Hi guys, I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who reviewed and followed!

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter

The rest of the week passed quickly and without any incidents. Saturday morning dawned bright and early and for once Aaliyah was the first one up, the Gryfindoor Quidditch try-outs were today. Despite her brother's moaning that she should try out, Aaliyah was simply going to watch. The team was in need of a new Beater and Seeker but technically every position was up for grabs. Aaliyah had no doubts that her brother would make it on the team, as he had every year since his 3rd year.

This Captain this year was Potter and as much as Aaliyah hated to admit it he was talented. All of her brother's friends were on the team last year, Fred played beater, Ciaran was Keeper and Potter and her brother were Chasers. Even if Aaliyah had wanted to be on the team it wouldn't have mattered because a fifth year, by the name of Allison Murphy held the final Chaser position and she was Gryfindoor's star-chaser.

Aaliyah put on a comfy pair of leggings and a warm hoodie, she tied her hair up into a messy bun at the top of her head. She then began to wake the other girls, Kensy was the easiest to get up and began to get dressed, sleepily muttering about how a lady rises with the sun (If you asked Aaliyah she'll tell you that a lady rises whenever the hell she wants).

Annie was slightly harder to wake as she was wrapped up tightly in about five different blankets and was cuddling her latest romance novel but after some severe poking she got up and was currently rubbing her eyes and yawning.

Rose was the hardest to get up, being the perfect prefect she is she always makes sure to get up early on weekdays which meant that she loved to thoroughly take advantage of weekends and was at present snoring softly in her bed, her curly hair sticking up in opposite directions. Aaliyah tried poking her, pulling off her blankets and hitting her with her pillow, it seemed that the only thing that was able to wake Rose was the alarm clock her mother gave her, but Aaliyah didn't know how to work the muggle contraption.

Aaliyah did not want to risk leaving her and having to suffer the fiery red-head's temper later. So instead she tried a different tactic, she bent down low and pushed Rose's hair from her ear. Aaliyah thought for a second then she whispered 'I think Malfoy likes you' and it did the trick.

Rose sat up like a shot 'Really?' she asked excitedly, then she seemed to get a hold of herself, she stuck her nose in the air 'Not that I care or anything, I was just thinking about um.. how I would be able to use that against him'.

Aaliyah giggled 'You sure you don't care Rose, you seemed very excited' she teased.

'Of course not' she insisted, then she lowered her voice a bit 'It's not true is it'.

Aaliyah shook her head and noticed with glee the way Rose's face fell slightly, she decided to make it her goal to get them together. Kensy had been watching the whole exchange raised a brow 'You planning on getting dressed lover girl?' she called while putting on her shoes.

Rose blushed and hastily began to get dressed, she pulled on a purple jumper over her pyjama top and slipped on a pair of tracksuit bottoms. She tried to comb her hair but the brush kept getting stuck in her curly locks, she groaned 'Oh I give up!' and pulled a garishly orange woolly hat with the Chudley Cannons logo on it over her head. She slipped on an old pair of trainers and turned to us 'Finished' she said smugly gesturing to her odd ensemble.

Kensy scoffed in her choice of outfit but in Rose's defence not everyone had the energy to gel their hair and match their shoes to their nail polish at 8 o'clock on a Saturday morning like Kensy did.

Aaliyah pulled on a coat over her green knitted jumper and bounced her way down the stairs. The other girls trailed behind her with less enthusiasm. Aaliyah let out a sigh as she smelt the scent of breakfast wafting out of the great hall, her love of Quidditch only slightly surpassed her love of food. She had to remind herself that it was a weekend and that she would be free to gorge herself on bacon in the kitchens once the trials were over.

They walked down to the pitch and Aaliyah wrapped her arms around herself for warmth. The sky was a dull grey and she was thankful it wasn't raining. They climbed the wooden stairs to the stands and Aaliyah jumped up them two steps at a time, excited for today's tryouts. The other girls walked behind her at a much more subdued pace and by the time they reached the top Annie was muttering about how she was mad to want to do this so early.

They sat down in the middle of the stands and huddled together for warmth. She looked down at the pitch and could see her brother laughing with his friends and Allison Murphy, the third Gryffinndor chaser. She was a fifth year and was wicked fast on a broom.

Her brother caught her eye and grinned up at her offering her a lazy wave. She grinned back, waggling her fingers in his direction. Kensy leaned her blonde head on her shoulder 'Not to be weird Lea, but your brother's gotten right hot over the summer' she said biting her lip.

