Finals
It was a warm evening outside and there were celebrations in the Gryffindor common room. We had just won 350-40 against Slytherin in the quidditch final. I had scored lots and actually got to try out some moves I had been working on with Shane, so the celebrations are going unbelievably. We are rapidly becoming known as the 'Dream Team'! Wow my life is so good lately, I thought as I stood in the middle of the common room before I was tackled by Mark Jordon from Shane's year. Before I knew it I was hoisted up on his shoulders and passed around among most of the Gryffindor guys while they shouted,
"Pass the chaser!" "..and Cara Jameson wins another the quidditch cup for GGGRRRryyyfffindor!" Then they placed me on top of a book shelf and refused to let me down. I was roaring laughing and decided to give them a bit of a surprise! I winked at Shane and getting the message he cleared the floor in front of the bookcase without anyone noticing! The guys were still laughing at themselves and at me and were now planning to charm me into a frame and leave me there! Ok on the count of three….1…..2…..3 with that I did a two and a half front somersaults with a twist added for good measure and landed neatly on my feet! Shane, Nicky, Oliver and Jesse were laughing as they were the only ones who knew of my gymnastic abilities! Everyone else looked like they'd seen Snape give them a free class, half had confused looks and the other half had their mouths dropped in astonishment. I chuckled to myself. I didn't like to blurt about what I did at home. My roommates only knew because I tended to practice a bit in my room. All of a sudden I found myself bombarded by questions like, " How did you do that, you didn't have your wand!"
The people from wizarding families couldn't comprehend what I had just done, then I noticed that the muggle born people actually didn't seem so shocked. The common room went back to normal, then Tom Byron came up to my and told me he had been a fan of mine and followed my competitions in the muggle world! Was I shocked or what! For the next hour a handful more people came up to me saying pretty much the same thing! The funny part was Charlie was sitting in the corner alone, glaring at everyone. I'm supposed to hate him right now, and well I do but he is a nice guy normally, he's just in a rut, I hope he finds his feet soon.
The celebrations continued all week and soon we were all headed home on the Hogwarts Express.
Myself and Shane flooed from Kings Cross to the temporary home my parents bought when my dad moved to Puddlemere, it isn't as big as our real home but it's cosy. Shane landed in our living room ahead of me but I ran past him to bear-hug my parents. "Honey you've gotten so tall, how was the trip, you must be frozen, come on the fire is lit, warm yourself up!" My mother greeted us in her dressing gown, I ignored the roaring fire and ran over to my dad. He picked me up and swung me around, I love when he does that, makes me feel like a kid again!
"Wo squirt you're getting to tall to be swinging around like this! Could you grab my slippers out of the bedroom please?"
"Sure!" I walked through the hallway towards the back bedroom. I opened the door and nearly jumped out of my skin! My two older brothers were standing infront of me!
"Hey sis, miss us?" they shouted as I stood there with my jaw open, I thought they were supposed to be in Ireland.
"Holy Dumbledory when did you guys... What!"
"Holy Dumbledory? You are spending way too much time with the Weasley twins!" Brendan teased.
"Ah shut up, and that was one of my own, thanks! Come on and surprise Shane!" I beckoned them to follow as I headed back towards the living room. Shanes back was turned as we entered the room so Rory just rested his elbow on his shoulder. Shane, thinking it was me, tried to rest his elbow on my shoulder in return, but Rory is quiet a bit taller than me so he stumbled and fell to the ground. We all burst out laughing at him, poor guy was utterly confused until he saw Rory and Brendan staring down and laughing at him!
"Where the azkaban did you guys come from?" he asked as he stood up.
"Well Shane we didn't think this day would come but when a man and a women love each other...!" Before we got an insight into the miracle of life, Shane, Brendan and Rory were chasing around the apartment and wrestling, some things just don't change! We spent the night catching up with each other before I said goodnight and headed to my bedroom for some well deserved sleep. Tomorrow I was to go back to Ireland for a couple of days before leaving for Florida for over a month. It's going to be a busy summer, but that's what I need right now especially since I haven't been doing as much training as I should have been and it's sure to take my mind off Charlie.
