Chapter 7:
The next few days passed slowly. Lynn's hair had returned to its normal state- messy & curly, though slightly less so. She appeared to have cut a few inches off it. Sirius, James & Peter were trying as hard as ever to become Animagi & they had now been inspired by Lynn, giving them hope that it wasn't impossible. However, Lynn's teaching didn't seem to have helped much, if it helped at all. Remus was due for another trip to the Shrieking Shack in a few days time with Lynnie as his escort. And the Quiditch season was about to start, which the boys were looking forward to.
While walking to the Gryfinddor Common Room (Lynnie was already in Ravenclaw's), Nathan Ross, Gryfinddor team captain, rushed to tell James & Sirius (who were on the team) some particularly bad news.
"He WHAT?" roared Sirius.
"He quit, he walked out on us! Said it would interfere with his OWL revision, the idiot." fumed Nathan, his blond hair flopping over his right eye in an angry manner. Nathan was known throughout Hogwarts as "Hogwarts' pretty boy". He was angrily telling Sirius & James that Henry Boltagamut, the team's best chaser, had left a day before practice began.
"HOW COULD HE?!" screeched James. "I'm going to look for him & try to talk some sense into him RIGHT NOW!"
James' attempts were in vain. Henry refused and refused. "Stupid sissy swot of a nancy boy." muttered Sirius under his breath - Henry was only a few feet away. Ross had decided to hold Chaser tryouts on Sunday, two days away.
When Sunday finally arrived, Ross(Chaser), James(Seeker), Sirius(beater), Erin Bliss(another Chaser), Edgar Yoof (Beater) & Kori Malory (Keeper) were all VERY disappointed. The 7 people who were there to try out were hopeless.
Gregory Nyanie couldn't tell the difference between the Quaffle & the Bludger & kept on trying to catch the Bludger. Terry Moss couldn't even get on his broom as he had a dreadful fear of heights. Mavies Jones was rather good but wouldn't fly fast as she didn't want to mess her hair. Katie Kimball couldn't HOLD the Quaffle, her hands seemed to be made of butter. Morris Hagar & Louis Brettin would fall off their brooms every time the Quaffle came near them. Anna Fergie was the best of the lot though she kept on scoring in her own hoop.
Eventually, the team decided to have Fergie replace Boltagamut, though not happily. When the boys next met Lynnie, she was in a VERY good mood.
"Hi Skarabug," greeted James, calling Lynn a nickname she HATED. She was in such a good mood, she didn't bother to tell him off for calling her that.
"I MADE THE RAVENCLAW TEAM!" she screamed at the top of her voice, causing many people to look at her and Professor Ahgva had to "SH!" her very loudly.
"That's nice. What position did you get?" asked Peter politely.
"Seeker!" she said, now bouncing & skipping on every alternate step.
"Coolie." James gave her 2 thumbs up. "We'll be competing against each other. What broom are you using?"
"Cleansweep 5, it was just realeased. Has 0 to 45 mph acceleration! You?"
"You'll have a tough time beating Prongs, Skarlin. He's got a Silver Arrow!" announced Sirius for James. A series of "ooooh"s could be heard from a small crowd which was listening intentively.
Lynnie just smirked.
