THE PAST FEW WEEKS HAD BEEN HELL FOR THE STUDENTS OF HOGWARTS.
After the slime prank that Potter had pulled, Sherry had hung his underwear over the Great Hall one morning with the help of Louis, Oliver and Marlene McKinnon, a Gryffindor girl who had complimented the American on her new adjustments to her uniform as soon as she got cleaned up. The two girls managed to become actually really good friends when they got talking so when Sherry not-so-subtly asked for the password to the Gryffindor Common Room, Marlene was more than happy to give it to her after finding out what her intentions were.
She served detention with Flitwick for that one but she didn't really care as long as everyone continued to make fun of Potter for his golden snitch underwear and the ones with his name sewed onto them.
He was not a fan.
In retaliation, he made her cauldron explode in Potions by slipping something inside it, but when it was timed to go off, Sherry had walked over to Louis Simmons and it exploded without any consequences which had James grumbling under his breath for the rest of the day.
Knowing that he had tried to prank her, she just did a simple one in return and waved her wand in the middle of Transfiguration that made his chair slide out from underneath him when he went to sit down after writing an answer on the chalkboard. The whole class had laughed, but then gasped as a plank of the ceiling came down on him, eliciting a groan.
In truth, she didn't charm the plank of wood to come down on him, however she did find it completely hilarious and bought herself another detention, but this time with McGonagall who made her write lines. 'I must not hurt others for my own satisfaction.' She was thinking of hanging the pieces of parchment over her bed for just a daily reminder.
It was Potter's turn to prank her back and given the history of his skills with the marauders, the students of Hogwarts were wary of walking into any crossfire. They would steer away from Sherry every time she came down the corridor and opt to sit as far away from her as they could during meals and stuff.
But the girl didn't seem that bothered, she was more excited for the Ravenclaw Quidditch Tryouts than the next prank that Potter was going to pull. It turns out that Louis was actually captain of the team this year and had set up a tryouts almost immediately after he had gotten the news. The sign-up sheet had been on the noticeboard in their common room for about a week and Sherry, Amber and Oliver were the first ones to put their names down, followed by a lot of the older years but some lower years too.
"First years, please go away." Is the first thing Louis said the morning of the tryouts.
The lot of them were stood in the wide Quidditch Pitch which was the first thing Sherry noticed when she first set foot on Hogwarts grounds. There were three goals on each side as normal and the stands surrounded pitch. It looked so refreshing to play in, probably the best thing about this school. Ilvermorny had a pitch, but it was nowhere near as big or impressive as this one.
