Chapter 11

Nehal leaned against her broom watching the Gryffindor file in the Quidditch pitch. Jackie stood besides her squealing, every time a hot guy walked in. She kept this up, until Nehal kicked her.

Jackie said, "Ow! There was no need for that!"

"If you stop sounding like a guinea pig!" said Nehal eyeing the boys. "Time to start! Jackie go join them!"

"Say what?"

"Pick a cute guy and stand beside him."

"Okay!" Jackie practically skipped.

"Okay!" said Nehal. "My name is Nehal, and…" In the corner of her eye, she saw Draco and Ian. "Excuse me boys." Nehal smiled. "And girl."

All the boys looked at Jackie.

"Hi?" Jackie said uncertainly.

Nehal walked over to Draco and Ian. "Bargaining for another fight?"

Ian said, "Where's your captain?"

Draco rolled his eyes. He was the one who was supposed to take charge.

"How did you know we were having tryouts?" said Nehal, avoiding the earlier question.

"Danielle!" Ian said before he could stop himself. Nehal made a mental note to have a chat with Danielle. She saw the boys on the pitch getting restless.

Nehal replied, "If you insist on watching you can, otherwise please go!"

Draco smirked, "We'll stay."

Nehal turned her back on them and motioned Jackie and the boys to gather around her. "Alright! Just so you know I'm Quidditch captain. So this is what you're going to do!" Nehal whispered the instructions so Draco and Ian couldn't hear.

No one was trying out for seeker, so Jackie did not have any competition. It was also a good thing because as Nehal was dealing with Draco, Jackie had gotten to know the boys well.

The boys grouped into three groups. Keepers, Chasers and Beaters. As they grouped up Jackie provided background information.

Jackie said, "Those two trying out for keeper, are inexperienced. Better choose Ron!"

Nehal said, "I already decided on that Jackie!"

"Oh!"

"Anything I don't know?" questioned Nehal

"Will and David are trying out for chasers, but they are better at beaters!"

"Whose captain here Jaxs?"

"You!" Jackie said without hesitation.

"Right. Let's keep that way. You and Ron can be my helpers!"

"Cool!" said Jackie. So as per Jackie's advice or rather statement. Nehal asked Will and David to be beaters. She set Ron for keeper and she Jackie and a boy named Jonathan pretended to be the opposing team. Turned out, Jackie was right. And Jonathan was a good chaser.

Jackie said, "He is so amazingly cute."

Nehal said, "Let's focus here Jackie! We have two beaters, a keeper, a seeker and two chasers. We're short one!"

"Relax! Try that hottie, Daryl. He's good for speed!" suggested Jackie

"Are you talking Quidditch or relationship wise?" joked Nehal.

Jackie made a face. (LOL)

Nehal laughed and called Daryl.

After watching his performance including some others, Nehal decided to pack up.

Nehal whispered to the players, "Okay! List will be posted tomorrow! Whoever makes it, practice Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays evenings!"

"Why are you whispering Nehal?" asked Ron

"We managed a whole tryout without Draco knowing who the captain is!" said Jackie. "Good job team!" She said loudly grinning at Nehal. Misleading Draco was so much fun! As they walked back to the castle, Ron came in step with Nehal.

Ron said, "So…know who made it?"

"Wait until tomorrow!" answered Nehal

The next day…

Danielle said, "So Nehal when are you posting the results?"

"I've been meaning to talk to you Danie." said Nehal.

Heather said, "Uh oh! Danielle's in trouble."

Danielle replied, "Okay…"

Nehal said, "Why did you tell Ian, we had tryouts?"

"I…I…I…didn't tell him whose captain though!" Danielle said stoutly.

"Good! But if he asks you anything about Quidditch, say you don't know. Okay?"

"Okay and sorry."

"Oh don't worry Danie!" said Jackie, "They think I'm the captain!"

"Wow! That's perfect and I can go along with that too!" said Danielle

"Posted yet?" asked Ron.

"Posting." answered Nehal. It read:

Seeker- Jackie

Keeper- Ron

Beaters- Will and David

Chasers- Jonathan and Daryl

Remember! Practice Tues, Weds and Thurs. in the evening. Thank you everyone that tried out!

"Thanks for crossing out the ald." said Ron. "In my name."

"It sounded weird!" said Nehal looking up at him.

"You did a great job yesterday!" Ron smiled at Nehal and left.

Nehal said, "Talk about boy problems."

Jackie smiled weakly.

Nehal sighed, "So many guys, so many choices!" She started packing up for Herbology with the Hufflepuffs, and Divination with Ravenclaw. Jackie followed Nehal in same suit. Danielle and Heather had already made their way to class.

"I wish I was a chaser!" said Jackie out of the blue.

"Why?" questioned Nehal

"Well…they get the action and the boys. I just hover above their heads!"

