"It's not as if anything good came from your family anyway," a harsh little voice said.
"You're one to talk. Exactly how many times have your parents disowned you?" Blue said, standing stationary in the middle of a room.
"Please. If you think you can distract me from the fact that your mother's the biggest slut around, you're fooling yourself." A petite girl stood up from where she was sitting and went to face Blue. She was oddly short for her 13 years of age and there were many similarities between her and a rather ugly goblin.
"She's not," Blue said quietly.
"You're so naïve. Is she ever at home? When you call, when you visit? Or maybe it's because she's too afraid to be near you," she girl said menacingly. Blue curled her hands into fists and grinded her teeth hard, to avoid saying anything bad.
"It's not her fault if your father can't give her what she needs. Mind you, I have seen her on the street corner once or twice." Suddenly the whole room became filled with a luminescent glow and deep whirlpools of light began to turn in Blue's eyes. The tiny girl's face was white and expressionless as she watched Blue hovering a few feet off the ground. As Blue glanced up at the girl, bolts of bright light shot out of her eyes and flew directly towards the girl.
Blue woke up, drenched in cold sweat. It was just a dream, she said to herself over and over again. Arabella stirred in her sleep and Blue didn't want to wake anyone, so she slumped back into her pillows and held on tightly to the blanket. As long as I stay awake I'll be fine, she thought to herself. But no sooner had she closed her eyelids, than the dreams came back to haunt her all over again.
"Everything okay Blue?" a voice suddenly said. Blue looked up to see Remus sitting in front of her. As she gazed around, she realised that she was sitting in the hall, a little earlier than usual for breakfast.
"Y-yeah, of course. Why?"
"You look a tad distant, that's all," he said soothingly. Blue's mind was definitely elsewhere, but she couldn't help notice that Remus was looking very tired and worn-out. There was an awkward silence before she spoke again.
"I haven't spoken to you since-"
"The hospital wing, I know. I got back and you were gone though."
"I had something important to do," her eyes trailed away from Remus' as she looked around the hall.
"I need to go, I'm meeting James and Sirius in the library. I just came to say-"
"Blue! So nice to see you in here early," Blue turned around to see Luke striding towards her.
"Morning Remus," he said with a twisted smirk. Remus stood, frozen for a few seconds before giving him the briefest nod, and then walking away.
"So, Blue. I want to go over our schedule. Is tonight okay?"
"For what?" Blue asked suddenly, still thinking about Remus.
"Quidditch, remember. You'll know whether or not you're in the team today, and if you are, well then we can start practices tonight." He seemed so awake, yet Blue's mind was lingering on tonnes of other things.
"Okay, I'll let you know."
"Good. See you tonight, or not," he said as he disappeared to sit with Malfoy and Snape.
"Talk about a head start," said Lily, watching Luke as she sat down.
"Can't believe you came down here so early," Arabella said in scepticism.
"Neither can I. What are you doing outside?" she said staring at Arabella.
"Well, I realised that I couldn't hibernate in my room for-"
"And Sirius told her that he's forgotten about the whole thing," Lily added unnecessarily.
"Is Remus okay?" Blue said suddenly. She knew she'd hit a nerve because Lily's eyes widened and Arabella started fidgeting with her robes.
"He's fine, I think," Lily said quickly. "Why d'you ask?"
"He looked a real mess, I was going to ask but-"
"I'm sure he's perfectly fine. We all have our days," Arabella said giddily. Lily started to talk about Transfiguration, but Blue was sure she'd changed the subject on purpose.
After eating their fill, Lily, Arabella and Blue went to collect the things for their first lesson.
"Potions," Arabella whined as she trudged unwillingly behind Lily.
"With the Slytherins," Blue was careful to point out as they entered the smelly dungeons. They took their seats just as Professor Baldwin entered the classroom. The four seats that were permanently reserved at the back for the four pranksters were empty, again. This was the first thing that Professor Baldwin noted.
"So, I see we have students who now make an effort to be late," he grinned evilly, staring at the vacant back table. Just as he was about the open his mouth to say something malicious again, Sirius skidded to a halt causing James, Remus and Peter all to collided into one another behind him.
"Did we miss anything?" he pretended to pant, holding a hand to his chest.
"Oh no Mr Black, I was just talking about you," Professor Baldwin said in an odd, untrustworthy voice.
"You were," Sirius said, apparently also hearing the peculiarity in his voice.
"Yes, and seeing that you and your little friends take pleasure out of coming late to this class, I think that twenty points from Gryffindor would be sufficient." There was a little silence as if they were waiting for more, but it didn't come.
