Hello guys, thanks for reading the last update, it was a lot of fun to write No reviews to reply to so on with the story.
It was only a week before the first Quidditch game of the season; Gryffindor versus Slytherin. That afternoon there was a practice booked for the Slytherin team on the Quidditch pitch.
Cassi got changed in a rush, excited to get into the air and train. When she reached the pitch all the team players were laughing at something and Pansy Parkinson was there for reasons Cassi knew not.
"Hey Cassi, come over here, you've got to hear this!"
It was Draco, Cassi ran over excited to hear the joke.
"You probably know that Gryffindor's new keeper is that muggle lover Ron Weasley."
Cassi nodded, suddenly apprehensive.
"Pansy came up with a song for us to chant at the game, Weasley's so stupid it's bound to throw him off!" Draco laughed.
Draco handed her a piece of parchment on which Cassi assumed was the chant. On it, scrawled in messy writing Cassi assumed was Pansy's read:
Weasley cannot save a thing,
He cannot block a single ring,
That's why Slytherins all sing:
Weasley is our King.
Weasley was born in a bin
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley will make sure we win
Weasley is our King.
Weasley is our King,
Weasley is our King,
He always lets the Quaffle in
Weasley is our King.
Cassi stood in shock at what she had just read. How would this be allowed by teacher or anyone and would the whole of Slytherin house really be so mean as to chant this in front of the entire school?
"Guys, this is really mean..." She said quietly.
"Yeah, that's kind of the point," Said Crabbe oafishly.
"Draco, can I talk to you for a second..." Cassi asked in a whisper. Draco nodded, looking concerned.
They walked off to the fence next to the changing rooms.
Draco looked at Cassi expectantly. She took a deep breath.
"Draco, this is really unkind. I don't think it's a good idea! What will everyone think of the Slytherin house if we can't even try to win the game by skill, not to mention that Ron Weasley has done nothing to us, why should he deserve this?"
"Cassi, you're not backing out on this are you?"
"Yeah, I think I am Draco!" Her voice had risen to a near yell.
"Well, the team aren't going to like that, and they certainly won't want to give up the chant!"
"Then I resign Draco, that's it! I RESIGN!"
Draco looked at her in shock.
"You don't mean that do you Low?"
"I do, and I think if I'm resigning and you're so into this petty scheme of yours, we should break up! You're always so mean to everyone. I put up with it because I thought you could change buit I honestly can't believe you!"
"Jesus Low, are you kidding me? You know what, I'm not surprised, and you're just a traitor to this house! You go crawling back to your Gryffindor buddies but no one will ever like a Slytherin, and no one in Slytherin will like you. You've made a bad move..."
"If being a traitor to Slytherin means being a decent human being, then I wish I was never sorted here. This is not what Slytherin is about. God I never realized what an asshole you really were!"
Cassi walked into the changing room to yells from her former team.
"Traitor!"
"Idiot!"
"Runt!"
Cassi ripped of her Slytherin robes throwing them into a heap on the floor. A tear rolled down her face.
Typical, just typical. The first nice person I meet just happens to actually be the most obnoxious, slug faced troll I've ever met!
She walked out of the changing room, her school uniform scruffy and her tie not properly done up.
On her way back to the castle she bumped into Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Sorry," she murmured, walking by.
"Wait!"
It was Harry.
"Why are you crying?" Cassi wiped a tear roughly off her cheek as she saw Hermione nudge Harry warningly.
"Nothing..." Cassi replied, taking a step further towards the castle.
"Why don't you come see Hagrid with us, you're on the Slytherin Quidditch team aren't you?"
Cassi was overcome with the well meaning and kindness in Harry's eyes so she nodded and walked towards them.
"That would be really great, yeah." She sniffed.
Hagrid was surprised to see Cassi with Ron, Hermione and Harry but nevertheless he poured her a bucked sized cup of tea and a plate of rock cakes so hard they half broke her teeth.
She smiled at him warmly, albeit shyly.
"So, do ye mind tellin' me why yer so upset now?" Hagrid smiled gruffly.
"I broke up with my boyfriend... turns out he's an ass." Cassi sniffed.
"Took you some time to come round to that didn't you." Ron remarked coolly.
"Ronald," Hermione barked, "stop being such a Pratt."
Cassi grinned.
"Wait, I'm missin' some'ing. Who's Cassi's boyfriend?"
"Draco Malfoy." The four of them chorused together."
Hagrid grimaced.
"It ain't that I don't respect yer choices, but, e's a bit..." Hagrid trailed off.
Cassi nodded.
"I was stupid to think he was nice, he only ever was nice to me and, well. I finally realised it today."
"What happened?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Well he, uh... we were at training and the Slytherin team have made some nasty chant about... well, your Quidditch team."
Ron scowled at her and opened his mouth to say something angry.
"Naturally I had no part in it and I quit upon hearing the chant." Cassi hastened.
Ron closed his mouth but Hermione still looked curious.
"What was the chant about though?"
Cassi shifted uncomfortably. This was an awkward situation for everyone. The group of them had leant in close r to hear her and they were all waiting, expectantly.
"It was about, well. Ron. I don't really want to say the word but it's... not very nice." She gushed.
Ron turned a violent shade of puce and leant back in his chair looking angry, embarrassed and nervous.
Cassi put her face in her hands as Harry and Hermione consoled Ron.
Hermione looked up at Cassi and said kindly, "Well you're welcome to hang around with us now, seeing as you and Malfoy aren't on great terms anymore."
Cassi smiled.
"You know what. I think I'll take you up on that. It will be nice to have friends who's humour doesn't rely on making fun of other people."
"Except Malfoy," Harry grinned.
Cassi laughed.
"Of course, except Malfoy."
