Kerial woke with unhappily, today she would have to find her way around Hogwarts and she didn't even have her books yet. Then she remembered Malfoy who had promised to show her round and conviniently was in all her classes except herbology, which she was planning to quit if she got on the quiditch team. She slipped out of bed quietly so as not to wake Pansy Parkinson another 5th year Slytherin. She got into her robes and went down to the common room, Malfoy was waiting there for her,
"Ready for the Quiditch tryout?" he asked her.
"Yep," she replied, and then she asked, " Do you know what I'm going to do about my books she asked?"
Malfoy winked at her, "I'll tell you after tryouts."
On the way to the Quiditch pitch Malfoy began to tell her about Harry Potter and his friends while Kerial listened intently.
"So he's the seaker of Gryfindor, and watch out for him aparantly he's the best seaker in Hogwarts."
Kerial replied slyly
"Until Now!"
Malfoy was about to reply but they walked onto the quiditch pitch and the captain of the slytherin team came running over, he was well bult and had spikey brown hair.
"I'm Andrew Skylier," he said briefly handing her a broom, "let's see if your seeker material."
With that he took out the snitch and let it go. It disapeared in a second and Kerial kicked of with her broom.
She soared up and up, higher and higher until Malfoy and Andrew were specks on the ground. Then she dived at an amazing speed loving the thrill that came with it, she did a few loops and was pleased when she heard gasps from Malfoy and Andrew.
But as she was doing the third loop the snitch flew past her ear. In a split second she rolled out of the loop and went tearing after the snitch.
The broom flew like a rocket, then the snitch plunged and Kerial followed always stying on its tail.
Malfoy and Andrew watched in fasination as she followed it, never wavering from its path.
Then without waring the snitch flew backwards over Kerials head, but she didn't stop following it she flipped her broom upsiddown and barrel rolled over her broom to turn it right way up. Kerial decided to stop showing of and catch the snitch. With an extra burst of speed she drew level with the snitch. But it had one more trick up its sleve. It went down and skimmed along the grass. Both Andrew and Nalfoy watched in horror as Kerial took the broom down level with it, her feet skiming the grass at awsome speed. Reaching out she grabbed the snitch, to the cheers of Malfoy. And brought her broom to a halt.
Flying back she handed the snitch to Andrew. As he managed to gasp out
"Welcome to the team misses Dark."
"Miss Dark, Mr Malfoy please remember that you are to be back at Hogwarts no later than 4 oclock," reminded Professor McGonagall, "and remember to buy all the things on the book list."
Kerial couldn't believe it, Malfoy had talked Snape into letting them go to hogsmead for a few hours in the afternoon to get her books.
On the way out of great hall they bumped into Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione.
Malfoy sneered, "So potter I see your still here, and you Ron I'm surprised you could afored to come back."
"Shut it Malfoy." Repilied Ron iritabley, then " Who are you?"
"Kerial," she replied in a scornfull voice, "You must be a weasley, Malfoy told me all about you and your that stupid mud blood Hermione."
She and Malfoy sniggered.
"Watch it new girl!" said Hermione in an unusually threatening voice.
"Or what?" sneered Kerial.
"Hermione pulled out her wand, "I'll…."
"No Hermione," said Potter quickly, notting the dangerous look in Kerial's eye.
"We're of to Hogsmead, Have fun loosers." Laughed Malfoy and of they walked.
"I'll show you," Hermione whispered under her breath.
Hogsmead wasn't all that Big but they had some unusuall shops, simillar to that of Diagon Alley only more spread out. First they went to the bookshop to get the books on Kerials list
They were:
Mysterious Magic history (history of Magic)
Potent potions (potions)
Mixed spells for round the house (general magic)
Transfiguring your soul (transfiguration)
Tourtured spirit (defense against dark arts)
Magic creatured (care of magic creatures)
They found them easily enough in the first hour and then they went and got a couldren.
Walking past one shop window Malfoy stopped suddenly and gasped,
"Look it's the new racing broom, the Whirlwind4000 nothing they make can top it not even a firebolt."
Kerial looked it up and down before saying,
"It's not the broom it's the person on it, but this is a good broom all the same."
They entered the shop; it was full of Brooms and excesories.
"How much is the whirlwind4000?"Kerial inquired.
The keeper looked up in surprise, "Ahhhhh…you like the whirlwind hey? Best broom there is hasn't got a lot of special features but It's the fastest and the smoothest flyer around. They say there's no broom that can top this one."
"Hmmm…but how much." She asked again, getting impatiant this time.
"Young lady this broom is a collectors item and is not for sale at this point of time." He replied sharply.
"Fine!" she shrugged and left the shop quikly
Kerial walked out and went hurrying up the street, "stupid old Man!" she yelled angrily. People stopped to stare at her but she didn't notice and she continued to yell all the way up the street until she got to the three Broomsticks, which was an old homely pub. Pushing the door open she went inside. It was crowded with lots of whiches and wizards plus Trolls, Goblins and even a few ghosts. She went up to the barmaid and asked for a Sparkling rose scotch then took a seat in the corner. It was then that she noticed Malfoy wasn't with her.
"Oh NO!" she moaned but at that moment he came through the front doors grinning. "Sorry!" Kerial called out to him.
Malfoy came and sat down next to her with a sigh,
"Don't worry it was easy to find you everyone was telling me some girl just went tearing into the Three broomsticks like a mad woman." He laughed " I figured it must have been you."
"SSSOORRYY! I was just pissed off!" she apologised again.
"Look, we have some really goos Nimbus 2001's at school so you can just use one of them in the meantime!" Malfoy sujested.
"Yeah, I think I will! Thanks Malfoy."