"And when you catch the snitch, they'll be around you like bees in a beehive!" smiled Nehal.

"Thanks Neh Neh."

"Just telling the truth, come on time to see your new lover Colt."

In Herbology the class planted flowers, trees and took notes. Now it was time for their next class divination.

"I hate this latter!" said Heather as she slowly climbed up.

Jackie got shivered.

"You cold?" said a voice behind her. It was Riley with a patch over his nose.

"Omg!" yelled Jackie. "Did you get a nose job? Where did you get it done? How much does it cost?"

"What the hell are you talking about bitch?"

Nehal said, "Hey no one calls Jackie a bitch except for me!"

"What about me?" said Heather

Jackie looked at Riley. "You did get a nose job…right?"

Riley laughed, "No."

"He got it from Malfoy." said Fiona who came down the latter.

"Fiona!" The girls said and gave her a hug.

Fiona said, "Professor Trelawney says to stop talking and get to class!"

As Jackie was climbing the ladder she said, "I didn't know Draco could do plastic surgery."

The girls along with Fiona sat together. (It's a circular table)

Professor Trelawney said, "Today we will be working on star graphs!"

"That's all?" asked Danielle

"Well…would you like more to do?"

"No I was just…"

"Good because I need to get ready for lunch to meet Mrs. Brath." (Mrs. Brath was my old elementary school art teacher but she reminds me so much of Trelawney)

Nehal whispered to her friends, "Man Slimeball really beat up Riley."

"I know." added Fiona. "But he's such a jerk he totally deserved it. And I'm sure he knew that it was coming."

"Those were some amazing punches he threw…I should teach him some more techniques together we could kick Riley' ass."

Jackie mimicked Nehal, but Heather noticed it.

Heather said, "Is there something wrong Jaxs?"

Jackie said, "Nope. Nothing's wrong."

"Well when I'm upset I usually have a muffin."

"Wow you must be upset often." muttered Jackie

"What?"

"I said I'm sure it helps Heather."

"It does!"

Jackie smiled. She looked around the classroom when her gaze landed on Riley, who was staring at her.

Riley mouthed, "Your dead!"

Jackie thought, "Uh oh! He must know about the car…oh no I'm going to get beaten up or even worse die! Now I will never get a nose job or tell Draco that we should get back together…wait a minute what am I talking about it's so obvious that Nehal likes Draco. Omg this is so confusing."

"Jackie!" said Heather. She started snapping her fingers in front of Jackie's face.

"Say what?" Jackie said coming out of her daze.

"What's up with you?"

"Nothing."

"Sure…you keep thinking that."

Ring! The bell rang.

The girls headed towards lunch. Every so often Jackie could feel Riley's eyes on the back of her head.

Nehal saw Draco coming and wanted to congratulate him. "I'll be right back." She ran towards Draco. "Malfoy!"

Draco turned around, "What do you want now?"

"Ian and you fight well. First Ian breaks Cory's arm and you break Riley's nose. I must say I am impressed when I fought you last year all you got was a black eye and of course you didn't hit me back."

"Yeah well I've been going to the gym and working out a lot."

Nehal muttered, "I bet Jackie would like that."

Draco looked at Nehal, "Would she?"

"You weren't supposed to hear that!"

Draco smirked. "I'm not supposed to hear a lot of things." He then walked away and glanced at Jackie who looked frightened and angry for some reason.

Nehal smiled at Draco and sat back down at the Gryffindor table.

"Nehal, you're hitting on the wrong person!" Jackie said angrily

"I'm not hitting on anyone!" protested Nehal surprised at Jackie's attitude.

"Okay!" Jackie said because she didn't want to start a fight. She spotted Colt. "Hey Colt!"

"Hey are you okay?" asked Colt concerned.

"Oh I'm fine. Where's Rocky?"

"He decided to skip lunch. He said he didn't feel well."

"Too bad! The food is great. Did you hear that Nehal?"

"Yes."

Jackie saw Draco get up and decided to talk to him about was going on between him and Nehal. "Omg I just remembered I have to do something. Lates!"

Riley noticed Jackie get up and followed her. He wanted to know where his car was and why she and her friends stole it.

"Draco!" yelled Jackie from down the Hogwarts corridors.

Draco grinned when he saw Jackie, "Hey Jaxs. Congratulations."

"Say what?"

"On being Quidditch captain!"

"Your Quidditch captain!" said Riley who caught up with Jackie.

Jackie gulped, "Um…yeah I am."

Riley said, "Can't wait to knock you off your broom."

"Can't possibly, with me hovering over your empty head!" Jackie snapped and walked away. Draco and Riley stared open-mouthed.

"Anger management." Riley shook his head and walked to the Ravenclaw table.

Draco just stared at Jackie's ass as she walked away.
