't know, I have strong hands." Rebeka shrugged and let the Bludgers go, they fell to the ground, "I used to have to catch Hollie all the time. When she was younger she used to hurl herself off of things, she thought she could fly."
Beth looked over to Jason, "You should thank your Beater there Jason ol' boy, he just helped us find our new chaser! HEY BEKA! WANT THE JOB!?"
"Sure!" Rebeka replied, though there was some hesitation in her voice, "But I need my own broom, this is Hollie's."
"WOOHOO!" Cryssy yelled happily, "I knew you would get it Rebeka!"
Hollie sighed; she guessed Cryssy and Beth were both friends of her sisters. This wouldn't exactly be a good thing if her team captain hated them both. Everyone floated down and Rebeka handed Hollie the silvery broom.
"Here you go Hollie." Rebeka smiled at her sister, "Since we're both on the Quidditch team we'll see each other more."
"I'm not on it yet," Hollie told her sister, "With Lee's wonderful help, I don't think I got on it either."
"Don't worry about him," Rebeka put her hand on Hollie's shoulder, "He's just trying to scare you. Don't let him."
"I won't. I think you know me better than that." Hollie gave her a bright smile and Rebeka laughed.
"Yeah, you'll end up scaring him." She joked, that made Hollie laugh, "Don't worry, I'm sure you got in!"
"Bek!" Beth ran up to her with excitement on her face, "Come on! We have to go tell professor McGonagall about this at once!"
"Oh…okay." Rebeka began walking off with Beth; she gave one last look to Hollie, "Good luck sis!"
When Beth and Rebeka left, Jason walked up to Lee and looked like he was ready to punch his face in.
"Did you think that was funny!?" He yelled, "Because of you the Gryffindor team found their new Chaser…"
"I didn't do anything!" Lee yelled back, Hollie gasped.
"You aimed those Bludgers right at me!" She argued, "You didn't want me to find the Snitch, Didn't want me on the team!"
"Hey, the other team is going to be throwing balls at you," Lee told her, "If you can't find the Snitch under stressful circumstances then you shouldn't be on the team."
She looked over at Jason for some help, but he was nodding along with Lee.
"He's right, you know..."
"Fine! Then maybe I don't want to be on the team if I'm going to be playing with YOU!" Hollie then threw the gold ball down at Jason's feet, he looked up at her shocked, "Here's you danged Snitch back. I'm leaving."
Hollie ran off the field and slammed the school's door shut as she walked back to the Slytherin Dormitory. How dare he do that to her? They were supposed to be in the same house, they weren't supposed to be against each other. Hollie walked as fast as she could, but she couldn't help but hear footsteps behind her, like they were following her. She just walked faster, wanting to get to her room to beat up her pillow.
"Hollie!" Jason's voice called behind her, she ignored it, "Wait a second!"
"Don't you understand the words 'I'm leaving'?" She yelled back, not bothering to stop, "If you don't they meant that I was leaving!"
"Hollie could you just wait a second!" Jason's voice climbed closer and he somehow managed to grab her arm, making her stop in her tracks.
"What?" She turned to look at him.
"You caught the Snitch?" He asked her, she laughed like it was the stupidest question in existence.
"Didn't you see me throw it to you?" She answered, he smiled.
"That was incredible." He said suddenly, she wasn't excepting that, "You caught the thing in ten minutes. I didn't even see you do it."
"I caught it right before your pal Lee hit those Bludgers toward me." Hollie told, "I didn't have time to dodge and catch the Snitch, so I caught the Snitch. If my sister wouldn't have blocked them, I would have been dog food. Thanks for your concern."
"You chose to catch the snitch even though you knew you were going to get hit?" He asked her, she just nodded her head, "You're on the team."
"Excuse me?" Hollie pulled her arm out of his tight hold, "I just said I didn't want to be on the team, did you not hear me?"
"You do want to be on the team." Jason argued, "That's why you were so mad, you thought you weren't going to get on the team."
"I…..so…" Hollie mumbled, not being able to argue because he was right on the money.
"Do you want the spot or not?" He asked her, "We could use you."
"But what about Lee?" She asked, "He doesn't want me on the team and I certainly do not want to be on the team with that creep and -"
"Whoa calm down." Jason interrupted and she stopped talking, "Lee wants to win the cup just as much as we do, he'll work with you wither he likes it or not. Of course, you have to do the same."
Hollie sighed and began to smile. Even now, she was really excited about being on the Slytherin Quidditch team, "I'll do it!"
"GREAT!" Jason seemed really excited, which made Hollie even happier, "Practice starts this Thursday…see you there!"
"Okay." Hollie turned around to leave, but Jason grabbed her arm yet again.
"Oh, and by the way. I don't think I'm too old to hit on a first year," He replied with a smile, "Especially not one like you."
With that he walked off, and Holly began to blush furiously. He was good looking, but he wasn't her type really. Still, it was flattering that a third year thought she was cute. She began to walk to the Slytherin room with a little more bounce in her step, not only had she made the Quidditch team and the captain thought she was cute, she still had am hour before she had her next class. The Gargoyle statue stared at her as she approached it, it seemed happier. If a statue could be any happier.
"Password?" It asked her with a stony smile.
"Hiccifus." She answered, staring at it.
"Congratulation Miss Skyelar about becoming Seeker." It said to her, she gasped.
"How did you know that?"
"News Travels fast among the Art work 'round 'ere." It said and moved out of the way so she could go into the commons room. No one was there except for a few boys in the corner, one of whom she had met in class that day, a boy named Jack. She walked passed him and toward her room.
"Congrats Hollie." Jack turned to her and smiled. She stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. All she could think was that he looked really cute sitting there in that chair.
"Huh? How did you find out?" She asked him, he pointed to the Gargoyle now covering the entryway, "Just told me."
"Wow, news really does travel fast," Holly muttered, "Well, thanks."
She continued to her room to check on her owl, Talon, and tell him the exciting news. He usually was in her room on the windoe seal, seemed he didn't really like the owlery that much. She walked in her room and over to her bed in the closest corner on the right wall. Seeing Talon staring at her, she walked over and sat on her bed.
"Talon, today was the best day." Hollie exclaimed, "I'm starting to really love this school and… what's that?"
Hollie peered over and noticed something inside Talon's usually empty cage. It was a small letter, so she reached in and grabbed it. Wondering who it could be from she opened it in a hurry. It read:
I already told your sister, so now I will tell you. Get out of Hogwarts now. It will be too late pretty soon. Do it or one of you will get hurt…
Hollie looked around her, who could have sent it to her? She decided that as soon as she could she would go see her sister. The best time would be lunch, so she shoved the note in her pocket and ran down back to the commons…whoever it was wouldn't get away with it.
_____________________________________________________________
A/N: Don't you wish there was a way to edit these after putting them on the site? I do... Anyway, I love the nastiness between Lee and Hollie, I always knew those two personalities would clash and it seems to work well. Kind of like Hermione and Draco, except for the faxt they are in the same house. Anyway, those two make any chapter fun to write. I only wish I could write more Slytherin chapters ^_^
Review if you want, and remember to read my other story, called "Aftershock"
