Chapter 4 – What Had I Done?
"Ok team!" I shout pacing back and fore, on the Quidditch pitch. There are the seven girls standing in front of me, nervously. "We are to face France, USA and Bulgaria next term – that is after Christmas for you who don't know that" I added looking at a few of the members.
"Ok so we need to start anew, get bonded between us all, know each other's weaknesses and strengths, and we need to know how we all play... So are you with me?" I ask and the girls cheered happily, except a ditsy girl called Lucy who put her hand up.
"Yes Lucy?" I ask smiling; I was pleased my speech had got the girls motivated.
"Is that a "Thunder 5000" broomstick?" She asks... I just snorted, nodded and got on with training the girls; practicing their flying, throwing and catching etc...
Finally at 7:30 we trudge back to the school happy about finishing that practice.

My eyes drifted open to the sound of the ocean and quiet snoring. I realise the sound of the ocean is just peeves girlfriend; Mary –Louise, blowing in my ear. Silently I cursed her and she whizzed out of the room burping loudly – though not loud enough to wake my sleeping roommates. They were all sleeping peacefully with the sound of Ruby's snores filling the room. Ruby is probably the most air-headed person on the planet – how she got into Ravenclaw I don't know!
Quickly I started to dress, shoving on my robes and being quick and doing my hair in a bun. I place on my glasses – I only need for reading – and brushed my teeth hastily. Then I ran down the common room stairs, two steps at a time, to almost fall onto one of the arm chairs. I grabbed the book I had left on there last night and ran as fast as I could to the library. As I skidded from silent corridor to silent corridor, I bumped into someone, landing on my back with whoever it was on top of me.
"Ouch" I mutter, opening my eyes, to see a brown pair looking back at me.
"Oh sorry" the person said rolling off me, swiftly getting up and then pulling me up. "Rose, oh, I know you. You are Quidditch captain for the girls' team. I am new, my name is Tom, Tom Fino" He gushed. My god it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. He had the softest looking hair ever, beautiful brown eyes and a perfect complexion.
"Hi, umm... Tom, do you need a hand getting around here?" I ask nervously.
"Yeah, I um, I think I am early – I need to find the library" he spoke softly and melody-like, my heart fluttered nervously.
"Well, yeah you are early; I like to get up early, to get stuff done. I need to plan what we are going to do about the Quidditch world cup thing. Also I need to revise for my transfiguration" I babble aimlessly. "I will show you to the library" he nodded and walked with me, with his bag over his shoulder casually.
I put my shoulder bag over my shoulder and fixed my robes, I started to walk in the direction of the library.
"So your new, what year are you in?" I asked interestedly, he looked at me and smiled.
"I am in my fifth year, like you and I am in Gryffindor." I nod and look at my shoes.
Before long we were at the library.
"In here Tom, I am going in too" I walk in nervously and take my book up to the librarian, of which I am too nervous to ask her name.
I hear Tom walk in behind me; I walk away and sit down at my favourite table. I sat down and pull out my book- "Quidditch strategies and Positions"- and got to work taking notes and using my wand, moving minute players across a 50cm scale Quidditch pitch, I had summoned magically.
"Hey, do you mind if I watch you work- I am a very big Quidditch fan" said a voice, I look up to see Tom standing next to the chair opposite me.
"Sure" I mutter holding a quill between my teeth and my wand between my fingers- concentrating. I sat like that for a while, with Tom watching me the Quidditch pitch with the minute versions of my team zooming around.
A loud ringing and clanging bell was heard motioning to the fact breakfast was ready. Pushing my black round reading glasses further up my nose, as they had slid down- I got up, vanished the pitch and started to collect my books. Tom started to help me but I ushered him away, absolutely hating people touching my books, but inside I felt amazing.

