CHAPTER 5

The Quidditch Captain, John Timothy, was annoyed to say the least. Every Gryffindor that had tried out was following him, trying to find out if they had gotten the spot. Eventually, he reached the common room bulletin board and turned around.

"Alright! Everyone calm down!" yelled John, "If you're on the list meet me on the pitch at noon, if not leave me alone because I'm not going to change my mind."

As soon as John left everyone ran to the board at once. After the crowd had died down some I stood up and went to read the list.

'Oh bloody hell please let me get the spot' was all I could think as I went to the board.

"I made the team!" I screamed at James and Scorpius later that day.

"Congrats!" said Scorpius.

"Nice work little Lil!" said James.

"Thanks."


Later that night I found myself miserable. I was hiding in the Owlery after fighting with dad, when someone came in. Thankfully it was only Scorpius, and he didn't notice me there.

"Hey Tallie, can you fly a letter for me?" he asked the grey bird, "Well thanks. Here, this goes to mum. Try and find her for me."

The bird flew away and I swear I saw a tear in his eye. What confused me was that he always said his mum was dead... why would he send her a letter? When he turned around he saw me.

"Lily," he said wiping away the tear, "What's wrong?"

"I should probably ask the same thing. Scorp, you said your mum was dead. What's going on?"

"Nothing. I don't know if she is dead. For all I know she could be, but..."

"But?"

"You've been crying. What's the matter?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does." I know that what I said next sounded rude, but at that moment, I felt it was true.

"No one else gives a crap, so I don't expect you to," I stood to leave when my owl (Willow) flew in with a letter.

"Well believe it or not I actually do care. This yours?" asked Scorpius.

"Yeah. I reckon the letter's from Teddy."

"Who?"

"My godbrother Ted. I get to call him Teddy because he calls me Water Lily."

"Oh right I forgot. I'm guessing you two are close."

"Yeah."

Dear Lily,

Sorry about you and Harry, but we all fight at some point. I'm headed your way in the morning. Meet me here after dinner tomorrow. Send me a letter ASAP if you are busy. Also, I've got something important to tell you while I'm there. Congrats on making the Quiddich team!

Love, Teddy

"I'm gonna go. Night."

As I left I heard him whisper, "Night."
