Chapter 3- And Your Captain Is…
"Okay class" Oliver paced in front of us. I looked around the Gryffindor locker room, it was very much like ours but filled with scarlet and gold lockers. "Today, we will be studying the Cleansweep" He said
"Great" Ron Weasley mumbled beside me
"Excuse me?" He turned around towards Ron
"Nothing, sir" Ron turned pale at the sight of Oliver's glare
"So you're the new Gryffindor Keeper?" Oliver said
"Uhm, yes sir" Ron stammered
"Oh yes I forgot, I need to announce the new players who will be joining us on Wednesday, let's start with Gryffindor, Captain, Harry! Congratulations! Beaters: Seamus Finnagin and Dean Thomas, chasers: Lavender Brown, Parvati Patail, and Ginny Weasley, another set of Female Chasers I see" Oliver smiled. I toned out not caring about Slytherin, or Hufflepuff, but surprised when they got to Ravenclaw, I got the biggest shock of this year
"Captain, Cho Chang" He said and smiled. I felt my stomach do backflips as my heart raced
"Me?" I said stupidly
"Unless, there is another Chang here" He said, I smiled gleefully, the one good thing that happened this year! Wow, maybe things won't suck out loud.
"You seem a lot happier than this morning" Oliver nudged
"Yea" I said
"Now, captains, you will have to come in, on Thursdays to discuss managing your team and such." He informed and started rambling about the Cleansweep. This was a big turn around, I mean Quidditch captain! Wait until I tell…wait, tell who? I mean all my friends hate me, except for Luna, well, I guess she gets to hear the good news, maybe this year she'll support her house, and hopefully she doesn't make another bloody hat. This year we were going to win and beat Gryffindor. They've been winning every year. But this year was Ravenclaw's time to shine.
"Now, I have borrowed 28 copies of Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp, now, read pg. 48 and give me a brief summary, along with a profile on the Comet 260, it will be due tomorrow, also, if any of you shall lose one of these copies the fee will be 14 sickles and 3 knuts" He said
"This is a bit of a joke class if you ask me" Malfoy whispered to Crabbe and Goyle.
"So Malfoy, where's your cheerleading team?" I asked hastily
"Where's your dead boyfriend?" He asked
"10 points from Slytherin" Oliver said
"WHAT?" Malfoy yelled
"You heard me" said Oliver
"Fine favor the little Ravenclaw" Malfoy said and the bell rang
"You didn't have to do that" I sneered
"Well, I figured out how sensitive about that, and I didn't think you needed anymore trouble" He said
"I can handle myself" I said
"Fine, by the way, 6:00 tonight and tomorrow morning, Quidditch Pitch, you will be helping me clean the equipment" He said
"In the morning?!?!" I said
"Yes, if you think that's a bit too late, do you wanna try 4:00?" He said
"Fine" I spat and stormed off.
