Chapter 13: Quidditch Tryouts part 2
After a long day of practice, the Slytherin team went to their common room. It was there, they witnessed a duel unlike any they've ever seen. The two silver haired siblings were engrossed in a muggle card game. A children's muggle card game.*
"I summon The Guardian of the Forest!" Aster said, placing a card facing up and vertically. It had the image of an amazon type warrior. The image then glowed and the woman came to "life" and swung her vine whip threateningly in front of Edo. He laughed and placed his own card face up.
"I summon Destiny Hero Diamond Dude!" He placed the card onto the table. A man with a diamond encrusted suit appeared. Edo then took another card from his pile. "You know his special ability, right? I draw the top card in my deck and if it's a spell card, it goes into my graveyard until my next turn." Aster frowned at this.
"What was it?" She asked. Edo flipped the card; it had a weird looking pot on it.
"I drew Pot of Greed, so it goes to my graveyard!" Aster chuckled.
"Didn't one of your opponents once call it, Pot of Weed?" Both laughed this time. The current score was Edo: 2000 and Aster: 1270. Nobody else in the room said a word. They just watched.
ONE EPIC DUEL LATER!
"You won, wow, only Jay's ever done that…" Edo said sweat-dropping. He smiled at his beaming sister. They turned and noticed the crowd around them.
"Yes?" Aster said, and they snapped out of their trance. Draco walked up to them and sat next to Edo.
"What was that?" He asked. Edo smiled and went on to explain the wonders of Duel Monsters. Draco actually listened and thought it was a good game, despite being created by muggles. He looked at both decks. Edo's consisted of hero type monsters, while Aster's was more of an elements type. (A/N no! I don't mean the E-Heroes!) He wondered why they liked the game so much, but decided not to ask. It would be like someone asking him why he liked Quidditch so much when they hardly understood the game. So, he just let them be. He got up and cleared his throat.
"So, Edo are you excited for tomorrow?" He asked. Edo, who had just finished tucking in his sister, walked out into the common room, and looked at the bleach blond boy.
"For what?" he asked. Draco smirked.
"I bet Potter and his friends will tell you, tomorrow's Hogsmead." Edo looked confused and sat next to Draco. "You need a signature to go, and he'll probably want to drag you there." Edo had a worried look in his eyes.
"Uh… Draco?" He said.
"Yeah?"
"My parents are dead…" Draco looked at Edo and decided not to question him.
"What if… I get my father to sign for you? Or how about-" he was interrupted by one Severus Snape.
"Boys, you're awake. You should be in bed…" Snape said looking at the boys.
"I was telling Edo about Hogsmead sir, but he can't have his permission signed. His parents are dead…" Snape looked at the silver haired boy, who was already drifting off to sleep. He smirked as his head fell onto Draco's shoulder, and stayed there, "so I was wondering if my father could sign for him and his sister." Snape looked the blond now. He sighed and nodded.
"If he doesn't have anyone else who can sign for him, then he can. But, I'm sure he has a guardian." With that the greasy haired man left. Draco sighed and looked at Edo, and then at the wide open door to his and Aster's room. In the doorway, was one Aster Phoenix, eyes watering and fear leaking into her eyes.
"Yamaro…" that one word was all it took to wake Edo. The boy walked over to his sister, muttering things in rapid Japanese. He turned to Draco.
"We have two people we trust to sign them, but… will we get in time?" Draco nodded.
"If we use the fastest owl, we can." And with that, they headed to the place where the owls were held. They sent the letters to the Takumas, hoping that they would get the message quickly…
