Holly woke up at around 6. She lazily got out of bed and looked around at
her room mates. In this slytherin dormitory there were 7 girls in a room,
but some weren't from the same year. 4 beds were empty, and 2 girls were
still sleeping. They both looked older than Holly by about a year. Holly
quickly got changed into her school uniform and robes. It was now 6.30am by
the time she had fully changed, washed her face, brushed her hair and
brushed her teeth. Holly decided to go down to the great hall and have a
quick breakfast before anyone else.
As soon as she walked into the great hall she heard giggling. Pansy
Parkinson and her 3 other friends were giggling about something, Holly
rolled her eyes and sat at the other side of the table and buttered her
toast silently.
They continued to giggle, so Holly looked up. They were all looking at a
giant poster that was on the wall. It read:
STUDENTS OF HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY The majority of the Quiditch teams are male and the Quiditch Sports Academy
(the QSA) has decided that all magical schools and Quiditch tournaments should have more female input (especially that international teams are all male) and has decided that women are great spectators and are very good at screaming and cheering. The Quiditch Sports Academy has advised all schools to make Cheer Squads for each Quiditch team or they will face closure of their quiditch scheme. The QSA has requested that all magical schools with
quiditch teams form a competitive team which will consist of the 6 best
players in the school (at least one from each house). BEING ON THE COMPEDITIVE TEAM DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CANT STILL BE ON YOUR HOUSE TEAM.
And also you can't be on a cheer leading team if you are on a quiditch team. The QSA want us to have competitive cheer teams that will support our
competitive quiditch teams when we play other schools. Trial times are
below. Cheer Teams: Madam Hooch will be conducting a training session so she can pick a squad for each house and a competitive one. This day will be on the weekend. Only 3rd years and up can try out for house teams. 5th years and
up can try out for the competitive team.
Competitive Quiditch Team: You will be surveyed at your regular team training sessions (you must be on a quiditch team to be on the competitive
team).
Holly presumed this was what Pansy and her group of girls were giggling at. They were the type of people that fit the type of cheerleaders, although, Holly thought, cheerleading would be fun and she could do some gymnastics.
"Hey, New Girl" someone said from across the table
"its Holly, yeah?" Holly replied
"ok, well its new girl for us. I'm Pansy, you should already know that" Pansy said
"Unfortunately I already do" Holly said disgusted to be talking to this person
"Yeah whatever, you better not be thinking of trying out for the cheer squad" Pansy said snottishly to holly
"Oh and what if I am?" Holly said slyly
"Well you cant!"
"And who says?" Holly said
"Well I do! And you can't because I am" Pansy finished sum what lamely
"You and the rest of the girls in Hogwarts" Holly said eating her toast again
"But I won't be upstaged by the new girl" Pansy said to her friends
Draco walked through the doors of the great hall and pansy and her friends started giggling. Draco ignored them and came and sat right next to Holly.
"Wow, they're having cheerleaders at Hogwarts?" Draco exclaimed
"Apparently" Holly said still chewing on her toast
"You should join" Draco said to Holly
"Already thought about it, I don't think I'm the cheerleading type"
"I think you could be, plus doesn't that mean that you would get to compete against your old school?" Draco said reaching for the pumpkin juice
"Yeah, but I would have to GET ON the competition squad" Holly tipped her head motioning to the poster
"Well I'm trying out for the competitive squad" Draco said taking a sip from his glass "I bet potter will"
"And pansy has already claimed her place on the cheer squad" Holly said
"So you should try out"
"Yeah but..." Holly argued
"You try out and ill try out, fair?" Draco reasoned
"No, not fair" Holly said pointing at Draco "because you were going to try out anyway"
"Just try out Holly, what is it going to prove?" Draco said desperately
"That I'm not like them" she said motioning to Pansy and her friends
"I can see that you're not like them, everyone can see that and everyone will be trying out. You're trying out and that's final!"
"Ok, ok, ok! Ill try out!" Holly said finishing her 3rd piece of toast
Draco reached for the milk with a satisfied smirk on his face. The rest of the great hall was filling up and they would have to get to classes soon.
