Chapter 3: Quidditch Surprises
Isabella found out about Quidditch tryouts and signed up. She knew the pain of the sunlight would be hardly bearable, but she would risk it. On the day of it, she grabbed her Firebolt X1000 and set off to the pitch. She stepped onto the pitch, away from the shade and felt the pain hit her like a million knives. She winced and closed her eyes. When she opened them, the pain was gone and everyone was staring at her. Salathrian showed himself and told Isabella that her hair was the same length, but pure white. Her eyes were also pools of blue. She could feel something behind her and put her hand on her back. She could feel feathers.
"I'm a Light Sprite as well!" cried Isabella. Everyone stared at her. Isabella tried out for Seeker and won. Then, she went to find Madam Hooch and asked if it was against the rules to fly without a broom, but use wings. Madam Hooch stared at her and asked, "Why?" very slowly. Isabella looked at her then stepped into the sun. The pain hit her hard again and she winced. She closed her eyes then opened them. She then looked at Madam Hoch who managed to stutter out, "You're a Light Sprite." Isabella nodded and showed Madam Hooch her wings. She then stepped into the shade where her hair and eyes went back to black. A new thing that happened was that her wings changed from pure white to dark black as well. She smiled and flew out the window. Everyone ran outside or looked out the windows to see who was laughing so much and they saw Isabella. She kept on flying in out of the sun and shade so that everybody could see both of her forms.
The Quidditch match was on. Slytherin against Gryffindor. Isabella had permission to use her wings. The rest of her team was on firebolts. All the Gryffindors complained to Madam Hooch. She merely said there was nothing in the rules about it, so it was allowed. Her wings carried her faster than a Firebolt X1000, so she'd have no problem getting to the snitch. She was up in the air. Thanks to her Vampire and Light Sprite senses combined, she could easily spot things glittering in the light and shade. She felt something behind her and swivelled round. The snitch was right in front of her. In one swift movement, she caught the snitch.
"THE SNITCH IS MINE!" she cried, using her vampire voice. She flew to the ground. It was only three minutes into the match. No one had scored anything. Up in the teachers' stands, all the professors were staring at her, gobsmacked. Isabella smirked and handed the snitch to Madam Hooch. She flew off to her common room. She landed in her dorm and sighed.
"I don't see why I bother around here Salathrian. I can use my Light and Dark powers without getting caught. Should I just leave?" Isabella asked her snake. Salathrian stared at her. Isabella knew what he was saying and changed into her Muggle clothes, carefully concealing her wings. She flew back out the window and stopped at the Quidditch pitch. Everyone was still there.
'Goodbye Kaltrin. I will not return. Ever.' thought Isabella, making sure that it was a direct link to her headmistress and her alone. She looked at the shocked face and smirked. After a while, she flew off.
