Harry and Ron had walked down from the boys dormitories. They seemed tired. They must've had a lot of candy the other night because they both weren't hungry that morning.
Harry spotted Vikki and Hermione in the common room, both looking rather excited.
"Good morning, you two." Harry said to them--But the girls just giggled and headed to the hallway closet.
"What the heck was that?" Ron asked Harry in confusion.
"I honestly don't know, Ron. Come on let's go to the Quidditch field." Harry said.
When they arrived at the field, the whole team was cheering for someone in the air.
Harry raised an eyebrow. "Who's that?" he asked, as he saw a blur of a girl, zoom past them and throw the Quaffle into the hoop. Cheers erupted once more and he looked over at Ron.
"Ack! I know who that is! It's Vikki!" said Ron, as he stared at her in wonder.
"What?! Vikki?" asked Harry, not believing what he just heard.
"What the heck is she doing here?" asked Ron, confused.
"Oh don't worry about it boys, just doing a little try out," said Angelina, smiling. "She might be a back-up Seeker, just incase you get into another little accident this year, Potter,"
Vikki flew about fifty feet then she made a dive. She stood up as the broom was diving down. Vikki flipped off her broom. The strange thing is she landed properly on the broom stick. She reached her hand out and she landed.
"Where's the Snitch?" Angelina asked. Vikki opened her hand where the Snitch was. Everyone cheered for Vikki the team.
"That was wonderful, Vikki!" Hermione exclaimed, as she rushed over to her.
"Geesh for two girls who had a fight when they first met you two are sure close to each other now." Ron said finding that strange.
"Well, did I make it?'' Vikki asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Well, you are a perfect candidate you do well in every position in Quidditch. So you are definately back-up Seeker, and your our new Chaser!" Everyone applauded and cheered for Vikki.
"Party in the Gryffindor common room tonight!" Fred and George yelled across the field as they ran to brag about Vikki to the other teams.
"Congratulations!" Everyone shouted. Then everyone froze. They all looked at Vikki in confusion. It was for the first time everyone had seen her scar they all stared in bewilderment.
"Vikki, did you paint that on your head for confidence or something?" asked Ginny.
"No, it's real and I rather not tell the story so the public can spread wildfire about me and my scar." She said. They all got the picture now what happened as they left the field to tell everyone what they witnessed.
"Come on you guys we'd better get going you don't want to be late for potions class now do you?" Hermione said as she was walking rather fast towards the castle.
"What? That's a perfect way to start the morning; Potions. That's just crazy!" Ron whined as they all walked towards the castle to practically be tortured by Professor Severus Snape.
"Hey are you guys coming?'' Ron asked.
"Hello? Quidditch robes!" Vikki said, as she ran to go change.
"Oh, yeah. Well, we'll go ahead you have exactly ten minutes to get to class, so hurry up." Said Hermione, as she and Ron ran down the stairs.
Harry went to go change. Harry quickly walked down the stairs and raised an eyebrow as he realized Vikki was waiting for him. "Thanks for waitng." he said.
"No problem. Come on we only have five minutes left and potions class is all the way down in the dungeons!" Vikki exclaimed.
"Then we better get a move on. Or else we will be very late," said Harry.
They both ran down the stairs. They passed the halls the sixth years stared then Harry froze Cho Chang, was down the hall talking with a group of friends.
"Harry! Come on we got less than two minutes left!" Exclaimed Vikki. Harry seemed to be in a daze, he started to walk a bit slower, which really wasn't helping their situation really. "Only a couple classrooms more." She panted.
Harry looked over at her and finally snapped out of his little fantasy.
"Come on! Run faster we only got about fifthy five seconds left!" Vikki shouted.
They ran down to the dungeons their hands still locking onto each others and their time was running out.... Ten, nine, eight, seven six.... Vikki had turned the corridor... Five, four, three, She reached for the door and slammed it open ran in...
One.
Snape looked up from his desk. "You two are right on time should I count you late? What is you're excuse? Explain yourselfs at once.'' Snape snapped.
"Um--I um--Well, we were coming up the stairs and we realized we might be late, so we ran across a few distractions along the way and Harry was going to be late also so... now we're here..." Vikki said, staring awkwardly at the floor.
"Number one: You should only care about yourself, why risk being late for him?" Snape asked Vikki.
"Well he's my friend Professor, I'd risk my life for him and all my friends if I have to. I wouldn't want him to get a detention. So I helped him out." Vikki explained, as she hoped he believed her.
"Number two: That gives you no excuse to hold his hand." Snape said, with a slight smirk on his face. Everybody laughed. They had forgotten to let go when they got to class. They immediantly let go with embarassed looks on their faces and they blushed wildly.
"Now, I assume you two know where you're seats are. So get to them. And twenty points from Gryffindor." Snape snapped.
Malfoy watched them pass by with a smirk on his face. "What's the matter Potter miss that silky smooth skin touching yours?" Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle laughed at them. Harry felt anger rising like a thermometer in his body. He wanted to punch him straight dead in the nose. He wouldn't care about the punishment, he'd enjoy sweet revenge.
