HIDDEN (D.M)

I would recommend playing this song ˆˆˆ when you see the *

I stood in the middle of the field gripping my broom as the thought of actually being here came into realization. More people in green and silver robes came walking into the field. My stomach turning into knots as most of them were guys who looked like they knew what they were doing.

I know Slytherin has high expectations for quidditch and these guys sure looked like they fit in. I look high up seeing Delilah and Atticus smiling down at me giving me a thumbs up in encouragement. I didn't want them to come but I appreciate the gesture.

Two people in the distance kept coming in closer, as they both came into view I saw Malfoy and another person walking behind him. Oh please just tell me he's trying out... please not let him be the captain. I know I don't stand a chance if Malfoy will get a say whether or not I join the team.

They both walk towards the front, people going silent once they stand in front us. Yeah now I know I'm screwed, I still have a chance to just walk out the field without embarrassing myself.

"We'll be playing a match to assess your strengths, divide into two teams Malfoy and I will be choosing." An unknown guy speaks, my guess he's the captain and Malfoy the co-captain. Flint isn't here I think he last year was his last year..

"Just because you made the team last year doesn't guarantee you a spot this year is that clear?" Malfoy shouts loud enough so everyone could hear, his eyes land on me a devilish smirk on his face once he sees me in my attire knowing I'm trying out.

The unknown guy and Malfoy take turns picking on people for their teams. I can't help but tap on my foot hopping Malfoy won't pick me, I can probably play better without him saying a snarky comment. The guy points his finger at me choosing me to be in his team, I let a small sigh of relief as I walk behind him but not out of the blue yet.

Once everyone is settled in their teams we huddle up discussing our positions. Three people slightly raise their hand deciding to be chasers, one person raises their hand to be a keeper. When the beater position gets called I hesitate to raise my hand but force myself to do it before anyone else gets the position. I and another guy who I don't know share looks as we will be beaters together, the captain hands us a small bat as well. We break our huddled positions ready to play.

I look over seeing Delilah very intrigued by all of this and Atticus keeping a very stern focus on me, nodding his head telling me secretly I got this. Maybe I do but seeing all of these people just makes me think they are all better than me, they might judge me because I'm a girl.

"You'll regret trying out today." I slightly jump as the low voice took me off guard, I turn around to see Malfoy towering over me, the same devilish smirk on his face lingers knowing he startled me. I grip my broom tighter not liking the words that came out of his mouth.

"Why because you can't handle a girl being better than you?" I pout, not letting him have the satisfaction of his words getting to me. I know my actions will definitely have consequences with him later.

"No princess" he takes a step closer to me, that dangerous feeling I get from him starts rising making my hairs stand up. "Because you think you can do whatever you want with me."

He walks away without saying anything else. I hardly ever spoken to him and almost all those times it was either me getting angry at him or him doing something to me. I look at him as he walks away mounting his broom, I clench my jaw as I mount my broom as well.
