Chapter 8
-The Meeting-
I cast my eyes downwards.
"Why the glum face?" Terry asked. "You were great, even though you didn't win, you still TIED! And with THE Harry Potter. He NEVER loses, or ties, except that time with the dementors."
I tried to smile. "Thanks Terry. But everyone keeps saying I cheated or something. But I didn't. It was either beginners luck or skill. I think it was beginners luck."
"That must have been the shortest match ever. Both houses scored a point, and then the snitch was caught at the same time. Wow."
As I was walking in the halls, people leered at me angrily, or shook my hand, congratulating me.
That's pretty much how my day went.
"Hey Jennifer." I said, smiling. At least everything with her was going ok.
"Hi Melody. I was just looking for you. Listen, do you want to study with me in the library today? I'm really stinking at charms, and you are acing the class."((Sorry Jennifer. No offense. If you were really at Hogwarts, I bet you would've been great at it.))
"Sure." I answered. I needed to get away from the common room anyways. Too much staring in there. Trust Jennifer to not talk about the match. Thank you Jennifer! I thought to myself.
After a dinner of chicken and mashed potatoes, I went to the girls dormitories and grabbed my charm books. I rushed into the library, to avoid the stares of other people. Jennifer was already waiting for me there.
"Hi Melody! About time you came."
"Sorry! I had to go back to the dorms to get my books."
"That's fine."
"So, what do you need help on?"
"I need to learn how to conjure things."
"Conjuring things are very complex and hard. The best thing I could conjure up is half a toaster."
"Well, help me."
"Ok." I pulled out my wand. "Say these words. Appearo Conjolous." Suddenly a small spoon appeared. "I figured we should start with the easy stuff."((I made up the charm cuz I don't know the real one.))
"Appearo Conjulus." Jennifer waved her wand.
"Appearo Conjolous. Con-joo-lis."
"Appearo Conjolous." A fork appeared. Jennifer smiled happily. "That's a first! I never conjured up ANYTHING before Melody! Thanks!"
"I'll be going now. You can stay in the library and continue conjuring up whatever."
"Thanks Melody! Appearo Conjolous!" A thank-you note appeared in the air in front of me.
I smiled. It felt really good to help people. I rushed out of the library, because Snape gave us a lot of potions homework which I haven't finished yet. As I opened the library door to get out, I was knocked over, and my papers flew everywhere. I yelped.
"Sorry." The knocker held out his hand to help me up. "Bloody hell. I'm so sorry!"
I looked up, and was surprised to see the one and only Harry Potter standing in front of me. I brushed my hair out of my eyes. "I….It's ok. I should've been looking." I sprawled on the ground, gathering my books.
Harry kneeled down and started to help me too. "Sorry. It's Melody, isn't it? Seeker for Ravenclaw."
I sighed. "Yeah, I'm so sorry we tied. It was all beginners luck."
"It's not luck! I know you have skill. You fly incredibly well, you know."
I smiled happily, and blushed. Stupid me. I lost my ability to speak.
I nodded thankfully and went back to the Ravenclaw common room, very aware that Harry was staring at the back of my head as I went.
I sighed happily. I finally got to talk to Harry. And the conversation was smooth, except the fact that I lost my voice, but that alright, right?
NARRATORS POV
((Only occasionally will there be some not Melody POV))
Meanwhile
Harry sighed softly and looked as Melody walked away. He scoffed to himself scornfully.
"What makes you think she'll ever like you?" He muttered to himself. Harry sighed again. She was even prettier than Cho, he thought to himself.
((Ho hum. Sorry this chapter took so long. I'm trying to think of what to write here Review! 3 reviews or no update…))
