September 21st, 2017
Today was, well, an interesting day. According to Roxanne it was the day that I met my "Knight in Shinning Armor." She was such a girl; none of that dragon dung was real. This is what actually happened:
Teghan and I made our way down to the quidditch pitch. Today was our first quidditch lesson that we actually got to fly the broom. We were with Ravenclaw today .
"Do you suppose actually flying will be scary Rose?" Teghan asked as we walked past the entrance to the Great Hall.
"It's not bad. Although, it may be a bit scary for you. I got my first broom when I was 5 so I've been flying for a while. But really the worst thing that could happen is falling off and we won't be high enough in this first lesson for it to even count as falling off anyway." I rambled.
"Right" Teghan said.
"Pigtails Weasley?" came a voice from be hind us.
"Malfoy" I muttered angrily. Apparently the two of us were on speaking terms. Actually I think the four of us (Al, Malfoy, Teghan and I) were friends now. Well, with the exception of Malfoy and me… we were NOT friends.
"You look like your 4. Do you have any taste at all?" he said tugging at the hair on the left side of my head.
"No, her hair was red when she was 4 and it was a lot bushier too." Al said from the other side of Teghan.
"Ugh" I sighed. "Don't remind me! I looked Ridicules!"
Malfoy stifled a laugh. "Got any pictures Al?" he inquired chuckling. I punched him in the shoulder. "Ow, Merlin Weasley! I was only joking!"
"Uhm, Rose?" Teghan began out of nowhere. "How often do people fall off of their brooms?"
"Rarely," Al butted in. "Madam Bell his really good about teaching students to be balanced on their brooms before they go to high."
"Yeah, besides, it's not like we have this lesson with the Slytherins" I began sending a quick glance towards Malfoy. Just saying the name of the house always put a sour look on his face, I loved having that power. "It's them we'd have to worry about. The Ravenclaws are usually nice to Gryffindors." I explained.
"But you said the brooms were old. What if it breaks or something?" Teghan asked.
"The brooms aren't going to break. They inspect them every year. You're gonna be fine Teghan relax" Malfoy said.
"Yeah, thanks" Teghan said calming down a little. Was I the only one who noticed he was nice to EVERYONE except me?
The four of us made our way down to the quidditch pitch and went to stand with in the mob of first years.
"Okay class, today as I mentioned in our last lesson we will actually learn to fly so please go find a broom calling it up to your side then wait for instructions." Madam Bell said as she blew her whistle. As the mob began running to find a broom someone stepped on my foot and I tripped and fell to the ground. I looked up to see almost every student at a broom already. I picked myself up and made my way over to the only broom left giving Teghan, Al, and Malfoy (not that I expected him to save me a broom, he's probably the one that stepped on my foot) a dirty look. Teghan mouthed 'I'm sorry', Al shrugged and gave me an apologetic look, and of course Malfoy was just there snickering at me…git.
I made my way to the last broom in the row next to a skinny Ravenclaw boy with brown hair.
"Hi" he said. "I'm Kyne Belby. I'm in Ravenclaw"
"Yeah I could tell from the tie" I said pointing at his chest. He looked down and then gave me an embarrassed smile. "My name is Rose though. Rose Weasley" I smiled.
"Wait, Weasley? As in Ron and Hermione Weasley? Harry Potter's best friends?" Kyne asked excitedly.
"Yeah, they're my parents" I muttered. I hated when people only talked to me because my parents or Aunt and Uncles were famous.
"Oh, I'm sorry; I didn't mean to offend you. I just- I mean- I" Kyne stuttered.
"It's alright, I get that a lot. I should really just get use to it." I said. Kyne smiled apologetically at me. I smiled back.
"Okay class who would like to be the first in the air?" Madam Bell asked. Automatically four hands flew into the air. They happened to be Al, Kyne, Myself, and of course…Malfoy. "Ahh, well very good. You four come stand over here" The four of us walked over to where she was pointing. Al was on the end and next to him was Malfoy then, unfortunately, me then Kyne. "Okay now please show the class how to properly mount a broom" The four of us did as we were told. Madam Bell then commented on how well each of us did.
"Okay, now when I blow my whistle I want the four of you to kick off the ground and just hover for now." Madam Bell instructed.
The four of us gave each other excited glances. As Madam Bell blew the whistle the four of us kicked off.
"Very Good!" Madam Bell said as the rest of the class clapped for us. Suddenly my broom jerked forward. "Miss Weasley I did not tell you to move yet." Madam Bell scolded.
"I'm sorry Ma'am- WOAH!" My broom suddenly jerked backwards.
"Rose what are you doing?" Al asked.
My broom began rapidly moving back and forth. "I don't know I can't stop it!" I shouted. I let out a high pitched scream as my broom flew upward.
"Miss Weasley Hold on tight. DO NOT LET GO!" Madam Bell instructed As she took a broom from one of the first years standing on the ground. My broom began shaking violently as if it was trying to throw me off. I screamed again as I flipped upside down.
"ROSE!" I heard someone scream. My broom began ascending upward with me still upside down. It began to shake harder and spin in circles randomly changing directions at times. I screamed again.
"She's gonna fall!" Someone shouted. I wanted to scram at them telling them to not point out the obvious cause it wasn't going to help but it was then that I began to feel my hands slipping. I screamed again as my broom flew to the left. I faintly heard someone yelling but my hearing had gone and all I could hear was the blood pounding in my ears. That's when it happened. My hands slipped and the broom slid between my legs and I fell. I let out what I thought would be my last High pitched scream of my life when I felt myself hit two strong arms. I opened my eyes, which up until that point had been shut so tightly it hurt to open them.
"You okay?" said the person who caught me.
"Kyne?" I asked.
"Well you remember who I am so that's good." He laughed.
"Er, have you ever thought about going out for quidditch?" I asked dorkily as he sat me on the front end of his broom.
He laughed "Yeah, I want to be a chaser." He said. I nodded.
We landed on the ground safely and Madam Bell and the rest of the class came running over to us.
"Miss Weasley, are you okay?" Madam Bell asked. I nodded. She nodded skeptically. "Well I believe that that's all the fun we can afford today. Put your brooms in a pile by the entrance to the pitch." The class began walking away "Oh and 15 points to Ravenclaw for…Whatever that was by Mr. Belby." The Ravenclaws cheered. I turned to Kyne.
"Thank you" I said.
"You're not that heavy, it was an easy catch… I mean your welcome." He blushed and walked away.
"Git" I heard someone say from beside me. I turned to see Al and Malfoy standing next to me. It was Malfoy who had spoken.
"He just saved my life How is he a git?" I asked.
"He's probably the one who jinxed the broom so he could look like a quidditch star." He mumbled. I rolled my eyes.
"ROSE! Are you okay? I though you said no one falls off the broom the first day! Are you okay?" Teghan began spitting out questions.
Before I had time to answer any of them Madam Bell spoke. " Miss Weasley, I would greatly appreciate it if you could accompany me to the Hospital Wing so we can make sure your okay. Your friends may come too" I nodded and the 5 of us made our way up to the Hospital Wing.
It turns out I'm fine, thanks to Kyne. The incident has been kept surprisingly quiet for Hogwarts. Oh well I have a History of Magic report I should be working on right now.
