Chapter 9: Quidditch
Draco and I were getting along now without the awkwardness of the relationship. We headed up to the common room. A guy ran through the portrait hole and said,
"Delivery for Jay Potter!"
I walked over to him and he kneeled like a knight.
"Don't you think you're over playing this just a bit?" I asked.
"Well that's up to you. Now that you're, single anything is possible."
"Like the possibility me of rejecting you?" I smirked as I walked away. The common room lit up with laughter.
The nerdy guy walked over to his friends.
"And that's how you get a pretty girl to talk to you."
I sighed. Some people were really desperate. I walked over to my spot on the couch while everyone crowded around to see what I had got. I read the tag. 'To our favourite niece, hope this helps! From, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon.' I instantly knew what it was but I kept my mouth shut and unwrapped the present. Gasps went around the whole room. It was a Nimbus 2000.
"I'm going to have to confiscate that. First years aren't allowed a broom." Said Jake, the prefect.
Obviously, he wasn't caught up by Professor Snape or heard about it from everyone that Draco and I were the first First years on the team in a century. Jake walked out of the portrait hole and walked to Snape's office. Draco and I ran out shouting after him.
"Dude, you gotta believe us! Snape with just tell you the same thing!"
Jake kept on walking. He reached Snape's class and Draco and I sprinted down hallway.
"Professor Snape, I found a first year with a broom and I confi-"
"But Sir," I protested.
"Hush Jay."
Jake looked over at me and glared.
"As I was saying, I confiscated it and brought it here."
"I see, give it here." Snape held out his hand.
"Here you go Jay, you're going to need it at practice this afternoon." He handed me the broom as Jake opened his mouth in protest.
"But Sir, they broke sch-"
"Jake, I thought you would have heard by now but I guess not. Draco and Jay are on the Quidditch team."
"But Sir"
"No more buts. You should be congratulating them on their achievement."
"Ok." Jake mumbled.
Draco and I walked back to the common room with the Nimbus. I glanced at the clock. It read 3:55.
"We better get going Draco."
"Yeah, one second let me grab my broom."
He dashed up the stairs into his room and grabbed his broom and walked down next to me.
"Now you ready?" I asked.
"Now I'm ready." He answered.
We walked outside and met Marcus Flint on the field.
"So, I hear from McGonagall that you both know how to ride pretty well. Know you both need to know the how the game it played."
Draco and I groaned.
"Marcus, we're first years not idiots." I complained.
"Ok, well then see you at practice tomorrow."
"Wait first I want to test out the nimbus against the snitch."
"Alright." He released the snitch and out zoomed a little golden ball with wings."
I mounted my broom and kicked off. Draco flew up next to him along with Flint.
"I see it." I said as I rocketed towards the snitch. I reached out my hand and landed.
"Got it" I smirked.
"See you around." Flint said as we walked back into the castle.
"Well that was fun."
I heard the bell chime and looked at the time.
"Draco, it's five 'o clock! We're about to be late to dinner!" I said as I ran inside.
He caught up to me and we entered the Great Hall. I set my broom down beside the bench.
"Well we made the Quidditch team! First in a Century. My dad was the Gryffindor seeker so I know I won't screw up. Prepare to win the cup guys!"
The Slytherin table cheered while the other tables looked at us.
Once dinner was over I picked up my broom and headed out of the Great Hall when i noticed Draco wasn't walking with me. I headed back to the Hall and heard Draco scream.
"My broom's been stolen!"
