Once again, I don't own any rights to this, just for fun.

Proceed with caution, this is a pile of mush, unbeted and please read the note at the end of this.

The first of September had been on a Thursday and this meant that the students were fortunate to have only one day of school before the weekend. Traditionally the trials for the house quidditch teams were on the first weekend after September first, so this is why Harry Potter was up early writing out notices about trials. Unknown to him else where in the castle there were three others who were also doing the same. While Harry was hunched in a chair by fire in Gryffindor tower, Draco Malfoy was stretched out on a couch in the heads common room, Michael Corner was sitting in a winged chair in the Ravenclaw common room and Susan Bones was stretched out the floor in front of the fire place in the Hufflepuff common room. All four captains were scribbling out notices which informed their houses respectively that everyone, including current teams members would have to try out for their places. This just meant that everyone would have a fair chance but everyone who was already a team member were almost guaranteed there place back. The bells in the court yard alerted them all that it was now 7am and breakfast would start soon, and if you wanted to eat before classes you had to be there between 7.15 and 8.45 if you wanted to eat before classes which commenced at 9am. So with breakfast in their minds they all packed up there things and pinned their notice to their common room notice boards, except for Draco of course he had to go to the Slytherin common room to put his up.

Blaise Zabini's P.O.V.

I jerked awake as the bells in the school court yard rang out, I suppose I better go and get breakfast. I will also be able to find out what is happening with Mya. Pulling my protesting body out of bed I practically threw my body under the spray of the shower. Every dormitory at Hogwarts had a bathroom, luckily in seventh year they believed that the year group should have their own bathroom, one which they didn't have to share with the entire house. (I mean the seventh year boys have a bathroom and so do the girls and years one to six have to share one huge bathroom.)

Once I felt I had woken up I climbed out of the steamed shower cubicle and wrapped my towel firmly around my hips. Going through the door which lead back to the seventh year's dormitory and it was there that I found someone waiting for me already. Sitting upon my bed with his white blond hair hanging around his face was Draco. It was a strange thing, Draco Malfoy up before eight in the morning! He must have heard me as I entered the room because it was at this point that his head flicked up and his silver eyes met my own. I raised an inquisitive eyebrow at him.

"I had to get a Quidditch notice up." Satisfied with his answer I continued towards him and began to rummage through my trunk for my uniform.

"So what's the notice about?"

"The usual, trials this weekend, everyone must come and trial or in your case retrial. Dumbledore seems to think that it is the only fair way to select team members. I don't know what happened to the days when you could be selected for pure talent?" I snorted at his last statement.

"Yes, the day when Harry earned his way onto the team?"

"Yea. . . Hey!" He yelled, it took him a while to click on that. "I earned my way on?"

"Last year you mean?"

"Shut up!" I enjoyed hassling Draco about how he originally got onto the team. He actually is a good player but Flint had been very reluctant about letting a second year onto the team years ago, let alone putting him in the position of seeker. Mr. Malfoy had simply persuaded Flint that Draco was good for the team. Of course those who doubted this simply had to attend the Slytherin Quidditch try outs to see the evidence.

"So when are the trials?"

"Saturday afternoon."

"Right, I wonder what team Mya will be able to play for?"

"Good point, we should remind her to ask Dumbledore. You think she still wants to play?"

"I think so; otherwise we will have to convince her. She actually has a flare for it." Throughout our whole conversation I had been getting changed. Good thing about being a guy, once you had some boxer shorts on you were fine. Of course I had my full uniform on now as we made out way out of the Slytherin seventh year boys dormitory.

"I hope she can play for Slytherin, after all doesn't Gryffindor already have enough chasers?"

"Your right, well that's an argument to put to Dumbledore; where is Mya by the way?"

"She should still be in the heads common room; do you want to go past on the way to the Great Hall?"

"Yeah, smart idea."

"Alright then, I shall show you the way." We made our way out of the Slytherin common room and headed towards the Great Hall as usual but upon reaching the main passage way we turned left instead of right. Less than a minute later I found myself standing in front of a portrait containing two cats and a young woman about my own age with curly brown hair, hazel eyes and clothes straight from the sixties.

"Hi Julia, this is Blaise, Myas twin. He will have the passwords also, ok?"

"Ok, I need the password now though."

"Ring tailed."

"Excellent."

"Smart password Draco!" He looked at me with a blank look, "Let me guess she chose it?" He nodded. "And to think that they made you head boy! The ginger cat, it had a ring tail!" I can't believe he didn't click on it, he's usually rather observe. The tail was rather obvious! He really is a blond sometimes. Anyway the portrait swung open and revealed a very cosy and comfortable common room. I let out a low whistle, this place was nice, and maybe I should have worked harder over the years. I heard a door being kicked shut and looking up I saw my twin coming down a spiral staircase.

"Blaise! What are you doing here?" She exclaimed obviously surprised.

"Nice to see you too. Draco thought that I might like to see my sister and find out what is happening about you being in two houses."

"Oh Blaise you know I didn't mean it like that! I was just surprised. Professor Dumbledore left last night to find the official rules; they had been drawn up for Michelle Lonsdale." I raised a questioning eyebrow at her. "Michelle Lonsdale was here in 1965, she was sorted into Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. They will probably have to revise the rules a bit; since I'm in Gryffindor and Slytherin. Professor Dumbledore sent me an owl this morning requesting that I see him this evening. He said that I can choose where I sit in the Great Hall, either at Gryffindor or Slytherin table so I have decided to alternate; so today I'm having breakfast and dinner with Harry and Ron and lunch with you guys." I can see the logic in that.

"Which Quidditch team are you going to try out for?" Draco blurted out; I was planning on asking her that bit perhaps more subtly.

I wasn't planning on posting this for a while; I was going to get it longer. I haven't updated in ages because I got incredibly sick and the doctors wanted to put me into hospital but I got a bit better so I avoided that but I missed a week of school which resulted in me getting really behind in my work. I have lost mental function several times due to stress (eg. Blue tacking my cell phone to my head to see how long it could stay there – 10 minutes by the way.). I have got an incredibly large amount of stress on me at the moment through all my end of year exams (starting tomorrow) and my boards which have to be sent away in four days are they need a lot more work. I decided to post this to once again say that yes I am continuing this story and to make sure that people were still reading it. I also wanted to say to the people that leave reviews saying update or else I will give up reading this story, I actually don't care what you have to say – if you will give up reading because I actually have a life and I have lots of work to do and you can't understand that then it is really your loss and your choice. Now that my rant is over I hope that I get a review or two but I don't have my fingers crossed.

Lady Prongs – I need ya email again to alert you, my email contacts disappeared a while ago.

To everyone else who reviewed, thanks so much and I really appreciate it.

I made the important parts in bold! p
