Prophecy ~ Lams (COMPLETED)

Chapter 12: Glasses

Quidditch chapter, sorry, JK's are like the most annoying chapters in my and Mike Schubert's (If you know who he is then we are legally obligated to become siblings) opinions so I tried to make it interesting. also I don't really know how tryouts go so I made it up

NEW POV

----

MARIA POV

A few days had gone by since that disastrous Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and it was now Sunday. Finally time for Quidditch tryouts.

John had gotten better and was cleared to play by Madame Pomfrey.

Eliza returned to classes on Wednesday and Alex would not stop apologizing.

Everyone was getting ready for tryouts that morning. The Slytherin locker rooms were filled with hopeful students. I shrugged my Quidditch robes on my shoulders and grabbed my broom. I was ready for action. 

"Hey, Adams, what are we looking for this year?" I elbowed Slytherin's Quidditch captain.

"We are in need of a Chaser and a Seeker," John Adams returned.

"Oh yea, I forgot J.Q. was a 7th year. and what happened to Nina?"

"She left Hogwarts, her parents sent her to Beaxbatons instead."

"Damn. Hogwarts ain't that bad."

"Ok, everyone, thank you for coming to this year's tryouts. We are currently looking for a Chaser and a Seeker, so if you did not read the fine print, then you are free to go. Runner-ups will be back-ups. Now, you can all go warm up for 10 minutes. 

After warm ups, the chasers and keeper that were already on the team flew up to the pitch. One at a time, the auditionees flew up and ran a few drills with the team. Some people were good at working with the other chasers, including-I hate to say this-Thomas Jefferson, and others were complete trash. They only tried out because they had no eyes, or they were dared too.

Then it was time for the seekers. Alex was one of people trying out to be a seeker, the position I suggested to him because he was a tiny boi and super fast on his broom. I gave him a smile and a thumbs up as he flew up to start his tryout. Though this was the first time he had ever seen a Golden Snitch, he caught it a minute after it had been released. Then he did it again. And again. Even with his eyes closed.

"Bloody hell, Adams, you sure know how to spot future Quidditch stars."

"It's my secret power. Besides being a wizard, that is."

"Our new Seeker is Alexander Hamilton, and our new Chaser is Thomas Jefferson! thank you everyone for trying out, and hopefully you will come try out again next year." Alex and Jefferson perked up at the sound of their names, and the rest of the group sighed collectively with disappointment.

"Better luck never!" Jefferson hollered at the unfortunate students. I flipped him off behind my back. Save it for when it's really needed, Maria.

"Alex! so proud of you bro." I ran over to him and gave him a noogie.

"please never say the word 'bro' again."

"Got it bro," I laughed and patted his back. "You wanna watch the rest of the tryouts? I wanna see my little Pegs in action. she's a beast in the pitch, you better watch your back when we play against Gryffindor. And, John's trying out for Hufflepuff chaser. I've heard legends about how good he was at Ilvermorny."

"Sure. And John is literally good at everything. He begged Professor Washington to let him compete in the final duel on Monday, even after the whole Veronica Sawyer incident. Washington agreed!" He said as we began to walk to the stands. Gryffindor Quidditch tryouts were starting. I blew a kiss to Peggy and she winked back at me. Swoon.

"MARIA! Come on, I have no idea where I'm going."

I hurried after Alex, who stood impatiently waiting for me to show him how to get up into the stands.

"Stairs, Alex. What else would you look for, a fucking magic carpet?"

Alex rolled his eyes and I led him to the staircase. Once we were at the top, we could see the whole Quidditch pitch; we could even see Hogwarts. I felt so small, like a bug could squish me with one of their leg-feet things. Do bugs even have feet?

"Oh, Pegleg wanted me to tell you and John that Angelica's inviting us all to the second floor girl's lavatory tomorrow after school."

"She's inviting us to a girl's bathroom?"

"Yeah, no one ever uses it because of Moaning Myrtle. She's nosy and annoying, but mostly harmless. however, she does take a liking to every boy she crosses paths with. Fair warning."

Alex shuddered. "Fantastic."

"I have no idea what Angelica wants, we'll just have to wait and see."

there was a beat of silence.

"How long have you and Peggy been together?"

"Since last year. How long have you and John been together?"

"W-what?" he coughed.

"You spent the whole rest of the week with John; whether in the hospital wing or, when he was released, in between classes."

"One, He was in the hospital wing so I visited him, like a lot of people have, including you. Two, we have a couple of classes together so we just hang out after. I don't have to tell you anything at all. John and I are just friends (says Adrien to Marinette). I like Eliza." Alex looked to the field. "HI JOHN!" He waved, and John waved back, not watching where his broom was pointing. He crashed into one of the stands. I started laughing, and Alex ran to the railing. "Are you ok?" he hollered with his hands cupped to mouth. John gave him a quick thumbs up and a smile, then flipped me off, his face turning red. Ha. Ha.

"You see that? He likes you."

"Maria, he does not like me. He denied what Jefferson said in the hall, and I trust John."

"And what exactly did Thomas Jeffershit say in the hall?"

"That John was gay." 

I spit out my pretend water.

"Blimey, Jeffershit was actually right about something."

"John isn't... What? No..."

"Alex, can nothing get through that thick skull of yours? John. Is. As. Gay. As. Fuck," I said, clapping after each word for emphasis.

"Shh, I'm trying to watch the tryouts," Alex shushed me, and turned back to the pitch. John was doing a happy dance, so I assumed he was now a Hufflepuff Chaser.

"GO JOHN!" he yelled, pumping his fist in the air.

Oh, Alex. You need glasses.
