Chapter 6

There in front of them stood Professor Roadan.

"it's only raining, we've got about three minutes before curfew." Frida said quickly.

"I am not here for either of you." he looked directly at Annabella. "Just her."

"I didn't do anything." Annabella protested.

"no, and I suppose the intoxicated girl didn't get the fire whiskey from your trunk?"

Bella's jaw dropped. "she didn't."

"She did Miss Bolts which means drastic actions. Clearly detentions aren't taking enough of your time." she moved to protest but the professor wasn't done yet. " to prove yourself worthy, you must show me real commitment to the school, to your house, or you'll end up with neither." Bella scowled, she didn't want commitment she already had enough tying her down. "You have to join a group or a team." he smiled wickedly.

"you've got to be pulling my beard." she exclaimed.

Greta nudge her whispering. "Bolts you don't have a beard."

………………………………...

"we could knock him out and disapearate him to China." offered Frida.

"can't disapearate in Hogwarts." pointed out Myrtle.

"well we'll do it the muggle way and dig to China." Greta joked.

Annabella groaned.

"it'll be fine Bella." Myrtle smiled. Anna scowled.

"I am not talking to you Moan-a." she snapped.

"it's not my fault!" myrtle cried.

"oh yes it bloody is. Not only did you get me in to trouble you drank my stash for Halloween. Do you have any idea what it takes to smuggle that stuff in here?!"

"calm down Bell people are staring." Frida whispered.

Annabella scowled. "just because your afraid of us Ravenclaws."

"well technically I am not suppose to be here." she said in a hushed tone.

"oh like anyone cares, Janie has got that Griffindor boyfriend of hers in the corner and Roadan didn't even notice last night that your not a Ravenclaw face it your part of the family now." said Greta.

Frida sighed defeated.

Suddenly the door slammed open and in stormed the Ravenclaw star Nathan the best looking boy in their house. He was blonde with stunning blue eyes and a to cute baby face. He was then followed in by the rest of the team.

"you can't just quit!" Yelled Jacob Cohen the new captain.

"I won't be seen with such imbeciles!"

Girls around the room sighed including Myrtle. Annabella rolled her eyes before kicking Myrtle in the shins.

"Cohen forget him. His a bad sportsman and a worse player. In fact since he joined the team we haven't won a single match." hollered Icarus who was dripping in mud.

"Black shut up." Hissed Tristan.

"fine if Black thinks the team can do better with out me then I am out. I quit Cohen and I mean it this time." Nathan then proceeded to stormed up the stairs to his dorm.

Jacob turned around and whacked Icarus around the back of the head.

"what did you do that for?! Now what are we meant to do?"

Icarus shrugged wiping the mud off his cheek. "whatever you want captain just don't go begging that ponce to come back."

Jacob looked as if he was going to hit Icarus again but Tristan stepped in his way.

"so I guess trails would be a good plan?" offered the youngest chaser Elwood.

Greta raised her eyebrow and Annabella rolled her eyes.

"so what clubs are there? Or who would take me?" grumbled Bella.

"the chess club?" piped Myrtle and Annabella frowned.

"the muggle loves association." Frida grinned as Annabella's frown turned into a scowl.

"no I have a better one, People united against killing elves."

"I am not joining Puke." she growled as Greta laugh up to the point of tears. "then you better get moving chess club starts in an hour."

………………………………...

Chess club had been the most boring hour of Annabella's life and she had, had some really dull hours.

She let her feet take her and before she realised it she was on the fourth floor at their hideout room. She pushed open the door finding the others leaning over the new witch weekly. She sighed dropping into one of the tacky coloured bean bags.

"have fun?" asked Frida unusually cheekily, as Annabella scowled.

"poor Bella, maybe causing some trouble would lighten your mood?" Grinned Greta.

"what do you have in mind?"

"you know that the tryouts for the Ravenclaw team are on today and your good, good friend Icarus is helping."

Annabella grinned.

"do go on."

………………………………...

"this is all your fault Black!" yelled Jacob pointing his finger at the second year barely managing to stay up right on the broom.

"how was he suppose to know that all the Ravenclaws are hopeless." asked Elwood. Jacob glared.

"what are they up to?" Tristan interrupted. The boys turned to see none other then moaning Myrtle, Frida, Greta and Annabella Bolts.

"please don't tell me you're here to tryout." begged Cohen already at breaking point.

"don't be stupid Frida's a Hufflepuff." snapped Myrtle.

"we're just here to interfere." Grinned Greta. "up, up and away!" she laughed as they launched into the sky.

The four girls began weaving in and out of the hopefuls until Frida crashed into Myrtle and the pair of them hurtled to the earth with a thud.

"holy Merlin." Greta dropped down checking on them, groaning they untangled themselves both fine. The three girls on the ground looked up to see Annabella roaring with laughter.

Across the pitch Jacob death stared Black.

"get them out of here now!" Cohen snarled. Icarus kicked off the ground and Elwood and Tristan began walking toward the three on the ground.

Suddenly Myrtle noticed and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Run!"

The three on the ground ran around the field with Elwood speeding behind them. Tristan just shrugged and went back over to the captain watching the sky as he went.

"Anna!" Black yelled angrily, flying closer to her.

"Why can't you just call me Annabella or Bella?" she snapped.

"because Annabella isn't even spelt or said right and Bella doesn't suit you." he teased.

She glared. " it's both my grandmothers names put together, it's meant to be said and spelt that way you moron! And like you can talk, your named after the boy who tried to fly to the sun and died. With a name like that how in the world can you be in the air?" Black let out a growl and took off after her. She laughed swerving in and out of hopefuls with Icarus on her tail.

On the ground Cohen was cursing Black as Tristan approached.

"have you seen all this! How I am going to find a player! Stupid Icky."

"hey Cohen I think stupid Icky has solved that problem too."

"huh?"

The pair looked up watching as Black headed straight for Bolts. It was almost a collision but suddenly Annabella rolled upside down barely missing hitting him. Laughing she took off again and Cohen stared in wonder.

Annabella laughed again and suddenly a second year blocked her path she swerved violently narrowly missing the kid but consequences it left her wide open for Black.

Icarus jumped the half a meter knocking her off her broom, both falling the four meters or so the ground.

"you stupid git!" she yelled as he pinned her arms to the ground.

"somebody could have been seriously hurt and your calling me stupid." he growled struggling to hold her down.

"somebody was seriously hurt, me!" she yelled back at him. As the team ran up they were followed by the oversized third year. Hagrid bent down lifting Icarus off Annabella putting him upright on the ground.

"thanks Hagrid." Bella beamed dusting off her robes. Sighting Professor Roadan she ducked behind Hagrid and Icarus laughed.

"ssh!"she grabbed his arm pulling him to behind Hagrid. She covered over his mouth. "please Ick, he made me join the chess club already today I can't take anymore." she whispered pulling her hands away. He peaked around Hagrid watching Roadan.

"come on." he hissed grabbing her hand tugging her into a run with him to the change rooms. The team followed half hiding Anna. She moved to the back door.

"hey Bolts." she froze about to make a run for the castle. She turned to face Jacob Cohen. He was a muscular sixth year with dirty blond hair she had never paid a attention too until just now.

"want to be seeker?"

She gave him a filthy look. "as if." and she took off out the door.
