Cho, Marietta, Sky and Liana went to do their homework and study until the trials began. Cho felt that she had used her time really effectively as she had finished Professor Snape's essay in no time but when she started Professor Flitwick's quiz, there were so many things she had forgotten about and was only able to answer half of them.
"Where's Abigail when you need her," said Sky jokingly as she attempted to answer Professor Flitwick's quiz. "She would've been able to answer all these questions in no time."
"Yeah, I don't know how she does it," replied Cho.
"Hey, we better get going, or we'll miss Abigail's wonderful trial," smiled Liana as the others began to stand up.
All four of them walked down to the Quidditch pitch to watch the trials. Cho was surprised to find so many people who had come to watch the match. Basically the whole Ravenclaw house, and also half the people from Gryffindor and Hufflepuff but Cho noticed there wasn't a single Slytherin in sight, until Marietta nudged her in the ribs.
"Look, over there behind the bushes," said Marietta scowling, "It's Malfoy and his fellow Quidditch players."
Cho didn't even bother to
look, she didn't want to waste her time looking at Slytherins, but that didn't
stop her from hearing Pansy Parkinson.
"Oh, well just look at that, its player Chang. Who's your boyfriend this time,
huh, bet its Longbottom, squealed Pansy as the other
Slytherins roared with laughter. Cho chose to ignore them; she was used to the
Slytherins taunts. They were just jealous she thought viciously. Liana tugged
Cho so they could quickly go and find some seats in the stadium. Marietta sat down next to Terry in the front row and Cho sat
beside her followed by Liana and Sky. The Quidditch trials had just begun and
apparently they had only missed the first two trials. The third trial a little
boy went out on the field and he looked like he was only a third year. Despite
the fact that he looked young he was pretty good. The next 2 people were
dreadful but the third person was pretty good and scored a couple of goals.
Finally it was Abigail's turn. As Abigail walked out on to the field, cheers
arose through the stadium; it was obvious she was very popular. Cho watched as
Abigail flew out on to the field and immediately grabbed the quaffle. Abigail did well until she got to the goal posts
where she took an aim to shoot and the keeper caught it. The audience groaned
but Abigail's spirits were not gone and after awhile she scored a most
spectacular goal. Cho, Marietta,
Liana and Sky screamed with delight for Abigail.
The trials continued to run and Cho knew it was going to be a tough competition as there were two other people who were just as good as Abigail but surely Abigail being a seventh year, she would be chosen. When the trials had finally finished, Cho went up to bed but before she went to bed she did a bit of study just in case she was to fall behind in school work. Gradually Cho became tired and fell to sleep.

The next morning Cho woke up, to Abigail shaking her.
"Cho, Cho, I got it, I got it. I'm a chaser for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. I can't believe it—never thought I would get it—the third year was better than me—but I got it—wow."
"Well done Abigail," said Cho sleepily as she was still half-asleep. "Come on let's get down to breakfast."
Abigail and Cho walked down to the common room and Cho was lost in thought about things until she noticed she had walked straight into someone.
"Chang, watch where you're going," screamed Michael. "Oh, and by the way, the whole school thinks you're a player, I overheard people talking about you. Hate to break it to you."
"Shut-up Corner," said Cho coolly, "You're just angry that I don't want to go out with you anymore."
"Like I care, I got a new girlfriend anyway and it's none other than Padma Patil and she's heaps prettier than you."
"Oh, well look who's the player now Corner, just leave me alone," shouted Cho her temper rising, and she stormed off with Abigail shouting insults at Michael from behind her.
Finally, they reached the Ravenclaw table and Cho was vaguely aware that most of the school was staring at her with utter disgust. Cho chanced a glance at the Gryffindor table and saw that Harry was staring at her. Cho quickly looked away, not wanting to be caught looking at Harry by other people.
"That, Michael Corner makes me so angry. I Hate him." said Abigail as she started furiously at the table.
"We've got okay subjects today Cho," said Marietta, "Potions, defense against the dark arts and herbology. Well, besides the potions that is."
"Hey Abigail, can you help
me with the charms questions, I can't do half of them," said Cho.
"No problem except I haven't even looked at them yet," laughed Abigail.
"You know what I can't wait till this year," said Sky breathlessly
"What," said Cho, Marietta, Abigail and Liana together
"Our year 7 Hogwarts Ball which is held on Christmas Eve, I'm thinking about asking Mitchell Hall in Hufflepuff, he is so hot. What about you guys? Who do you want to go with to the ball?"
Cho didn't say anything, she knew very well, who she wanted to go to the ball with and that was none other than Harry Potter but she was sure that Harry no longer liked her.
"Well, you know who I want to go the ball with? I want to go with Harry Potter even though I've never spoken to him in my life but he is so brave, cute, sweet and practically everything. Now that your not going out with him anymore Cho, do you think he might ask me?" asked Liana
Cho stared, she couldn't believe her ears, Liana wanted to go the ball with Harry Potter.
"What about you, Abigail?" asked Sky.
"Oh, I'm not entirely sure, just someone really nice who has a sense of humour."
Cho finished her breakfast and said good-bye to Sky and walked to potions with Liana, Marietta and Abigail.
Potions was terrible today, Abigail got in so much trouble for missing her detention and now has a whole week's worth of detentions. Professor Snape was so angry and took it out on all the Ravenclaw's. The only good thing was that Cho received an E on her mal potion essay and Snape had to give Abigail an O as he couldn't find a single thing wrong with it.
Defense against the dark arts went okay and Cho was pleased to discover that the only homework they had for Defense against the dark arts was to revise the spells they had already learnt.
Cho's final lesson of the day was herbology where they were set a foot long essay on devils snare. By the end of the day Cho was exhausted but she still had her detention with Professor Snape to face at 5:00 which was rather soon.
"Hey Cho, I got detention with Snape tonight as well. Perhaps we'll be together."
"Or," said a cold voice behind them, "perhaps not."
Professor Snape had just entered the room looking extremely angry.
"Abigail, you will meet me in my office where as you Cho will meet Mr. Filch at the trophy room with Harry Potter and you two will be scrubbing the trophies with out magic, (I know that's not very original but I couldn't think of much else sorry).
Cho waved good-bye to her friends and followed Mr. Filch up the stairs to the owlery whilst her heart fluttered at her knowledge that Harry Potter would be there.