"Hey, twenty points for all of us, that's not bad. At least it wasn't a detention," James whispered in Sirius ear, but apparently Professor Baldwin heard him.
"Oh no Mr Potter. Not twenty points for all of you, twenty points, for each of you," his beady eyes were reduced to slits because of the way in which he was smirking. James' mouth dropped open and Peter was counting on his fingers to see how much that would be.
"Eighty points! Professor Baldwin-"
"I suggest you sit down Mr Potter, before I make it twenty more." They all strolled to their seats, in a very shocked state.
The lesson didn't go to well either. Surprisingly, Malfoy and Snape had kept their distance ever since the start of the lesson. Luke kept looking up and winking at Blue, much to Remus' disgust.
"What's eating you buddy?" Sirius said quietly as they were shredding fig roots. "Forget about the points, we've done worse."
"No, no it's not the points," he replied, still trying to figure out what Luke was mouthing to Blue.
"Then what's wrong?" asked Sirius, totally bewildered.
"What's the story with Luke Darwin?"
"Hmm, well as far as I know, he's okay. James and I got into a spot of trouble with Filch once and he was there to cover for us, nice guy."
"Why was he at our Quidditch practice the other day?" Remus asked suddenly.
"Apparently he went to the wrong one. Why all the questions Remus, d'you know something I don't?"
"No, I just think it's weird that a Slytherin comes to a Gryffindor practice and still flies. Wouldn't he have realised that-"
"Relax Inspector Lupin, give the guy a break," said Sirius.
"Okay," Remus muttered before throwing his savaged roots into his cauldron.
Everyone (except the Slytherins) was glad when Potions ended and as the Gryffindors headed off to Transfiguration, Luke pulled Blue aside.
"Have you heard about the team?" he asked her, interested.
"Is that what you were trying to ask me?" Blue said confused.
"Uh huh."
"It hasn't even been and hour since you asked me last," she said suspiciously.
"I know, but you've got me excited," he smiled, one of those melting smiles and Blue thought she was going to dissolve right there.
"Tell me when you know okay," Luke said before hurrying off.
"He seems in an awful hurry to start practices," Arabella said as she nudged Blue in the side.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly what I said. Come on, he's tall, dark and han-"
"I hope you're talking about me," Sirius shouted from in front of them.
"Not in a million years," Arabella found herself answering.
"I never would've guessed," Blue said and swerved to avoid Arabella's bag that had been aimed at her.
When they were all seated in Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall didn't seem to be there. So everyone just talked casually waiting for her to arrive.
"…the names are up," an excited voice suddenly said from the corridor.
"…that's right…the new Quidditch team…" James' ears pricked up at the sound of Quidditch and ceased his conversation with Lily as he ran out the classroom, much to Lily's dismay, closely followed by Sirius and Remus, who had a sceptical look upon his face. Arabella had dragged Blue along to see as well. Blue on the other hand, was having serious doubts. James wriggled his way through the crowd of anxious Gryffindors, before he had full view. Written in Madam Hooch's tiny, neat handwriting was the following:
Well done to every single one of you who tried out for the team. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. To the new captain and team, I wish you a very successful year and I will see you at the start of the Quidditch season.
Gryffindor Team List
Chaser- Zack Mallet
Chaser- Kendra Valla
Chaser- Blue Adams
Beater- Justin Humphrey
Beater- Derek Lombard
Seeker- James Potter
Keeper- Phillip Darwin (Captain)
"You got in. Blue, you got in!" Arabella shrieked and as Blue looked up, caught a quick glance of her names through all the heads.
"I did. Oh my God," she said as she covered her mouth his her hands. She was shaking so much as she walked back to the classroom alone. As she sagged back into her chair, she didn't realise that Sirius was sitting behind her.
"Well done. I heard Arabella from here," he smiled.
"Thank you," she said and then a thought crossed her mind.
"What about you?" Sirius shook his head, but didn't seem to be affected by it at all.
"There's always next year," he smiled and Blue was so stupefied by him. When Professor McGonagall finally came, she was so delighted to hear about the new team that she forgot all about Transfiguration- if that were possible. When the lesson ended, she was so cross with herself for forgetting a lesson that she stormed out in a confused frenzy.
"I can't believe it," Blue was still saying as they ate lunch.
"Well believe it," said Arabella particularly delighted with Blue's success.
"But I had the accident and-"
"I heard just now. Well done," Luke suddenly said from behind Blue. She turned around to face him and he looked extremely happy.
"So I'll see you tonight then, eight o'clock on the Quidditch pitch." Blue just nodded, trying to swallow the piece of sausage she had in her mouth. As Luke walked swiftly away, Remus watched him with tentative eyes.