Aaliyah scrunched up her face 'If you insist on being horny for my brother can you please to it elsewhere' she groaned.

Annie laughed 'Her horniness is the main aspect of her personality, Lea'

Kensy scowled and shoved Annie in the shoulder 'No it isn't'

Rose grinned 'She's right her slutiness is' , The girls lost it at that and broke into fits of laughter and didn't stop until Aaliyah shushed them all.

'Tryouts are starting shut up'. The girls settled down apart from a few whispers that Aaliyah blocked out, she was too focused on what was happening on the pitch.

Potter began shouting orders at them to divide up by position they were trying out for, she recognised a few familiar faces in the crowd a right number of whom were Rose's cousins. The players began flying laps around the pitch which quickly thinned out the weaklings. One bright red blur stood out to her, she identified the girl as Lily Potter and she was currently zooming around the pitch passing out all the other flyers. That girl had serious promise and if she remembered correctly she was only a fourth year. Her skill on a broom was not surprising though considering who her family is.

Tryouts continued and the seekers were sent to search for the snitch. She then turned her attention to the Beater's. Richard Smith a boy in her year looked promising he had good aim but his swings were lacking in strength. What surprised her though was Roxanne Weasley none other than the sister of Freddie Weasley. She was a third year and was tiny compared to the rest of the players trying out for the position but she swung her bat at the bludger with such strength that a large crack echoed around the pitch.

Aaliyah raised her eyebrows 'Hmph'

Rose laughed 'Uncle George has had Roxy hitting bludgers as soon as she was big enough to hold a bat'.

Kensy shook her head 'Only Weasleys are that mad about Quidditch'

'I don't know' Annie butted in 'Lea and Christopher could sure give them a run for their money'

'I still don't understand why you're not trying out Lea' Rose said shaking her head.

Aaliyah rolled her eyes 'I've already told you a million times, there's no places free on the team'

'Ya but Allison didn't get on the team until our fourth year which is three year that you could've but didn't try out' Rose argued.

'Look can you just drop it' she sighed

Rose pouted 'fine but if you don't try out next year I'll drag you down to the pitch by your hair'

Aaliyah snorted 'Okay, you've made your point'.

Rose grinned triumphantly 'I'm holding you to that'

Aaliyah sighed because she knew that Rose would definitely hold her too it.

The tryouts had finished and unsurprisingly Lilly Potter and Roxanne Weasley were the new additions to the team as seeker and beater respectively. Although she had to admit if she didn't know how much Potter wanted to win this year it would look rather fishy that Allison was the only member of the team with no personal ties to Potter.

Clearly some other people had thought of this too as Cassidy Vane was currently arguing with him 'It's not fair, you obviously only put her on the team because she's your sister!' she ranted 'The only reason half these people are even on the team is because they're your friends anyway'.

Aaliyah's jaw dropped in outrage, her brother may be the most annoying person in Hogwarts but no one can claim he has no talent and get away with it 'Actually Cassidy they're on the team because they have talent something that you obviously lack' she said giving her a scathing look. Kensy burst out laughing 'You absolute Queen Lea!' she whispered in a low tone and Aaliyah heard Freddie whistle appreciatively.

Cassidy spluttered 'Ya well I didn't want to be on this team anyway' she said before storming off.

'Merlin Lea, since when are you such a bitch' Annie giggled giving her a praising look.

Aaliyah shrugged, she'd came after her brother what was she supposed to do.

She was pulled from my stupor by Potter's angry voice 'I was handling her just fine, I didn't need you butting in like that'

Aaliyah was a bit hurt by his harsh tone but it was Potter so what could she expect. So, she simply rolled your eyes 'Don't flatter yourself, I didn't do it for you' she turned to her brother who was watching them with a worried look on his face 'I did it because I didn't waste my whole summer helping you practice just so Cassidy Vane of all people could say that your only on the team because you're friends with him ' she said gesturing to Potter.

Christopher mimed wiping away tears 'I didn't realise you cared so much'.

Aaliyah rolled her eyes and said teasingly 'Of course I care, you're an idiot but you're my idiot'.

He held a hand to his heart 'I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me'.

She shoved him gently and he responded by wrapping his arm around her shoulders and ruffling her hair.

'Well I'm hungry so.. Race you!' he called before breaking into a sprint towards the castle.

Aaliyah gasped and took off after him, abandoning her friends as her competitive nature took over but she looked behind her just in time to see Potter glaring at her retreating figure. She grinned Aaliyah: 2 Potter: 0.

Sorry it took so long but that's it! Enjoy!
