Silent Destiny

The Start of Fresh Air

The next morning you woke up full of energy. You had flying class this morning and were so excited to begin quidditch this year. Although, maybe a bit worried since Snape was now the new flying professor. You hoped he wouldn't favor Slytherin members this year. Quickly you put on your robes and grabbed your broom to head downstairs into the common room to find Harry, Nik, and Ron. Running down the stairs you see the three of them waiting for you on the couch. Nik stood up abruptly and pulled you into a big hug wrapping his arms around the base of your back. Eventually, you let go and you started bouncing your feet standing on your tiptoes. Your grin gets bigger every second waiting for them to mention your excitement. Nik starts smirking at you and has a wide grin as well.

Excited for quidditch now, are we?-Nik says with a smug look on his face.

"Maybeeee"-Y/N

"Yeahhh, I think you are"- Nik says laughing.

"Get ah room!"-Ron

"Oh stop that Ron, they are just excited, I am too," Harry says with a serious expression. But he looks at you calmly.

You smile at him thankful he saved you from the embarrassment of having to reply to Ron's comment.

"Thank you, Harry"-Y/N

"Alright anyways, me and Y/N are going to meet Xana at breakfast, see you in class"-Nik says pushing you along with him walking toward the door.

"See you guys" You shout quickly before you're out of view.

Harry's POV:

"Ooo, looks like someone has competition again," Ron says nudging Harry.

"Stop that!"-Harry

"I'm just kidding mate, relax, I know you don't like her that way."-Ron

Harry doesn't say anything and he watches Y/N walk away.

"Oh shoot, you do like her. She got a thing for Nik though, doesn't she? You ought to let her go before you get yourself in another Cho Chang situation"-Ron

"Cho lost her boyfriend and was grieving. Besides, I would never date someone who stays friends with a traitor. Her friend couldn't keep her mouth shut and Cho wasn't even supposed to tell her. Because of that, Dumbledore almost got put away in Azkaban.  Y/N is different, she's brave, kind, selfless, funny, smart, and she does what is right"-Harry 

"Blimey, well I hope you get her then. It seems like she means a lot to you."-Ron

"Yeah, thanks"-Harry

Your POV:

You are eating scrambled eggs with bacon and some pancakes. Xana and Luna are sitting across from you and Nik.

"Excited for quidditch with Snape Y/N?" -Luna

"Yeah are you excited to practice with his majesty, king of pettiness and sass"-Xana says snickering.

You felt your stomach tighten while inhaling the air. It's not that you hate Snape or anything. But you highly doubt that he will be lenient whatsoever. Probably will take away plenty of points if anyone did one wrong thing. Surprisingly, he has subbed for flying class before, so you are not too surprised if he was asked to teach it. What he says usually does make sense and his intimidation skills with neutrality definitely keeps you focused. He is pretty good on a broom as well. You wonder if he ever played quidditch at Hogwarts.

"I suppose so. He's honestly not so bad. Never really bothers me since I thought he didn't deal with people he doesn't like"-Y/N

"Well he likes you now, get used to it"-Xana
