A/N: Sorry for the long wait, but I just wanted to write some more. I'll be doing a lot of editing today, and hopefully post more chapters. And I have to apologize again because this is a short one, but of course you should still review! Thanks for reading!

Chapter Six
Jeannette/Hailey's POV

I survived the week, and my detentions with Umbridge (The words didn't disappear). Over that time Harry and I had became friends over our mutual hatred for our torturer. I was nervous wreck by Saturday, despite both Tony's and Blaise's attempts to calm me down. Everyone had to tryout again so I was up against the old seeker, Cho Chang, and a couple other students.

"What's your problem?" Blaise asked that Saturday morning as we walked down to breakfast. He had been acting weird lately, he was much more protective. Thank goodness Tony wasn't the jealous type.

"Quidditch tryouts are today and I haven't practiced at all because of Umbridge! Merde, merde, merde!" I stomped my foot like a toddler and Blaise scoffed.

"You've gotta be shitting me." He stopped walking and turned to face me completely. He towered over my 5'4" frame so he bent down so he was at eye level. He grabbed my arms at my sides and looked directly into my eyes, "You are Jeanette fucking Blaire and you can fly circles around Cho Chang. You can play with the best of them, hell you even pushed me down more than once and I am amazing. You are going to be the Ravenclaw seeker."

I'm pretty sure my eyes were watering, "Did you seriously just compliment yourself in my pep-talk? And did you mean all that?"

He stood up straight and pulled me into a hug, "Of course." He said into my hair, "But if you tell anyone I'll have to kill you." I felt him smile.

"Of course," I replied to his chest, "We can't mess up your image, because that's what's important."

"Great you understand." He laughed and we went to breakfast. I noticed how he didn't look great, and leaned more heavily on me than usual.

"Blaise what happened to Daphne?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" I hated it when he played dumb.

"You look sick Blaise." I scolded him, "Didn't you and Daphne..." I didn't finish my sentence, he knew what I meant.

He shook his head, "I haven't had time."

I stopped walking and looked up into his eyes, "Make time Zabini, you can't just keep getting sicker. Instead of meeting me after tryouts go find her." I insisted and he nodded, he knew better than to try to argue with me.

Tryouts went well. We did a lap around the field just to see how we could fly. There were a couple of other people trying out for seeker. We had a competition to see who could get the snitch first. The first time I was nervous and Cho got it. I remembered Blaise's pep-talk and I got it no problem the next time. We would've done more, but Slytherin said they had the pitch.

Tony was waiting for me when I got off the pitch. He went to give me a hug but I stopped him, "I'm all muddy."

He gave me a look before hugged me anyway, "You did great! When is Davies posting the team roster?"

"Tomorrow, after dinner." I said nervously as we began the walk back to the castle. When we got to third floor we ran into Harry.

"Hey Hailey, hey Anthony." He greeted us, "How were tryouts?" He asked me.

"Okay." I replied.

Tony scoffed, "Please, she caught the snitch as many times as Cho, and she looked better doing it." I blushed as Tony wrapped his arm around me. He made it sound like I did something extraordinary.

"Impressive." Harry grinned. "You'll definitely get it."

After we parted ways with Harry we went to the common room. I went up to my dorm and showered and changed. Then Padma came into my room and filled me in on the gossip I don't pay attention to. She was getting annoyed that I never knew what she was taking about.

"And they totally hooked up." Padma finished another story. "Now what's going on between you and Anthony?"

I shrugged, "He said I'm pretty, but he hasn't asked me out or anything, we haven't even kissed."

Padma looked disappointed, I guess she wanted something juicer than that. "How about you and Harry? Witnesses have seen you two taking midnight strolls through the castle."

I snorted, "'Midnight strolls?' We both had detention with Umbridge all week."

"Oh," Padma frowned, "So no juicy gossip?" I shook my head, "What about Blaise?"

"He's still one of my best friends, and he's with Daphne Greengrass." I told her, and she sighed, so I gave her a line, "Do you have a special someone?"

She grinned, "Well I guess you could say Terry and I are a thing..."

I smiled back at her, "Seriously? Since when?"

"Yesterday he kissed me!" She squealed excitedly, something told me that she'd never had a legitimate boyfriend before, "Then he asked if I wanted to meet him tonight at the quidditch pitch, we're going to go stargazing!" From our one Astronomy lesson I knew that Padma loved the stars.

"That's great, Padma." I smiled at her, but my stomach was doing back flips. I was still nervous about the team roster.

"Actually I was wondering if you would help me get ready..." She asked shyly.

I grinned brightly, "Of course, we'll start after dinner."
