Chapter 15

Before I knew it a week had gone by and we were at the quidditch try outs. Dabi insisted she was going to re-tryout as well as Proogs and Sirius. Moony, Lolly and Wormtail told me they were no good and would rather watch. Dabi however dragged me with her insisting that Lolly would never try out so she wanted someone else with her instead.

At breakfast I was eating less than the small amount I normally do.

"But what if I fall off in front of everyone?" I plead.

"I won't let you get hurt." Dabi promised which for some reason seemed to reassure me slightly.

"Be a man." Proogs gave me a playful nudge putting his arm around me making me giggle.

Moony them coughed and said "We are going to be late for Divination." And we all stop joking around and made our way.

"Ok you lot, you know my rules, I want a very fine game, only the best will make the team." And madam Hootch blew the whistle for try outs to begin, I made my way to the back of the line, Moony gave me a hug and squeezed my hand.

"Your going to be great." He smiled a heart-warming smile and Lolly said

"Your so brave." Looking at the floor and I gave her a hug.

"Maybe next year?" I smile reassuringly.

"Ok!" the whistle was blown a second time.

I will get Shaun here to throw the bludger to you and you must hit it away from the opposing player, then the two of you will switch positions, see if we have any beaters here, NOW PAIR UP!" Madam Hootch demanded. Dabi was with Padfoot, Proogs was with Lily Evans, A girl from 3rd year went with me and there were two other pairs of 7th year boys I didn't recognise.

Moony, Lolly and Wormtail shouted from the stalls to us for encouragement as te first pair begun. First up, Dabi and Padfoot who did pretty well but I would say Padfoot was better suited for a chaser than a beater. Next up Proogs and Lily who had been told to partake by... the slytherin boy she was friends with. Proogs was good at catching but not hitting and Lily was clearly nervous and at one point almost fell off of her broom. The 2 pairs of 7th year boys went next who were quite good, one boy in particular, I think his name was Jonathan. Finally me and the 3rd year girl, Evangeline.

"Ok, Evangeline and your Loretta, right?" Shaun asked, he is obviously captain of the team.

"Yes." I reply and I smile at him hoping that he won't be too harsh on me. The last time I got on a broom was at Beaxbattons in 3rd year when we used to have flying lessons. I could fly very well but we never played quidditch.

"Why don't you hit first." I tell Evangeline.

"Sure." I give Moony a nervous look from the stands and he mouth what he told me earlier "You will be great."

Shaun releases the bludger and we get on our brooms I zoom across the side of the pitch and Evangeline hits it and I catch it automatically. "Go Caty! Woawoh! Go Caty!" I hear Lolly chant and flash her a quick smile to show my appreciation.

I swap place with Evangeline and the bludger is released she zooms to stand by the hoops where I previously stopped her scoring a point and waits for me but I do the unexpected by hit the bludger sideways and flying towards it before hitting it into an opposing hoop. "Ok ladies, very good, the names will be on the Gryffindor board tomorrow morning."