"So our plan's in motion," Lily whispered so that only the three of them could hear.
"Starting tonight, I'll have full revenge," Arabella said wickedly, and Lily looked a bit taken aback.
"Girls. Didn't your mothers ever teach you that whispering in public is rude," came Sirius' voice from the opposite end of the table.
"Not my mother," Arabella grinned.
"You're playing Chaser, right Blue?" James asked.
"Yeah. I've heard that you're a really, really good Seeker, James," Blue said moving her eyes towards Lily.
"Really, who told you that?" James replied sarcastically as he watched Lily turn the darkest shade of crimson he had ever seen.
"Well, Remus and I will drink to being the losers of the table," said Sirius happily holding up his glass,
"Speak for yourself, I didn't even tryout," Remus sighed and Blue couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"There's always next year," Lily said, echoing Sirius' words.
"I guess."
The rest of the day went quite normally, apart from a few minor mishaps in Herbology. Most of the Gryffindors were talking and lounging around lazily in the common room. But Blue was wide-awake. She was thinking about Lily's plan, and all the things that could go horribly wrong.
"Cheer up," Arabella said soothingly as she sat down next to her on the squishy sofa.
"Have some chocolate," she chirped, breaking off a piece from a large dark brown slab.
"Sirius pinched it from Madam Pomfrey this morning. I dare say she wasn't to pleased." The chocolate disappeared quickly once it hit Blue's tongue, and she suddenly felt warm and tingly inside.
"Oooo, it's eight o'clock. I have to get going," Blue smiled as she heard the clock chime. She picked up her broomstick and headed for the portrait, climbing gingerly out and making her way to the Quidditch pitch. Luke was already waiting there when she arrived.
"Hi," he greeted briskly.
"Am I late?"
"No."
"Where's you broom?" she said, scanning the bare grass.
"Blue, I don't think I can give you lessons." She rolled her eyes and sighed deeply.
"I told you before, it doesn't matter about our houses, all-"
"It does. But that's not why I can't teach you." He seamed to have a reason but he wasn't saying what.
"Well then why?"
"Consider it as, sibling rivalry," he said simply.
"Huh?"
"My brother- Phillip Darwin, captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. My brother- head boy. My brother- the smart one of the family," he sounded as if he relished the idea, but his face was transfixed and severe.
"Your brother's captain, I didn't-"
"Neither did I, I found out on the way here. He took delight in rubbing it in my face. I didn't even go to the right practice." Luke pushed his black hair out his face and stared at Blue.
"So you see why," he stated simply.
"No I don't. That reason, it's just as pathetic as the other. I can't believe you'd let anyone get the better of you." He stared at her without saying a word and then hung his head.
"I'm in the Slytherin team, that's another reason. They aren't very happy with the idea of you and me-"
"You know what? Okay, fine don't teach me! I don't give a damn anymore!!" she said slinging her broom over her shoulder.
"I'm so-"
"All I wanted was a few pointers," she said, turning around and Luke had to duck to avoid her broom. "And you couldn't even give me that!!"
"I'm sorry," he pleaded, rushing in front of her and grabbing her shoulders.
"I don't even know why I wasted my time on you! Do you know I could be in my common room now, eating chocolate!! But no I'm out here with-" then suddenly, with no warning at all, he quickly leaned forward and kissed her. It was a few good seconds before he pulled away. Blue's face was totally still and she swallowed hard. Luke's mouth curled into a smile.
"That shut you up," he said ironically. Blue broke herself free from his grip and walked silently up to the castle. She didn't turn around once to glance back at Luke.
When she reached the portrait, the Fat Lady asked for the password and she mumbled something.
"Sorry dear I didn't catch that?"
"Orange Marmalade!!" Blue shrieked and the Fat Lady looked shocked, but swung forward anyway.
"Back so early?" Lily said rising up from a sofa "What happened?"
"Lessons are off. I don't wanna talk about it," she muttered a she walked up to the dormitory. Her face was white as she hurried up the stairs.
"What's with her?" Lily said confused, sitting sat down next to Arabella.
"He kissed her," Arabella said simply as she ate the remaining chocolate.
*Author's Notes* Okay, so another one finished! :) I tried to make it longer and I think I succeeded. Well I hope you guys like it and I'm going to encourage you to REVIEW, cause it is the best thing to do! Thanx to everyone who reviewed last time, it means so much to me!:) Oh by the way... Godric, I changed James' position just for you!
"You're one to talk. Exactly how many times have your parents disowned you?" Blue said, standing stationary in the middle of a room.