"That was a great practice" said Lily laughing.
"Everyone played really well" I reply. She was obviously revelling in being chosen for the Quidditch team, but I still feel like she hates me for becoming captain.
"Rose, you are a great captain" Ellie put in.
"Thanks" I reply, pushing open the wooden oak doors of the great hall.
"Whoa" we all say at the same time.
Flying across the room is pieces of food, splattering like there is no tomorrow. Little first years using their hands, 5th and 6th years were using spells, to throw food across the hall. A food fight!
I see the girls duck under some tables and disappear into the group of people; I on the other hand have a pretty good idea who's in the middle of this- Scorpious.
Scorpious and my brother hate each other, more than Lily and Scorpious and it is just like them to make a food fight in the first term of the year.
Hurrying, I rushed past everyone, pieces of food missing me by a centimetre. I ducked under tables, getting a piece of chicken attached to my arm; I pulled it off, and used a spell to quickly clean the whole table I was under. I heard a few cries of complaint, but I carried on, cleaning table after table, making my way to the Slytherins tables and to Scorpious.
"Scorp'" I called, he turned around and ducked down under the table I was under.
"Hi" he replied, before grinning and using magic, to pour a whole jugs of pumpkin juice down a 4th years top. He laughed fully before turning to me.
"So, what do you need?" he asked smiling.
"What did you and Hugo argue about this time?"
"He wound me up, so I insulted his family, and then he threw the food." He replied swiftly, before jumping up and attacking a bunch of first year Gryffindors. I rolled my eyes, crawled across the ground to Lily.
Thump! A little kid went sprawling on the floor his hair covered in bits of food. He got up quickly and then threw a punch at another kid. Quickly I rushed over, sending them both into bubbles of magical concealment.
I rushed forward to Lily; she was running towards me, also I spotted Ellie, she rushed over to us as well.
"What the hell was you're brother playing at?" Lily screamed at Ellie.
"I think the better question is why is your cousin playing at?" Ellie shouted back, glaring at Lily.
"Well, Scorpius shouldn't have started that food fight!" lily argued back.
"Well, Hugo shouldn't go around insulting people's family just because he believes he's so special!"
"Well, Scorpius shouldn't pick on a kid!"
"Hugo isn't a kid and that shouldn't excuse him for insulting Scorpius!"
"What do you want me to say? Yes Scorpius was entirely right in started a food fight? I'm sticking by my cousin." Lily finished, I stared at both of them in horror.
"Well, I'm sticking by my brother." Ellie said, arms crossed. "We better just leave it at that."
"Fine." Lily replied.
I then saw Scorpius crossing the Hall ducking from a plate of food that was being thrown over him.
"Hey, Scorpius! You're an idiot do you know that!" Lily yelled at him.
"Not as much of an idiot as you're cousin!" He yelled back, heading our way.
"Yeah that's it Scorpius, shift the blame onto someone else as per usual!"
"Leave my brother alone!" Ellie snapped.
"Tell him to leave my cousin alone. Starting a fight with a kid two years younger than him, the coward!" Lily was shaking in anger.
"I'm not a kid!" Hugo yelled from behind Lily.
Tears felt their way down my cheeks.
"Come on Rose, we're leaving," Lily said turning to leave. How can she just boss me around? No way do I believe her!
"I believe Scorpius." I say quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"He is telling the truth." I say strongly, no she can't boss me around.
"How do you know that?" she asked.
"Because my brother provoked him," I say "I know he did. It's exactly the type of thing Hugo would do."
"So you believe a Malfoy over your own brother?" Lily asked like she was able to murder me.
"If that means doing what's right then yes." I reply. "Scorpius is right Lily. Why won't you admit that?"
"So it's true then." Said Lily.
"What's true?" I ask; what is she on about?
"That you're going out with Scorpius Malfoy."
"What?" I felt my mouth drop as the word left my mouth.
"Don't lie to me Rose; it's been going all around the school! And you lied straight to my face…" I felt like laughing, me and him? No way!
"I'm not lying!"
"Right, sure. I believe you Rose, just as much as I believe him." She glared at me, I felt tears coming, faster than before, and I watched her run away. Letting out a breath I look around at the crowd, around the just happened scene, and the food fight still going on.
Silently I used magic to make all the food disappear, all the tables, walls and floor clean, before ordering everyone into a line.
"Right", I said, taking note on which house each student who was involved in the food fight was in, and the prefects joined me, though I think they wouldn't have done anything, even though I am not a prefect, I deducted five points for each student and twenty for both Scorpius and Hugo. Finally I ran up to my room crying openly.

"Rose?" Came a voice, I turned around to see Tom III looking at me; I was walking down to the kitchen when I heard him.
"Rose I need to tell you something. Please don't interrupt, listen, Tom Fino has been drinking the Polyjuice potion to make him look like me, he fancies you and wanted to get to know you, so please, he is the one who loves you not me... He is going to be waiting for you in the Charms classroom at 12 o'clock tonight." Then the next thing I knew Tom was gone!
What? Tom Fino, the most gorgeous guy on the planet fancies me? Oh yeah like that is going to happen, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to meet him!

I walked into the charms classroom, in my baggy joggers and t-shirt, hair scraped back and my glasses on, so I didn't look my best, but since when have I ever looked good? I saw Tom look at me, and then his face fell, like he had been slapped in the face. He looked me up and down, he grimaced, ok since when did he care how I looked, he then swore at me, loudly.
"Hi" I say awkwardly. He stood there with a glassy eyed look about him; he then shook his head violently.
"Sorry" he said before walking out. WTF just happened?
Slowly, I sit down on the floor feeling like I had just been run over by a bus. The knight Bus, and tears felt their way down my face. WHAT HAD I DONE?
