Another story of fate

Chapter 7

Nesta

After flying class, we were going back to the castle. Harry and I were about to  have a conversation with McGonagall, Ron and Hermione were going to the library to do their homework.

“What were you thinking about?  You could get hurt, or worse, die! You're lucky not to get expelled!” - Hermione scolded is all the way.  Her nostrils flared in a funny way as she exhaled. We were respectfully silent.
Dea caught up with us at the entrance to the building.  She looked around, afraid that someone would notice her.

"Nes, can we talk for a second?"  - the Slytherin shifted nervously under the interested glances of my friends.

"Of course" -I replied encouragingly.- "Harry wait for me at the stairs, please." 

The boy nodded, looking at us in bewilderment.  “Future inquiries cannot be avoided” -I thought.

When my friends left, the girl said:

"Your actions today were reckless but brave."

She looked me straight into the eyes.

I just waved my hand:

"It's no big deal, many people would have done the same."

“But they didn't. I wanted to thank for Neville. He is dear to me, and I would not want to lose him. I appreciate your actions.” -said Amaretto.

“I did what I think is right. He's my friend too" -I smiled, putting my hand on her shoulder.-  "By the way ... I also consider you my friend."

Dea blushed, lowering her eyes.  She did not understand how to call someone a friend on the very first day of meeting.

"I have to go. The Head won't wait. See you at dinner” -I said goodbye and hurried to Potter.

The second time I was able to move more quickly through the corridors of Hogwarts. We quickly reached the professor's office and knocked.

"Come in" -McGonagall's voice sounded in crystal from behind the carved oak door.

Harry and I entered. He looked with interest at the pictures on the walls and the ancient tomes that stood in huge wall-to-wall bookcases.

"Here are my violators ..." -she beamed with a smile.- "Well, let's go, I'll introduce you to your captain."

She stood up, gesturing to follow her. Harry looked up from contemplation of the antediluvian unpeeled goblet when I shoved him in the side and, taking his hand, pulled after the professor.  He did not understand the situation, so along the way I explained with gestures what was happening. Madame Trick did not enlighten him.
Through a series of corridors and stairs, we soon came to an office, from which a strange roar of an incomprehensible animal was heard. Harry and I looked at each other grimly.

“Wait here” -the Head threw at us and without knocking opened the door to the classroom, leaving the room in half a minute with Oliver Wood. I instantly remembered our acquaintance and winced slightly.

“Wood, I found you a seeker and a chaser” -McGonagall boasted, not hiding a proud smile. Harry and I both blushed slightly.

Oliver was puzzled:

“First years? Don't get me wrong professor, but isn't it too early for them?"

He followed us with a mocking look, stopping at me.

I rolled my eyes. Yes, we are young, but it doesn’t mean that we will not be able to play on a par with senior students. We'll get better.

“Don't fool with me, Mr. Wood! If I said that your team needs these two, then it's settled" -Minerva sternly besieged him.- "I will leave you now, discuss the training schedule".
