Right quick announcement...again. I have nearly come to the end of the Goblet of Fire. I know, I'm upset on that but...I will be continuing on this with The Order of the Phoenix. So I'm happy that all of you that have reviewed/favourited/followed have taken the time to read this!

19. The Quidditch Try-outs.

After Fred and I had found our star sign to write about, we got straight to it of writing the essay. With Fred moaning about wanting to take loads of breaks and stopping early so he could test new inventions and pranks with George and me giving orders and commanding my very laid-back but moany boyfriend into finishing it.

It wasn't as though I wanted to be doing this essay either. I wanted to finish it quickly so that we could give it in and spend the rest of our free time together and getting on with our social lives. Thankfully, we completed it within two days and had given it into our professor, who gave a shocked expression to Fred as he never really completed any homework that was set.

Saturday came around quickly and it was today that Angelina was more than happy to let me try-out for a position on the Quidditch team. Making my way to the school stadium, I went into the changing room and put on my new gear, feeling comfortable to be wearing something that linked to the one sport that I loved most in the world. I grabbed my broom stick and as I was tying up my hair, I heard the door open. I looked out of the corner of my eye and smiled when I saw that it was Fred, George, Ginny and Krista. I finished tying my hair and Krista and Ginny ran to me, both giving me a big bear hug at the same time. "Good luck!" Ginny exclaimed.

I chuckled and Krista pulled back. "Good luck. But I know you can do it. We will all be watching you in the stands, cheering you on." I smiled at Krista's comment and felt Ginny let go.

George came up to me next and wrapped his long arms around me, lifting me up and twirling me around. "Good luck my amazing friend! Show Angelina what your made of, we want your actions to speak louder than words."

I laughed and then replied, "I will but I have to be alive to prove myself! You're squeezing me!" George made an 'oops' sound and put me on the ground, smirking as the girls chuckled at me breathing in air.

"C'mon guys, let the couple have a moment." Krista said and pushed the two gingers out, quickly sending me a wink as they left and the door shut softly behind them, leaving me and Fred alone.

Fred walked towards me and stopped as he stood close to me. He took my gloved hands and whispered, "Good luck love. I know you can do this." I smiled and him and leaned up, planting a kiss on his lips and then hugging him around his neck, feeling his arms wrap around my waist and holding me firmly, as though he didn't want to let go.

"Thank you." I replied.

We detached after a few moments and Fred grabbed my broom, bent down on one knee and held it up to me as he bowed his head. "Your transport mi 'lady."

I chuckled at him roleplaying but carried it on, "Why thank you kind sir." I took it from him and held out my hand, "You may kiss the hand." I looked down at Fred who gently took my hand kissed it, to then look at me and stand up and place his lips on mine.

We stayed like that for a few moments until we broke away as we heard someone talking, "Hey Scy you...oops, heh, sorry." We looked at who it was and saw it was Angelina also in her Quidditch gear.

I chuckled and answered her unasked question, "Yeah I'm ready." Fred squeezed my hand before walking out the room and Angelina and I headed onto the pitch. We both mounted our broomsticks and took off, Angelina in the middle of the pitch and me by the three rings. I looked at the stand to not only see Fred, George, Ginny and Krista. But also Hermione, Harry, Ron, Seamus, Neville and Cedric. I laughed as they started to cheer me on.

"Right!" Angelina shouted so I could hear, the supporters died down so I could hear her a bit better, "We're going to start with Keeper! Since you know all of the positions, I will throw this quaffle at you ten times, see how many you can save!" I nodded to show her I understood and then flew to the middle to get ready. Angelina held the ball then threw it. She threw it nine more times then finished testing me with it.

Saved. Miss. Saved. Saved. Miss. Saved. Saved. Miss. Saved. Saved.

Angelina caught the ball and looked into the crowd. "I need someone else for this test!" Ginny bounced up and ran of the stands. Couple of minutes later she appeared on the ground. Angelina dropped the quaffle and Ginny caught it. "This time I want you to be a chaser. Try and get the other into the other rings!" Angelina pointed to the other side. "I'll be trying to stop you. Ten tries again!" She said. I nodded and then we flew to the middle and hovered in the air on either side of Ginny. "Ready?" Ginny asked. We both nodded and then Ginny threw the ball up. I zoomed and grabbed the ball. I started to fly toward the rings and glanced behind me, to see Angelina on my tail. I start to spin around and then dive to the ground, pulling up before hitting it and watching as Angelina couldn't do the same. I was near the rings and then chucked the ball, watching as it entered the middle ring with ease. We tried again nine more times and then we finished.

Scored. Scored. Saved. Scored. Scored. Scored. Saved. Scored. Saved. Saved.

Ginny put the quaffle away and then walked off, to then reappear back on the stands. "Right! Next it to beat the bulgers away! We'll stick with one but try and hit it ten times!" I nodded but felt less confident. The bloody things were so sneaky that they weren't my strong point. I grabbed a bat and hovered near the rings again, watching as Angelina flew down and let one free. It zoomed out and then started to fly around.

I looked round then saw it, letting the trail finally begin. After ten tried Angelina flew back up and grabbed it, managing to keep hold as she flew back to the trunk and put it back in its restraints. The results this time weren't that good as the bulger hit me six times and I only hit it four times. I managed however to stay on my broom but I could feel the bruises on my skin.

The last position I had to try was seeker. Angelina stayed on the ground as I was only doing this once. Angelina let the snitch go and I changed position on my broom. From sitting on it and my legs dangling on either side to kneeling it and on hand holding the broom tight, I stayed still as I kept an eye out for it.

After a couple of minutes I saw it and zoomed towards it, I followed the snitch as it flew past the rings and started to zoom towards the ground. I held my free hand out and I grabbed it and held it to my chest, jumping off my broom as it crashed to the floor. I tumbled and landed in a heap, untucking my head from my chest, I stayed lying there on the ground and I stretched my limbs out and opened my hand...

...to reveal a still snitch with its wings flapping gently. I breathed deeply as everyone ran towards me. They stayed silent as I breathed out and then spoke, "I...can really do with a drink right now." They laughed and George, Fred and Cedric help me. I stood on my feet for a few moments before stumbling and being caught by Krista. "You were amazing! See the nurse and you'll find out about the position in the next couple of days." Angelina said, taking the snitch and putting it away. I nodded and then helped by Krista, made my way to the nurse.

Three days past since the try-out and the fourth morning I stumbled down the stairs of the Gryffindor common room, dressed in my uniform and yawning. I saw Fred and he ran towards me, "Love! The quidditch team list is on the board!" I immediately woke up fully to that and let Fred drag me to the notice board and look at the sign.

Keeper:

Angelina Johnson (Captain)

Chasers:

Katie Bell Alicia Spinnet Scylla Avalon

Beaters:

Fred Weasley George Weasley

Seeker:

Harry Potter

I smiled at the sign and felt Fred hug me and twirled me round, kissing me hard on the lips at the same time. We broke away and I hugged Fred, "I made the team!" I shouted in joy. Fred laughed and we walked out of the common room, quickly making our way to the Hall to tell our friends of the latest news.
