"Katie, its time for your dance lessons, come along now a lady should never be late." My mother knocked on my door.
Ugh, dance lessons. I had to take them three times a week over the summer so as my mother said I would be "proficient in ballroom dancing as a lady should".
Jared was around here somewhere and of course I knew he would be playing quidditch with his friends. I wish I didn't have any of this pureblood lady nonsense to deal with so I could actually get some practice in before the season started.
Oliver was going to kill me when I got back I was so out of shape. It was his last season to win the cup to, he would be graduating in the spring. Thankfully I would have two more chances at it.
"May I cut in?" A smooth voice asked my instructor as we waltzed across the ballroom floor.
There was Roger standing there in his quidditch clothes simply smirking. To be honest he was tall this summer and had grown into his looks.
I had always had a small little crush on Roger. He was a year older than me with wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. And most importantly, he played quidditch.
"Roger what are you doing here?" I asked as I accepted the change in dance partner. I mean what else could I do? A respectable lady wouldn't decline.
"Why of course I just came to find you Kates, why else would I be here?" he said sarcastically with a grin. What was he trying to do, flirt with me?
"You have changed a lot this summer, you know."
"Really, Do tell how I've changed Roger? And don't call me Kates" I smiled playing with him.
Just as he dipped me he smirked and said "You're beautiful".
What did he just say to me?! Did Roger Davies just call me beautiful?
I was at a loss for words and he knew it. The dance ended and he grabbed my hand.
"Come on, Kates, Jack is sick and we need another chaser for quidditch. Unless you would rather stay here waltzing the afternoon away with your dear teacher, hmm?"
"Get me out of here. Let's go." I said smiling at Davies.
"Rog, why did you get Kates to play, I thought we were having a guys game." Jared asked a hint of whining in his voice.
"Well she can play quidditch and we needed an extra person to make the teams even." he just said with that signature smirk upon his face.
I grabbed by broom from the shed and flew up to where my brother was hovering.
"Afraid I'm gonna beat you, Jared? You wouldn't want to get beat ,by your little sister in front of your friends now, would you?"
"Oh your on Kates! You and me captains. I'll even let you pick first."
"Alright I want Davies."
And just so you know I didn't pick him because he's cute and charming thats just a bonus, he's actually a really great chaser too.
We went back and forth until we both had a team of two chasers, one beater, and a keeper. We weren't playing with a snitch, nope this would be a match of how many points we could score before dark.
The teams were pretty well matched too. Jared might of had the advantage of being a chaser for the Tornadoes but we also had the keeper from his team who was used to blocking his shots.
Surprisingly Davies and I worked pretty well together as chasers, too bad I would be competing against him for the cup in the fall.
We barely won the match but we had won.
Just as the game ended, I was slammed in the ribs with a bludger. I couldn't help my slight cry of pain as I landed.
Roger immediatley ran over to me and helped me off my broom.
"Are you alright, Kates? Now is not the time for modesty, lift up your shirt and let me see the bruise."
"As if I would ever take my shirt off for you willingly Davies." I grimaced through the pain, I was starting to remember how irritating Davies could be.
"I can assure you, you'll want to someday, Bell" he said with a wink as he looked over my bruise. He tried to slightly lift my shirt higher up.
"Uh,Uh Davies thats as close as you'll ever get."
"Your lucky Kates, it just bruised." he then whispered a quick spell and then pain started to fade.
" I told you no to call me Kates, remember Rog?"
"Of course I remember, doesn't mean I have to listen. See you at Hogwarts, Darling Kates." he said as he kissed my cheek and walked away.
"What was that about?" Jared asked frowning slightly. He was always the overprotective brother.
"Don't worry Jared, it was nothing". At least I hope it was nothing. Gosh, why did Davies have to be so charming? And why is he so interested in me this year, he never has been before.
I just knew I had a lot to tell Ang and Alicia as soon as I saw them on the train. It was going to be an interesting year at Hogwarts, that's for sure.
