WC:775
It was the morning of the first Quidditch match of the year. Usually it was Gryffindor/Slytherin but for some reason Hufflepuff was replacing Slytherin. Marnie was at the breakfast table when she received a letter from her mum and stepdad.
Dear Marnie,
I'm glad you kept your promise. I really enjoyed your letter. I really hope that school is safe. You said you're a Ravenclaw. That's the smart house isn't it , that's what you told me. Kyle is back at school as well. Scott and Brett are in muggle school, I'm sure that's nothing compared to Hogwarts though.
Love,
Mum
Marnie smiled. She'll write her back after the match. She finished her breakfast and started walking out towards the Quidditch Pitch. She sat down next to her sister on the Hufflepuff stands.
All three Jacobs sisters have two things in common their affinity for potions to some extent and their love for Quidditch to some extent as well.
"I can't wait until I can try out next year," Marley exclaimed.
Marnie smiled at her little sister. The match started and Marley got lost in the game while Marnie was engrossed in the commentary.
After about twenty minutes into the match hooded figures swooped into the Pitch. Harry fell off his broom again. Poor guy. The students filed out of the Pitch and started to make their way back to the castle.
"Hey Marnie."
She turned to see Lee smiling at her.
"Did you enjoy the match?" He asked.
"I did, I hope Harry will be okay."
Lee said. "I'm sure he will. You want to hang out?"
"I'd like that." she smiled.
They walked towards the Great Lake. They sat down on the banks of the lake.
"So, what got you into Quidditch?"
Marnie smirked. "Just because I'm a bookworm doesn't mean I can't be into Quidditch, Jordan."
"That's not what I meant, Jacobs," He smirked back.
"My dad was the seeker on the Kenmare Kestrels briefly before I was born in 1978."
Lee nodded. "So, I'm older than you."
"Join the club, I'm one of the youngest in our year. Some people underestimate me because of that."
"Like I just did."
Marnie shrugged. "What got you into Quidditch?"
"I can't really remember, honestly."
Marnie nodded. The conversation continued until dusk.
"I think we should go back in, Lee."
He nodded raising an eyebrow in teasing. "Afraid of the dark, Jacobs?"
"Not at all, I'm starving though. It's almost time for dinner," Marnie said, getting up.
Lee jumped up. "Let me escort you."
"If you insist."
The two of them started walking towards the castle. They walked towards the Great Hall and walked towards their separate tables.
"So, you were with Lee this whole time." Atticus smirked.
"Yes, I was."
Before anyone could respond the food appeared on the plates in front of them. After dinner, they went back to Ravenclaw Tower.
"So, you really talked to Lee for almost six hours. He can't be that interesting." Jaq said as they crawled into bed.
"You'd be surprised."
The brunette shrugged as she turned off the lights. Marnie realized that she forgot to write back her mum.
It was a week later, Marnie was writing her mum back.
Dear Mum,
School was safe until our third year when a certain drama attracting student started. That Halloween a troll broke in, last Halloween a chamber was open and this Halloween someone broke into school. I am a Ravenclaw, it is known to be the smart house. Though, there's many more characteristics of the house. I'll tell you about at Christmas. I usually come home for Christmas since my dad's birthday is the 27th. Though, I'm sure you know that. Kyle is back at Beauxbatons. Tell me more about Scott and Brett's school.
Love,
Marnie
She finished the letter, checked it for errors and got up. She left the common room and walked through the corridors to the Entrance Hall.
"Hey Marnie."
She turned and smiled. "Hey Lee."
"I just wanted to say I really enjoyed talking to you last week," He smiled back.
"I did as well. I would like to do that again."
"Me too. I'm thinking maybe after Astronomy on Tuesday."
Marnie said. "You realise that's after midnight?"
He raised an eyebrow. "Scared, Jacobs?"
"Actually, a bit."
"Well, until you're not a chicken anymore. We'll meet by the Great Lake again."
"Not all of us, can be fearless Gryffindors, Jordan."
Lee just smirked at her before they parted ways. Marnie made her way to the Owlery. She walked to the nearest owl and attached it to his leg. She walked back to Ravenclaw Tower.
